  Deciding which company to choose regarding our bathroom renovation was not an easy task, however after seeing the work done at a friends home, we decided to go with Forte. The pricing was fair- in our budget and comparable to other companies we spoke with. In addition to our bathroom, we also had the carpet on the second level and stairs replaced with engineered hardwood flooring. Pros- The crew was on time and worked diligently through out the day. We felt comfortable leaving them alone in our home. Any questions that came up during the project, were always asked and taken care of immediately. Our project manager, Mark, was friendly and thorough in explaining things to the crew and visited near daily. Our final project was exactly as pictured in the renderings- which was amazing. It was a very cool experience seeing it come from my head, to the rendering and finally walking into the completed bathroom. Tamis, the admin, was a pleasure to work with. The original bathroom had water leaks which resulted in horrible damage to the sub floor and ceiling in the room below. The crew made sure to take up all the damaged floor and replace and waterproof it to avoid it from happening again. The ceiling below the bathroom was replaced and the entire ceiling of the affected room was repainted. The gentleman who redid the stairs spent several days working on getting the stain on the rails to perfectly match our new floors- and it’s a perfect match. Cons- Actually getting our project started took longer than estimated. Emails went days without being answered and I had to verify payments and selections had been received/reviewed. We had to go through about 4 different vanity selections due to delays in either Forte making the orders or supply issues, resulting in selecting different plumbing fixtures nearly every time the vanity choice was out of stock. The shower surround had to be resealed various times- and still has some leaking areas. The vanities were caulked with shiny caulk and pulled away from the vanity top- this was corrected days after the project was completed, but has since occurred again, the project was just finished in August of 2021. The door had to be rehung and change opening directions due to the new shower, however it is now ( only 5 months after the project) sagging and scratching the new tile. The crew cleaned up after themselves throughout and after the project was done, however there was lots of debris left underneath the vanity. Overall- We enjoyed working with Forte’s crew and love our new bathroom.

  Response from the owner

  Angelique – First, we would like to say thank you very much for your review!! Secondly, we apologize for any inconveniences you may have had during the time we worked together. When signing with our company, you are given an estimated timeframe of when the project would start which is only an estimate and is easily effected by many factors such as lead times, work load delays, COVID, etc. As for the email communication, we went back and checked our records and all email communication that we have record of with you, were answered in a timely manner - within 24 hours of receiving them. Lastly, the job was completed and a professional cleaning crew was hired to come in and clean the work space. Since then, we have not received any communication from you regarding the above listed issues but if you are experiencing these issues, please contact us and we will be happy to get these issues taken care of for you. Thank you again for your business and your review!!

  Outstanding Job by Forte Construction !! We did a complete bathroom remodel and Bayram and the entire Forte team were top-notch throughout the entire process. The 3D renders that Bayram provided allowed us see the finished result beforehand, allowing us to achieve a perfect result. José provided exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail, making valuable suggestions on several improvements that made our bathroom even better. The entire crew cleaned up the area daily, and Mark walked through to ensure every detail was achieved to our satisfaction. We would definitely use Forte Construction again and give them 5-Stars !

  Used FORTE for a full master bath remodel down to the studs. They started within a week of our scheduled time. The team showed up every day at the same time until the work was completed. I had six change orders that were executed flawlessly. Quality was top notch, I had something like six punch list items that got knocked out in no time. The renderings were fantastic and really helped us make decisions and note requirements where we had not noted them before. Given that I had six change orders, project was done when they said it would be done. I am planning to use them again.
