Service areas

Based in Fredericksburg, VA, covering a 35-mile radius: the City of Fredericksburg plus Spotsylvania, Stafford, and King George counties. We work the Fredericksburg corridor — older housing stock, wood rot in porches and exterior trim, original sash windows, brick-pointing on historic homes.

Inside the radius there is no travel surcharge. You pay the prices published on this site.

Insurance and specialty trades

Forthright Home Repair is insured in Virginia. A certificate of insurance naming your property as an additional insured is available on request before any job begins.

We do not perform specialty-trade work — electrical service-panel work, structural engineering, full roof replacement, HVAC refrigerant handling. When a job crosses into that territory we say so on the walkthrough and refer to a licensed specialist. That referral is free and unaffiliated; we do not take a fee from the partner trade.

What happens after you reach out

Phone, email, or the quote form — whichever is easiest. The form lets you attach photos, which gets you to a price faster on jobs we can quote remotely. For anything that needs measurements (most rot, sash, exterior trim, deck and porch work) we book a free on-site walkthrough, usually within the same week. You see the written estimate before any work begins, and the number on it is the number on the invoice unless scope changes in writing. Every completed job ships with a 1-year workmanship warranty.

See our services overview for the full category list and the kinds of work that fall outside our scope.

Contact FAQs

How quickly do you respond to quote requests?

Most weekday requests submitted before 4pm get a same-day reply with either a quote (for jobs we can price from photos) or a walkthrough booking (for jobs that need an on-site visit).

Do you charge for quotes or walkthroughs?

No. Photo-and-description quotes and on-site walkthroughs are both free in our service area. You will not see an estimate fee or a trip fee on any invoice.

Which counties do you serve?

The City of Fredericksburg plus Spotsylvania, Stafford, and King George counties — a 35-mile radius around Fredericksburg, VA. Inside the radius there is no travel surcharge.

How do I know what the job will cost before you start?

Every job gets a written estimate with a fixed labor figure and an itemized materials line that names the spec (hardware grade, paint product, fastener type). You see and approve it before any work begins. The number on the estimate is the number on the invoice unless scope changes in writing — there is no hourly creep on a fixed-price job.

Are you insured?

Yes. If we damage something while we are working, we fix it or cover it. A certificate of insurance is available on request before the job starts.
