As I had no experience in completing such an installation I turned to the contractors for help. After attempting to gain support from 3 other contractors, each of which promised to assist me but failed to call back, I turned to Lauten. The team at Lauten is extremely friendly and expedited the work, obtaining permits, and completing the project so that I could meet my deadline. I am very happy with the overall quality of the installation, and I will be using the company again for my other projects!

We hired Lauten Design & Construction for a multi-part renovation this spring 2019 (upstairs…read morelaundry room, custom mudroom, 2 new children bathrooms & playroom). It was the best possible renovation experience. Lauten is competent, meticulously honest, and great at staying in communication throughout the project. Drew and his team finished within our tight time frame, despite the fact that we added an exterior project partway through the renovation. Drew's process worked well for us - a few initial walk-throughs, then he brought in his designer to hear our needs and ideas, and she drew up floor plans while Drew created the detailed budget estimate. We sourced many things ourselves (light fixtures, vanities, tile, etc), and Drew was flexible and helpful during that process. Project manager Lisa is a dream to work with throughout the nitty-gritty parts of a renovation - great at keeping the crew and subcontractors on schedule, and readily responsive to all our texts and emails with questions or minor changes to the plan. Lead carpenter Mike and the rest of the crew were excellent, and had the carpentry skills to do several custom projects as part of the reno that give our home a craftsman feel, including adding built-ins in the closets, making a door for a unique linen closet, an old-fashioned transom window in the bathroom, and a beautiful solid wood shelf in our mudroom. We had a great experience working with Lauten and his team, and plan to use them for our next renovation project soon.

He even gave us lights on the stairs! His work is admired by family, friends, and even other licensed contractors we have working to complete other tasks. It was one of the best contractor experiences I've ever had!

We met with four businesses and carefully evaluated their offerings, services, quality of previous work, and costs. We ultimately chose the Deck Buddy primarily because of their professionalism, approach, and openness during the selection process. Doru was the primary point of contact throughout the entire process, and we chose to work with them because of his dedication, approach, and responsiveness. Every day, his team was punctual, courteous, and clean. They began on schedule and completed the entire project ahead of schedule. We are pleased with our deck and highly recommend his business and staff. Excellent work.

He's very meticulous, gladly came back out to touch up a couple trouble spots in the drywall (a bad seam I introduced when hanging the sheet!).

Also gladly answers questions and I already have him generating some quotes for other projects that I may need him to undertake this year.

As a contractor myself, I have high expectations--and JZ Painting exceeded every one of them. 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.
