Cathy came out to check our foundation after our back door had been sticking. She was so friendly and walked me through the whole inspection. Luckily our foundation checked out in good shape and it's just from the long dry spell we've had causing our door to stick. I appreciate the free inspection and the peace of mind knowing our foundation is ok.

From start to finish, these guys were GREAT ! Cathy, Rene & April and the whole crew are just amazing people ! Had received about 8 estimates all over the board. These guys came in about 1/4 of most of the estimates, and completed the job in a timely manner. Very happy customer !!

We are in the process of buying a house and fortress foundation worked with our schedule to make sure we were taken care of during our option period. They didnt find any issues that were concerning as far as the structural integrity at this time. We were looking for someone to look at the foundation due to a rise and fall findings of the foundation. We called Fortress foundation because of their reviews about there customer service being great which is an understatement. We were told in layman's term what could be causing the issues and what we can do to confirm. They also gave solutions to the problems depending on which would be the issue. Thank you for your amazing customer service.

Another foundation claimed there was a problem with the house I am listing with little explanation. Chris Kennard arrived on time, gave us a real education about Civil Engineering specs. He did a full survey and found the house was in full compliance. April in the front office was also wonderful!

These people are top notch! I called 4 Foundation companies and then hire my own structural engineer. He laughed at the estimates I got with all the extra work that wasn't needed from the other companies. He then suggested two other companies, Fortress Foundation was one of them. So after having a total of 6 Foundation companies look at my property Fortress Foundation earned the work hands down.That has been a number of months ago now and I can tell you I'm just as happy with the work they did now as the day they finished.

Wow. Fortress Foundation was the third of three companies that we had to come to our home within the last two days to see if we needed any necessary repairs done. The first two, which weren’t horrible, said that we definitely needed to invest thousands into our home, which is currently only 10 years old. Cathy came out, assessed the situation very thoroughly and gave an honest opinion, stating that she wouldn’t recommend having any work done to it at all. How often does that happen? For the most part, never.... She was extremely nice and professional. I would highly recommend this company.

Of all the people who have fallen through or not shown up, Chris Kennard came when he said he would! He reassured me that he was not here to sell us anything and he explained what he was doing. He was quick and he was kind to our family! I have been disrespected so many many many times before and I almost cried when he left! I will be calling Fortress no matter where I live!

Great customer service! We had noticed a few cracks around our garage area and wanted to know if we had any foundation problems. Found Fortress online and called them because of their reviews. Chris K came out to inspect our house and checked everything. He is polite, very helpful, friendly, and honest. He told us the foundation is within the acceptable standard range and isn't a concern right now. He is very informative and suggested us a few things that can help maintain the foundation. What an honest guy and great company!

We were so impressed with the service provided by Fortress. We called them last minute and they worked hard to get a specialist to our house as soon as possible. We wouldn't hesitate to use them again in the future and will definitely recommend them to friends and family. Thanks again for the great service Fortress!

Affordable company with great people. Mike came out to assess our situation. He is very personable and helped to ease our nerves and explain the processes involved. They came out, worked quickly, and were willing to work with us on the payment. We would recommend them to anyone.

I wasnt sure what to expect, but the Fortress crew showed up exactly when they promised and did a thoroughly professional job. The final engineer's inspection found that the results met or exceeded specifications in all areas of the house. I would definitely recommend Fortress Foundation to others.

Amazing customer service! Cathy has been amazing and the workers were very nice and efficient as well (even in the cold). They kept us informed throughout the entire process. Several other companies wanted to charge an arm and a leg. I highly recommend this company if you are needing your foundation to be leveled.

These guys are the best and are very responsive. They are punctual, polite, and have a strong work ethic. They put the customer first. Their pricing is very competitive. And they helped me navigate a difficult situation with the engineer I hired and went above and beyond In their customer service. I highly recommend their service.

We called Fortress Foundation because we had noticed some cracking in a few spots in our home and braced ourselves for expensive foundation repair. Chris came out and checked everything and let us know that he actually wasn't concerned, but that he could come back out to double check everything in a few months once everything is dry. He could have easily taken advantage of the fact that we were expecting work and he didn't, which is why I will call them again if I ever have concerns in the future.

They told me to get an Engineers report before getting estimates from Foundation companies.I did and was told I didn’t need any foundation repair. Saved me $4300. (Minus the fee for the Engineer). Was so relieved and happy I was told to get the report!

I don’t know why I waited so long to write this review, but better late then Never. In October of 2018 we listed our house for sale. We needed foundation work and had already received several quotes. Then Michael Mercer came into our lives with his awesome personality and honesty about how much work needed to be done, how long it would take and how much it would cost. We were hooked from there. The company took excellent care of us from beginning to end. The office staff was super friendly and kept the communication lines open about the process. Once the work started, I got sooo scared my house would fall apart ( even tho Mike assured me in the past that it wouldn’t) I ran outside and yelled for the workers to stop. The head person in charge of the project ( his name slips my mind) came inside and re assured me that the sounds I was hearing was normal and promised me he would not lift my house no more then what was needed. My house was 30 years old. Once the work was complete, Mike came by and helped us make sure everything was done to standard and it was. There was minimal interior stress to the house. Nothing that could not be fixed quickly so we could get the house sold and the completed work was fantastic. I would highly recommend Fortress for any foundational repair. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Hayden and his team are extremely responsive, timely, and honest in the work they do. The company also 100% honors its warranty. The pier and beam foundation on my home was repaired by Fortress prior to me purchasing it in 2015 and the warranty transferred over to me at the time of sale. Some of the steel piers later needed to be re-pressurized and Fortress quickly came out and fixed the issue under the terms of the warranty. This company is honest and acts with integrity, which is so hard to find nowadays when working with a contractor. I would highly recommend Fortress to anyone considering residential foundation repair.

I had no idea the process or how to repair foundation issues - I went online and found Fortress based on the reviews. Very glad I did. They walked me through everything I needed to do - and what they were going to do. Helped me along every step of the way. Always answered any questions I had and treated my home with respect as they did their work. Highly recommend them! Fingers crossed I never have to deal with foundation issues again, but if I did I will go back to Fortress.

From day one April picked up the phone very courteously and she sent Michael to inspect our house. Michael has been very helpful and honest to work with. The repairing crew members were professional and working hard to complete the work efficiently. Overall, we had a very good experience to work with Fortress Foundation Repair Services and we are very impressed with their service.

This is THE company for comprehensive foundation repair. The value they provide is not only in workmanship, but also in educating you the homeowner on the problem, the solution, and the ongoing maintenance. They truly set our house up for long-lasting, fully-warranted success. Foundation - repaired. Drain - installed and operational. FULLY WARRANTED. Many "foundation companies" will set home owners up for instant failure by failing to disclose so much key information like the importance of both an actual structural engineering report from an engineer PRIOR to repair and a static plumbing test PRIOR to repair. Fortress is more than just a foundation company. They are the gold standard for comprehensive foundation remediation and their name is exactly what they will make your home.

I would recommend fortress foundation to everyone! We were dreading having to get the foundation repaired. You sometimes hear horror stories. Well not with this company. They were prompt, honest, did what they said they would do, and were reasonably priced. Our foundation is now perfect. The customer service is top notch!! I would definitely make the same choice again if needed.

I can't say enough Amazing things about Cathy with Fortess Foundation, she is a guardian angel. I had already been taken advantage of by a previous foundation and remodel company and was at a loss cause I still couldn't live in my house. Cathy came out the day after I called, walked me through everything, had me laying on the ground looking under the house and explaining what I was seeing and what would need to be done. She not only listened to my horror story but reassured me that We could fix it. The crew that did the work was great, I stopped by and the site manager talked through status with me and what was being done. When the work was finished Cathy still went out of her way to help my find reliable trustworthy contractors to finish the remodel work I still need done to be able to move in. I cannot say enough or sing the praises of Cathy and Fortess Foundation they are more than just a business but Amazing human beings.

The crew from Fortress Foundation did a great job repairing and lifting my pier and beam foundation. They replaced 8 piers and a support beam the length of my home in two and a half days. Their costs were competitive, the communication with everyone involved was impeccable, and they left my property looking better than it did before they arrived. Very pleased working with FF and would look to them for any other foundation needs if I switch homes in the future.

Best foundation company I've ever used! It was also my first choice after interviewing four other companies to repair my foundation problems after noticing a crack in the floor running from one end of my house to the other. Michael came out to assess our situation and spent all the time we needed explaining the root of our problem and options for repair. We chose Fortress based on their excellent Better Business Bureau rating and Michael's professionalism, understanding of our needs, reviews from past customers and his honesty. The repair team arrived promptly on the scheduled day and worked diligently until the job was complete. Michael showed up with the team to explain the process, again, and answer any questions we had. Some of the cracks we had noticed even closed up after Fortress fixed my foundation. Michael has since followed up to make sure everything is OK and we are satisfied with their service. Couldn't be happier!

My clients rely on excellent referrals for every aspect of their home beginning with the foundation. There is NO company out there like these guys and I proudly recommend Fortress. They are honest, do excellent work and my clients love them! I do too!! They did a great job on my home. Hands down, good people - extraordinary company.

They were so helpful when we were having settling issues. We had been told by 3 different companies that we needed our foundation ripped up & peers put in. We were told about Fortress by a neighbor and decided to call them. They brought two different engineers out and checked our house with a fine tooth comb. They told us we did not have foundation damage, but drainage issues. They worked with us and our insurance company, added French drains & gutters! Done! Saved us a lot of headaches and $.

Extremely impressed with Fortress Foundation. We needed piers for an addition that was sinking. I called and Hayden was out the same day for an inspection. His crew was out 3 days later. They did excellent work, finished the same day, and cleaned up all the mess. Great company, competitive pricing. Would definitely recommend to others.

Fortress foundation was a great company. They did inside & outside piers at our home. They cleaned up after themselves and worked in a very timely manner. The men that came to the house were all very nice & respectful. The process itself is not fun but they try to help you feel as comfortable as possible. Our house is perfectly level again. Feels good not to worry anymore.The were also reasonably priced! Thanks fortress!

We knew we needed foundation work, but we were so nervous because we knew nothing about it. So many companies want to take advantage of you and just "sell" you. Cathy was a true gem. Treated me like family from the get go. She answered all of my questions and took care of everything. The work was done professionally and they were kind and explained everything they were doing. We are so pleased with the end result and thankful we didnt go with anyone else. Thank you for going above and beyond and making this process as painless as possible!

Michael from fortress foundation from the beginning made me feel very comfortable, informed me of various pier types and thoroghly examined the house for elevation on his own even though I had engineers report. He was very responsive to my texts and phone calls. Which was a welcome change from another foundation company that was very hard to get ahold of. I am satisfied with the work Fortress has done on my house , they even filled up most of the cracks in the brick all around my house as a bonus from their work. I recommend them for your foundation work. The structural engineer after checking the house for new numbers said they did a good job. So I am satisfied customer.

18:52 03 Oct 18
Mike is a great guy. I had 2 other foundation repairmen come out to inspect my foundation. Of the 3 inspections 2 repairmen said I didn’t need pilings. Mike was one of those that said I didn’t need any repairs or pilings. He said as long as I watered my my foundation I shouldn’t have any trouble. He said the expansion gap for the brick, in time, might close up. But every where he measured, my foundation was not more than a half inch off. That is the same as one of the other repairmen said also. Mike did recommend rain gutters. I will be looking into that very soon. I think Mike is a great guy!! Thank you,Bryan W

After receiving a recommendation from a trusted friend, I contacted Cathy at Fortress Foundation. She was helpful, respectful, and informative about the current condition of my foundation. She examined the house and addressed my concerns. She showed me some areas to continue monitoring and informed that at present there is nothing wrong with the foundation. Thankful to have been provided with this recommendation.

Michael came out and checked the deflection on our foundation to confirm that it needed to be serviced. His communication was excellent and we found that we probably needed to add some piers. Michael explained the process and recommended some structural engineering firms that would provide a 3rd party report of the work needed on the foundation. Instead of using in-house engineers Fortress uses the 3rd party engineers so that you as a homeowner know for sure that you are not being sold solutions you don't need. Michael worked with me to schedule the required repairs as outlined by the engineer and explained what would take place. The repairs were completed on time and to a very high standard. I am extremely happy with the foundation work provided by Fortress and it was a pleasure to work with them. I would definitely recommend them to everyone!

Professional, prompt, and practical are the best was I can describe my family's experience in dealing with Fortress Foundation Repair Systems. They quickly formulated a reasonably priced and high quality solution to our foundation problems that were plaguing an interior tiling job. The staff was respectful, knowledgable, and helpful in not only completing the job, but doing so in a way that allowed us to remain in our home instead of having to book a hotel. If you are in need of foundation work, have confidence in choosing Fortress.

This company did a great job fixing our foundation issues. They were quick to address any concerns we had and walked us through the entire process from evaluating our property, to fixing the issues at hand, then following up with a post evaluation. Micheal was spot on with his initial evaluation of our property, which was confirmed from our structural engineering report. The foundation work was completed in one day and post evaluation completed the next day. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone needing foundation work. They were friendly, professional and honest about what needed to be done, with fair pricing. I will also say their employee Micheal went above and beyond to ensure we were happy with the work completed.

My Husband and I put off having work done because we really didn’t want to deal with the hassle. When push came to shove, the work was long overdue. We were lucky enough to call Hayden at Fortress and he made it easy and understandable. I really thank him for how he made it work for us. Definitely above and beyond. Thank you Hayden and the team at Fortress.

AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME!Michael came out and assessed my home, showed me how to look for problems and alleviated my fears of having a problem-I don't have. He could've taken me to the cleaners and I wouldn't have known. However, he just gave me some tips on how to help prevent a problem in yhe future!VERY honest and forthright! I am so happy I called Fortress!

I can’t say enough good things about this company and they work they did on my home. Colton led the charge and was a consummate professional from beginning to end. I even had him come check the foundation on the home we were purchasing. No pressure whatsoever and super friendly. I highly recommend Colton and the rest of the team at Fortress.

Fortress was easy to work with, has competitive pricing and great communication. They show up when they say they will and work hard. I’m honestly shocked at how easy this process was and wouldn’t hesitate to use their services again. A special thank you to Colton, he always kept me updated so I knew exactly what was going on and was friendly and professional. I really think companies tend to undervalue client communication which leads to frustrated clients and misunderstandings.

Great service, they are competitive in pricing and don’t overcharge. I recommend using a engineer for pier placement, this saved us money as competing bids wanted to place more piers than were necessary for structural stability. Service was courteous and prompt, without a sales job. We obtained 3 bids, fortress won on merit.

Fortress Foundation helped me do the repairs to my home earlier this year. My home required both interior and exterior piers and Fortress did an excellent job for both. The interior pier installation required going through the floor and foundation. Fortress made sure not to do any extra damage than what was required. I'm happy with their work and would recommend.

From the first contact through the finished job we were very happy with the communication and the work done. The crew was hardworking. The supervisor kept us informed of the work and any changes they needed to make or challenges they had. Michael, the Field Specialist, who estimated the job, was very accessible making sure things were going well and following up with us after the job was finished. We even met the owner when he came on site to help trouble shoot a challenge. I was concerned about the digging that had to take place inside my house but the crew did a great job in keeping things clean and cleaned up nicely when it was finished.

I can’t say enough about Fortress Foundation Systems. This company and their employees are what sets folks apart in their respective industry. Colton O’Neill came out and got here exactly when he was supposed to(I’m big on being on time). I’m big on the little things too, so I’ll go over those first. 1. He introduced himself in a very professional and friendly manner. 2. He told me exactly what he was going to do and what he needed from us. 3. He was kind and willing to explain what happens to foundations. 4. He explained the process of what it will take to repair our issue. 5. Nothing major was wrong, but he let us know it might be smart to check in due to one area being slightly lower than the rest of the house. I am very pleased with the manner and respect I was treated with. Colton was a gentlemen and treated us as if we were family. You don’t get that with many other companies, trust me, I am a manager and deal with 100s of people on a daily basis. Fortress Foundation Systems set themselves apart because they understand what the consumer wants/needs! If you ever need your foundation inspected, you won’t go wrong with the exceptional service these folks provide!!!

Crooked house improvements. Excellent company; Fortress Foundation is professional from the top down. Respect and courtesy is channeled to the customer. All answers were satisfied for my ignorant foundation brain. Very happy with this company's operation and employees who give a hoot about their service and customer base. A special shout out to Jeremy and Michael, for going above and beyond in attention to detail that was not expected but, extremely appreciated. They are knowledgeable in skilled trades which carry over into the many aspects of home fixin' uppers! The front door is usable again, WOW! And interior doors do what they are supposed to do again. Thanks again Fortress Foundation.

As a Realtor, I have worked with many foundation companies. Fortress is by far one of the best. My contact person was Brittany Barnett. I have never worked with someone so professional.

We appreciated the attentiveness from Trey, Colton, and Victor. Colton was on site from start to finish and was able to address some of our concerns with the main support beam running directly under our house. They ended up saving us $1200.00 by resetting the piers and removing the stress placed on the main beam. We are very pleased with the work they did and will recommend them to others. Drew Baxter

We had Fortress do a check on our foundation to determine what work needed to be done. Michael Mercer was a pleasure to work with. He gave us an honest opinion and suggestion about seeking out an engineers advice before deciding to do any work. I greatly respect and appreciated his integrity.

As a Realtor, having someone to recommend my clients call and knowing they will be taken care of, is paramount. This company has taken care of my clients with the same level of service I deliver. I am proud to say they will be taking care of my foundation soon. They are the only ones I trust. Plus, the warranty STAYS WITH THE HOUSE! Brilliant!

Fortress Foundation Systems was the right company for us! I was extremely busy with work and my own house, however my Dad's house was in need of foundation repair. I spoke with Cathy, showed her the engineer's report, and outlined my desires. She did the rest! She scheduled all the work, followed up with me about progress, and was even able to start a week earlier than expected! The repair crew was prompt, efficient and very courteous. Cathy made the whole thing so easy. I don't think the project would have been completed had it not been for her. She really went the extra mile to see this project through to completion. This company came highly recommended to me. Now I see why! Not only do they deliver quality services, they are a pleasure to work with and care about the people involved in addition to the work they take care of.

My experience with all of the people at Fortress was very positive. From the owners to the Crew Supervisor, Jeremy and the Crew Chief, Andreas, and the other crew, everyone was helpful, courteous and professional. The company was identified by the engineer who originally did my assessment. He gave me 2-3 company names he thought were reliable in DFW. I eventually chose Fortress. They are not the cheapest bid I had, but mid-range. More importantly, they told me what they would do, when and they did it on schedule for the price agreed. You expect that, but seldom encounter it. They met and exceeded my expectations. This is both art and science. With a 50 year old house and Dallas dirt, you cannot predict absolute success. However, these are honest, hard working people who earn their money with trrust and honest dealing. I couldn't ask for more. It takes 4-6 weeks for all the settling to occur and see what the results are. I'm 2 weeks into waiting. But I am satified now that if I do ever have an issue, these folks will address it with the same integrity they displayed thoughout my experience with them so far.

Can't say enough good things about this company. Michael showed up today and after thorough investigation about my concerns, he left without selling me anything - only advice for how to solve problem by installing gutters (which they do not sell). Grateful for a company with this much integrity.

Best foundation company I have found to date. They did foundation work couple of years ago and they did an amazing job. Recently my house needed more foundation work and I used them again - they never disappoint. Cathy is always there to answer any questions that I may have and always there to help. They go above and beyond to make sure you are satisfied with the work that's completed. Customer Service is top notch! Highly Recommended!!!!

Top foundation repair and drain/irrigation company in Dallas. In an industry filled with bad people these guys are one of the few good companies. They are honest, hard working, and do exactly what they say they are going to do. There is no BS when working with these guys. The quality of their work and quality of materials they use are top notch. Other companies will buy the cheapest materials and equipment possible to make higher margins. These guys do not do that and IMO are completely honest and ethical. The owner Hayden is one of the best people I have ever worked with on a project on any of my homes. He is truthful, punctual, gets the job done quickly and accurately the first time and is not overly expensive by comparison to some of the guys in the industry. He also knows his stuff which is why he comes highly recommended by some of the top structural engineers in DFW. He is easy to talk to and doesn’t BS you at all or try to upsell you on anything that your house doesn’t need. He even suggested we do less on my project to save me some $ because he didn’t think what I wanted to do was completely necessary. Very few people have the morals and ethical standards he does.Additionally his crew is thorough and pays extremely close attention to details related to whatever project they are working on.In and industry full of scumbags (for lack of a better word) similar to the roofing industry, Fortress Foundation sets themselves a part and their customer service and work is unmatched. If I ever have another foundation or French drain issue these are the guys I will use. Can’t rate these guys high enough.

Great company that stands behind the warranty and repairs slab and pier and beam home.

I noticed some settling in my home and was very concerned. Other companies wanted thousands of dollars to correct the issue. I was ready to pay then decided to call Michael and am very happy I did! He came out and we had a very long discussion. He communicated clearly that this was normal and I only needed to water my foundation. He helped me understand what was happening with my foundation and it was not necessary for repair. Needless to say I saved a lot of money. And I'm very grateful.

Honesty and integrity are hard to come by in the foundation industry and Hayden Nichols has proven that this is the rock that his business stands on. I am in Real Estate and have worked with other foundation companies and I can personally say that anyone who has the opportunity to work with Fortress Foundation will be taken care of down to the very last detail. Highly recommend you get a quote from them if you are experiencing any foundation issues!

They should be mindful of their employees actions on social media when acting as a representative of their company. The customer service exec. Made a very distatesful comment about the #LasVegas tragedy, suggested it was Jason Aldeans music that was responsible, and apparently thought this was funny. Even after it being called out as insensitive and callous she responded "chill out" instead of removing it.

Best foundation company one could ever hope for! After having a few companies come out to check the foundation at my commercial property and trying to scare me into having to spend $10,000-12,000 to fix my foundation or my building would cave in on itself, I was referred to Fortress Foundation Systems. I was extremely skeptical after dealing with the previous companies that I felt were just trying to make a $12,000 sale. Dan and Hayden with Fortress came out, thoroughly assessed our property, and told me that the foundation repairs weren't necessary (pier & beam) and recommended that we get a 3rd party engineer to provide a report to have for our records. They were punctual, professional, and very helpful. They went over & beyond to help me for zero dollars in return. I strongly feel that they do everything they can to truly help people out, regardless if they make a sale or not. I will use them for any future foundation work for our homes and businesses and refer them to everyone we know. If you want a foundation repair assessment from a company that is 100% honest & has your best interest in mind Fortress Foundation Systems is your company. You can’t put a price on peace of mind, but if you did, Fortress would be your cheapest option.

Quite possibly the smoothest and least painful experience we have ever had dealing with a foundation company. The owners were very professional and informed us of where other companies had "over bid" our situation and planned on doing unnecessary work which ended up SAVING US THOUSANDS! I cannot express how truly thankful we were to come upon Dan Toth in our time of foundation crisis. They have earned a life long referral and customer (although we probably won't need work done again for many years to come). If there was an option for a 6th star they would get it!

I had such a wonderful experience with Fortress from start to finish. Cathy one of the owners worked with me for weeks during the bidding process. I was a recent tornado resident in Rowlett, Tx and I was very skeptical about another large repair cost and who I could trust as far as contractor's to handle such a repair after my house had just been put back together. Cathy was extremely patient, helpful and knowledgeable when it came to foundation repair and what to expect. Once the bid was locked they were flexible when it came to choosing a schedule date for service that was convenient for me. During the 3 day repair process a supervisor was onsite every day and kept me in the loop on what was going to taking place. I have 4 dogs and they were working in backyard part of the house all 3 days. They took extra time in helping me assist my dogs to have their daily backyard break, the guys were just as concerned about their well being as I was. They did a fantastic job from start to finish and I would recommend them to anyone needing this kind of repair. I couldn't have asked for more in a company. Their professionalism shined from the customer service side all they way through to the field work. Thanks Fortress for all that you do for your customer's.

After finally taking steps to have the foundation repaired on my 50 year old home, I reached out to Fortress Foundations. I could not be happier with their team! They work in line with Highland Engineering to assure you receive the proper analysis on your home. Cathy and Chip of FFS are pleasant and very knowledgeable in many areas of home repair. They have helped me make decisions which will keep me pleased with my home long after their work is complete. Matt and Patrick, the engineers Cathy sent to my home, were very professional. I feel comfortable that I am getting exactly what my home needs. If you prefer to be seen as a person and not a pocket book I highly recommend Fortress Foundation Systems.

After obtaining multiple quotes and asking hundreds of questions, I decided to hire Fortress Foundation to level my home. Company A said I had a drainage issue, Company B quoted two times the needed piers. Fortress informed me that my foundation issues weren't severe and suggested that I hire an independent Structural Engineer to inspect the foundation. They will repair it based on the SE's recommendations. Within a week of the report, Fortress was hired and repaired my foundation. They are a really good and easy company to deal with. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs foundation repair.

Fortress Foundation Systems did an excellent job leveling my 2 story home that was about to fall apart (needed 25 piers). Dan and Dan; along with Cathy Jo, took the time to explain and address all my concerns. Not only did they correct my foundation but also installed a French drains system to prevent future issues, and did so all within a reasonable time and price. They were professional and willing to go the extra mile to make sure that every problem was addressed.

Last December, I bought a home that Fortress had done foundation work on and was told there was a transferable warranty. One corner of the house started to sink this summer. I called them, told them of the issue and to be honest, I was skeptical that it would be taken care of. I was wrong. Dan called me and set up an appointment to see what the issue was. While his crew couldn't get to me right away because of all the rain this summer, he stayed in touch, letting me know what was happening and got to me as soon as possible. Very satisfied with his communication and work. Job well done!

We were introduced to Fortress Foundations through a good friend for a second opinion on our foundation. The previous company we had out told us that we needed $4000 worth of work done to make our foundation right again. So we called Dan and Cathy Jo to give us a second opinion. We are so thankful we did. They came out on a Sunday(amazing!) and told us that there was ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG with our foundation. It's hard to know who to trust your home repairs to, but we're so thankful that we found the honest and trustworthy folks at Fortress!

Our home was considered totaled due to a tornado, however our foundation was not considered part of the total loss. We had an engineer evaluate it and he said it just needed some minor leveling done before we started rebuilding. Since we had just had the foundation fixed 3 years ago, so we contracted that company to come out and level their piers. After much debate they came out and did an estimate but wanted close to $14,000 to level it using the existing piers. This was how much we originally paid and were devastated that it was going to cost so much again. So we call Fortress for another opinion and estimate. I am so thankful that we contact them. Dan found a company to donate the needed Steel piers and they provided the labor and equipment to install. Now we can finally start to rebuild our home knowing that we have a secure foundation to build on. Dan and Cathy are truly a great people to work with, so call them before you call anyone else. Thanks again for all you have done for my family.

I called to have someone come out to look at part of our foundation that was crumbling. This was a 2 year old house. Dan, I may have the name wrong. Came out for a free estimate. He walked around the house. Told me the basics about foundations and what to look for in the future. It turned out to be cosmetic and told me I could save some money by getting a little concrete myself. I was very happy he didn't pressure me into anything and was very informative. Had I known they also do drainage I would have called them before using a landscaper. I will be using them in the future, I wish I wouldln't have to but I'm sure I will and Fortress Foundation will be my first call.

As a real estate broker it's imperative that I have a company that I can trust when it comes to foundations. I met Dan and Cathy 8 years ago and in that time have sent them dozens of referrals. I truly value their opinion when it comes to giving my clients honest and accurate information when it comes to their homes. More cases than not they've said the house doesn't need work and can show why the movement is normal settling. Having said that when they have had concerns their next step is to always have a structural engineer come out to create an official report. This is huge as many foundation companies will give quotes based on their opinions and in most cases they are not qualified to do so. The great part about Fortress is you get an evaluation and if the concern is there you know it's real. In the cases where work was needed they've always been professional, honest, prompt in communication, and received high remarks from my clients. This is huge as when I refer a vendor I want the absolute best for my people. If you're in need of foundation work or simply have concerns I would highly recommend Fortress!

I would highly recommend Fortress to anyone needing serious foundation repairs. Their attention to detail was exemplary. The foreman was a perfectionist and would not call the job finished until satisfied with getting the house back to an exact level condition. We contacted several local foundation companies for estimates. Fortress was by far the most professional and most reasonable given the amount of work required.

Dan and Kathy were great. The foundation inspection was delayed due to a prior appointment before mine, but I was kept in the loop and well informed. When Dan came out to the house, he was not rushed even though it was late in the day. He afforded my husband and I all the time we needed to feel comfortable with the information he was giving us and ask questions. He explained normal shifting, water/management, and what concerning foundation issues would look like. In the end, he recommended some minor fixes to help drain rainwater away from the house in a particular area. He didn't find anything that required major fixing at this time and said to keep his information. The plan is to monitor the home over the next several months and he instructed us to call in the summer for re-evaluation. This is the "monitoring phase." I showed him an image by a structural engineer who inspected the house when we made the purchase and they also had not recommended any major adjustments (only found minor shifting). He explained that sometimes putting work into foundation with minimal needs can cause greater damage and that making changes to drainage and maintenance can be a better option. He offered services for trenching, but also gave us some ideas of how this can be done ourselves to save money. He was genuine and explained that they pride themselves on service quality and honesty (this is so hard to find in today's world!). I wasn't pressured to make any difficult decisions or dole out $$ for unnecessary service. I would absolutely recommend Fortress Foundation. Way to go guys! Keep your business values, they will bring you to the top of the industry. Thanks for everything!-Stephanie and Victor Perez

My house needed serious foundation repairs, or so EVERYONE told me. We had numerous foundation companies come out and give us estimates. Some said the house would need so much foundation work. The first company quoted me $12,800, the second company quoted me $16,500, another company quoted me $14,000. I was freaking out, wondering where I was going to get all this money, and how I was going to fix my house. We called Fortress Foundation and they came out and gave an estimate. They said my house wasn't that bad at all and it only needed to be raised 3 inches on one side of the house. They gave me a quote less than $4,000. I was so happy I was in tears. When I couldn't get financed, they helped me with other options, and stuck by me. They came out, their employees were friendly. They did an outstanding job, and did so in a timely manner. Fortress Foundation saved me!!! I have recommended them to several people and will continue to send anyone in know to them. They are honest people, truly here to help!! Thank you so much Fortress Foundation. I am so thankful for you guys! Sincerely, Sabrina

We were in need of a trusted foundation repair company to come out to a home we were considering purchasing. I called and received excellent service over the phone and they were able to schedule to come out the following day to take a look. Thankfully, we aren't in need of any work at the house. But now that I've got a connection, if I ever DO need work done, I will call Fortress. Responsiveness is important and this company performed perfectly. Thank you for doing what you said you would do! That's integrity!

we are in the market for our first home. we are on a budget so finding something in the area we want that is livable has been a challenge. at our age there is a lot to know and a lot to learn about homebuying. we finally found a house we liked and it was way under our budgeted price. our inspector came out and in his report he told us it had substantial foundation damage. I was heartbroken!!! I called several foundation repair companies to get estimates and they ranged from $4700 to $15000. I knew we couldn't afford that. I was telling a co worker about my plight and she suggested we call the company they used to repair their home. she said she was blown away at how honest they were and how easy the job went. I got the number for fortress foundation systems and called their office. I spoke to cathy and told her what was going on... the first thing she did was tell me to take a deep breath and not panic. the second thing? we're any of the people that came out structural engineers??? I had no idea what she was talking about so she took the time to explain what that was and why one was so important. I was literally shocked. finally a glimmer of hope, I had not had any the last few days. we schedule a time for dan to come out and look at the house and see what he thought. Upon his visit, he says, yes! there is definitely a problem but that for a home that is 70 years old it is really good shape. he discusses with me where he thinks the potential issues may be and suggests I call an engineer to get a full report. he said not only will we need it to repair the home but for a work permit for our city as well as to close on our loan because our specific type will require one. NONE of the other companies mentioned any of this information. I called an engineer off the list dan gave me and he got out the next day. when I received the report, panic set in again. 16 piers??? I sent it to their office and within 2 hours I had an estimate back and literally cried when I saw the price. I was so excited!! once the work started, the foreman jake came to me to let me know he spoke with the engineer and not all of the piers would be needed because they found old piers from previous work and they could adjust them!! I saved an additional $1125. the outside of our home and the flower beds looked like no one had ever be there. the honesty and integrity this company showed was exemplary. my flower beds were mulched when they were done!! the clean up was impeccable! without a doubt if you are in need of foundation repair, call fortress!!! you will not be disappointed!

Fortress Foundation Systems just completed another repair for us.We have been using FFS for two years. Dan and Cathy are awesome and treat you like family. Dan was on site to make sure all repairs and clean up are made quickly and completely. I would 100% recommend this company!!! Dan is very honest. I had three buildings looked at and he suggest repairs for only one and to watch the other two. There are so many companies that would have said lets repair all three buildings just to make a buck!! Thanks Dan for being one of the good guys!

When we were looking for a new home we found several we were interested in but were concerned there may be possible foundation issues on two of the properties. I contacted Fortress Foundation Systems and spoke with Cathy who was most helpful and gave me plenty of useful information before even scheduling our appointment. We had Dan meet us at one property the following day and before even going inside he told us to run! We went to the second property and upon inspection he said that this one needed some tweaking but didn't look major. He recommended we contact a structural engineer to get a specific repair plan and to ensure that nothing was missed. This way we have official documents to present to the sellers. We followed his recommendation and found out that the work was minimal and when approaching the seller they were agreeable to the repairs. Thank you both for not only taking the time to visit with us and check out these homes but to educate us in the proper way to go about foundation repair. You are right! Education is key!

The VERY BEST experience I've had with a foundation company. Dan & Cathy and the entire crew were absolutely fabulous, and I couldn't be happier with the work they did to our home. When we first bought the house the seller hired another company to do some foundation work and they were sloppy and did a poor job on the installation of the piers. This was the first house we've ever had with foundation issues so we weren't knowledgeable enough to know what questions to ask & how the work should look like.Fortress came in & walked us through the entire process, of what we could expect from them, and encouraged any questions we might have on how the work was done. Cathy was always very easy to get a hold of with any questions we had, even when it wasn't so easy to get a hold of me due to work. Haha! Even after the work was completed, they did a final walk through and made sure everything turned out to our liking & done properly. My wife & I really felt like they were looking out for our best interests and that they wanted to get the house right after the previous company's mistakes. I strongly recommend Fortress Foundation Repair Systems for any foundation work you may have, they were great & I can't say enough positive things about the way they do business.

I can't comment on the quality of the work, but I was very satisfied with the free evaluation that I got. I noticed some cracks developing in our ceiling, which caused me some concern. Dan gave me his honest assessment - no work would be necessary. He seemed very honest. If I have any trouble in the future, I'll definitely call Fortress first.

Based on a recommendation from a home repair man we trust, Dan with Fortress Foundations came by to look at our cracks in our home which is now ten years old. He walked our property and found no structural problems. He told me if he had found any major problems he would have suggested our hiring an independent structural engineer. This from a man that sells foundation repair! So all we need is a painter to repair the few monir cracks in our ceiling and we're golden.THANKS, DAN, FOR BEING AN HONEST GUY! I HIGHLY SUGGEST DAN AND THE COMPANY!

Integrity! Dan inspected a home I just purchased which showed signs of previous foundation repair. With cracks still showing, he could have suggested additional work and I would have not known any better. Not only did he inform me that I required no additional work, he walked the property and instructed me on ways to prevent further foundation issues. Integrity!

We had some movement in our foundation and the doors were beginning to stick more in our house. Our problems were not a huge problem but more like an occasional nuisance that we didn't want to get worse. Called Dan out and he gave us a quote to put in approximately 32 piers on the perimeter of our house to correct and lift the house in appropriate places and at an acceptable price especially when compared to other companies. Dan and his crews showed up early on a morning and spent about a day and a half doing the required work. The work had been defined by a certified engineer and Dan's actual work exceeded the prescribed work by the engineer. Since then we have had no noticeable problems in the foundation. This work was done in the summer of 2012. So, we've been really happy with the work Fortress did. After the work was completed the engineer inspected the work about two months later to see that is was done within specs and we passed with flying colors. One of the best companies/contractors I've ever worked with. The office staff is also very courteous and helpful whenever anything (documentation, warranties, etc) is needed to support our repair transaction. Don't think we could have had a better experience with any other company in the metroplex.

Dan and Cathy are professional and great to work with. Fortress Foundation checked the foundation on a home my buyer was considering. I'm glad that we did! That home had issues that my buyer did not want to have to handle. Thanks Fortress for giving us information that enabled my buyer to make a more informed decision!

we purchased our home in the summer of 2013. it is an older pier and beam that had previous work done on it and we were not given the paperwork in order to contact the company to have them come out under warranty. we found fortress foundation systems on the Internet and did some research and found their feedback to be outstanding! I called their office and was greeted by cathy who was so pleasant and helpful! she accommodated our hectic schedule and gave us an appointment for a weekend slot. dan came out on a Sunday afternoon and took his time and answered all of our questions and assured us we would not. go broke. he also informed us about the required city permit and the importance of using a third party engineer. the. other two companies assured us they would take care of the engineers report that we didnt need to worry about us. this is my first home, I am 25 years old, I am learning as I go but I want to learn this the right way. dan was patient and wanted us to beware of the pitfalls of homeownership. he told us to call him with any questions even if we chose not to use his company- use him as a resource. fast forward 6 months, we finally had saved enough money for the engineers report! we get the report back and I sent it to cathy at fortress, 2 days later I get an estimate back which was about 2/3s less than we were expecting... we scheduled the work for the following week, the crew arrives on time, I was walked through the process of exactly what would be taking place, they worked quickly and efficiently. they worked very well with each other, joking and helping each other. as the job was wrapping up that day the foreman walked me around my house and showed me what had been done and was everything taken care of to my satisfaction. my flowerbeds had been mulched!! such a wonderful experience. they all went above and beyond! I was also treated like an actual adult, not a 25 year old kid. I appreciated the respect. you guys rock! thank you!

Fortress Foundation is a great company. I've worked with them for years and they do wonderful work. I'm a Realtor and refer clients to them with no hesitation whatsoever! My clients are always happy with their work and thank me for referring them. They are honest and upfront. They've inspected homes that the owners (myself included on my own home) suspected problems and Dan has told them they didn't need any repairs. They do great work at very reasonable prices and stand behind it!

Owning a home is one of the coolest, but most stressful things I have ever done.As a first time home owner, meticulously picking out every little fabric swatch and trinket to make my home perfect was such an exciting (albeit expensive!) task that I loved every minute of.Seeing my beautifully painted wall cracked all the way from the ceiling down the side of the door. I thought picking out accessories was expensive. Ha! The stories I was reading online about foundation repair were terrifying!After much deliberation, I got in touch with Fortress. There are a few other huge companies in our area but I usually always try to go with a local business as the experience is more tailored and one that is easier for me to handle. I was not wrong.From my first contact with Cathy to the job management done by Dan, I could not have asked for a better company or solution to what I felt was a scary situation.They made me feel comfortable from start to finish, their estimate was lower than the other two that I got and I felt like they truly had my best interest at heart.I run a business as well so I believe that I truly understand what customer service is because I do my best to offer the most top notch experiences to my clients and I believe that Fortress Foundation Repair really met and exceeded my already high expectations.

This is the most dedicated and responsive team of all the foundation repair companies I talked with. Fortress answered all my questions and after several meetings and talking with other foundation companies I trust these guys completely. They were also slightly less expensive. I would recommend them completely and all the reviews on Angies list back that up!

Cathy came out to check our foundation after our back door had been sticking. She was so friendly and walked me through the whole inspection. Luckily our foundation checked out in good shape and it's just from the long dry spell we've had causing our door to stick. I appreciate the free inspection and the peace of mind knowing our foundation is ok.

From start to finish, these guys were GREAT ! Cathy, Rene & April and the whole crew are just amazing people ! Had received about 8 estimates all over the board. These guys came in about 1/4 of most of the estimates, and completed the job in a timely manner. Very happy customer !!

We are in the process of buying a house and fortress foundation worked with our schedule to make sure we were taken care of during our option period. They didnt find any issues that were concerning as far as the structural integrity at this time. We were looking for someone to look at the foundation due to a rise and fall findings of the foundation. We called Fortress foundation because of their reviews about there customer service being great which is an understatement. We were told in layman's term what could be causing the issues and what we can do to confirm. They also gave solutions to the problems depending on which would be the issue. Thank you for your amazing customer service.

Another foundation claimed there was a problem with the house I am listing with little explanation. Chris Kennard arrived on time, gave us a real education about Civil Engineering specs. He did a full survey and found the house was in full compliance. April in the front office was also wonderful!

These people are top notch! I called 4 Foundation companies and then hire my own structural engineer. He laughed at the estimates I got with all the extra work that wasn't needed from the other companies. He then suggested two other companies, Fortress Foundation was one of them. So after having a total of 6 Foundation companies look at my property Fortress Foundation earned the work hands down.That has been a number of months ago now and I can tell you I'm just as happy with the work they did now as the day they finished.

Wow. Fortress Foundation was the third of three companies that we had to come to our home within the last two days to see if we needed any necessary repairs done. The first two, which weren’t horrible, said that we definitely needed to invest thousands into our home, which is currently only 10 years old. Cathy came out, assessed the situation very thoroughly and gave an honest opinion, stating that she wouldn’t recommend having any work done to it at all. How often does that happen? For the most part, never.... She was extremely nice and professional. I would highly recommend this company.

Of all the people who have fallen through or not shown up, Chris Kennard came when he said he would! He reassured me that he was not here to sell us anything and he explained what he was doing. He was quick and he was kind to our family! I have been disrespected so many many many times before and I almost cried when he left! I will be calling Fortress no matter where I live!

Great customer service! We had noticed a few cracks around our garage area and wanted to know if we had any foundation problems. Found Fortress online and called them because of their reviews. Chris K came out to inspect our house and checked everything. He is polite, very helpful, friendly, and honest. He told us the foundation is within the acceptable standard range and isn't a concern right now. He is very informative and suggested us a few things that can help maintain the foundation. What an honest guy and great company!

We called Fortress Foundation because we had noticed some cracking in a few spots in our home and braced ourselves for expensive foundation repair. Chris came out and checked everything and let us know that he actually wasn't concerned, but that he could come back out to double check everything in a few months once everything is dry. He could have easily taken advantage of the fact that we were expecting work and he didn't, which is why I will call them again if I ever have concerns in the future.

I don’t know why I waited so long to write this review, but better late then Never. In October of 2018 we listed our house for sale. We needed foundation work and had already received several quotes. Then Michael Mercer came into our lives with his awesome personality and honesty about how much work needed to be done, how long it would take and how much it would cost. We were hooked from there. The company took excellent care of us from beginning to end. The office staff was super friendly and kept the communication lines open about the process. Once the work started, I got sooo scared my house would fall apart ( even tho Mike assured me in the past that it wouldn’t) I ran outside and yelled for the workers to stop. The head person in charge of the project ( his name slips my mind) came inside and re assured me that the sounds I was hearing was normal and promised me he would not lift my house no more then what was needed. My house was 30 years old. Once the work was complete, Mike came by and helped us make sure everything was done to standard and it was. There was minimal interior stress to the house. Nothing that could not be fixed quickly so we could get the house sold and the completed work was fantastic. I would highly recommend Fortress for any foundational repair. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I had no idea the process or how to repair foundation issues - I went online and found Fortress based on the reviews. Very glad I did. They walked me through everything I needed to do - and what they were going to do. Helped me along every step of the way. Always answered any questions I had and treated my home with respect as they did their work. Highly recommend them! Fingers crossed I never have to deal with foundation issues again, but if I did I will go back to Fortress.

This is THE company for comprehensive foundation repair. The value they provide is not only in workmanship, but also in educating you the homeowner on the problem, the solution, and the ongoing maintenance. They truly set our house up for long-lasting, fully-warranted success. Many "foundation companies" will set home owners up for instant failure by failing to disclose so much key information like the importance of both an actual structural engineering report from an engineer PRIOR to repair and a static plumbing test PRIOR to repair. Fortress is more than just a foundation company. They are the gold standard for comprehensive foundation remediation and their name is exactly what they will make your home.

I would recommend fortress foundation to everyone! We were dreading having to get the foundation repaired. You sometimes hear horror stories. Well not with this company. They were prompt, honest, did what they said they would do, and were reasonably priced. Our foundation is now perfect. The customer service is top notch!! I would definitely make the same choice again if needed.

I can't say enough Amazing things about Cathy with Fortess Foundation, she is a guardian angel. I had already been taken advantage of by a previous foundation and remodel company and was at a loss cause I still couldn't live in my house. Cathy came out the day after I called, walked me through everything, had me laying on the ground looking under the house and explaining what I was seeing and what would need to be done. She not only listened to my horror story but reassured me that We could fix it. The crew that did the work was great, I stopped by and the site manager talked through status with me and what was being done. When the work was finished Cathy still went out of her way to help my find reliable trustworthy contractors to finish the remodel work I still need done to be able to move in. I cannot say enough or sing the praises of Cathy and Fortess Foundation they are more than just a business but Amazing human beings.

The crew from Fortress Foundation did a great job repairing and lifting my pier and beam foundation. They replaced 8 piers and a support beam the length of my home in two and a half days. Their costs were competitive, the communication with everyone involved was impeccable, and they left my property looking better than it did before they arrived. Very pleased working with FF and would look to them for any other foundation needs if I switch homes in the future.

Best foundation company I've ever used! It was also my first choice after interviewing four other companies to repair my foundation problems after noticing a crack in the floor running from one end of my house to the other. Michael came out to assess our situation and spent all the time we needed explaining the root of our problem and options for repair. We chose Fortress based on their excellent Better Business Bureau rating and Michael's professionalism, understanding of our needs, reviews from past customers and his honesty. The repair team arrived promptly on the scheduled day and worked diligently until the job was complete. Michael showed up with the team to explain the process, again, and answer any questions we had. Some of the cracks we had noticed even closed up after Fortress fixed my foundation. Michael has since followed up to make sure everything is OK and we are satisfied with their service. Couldn't be happier!

Extremely impressed with Fortress Foundation. We needed piers for an addition that was sinking. I called and Hayden was out the same day for an inspection. His crew was out 3 days later. They did excellent work, finished the same day, and cleaned up all the mess. Great company, competitive pricing. Would definitely recommend to others.

Fortress foundation was a great company. They did inside & outside piers at our home. They cleaned up after themselves and worked in a very timely manner. The men that came to the house were all very nice & respectful. The process itself is not fun but they try to help you feel as comfortable as possible. Our house is perfectly level again. Feels good not to worry anymore.The were also reasonably priced! Thanks fortress!

We knew we needed foundation work, but we were so nervous because we knew nothing about it. So many companies want to take advantage of you and just "sell" you. Cathy was a true gem. Treated me like family from the get go. She answered all of my questions and took care of everything. The work was done professionally and they were kind and explained everything they were doing. We are so pleased with the end result and thankful we didnt go with anyone else. Thank you for going above and beyond and making this process as painless as possible!

Michael from fortress foundation from the beginning made me feel very comfortable, informed me of various pier types and thoroghly examined the house for elevation on his own even though I had engineers report. He was very responsive to my texts and phone calls. Which was a welcome change from another foundation company that was very hard to get ahold of. I am satisfied with the work Fortress has done on my house , they even filled up most of the cracks in the brick all around my house as a bonus from their work. I recommend them for your foundation work. The structural engineer after checking the house for new numbers said they did a good job. So I am satisfied customer.

Mike is a great guy. I had 2 other foundation repairmen come out to inspect my foundation. Of the 3 inspections 2 repairmen said I didn’t need pilings. Mike was one of those that said I didn’t need any repairs or pilings. He said as long as I watered my my foundation I shouldn’t have any trouble. He said the expansion gap for the brick, in time, might close up. But every where he measured, my foundation was not more than a half inch off. That is the same as one of the other repairmen said also. Mike did recommend rain gutters. I will be looking into that very soon. I think Mike is a great guy!! Thank you,Bryan W

After receiving a recommendation from a trusted friend, I contacted Cathy at Fortress Foundation. She was helpful, respectful, and informative about the current condition of my foundation. She examined the house and addressed my concerns. She showed me some areas to continue monitoring and informed that at present there is nothing wrong with the foundation. Thankful to have been provided with this recommendation.

Michael came out and checked the deflection on our foundation to confirm that it needed to be serviced. His communication was excellent and we found that we probably needed to add some piers. Michael explained the process and recommended some structural engineering firms that would provide a 3rd party report of the work needed on the foundation. Instead of using in-house engineers Fortress uses the 3rd party engineers so that you as a homeowner know for sure that you are not being sold solutions you don't need. Michael worked with me to schedule the required repairs as outlined by the engineer and explained what would take place. The repairs were completed on time and to a very high standard. I am extremely happy with the foundation work provided by Fortress and it was a pleasure to work with them. I would definitely recommend them to everyone!

Professional, prompt, and practical are the best was I can describe my family's experience in dealing with Fortress Foundation Repair Systems. They quickly formulated a reasonably priced and high quality solution to our foundation problems that were plaguing an interior tiling job. The staff was respectful, knowledgable, and helpful in not only completing the job, but doing so in a way that allowed us to remain in our home instead of having to book a hotel. If you are in need of foundation work, have confidence in choosing Fortress.

Great communication, tells you what is going on. Great customer service, Not in it just for the money. Could have told me anything to make money, but delivered good news and conservative steps that saved Me money instead. Loved Cathy, made a friend! Can't say enough positive about them. Don't hesitate to use them!

Great service. Fortress did a wonderful job fixing my foundation. The entire process was painless, and the price was right too.They also did a great job cleaning up the area around my foundation after their work. They managed to save the mulch around the side of the house for planting.

Very easy to deal with, excellent work. You will pay a little more, but the certainty of having an A+ BBB rated business, and the security of having an engineers report is worth it.

This company did a great job fixing our foundation issues. They were quick to address any concerns we had and walked us through the entire process from evaluating our property, to fixing the issues at hand, then following up with a post evaluation. Micheal was spot on with his initial evaluation of our property, which was confirmed from our structural engineering report. The foundation work was completed in one day and post evaluation completed the next day. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone needing foundation work. They were friendly, professional and honest about what needed to be done, with fair pricing. I will also say their employee Micheal went above and beyond to ensure we were happy with the work completed.

Choose this company because of there reviews and wasn't disappointed with my choice at all. They had great pricing while offering a lifetime warranty . Awesome customer service and communication from beginning to the end. Michael was great walking us through everything happening , with what was going to happen and what to expect keeping us updated without having to ask. Will refer to family and friends.

Very accommodating with my inspection schedule time. Didn’t try to sell me on unneeded work and said they’d be happy to check in later down the road to see if anything changes. In three words, accommodating, friendly, and honest.

These guys did a great job. Their bid came in lower than I expected and workmanship was great. Would highly recommend to anyone needing foundation review/repairs. Hopefully I won't need them in the future; but if I do I will definitely use them again.

My Husband and I put off having work done because we really didn’t want to deal with the hassle. When push came to shove, the work was long overdue. We were lucky enough to call Hayden at Fortress and he made it easy and understandable. I really thank him for how he made it work for us. Definitely above and beyond. Thank you Hayden and the team at Fortress.

AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME!Michael came out and assessed my home, showed me how to look for problems and alleviated my fears of having a problem-I don't have. He could've taken me to the cleaners and I wouldn't have known. However, he just gave me some tips on how to help prevent a problem in yhe future!VERY honest and forthright! I am so happy I called Fortress!

I can’t say enough good things about this company and they work they did on my home. Colton led the charge and was a consummate professional from beginning to end. I even had him come check the foundation on the home we were purchasing. No pressure whatsoever and super friendly. I highly recommend Colton and the rest of the team at Fortress.

Great service, they are competitive in pricing and don’t overcharge. I recommend using a engineer for pier placement, this saved us money as competing bids wanted to place more piers than were necessary for structural stability. Service was courteous and prompt, without a sales job. We obtained 3 bids, fortress won on merit.

Fortress Foundation helped me do the repairs to my home earlier this year. My home required both interior and exterior piers and Fortress did an excellent job for both. The interior pier installation required going through the floor and foundation. Fortress made sure not to do any extra damage than what was required. I'm happy with their work and would recommend.

From the first contact through the finished job we were very happy with the communication and the work done. The crew was hardworking. The supervisor kept us informed of the work and any changes they needed to make or challenges they had. Michael, the Field Specialist, who estimated the job, was very accessible making sure things were going well and following up with us after the job was finished. We even met the owner when he came on site to help trouble shoot a challenge. I was concerned about the digging that had to take place inside my house but the crew did a great job in keeping things clean and cleaned up nicely when it was finished.

I can’t say enough about Fortress Foundation Systems. This company and their employees are what sets folks apart in their respective industry. Colton O’Neill came out and got here exactly when he was supposed to(I’m big on being on time). I’m big on the little things too, so I’ll go over those first. 1. He introduced himself in a very professional and friendly manner. 2. He told me exactly what he was going to do and what he needed from us. 3. He was kind and willing to explain what happens to foundations. 4. He explained the process of what it will take to repair our issue. 5. Nothing major was wrong, but he let us know it might be smart to check in due to one area being slightly lower than the rest of the house. I am very pleased with the manner and respect I was treated with. Colton was a gentlemen and treated us as if we were family. You don’t get that with many other companies, trust me, I am a manager and deal with 100s of people on a daily basis. Fortress Foundation Systems set themselves apart because they understand what the consumer wants/needs! If you ever need your foundation inspected, you won’t go wrong with the exceptional service these folks provide!!!

Crooked house improvements. Excellent company; Fortress Foundation is professional from the top down. Respect and courtesy is channeled to the customer. All answers were satisfied for my ignorant foundation brain. Very happy with this company's operation and employees who give a hoot about their service and customer base. A special shout out to Jeremy and Michael, for going above and beyond in attention to detail that was not expected but, extremely appreciated. They are knowledgeable in skilled trades which carry over into the many aspects of home fixin' uppers! The front door is usable again, WOW! And interior doors do what they are supposed to do again. Thanks again Fortress Foundation.

We appreciated the attentiveness from Trey, Colton, and Victor. Colton was on site from start to finish and was able to address some of our concerns with the main support beam running directly under our house. They ended up saving us $1200.00 by resetting the piers and removing the stress placed on the main beam. We are very pleased with the work they did and will recommend them to others. Drew Baxter

We had Fortress do a check on our foundation to determine what work needed to be done. Michael Mercer was a pleasure to work with. He gave us an honest opinion and suggestion about seeking out an engineers advice before deciding to do any work. I greatly respect and appreciated his integrity.

As a Realtor, having someone to recommend my clients call and knowing they will be taken care of, is paramount. This company has taken care of my clients with the same level of service I deliver. I am proud to say they will be taking care of my foundation soon. They are the only ones I trust. Plus, the warranty STAYS WITH THE HOUSE! Brilliant!

Fortress Foundation Systems was the right company for us! I was extremely busy with work and my own house, however my Dad's house was in need of foundation repair. I spoke with Cathy, showed her the engineer's report, and outlined my desires. She did the rest! She scheduled all the work, followed up with me about progress, and was even able to start a week earlier than expected! The repair crew was prompt, efficient and very courteous. Cathy made the whole thing so easy. I don't think the project would have been completed had it not been for her. She really went the extra mile to see this project through to completion. This company came highly recommended to me. Now I see why! Not only do they deliver quality services, they are a pleasure to work with and care about the people involved in addition to the work they take care of.

My experience with all of the people at Fortress was very positive. From the owners to the Crew Supervisor, Jeremy and the Crew Chief, Andreas, and the other crew, everyone was helpful, courteous and professional. The company was identified by the engineer who originally did my assessment. He gave me 2-3 company names he thought were reliable in DFW. I eventually chose Fortress. They are not the cheapest bid I had, but mid-range. More importantly, they told me what they would do, when and they did it on schedule for the price agreed. You expect that, but seldom encounter it. They met and exceeded my expectations. This is both art and science. With a 50 year old house and Dallas dirt, you cannot predict absolute success. However, these are honest, hard working people who earn their money with trrust and honest dealing. I couldn't ask for more. It takes 4-6 weeks for all the settling to occur and see what the results are. I'm 2 weeks into waiting. But I am satified now that if I do ever have an issue, these folks will address it with the same integrity they displayed thoughout my experience with them so far.

Can't say enough good things about this company. Michael showed up today and after thorough investigation about my concerns, he left without selling me anything - only advice for how to solve problem by installing gutters (which they do not sell). Grateful for a company with this much integrity.

Best foundation company I have found to date. They did foundation work couple of years ago and they did an amazing job. Recently my house needed more foundation work and I used them again - they never disappoint. Cathy is always there to answer any questions that I may have and always there to help. They go above and beyond to make sure you are satisfied with the work that's completed. Customer Service is top notch! Highly Recommended!!!!

Top foundation repair and drain/irrigation company in Dallas. In an industry filled with bad people these guys are one of the few good companies. They are honest, hard working, and do exactly what they say they are going to do. There is no BS when working with these guys. The quality of their work and quality of materials they use are top notch. Other companies will buy the cheapest materials and equipment possible to make higher margins. These guys do not do that and IMO are completely honest and ethical. The owner Hayden is one of the best people I have ever worked with on a project on any of my homes. He is truthful, punctual, gets the job done quickly and accurately the first time and is not overly expensive by comparison to some of the guys in the industry. He also knows his stuff which is why he comes highly recommended by some of the top structural engineers in DFW. He is easy to talk to and doesn’t BS you at all or try to upsell you on anything that your house doesn’t need. He even suggested we do less on my project to save me some $ because he didn’t think what I wanted to do was completely necessary. Very few people have the morals and ethical standards he does.Additionally his crew is thorough and pays extremely close attention to details related to whatever project they are working on.In and industry full of scumbags (for lack of a better word) similar to the roofing industry, Fortress Foundation sets themselves a part and their customer service and work is unmatched. If I ever have another foundation or French drain issue these are the guys I will use. Can’t rate these guys high enough.

I noticed some settling in my home and was very concerned. Other companies wanted thousands of dollars to correct the issue. I was ready to pay then decided to call Michael and am very happy I did! He came out and we had a very long discussion. He communicated clearly that this was normal and I only needed to water my foundation. He helped me understand what was happening with my foundation and it was not necessary for repair. Needless to say I saved a lot of money. And I'm very grateful.

There are so many companies to choose from when you need a foundation services. Fortress is by far is the best. They truly care and do the right thing.

Best foundation company one could ever hope for! After having a few companies come out to check the foundation at my commercial property and trying to scare me into having to spend $10,000-12,000 to fix my foundation or my building would cave in on itself, I was referred to Fortress Foundation Systems. I was extremely skeptical after dealing with the previous companies that I felt were just trying to make a $12,000 sale. Dan and Hayden with Fortress came out, thoroughly assessed our property, and told me that the foundation repairs weren't necessary (pier & beam) and recommended that we get a 3rd party engineer to provide a report to have for our records. They were punctual, professional, and very helpful. They went over & beyond to help me for zero dollars in return. I strongly feel that they do everything they can to truly help people out, regardless if they make a sale or not. I will use them for any future foundation work for our homes and businesses and refer them to everyone we know. If you want a foundation repair assessment from a company that is 100% honest & has your best interest in mind Fortress Foundation Systems is your company. You can’t put a price on peace of mind, but if you did, Fortress would be your cheapest option.
