We lived here for about 4 - 5 months and there was a horrible smell I don't know for sure if it…read morewas mold or what it was but it was making me sick and felt like I couldn't breathe and my husband was the same way. I was sick enough that I had to go to the emergency room. Finally the office sent maintenance up to check it out and they let us out our lease and gave us back our deposit minus $50 because they said we left trash and they had to throw it out which wasn't true and I still have the pictures I took when we clean right before we left. We did however left some kitchen items that I completely forgot until about 2 days after we had moved. I called several times, got no answer, went down to the office twice, door locked and No one came when we knocked. So what they said was trash and changed us for was actually my brand new kitchen items most of which we had never used so I'm sure they didn't throw anything in the trash. I tried calling because I wanted to come pick up the things I'd accidentally left. Anyway, I liked the place but the mold or whatever was more than we could take.

I'm from Winchester, VA but live in New York currently. Going back to my roots, I wanted to…read morepurchase a house on the North Fork of the Shenandoah River, where property does not frequently turn over. After a futile internet search, I came across Craig's profile via a web search and decided to give him a try, not expecting to much (I'm fairly cynical). As it turned out, engaging Craig was the smartest thing I could have done. Having grown up in the valley, he knew the entire area far better than anybody I had talked to and helped me come up with a strategy for what areas would match my goals, and quickly built a list of available properties. Importantly, he helped me prepare for each of the properties and accompanied me in reviewing them. After the search yielded no perfect matches, Craig suggested I shift gears and look at property instead of a pre-built house. Shortly after we changed our tack, he told me he had found "the place for me" based upon our multiple interactions. He was 100% correct; within a day of seeing the property, I ended my search and put in a bid. Craig's service didn't stop there, however, as he helped me navigate the counter-bid process, draw up documents, and go through all the recommended steps from survey to inspecting the existing well and septic tank. It's hard for me to articulate how helpful he was, given that I was purchasing this property from a distance. His onsite diligence, friendliness, and thorough approach meant that he was doing most of the heavy lifting and was making sure I was comfortable with each step in the process. And, more importantly, he found me exactly what I wanted! I highly recommend him to anybody who is interested in purchasing in Virginia, and consider myself lucky for randomly stumbling upon him.

I chose Craig as the listing agent when I needed to sell my parents' home in Front Royal. He had…read morebeen referred by several people in the area and soon I discovered what a good choice I had made. Before it could be listed, the house needed numerous renovations including all new carpeting, complete interior painting and cleaning. Since I live in another state, I imagined I would be doing a lot of commuting to find local contractors and painters and to oversee all the work. Much to my surprise and delight, Craig handled everything. He made all the arrangements with reliable and quality contractors who performed a wide variety of tasks to get the house ready for the market. When finished, it looked even better than when it was new. There were quite a few surprises along the way and Craig good-naturedly took them all in stride. At one point, he even brought his own dehumidifier to the house to deal with high humidity in the basement. Craig maintained good communication and frequently updated me on the status of the work being done. Once listed, the house sold quickly. Craig is trustworthy, knowledgeable and hard-working. I greatly appreciate his expertise, time and efforts to make the sad business of selling my parents' home a completely positive experience. In addition to all that, Craig is personable and a pleasure to work with - I highly recommend him!

When I called them, I told them that I just talked to them on yelp and said it was about pumping my tank because it's backed up from all the rainwater. And the representative said "no we don't do that." I said my question specifically asked you if you do that on the yelp message and you said you did.

We hired First Response Chimney for several big jobs on our 1901 farmhouse and guest cottage, and I…read morecan't recommend them highly enough. The main project was installing a new Blaze King wood stove, including a new chimney crown and relining the chimney with an insulated stainless steel liner. They also repointed and repaired the cottage chimney, relined it for a woodstove, and repointed the main house chimney. With a wood stove or fireplace, the peace of mind is everything. I never had a single doubt that the work was done safely and to code, and that's worth a lot when it's your home on the line. From start to finish they were extremely professional, reliable, and clearly knew exactly what they were doing. They also went above and beyond on the logistics. The cottage work was tricky to schedule because we had Airbnb guests booked that we couldn't cancel, and they worked around our calendar completely. They even cleaned up mid-job so the space was guest-ready at check-in. At one point the cleaners they'd lined up bailed, and the owner, William, himself drove out on a Saturday morning to handle it personally and did an incredibly thorough job. The repointing deserves special mention. A previous owner had carelessly patched the historic chimney with Portland cement, which is the wrong material for an old home. First Response ground it all out and redid it in lime mortar, matching the original and restoring it the period-appropriate way. It looks like it should- like it was never touched. And they fully cleaned up after every job.

I cannot recommend First Response Chimney Stove and Fireplace enough!! I had an existing fire place…read morethat was not cutting it with heating my house. My heat pumps were constantly running, driving my electric bill up like crazy. I purchase a brand new Hearthstone Heritage wood stove from First Response. The install was seamless. They showed up on time, made sure to move anything that would be dirtied or damaged in the process and even laid down mats to protect my hardwood floors. The workers themselves were professional and presented themselves as such. They went above and beyond to make sure the linear I purchased was insulated and securely fastened. I know I can sleep well at night knowing my family is safe and warm now!! Thank you First Response!!!

I hate moving! Called College Hunks and from that moment, they took all the stress away. I…read moreordered 2 pods to store all our furniture while our house is being built. Hunk Manager came out and did a walk through to see how many hunks I would need to get my 3 level home packed. When the day came, 4 hunks showed up on time, and got to work wrapping and packing. Matt the leader was polite, adorable, professional and a true hunk. All 4 worked as a team and in 5 hours, both pods were packed floor to ceiling. I was so happy I made them all lunch. If I may make a suggestion, please at least have cold water for these men. They work so hard and sweat in this heat...be human and treat these hard working men as you would like to be treated. Ice cold water, I even put out cold watermelon to keep their sugar up while they continued to work extremely hard. I am definitely hiring college hunks when my house is finished, to unpack both pods moving all my furniture into my new house. Thank you College Hunks for making my move stress free. Jamie

I had F5 do two jobs for me over the past 2 years. First, they cleaned the upper windows of my…read morehouse. On these jobs, done each year, they did a perfect job on my large windows (floor to ceiling). No streaks. Their price was great beating any other quotes I got. The second, and more complex job, was installing gutter guards. I reluctantly hired them as I have had gutter guards installed on two of my houses since about 2010 and one going back to 1992 and none were satisfactory. Fallen leaves continued to block my gutters each year. So, I was surprised that now, two years later, the gutter guards they installed have worked perfectly meaning no annual cleaning was necessary (they are still as clean as the day they were installed). This was particularly spectacular given that my current house is surrounded by trees (I live one block from a trail head into Shenandoah National Park and leaves cover the ground around my house each Fall to a depth of at least 2-3 inches). In short, the F5 gutter guards are the only ones out of the four I've had installed on my homes that actually worked. The other three were just a complete waste of money.
