My experience with Fortress Foundation Solutions was extremely disappointing…read more The project that we sought a solution for was sold to me based on Riley Ethier's, their salesman, confident assessment that my sunken concrete slab was the result of ordinary settling. That assessment mattered: both the HOA and I relied on it when negotiating who would bear the cost of the repair. When Fortress's crew actually began the work, however, their foreman encountered heavily saturated soil beneath the slab and could not complete the repair. He subsequently told me in writing that he was "almost 100% certain" the slab had sunk because reconstruction of the adjacent sidewalk had disturbed and weakened the supporting soil. In other words, Fortress's own field foreman materially contradicted the assessment upon which the contract had been based. What followed was just as troubling. I sent Riley a detailed email explaining what had occurred and asking that the work be stopped pending an internal review and an updates solution. He did not respond or even acknowledge my email. Instead, he called the HOA representative privately and left an informal message asking him to call back. Riley responded to me only after I sent a second email establishing a firm deadline. Fortress ultimately agreed to cancel the contract and refunded my deposit in full, which I appreciate. But the experience left me with no confidence in Riley's assessment or professionalism. My advice to anyone considering Fortress: make sure you understand the qualifications of the person diagnosing your problem (beyond that of a mere salesman with absolutely no qualifications ie. engineering or relevant construction, insist that the diagnosis and proposed solution be put in writing, and make certain the proposed repair addresses the underlying cause rather than merely the visible symptom.

Everything was going smoothly, as I naturally expected, until the very end when I turned on the water back on to admire what a great job I had done, and to my horrific amazement, water was gushing out like nobody's business! So what did I do? I called Peddicord Plumbing and they had an experienced technician, Arvis, at my door in less than 24 hours. In only 1 hour he was done and did an excellent job and now I have regained my reputation as a great husband because I knew enough to call the professionals in instead of trying to fix it myself and making the problem 10 times worse. Husbands if you run into problems, then do yourself a favor and call Peddicord Plumbing. You're welcome.

They identified several pre-existing issues and rectified several concerns we had with the work a previous owner had performed. All good now! The second visit was an emergency call that resulted from another contractor inadvertently damaging our well power line. Jason Long (the owner) and Jeff T. came out first thing this morning and made it all right again. I find people in Frederick to generally be friendly and professional, but these gentlemen represent the best this area has to offer in neighborliness, professionalism and going beyond the norm to set things right. This is a small independent company that is simply excellent in their service and professionalism. Thank you again, we appreciate your commitment!

Great electricians; just make sure the company commits to your timeline up front…read more Luis and Jeff, the two Master electricians on our kitchen renovation, were excellent, professional, personable, and genuinely skilled. Whenever they and their helpers were on site, the work was first-rate, and I'd welcome either of them back without hesitation. My one real reservation is staffing. We gave the company our strict timeline a full six months in advance, but for the first four months the crew was here only sporadically; which delayed our project and pushed our other contractors behind schedule too. The last three weeks they were here almost every day and accomplished a tremendous amount, which honestly just made me wish that commitment had been there from day one. For anyone comparing bids, the rates run a little higher than some but the quality of the work backs it up. If the company dedicates its people to your job from the start, you'll be in great hands. The talent is clearly there, and we're happy with the finished result.
