James came recommended for a bathroom renovation. He delivered on time and budget. Have used him again for my decking. Highly recommended.

Thank you James for the great construction of the fence and the repairs to another part of it. We are very pleased with the work carried out. The care you took to leave everything clean and tidy. We definitely would recommend you to anyone who needs building work done. Thank you.

We approached Fortress Construction to build an outdoor entertainment area for us, based on a friend’s recommendation. In the past, we've rarely been satisfied with contractors—some delivered great workmanship but were painfully slow, while others worked quickly but sacrificed quality. Our experience with Fortress was completely different. They truly listened to what we wanted, took the time to get every detail right, and still completed the project in a timely manner. We couldn’t be happier with the result. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them, and we’ll definitely be using them again for our next project.

James is great. His work ethic and honest approach is second to none. He did three different jobs including a re-roof, a pergola and a kitchen and flooring remodel for me personally. He did it fast, and kept me informed all along so there were no surprises. He left it clean and tidy and he came up with cost effective solutions, the final product was great. I'll happily recommend him, and I do.

We recently used Fortress Construction for our home renovation, and we have been thrilled with the results. James and his team were professional, reliable, and so easy to deal with. With great communication and regular updates, we felt reassured and listened to. The pride James and his team put into their work was evident throughout the whole process. We would highly recommend Fortress Construction to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable builder. James, your work has truly brought our plans to life, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome.
