So I went through Home Advisors since I used them in the past for other stuff. Two by Four owner I'm guessing Gary emailed me and said they would swing by and take a look and quoted me the price and a time frame they would arrive between 730-8 and they were right in time!!!!! I also appreciate that they didn't give me a four hour window. The guys were professional and courteous and the cost was $225. But I did check around and that seems to be within ranges. I have to see what else they can fix!

He quoted us a very fair price, showed up on time, brought his own supplies, worked through all billable hours, and totally cleaned up after.

We have already discussed having him come out and redo some of our 10 year old decking pieces that need replacing in the Spring.

I got an early Christmas gift from my neighbor when his water heater tank burst and a bunch of…read morewater leaked into my condo unit. It was definitely a stressful situation, but Lee was very helpful and responsive to my questions and requests. Although Lee did not perform the job himself, Ivan and his team came out to repair the drywall and replace the carpet. Ivan was really great - he was courteous and efficient throughout the whole project, which took about 1.5 days to complete. Some highlights were: 1) The crew was able to start working almost immediately after I called Master's Construction. 2) Ivan worked very hard to find the closest match to my existing carpet. It sounded like he was checking out quite a few places until he found someone all the way in Richmond that had our carpet! (FYI, I live in Falls Church.) 3) Ivan ended up re-painting all the walls of my bedroom to ensure that the paint color was consistent throughout. Per my request, he also left behind the remaining bucket of paint so that I can use it again in the future. Thank you for all your help, Ivan and everyone at Master's Construction!

I hired Precise Remodeling to install a pocket door and flooring. We received a really reasonable…read morecost for both, however decided to go with a family friend on flooring so it was slightly cheaper but not by much. We chose to hire Marian for Pocket door. Marian honored his price even though we didnt choose him for flooring. He rearranged his schedule to accomodate mine. He and his colleague came out the following day earlier than expected. After walking through the project for over an hour before getting started, it was determined that the goal I wanted wasnt going to work. Marian gave me recommendations and left without charging me for his time. I felt bad so I asked if he can move the floors upstairs. After he finished moving floors he said I dont have to pay him if I dont want to. Never have I seen a contractor as honest as Marian and turn down a payment. I will definetly call him for future projects.

I had three estimates for the painting of my downstairs and hallway in my condo. I chose this…read morecompany based on the lower price I was given and the family atmosphere that I am comfortable with. Plus: They were fast, and were always in communication with me over what I needed done originally and when they had to return for some touch ups. Like I said above, the price was much lower than the competition and their scheduling fit my work schedule. Minus: This is where I hit some issues... 1. They were a bit sloppy with the clean up. The three times they were out to do the work, cleanup towels were left behind on the floor and general trash was left behind that I had to pick up (drink cans). These are big issues, but it's nice to come home after work is done and see a clean living space. 2. Originally they were to make repairs to the drywall, but on both occasions for the original work and the follow up these were not made. There were two spots that were to be addressed and even after I asked them to come back and make the repairs, they did not do so. 3. There were a few spots with paint "glob marks" and it is very obvious that it was done haphazardly when applied. More importantly, on my wall there is a small utility box and the way the paint was applied will force me to do it all over. It looks as if someone went around the box with a brush and let it dry, then painted around that area. You can see the different paint color and finish from across the room and is something that is very distracting to the eye. 4. I asked them to come back and make a few of the corrections, but for the most part the issues I wanted addressed were never done so. I even put tape on the places that needed to be redone and when I returned, the tape was still there and nothing was actually done. I would use this company again, but only because of the price. The work they did was great, but when you do some investigative work and look up close, you can see the problems. Some of the cosmetic issues are just that, cosmetic, but I know that someone who is more critical than I am would have never allowed these issues to remain. Note: I will upload pictures when I return home.

Tel (703) 708-7991 https://www.zeinounrenovation.com/ I have been dreaming and saving for my new kitchen for years. It was quite a big project since I wanted to remove the wall between my kitchen and dining room, move the gas line and plumbing, close a small window, and install hardwood floors on the whole main floor instead of wood, carpet and tiles, which we previously had. Tony listened to my ideas and requests and was able to perfectly execute my vision. The whole renovation project has been stress free as Tony took care of every permit, timely order of all materials ( all excellent quality), paid attention to every detail and was patient when I asked for small modifications. He made my dream kitchen come true. I strongly recommend his services and would definitely use again in the future for other projects. Tony is very experienced, professional and reliable.

Met with this contractor to request a quote based on reviews. Professional response, automated…read moreconfirmation, arrived on time. It appears my 10K budget for labor was too small a project - which is fine. However, the contractor did not intend to respond after the initial site visit. I had to follow up to request an update on the quote which is when he responded: The way I see it it will cost a bunch of money and I'm not sure you are willing to have that conversation. Am I wrong? How can you negotiate without providing a quote? Poor customer experience to say the least. Contractors need to understand our time is just as valuable as yours and that customer experience matters as much, if not more, than anything else. Customers can handle it if the contractor is not interested in the job. It's rudeness we object to.

From start to finish, their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly detail-oriented. They took great care to prep their work area every single day and kept everything covered, which made a huge difference in controlling dust throughout our home. They also stayed right on schedule and completed the work within the timeframe they originally promised. What really stood out was their expertise--they offered thoughtful recommendations on improvements and changes that truly elevated the project. We've been so impressed with their work that we've already asked them for quotes on installing new windows and demoing our kitchen and half bath. We highly recommend Triple State Construction to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality work!

I hired this company to redo a shower stall. Because they were already going to be doing concrete…read morework in the shower stall, I pointed out two, small, hand-sized areas of concrete that needed patching on my balcony. The owner Chris, said he would not charge me because it was negligible. I was happy that they were a good faith company who wouldn't nickel and dime me. Boy, I turned out to be wrong on that! Their work in the shower was just alright. It required a second pass to fix some lines that were not quite straight and they offered to fix it. The shower was substantially less work than initially scoped. The estimate was for a much larger job than needed to be done to fix the shower. I expected to get a discount on the initial estimate. Chris discounted me $200. I agree to pay him the full estimate minus $200 for services not rendered in the initial estimate. After the job is complete, Chris suddenly springs me with an additional charge of $100. He wants to charge me for the balcony patches, which were two child's hand-sized areas. This was quite irritating because not only did they not have to do as much of a job on the shower as they initially thought, but he was going to flip-flop on his initial word that he wouldn't charge me for patching the balcony concrete. He began harassing me via e-mail, using adjectives like "ridiculous" and questioning my character. This was extremely unprofessional and uncalled for. Within a couple of emails he began threatening to take out a lien on my property. That sounded odd to me, like he was bullying and on an anger trip rather than negotiating like a regular contractor. A lien on my property for a dispute over $100? Sounded unreasonable. I would have gladly paid the $100 if he had been honest with the charge up-front, or if he had sent me a change order in writing saying that the balcony patching would take more effort and he wanted to charge for the balcony. It was neither. The patches were tiny and he did much less work in the shower than he initially expected to have to do. It seemed like he was extorting me for additional money after the work was complete because he felt he could get away with threatening me, or because he didn't really like the fact that he had to do a second pass on the shower floor to get it right. I began talking to my condo building manager about this contractor. I learned that he fired one of his workers who was known for doing outstanding work on bathrooms, then threatened him physically if he ever worked on remodeling any of our building units. In short, this guy is trouble. Like the other reviewer also noted, he changes price quotes in the middle of a job or after the job is done, and gets nasty and short-tempered. There are a ton of contractors out there, save yourself a headache.

If I could give 0 stars I would. Lofft Construction was recommended to us by some neighborhood…read morefriends. Alex came to our house and gave us an estimate to repair our front steps and told us they would last a very long time. A few days later, his workers showed up, unannounced, asking what they needed to do. I told them I have no idea, and my husband is not home, and to coordinate a time with him. A few days later (on a Sunday), they showed up unannounced again! My husband was out again! They asked me to pick a paint color and I asked if that is included in the price we were quoted and they said they didn't know. As I was trying to figure that out, it came out that they don't think repairing the stairs is a good idea and they can't even guarantee they won't break again for even 3 days. I asked if it would be a lot more expensive to redo the whole thing and they said it would be exponentially more expensive. I told them we'll talk to Alex and get back to them. 30 minutes later, Alex calls my husband screaming at him! He told him that we shouldn't ask his contractors about prices and that he doesn't work that way and that we should find someone else to work with and hung up the phone on my husband! He was literally screaming at my husband on the phone. And then hung up on him. There are so many issues with our experience starting with the fact that the workers kept showing up without prior notice and asking a lot of questions as if they didn't know what they were supposed to be doing. And then of course the fact that he was trying to scam us into doing something that he knew might not even last the week. And then finally, calling my husband and screaming at him and hanging up on him because his workers were asking us a lot of questions?! It's just been an atrocious experience. I recommend avoiding him at all costs. UPDATE: Alex is now threatening my husband over text messages because of our review. We are just stating facts. He said we are inappropriate to contact him on a Sunday when it was his contractors who showed up at our doorstep, unannounced, on a Sunday, and we were just calling to clear things up with him because they had no idea what they were supposed to do and were asking me a lot of questions. He also accused us of trying to strike a deal with his subcontractors, something that didn't cross our minds for one second. We were just trying to figure out if the paint his contractors were making me choose was included in the estimate he provided us.

Alex was helpful and responsive in coming to my home, talking me through the process and promptly providing a quote. Lofft was not the cheapest estimate I received but based on my meeting with Alex and previous reviews, I decided to hire them for my work. Very happy with my decision.
