FAQ
Common questions
Do you actually work in old .NET, VB6, and classic ASP?
Yes — it's what we specialize in. We've worked in .NET Framework environments going back to version 1.1, including WebForms and legacy MVC. We also maintain production VB6 applications and classic ASP sites. If you're worried we'll tell you to rewrite everything — we won't, unless that's genuinely the right answer.
Can you take over a system someone else built?
That's most of our work. We take ownership of legacy codebases regularly, starting with a thorough assessment to understand what we're inheriting before recommending anything.
How do engagements typically start?
Every engagement starts with a paid assessment. Before we recommend anything or write a line of code, we learn your system — its history, its risk areas, its undocumented behaviors. You get a clear picture of what you actually have and what it needs. From there, we agree on scope and a path forward together.
Who will actually be doing the work?
Chesapeake Foundry is founder-led. You'll work directly with a senior engineer with 30 years of hands-on Microsoft stack experience. For larger engagements or specialized requirements, we bring in senior engineers from a vetted network of colleagues — people we've worked alongside over the years, not staffing agency placements.
Can you augment our existing engineering team?
Absolutely. We often work as embedded specialist partners, providing the deep legacy expertise your internal team needs to keep the current system stable while they focus on new initiatives.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes. We routinely sign mutual NDAs before detailed discovery conversations. Confidentiality is a baseline expectation, not a negotiation.
