Richard E., Shawn E., and Sebastian M., were absolutely fantastic. Very professional when speaking to me. They kept me in the loop and with what they were doing each day and what they completed and need to finish up on the later dates. They were fantastic and I would suggest them to anyone I know.

Tim was very thorough and efficient. He was here on time, considerate of my privacy, even offering to help with moving some heavy items back into their original position. He explained what he had done and alerted me to possible changes in the foundation. I am more than satisfied with his demeanor and efforts. Ralland (Ron) Fortier

Ryan came out to do an inspection and was fantastic. He took the time to really listen to my concerns, clearly explained what to look for and walked me through whether there was an issue or not. His recommendations were thoughtful and professional. While I didn’t move forward with any work through FSM, that was strictly due to timing and budget—my initial concern thankfully turned out to be a non-issue. I genuinely recommend FSM to anyone in need. They’re informative, fair, and not pushy at all. Ryan especially stood out for his honesty and professionalism. Definitely worth checking out!

We just completed our basement waterproofing by Groundworks. The work was completed in the two-day period that they estimated. The work was done very professionally by the crew of 5 or so workers. All were very friendly and worked well together as a team. A special thanks to Logan, Darius Anthony and Braxton for their work.
