    Jake presented a good plan, which avoided problems that certainly would have occurred with the plan presented by your competition. I took careful notice of the reviews on Angie's List, and call some of the references, which were supportive. Finally, I chose Johns as a company that had been in business for some time and had extensive experience installing the basement waterproofing system. The guarantee was an extremely important factor in my decision, and John's track record suggests that it will remain in business and stand by the guarantee should problems occur. This was the best part of the project. Delfino and his crew (Francisco, Aaron, Ceasar) worked incredibly hard, were polite and considerate, and provided what appears to be a good installation. I give them my strongest recommendation. How they managed to hand carry 6 yards of broken concrete up out of that basement in the time they did is beyond me. John's employees spoke highly of the company, and the benefits offered. It sounds like a well run business. Please note that the system was installed in Central Oregon at our second home on the Deschutes River, where we are dealing with a high water table issue in summer. As of this writing, the water table is nearing its summer level, the sump pumps are working, and the basement/crawl space is dry.

    This service was excellent from the sales person (Jacob) who was knowledgeable and not pushy. He explained the entire process and could easily answer my questions. The drainage system was installed quickly and professionally. The installers were courteous and cleaned up nicely after the job. They were very professional and clearly had my best interest at heart. They were excellent. This is one of a few companies that I have found here that I feel are trustworthy. Thank you for solving my problem efficiently, timely and worth the cost.

    From the first contact until completion, this company was awesome. The pre-sale and post-sale documentation they provide is perfect. All the employees involved in my crawlspace encapsulation were professional and friendly, including the salesman Jacob, the installation leader Ivan, and the insulation guy John. I wish all my interactions with home project folks were as positive, but alas that's not the case. Thanks!

    I chose John’s to encapsulate my crawl space. They did an exceptional job. The greatest crew that I’ve ever had at my house. Their performance was better than I expected. I’m a perfectionist but they exceeded my standards. If you want quality materials, quality installation, and a competitive price choose John’s.
