About the Owner

Ryan is a sixth generation Oregonian and third generation entrepreneur in the construction industry. With a family heritage in agriculture, ranching, and mineral resources, Ryan was raised on a sheep, cattle, and horse ranch just North of Roseburg, Oregon. His grandfather, Phil Beckley, was principal and partner in Beckley and Thomas Rock Productions — a firm started in Elkton, Oregon in the late 1930’s, later becoming one of the largest aggregate suppliers in Southern Oregon. After serving a tour in Vietnam, Ryan’s father, Tom Beckley started a rock crushing and road building business in Southern Oregon.

At the early age of 24, Ryan Beckley started his first company, Beckley Excavation and Utility, which quickly positioned itself as a significant player in the civic construction industry. The success of the excavation business led Ryan to diversify into rock quarry operations, real estate development, and a foundation repair company that he named TerraFirma.

The impetus for starting TerraFirma was Ryan’s very first home — a beautiful home in a great neighborhood for sale at what seemed to be well below market value. Ryan later found that this was due to a foundation settlement issue, making the home incredibly hard to sell despite its great location. True to Ryan’s tenacious nature — Ryan decided he could find a way to fix it, and purchased the home. After extensive research and education on deep foundation repairs, it became apparent to Ryan that local homeowners and business owners were in dire need of the same services and solutions he sought.

In March of 2005, TerraFirma was created and has since become the industry leader in structural stabilization, waterproofing, and humidity control. With office locations in Oregon and Washington, and by far the largest and best-trained workforce in the industry, TerraFirma’s growth has been staggering.

Today, TerraFirma is Ryan’s only professional focus. Ryan instills a culture of excellence in all parts of TerraFirma, putting great culture and an amazing customer experience at the top of the list. After being named in the Portland Business Journal’s “Fastest Growing Companies” and The Oregonian’s “Top Workplaces in Oregon,” the future for TerraFirma keeps getting brighter and brighter.

We love our clients – and the feeling is mutual.
From Roseburg to Eugene, Portland to Seattle, our team does their best work every day. And we love when our customers take the time to let us know.

I had a great experience with TerraFirma, everything from communication and scheduling to the guys showing up on time and geeting things done quickly. Everyone was professional and I would recommend.
Our 50's ranch sits on solid sandstone, and we've always had ground water running underneath and puddling, making the house damp and keeping us chasing mold and mildew. We figured there wasn't much we could do. But last spring during heavy rains, the old positive flow drain at the bottom of our large crawlspace collapsed and allowed three feet of water to accumulate, destroying the water heater and missing the suspended furnace by a half an inch. We stuck a temporary sump pump down there but it ran constantly and we were afraid to go away even for a few days. A brief power outage would have us biting our nails wondering if the crawlspace would fill up again. Finally we called TerraFirma. The house has a weird layout with odd additions here and there, but they came up with a plan to capture as much ground water as possible and route it to a three-way backup sump pump system. The team arrived and in one day had the drains and sump pit dug (out of solid sandstone, yet!) and the pump system installed. The crew was fast, polite and efficient. They even pointed out a plumbing leak I didn't know about that wasn't helping the situation at all! Now, for the first time in thirteen years, the crawlspace is dry--really dry, no more puddles, no more mold, the house is so much more pleasant, and we don't have to worry about going away or power outs. And if and when we decide to sell the house, we can assure potential buyers that they won't have to worry about dampness or flooding. The service plan is transferrable, which is even better. We were very impressed with TerraFirma and would recommend them for hard-to-solve water issues.Update September 2020: Went to refi the house and the TerraFirma treatment was a big plus for us!
Terra Firma did a great job leveling out our back patio. Everyone I worked with was professional, courteous, and efficient. We’re very happy with the results.
We called TerraFirma with a pretty significant problem. We had just purchased a home and were a bit misled on a couple of items. The basement and crawlspace were mold infested (which we did know). What we did not know was that at times of the year, there would be some standing water in the crawlspace. We also didn't know that the drain from the sump pump was actually underwater (adjacent lake), nor did we know the pool backflushed into that same line and actually would enter the crawlspace whenever that process occured. The crawlspace was unvented and unconditioned....the perfect storm of BAD! Our goal was to first remediate the mold and then resolve the issues that allowed the mold to grow in the first place. Enter Terra Firma. Tulane and Terra Firma stood head and shoulders above every other company I spoke with. It wasn't jus that they were going to fix it- we literally walked through every step and every product-I knew what I was buying before we started. The crew was professional, on time and did exactly what they said they would do and in the time frame promised. With Terra Firma, we waterproofed and encapsulated our crawlspace, we insulated the crawlspace, we installed new sub floor drainage with new sump pumps with battery backup to lower the water table under the house (that now drains above the high water line), we installed new structural floor posts where others had rotted, we installed a bypass for the pool overflow and we installed dehumidification and we are in the process of now conditioning the space. Terra Firma led the way and did an excellent job both on the communication and on the installation (at the price originally quoted!). I would highly recommend this firm for anyone with complex and challenging crawlspace issues. Great work and fantastic team from start to finish!Bruce McKee
We are impressed with the knowledge and thorough and professional assessment of our home’s issue. Seth Cunningham was great at communicating information and providing answers to our concerns.
I don’t usually do reviews but in this case people should know this is a first class company. Great communications and no selling you on something you don’t need. John was very professional, he spent time with us expanding what issues he did find, measured the level of the floors, inspected under the house and checked wall and foundation cracks. He also placed a blanket down to collect any dirt from entering and exiting the crawl space inside the house. I highly recommend John from the Eugene office and TerraFirma.
Seth was helpful and informative. He was able to come evaluate the project right away and provide solutions to the issues.
Superb service! Excellent work. We asked them to lift (if possible), support and seal our driveway to stop some puddling, along with placing a new walkway to our front door. The concrete work was very nice, beyond complaint. The driveway was a question mark to start with, but they did well. Upon leaving, they invited us to call if we needed more adjustment. We did, and found them to be immediately responsive and very pleasant. Upon leaving again, they repeated their invitation to call again. All personel overall were very pleasant and responsive. (I am not financially or personally affiliated with Terra Firma in any way!)
We had an excellent experience with TF earlier this summer. Morgan spent many hours at our house evaluating our foundation, clearly explaining our options, and checking up on the crew once work commenced. Foreman Luis and his team (Tony M & Gustavo) were professional and efficient, and kept things on track. Thanks also to Heather for coordinating the whole operation. We are pleased with the outcome and look forward to a dry basement!
Marcus like all of the TerraFirma folks did a fantastic job! I can’t recommend him enough!Thanks!
The two man crew was polite and knowledgeable. They worked hard and finished on time. They was no damage to property and if needed they will repair the problem.
Seth Cunningham came for a site visit today at my rental home and was extremely professional and courteous. He explained the foundation water intrusion issues we were facing in depth and created a clear remediation plan at a fair price. I’d recommend Seth and TerraFirma to anyone needing building foundation services
I had a narrow but long concrete path that had heaved over the years and was cracked in a couple of places. Terra Firm leveled it perfectly and filled the cracks and gaps beautifully. Now I have a level path that I plan to expand with pavers on both sides. Huge cost savings, as my other option was to rip out the concrete and do a total reboot. Great people and a fair price for the work done. They were all done in one day and came back promptly to redo one gap between pads that wasn't just perfect.I highly recommend the Terra Firma experience. Bryna and Ken were a pleasure to work with.
The company did good work. This is the second time we have used these services. Price has almost doubled in five years. Getting expensive!
The Terra Firma team was wonderful! My foundation was in need of repair for quite some time. Terra Firma stabilized and repaired my foundation with the utmost care. I am extremely appreciative and will recommend Terra Firma to anyone in need of foundation work.
Fast response. Courteous, professional employees in all areas of the company. Clear explanations of what needs to be done to fix the problem.
Living in a 30-year-old home for the past two decades we've had several phases of upgrades, but one thing has always been absent from a 10x10 slab on our...
I am so satisfied with the work done by Terra Firma. This is the second time they have done repairs in my crawl space and Jonah, the project manager kept me up to date about what would be done and when. Jorge, the foreman was very professional and friendly and told me what was completed every day. He, Juan and Nick worked hard to complete the project on time and they did a fantastic job.
Thank you Seth, for being so thorough during the inspection of our needs. Your explanation of what caused our problem and the process to fix it was easy to understand. We are looking forward to having our foundation issues repaired by Terrafirma.
TerraFirma came to my house and repaired my sinking porch. They called when they were in route. Arrived and introduced themselves. Explained what they were going to be doing, asked if I had any questions. They were detailed and professional. Once they completed the work, they walked me through the results and confirmed that I was satisfied with the work. They advised that if I had any concerns, or notice any changes that seemed off, to reach out and they would come out and address the concerns. The office followed up the next day to ensure I was happy with the work. I highly recommend TerraFirma and their team! Thank you for the quality work and overall experience.
Very professional and hardworking company. Timely communication and they stand behind their work!
Our problem was that our front yard had settled, taking parts of our huge concrete front porch and sidewalk down with it. We watched the cracks in the porch get wider every year, and the sidewalk sloped down and away from the house.TerraFirma evaluated our situation and explained what was happening around our house. Then they gave a very detailed explanation of how they would make the repairs - even what they could and could not do - complete with a video demonstration.The young man who showed up to do the work was very courteous and professional. It was fascinating watching portions of our porch and sidewalk being raised up, leveled, and the gaps coming together.We are very pleased with the end result and have recommended TerraFirma to others.
Fernando and Eddie did a great job on our dual crawlspace project. Our floors are level, structure secure, and crawlspace is clean and pleasant - almost human livable! Wish we had done this sooner!
We have water intruding into our house, and that is never a happy thing. It was a pleasure to meet Mark Spandler of Terra Firma during a stressful time, and his knowledgeable and constructive demeanor was very helpful. The proposal for fixing our problem is detailed and reasonable. Thank you Mark and Terra Firma.
Seth had been very knowledgeable and exhibited wonderful customer service when helping us with the beginning process of our new home's crawl space
This is the 3rd time I have worked with this company. Very satisfied every time.Seth was very professional and easy to work with.

Good experience results were shared and explained to us.
Seth came out and was very professional and personable. He did a great job sharing your product with us. We could tell he was knowledgeable about your product. We also could tell he enjoyed his job.
Good people to work with all the way from start to finish!
It's clear that they only hire knowledgeable, super personality, good workers. They were quick and offered suggestions to support our barn.We were very happy that they relevel manufactured homes!
TerraFirma had sent a very nice gentleman come out to my house, his name was Seth Cunningham. He was very polite and thorough about his job. Great service. I would recommend this service.
Awesome job fixing the tripping hazard that was my sidewalk. From friendly and professional Pat who came out to assess and provide an estimate; to Amber, the project manager who was communicative, helpful and friendly; to Johnny who actually did the work I'm very pleased with - Thank you! Would highly recommend!
From free estimate to job completion, Terra Firma was a great, reliable company to work with. The no pressure estimate allowed us time to decide if / when we wanted our job done . After we decided to hire them the crew was fast, efficient and clean! They had photos of the completed job before and after (as I chose not to climb into the crawl space )and it looked stable, clean, and brand new! Very happy with Terra Firma and a job well done!
Very pleased with the work, from the beginning sales person visit to the ending follow-up chats, on the phone, about the work performed. We had a foundation...
Terra Firma was referred to us by our general contractor. We had some settling beneath our front stoop and sidewalk. From our first contact through the completion of the project we found them to be congenial, courteous, and professional. They kept us informed of what they would be doing, the process that they would use, and the anticipated outcomes. We were given an estimate that did not change upon our final billing. The technician that did the work explained everything he did and made sure that we were satisfied before he left. They guarantee their work and made a follow-up call to confirm our satisfaction. I highly recommend TerraFirma.
Really good team doing the work. Luis and company were polite, clean and professional. I am very satisfied with the result. Thanks.
My 50 yr old house was beginning to slide down and sideways off the hill. Terra Firma fixed it! The warranty is for 75 years, and goes with the house, so future owners are protected. Professional hard working people. Recommend them 100%.
