3 Reasons You Don't Want a Ballpark Estimate

On a clear summer night, while you are out at a baseball game, an intruder silently creeps into your basement and destroys everything in sight. Water! You don't even know until the next morning, when the damage is already done. You know repairs will require professionals and, wisely, you call Fortress Foundation Solutions. After acquiring information from the courteous and helpful Fortress call center, you are tempted to ask, “So, about how much will it cost?” Don't do it! Here are three reasons why a ballpark estimate can be counter-productive:

1. Ballpark estimates are essentially poor guesses.

Every house's situation is different. Just knowing square footage and the type of foundation your home has isn't enough to quote a price; you need a careful, personalized evaluation. Fortress does that. If other companies give you a quote and they haven't even seen the house, you can be sure they're either guessing or lying.

2. Ballpark estimates lack foresight.

An estimate made without seeing the building is one that assumes no complications. Unfortunately, a basement issue is usually much more complex than it appears on the surface. Is it really just one crack in the wall? For Fortress, the diligent home inspection means an accurate understanding of all possible complications and a much better quote.

3. There's a better way!
