They finally showed up several days later just hours before the deadline I gave them. No call no communication at all. There was another company on their way to give another estimate for the remaining work when they finally showed. But after the work was completed the owner would call/text several times a day looking for payment. So he clearly knew how to call and text just not when I was calling and texting trying to figure out why they were not showing up to finish the job.

Never got anything, waited a few days, still nothing. I sent a nice message, still nothing, wrote another nice message, still nothing. Then I wrote a not so nice message letting him know I will write about his customer service in a review. Guess what? I got a reply. They will not be able to provide service now. Because I am clearly not a nice guy. Judge this on your own. But I find this to be very unprofessional conduct and cannot recommend them to anyone. Sends very untrustworthy vibes and is disrespectful to potential customers. This guy will "just disappear" on you!

A R General Contracting, based in Manassas, boasts a talented, honest, flexible, and humble owner…read morededicated to building a trusted and sought-after business. With over seven years of experience and hundreds of satisfied customers, it's clear why they are so highly regarded. They completely remodeled my kitchen, repaired problems behind the baseboard in the living room, removed two built-ins, a closet and a short wall between the living room and the foyer, replaced lighting, painted and laid LVP flooring throughout all three areas. The owner's creativity shines through in their innovative ideas. For instance, they significantly transformed the living room by removing the built-ins and connecting wall, creating a spacious and open layout. This was a game-changer for me, and I would not have thought of it myself. When they finished, new LVP flooring covered every surface, and the walls were painted to perfection. A doorway between the kitchen and the garage was widened, and a new door installed. The closet and built-ins in the living room were completely removed, and all new cabinetry, a double wall oven, refrigerator, cooktop, sink, and pot lights were installed in the kitchen. The backsplash was exactly what I wanted. It is absolutely beautiful. To ensure a seamless match, the owner and their crew showed up with some used light fixtures from their warehouse, providing them at no cost. I will have them back to install new light fixtures in the living room when I have the funds. Amazingly, A R General Contracting completed the entire project in just three weeks! The owner's daily presence and the dedication of their crew ensured that every detail was meticulously executed. AR General Contracting does not start a job and then disappear to work on another job. They stay on the job until it is completed. Their prices are very fair. Payments are made along the way in a very reasonable sequence. There were no subcontractors - - they have all their bases covered with professionals on board. They can do anything that has to do with your renovation, plumbing, electrical work, painting, etc.. This was my first experience having renovations done and I was blessed to find A. R. General Contracting. We all have heard horror stories about working with contractors doing renovations. If you are thinking about renovating or doing anything else to your home, I would advise you to reach out to A. R. General Contracting and talk to them about your job. They are absolutely outstanding! Website: https://argeneralcontractingllc.com

BLUF: Customer Service and Professionalism was surprisingly disappointing despite other online…read morereviews. I couldn't even get as far as hiring the company for actual work. Simply based on the method of contact per their website and the return reply I received initially through a weird call and then through text, my confidence in the company shattered quickly. Miscommunication happens. I get that, so I decided to overlook the odd communication and unconventionally low-tech operational coordination and let them see whether they could & would help me out. I already knew it wouldn't be a tough job yet still needed help. I wanted to see whether they really are interested in providing service to those genuinely in need rather than only cherry-picking high yield jobs. The result? They failed in their interest to help as well. Zero follow-up...and I mean completely vacuous! From the scary observation of the drive up to my home & carelessly blocking my neighbor's driveway when parking...to the cold fish & flippant reply to a simple comment and inquiry while I explained the brief history of the issue, I remained completely unimpressed by this company. I am thankful that I was able to dodge a bullet when they failed to follow up because if they only demonstrate preferential selection for jobs (and wasting a customer's time when they have no intention of taking the job in the first place), then I say to you, the customer valiently doing your due diligence, be very cautious if selecting this company to do the work with which you need help. They may have been great at what they did during the company's prime years for some customers, however, now at the time of this writing, if you are a fan of both customer service and quality work, perhaps search elsewhere. If the company does not show well in their initial interaction, and in this case, following their second chance, they're likely not going to show well the rest of the time. While I very much dislike writing these types of reviews, consider yourself warned.

Josh from Alger Sheds was quick to respond and come out to provide an onsite estimate. Our project was unique in that our shed needed to be constructed onsite due to access issues. Josh was informative, non-pressure and detailed with the quote and build process. He spent time explaining the different options and pros/cons of each. Once we signed the contract with Alger, we were told about 5-6 weeks for the shed to be installed. Alger delivered and installed the shed in less than 4 weeks. On the day of the install they were on time, respectful of our property and left the job site clean. They completed our 10x16 shed in one day!! Alger is definitely not the cheapest but most definitely the best in the business. We would highly recommend Alger!!

UPDATE After posting my disappointment about their lack of…read moreresponse to my solicitation, I was rewarded with a written apology for the oversight in my behalf. Since I had already contracted my business to another contractor I did not immediately respond. But after a second inquiry asking for an opportunity to solve my issue I did respond that the job was already arranged with someone else. I am very pleased to know that the posting of my displeasure of their seeming disinterest precipitated a genuine response and willingness to correct what might have been simply a "dropping of the ball" I will consider Alger Deck and Fence in future for their help with similar transactions. I have increased my rating.

UNREASONABLE, UNEXPLAINED DELAYS: The estimated completion was 3 weeks from the start of work. It…read moretook them over 4 months from the time we signed the contract until they CLAIMED they were done, and that doesn't include the time they needed to revisit and correct poor workmanship. Their workers would disappear for a week or more at a time and I would never know when they were coming back. In the meantime, several rooms in my house were unusable, which created considerable hardship for my family. The contract says there may be delays due to material availability or weather, but all of the excuses combined cannot account for their chronic absenteeism. LIGHT INSTALLATION: The exterior light fixture they installed flickers from time to time. I emailed them about it on more than one occasion several months ago. They said they would take care of it, twice, but they never actually showed up to make the repair when they said they would. According to the contract, this problem should have been resolved under the warranty. TRIM: They removed a piece of trim and when they reinstalled it, they did it incorrectly so now the closet door in one of my bedrooms won't shut. INSTALLED WRONG SIZE WINDOW: They installed a window in my basement that was too narrow for the opening, which left a large gap around the edges that they just packed with foam and caulk. After I pointed out that it looked terrible they covered the exposed foam with plastic trim. They said that the window size was not available at Home Depot and they would have needed to order a custom window, which would have cost a couple hundred dollars more. The smart thing to do would have been to talk to me about it before installing a window that is the wrong size. I would have been willing to pay a bit more to get it done right, rather than fast and wrong. (Actually, it wasn't done fast either. The installation was delayed by weeks and the window is ALSO the wrong size.) PAINTING: When they paint, they can usually get the middle of the wall right, but when they get to a light fixture or door or window or built-in bookcase they get paint on the trim. They never use tape to get crisp edges. All of the places they painted in my house have wavering, inconsistent lines. There are multiple paint smudges on the white window/door/bookcase trim. I raised this issue with them multiple times and they made repeated attempts to correct the problem, but they could never seem to get it right. This is not the sort of "workman like" quality that was promised in the contract. I have painted rooms in my home and done a much better job, more quickly, and with no training. GARBAGE: When they departed they left a trail of trash and debris. For months I was finding construction debris, energy drink cans, candy bar wrappers, random work gloves, cans of paint, and pieces of scrap wood around my house. DRYWALL: They left a large gap between the drywall and the skylight they installed. They were going to leave it that way, until I asked them to fix it. They also left numerous marks in the joint compound on walls in my bathroom that they just painted over. I pointed out that it needed to be fixed to their quality assurance rep during his first inspection, but it was not fixed. I had to point it out a second time to get them to take action. In summation, Hambleton Construction is guilty of poor management, poor service, and poor workmanship. I would NEVER, EVER invite them back.

We have used Hambleton Construction for two distinct projects. The first was a carpentary job…read moreinvolving the installation of purchased cupboard, construction of a custom built storage unit, and constructiom of a custom built door to create a closed storage space in our attic. The installation of the purchased cupboard was perfect, and the custom built work was also very good. The second job was building a detatched double garage. The work was excellent and finishing matched to our house perfectly. The project was seamlessly managed and we relied on Hambleton construction to ensure successful completion of all aspects of the project. Small issues were immediately addressed as soon as Hambleton Construction was notified. Overall they were reliable, trust worthy, and did excellent quality work with very good customer service. I would recommend them and would certainly use them again for future projects.
