Tim was very prompt, informative, extremely polite and hard working. Work was done as scheduled and suggestions were made, but he was not pushy, just factual. He suggested that I extend my contract for annual inspections for 5 years at a discounted price and I think it was a good decision. I would highly recommend this company and Tim.

Joshua Gaddy came to fix where the pipe coming out of the house was cut off and not taken care of properly to keep water from coming back in the house and letting the sump pump run every 15 seconds. Temporary fix and said someone would be back to fix it in the spring when the ground wasn't frozen. Your company needs something better than heat tapes for the pipe not freezing, after all we live in Michigan. Cam was told by someone to cut it off but not what to do so water wouldn't gush out on the ground right next to my house with no place to go. Joshua did the best he could for now. I wasn't happy with the problem, being I spent so much to keep water out and ruining my foundation. The job was done nicely until the pipe froze.

Getting a crawlspace inspection and estimate from FSM was the best contractor experience I've had in years. Eric T was on time, super detailed, and very honest about what was versus wasn't needed. Highly recommend, and with what I've seen so far I expect the project to be a breeze.
