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.

TERRAFIRMA IN THE COMMUNITY

Each year, TerraFirma locations partner with various community causes, both large and small, to give back.
While this list isn’t exhaustive, we are proud of our individual and collective efforts to make a positive impact in our communities.

thank you
Homeowners!

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.

We had Tyler from TerraFirma come out to bid fixing a standing water issue in our crawlspace. He was thorough (crawled the entire crawlspace), knowledgeable and responsive to questions. As a real estate agent having access to good contractors is vital, and his professionalism has placed TerraFirma solidly on our short list.
Very happy with job the company did. Price was fair, and project was done on time
Very efficient and professional!
Our house is built in the SW hills of Portland originally in 1938, with a 2003 addition. TerraFirma waterproofing product has been a significant update to a...
I hired TerraFirma to do a seismic retrofit on my house. The entire experience was outstanding! They showed up exactly when they said they would. The job was completed in the expected time and they cleaned up after themselves.
I feel like the cost of the project was more than reasonable for the peace of mind l now have, knowing l have done what l can to protect my home in the event of an earthquake.
I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a professional company to work on their foundation.
We had a difficult time getting a company to follow through to repair our sidewalks. They would not show up or came and never called back.
So I was glad when TerraFirma called back right away and came out for a estimate. Ken did a great job and I don't worry about neighbors falling.
Excellent work on transforming crawl space. The experience with Terra Firma was outstanding from our first meeting with the technical specialist Andrew Fry through the completion of the project. The work crew was courteous and professional and did a fine job. Thank you Terra Firma!
Edit review: I have used this company in the past and will do so in the future. I had a poor experience with scheduling (largely attributed to the Microsoft...
Installers were very professional. I asked for a few areas to be filled farther They made adjustments in areas that I asked gladly. I would recommend TerraFirm Foundation Systems to others. My back was out, the guys removed items from side of the house. Please give the installation team our thanks

Don't hesitate, call these folks and specifically ask for Seth!! I am not a construction minded individual and had a level of intimidation when asking to have someone come out to look at our foundation, but Seth made everything so dang easy. Never once did I feel like he was talking over my head (very knowledgable!) and was extremely respectful with any/all questions I had. He truly took his time and didn't make me feel like I was wasting his. 100/10!
Jeremy did an excellent job. The Terra Firma process worked fantastic. It was well worth the money!
I was referred to John from Terra Firma when I was looking to have our foundation inspected. John was very friendly and knowledgable and came out to our house to measure and inspect everything. In the end he was able to put our mind at ease and did a great job of explaining different scenarios and what he was looking for.

John even inspected the crawlspace while he was out and provided great feedback there as well. Overall we got a lot of good information and never felt as though we were being pushed into unnecessary services.

I will certainly be reaching out to Terra Firma for any future needs!
This company is pretty amazing, I can't state that enough.
We had a flooded crawl space with torn soggy ducts lying in the dirt. I think they've sent around ten people over the course of the project: Antonio, Jonathan, Robert, Fernando, Christian, Jesse, Jorge, and others. They've done an excellent job.
Our kid has asthma, that's why. This past year he's had far fewer asthma attacks. IMO it was well worth it.
Terrafirma is an outstanding company.
They know what they're doing.
I highly recommend them.
I had my estimate with Pat Dunn today. He was on time, professional, knowledgeable about our areas geography. He offered a solution to my issue but also said it was not necessary in my case. I really appreciate the honest assessment. If the need arises, i will not hesitate to call Pat back at Terrafirma.
Great communication, excellent work. Do not hesitate to hire!
My experience with the TerraFirma Company and their employees was just outstanding. They were polite, timely, took time to explain to me what they were doing and why. When they were finished, they explained everything that they had done and the results. Then they cleaned up my yard and you couldn't even tell they had been there. A big Thank You to Taylor, Lewis, and Brent and the two gentlemen that I can't remember their names. Also, the support staff at the office did a very good job of keeping me informed of the process of the necessary permits. I highly recommend this company.
Jorge and his team did a great job in my crawlspace replacing 40-year-old cracked wood support posts with TerraFirma's SmarkJack posts. Jorge was kind, respectful, knowledgeable and thorough, always keeping me informed as to exactly what he and his team were doing and how long it would take, plus having me check on their work. Thank you for the excellent service.
Andrew, Joey, Caidin, and Preston did the encapsulation of our crawl space. A dingy and damp crawl space has been transformed into the look of a hospital operating room! All were good workers and very helpful, with ideas and tips, and noticed issues that were not a part of their duties, but nonetheless did need to be addressed. No review yet on how the system works, but I can highly recommend this installation crew! Thank you guys!
Jonathan Heredia, Brandon, Jonathan, Lucas and Kameron recently did work on our crawlspace and they did and outstanding job. Very professional! I would highly recommend them and TerraFirma for any crawlspace work.
We were able to get an appointment two days after calling and they were even able to come earlier after checking in to make sure we were available. Even though we were given some hard news about the repairs needed Jason did so in such a friendly and courteous manner. He was very patient with me and explained all of the proposal in detail. I really appreciate all of the time Jason took to help me today. It really made me feel like our house wasn’t just a job.
Mr. Stanford did a thorough inspection of our crawlspace and gave us the honest opinion that very little needed to be addressed. He was very professional and clearly very experienced. This was after a competitor came out and tried to convince us we needed an $18,000 encapsulation.
Excellent customer service from begining to end, excellent communication and overall the best
Terra Firma's Mickey came today for the annual "check-up" on our vapor-lock and pump system. From images taken before and after, plus warranteeing a changed...
Kudos to Riley, a TerraFirma System Design Specialist. Riley is a smart guy. Honest and communicative. He's focused on problem-solving instead of just selling products. You don't find that skill very often these days. I had an excellent experience getting a crawlspace encapsulation estimate from him.
Excellent. Performed service as requested. Highly recommend. They secured a crack in our garage floor and on a sidewalk ..
100% will recommend this company. Friendly, respectful, professional employees. Rare in these days and times.
Hired to correct sinking floor throughout the home, to the point doors couldn't close or would stick and could feel significant change in the floor height...
Jaden Torson came out to do an inspection for the inside & outside of my house. Jaden explained everything that he had seen & took pictures for me to see what was going on so I could understand the issues. Jaden has a great personality & had different options on how they could approach the issues. He was a pleasure to guide me through the best solution to resolve the type of issues I have if I decide to go forward to fix them.
Totally satisfying customer experience.
Every aspect of job was professional and problem solved on our side yard sagging courtyard! Helical spears to save the day and years to come👍🏼 Silicon foam being applied
To reinforce the erosion earth done very professionally. Nice friendly folks too!👍🏼

Highly recommend Terrafirma!!!!
So I had Jorge as a Forman with Juan, Manuel, Kevin, Zach, and Daniel.
First off, Jorge did an excellent job of communicating the process, explaining materials he was using, and setting up the sump online system with my wife (it was the first time he'd installed this particular sump, so the set up was new to him as well).
Secondly, When he was done, even though it was Friday night and I know he wanted to get back home, he chatted with my wife and I and was very pleasant and positive. I believe he said he's been there for four years and also said it was a great company to work for. I also work in the construction industry and was generally curious about the company. I could tell he was sincere.
Lastly, To say they worked hard was an extreme understatement; they had to haul in by hand 5 gallon buckets of concrete and haul out all the jackhammering they did to get the foundation flood protection as well as the sump set. No standing around. No cell phone use. Just solid work. Jorge's crew was friendly enough, but they were no-nonsense and left the up front communication to him.

The cost wasn't cheap, but we went with Terra Firma strictly on reputation. We live about 75 miles out of PDX, and to get the job done, they sent out an additional crew for a crucial piece of the work. I would say, despite the cost (and it's not like they were ripping me off, it was just a costly project), I got my money's worth based on what I saw from the labor intensity. I really can't believe how much they did in such little time. They said "one day", and by God they made it happen. They had to hammer out approximately a 75' long, 8" wide by 10" deep trench along the inner concrete foundation of my house, hammer out and install a sump, then core out, install and set a discharge conduit about 12 feet outside of my house. Not a small task for a day's work.

My only nitpick would be there was a small amount of dust left over from the work, despite the very elaborate taping and containment plastic they used (which was a LOT). They did great of taping everything and covering floors, etc. I was concerned about silica, and Jorge told me they would use a vacuum shroud for the hammering process, which I assume was done, but was not at home for that phase of the process. My wife has asthma, so dust is our nemesis!

This is one of those projects that you hope you don't have to use (flood prevention), but a small part of me wants to have water trickle in to see the efficacy of the work. Time will tell!
Until then, thank you Jorge and crew for kicking some ass, and getting a good tackle on our flood prevention!
We reached out to a few local companies before deciding to go with TerraFirma for our basement waterproofing. Their solution was straightforward, well explained and competitively priced.

We had a sump pump installed along with a waterproof membrane and dry track along the walls. Their team found a way to put the sump pump under the stairs so it was accessible but out of the way.

I had a few concerns that I brought to their attention after the project was finished. They went above and beyond to make sure that everything was taken care of. I appreciate that they really stood by their work.

Since the waterproofing was finished we had torrential rain (that previously would have left standing water) and our basement remained bone dry. The peace of mind has definitely been worth it.
Terrafirma just completed a crawl space drainage project with installation of sump pump. They did a fabulous job. Jorge was the excellent foreman. He is professional and a great communicator. His team included Juan and Manuel. They all worked incredibly hard to get the job done on time under difficult conditions. They also did a great job of cleanup. I cannot recommend them enough!
These guys were fantastic! Luis Juarez and his team did an amazing job. We had minimal disruption, and the job site was kept clean at all times. The resulting stability of the building is great. They were responsive to our questions, courteous at all times, and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
Edit review: I have used this company in the past and will do so in the future. I had a poor experience with scheduling (largely attributed to the Microsoft outage) and a surprise quote adjustment on the day of install.

However, after working with the management team, a remedy and resolution was reached that left me feeling this was an unfortunate exception to their general high-quality service and standards.

4/5 stars due to some bumps in the road but they ultimately made it right.
They follow through and are very helpful. We also used them 5 years ago and do very happy. I respect them and what they do. Joanie Chambers
My estimator, Hanna was so awesome and so was the crew that showed up to perform the work! Very informative, professional, efficient and kind. I will definitely refer TerraFirma to others.
TerraFirma raised a settled front porch on our rental property in Olympia. Raised it almost 6". That went just as discussed, no surprises and obviously...
The floor in our shop is nice and level that the door closes so nicely. before the door would not close at all. This is the second time that TerraFirma has helped us out of a sunken floor!
Great work. I had huge foundation issues on a large waterfront project. Terra firma waterproofed my basement and lifted the house on hydolic piers to level it out. They saved my project. Seth was a fantastic project manager and Oscar and Jorge completed the job extremely well. 10/10 would recommend for any foundation issues.
