We recently hired Fortitude Contracting for a major home extension project that went over our patio and created a beautiful, spacious new living area — and we couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, working with Bill, his wife Kelly in the office, and their daughter Cora out in the field was a pleasure.
Bill’s craftsmanship and attention to detail were outstanding, and what really stood out was his willingness to go above and beyond the original plan. He gladly took on additional work we hadn’t initially discussed, and it all came together perfectly. Kelly kept communication smooth and organized, and Cora was a great help on-site, making it truly feel like a family team effort. Fair pricing, great communication, and a smooth process from start to finish. Highly recommend!

We had the pleasure of working with Fortitude Contracting in 2025 on a comprehensive home renovation project that included a dormer addition, entryway expansion, construction of a new pool house, and various interior renovations. We are absolutely elated and proud of the results and cannot speak highly enough of the experience.
When starting any major home project, two of the biggest concerns for homeowners are cost and timeline. With Fortitude Contracting, those worries were quickly put to rest. From the very beginning, Bill and his team demonstrated professionalism, efficiency, and a strong sense of teamwork. Many of the team members are part of Bill’s family, which contributes to their seamless communication and trust in one another—something that truly sets them apart.
While we did face several unexpected delays due to permitting issues beyond anyone’s control, Fortitude handled the situation with patience and persistence. Despite the initial 2–3 month setback, they worked diligently to ensure that everything was completed on schedule, allowing us to move in just in time for Memorial Day which was our original goal.
We also want to highlight Kelly, who was exceptionally organized and transparent throughout the entire process. Her attention to detail in both billing and project operations gave us total peace of mind. Both Bill and Kelly were refreshingly honest and fair when it came to pricing, and we never once felt pressured to go beyond our budget or make unnecessary upgrades from them (although we did decide on new changes ourselves and we still finished on time).
In every way, working with Fortitude Contracting exceeded our expectations. We would not hesitate to hire them again for future projects, and we wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, skilled, and trustworthy contracting team.

I hired Fortitude Contracting based on some recommendations from friends and also after checking other contractors out. I'm glad I went with Fortitude. They are really good people and have wonderful workers who do the labor. It took about 4 weeks in total, but the finished product was well worth it. They were all clean and meticulous in their daily work . Cora and Bill oversaw the project and were in and out frequently . I was always informed of each step in the process.
I would highly recommend this company. Thank you to Kelly, Edwin, Pedro, Taylor , as well. for their expertise and beautiful work. I couldn't be more pleased!

Bill and his wife Kelly were superb. Kelly is extremely organized and on top of scheduling. I don't believe the phone even rang once when calling Fortitude, that's how quick and responsive they were. Bill is a construction professional through and through. He was very thorough and answered all my wife and I's questions/concerns. He even took it a step further with his professionalism by printing and coming to our initial meeting with his own set of architectural plans for our home and detailing areas where we can save money and outlining detailed electrical plans.
My wife and I decided not to move forward with our build at this time but I would recommend Bill & Fortitude Contracting to anyone looking to build their dream home. Very trusted professionals.

This is my second time, working with Bill and Kelly. My projects are not huge. These guys are brilliant. They are great to contact you, call you and most of all their work is spectacular. I’m very fussy and have no complaints. I would recommend them any time, any day and would not bother with any other company. Cora, ( their daughter) Pedro &Evan transformed my kitchen floors today. I’m so happy. I have big plans going forward for my home and will not use anyone else. Thank you , Billy, Kelly ,Cora and awesome workers Evan & Pedro 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
