"I called JES Foundation Company for a free inspection of my crawl space. I was concerned about a crack in my foundation wall. JES inspector Richard Sheman Showed up to inspect my foundation. He sent a text with the time of his arrival. He was pleasant and on time. He went into my crawlspace and inspected the crack in the wall and stated I had nothing to worry about. He was very knowledgeable about the foundation and itâ  s structure. He explain to me how I could fix the superficial settling crack and save a bunch of money.

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Oswaldo and his team for a foundation repair project, and I couldn't be more impressed with the service they provided. From the moment they arrived at the job site, Oswaldo displayed exceptional professionalism and expertise. He quickly assessed the areas that needed attention and promptly updated the repair plan to ensure it met the specific requirements of the situation. Despite facing challenging weather conditions—snow and ice melt, followed by heavy rain, and an unexpected flow of water under the house—Oswaldo and his team showcased remarkable perseverance. Their dedication to completing the job, no matter the obstacles, was commendable. Additionally, I appreciated Oswaldo's commitment to communication. He kept me thoroughly updated on the project's progress and any necessary changes, which provided me peace of mind throughout the process. Overall, I highly recommend Oswaldo and his team for any foundation repair needs. Their experti"

"They installed a french drain and pump and installed water proofing on the walls.  Initially I thought some of the workers were not really the best, so I called and a manager came out and was very honest and acknowledged their faults and came out and fixed all the issues.  I was very impressed with this, he was very responsible.  They ended up doing a fantastic job in the end."

"Stone wall rebuild:
The crew disassembled the existing deteriorating stone wall which enclosed a Japanese maple and other plants.  They dug a trench beneath where the new wall would be installed and installed 6" of CR6. Perforated pipe was installed behind where each wall would be and it was filled with 6" of #57 stone.  The walls were then rebuilt with the addition of a pallet of matching Western Maryland stone.  The downspout drain was extended under the wall with SCH 40 pipe with a pop-up drain.  They seeded and strawed all disturbed areas and installed mulch inside of the stone wall which retained the Japanese maple and other plants and shrub. All of the wall is level and stable and looks great. I had gotten other estimates and they were all about the same, but I feel that no other contractor would have done as good a job.
Front walk replacement:
Removed concrete front walk which was deteriorating and hauled it away. Installed the proper multi-layer base and tamped it down.  Installed the pavers in a pleasing "I" pattern with a contrasting boarder. Replaced existing concrete step with wall block and caps that matches the pavers.  Installed polymeric sand, swept it in cracks and tamped it down. Reapplied sand, tamped it down and wet it down to activate it.  They diverted two drain spouts by the walkout in the rear of the house. They also extended an existing garden boundary, removing the grass by undercutting with shovels and moved the existing stone boundary around the new perimeter. They seeded and strawed all disturbed areas and installed mulch around the pavers. They did such a good job on the wall rebuild that I didn't even get estimates from other contractors for the walk.
Work crew:
All of the work crew on both jobs were polite and were hard workers. They were glad to answer any questions and explain what they were doing. They showed up on time and did an excellent job of cleaning up the work site when the job was completed.
Owner:
Kyle Hodges responded to phone calls and emails promptly and answered all questions. He stopped by periodically to monitor the jobs. I felt that he did more than he had to do make sure that I was satisfied with the work that was being done.

"Excellent job all around. The work was done in late March, 2019, but I waited to post this review until after a heavy rainstorm. The storm of July 8, 2019 (>4"/hr) would normally have caused water to seep up through the concrete floor. After the storm, there was not even a drop. The sump was dry. The job was messy: jackhammers and lots of dust. They left it clean. One cannot even see where they cut the lawn to get the pipe to the curb. My only critique is that the new concrete poured to replace the broken floor should have been completely leveled. From initial estimate to installation, excellent work."

"G&D construction did a great job! They installed a 14 x 14 patio foundation for a shed. They were timely and responsive with the initial inquiries. The job was completed as expected. The team was professional and polite! Castillo and team were awesome!"

"I had admired the careful craftsmanship Xtra Care put into a project at a friend's home and thought they would be a good fit for my project. I was not disappointed! Xtra Care did a stunning job restoring my 110 yr old stone retaining wall to its original beauty and addressing the drainage issues that had led to significant damage and near collapse. They showed up when they said they would, were thoroughly professional, worked efficiently, and left the site tidy at the end of every day. I look forward to having them back!"

"Fantastic! Dan (of RPD CORP/Archer Contractors) came out to consult with me about my leaky basement and cracked walls. Dan was knowledgeable, and his understanding of drainage and structural problems gave me comfort in knowing that I have the right group for the project. They installed a drainage system to control storm water, graded the land, and repaired my foundation. His crew came out within 1 week, on schedule, and completed my project in 3 days. They were professional, efficient and exercised care. It'��s been a year since the work was completed and the basement is 100% dry."

"Pro Lawn came to my residence once and the job was not completed to my satisfaction, so I called the company and spoke with the owner and he assured me that he would send out more employees to have the problem fixed the way we wanted it to be done. They did come out to redo the job and it was done to our satisfaction."

"Bobby and the Fortress Techs were very professional, considerate, and thorough. The difference we feel from the crawl space insulation from before to after is amazing. Within just a day or two that musty smell in the house that was coming from the crawl space was gone! Bobby kept us informed throughout the entire process and finished the project on time. I would highly recommend Fortress Foundations Solutions to everyone; we were extremely satisfied with the outcome and the high quality customer service we received."
