Everything about my experience with MsFixit (a division of Heritage Contracting Renovations) was…read moregreat! Tammy was responsive and informative in her e-mails; Burt, the handyman, was professional, kind, and did great work; and the pricing was fair. They were even able to get the work done a week earlier than originally scheduled because of an opening in their calendar. Burt did a really nice job with recaulking my shower and tub and providing helpful information about maintenance. I'm very pleased and will definitely look to hire MsFixit again in the future!

The crews are respectful, care about your home and the outcome of the job, paying attention to every detail. All projects have issues and when they happen, the crews and back office work professionally to determine the best path forward for everyone involved (not just the company). They work on their reputation and will go above and beyond to protect it. They won't be the cheapest, but if you believe "you get what you pay for" Talon is worth it.

If I could give Talon Construction more than five stars, I absolutely would. From the very…read morebeginning, the entire team was professional, coordinated, and incredibly knowledgeable. They somehow turned what is typically a very stressful process into a smooth and collaborative one. We interviewed nine contractors before choosing Talon for a full gut renovation of our home. Talon stood out immediately as the most professional and detail-oriented team we met. We first connected with Darren in 2023, and his depth of knowledge was apparent from the beginning. He pointed out practical design considerations and code requirements that other contractors had missed. We went back and forth on the scope for over a year, and he was consistently patient, responsive, and generous with his time. He never rushed us and always made himself available to answer questions. We started construction in August 2025-- The construction crew had an excellent work ethic. They arrived early and worked hard - something even our neighbors commented on. They took pride in their work and paid close attention to details. The workmanship was just excellent. The work site was consistently clean and organized. They did a great job at handling unexpected situations and communicating that to me. Eddie took the time to explain everything thoroughly before moving forward. Even when we made scope changes, they were flexible and incorporated those changes without making it feel stressful or complicated. And probably the thing that impressed me the most was that they ran the whole project with integrity. They uncovered an improperly vented dryer which was a fire hazard and promptly brought it up to code. There were other moments like this throughout the project- too many to fully capture here - that consistently reinforced how much they value doing things the right way. I have to mention Eddie who was incredible throughout the entire process. He was calm, responsive and communicated clearly. He seriously made the entire project enjoyable. They were fair and transparent when it came to pricing and change orders. But more than anything, what I appreciated the most was their integrity, professionalism and genuinely caring about doing a good job. Everyone- Ed, Paul, Darren, Eddie and the construction crew were top notch. We honestly couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. I would highly recommend Talon and would definitely work with them again!

Can no longer recommend!!!…read more I had Hotzople for over 7 years since I moved into my home. I am very very disappointed in how techs handle certain situations and actually found a MAJOR issue in open ductwork in unfinished basement that NO ONE from this company even bothered to look into or do any sort of testing to find out root cause....when I stated that my husband and I smelled musty, dusty smells and were affected by allergies, I was told 'this is normal' and nothing else. ???? You pay almost $400 for their better tier plan for HVAC service, and what you get is little to NOTHING. The tech barely does anything and if you state you have issues, they blow you off. Lazy!!!! I hired another company to install a new system, wasn't about to give this company anymore of my money. They found a cracked UV bulb that Hotzople had replaced, my filter area was jacked and should have been fixed a LONG time ago, and I today found an extra tubing coming off my duct in basement that was never capped off, thus rendering my entire system basically non functional -- at least very wasteful..... I cannot believe this has been for 7 years and Hotzople NEVER once checked for any duct work issues, or anything or ran any tests, I was systematically blown off, these guys do they BARE Minimum and ONLY care about collecting their yearly $s for maintenance. I highly suggest everyone EDUCATE yourself about HVAC before hiring ANYONE, these companies anymore have become greedy, they don't care. I was also told I had issues with my old system, but never was 'shown' WHAT those issues were fully. Trust is a BIG thing if you want to keep your company running....these guys 100% lost my trust and now someone else will be getting my money!

My…read moreown crew was tied up on other projects, and JZ Painting stepped in quickly with competitive pricing, quality workmanship, and a team that delivered exactly what I envisioned. Communication with the owner was exceptional from start to finish. No long wait times, no back-and-forth delays--just clear, prompt, and professional responses that made coordination effortless. What impressed me most was their ability to perform under extremely challenging conditions. With 25-30 mph wind gusts and a three-story exterior to paint, I fully expected delays. Instead, they performed absolute magic. Their precision, attention to detail, and commitment to getting the job done safely and correctly were remarkable. This project was for one of our premier rentals in Alexandria, and the final result looks fantastic. I would absolutely use JZ Painting again for future projects and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others looking for a reliable, high-quality painting crew. A+ service, craftsmanship, and professionalism.

Great place to wander around seeking the spirit-in-the-wood for inspiration. The staff are either woodworkers themselves or very knowledgeable -- and they are helpful and friendly.

Saturday's can be busy, weekdays are an ideal time to loose yourself in this very large warehouse of fantastic wood species! The location is easy to get to, and if you are hungry check out the Airport Inn! (Free tip!)
