Reviews

Jake and his crew did all of the concrete flat work, icf's from footings to trusses and the rough framing of our home.  Jake was a great communicator, extremely knowledgeable, detail oriented, honest and fast.  He achieved everything that we agreed on before the start of the project - the work to be completed, the time frame and the price.  Jake resolved all obstacles that presented themselves in the course of the project quickly and to my satisfaction.  If I were to do it all over again I would definitely hire Jake to do every part of the project that he was interested in.

ICF homeowner/self contracted

R-Value was a major subcontractor on a project of mine (I am a general contractor). This was a 4,000SF custom home new-build. R-Value provided ICF foundation, flatwork, framing and deck construction on the project. All of their work was excellent . Jake is highly experienced, well organized and a man of his word. The project was relatively detailed and a bit unique, and not surprisingly there were a few unexpected twists along the way. Jake and I were always able to agreeably sort out the implications on work flow, cost, etc.  The end result was a beautiful, well constructed and efficient new home for the homeowner. R-Value had a significant, positive impact on this result and I fully expect to hire them again.  PS - If you have not used ICF foundations before, I can just say that I love them because, in my opinion, they provide a highly insulated and "tight" building envelope, sound insulation from exterior noise and better engineered foundation wall system.
