Fortress Construction LLC (Miguel and crew) built a screened in porch for us over the winter of 2023-2024. Our project was large and involved demolition of an existing two-level deck, and building a new deck/screened in porch. The porch had two rooms, one with a vaulted ceiling and one with a shed roof. The deck is uncovered and runs the rest of the width of our home.We are very pleased with the results. The build took a few months due to the scope of the work and because it was winter with short, very cold days. The day-to-day crew was very knowledgeable, efficient, and the result of their work is a porch built with very high quality.I would definitely recommend Miguel and Fortress Construction LLC for your project.

We're absolutely thrilled with our new deck and patio! From beginning to end, Miguel was incredibly responsive, patiently answering all of our questions and offering valuable insights to help us make informed decisions about our project. Miguel's professionalism and friendliness made the entire process enjoyable and stress-free, and his company's craftmanship and attention to detail are evident in every aspect of our deck and patio. In addition, our project was completed in a timely manner without sacrificing quality, and they even managed to finish ahead of schedule, allowing us to enjoy our new outdoor space sooner than we expected. Overall, we couldn't be happier with our experience with Fortress Construction.We've included before and after photos to demonstrate what a difference the patio and deck have made for us. Our existing deck was over 25 years old and too big for the space. Animals and our dogs were constantly going under our sunroom and deck, and the area under the deck was a breeding ground for mosquitos. We had stopped going into the backyard with our dogs because it had become so unpleasant. I can't even begin to express how glad we are to have our backyard back! The dogs are thrilled too. A big thank you to Miguel and his entire crew!

I am very happy we found Fortress Construction to rebuild our two-tiered deck. Miguel is very knowledgeable and a great communicator. He listened to our concerns with the old deck. He provided solutions that not only solved the problems but were also aesthetically pleasing. Fortresses Construction obtained the permit from the county, showed care for the community and our property during the deck demolition and construction. We couldn't be happier with the result. Thank you Fortress Construction!

I found some who understood what I wanted and was able to deliver. Very experienced, knowledgeable, quality material with an excellent price. They did my screen porch with an attached deck. I love it, my neighbors love it and all my guest love it. Good communication through the project and upfront explanation of when each payment will be due. It really exceeded my expectation. I really don’t have enough words but I am so glad I went forward with this project and chose Fortress. A+Services: Deck installation, Deck remodeling, Fan installation

Good job done fast once you get through county permit approvals. Very happy with the new deck that replaced old rotting deck. Miguel was very knowledgeable.

I would highly recommend them. I was amazed at how much care Miguel’s crew took with our project. From the tear down, and the delicate care they took around our old, majestic tree, to the craftsmanship of the deck. Each day, the crew worked above and beyond, to build an oasis that will last forever. Every day I can spend out there is a peaceful, mindful, energy-lifting experience. I look a that deck and am amazed at the beauty they created for us. Thank you Fortress, Miguel and wonderful crew!!!Services: Deck installation, Deck remodeling

My daughter lives in Broadland, VA. In May when we went to visit her from Canada, we noticed the wood in her deck was darkened, rotten & had a big hole in the center due to heavy rain & extreme sun exposure.We helped her to find a few decks builders & get quotes. Finally, we decided to go with Miguel Nogales, Fortress Builders. We replaced the wood deck to a composite product. Miguel’s team came and in no time, teared down the deck & rebuilt it with the beautiful composite deck. For our budget, we used existing wood posts & beams structure and will try to stain later.We are very pleased with Fortress Builders work. The quoting process & price is very reasonable, Miguel who oversees the team, was very courteous and professional. We would highly recommend him & the company Fortress Construction to all our friends.Aug, 2022Service: Deck replacement

A top shelf experience. Miguel was the first one on site to review my job, gave me a quote the next day, and a rendering that matched exactly what I wanted. The work crew that showed up knocked it out the park. The mason took his time, and made sure the job was going to be something that I wanted to enjoy for years to come. I'd use Fortress for any job. This is the way you want to experience working with construction pro's. Thanks Miguel and Crew!

I was looking to replace our original deck. Fortress responded to a free estimate inquiry within a day, scheduled a visit and sent me a quote very quickly. The overall project management and customer service was fantastic. The vendor was very prompt to answer questions and explain the process from start-to-finish.

I would recommend Fortress Construction to anyone seeking a reliable and professional contractor who does quality work. Getting the approval from Fairfax County took very long but Miguel stuck it out with us and pursued every avenue to get a response from the County. Without his persistence we could never have got the job done. Once the work started, his team showed up regularly and completed the job in a timely way. The best part was that I was able to stay in touch with Miguel via text and email and he responded promptly to answer any questions I had. If I had another job to get done, I would definitely go back to Fortress Construction.Service: Composite decks

We recently bought a house and had a few questions about our existing deck and if it could support a new hot tub. Miguel, the co-owner, came out to take a look. I've met a lot of contractors over the years for various projects and many times they give you a hard sell without saying much. Miguel was very different. He was full of valuable information, knew the building code, and could answer all my questions. I don't know if we'll be getting the work done, but I appreciate the time he gave me just to talk it through, so I'm posting a 5 star review.

Fortress Construction, was building a deck for another homeowner in my townhome community, which is how I came to learn of their construction company. After interviewing many other companies and "handymen" who claimed to be able to work on decks I decided to work with Fortress Construction. Fortress is an emerging company placing its' footprint in the competitive area of construction in the Northern Virginia area. This family owned business has owners who have many years of experience in the areas of construction. Their staff are prompt when reporting to a job - when they say they'll be at your home at 7am, they will arrive as scheduled. They also clean up after themselves at the end of a work day and of course , when the project is completed.Miguel, one of the owners I worked with, was meticulous in making sure the required paperwork was completed promptly, and in accordance to the jurisdiction where the homeowner resides. He is a "hands on" co-owner who visits sites where Fortress projects are in progress to make sure the work of his company is being preformed correctly and in a timely manner. Fortress replaced the flooring of a wood deck with Trex material and added at my request some solar lighting which really brought enhancement to this project. This was a wise and attractive investment to my home and one which I truly enjoy.Fortress Construction in Northern Virginia will do well and see success in its' endeavors .Service: Install flooring

We have nothing but good things to say about Fortress Construction and their work. Miguel was amazing with his input during our design phase and patient. Throughout the whole process he explained every detail we asked about the plans. Miguel and the rest of his team built our dream deck and were very professional, punctual, and transparent. There were no problems with the inspections and deck itself was beautiful and built with detail and care. Overall we could not be happier with our new outdoor space.

Our 20+ year old deck needed to be replaced, I was referred to Fortress through a neighbor after they got theirs built.I called them and got an estimate plus a 3D rendering. The rendering was the coolest part. It was easy to see what we would get. I hired them to build us a porch and we couldn't be happier and would highly recommend them. Next year we want to put in a pergola so will definitely use Fortress again.Services: Deck remodeling, Deck design, Wood deck construction, Deck replacement, Porch construction

These guys more deserve more than 5 stars. From the beginning they delivered what they had promised and then some. Wish all contractors were like this. We loved their deck design and quality of work. Highly highly recommend!
