"<p>Just wanted to drop a line or two and let you all know how impressed we were with both your workmen and their work.  In today's society, you just don't find companies that really do a great job, they usually just do enough to "get by".<br /> <br /><br /> <br />At times, without their knowledge, I was home and could hear some of the men talking.  Much to my surprise, their language and subject matter were always appropriate.  Don't find that much in the labor force today!  It spoke volumes to me.  When they did speak with us, they were always very kind and informative.<br /> <br /></p> <p>The work that was performed consisted of excavating the dirt to gain access to the footings on both sides of the foundation.  On the inside, they had to bust out the concrete floor and hand dig to the footing in order to install their brackets for the "unified lift system".  After installing the brackets, they attached special hydraulic equipment to the brackets which drove 3" diameter<br /> <br />pipes down to bedrock.  Next, they attached a hydraulic jacking system to each pier location.  Using their special vehicle with a unique hydraulic pumping system they attached hydraulic lines to each location and were able to do a controlled lift.  From what we understand, your company is one of the only ones that can perform this "unified lift".<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />We were taking pictures daily and emailing them out to family and friends who could not believe their eyes!  They started out making our basement look like a bomb went off and when they were done it was swept and looking very nice!<br /> <br /><br /> <br />All this to say that the work done was absolutely astonishing!  We will highly recommend EHM to everyone that we hear may need this type of work completed.<br /> <br /><br /> <br />Thanks so much again.  We were dreading having this work completed, but you all made it so much nicer by your<br /> <br />expertise, kindness, and professionalism.</p> <p>Mike and Cheryl <br /> <br /></p> <br />"

"We are very pleased with the work Bob did.  Backsplash looks great  and the wife is happy so that makes me happy.  He was very professional and friendly.  He said with his schedule it would take two- 1/2 days to complete project but as will happen there was a scheduling snag and he completed the work on the backsplash in 1 day to avoid inconviencing us.  <br /> We are in talks with Bob to do some more work around the house.    <br /> <br />"

"We had a contractor in to do floor leveling after pulling up carpet and <br /> tile to discover a large crack front-to-back through the entire house <br /> where the north end of the house had sunk by 3". I asked the contractor <br /> if he thought I should consult with a structural engineer. He gave me <br /> the name and number of Regan, Matonak, and Associates. I dealt directly <br /> with Dan Matonak who assessed the structure and original problem. He <br /> also walked around the entire house and found an additional problem! <br /> He saw that the brick was bowing about 3/4" inch at the back. The upper <br /> level of the house is open at ground level to the back yard, while the <br /> lower level opens at ground level to the front yard. In other words, the <br /> back of the house is in a hill. His assessment was that the bowing was <br /> caused by inward deflection of cinder block wall at about 30" below <br /> ground level, without even seeing the cinder block. He said "If you <br /> remove that wood paneling, I think you'll find cinder block and I think <br /> you'll also find a 1/8" or so horizontal crack going along the entire <br /> back wall". He was completely correct! He recommended several possible <br /> companies to do the repair of the block using different mechanisms. The least <br /> costly of these was using "The Reinforcer" which was installed by Steven E. Jaymes <br /> contracting company of Chambersburg, PA. The work was done in MD and they were done <br /> in a morning. The epoxy is very smelly, but the smell was dissipated in a few days. <br /> The great things about this solution compared to putting in steel pillars or trenching the outside and <br /> putting rebar into the existing blocks are: <br /> 1) less expensive. Since I removed all of the wood paneling and insulating myself, exposing the back wall, <br /> I saved a few thousand dollars. If I hadn't already planned on doing this to replace the insulation, it may have been more expensive than trenching out the back yard and putting rebar into the block, but not by much. That was a lot of labor <br /> 2) the carbon fiber strips are very thin and it is easy to put insulating and finish wall back up over them. I replaced the insulation with higher quality Dow Foamular and then put paneling back up and painted it. It looks a lot better than before and has better insulation category <br /> 3) they give a lifetime transferable warranty on the repair. These strips are so strong, they will never break <br /> 4) I get all the cracks sealed with epoxy, effectively water-proofing the back wall, even though that wasn't a major concern. There was dampness under the existing insulation, but it's nice and try now."

"Because of the harsh winter and especially heavy snow loads, our home suffered from a sunken foundation beneath a load-bearing wall in the interior of our home.  This condition manifested itself with cracked drywall, sloping floors, and interior doors that would not close.  We invited 5 contractors to provide an assessment and estimate.  Two of the 5 contractors declined to provide an estimate, because they didn't feel the work aligned with their capabilities.  For the other 3 contractors, we obtained estimates.  Since these estimates were all surprisingly close to each other (within $1000), because of both good reviews on Angie's List, and an extremely professional/knowledgeable Sales Rep (Jack Kline), we selected "Ram Jack Ohio" to do the work for us.   <br /> Before I continue with the review, let me state up front that if you find yourself needing to have your foundation re-leveled and reinforced in a home that has a slab foundation, that you should expect the job (regardless of who is doing it)  to be dirty, noisy, and very expensive.  Prepare for this mentally ahead of time, and the experience might be less stressful on you and your family. <br /> Now for the review.  As already mentioned, the "Ram Jack Ohio" Sales Rep was extremely professional and knowledgeable.  I can't say enough good things about him, and I definitely can't say the same for all the other contractors that provided us with an assessment/estimate (one in particular was a disgrace to the sales profession).  The "Ram Jack Ohio" Sales Rep made 2 visits to our home before we signed the contract, and both times he was punctual and clearly explained what was going to be involved in the process.  He visited a 3rd time when it was time for the work to begin, so that he could share his assessment with the contractors. <br /> Despite this being a noisy, dirty job, the "Ram Jack Ohio" contractors did a very thorough job of keeping the dust & dirt contained to the work area, and they cleaned up at the end of each day.  My strong suggestion to you as a homeowner, is to cover any belongings that remain in or near the work area as thoroughly as possible, because concrete dust has a way of getting onto any surface that isn't covered, or into any drawer that isn't sealed.   <br /> The contractors were very polite, friendly, hard-working, and professional throughout the job.  The only negative comment I have is that start/end times seem to be rather arbitrary, and workdays were anywhere between 3 hours to 8 hours.  I suspect they were working on other jobs at the same time as mine, and if I could do this over again I would have stipulated a full crew working full time until my job was done.  As it was, I was quoted a 1-week job that actually took a full 3-week to complete. Some of the delay was due to unexpected job conditions, but I feel the majority of the delay was within their control. <br /> The end result is that "Ram Jack Ohio" successfully fixed our problem - everything is level now, and we now have a foundation that will maintain its integrity for many years.  Though I hated spending my money on something like this, I feel that it was spent wisely given our circumstances, and that the future generations of owners who live in our home will benefit from us taking care of this problem "the right way". <br />"

"The work was exceptional.  There was a significant structural integrity issue in which the builder had left huge gaps in the weight bearing beam.  This was addressed with a minimal additional cost.  Floors were replaced and they are gorgeous!  These guys showed up every day at 6:45 and worked through until 4:30 or 5:00 pm, always cleaning up and figuring out ways to make the process less intrusive.  They were polite and courteous.  My father and mother live with me, and this team was always offering to assist my elderly father with some task or activity that he had taken on.  My supplier, Lowes, had failed to take care of some important steps along the way, and this very professional crew took it in their stride and addressed the lapses .  They were attentive to details.  At one point in became clear that the wrong gas cook time was ready for installation.  Matt came to me and advised me that he thought it was wrong...good catch, because I would have been very unhappy with the other cooktop.  Each step of the way, the team stopped to make sure that I was happy with the work and made corrections if there was a need (very little need!).  When I was away, I even received pictures of the work. <br /> I have been so happy with the work that these guys have done, that I had them back to do some additional work including a huge painting job.  Steve was awesome!  As always, pleasant, courteous, respectful, and detailed.  Epic is the best and I will call on them again! <br /> <br />"
