Last year we decided to get busy with a long list of renovations over which we had been…read moreprocrastinating for a very long time, the reason being the daunting challenge of finding the right contractor at a fair price. (We wanted the crew from the PBS series This Old House but they were not available.) After having several reputable local contracting firms provide estimates we settled upon Hand Construction. This decision was based upon what seemed to be a fair price, the quality of their work as we had observed at several sites in Fredericksburg, and the infectious enthusiasm of the man who was to be our point of contact and site manager, Jeff F. We hit the jackpot. Once we signed the contract, skilled and friendly craftsman of every variety began showing up and diligently setting to work, all carefully orchestrated along with the deliveries of material by Jeff. He closely managed the subcontractors and directly supervised much of the work. He visited our work site every day at least once without fail; and if we had a question or concern he was relentless in getting it resolved. We made changes to the scope of work and these were accommodated without issue. The project proceeded smoothly from start to finish with hardly a glitch. We were completely satisfied with the quality of the work which was completed on time and within budget. After six months, when one of the installed floors developed a slight problem, we contacted Jeff and he had the subcontractor on site that very day with the fix completed within a week. We are in no doubt as to whom we will call in future should we have more work. On the basis of our experience I cannot recommend Hand Construction too highly.

When I was ready to do a good overhaul, someone told me to call James House Paving. And he warned me - "this guy is busy, but he is good people to work with." I think he was absolutely right. James and his crew were well organized and highly professional on my little strip of driveway - they brought in enough equipment to do an exit-ramp on I-95! You could not help but be impressed, especially with all the guys just knowing what needed to be done next. The price was good and they were completely finished including cleanup and recovery before 5pm. They really did a great job and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

In March, we contracted with S&K to remodel our kitchen and lay down a new floor on our first…read morefloor. The delivery of kitchen cabinets were the primary driver to begin the process which were delivered in early April. The contract required the remodel to be completed between four and five weeks. On 22 April, the contractor began demolition which continued sparely throughout the week. On that Friday (25 April) we believed that the project would continue to move forward throughout the next week (the week of the 28th). Since no one showed up Monday morning, we contacted S&K and were told that nobody would be onsite Monday and Tuesday with no explanation. This practice continued off and on throughout the project which culminated in over 2 weeks of days when nothing was accomplished. This resulted in the period of performance to balloon from 4 to 5 to over 7 weeks. One of the outrageous claims was for 2 days that they didn't work because an unwarranted claim regarding my wife's heath. It appears that S&K is in need of significant improvement in the following areas: Communication: between the customer (not updating project process unless asked) and the S&K employees (arriving on site with no idea of current arrangements). Project Management: As described above, the project experienced many unproductive days. S&K does not seem to understand "project work arounds" when certain areas cannot be accomplished but other parts can. Quality Control: All project discrepancies/issues (plumbing, electrical and drywall) were identified by the customer and not S&K. S&K supervision never checked on site project status nor the quality of the work...both S&K and trade vendors.
