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.

Jeremy did an excellent job. The Terra Firma process worked fantastic. It was well worth the money!
Very professional organization. It was from the estimate process to completion. If anyone has a concrete leveling project I recommend this company 100%.
Mark came on behalf of the company to give me an estimate of the work on my crawl space. He was honest and straight about all the observations he had. He gave me some ideas of how to reduce the cost , even part of the job I could do by myself based on his guidelines.
This is the 3rd time I have worked with this company. Very satisfied every time.Seth was very professional and easy to work with.
Exceeded expectations in quality and time frame
Very prompt on inspection and the team did a fantastic job leveling our home. The gals in the office were right on top of getting us scheduled right away. Thank you Terra Firma
Great experience, highly recommend! Replaced a faulty sump with a much better setup. Thank you, Terra Firma ❤️
Seth came out to bid a project, replacing old wooden posts with steel. He was on time and very knowledgeable. He took his time making sure not to miss any details, which I really appreciated. Can't wait to get the work completed!
They did a very professional job.when there was a small problem a month later they returned and set it right at no additional charge. Punctual, Professional and Prompt.
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!
Very professional. Totally cleaned up when done and workmanship was excellent.
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 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.
Seth is very knowledgable and straight foreward, which I really appreciated! I will definetly be recommending TerraFirma.Thanks Seth 🤗
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.
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%.
I recently purchased a home that I knew had water encroachment in the basement. Terra Firma came and presented what can be done and I knew it had to be done. Tieran and his crew came in and did exactly what was explained to me. They answered all my questions and I feel very confident it will be a dry basement going forward. I highly recommend this company for any work that needs to be done to foundation, water issues, crawl space etc. Fantastic company!
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.
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
The Crew was great to work with, Region Supervisor did a great job, The lady on the phone was knowledgeable on the job process and has great communication style. The job turned out just has they described, we had our crawl space waterproof.
I got a bid done by TerraFirma today. After speaking with Seth today. He answered my hundreds of questions and cured and worries I had about foundation issue. He broke it down and explained the whole process from start to finish how to remedy my foundation problems. I like the fact that they were punctual. They were right on time at the scheduled appointment and wasted no time trying to figure out a solution for my problem. The prices He gave to me were really fair and the depth of knowledge was very useful. I feel very confident that TerraFirma should be able to fix my settling / cracked foundation problems.
We had a very good experience with Seth Cunningham. He actually did go into the crawl space and really inspected the whole space; 5 starts for Seth.
Robert Carmona and his team were professional, thorough, and pleasant to work with. They did an excellent job leak proofing our basement - we're thrilled with the result! They also left the place better than they found it. I so appreciate their hard work. Thank you Robert et al!
Seth did a good job analyzing my parking lot and giving me a quote.
We would like to express our satisfaction with Terra Firma and their crew: Sammy, Jose H, JaQuawn, Riko, Jonathan, and Jorge D. Everything looks great, buttoned up, with all extra materials carried out. Space is completely clean with work done as agreed.
Terra Firma leveled an aggregate surface walkway for us. There was a mixup about dates, so we weren't home and one of our cars was somewhat in the way. With our approval, they did the work in our absence and protected the car. And it all came out great!
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!
Seth did a wonderful job on our foundation inspection and was very attentive to my clients needs. Thank you Seth.
The company did good work. This is the second time we have used these services. Price has almost doubled in five years. Getting expensive!
Obviously this is a major expense and something no one wants to sea with. However, since we had to do it, I’m so glad we found Terra Firma. The entire team was great to work with. The initial consultation was no pressure and very informative. The project coordinator was an excellent communicator and seamlessly coordinated permits and scheduling. The team was very kind and professional. The care they took to restore the dig areas back to their original state was very representative of their work ethic. We joked after that our garage had never been so clean. I also appreciated the way they explained the system used and even pointed out some siding that was bad so we wouldn’t be caught by surprise later. They were really great. I recommended them to my Mom, which I wouldn’t do if I wasn’t confident they would treat her well.
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.
I'd been putting off fixing our sunken garage for a few years. With the flooding seasons getting more and more distinct, it was time. i called a few...
Good experience results were shared and explained to us.
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.
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!
This was truly an awesome experience, from the time Will arrived to do the estimate, to completion of the job a little more than a week later. Will gave us great insight as to the foundation and build of our home. We were having issues with a back patio and front steps that were added to the property post build and had sunk quite a bitt.All the folks we dealt with at TerraFirm were friendly, informative, helpful and kind. From our initial contact with Hillary to schedule appointments, to our very informative meeting with Will for the appraisal and estimate, and a very special shout-out to Schylar and Jonny, for a very cool learning experience during installation. We pestered them with questions the entire time they were here and they graciously and willingly answered them all! great crew, awesome job and a joy to spend time with.Thank you all for a great experience!!!Michele
Skylar was terrific! On time, efficient, polite, tidy, finished a day early. Explained the process and what to expect.
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.
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!
Job turned out great,all employees top notch,Andrew the installer was a true pleasure to work with!
