Great work! Had some bad cracks and settling in my garage and driveway, but Noah and Chad came out and quickly got it squared away. They communicated well, got confirmation in the week and business day leading up to the work, and they were able to knock it out in one go.

"I couldn’t be happier with the service I’ve received for my greenhouse foundation repair. Mike Barnett, the project manager, went above and beyond to provide a solution that was not only cost-effective but also incredibly thoughtful and efficient. His quote came in at $28K less than a competitor’s, and the approach he recommended was rooted in practicality and trust—not greed or overquoting. Having worked with this company before to seal my basement foundation, I already knew the quality of their work is exceptional, which gave me peace of mind. However, Mike’s dedication, honesty, and genuine care for something so personal to me made all the difference. If you’re looking for a company that combines expertise with integrity, I highly recommend them. Thank you, Mike, for turning what could have been a stressful project into a reassuring and positive experience!"

Without mentioning names, the 'other' company's sump system was incorrectly installed, causing sand to fill the bucket and the drain pipes. Not only did the basement flood, it created a bow on that east wall, weakening an existing bow. No response at all from 'them' to my pleas.So I called FSM – immediate response! Greg Q assessed the situation and stood by me as we resolved things, in stages of 3 visits. Sump bucket is now properly installed, drain system improved upon, basement floor trenches and finger drains to respond to hydrostatic pressure, wall anchors installed where needed. Each repair session consisted of a team of no-nonsense, in-sync, yet very approachable and very respectful hard workers. The house was spotless when they left, inside and out. These folks are serious problem solvers. And just like that, this house finally has a no-nonsense, in-sync dry basement and a solid foundation. Thank you FSM – Team Foreman and Team, and the very responsive and supportive Office, and most definitely, Thank you Greg Q.

JR. and his team were very professional and polite. They did our entire basement, went above and beyond helped move stuff that we forgot and covered things to protect from dust. They cleaned up before they left and did great. Definitely recommend him and his team for the job. Great communication and overall job!!!

Phil P. and Jason R. came out to our house and did an excellent job. We purchased our house after the previous owner originally used this company to adjust the flooring and thank goodness they had a transfer of ownership warranty. They adjusted the flooring and completed a thorough inspection. They were very knowledgeable and friendly. Due to negligence of the previous owner, we are having them come out to add a drainage system and sump pump. This was recommended by the company previously and the previous owners ignored the issue. I am looking forward to having this issue resolved and would recommend this company for future endeavors.

John Weidenbach came to my home and provided me with honest information regarding the job assessed. He was professional, timely, friendly and did not try to force a sale of the job.

FSM was outstanding to work with! Ben was super informative, honest with us and we felt confident we made the right decision to schedule with FSM to have our Crawl Space encapsulated. The crew showed up to do the dirty work with so much enthusiasm! A great bunch and they did a fantastic job. You would not even have known they were here aside from the major transformation of the Crawl Space. Not a stitch of mess left behind. We had tons of questions during the estimate with Ben and during the installation and they all were very knowledgeable and happy to help. The change through out our home AMAZING! I wished we would have done it sooner!! THANK YOU FSM!

Overall 5 star experience. Our first impression of FSM started at the consultation with Ryan who was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful. After getting our project on the schedule very quickly, Luis S, Gerson M, and Cam G did a top notch job. From clear communication, to speedy work on site, they did a great job encapsulating our crawl space.
