In March my wife and I decided it was finally time to get a deck built on our TH after almost 10…read moreyears. I realized it probably wasn't the best time to be building a deck with wood prices sky high, but figured we'd see what we could find. I contacted 5 companies to come out and give me a quote. Out of those 5 only Virginia Deck Builders and 1 other sent me a quote for the deck within 24 hours. And out of both of them only Virginia Deck Builders replied to every email question I sent (even after hours). My wife being a graphic artist was very impressed by the multiple autocad renders of what the deck would look like that were included with the quote. Nikolay answered all our questions a long the way and filled out the HOA approval form for us. From start to to finish everything took about 3 months (permits, HOA approval, inspections etc). We did run into 1 snag where we had to make an adjustment to how the deck was supported which increased the price slightly but Nikolay was willing to split the cost with me. After the deck was finished I had to have Virginia Deck Builders come up and do a few things that probably should have been done without me asking (cleaning up the work site better etc). There is still a couple minor things I still need them to do but they haven't stopped us from enjoying the deck. Also as we know no review can be 100% perfect my only real complaint so far is the Trex Select deck seems to be scratching very easily, obviously not an issue with the building of it, but I sort of wish I had been warned that it scratches easily and maybe I would have maybe gone with the Trex Transcend.

The only time that Nikolay Jantic, the owner, was responsive was when he came to pick up my 50%…read moredeposit check. 2/10/23 - I paid $3,752 (50%) to have 20 rotting boards replaced on my wood deck, power washing, and staining. Despite repeated calls, I received no info on scheduling. 4/18/23 - Finally a 3-man crew showed up and replaced the rotting boards and one upright post, but they left all the old wood in a pile behind the house. 5/15/23 - I was concerned about safety and HOA rules in regard to the pile of wood boards, so I paid 123Junk to haul it away, I also called Jim the Handyman who agreed to come this week and complete the project, because I was only getting the run around from Nikolay about when they would return. If you choose Virginia Deck Builder, expect total lack of communication and long delays in receiving the product you paid for.

I just ran across their Yelp profile this evening so I thought I'd post a review. We had our…read morewalkway and front porch done a few years ago and they did a fantastic job! Everyone we dealt with was extremely professional and personable. We have received many compliments since it was installed. A great family owned business!

We had our front walkway, stoop, threshold, and back patio completely redone in just three days…read more We love the end results! Jeremiah (the contractor) and his crew did an amazing job. I appreciated their attention to detail and their craftsmanship. Also, Jeremiah patiently answered all my questions throughout the entire process -- from the free estimate at our house through the completion of both projects. He also made several excellent recommendations regarding color, stain, layout, design and so forth. The new concrete walkway and stoop/threshold (with matching pavers) took years off the appearance of our house, which was built in 1969. The back patio also looks fantastic! They removed the original 4 concrete slabs, as well as some pavers that we had installed ourselves as a temporary fix several years ago. All of that was replaced by stamped concrete that was antiqued and sealed. One of our friends commented that the patio now resembles a European old world square. In addition, the project significantly increased the usable outdoor living space. We have received numerous compliments on both masonry projects from friends and neighbors. I would give Jeremiah and his crew 5 stars for the finished projects. I highly recommend their work! In fact, I would have given a 5 star review OVERALL but there were a couple issues that precluded me from doing so. First, I was told that the work at our house would begin between 8:00 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. but no one showed up until approximately 3:30 p.m. [They had been at another site working on a concrete project that had been delayed due to rain earlier that week]. I understand scheduling conflicts can happen, especially with businesses that are at the mercy of Mother Nature. However, I would have appreciated a simple phone call to keep me in the loop. Throughout the morning and early afternoon I left voice messages with the contractor and Masonry Specialist, LLC. I sent a couple emails to the company. I even posted a message on Masonry Specialist's Facebook page. It was only through Facebook that I received a response. The second -- and main reason -- I gave 4 stars instead of 5 has to do with the way the final payment process was handled. Our two projects combined were not inexpensive. Therefore, I wanted to take advantage of my credit card companies' rewards programs. I emailed Masonry Specialist and asked if I could put half the project cost on one card (to get air miles) and half on another card (to get points). Brandy at Masonry Specialist responded via email, "We can certainly accept credit cards, however, they charge us a 3.5% fee -- with two transactions, they would charge us 2x -- we prefer cash or check due to this." I suggested a compromise. I said I could send a check that day for half the payment and then immediately call her with a credit card number to pay the remaining amount. Brandy responded that she would be happy to accommodate. HOWEVER, she would pass on the 3.5% credit card fee to me. What?!? Since I wasn't thrilled with the idea of having to pay more than we both had originally agreed to, I wrote a personal check for the entire amount and mailed it to the company. Masonry projects can be costly. I doubt that all families have large sums of cash at their disposal. I would hope that Masonry Specialist, LLC would reconsider its policy of charging customers a fee for the convenience of using credit cards. That would be a 5-star idea.

These guys are Tops. From the beginning of the project to the end everyone is communicative,…read morefriendly, and professional. Even though we had some issues waiting on HOA approval they were on the ball the whole time, keeping up with everything. We had them redo our backyard with a paver patio and a small retaining wall to prevent more of our backyard from sliding away, as well as regrading the backyard. I cannot express how fantastic the end results are. We have a functional backyard! Finally! They helped design a way to make it all functional and then made it happen... quickly and efficiently AND without any hiccups. If you have landscaping needs don't hesitate to come to NOVA Landscaping. Seriously.

Brian really listened to what I wanted but also gave his recommendations. A few more days later he returned with a 3D design of what my deck would look like. The whole process took a couple of weeks but in the end my deck looks amazing. The installation team were hands on and very courteous. Any questions I had were answered promptly and everyone I was in contact with was very professional. I recommend NOVA Landscape to anyone who is looking to upgrade their patios and/or decks.

My wife and I used Blaine to remodel our master bathroom and quest bathroom. When it came time to…read moreremodel our kitchen, we selected Fine Line Construction again. There really was not much of a decision based on our history with Blaine. We were not disappointed. Remodeling a kitchen is much different than remodeling a bathroom - many more moving parts and design decisions. The kitchen remodel highlighted the best trait about Blaine. You can discuss design alternatives throughout the process. He listens and provides the pros and cons. He will go out of this way to ensure you are happy with the result. The name Fine Line Constructions speaks for itself. Blaine's attention to detail is amazing. He will spot imperfections and fix them before you even notice the problem. And on those rare occasions when you are not 100 percent pleased with the result, Blaine will address the issue without question. I am not sure what our next remodeling project will be, but when hiring a General Contractor our first choice will be Fine Line Construction.

We first met Blaine and his crewmate, Nick, back in 2022. We can't say enough about them and what…read morethey've managed to do for us since that time; the below will be our attempt. Over the past year and a half they've masterfully completed several jobs for us, and we have them on the books for several more. They have dug out and installed french drains with sump pumps as well as repaired and painted walls, ceilings, and brickwork. All of these things were done expertly. But the most significant work they've done was to create, from the ground up, an addition to our house. We call it an addition, a sunroom, our new "hang out all day" room. A 14x16 vaulted ceiling with support beam masterpiece, the casement windows are all handmade with the finest craftsmanship and care. They spent hours, days and weeks measuring, sanding, staining, painting, glueing, nailing, and appraising. Perfection was the goal and it was accomplished over and over again. We were especially appreciative of the creativity and thoughtfulness with design and vision: Blaine especially was adept at providing the many options involved in all aspects of the job to choose from - such as tile material and color to stain shades - and then, when asked, gave his highly informed and relevant ideas and opinions. And when supplier issues and delays occurred as they always seem to these days they were undeterred and never rushed nor took shortcuts. They were always punctual, courteous, and up front with all details and accounting. Our cost overages were insignificant. We couldn't be happier with them and their work, and the end result was well beyond what we expected.

We hired Ryan in April to complete a full deck and Patio for us. He was very responsive and came to…read moresee us several times with the best sales pitch. We signed the contract and gave a check for $40,000. After which it was hard to get in contact with him for several weeks. After meeting with him again to let him know how unhappy we were he said he was on vacation and was so sorry and said that the deck will be completed by July 4th. He has since not been in contact with us at all. The last communication was the beginning of the month to let us know that materials would come in 2 days. Again NO RESPONSE and none of the materials have showed. Ryan is COMPLETELY and UTTERLY unprofessional and lack the decency and common sense to reply to paying customers. Perhaps because I am an immigrant he believes that he can take advantage of me but he cannot. I am still awaiting a call from Ryan and will also be in contact with his supplies as well to let them know there reputation is on the line as well because they should not be dealing with someone who has such shady business practices.

She instantly gets hold of Adam...who, amazingly, is at our house a short while later to measure and quote a fence. I'm so impressed we make a deal on the spot. - Later that night I check Yelp.

He and Cindy stick close on scheduling despite my poor availability. Ultimately we set a super-close install date that works for my schedule. - Great team shows up right on time and impressively constructs our fence while answering my questions, consulting with me and advising tweaks to my plan...all of which I'm glad I accepted.
