We own a home in downtown Seattle with a basement that's partially filled with soil. We've often…read morewondered whether it's feasible to excavate that portion to create a usable basement room. Recently, we purchased another house just across the street, which experienced water leakage in the basement. Concerned about potential foundation issues in both properties, we reached out to Ram Jack West for a professional evaluation. Chris from Ram Jack West arrived promptly and conducted a thorough assessment of both homes. He took the time to answer all our questions and provided clear, reassuring feedback. Thankfully, he confirmed that neither property showed signs of foundational problems. We truly appreciated the peace of mind Chris gave us. When we're ready to move forward with excavating the basement in our first home, Ram Jack West will be our first call. We highly recommend this company--they're professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to helping their clients.

They did the most detailed analysis of where the house needed to be raised, and didn't try to upsell us on anything extraneous to that. Most of our job consisted of putting several dozen jacks under the floor, to reverse 25 years of settling. It took a bit more than a day to place everything, and then a few hours to actually jack things up. The floor is now essentially level, and there were no cracks that we have found.

We have several neighbors who have watched the care and quality we received with ground works and have said they will be the first company they will call when they are ready to have work done on their homes. Thank you, Ernst and the rest of your team for treating us like you would a member of your own family. It has been a pleasure working with you. Cindy and Alan D.

After removing the concrete, replacing the rotted wood, he built us a small deck area which gives us larger lateral space as a door step compared to the small concrete step. A marked improvement over just the moisture fix and rot repair. This was a pretty significant job and our home is very unique in structure which created many challenges. As a homeowner invested in a major renovation project, I had some pedantic requirements and Jorge was empathetic to all of them. The work was permitted and passed inspection with king county.

Paul at Allied worked with me over the course of four months figuring out the best way to deal with the problem. The solution was a channel drain that would lead to my existing gutter drainage system. Because of the topography of my existing driveway, I assumed that there would still be a fair amount of puddling even after the drain was installed and that I would just have to live with it. In the days just after the install however, it rained quite a bit, and the drain worked pretty much perfectly. The puddling has been reduced by about 95%, and the water that does collect is shallow enough to handle easily. After the rain stops, the remains evaporate after a few hours. The small lake that I used to have to walk around is gone. The guys who did the install were professional and very courteous and Paul was very knowledgeable and patient in response to my many, many questions and emails leading up to the install. Would definitely recommend Allied for any project, large or small.

Trust is 100% restored knowing that if problems come up they will take any action needed to follow up. I will also say that the work they originally did was actually to code, and we agreed that the moisture problems arose due to the nonstandard setup of my dehumidifier, NOT because of errors in Terra Firma's work. Thank you Terra Firma.*** Unfortunately, I have to drop a negative review in the interest of warning other folks that their work has gone downhill. I previously had an excellent experience with Terra Firma for management of a water problem in my crawlspace. I hired them without question again for my current property for management of moisture issues, and I didn't check their work upon completion as thoroughly as I should have. Unfortunately, about 1 - 2 months after completion of work, I discovered a large mushroom growing out of one of the structural posts in my crawl/basement. On closer inspection, I noticed that the dehumidifier water discharge line they installed was dumping less than a foot away from my foundation, corresponding to the exact spot the mushroom was growing. Moisture was the exact problem they were supposed to fix, but now they have created a severe structural problem secondary to moisture with the dehumidifier line dumping large quantities of water right next to my foundation. In other words, they created the exact issue they were purporting to fix by collecting the moisture and depositing it into my foundation. Once fruiting bodies are growing out of wood, this is an indicator that the wood is severely compromised and the fungus network has grown extensively. I now have a very expensive and serious problem to fix. I called to let them know about the problem, not sure if I will hear back from the coordinator/ the team who did the work. I am not sure if I would trust them to fix the issue after the damage they have caused, but I would accept financial remediation. If they take steps to make things right, I would update my review. I would not hire Terra Firma again for any crawlspace work, be it structural or moisture related because of the big problem they have caused. Again, just would like to warn others.

I would describe the last 9 weeks as nothing short of a horrific nightmare experience at the hands…read moreof 4 Sons Concrete and Landscaping, also known as Nelson's Concrete Mason Design. Learn from us, don't trust or hire this company and the owner. Safe yourself the pain, money and extra money you'll need to fix their "work". Nelson Tatufu bid it as "three week job." We called them off the job on week 9 and with ZERO confidence in them to do any work or make any repairs without causing more problems and/or damage. The below is only a small representation of the issues we are now facing. Bids to fix all the damage that was done is currently at 10k and counting to our yard, house and brand new fence. Concrete -Concrete was poorly poured, lines are not straight and sloppy "patches" that don't match were poured to cover up previous mistakes. -House, fence, driveway and yard are splattered with concrete. -Concrete ramp connecting to sidewalk is too steep. -Dog run areas - which should look the same - have different gap spacings. Decking -Do not believe them when they say they can build anything for you. They can't do concrete, let alone a building project. -Deck was poorly measured and did not line-up with our request. It is wider than we asked for and that resulted in contractor sawing a hole in a window box that should have never been touched to accommodate the railing. The cut was so sloppy that it exposed the interior of our walls. -Mr. Tatufu's crew re-used old boards that had been used previously as concrete forms as the supporting structure for our new deck. -Support beams and stair stringer were not pressure treated wood so they would never last in wet, Seattle weather. Plus, they were already cracked with chunks of wood falling off them. -The deck boards were damaged with numerous misplaced and removed screws. -The deck boards did not feel firm under the feet because they had not been properly secured to the base. Also, the base wasn't secure. -Loose sections of railings have already fallen off the deck. Very dangerous situation! -New railings are scratched and damaged do the crew leaving them out, and throwing them around for weeks. -Railings along both deck and stairs are loose with missing bolts and very unsafe. -Railings on stairs are not lined up with each other and one side is longer than the other resulting in a loose handrail that is unsafe. -Countless, uneven, jagged, saw cuts on deck enclosure. Other Issues -Removed a fruit tree without our permission just so they could park their truck. -House siding was damaged with tape residue, screws and staples. Screws and staples are still covering the fence and house siding. House will need to be repainted. -Fence gates were removed and re-installed not in-line with the fence. -Fence sections were removed and left leaning against walls resulting in fence board bending and looking awful. -Gate latch re-installed upside-down after removal. -Post cap missing from fence post. -Contractor dismantled outdoor tortoise enclosure area without permission and are lucky to have not killed the tortoise. -Constantly late and frequent cancellations even after asking us to block off street parking for multiple days in a row. -Artificial turf is not properly secured in many areas, and the cuts are almost comical how horrible they are. -Kept asking for more money beyond the initial agreement. -Caused more damage and issues every time their crew came to "fix" past issues. -Complete lack of care taken with our house and yard. The mess is unimaginable. -Nelson brought his children multiple days to the job site, and they were here well past 10pm and asked to use our house multiple times for water, bathroom breaks. They could be found laying in the yard among the mess of the job site. Completely unsafe and a huge liability. Heard enough? Get a load of the photos, it is what nightmares are made of.
