We live in an historic home and Jeff and his crew have painted the exterior and interior of every surface at this point. This has included painting new construction, as well as detailed work on the older sections including stripping siding down to the wood, reglazing windows, repainting historic shutters and rehanging with historically accurate hinges, etc. The crew is considerate that it is your home and everything is left clean. He is the only painter I have ever used since I found him because he pays so much attention to the quality of the whole job, especially proper prep. Before Jeff, I had dealt with a lot of painters who didn't show, cut corners in prep, left a mess, or didn't accurately estimate a job. Jeff's business is well run and he takes great pride in his work and it shows!!

We hired Carlos and his crew to remodel our master bathroom. They did a great job and really came…read morethrough for us in many respects. The team rebuilt our shower to remove a leak, tiled the shower, the toilet area and the floor of the bathroom and executed our design perfectly. Maybe one of the best compliments I can give is how easily they adapted to issues along the way. For example, when the main water valve to the whole house showed signs of a problem, they replaced it for us. When the water valves for the vanities didn't fit the new structures, they moved the valves and made it work. When the light fixtures needed to be raised, the crew took care of it without any complaint. Carlos gave us the best price by far for anyone who gave us an estimate and he fit the work into a busy schedule. Carlos adjusted the price as the project went on removing costs when we supplied materials or removed items from the plan. He also charged us fairly for the extra tasks such as fixing the house's main water valve. If there is 1 area I would suggest for improvement it is making sure questions about work that needs to happen are laid out before the day work is necessary. As an example, on a Monday morning I was asked where I wanted the step into the bath tub placed because the workers wanted to install the step that day. That was not a question I could answer on the spot; I needed to consult with my wife on the final decision. What's more, we would have had all weekend to consider the options if we had known the question ahead of time. This type of last minute response came up a few times throughout the project and created a bit of frustration and stress. The above suggestion is but one small issue compared to the great work Carlos and his team did on the rest of the project. His men were polite and professional at all times. The crew adapted well as the project moved along and did everything asked of them. They completed a rather intricate tiling project along with everything else. The work took longer than we anticipated but I think that is normal for these projects. Carlos and his crew are skilled in a variety of projects. I expect they will be our first call the next time we renovate any party of our home. I recommend their work and feel confident you will encounter the same good experience we had.

We highly recommend Dustin Shaw of Shaw and Company Builders in Fredericksburg, VA for any home…read morebuilding and remodeling needs. Dustin did some major remodeling projects for us including a complete modernization of an old bathroom and building a new screened-in porch addition along with a number of smaller jobs. He worked with us on the design and offered insightful recommendations concerning color, tile, fixtures and material selection. We are completely satisfied with all work and feel we received great value on the investment in our home. What really makes Dustin truly outstanding and significantly better than other contractors is his determination to provide the highest quality results. Dustin is personally involved with all phases of construction and is very meticulous in his work. He works shoulder-to-shoulder with his employees and subcontractors to ensure their work conforms to his high standards. For instance, Dustin was not satisfied with the way a siding subcontractor was installing Hardiplank siding on our addition and had them remove and reinstall the siding. As far as our experience with contractors goes, we had another local, well-known contractor give us a great sales pitch about how they are going to watch over things and make sure everything is done right. Things were not done right and they were not here to watch most work in real-time like they said they would. Dustin does not let that happen. He demonstrated honesty, integrity, superior customer service, great communication and complete professionalism. If you contract Shaw and Company Builders you will be happy with your results.

I appreciate the old-fashioned way of doing things, which is increasingly hard to find. Before I met Dustin Shaw, I had two previous favorite contractors in another state, and a few really horrible experiences. All this being said, Dustin is the rare find in this day and age -- he is young and yet "old-school" in every regard. He is the third generation of builders in his family and grew up learning the trade, and it shows. His work ethic is the highest, and he sets the highest possible bar for the quality of work that he (and any subcontractors he hires) delivers. I hired Dustin to renovate my favorite home of all, my childhood home, and he exhibited such care and understanding throughout. I wasn't in town during the project, but I had complete peace of mind that all would be done as it should be. Dustin's workmanship is beautiful, and as importantly, he has the highest degree of integrity. Since that project I have hired him to renovate several of my family's rental properties, and have recommended him to anyone I meet who is looking to build new construction or renovate. I can guarantee that if you hire him you will thank your lucky stars that you did.
