Restoring a 1910 Colonial Revival is always a difficult yet rewarding experience that requires patience , and expectation of the unknowable obstacles that will derail any attempt at a budget .The surprise came during a record breaking winter in the form of a Rat infestation that includedGnawing on the new plumbing lines 12 different ones and nesting inside the brand new installation along with having babies throughout the crawl spaces. The result (4 years after eliminating the rodent community), was a disgusting mess and the dampness that encouraged Mold and pieces of the used installation drooping from the ceiling.Enter Fortress Foundation Solutions!Eddie came to the house prepared, lots of science based material, diagrams, product and most importantly, a plan of action that was encapsulation of the dual crawl spaces at a reasonable price. But when the crew showed up, that’s when I realized what a valuable resource this Company truly is.Enter “ El Jefe”, Nick Burke along with his crew the adorable Dante and Jarred. (My description). In one day this dream team transformed the Hellish space into a safe , clean and functional crawl space that went from 61 degrees of humidity to a perfect 55 degrees. I would even allow my grandchild, Wild Bill to explore now.It’s a rarity when people or companies actually do exactly what they promise . In this case , Fortress Foundation Solutions delivers more than I expected ; and did it with humor and joy!PS: I need to also include their Master Electrician, Jeremy West who installed the dedicated line for the dehumidifier. What a gem and a very intelligent, professional who was a pleasure to work with . Bravo to the team !
