They have the necessary skills, knowledge and expertise to provide detailed property inspections for your residential real estate transactions. I would hire them again.

It has been six months and they have still not completed a bathroom renovation. Four weeks were due to a vanity issue, but that was resolved and the continued delay rests squarely with the project manager, Marc Leon. So many things have been handled unprofessionally and disrespectfully. FSI was referred to me by an architect and she will be hearing about these complaints as well.
1. During demo, the crew scratched my stainless steel refrigerator door because they decided to haul their materials through the kitchen and into the garage instead of through the front door and outside to the garage. Once I discovered this, i had to supervise to ensure they stayed out of kitchen.
2. Tile work could only be done after 5 pm or on weekends. It took much longer than it should have. There was no quality control. The bathroom floor had to be redone in areas because it wasn't level. Apparently, the crew had one piece of defective tile left for shower tile and instead of ordering another box they installed it and attempted to cover it up with caulking. Once that was discovered by me, I had to wait three weeks for more tile. No apology from Marc Leon for the deception or delay.
3. The company that provided the countertop called me almost four weeks after it was installed to tell me they had not been paid the balance owed by FSI and Marc Leon had been unresponsive to their inquiries. At this point, I had already paid 90% of the costs.
4. Even though water was available in the garage and basement, the tile installers tried to use my kitchen sink!
5. At different times throughout this project, I'd asked for an itemized expense to ensure we remained on budget, Marc could never provide it.
6. Unreliable start times. There seemed to be a consistent lack of respect for the customer. He might tell me they team will arrive at 8 am but they wouldn't show up until 10. Or I would get a text out of the blue saying someone would be there in 10 minutes to do something.
7. Shower door floor seal ripped a few weeks after installation. I've contacted Marc and no response.
8. A week ago, the county inspector reviewed the work and they did not pass. I still have not heard from Marc. He has not responded to my inquiries on when he can fix the problem so inspection can clear.
I feel like I've been unbelievabley patient with FSI, but I need to move on to other more pressing matters and Marc knows it but continues to drag his heels through his unresponsiveness.
If I read a review like this before contracting with FSI, I would have tried my luck with another company.

We couldn't be happier with the work done by Marc and his FSI crew. We had 3 bathrooms completely gutted and redone. They gave very useful design ideas which improved our new bathrooms. The crew was extremely competent and professional. Other parts of the house were protected while work was ongoing. The finished bathrooms are functional and elegant. We wholeheartedly recommend FSI for home renovation and improvement.

FSI Renovations, Marc Leon and his entire team are fantastic. They are thoughtful, thorough and efficient. They redid our kitchen - down to the studs - in four weeks!!! Since it was my first big renovation, Marc made a point of walking me through the process, sending me to the best vendors to select cabinetry, flooring, counter-tops and more. He walked me through the process and timeline. He taught me how best to prepare for the work taking place in our home.
Changes? No problem! Advice? Happy to provide insights from his years of renovating and building.
We have used him to update our current home as well as our rental property - especially after renters moved out. He is our go-to person for all things building. We plan major bathroom renovations and will use FSI, Marc and his team to complete the task.
Highly recommend!

I couldn't have been happier with the work of Marc Leon and team at FSI Renovations, which assisted us with two major renovations in two different homes that included bedrooms, bathrooms and basement. Their craftsmanship is superb, dependable, and their work occurred on time and budget. During renovations like this, contractors become part of the family, and this was certainly true and most pleasurable with Marc and his FSI team. I have recommended FSI to friends, neighbors, work colleagues, realtors and interior designers and will continue to do so.
