Hired for major home renovation. Would not rehire or recommend. Wish we'd looked into the company and owner more before hiring to avoid all the problems we encountered.

We have been using Derrick and Fortress builders for numerous projects at both our home and rental home. Derrick always does high-quality work without taking shortcuts. I am surprised by the one-star review and think that it is likely more to do with the current supply labor issues than Fortress. All of the contractors are having trouble obtaining supply and properly bidding contracts because of the quickly changing prices. I would not hesitate to hire Fortress for any job major or minor.
