The "main number" I texted apparently is answer by Mike sometime and his office manager Stephanie other times. Problem is they dont communicate with each other very well, if at all. Based on convo, was talking to Mike for a couple of days. Needed, what i thought, was simple furniture assembly for an armoire purchased from Wayfair. He quoted me a rate of $125 per hour. Sent him the assembly video and confirmed it would require two people given the size of some of the pieces. Appointment day rolls around and only one worker is sent. Texted the main number and Stephanie replies. Rescheduled for another day and the worker comes back with his teenage son Now, according to the Wayfair website and reviews by other purchasers, one buyer and his 14 yo son managed to do the job in 4 hours. Wayfair estimates it takes a handy homeowner 6 hours to complete the job. took Mike's "professional" and his helper 8 hours to do the job. Was never told the rate went up to $175 for the 2nd person involved. so an $1100 purchase cost another $1400 to assemble using Mike 's guy and his teenager. Was never given an estimate of how long it would take based on the video provided. Was never told of the higher rate -- just "Furniture assembly is $125 per hour). Problem is, VA law requires a licensed contractor to provide a written estimate of the cost of the work undertaken and a timeframe for completion neither were provided, yet he is still insisting on full payment of $1400. No discount for wasting our afternoon when he failed to send 2 workers the first day, no discount for a teenage worker. No considerations for the fact no estimate was ever provided. If the VA board of contractors says I should pay $1400, Ill pay $1400. But not paying a penny till they weigh in on his practices.

My house in Albemarle County needed a new roof so I solicited bids from three contractors. Gary @…read moreVanguard Roofing was by far the quickest to come visit my house to see my needs. During the visit I particularly enjoyed Gary's in-depth evaluation of my current roof and how he would avoid some of the pitfalls in its installation if he were to replace it. Unfortunately, the other contractors took up to a month for their visit, which delayed my decision. Eventually, I chose Vanguard in no small part due to my experience with Gary. While he had left me some shingle samples after his initial visit, I chose to visit Vanguard's office in Madison to see more samples and discuss options with him. Originally, I had considered a shingle roof though I ultimately chose a metal one because of its appearance and durability. I also requested new skylights, gutters, and gutter guards. Gary warned me that while my roof could be replaced with a shingle one in a couple of days, replacing it with a metal roof one might take up to a couple of weeks. I was concerned that an intervening rainstorm might result in water leaking into my house after the shingles were removed but before their metal replacement was in place. Gary assured me that the water barrier that he'd install immediately after removing the shingles would prevent that. That assurance was severely tested as there were several significant rain and snow storms during the installation period. But there were no leaks. Ultimately, it took about five weeks for the installation due mainly to the snow storms that halted installation while we waited for the snow and ice to clear. Finally, the installation was complete and the roof looked great! The gutters looked pretty good too though I didn't like how the new black gutters interfaced near ground level with the white tops of my existing, mostly buried drainage system. I pointed this out to Gary during his final post-installation inspection and he responded that he wanted me to be happy and would make it right. A day later, one of his people returned and extended the black gutters completely into the ground, interfacing with my existing system below ground level and out of sight. Now the gutters looked great too! As nature would have it, the following spring we had a significant storm that dumped 1/2" hail on the roof. (We rarely get such storms.) Other than a lot of noise there was no damage to the roof and it continues to look great. There is no "oil-canning" anywhere on the roof that you sometimes see on other metal roofs. So count me as a very satisfied customer.

This morning, Vanguard Roofing graciously responded to my call for help on a comparatively small…read morebut time-sensitive project. All eleven gutter downspouts needed extensions to direct the water flow from days of rain further away from the foundation. Vanguard Roofing sent two men out to determine the best way to solve the problem. Within three hours they had both professionally, esthetically and cost effectively remedied the problem. If I should ever have a future need for roofing and/or gutter repair, Vanguard Roofing will be at the top of my list to contact. HY

Very disappointing, expensive and time-consuming experience overall. The original quote to repaint…read morehouse was reasonable and we wanted to go with a local small business. Owner seemed great and crew was very friendly and hard working. The job started well but then the first work showed obviously inadequate prep, like painting over old peeling paint and failing to repair or replace pieces of trim that needed to be fixed and that were included in the original specifications. Got that done or redone but then for painting trim around windows they issued a new quote, which nearly doubled the cost of the job and made it more expensive than the competing quotes for more established companies. We went with it anyway because we needed the work finished and didn't have time to find a new painter. But this all dragged on for months, with the crew only present for short periods, and only showing up when specifically badgered to do so. Even now, about 7 months in they still have debris all over the place (though much we've had to clean up ourselves), including empty paint cans and broken glass from several storm windows that they broke in handling, or that broke after falling because they were reinstalled improperly (with others left off entirely). They also failed to fix siding damaged presumably while power washing, and left a substantial part of the original job unfinished despite promising it's completion for months, with a portion of the house still draped in tarp to keep out weather. At this point they seem to have ghosted us entirely, despite regular friendly enquiries and reminders. So all in all this seems to have been a big mistake and we are back to hunting for someone who will take on a relatively small and unappealing job that we still just don't have the time to do on our own.
