JES Receives Roaring 20 Award for Growth

Roaring 20 Award Recognizes the Region's Fastest Growing Companies

2010-11-11

VIRGINIA BEACH, VA, November 11, 2010 (Press-News.org) JES, a leading engineering solutions company specializing in foundation repair, basement waterproofing and crawlspace moisture control, was recently named to Hampton Roads Roaring 20 - an award that recognizes 20 of the region's fastest growing companies that are making significant contributions to the local economy. To qualify for this prestigious honor, a company must be headquartered in Hampton Roads for at least three years, have realized gross revenues of at least $2 million in 2009 and experienced three years of growth.

Established in 1993, JES has grown from one employee into a company with three locations and over 100 employees with a 64% increase in annual gross revenue over the past three years. Founded by Jesse Waltz, a professional engineer, in his native Pennsylvania, JES originally focused on waterproofing basements. However, when he relocated the business to Virginia to be closer to family, he quickly realized that the area did not have as many basements so structural repairs were added to the company's services, which is now the biggest part of the business.

While JES was growing, Waltz also consulted around the country on foundation repair and business management, but still wanted to monitor his business while away from the office. As a result, Waltz developed BizWiz , a Web-based business management system designed for the foundation / basement / crawlspace repair industry and other home improvement industries. BizWiz provides real-time data on a company's activities and performance, including leads, sales, marketing, gross profits, personnel and other information. Currently this management system is being used by 40 companies in the United States and Canada, and it is revolutionizing the way they do business.

JES is a structural engineering solutions firm specializing in residential and commercial foundation repair, basement waterproofing systems, and crawl space moisture control systems. For more information contact us at 877-JES-WORK or at http://www.jeswork.com.
