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.

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.

Prompt professional team, Sammy Ruiz and the install team - Tyler & Augie - were great to work with. The foundation repair was professionally done. Follow-up 09/13/2024, discovered the dehumidifier had been installed so that the drain line wasn’t working properly. Called TerraFirma and Marcus came out, quickly diagnosed and fixed the issue and cleaned up the water overflow. He was prompt, professional and did a great job. Highly recommend TerraFirma for their work!
Seth visited our home to give us a quote on seismic retrofitting. He was on time (and made sure to call when he was heading our way), did a thorough assessment of our home, and was an absolute pleasure to work with. During the assessment, Seth patiently answered all of my questions. It was clear that he was extremely knowledgeable about the available retrofitting options and what best suited our home. The final proposal was easy to understand; it clearly outlined the work to be done, why it needed to be done, and how much various options would cost. Overall, it was an excellent experience.
I had my annual crawl space inspection and would like to give five stars to Adam for his professionalism, courtesy and thoroughness in his approach to his job.
Just had my crawl space inspected by TerraFirma and was very impressed! Mark Spandler was their representative that did the inspection. He was very courteous, professional and thorough. I was an engineer back in my day, and Mark really seemed to know his stuff. I would hire TF again, especially if I could request Mark
The company did good work. This is the second time we have used these services. Price has almost doubled in five years. Getting expensive!
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
Seth had been very knowledgeable and exhibited wonderful customer service when helping us with the beginning process of our new home's crawl space
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!
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.
Fast response. Courteous, professional employees in all areas of the company. Clear explanations of what needs to be done to fix the problem.
A few days after moving into our home we noted some serious issues with our outdoor drainage.Over the course of just 2 days of rain in the Pacific NW, water was flowing into the garage and crawl space rather than away from the house.We needed an evaluation and a plan asap. Based on reviews and services available, a quick call to TerraFirma was the answer.I had an appointment within a few days. We were very pleased when Seth arrived and explained that, by the end of today’s visit we would have a detailed plan including the cost. As we walked around the entire foundation and yard Seth was open to questions and explained details of what he was noticing. Seth was also taking note of other potential issue that could be avoided with some preventive DIY care.The extensive evaluation resulted in great news. Although we knew it was going to be an expensive project, due to the labor involved, Seth presented an optimal approach for a permanent solution at a fair price.We were very happy working with Seth and TerraFirma.Steve and ToniShelton,WA
Very hard and good working team. They did an excellent job and told me what they did and what to expect.
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...
Seth was helpful and informative. He was able to come evaluate the project right away and provide solutions to the issues.
Excellent service 👏! Cleaned the pump to the point it looks brand new. All systems were checked and I have confidence that my sump pump system will function for a long time. Thank you Marcus!
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.
We had mold issues under our house. TF was chosen to encapsulate the crawlspace, remove insulation and put in a dehumidifier. The job was difficult due to more dirt removal required than anticipated. The field team was excellent. They worked extremely hard, were neat and very friendly. They did a terrific job in a difficult situation. TF gave us a date for the work and arrived as planned and stayed on the job until completed. They dealt with us honestly and with integrity. Very satisfied with the solution, the results and the process of working with TF.
My encounters with TerraFirma have been great so far. During an initial "inspection"/quote for a few potential projects, they mentioned how their company had been born out of a desire to provide exceptional customer service where other companies in the field were not, and I feel it really shows. The information I was provided was well-explained and never felt like a sales pitch - simply information presented to allow me to make the decisions I needed to. It also came from someone who seemed like they had hands-on experience in the work, not just a representative in a uniform. I also received no "pestering" beyond this appointment, which I appreciated - I get that follow-up is a way that business try to hook new work, but the company I'd gotten a quote from two years prior still calls and emails me to this day, which gets annoying. That same company had also quoted me a price quite a bit higher for the same work, so despite someone commenting to me that TerraFirma was "the pricier option," their offer was a fantastic deal to me.I went ahead with scheduling the first project, crawlspace drainage and sump pump installation. The work was done well and cleanly, and communication throughout and after was great. I definitely plan to contact them again when I'm ready to tackle some higher-cost projects, and feel I don't need to bother with quotes from anyone else to know I'll be getting great work for a competitive price.
In short "WOW". Enough said.Living on the coast and sand moves with the rain at times. bought 8 yrs ago garage floor was sinking to one side. Finally called TerraFirma. What they did was amazing. lifted the floor as much as 4 inches in one section. As work was going on he explained what was happening with each step as I watched curiously. The wife was very reluctant to have them come now says we should have sooner. Even the patio door at the end of the garage works correctly now too.And something else I saw..... Customer Service is still alive and living in TerraFirma, Thank you to the TerraFirma people of Roseburg, Or. Salute to each and every one of them
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!
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.
We were quoted for work that they ended up not needing to do but they never lowered the price to reflect that. Frustrating from the billing aspect. The workers were polite and finished way sooner because of tying in to our existing drain field outside and not having to put one in as quoted.
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...
Marcus was great. Fast and clean servive, and knowledgeable when answering any questions I had.
TerraFirma did a great job lifting a portion of my driveway that was sagging. They evened out the sagging section without cracking it. Repair is virtually invisible. They also did a great job of sealing the joints afterwards.
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.
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.
Jeremy did an excellent job. The Terra Firma process worked fantastic. It was well worth the money!
Job turned out great,all employees top notch,Andrew the installer was a true pleasure to work with!
TerraFirma was there when they said they would be there. Their staff are always very professional, knowledgeable and enjoyable to talk to.
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.
Had a great consultation with Samuel - he showed me drawings and technical details right on the spot, and later responded quickly with a proposal. Looking forward to getting the work done with them!
As a residential broker in western WA I’m always interacting with different foundation & basement specialists. TerraFirma is the best I’ve come across. The team there, especially Seth, is top notch. I always get an accurate & reasonable solution from them regardless of the size of the job. I’m working with Seth on a project now & it’s been great. Highly recommend!
Seth is very knowledgable and straight foreward, which I really appreciated! I will definetly be recommending TerraFirma.Thanks Seth 🤗
I would like to give a shout out to Marcus who did routine maintenance on my sump pump system recently. His professionalism was outstanding. I really appreciated that he took before and after pictures of what he did under my house and explained everything. That was above and beyond and really reflects the standard of excellence of Terra Firma and their employees.
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.
Seth was amazing taking care of my family while I was away from the house. He was very kind and attentive. Although we were not in his scope of work, he was very helpful in pointing us in the right direction. Thank you so much Seth!
Very professional, prompt, friendly and good work. TerraFirma was a great company to work with as they made every appointment, completed the job well, and explained everything.
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.
TerraFirma did a great job with the earthquake update on our home. They were friendly and performed the work in the time expected and at the agreed cost.
