Clearly, one of the finest roofing companies in the area. Augustine is the real deal…read more After 30 years, it was time to replace our roof. Using the Washington Consumer Checkbook and Yelp to find the best roofers, we received estimates from four top companies. Augustine came in almost $2K cheaper than the next lowest bidder. Not only is their pricing fair, but you will receive a comprehensive estimate, a portal which allows you to view scheduling and ask questions and quality workmanship. Augustine uses quality material and doesn't skimp. As a bonus, they allow payment by credit card, so you can rack up those points! Props to our contact Johnny. He made the entire process easy and less scary. Everything was done ahead of schedule and there was absolutely no material left on the surrounding grounds. Not a single shingle or nail was left. If you want your roofing project completed on time, correctly and at a fair price, look no further than Augustine.

Short review: hiring Construction Systems of Virginia is the hardest I've ever had to work for a…read morejob I was paying somebody else to do. Between missed self-imposed deadlines, poor workmanship, and major mistakes, completing the project to satisfaction took constant vigilance on my part and a general knowledge of construction techniques I felt lucky to have, but would've left someone less experienced with sometimes unsafe conditions in their home. Overall, the project was completed, but it took significant effort, time, and money on my part and, as a result, I wouldn't recommend anybody to hire Construction Systems of Virginia. The final straw for me to write this review is that one of the two patio doors I had installed by CSOVA started peeling on the door jamb after only a year or two. I reached out to CSOVA to ask for a receipt so I could file a warranty claim with the manufacturer. They had no receipt. I asked for a statement or some kind of paperwork that I could send to the manufacturer. They said they would send it but have never followed up despite asking for it multiple times. My project was large in scope and took five months. I hired CSOVA via Patrick Mullen to repair the back exterior wall of my townhouse after we discovered mold on the inside. It's difficult to be concise with all the things that went sideways on this project so here's my top ten things that went wrong: 1. They installed an outlet without an electrical box 2. They didn't initially replace the piece of sheathing that caused our mold problem until I noticed it 3. They boarded up our laundry and bathroom exhaust vents, until I pointed it out. 4. They painted over our fireplace bricks when installing the mantle which was not requested nor inside the scope of work. 5. They bought the wrong insulation materials twice even though the brand was specifically listed in the contract 6. Materials were ordered late and delayed parts of the project 7. Siding repairs were mismatched for a different style that our HOA explicitly didn't allow. I had sent CSOVA our HOA terms. 8. They reattached our downspouts without the proper drain adapter (as it was before) 9. The brand new patio door they installed still leaked water after multiple repair attempts. 10. The work crew, on several occasions, breached the mold containment zone that the mold remediation company said not to breach. This list doesn't even include the lack of diligence on finish details that would indicate a professional install: wall and outlet plates not removed prior to painting (and when I did it myself for the 2nd coat, they were reinstalled immediately after painting before it could dry); a gallon paint can I supplied mangled to the point it had to be discarded; three different colors of caulk on the exterior of my door frame; mismatched screws on the hinges of a brand new patio door; a missing bracket on one downspout but not the other; different trim pieces for the same type of exhaust vent literally side-by-side; and probably more that Ive forgotten or yet to discover. All said and done, I cannot recommend CSOVA. I leave two stars because I do appreciate that Patrick always had a good attitude, was open to addressing the issues, and accommodating with scheduling. In the end, the work simply was not of quality without tremendous personal effort and time.

Construction systems attention to detail really helped our house come together. They completed the…read moreinterior finishes. The crown molding and trim really took our house to the next level. The color recommendations Patrick gave for wall/trim colors and fixtures were a subtle way to elevate and bring attention to the details, such as selecting pearl for the extensive crown molding to give it a shine. The shiplap ceiling and walls helped to create the airy, farm house feel we were aiming for. I took a lot of the design expertise of Owner Patrick. He recommended we add in the wainscoting to give the kitchen dining area an elevated, cozy feel. He also recommended we paint the ceiling and walls of the green room to give it a moody feel- At first I was skeptical but now cannot picture it any other way. He had the idea of combining the mudroom bricks with the shiplap walls- which is truly just dreamy... This house now exceeds anything I could have ever dreamed up. Patrick also gave multiple tile options and design ideas until we finally landed on our perfect match. I appreciated his willingness to work with my need to "see things" laid out before picking options. He provided multiple sample coats of paint options, laid the tile and floor choices next to each other so all I truly had to do was point my finger. The bathrooms now feel like I am stepping into a spa each day. Communication was huge as with any big project there are so many moving parts and changes, so I appreciated his quick responses and willingness to make adjustments as needed. While I have so many more positive things I could say, I will let their high quality work speak for itself with pictures.

When we moved to Virginia 25 years ago, we bought a house in Vienna. Needing to have the interior…read morecompletely repainted, we hired Dori Zampiello who was then starting to build his business. We were pleased with his crew and the work they did. 25 years later, needing exterior wood rot to be fixed and the house's trim to be painted, we thought again of Dori. His business has grown but his approach has not changed. The estimate that Scott and Pablo gave was thorough, Marvin and the crew showed up on time, worked tirelessly, were courteous, cleaned up after themselves, and did an outstanding job. Of course, as Dori led us to expect, the team discovered additional rot as they worked. I cannot overstate the diligence Marvin in particular brought to the task of identifying and fixing the rot. Dori's company is not inexpensive but it is worth every penny. We could not be more pleased about the work his team did or more enthusiastic about Dori and the company and culture he has built and maintained over time.

We have hired SR to do many things in our house - flooring, bathroom remodeling, garage dry wall…read morerepairs, etc . Their initial quote is always competitive, however, as the work makes progress, you will find many things that were not included in the original estimate. Therefore, if you're not knowledgeable enough, your final quote might end up being much higher than the initial estimate. For example: we paid almost 10K+ to remodel one room and they left one wall unfinished because they said it was not included (we thought it was). So make sure you have all the nitty gritty details written down in your estimate to avoid confusion later. Also, their work hasn't stood the test of time. We noticed many things have started to fall apart not too long after the work was completed - example : our LVP is peeling off in low traffic areas, leakage under the shower door and under sink, multiple door hinges have already broken, the floor has uneven spots despite paying extra to flatten it, etc. The work looks nice in the beginning but after a while you'll start noticing where they made compromises to make it "affordable". In terms of communication, they are pretty responsive. We haven't had major issues with Alexa, Sam, Camilo, Dan other than occasional misalignment between everyone.
