"Jim and his crew were absolutely fantastic throughout the seven weeks of my foundation project. They were never anything less than prompt, professional, punctual, and responsive. Replacing a foundation is a *huge* task but Jim's crew made it as smooth as possible even as I continued working from home. Jim and his crew handled everything, from the engineering drawings and permitting to dealing with a very persnickety city inspector to get the city to sign off on everything at the end. That was one reason we went with Jim Gardner Construction - his bid included *everything*, including removing and reinstalling driveway pavers, repainting the bottom 20 percent of the house, and even repairing a damaged washing machine drain line that they discovered. Other contractors were going to leave the permits to us, and make us hire another contractor to handle the pavers. I recommend Jim Gardner Construction without reservation for any drainage, foundation, or general construction job you may be considering. He'll be my first call next time I need a general contractor."

"Let me just say also that it looks fantastic, better than we would have hoped when we started on this a few months ago. Indeed, the whole process has been extremely smooth and professional. I particularly appreciated your willingness to think creatively about how to approach this project, your communication during the work, as well as your flexibility regarding the tenants."

"You may be interested that we chose you over two other quoters. Those two companies provided lower quotes, but we chose you for many reasons. Your presentation online, your reviews, and most importantly the thorough approach you laid out yesterday while you were here. I particularly like your focus on the depth of the trench (and length) and the foundation seal using two different systems. Also, I recognize that while the elements of the trench might be fairly standard, it is the execution by a well-trained crew that will insure the quality of the work. I’m short, you strike me as someone who is running a quality operation, and we are very pleased you are willing to work here."

"We did not end up hiring Jim for a large project because he was honest about the fact that we could afford not to do it. He did not even try to come up with something small we "needed" to do. He instead spent a good ~30 minutes with me, looking at things in close detail (including things I hadn't asked about!) and explaining his assessment in detail to make sure I understood. I'll absolutely be saving his info for whatever project comes up next. P.S. The reason we reached out is because he did gorgeous work at our neighbor's house--an entire front yard/front porch overhaul that looked awesome. She highly recommended the whole team."

"I highly recommend Jim Gardner for his deep expertise, honesty, and professionalism. I contacted Jim to assess the drainage and foundation at my house. A lot of other drainage professionals I talked with felt like they are trying to sell you something or scare you into spending a ton of money right away--but not Jim! I was very impressed and appreciative that Jim was upfront and honest that we didn't need to rush into any projects. Jim's decades of experience led us to understand that there was probably nothing wrong with our house and should wait before deciding on any major projects. He told us what to look out for in case something major changed in the future. If we ever have drainage or foundation concerns again in the future, we will definitely be calling Jim!"

"Jim was clear and concise in communication, respectful (hard to believe a lot of service professionals still dismiss women), and honest. I trust Jim fully with any future needs. Call him!"

"Jim Gardner just replaced the landing at the top of our front stairway. We were extremely impressed with Jim's knowledge, his professionalism, and his crew. The job entailed removing the original 90-year-old brick landing, the columns, and building a cement support wall underneath: the job was complicated. The work was completed quickly, even though we had rain almost every day. The crew made sure the worksite was tidy at the end of each day. Jim went above and beyond what we expected and had the crew repaint all surfaces of our front porch. It's stunning work and I highly recommend Jim Gardner. I hope to use him again."
