The Team showed great respect for us and our space throughout the project. The end result is a well-lit, beautifully-designed, and well-crafted kitchen that we are enjoying every day. We highly recommend NOVA Home Renovations.

We interviewed 6 different contractors to renovate our basement for aging in place, designated as…read morean ALU( Accessory Living Unit) in Fairfax county. We chose the Northwood construction, Inc. Their fee was reasonable, not the lowest nor the highest. We did not have to pay up to 10K for the designer fees as in other contractors' proposal. Tran, the Northwood designer, worked fast and diligently with all the drawings,dimensions,selections of cabinets,counter top,tiles,etc. We texted Tran very late in the evening or weekend with our concerns, questions. She always replied right away. To her, client's satisfaction is very important. Thumb up for her work. Charlie, the Northwood main staff for my basement project, is a conscientious, knowledgeable and hard worker. He meticulously put in all the needed wood blockings during the framing of the bathroom walls so he could install all the grab bars and the wall hung shower seat. So, as we get older and we must use the grab bars, we will feel safe because they were installed correctly to the blockings behind the walls. Our ALU passed all Fairfax county inspections. We truly appreciate Charlie's workmanship. Our basement project started and finished on time as planned. We are very please with the results.

Outstanding service and quality workmanship! From the moment I called Northwood Construction every…read moreperson we dealt with was incredibly personable, knowledgeable, and focused on our kitchen remodel. Bob Benedict, the owner of Northwood, has an extensive background in construction and is thoughtful in his approach. Whitney Simons is an incredible designer and problem solver when it comes to designing around tricky spaces. She is super organized, has a great design eye, and very responsive to any questions/concerns during your project. Dan Clark was our dedicated project manager and contact throughout construction. You would be hard pressed to find a more conscientious, detail-oriented, thoughtful, and experienced project manager/carpenter. Our project was a kitchen remodel and reconstruction of our back kitchen stairs leading to our basement. The remodel involved removing a wall between our old kitchen and dining, replacing the entire kitchen floor and weaving it into existing hardwood, replacement of 90+ year old stairs and reconfiguring our stair landing, installation of a full-house generator, and full replacement of the kitchen cabinets and appliances. Bob and Whitney spent a lot of time at the beginning of process talking and listening to me and my husband about our needs and wants for the new space as well as our expectations for the experience. They were genuinely interested in learning what our priorities were to ensure that their design and budget met our needs. Once we had a working plan for the kitchen and stair designs, Whitney and I met regularly to make product selections and finishes. Following the selections, Bob and Whitney provided us with a final budget and plan. Northwood's over all approach and process make it stand out from other design build firms. Firstly, they do not start work until all of your materials are delivered and in their warehouse. As a result, there are no surprise work stoppages because an item is back ordered or was late in being ordered. Secondly, they have a dedicated project manager for your project during the entire build. From soup to nuts, the same PM will be at your house every day and communicating with you regarding the daily work and upcoming schedule. If a sub-contractor is on-site, your PM will be there facilitating the entire appointment. Thirdly, the quality and professionalism of their sub-contractors is bar none. The electrician is incredible--he is so knowledgeable and really works with the homeowner to troubleshoot potential issues and make sure the final electrical plan really fits the homeowners' needs. The tile installer is an artist. His attention to detail and meticulous cuts really made our backsplash shine. We installed wallpaper on our ceiling and the installers were so gifted. Our house is nearly 90 years old, and the ceilings are not close to being square, but the installers did an amazing job. Finally, the Northwood team are so friendly and genuine you will be sad when the job is finished. It is clear they take a ton of pride in their work and strive to make the remodeling process as smooth as possible. For instance, they provide an induction plate and pots/pans to use during your remodel. We are over the moon in love with the final work product and kitchen. While we are glad to have a new kitchen, we do miss seeing and talking to the Northwood team. Without any hesitation, I highly recommend for any remodeling project you may have.

I love my new Master Bath!…read more This is the second time I have hired Ryan Reph for a major remodeling project, and I couldn't be happier. All the vendors he sent me to were top notch, the team was always on time. Communication was awesome, and I always knew who was going to be there, and what they would be doing. Ryan has been doing this a LONG time, and while he strongly feels that the customer is always right, he is also more than willing to break down the pros and cons of any decision. You make the decision, but Ryan is more than able to give you the benefit of his experience. I love the quality of the materials and the workmanship, and the value for the product cannot be beat. Clean up was very thorough, and they sent a man back just to go over any small items after the job was done (I was hard pressed to find any). I can't really think why I would hire anyone else.

Please note that this review is only based on the design and consultation steps of a bathroom…read morerenovation we tried to do with Ryan Reph Remodeling. We contacted Selwa Reph to come to our house and start the process for giving us an estimate to renovate a 10'x12' bathroom. While discussing what we wanted, I pointed out that because it will be the most used bathroom in the house, we want it to be more than just a basic job and were willing to spend some money to use higher-end materials and to please reflect that in the price estimates for the contract. I asked the same of her that I did the other companies who came in....please don't quote us the lowest price estimate for materials....we're not buying plain white tile from Home Depot, so please estimate for midrange materials so if we have the budget we can go for even nicer stuff, but don't budget for the low-end materials. We have not done a renovation like this before, so we had no idea what cheaper materials cost vs more expensive ones, so we were relying on her expertise. When we showed a picture of a shower with glass tiles, we asked Selwa how those materials would change the prices quoted in the contract and she said it would be a difference of a few hundred dollars. We signed with Reph Remodeling and they gave us a price range of $8/SqFt for tiles to work with. They also sent the specs for the job to Architectural Tile and Ceramic in Vienna. When my wife and I showed up there to select tile, grout, flooring, etc., out of all the selections in that store, there was about 1/4th of one small bin that let us pick from about 20 basic porcelain tiles in that price range (see picture). With such a pathetic selection, we went ahead and picked out tiles we liked in the $16 price range. What had been an $1,850 allowance ballooned to a $5,920 estimate from Architectural Tile and Ceramic. And that amount was based on the contractors discounted prices! When I spoke with Selwa Reph about her estimate for $8/SqFt, she defended it and said I should have been able to find something in my price range there but said she would call the salesperson and review the quote they had provided us. She also claimed she specified the "difference of a few hundred dollars" for glass tiles was only in reference to the construction cost...not the added cost of the tiles which she did not mention or use to adjust her estimate of $8/SqFt....why didn't she add in the change in the cost to materials as well? When we went to another tile shop to redo the entire process of selecting materials, the manager of the store immediately caught an error on the original quote from the other store that added on over $1,300 to the quote; calling for a whole palate of 50 lb bags of thinset......56 bags in all....2,800 pounds of thinset for a 10'x12' bathroom. The other tile shop said we would need 4 bags at most. The total from Architectural Tile and Ceramic was still way over Selwa's estimate of $1,850, but a huge glaring error that should stand out to a company that works with this all day every day. When I asked Selwa about this error, she admitted that she did not actually review the order with the sales rep and just never caught the error. It was after bringing this issue up along with pointing out my displeasure about the lowball pricing estimate that Selwa Reph decided to terminate the contract and returned our deposit. While they get great reviews and I have no basis for commenting on the demo & construction team, they are not cheap so we expected better results at all stages of our interactions with them. If you decide to work with them, just be skeptical of the materials pricing unless you already know exactly what you're going to have them install and then make sure you have someone else review the order for materials accuracy. I will note that the contractor we wound up going with wound up costing less, immediately verified the estimates from the tile supplier and went over our selections to make sure he understood what we wanted so he could give us the most accurate estimate which wound up being within $150 of the final total for materials.

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.

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.

I had them do the full kitchen renovation (new cabinets, counters, OTR microwave + reinstallation of appliances). And then followed up with a bundle discount to add in new carpet for the entire place. Replacing missing carpet on first floor and the whole upstairs. I believe the price was still outstanding for what I got. They subcontract out the work, but they get discounts from their subcontractors which they pass on to you. Everyone I worked with throughout the whole process (well, I have no complaints) they all did excellent and I felt comfortable the whole way. (Lastly) he has followed up afterwards to help with handyman tasks and some minor touch up tasks. I believe the price for those all still great. I recommend Dominic and crew from Green and Gold for any and all projects. Def very happy I found them. I will be going to them first for pretty much any home repair needs going forward.
