NB: Should be a 4.5, but that's not an option here…read more Our renovation project involved putting in an all-new kitchen and powder room, plus refinishing floors, replacing lighting, and repainting living room/dining room/family room/hall on the same (relatively open plan) level and some relatively minor exterior work. Project included electrical and drywall work but no structural changes. Mold removal wasn't originally part of the project, but, when a problem was discovered, it was handled thoroughly and expeditiously. The good: Overall, the finished project looks great and all the changes we made to our kitchen/main floor work well. Coordination between the design and the construction teams was good and we ended up working with great people on each side. Colleen, who helped us with kitchen design, was very good at laying out/generating alternatives and flagging pros and cons. She was focussed on our objectives and kept working until they were met. Fabricio held down the fort on the construction side. In addition to being a skilled craftsman with high standards, he is someone who is always looking for ways to make things better. He thinks ahead and has a problem-solving mindset. We always felt that he was treating our home the way he would his own. What fell short of perfection: probably worth bearing in mind that this was our first renovation project so it's not a comparative assessment. We've heard other peoples' horror stories and our issues were minor/mostly resolved in real time. That said, two pieces of advice: (1) Make sure the designer you are working with is a good match. If not, ask for someone else. Landis has multiple designers on staff. (2) If you are moving out for renovations, give yourself a cushion (more than a month on each end) wrt alternative arrangements for housing.

The value of our house has significantly increased. Dana Kaminsky, the team leader, was a pleasure to work with. She has a great personality, cares about her clients, and brings a tremendous amount of value to her projects. Maurice Brown, the project manager, was very responsive and ensured the quality of the work met Landis standards. I felt that all the employees that worked on the project were professional, respectful and dedicated to doing quality work.

Their demolition, repairs, and cleanup were all done with great care and professionalism. They knocked down our closet, created a beautiful archway between the hallway of kitchen/dining room, and are now working on leveling the floors. Every team has their pros and cons, but what stands out is their honest communication, strong work ethic, and dedication to doing the job right. They are always willing to listen to feedback and improve, and we really appreciate that. We highly recommend him and his team for any home renovation work. We plan to continue working with them in the future as well. Attached are photos of their amazing work, not complete as we are planning to paint it later and update photos once all is done!

From start to finish his integrity and can-do approach to problem solving exceeds all expectations. Design, follow up and execution all above par!!! Harry and his team will not disappoint.

We're very pleased with the work that Ricky, Dicky, and Wilson did. They're clearly professional, experienced and tidy, which we really appreciated. We would give 5 stars for that part of the job. However, communicating with Harry Braswell Concierge was dicey at best both before the job started and after it was completed. We repeatedly had to ask for details about what to expect and the start and end dates, and final payment information. We only stuck with the effort because the team was highly recommended by a respected source. We strongly recommend the workers with this team for wall repairs and painting; hopefully, with better communications from the office.

The project was to add a master suite that had a handicapped accessible bathroom to the ground…read morefloor of our home. A deck was also part of the plan. The owner of the business, Kelvin Pierce, came to our house multiple times to discuss changes that we wanted. He was patient with us, and always polite and businesslike. His wife, Susan Pierce, was the architect. Her ingenious plan made it appear that our addition was always part of the house. It turned out beautiful with the bricks from the side of the house being used on the front of the new wing. Otherwise, new bricks never would have matched. Vicki Cecchetti was in charge of ordering bathroom selections, lighting, and other customized options. She was always "right on it" with expertise and knowledge. She gave us options and alternatives to stay "in budget." Dave Porto was the production manager and had a wealth of knowledge about building homes correctly. He checked in periodically. Melvin Menjivar was the on-site project manager. He was creative and unflappable. He went the extra mile to please us and do things correctly. His attention to details was superb. He should be rewarded for his excellent customer service and expertise. Anyone would be lucky to have him as their project manager. Melvin was cooperative in applying any small changes that we asked for. Some changes, however, we had to pay extra for. An example is a light switch on each entrance into the walk-in closet. We only had one switch in the contract. The project started two weeks late because of inspection delays, but finished in ninety days, as planned. Everyone from the carpenter, to the plumber, to the electrician, did their jobs competently and efficiently. The company has skilled and courteous employees, who cleaned up the work site each day. I experienced a disappointing construction project with another local company, so really appreciate when the job is done quickly, as planned. I initially had "sticker shock" with the price, but now understand why the addition cost so much because of the complexity and coordination needed, as well as the number of workers with their specialty skills. I highly recommend this company. Our project didn't intrude much on our privacy, as we had a door between the new wing and our space. The crew were like "family" --they were so considerate and friendly. The owners made sure that their workers had regular working hours and time off on weekends, which says a lot for their work ethic and fairness to their employees.

My husband and I have never found a contractor better than Commonwealth...and we should know. Over…read morethe 25 years since Commonwealth put a major addition on our house in Herndon, VA, we have worked with at least 10 contractors in 4 different states. None could beat Kelvin and Susan, and most couldn't even come close. We wish we could have convinced them to move with us every time we needed to do a home renovation or construction project. Every contractor we've worked with since 1997 has had to listen to us say repeated times, "Let me tell you about this firm we worked with in Virginia" and then we launch into an often extensive tale of the kind of service, care, attention to detail, reliability, and just plain helpful advice throughout the process that we got from Kelvin and Susan. Our favorite story? How Commonwealth's crew dismantled virtually the entire back wall of our house (which included the living room wall, where a 13-year-old's slumber/birthday party was taking place), installed a steel beam, then completely framed the two-story addition, and had it sheathed and under roof--in one day! To this day, my husband wishes he'd bought a keg, set up chairs, and invited the neighbors over to watch--the crew worked like fine choreography and the foreman RAN the entire day. Not only was every bit of the work top notch but the crew protected our slumberers and the rest of the house. Yes, we lived in the house during the entire construction process--something, I realize now, was made possible only because of Susan's and Kelvin's careful planning, and their thoughtfulness in understanding/adapting to our situation (I was running a business--with 3 employees--in one of the rooms that was getting enlarged and whose back wall was removed that day). Now we find ourselves deliriously happy that a contractor at least tells us when the workers are not going to be there; with Kelvin, we never had to guess because he made sure the workers were ALWAYS there. I'm writing this 25 years later because that 13-year-old is now building an addition on her house in Northern Virginia and asked me for recommendations. Can you guess the only name I've offered her?!
