EXCELLENT Based on 36 reviews Posted on Cindy NgeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently hired Fred and his team to handle flooring, drywall, and painting in our home after a water leak issue. The quality of work was top-notch—clean lines, smooth finishes, and expert craftsmanship throughout every room. They were professional, punctual, and respectful of our space, keeping everything tidy and organized from start to finish. What really impressed us was their attention to detail and clear communication. The entire process was seamless, and the final result looks amazing. If you're looking for a contractor who delivers both quality and professionalism, look no further. We are thrilled.Posted on Jeremy LoyaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. FM Contracting recently installed hardwood flooring in my bedroom and replaced all the baseboards and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The team showed up on time every day, worked efficiently, and left the space spotless, I was shocked at how clean everything was at the end of each day. No dust, no mess. They even matched the hardwood perfectly with our current floor. Even when I added some extra work to the scope, they stuck to the original timeline without missing a beat. If you’re looking for a contractor who’s skilled, dependable, and easy to work with, I highly recommend FM Contracting. They made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Thanks Fred!Posted on Brian HoldenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used FM Contracting for some painting, wall paper, wainscoting, and general touch ups on our place recently and can't recommend them enough. Fred and his entire team were great to work with, very professional and top notch service. To the point we entrusted them with the keys to our place to finish some work while we were gone on vacation. Very refreshing to be able to rely on a team like this in the city!Posted on Julia HoldenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a wonderful experience with Fred and his team at FM Contracting. We used them for painting, wainscoting, wallpaper, drywall, lighting, and some other cosmetic work. Fred was professional, friendly, and easy to communicate with throughout the whole process. His team is also very friendly and professional. Our project was completed swiftly and smoothly. We even had Fred and the guys work on our house while we were out of town which was so nice to let them get the work done while we were away. We came back to a beautifully renovated home. Would highly recommend FM Contracting to anyone looking to renovate.Posted on Sarah CookTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

They redid both my roof and deck, and the quality of their work is wonderful. They were incredibly responsive and receptive to my questions and needs, and they followed up consistently throughout the project. I also really appreciated how efficient and respectful they were—especially since much of the work happened while I was at work. I felt totally comfortable with them in my home. Highly recommend!Posted on Andrew AlukoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We needed some vinyl siding reattached after a storm a week prior. I got a few quotes but FM contracting was the quickest and most efficient. Excellent communication and we hope to work with them again!Posted on Alyssa ZTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently hired FM Contracting to repair some damaged drywall and repaint several rooms in my home, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. They were incredibly punctual, arriving on time every day, and maintained a high level of professionalism throughout the entire project. The drywall repairs were seamless—you’d never know there was any damage to begin with—and the paint job looks fantastic. I truly appreciated their clear communication, respect for my home, and commitment to quality. I highly recommend FM Contracting to anyone looking for reliable and skilled work. I’ll definitely be calling them again for future projects!Posted on Josh DrippsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
