Mr. Darrick Harris License number: 2705093567…read moreCompany name: Dependable Home Improvements. I hired Mr Harris to install vinyl siding over one exterior wall of my house, install a exterior door, replace a exterior door, install a interior door, install one new and two replacement windows, Sheetrock a room, install a stud retaining wall, install lighting and it's wiring, build a set of exterior steps, install new flooring over the old floor which was to consistent of replacing the rotted plywood around the entrance with new plywood and installing a new layer of plywood on top of the solid old, over that was to be installed vinyl flooring. The work was done poorly, I repeatly tried to talk with him but all he did was blow smoke. Finally I just wanted him out of my house, never to return, so I paid him and went to repair and finish the work he had done so poorly. It was then that I realized just how badly he had done the work. On the advice of a different contractor, I contacted the county building inspector and asked for a inspection of the work. Of the work that required a permit and inspection, little of Mr. Harris's work passed inspection. If I read the inspection form correctly: No permit, no inspection of the exterior door No permit, no inspection of the steps. No permit, no inspection of the interior door. Upon inspection, all three of these areas failed to meet code and safety requirements and will have to be redone. The door was so poorly done, that now that winter is here, the wind blows around the door frame and door has gaps between it and the frame. Until I can get this redone, I've had to cover the area with plastic sheeting to stop the wind. No permit, no inspection of electrical work that included installation of lighting, wiring and switch. Mr Harris also does not have a license for electrical work. It was also found that while Mr. Harris told me he was a Class A contractor, he is in fact only a Class C contractor. Therefor, he wasn't license to do the amount of work he did. He also doesn't appear to have a business license to work in my county. Of the areas that didn't require a permit and inspection: The Siding: The vinyl siding was improperly installed and not completed. And I realized afterwards, it isn't even the same pattern as the rest of the house. Mr. Harris never told me this and the correct pattern is available at Home Depot, a store less then six miles away. The flooring: A section of the old sub-flooring had rotted and Mr Harris was suppose to remove and replace it with new plywood. The rotten flooring was not removed, and instead of plywood for the sub-flooring, the lower quality OSV was used. No underlayment was installed, so the flooring was laid on top of the bare OSV. The flooring itself was not installed per manufacturer's instructions and and is now coming apart. (The county inspector showed me what was suppose to have been done and wasn't) The replacement windows: The interior trim was removed for inspection. There was no flashing and no insulation installed. As a result, the wind blows freely into the house. I could keep going on, but will stop here with this: Nearly every part of Mr. Harris work was so poorly done, that nearly all of it will have to be redone."

Jamie and his crew just finished a bath remodel, it was done on a bathroom that had not been…read moretouched since the home was built 34 years ago. They completely gutted the room which included removing pealing wallpaper as well as removing a bathtub/ shower unit. A walk-in shower, new vanity, mirror/medicine cabinet, new flooring and all new molding were added. The sheet rock was repaired where needed primed and painted. Before we started this project we were a little concerned but Jamie and his guys eased those concerns, we could not be more pleased. Everyone was professional, kind as well as friendly and were always available to answer any questions. I would highly recommend this company for any project.

Chris had good ideas about how to increase storage space. The team was always on time and professional, and the work was finished on time and under budget.

The job was the renovation of a duplex house nearly 90 years old so that I could live in the lower floor and rent the upper floor. After a meeting with a plumber who sent an estimate for his part of the work in March, I heard nothing further. When I got back to Charlottesville in mid-June, he seemed to have no memory of the work I wanted done. He did meet with me once more bit didn't follow up on that meeting either -- nor of an appointment his partner was to make with me for another aspect of the work. When I called back Friday June 24th to to know why, I was told they had to meet over the weekend and would get back to me. They did, by e-mail on Sunday afternoon, saying "I didn't fit their demographic" and should get in touch with someone else (no name given -- just to call the plumber who'd given me the estimate because he knew other contractors. If I didn't fit their demographic, they could have told me in March as soon as they saw the house and heard what I wanted done so I had time to look elsewhere. I also find that telling a person that, basically, they couldn't spend enough money to make it worth their while to work for them, is extremely rude. It's so easy to say "Sorry we're all booked up for the timeline you mentioned and it would be better for you to find someone else." Don't even call these guys unless you are fabulously wealthy. They don't mess with us "common people".

On the contrary, my neighbors house now looks like a beautiful multimillion dollar home thanks to Grayson Place. The have their own painters, roofers, electricians, you name it.

We wanted to save money by buying our first house without a real estate agent. We started the…read moreprocess not knowing exactly what it might entail. The one thing we knew for sure was that we needed to collect the best information possible, so we could be confident, patient, and smart about the decision making process. Ultimately, this would result in the best possible outcome for our family. Fortunately, early in the process we ran into one of the most impressive people in the housing industry: Wayne Kelley of Kelley Brother's Construction!!!! My wife and I were going to buy a house from my sister's friend. We thought the inside was really nice and the outside just needed a little work. We loved the house and really wanted to buy it. Wayne did a real contractors report instead of a regular inspection. He drove an hour and a half to inspect the house and could tell in 10 minutes the house had a lot of issues without even going inside. He was so honest, that when I got there he immediately told me not to buy the house. He showed and explained to me why we shouldn't buy it. He even taught me what to look for in the future and said I could take pictures on my phone that he could analyze with a computer program ahead of time. I couldn't believe how many things he found just on the outside that we didn't notice. Based on the information, we immediately decided to bail on the house!! Wayne understood how we felt about the situation and didn't even charge us for the inspection!! I was absolutely blown away by his honesty, integrity, and professionalism. I could have paid for a regular inspector, but most of them don't pay enough attention to detail. Wayne paid extra attention to all the details and went the extra mile to help us. Two days later, my wife found another house. This time my father and I looked at the house a lot more carefully. It was in pretty good shape, so we scheduled an inspection with Wayne again. This time he said the house was in great shape, it just needed a lot of little things fixed. Wayne even took the time to coach us on how to negotiate the offer and the inspection report. Based on his advice and detailed report, the sellers agreed to fix everything on the list without a problem at all!! Wayne helped us with every aspect of home buying from start to finish. Based on Wayne's expert advice, we bought our first house without an agent and saved a whole lot of money, time, and stress!! Wayne will give you the leverage you need to get the best deal possible for your family's future. Overall, Wayne was more interested in helping us as people and empowering us with the information we needed to make a smart decision, than he was the money. If it wasn't for Wayne Kelley, my wife and I would have lost tens of thousands of dollars!! Instead, we learned a lot, saved a ton of money, and got an awesome deal overall.
