Our experience couldn't have been worse and the angst and stress on us at age 76 was horrible. His own crew was upset Marty is a smooth talker but he never even reviewed the job with us once, after the contract signing and then came 4 months later with an additional $11,250 "addendum" we knew nothing about. He used contractors rather than employees mostly, so his markup was double. He never completed four major aspects of our contract before walking off the job. We hired another small honest crew who fixed the screwed up mess the best they could so we can live with it. read more

The company did a fantastic job on our vacation home in The Woods which involved a rather complex renovation/remodeling including a large room over a garage that they turned into a fantastic office/den, renovating a screened in porch into a 4-season room, adding a hallway outside for access, adding a bathroom and renovating a mud room/foyer. Overall, they remodeled, added or renovated over 600 square feet. The negative review on here is mystifying and there seems to be more to the story there. We own several properties in Northern Virginia as well as the home in The Woods. Over the years we have hired multiple contractors to do everything from 1,000 square foot additions to small bathroom renovations. Fairway Home Services is, THE BEST renovation/remodeling company we have worked with in the last 20 years. Their quality meets or exceeds that of bigger and more expensive companies we have used. Marty and his crew are great to work with, responsive and communicate well. In addition, they are a great resource for remodeling ideas as the project proceeds. My wife and I would recommend them to our best friends, family members and anyone else. read more

Greg is awesome! Helped us work through the cumbersome process of home buying and gave us excellent guidance when requested.

Our project was to renovate and expand a 1200 sf. home that had not been updated since it was built over forty years ago. We added about 400 sf. of indoor space, plus a 240 sf. screened porch with a decked entry staircase. The job included all new windows and doors, siding, and roof, and renewal of all existing indoor spaces. A new kitchen, master bath, and staircase were key indoor components of the project. This was not an easy job to plan, given that a lot of the work became clear only upon "opening up" what existed. Anyone familiar with the term "design-build" understands the challenges with this this kind of project versus a "scratch-built" project. Added to this, our home is in the flood plain, which required special structural engineering to meet regulatory requirements. Then there was our wish to retain a stone two-sided fireplace as a core original feature of the home. Everything had to be designed around these constraints. We considered three builders for this project, and we chose Fairway, in part, because they were the mid-size of the three companies. Large enough to handle a job of this magnitude, but small enough to give us the personal attention we needed, and to go-with-the-flow of our changing needs and ideas about what to build where and how we wanted it to look. Marty, the founder, is keenly attentive to finding the best ways to accomplish complex tasks that exist along a landscape of owner wants and needs, design-build uncertainties, weather, regulatory requirements, equipment and materials, scheduling, finding the best trades-people for the job, and budget. He thinks quickly and decisively to come up with solutions to complex design and construction challenges. Our home faced the river and we wanted to create an expansive view on the river side. Marty worked patiently with us through several iterations of how to accomplish this. The final design that we chose was one that he had recommended. It met all of our wants and needs and landed within our budget. The Fairway on-site team, led by Joe, who worked with us carefully, diligently, and with respect that this is not just another project, this is our home. At Joe's side was Tim, a highly skilled and dedicated multi-tradesman who was always the first person on the job and often the last to leave. Rough-in plumbing and kitchen and bath installations were done professionally by Steve and Berr with creative attention to the details and patient respect for concerns and occasional changing needs. They worked with the team and us in a collaborative, mutually supportive way, and they each demonstrated care in getting their parts of the job done right the first time. We were also very appreciative for the efforts of an array of sub-contracted and part-time people, especially Erick, a jack-of-all-trades who moved agreeably and seamlessly from task to task, as needed, to fill multiple needs; Timmy and his siding/roofing team; Bobby the HVAC Tech and his crew; and electricians Dave and Ted. This also included several other workers who were brought in for their various qualifications, skills, ability, and availability. As with any General Contracting project, the Contractor is only as good as his subs. One, Abella Stone did not meet our expectations with regard to the kitchen counters. It is unfortunate that this key feature of the home ended up less than satisfactory. These kinds of renovation projects are not without their surprises, challenges, and compromises (Beware of any contractor who will tell you otherwise) and this project was no exception. Overall, Fairway was clear and transparent about the variables and worked diligently to achieve best outcomes that were consistent with our needs, and our budget. Any project like this is not without a few surprises and challenges, not the least of which was the unusually rainy weather throughout the Summer and Fall of 2018. Nevertheless, the project was completed very close to on-schedule and the financial closing was completed in a fair way (they are true to their name). We have a wonderful home and we are looking forward to enjoying it for many years! read more

If we could give negative stars we would. We can relate to an earlier review posted by Elaine P. It sounds EXACTLY what we went through with Fairway Home services. They broke ground on our property in 2107 and we are STILL living with the aftermath from them. We had a very large project that they were supposed to complete for us and every step of the way was pure frustration. A complete nightmare! We were promised (and paid for) "unrivaled quality" and instead received poor craftsmanship, to say the least. Just about everything they touched was not done correctly and was very sloppy. The communication was lacking, there was no organization and we were very deceived. We were lied to. I won't get in to specifics here, but I would not, in a million years, ever recommend them to anyone. Not even my worst enemy. read more

Very pleased with our project and dealings with Fairway Home Services. Had issues getting contractors out to do a patio roof addition on our home. Marty and his crew came out straight away and gave us a competitive quote. They communicated every step of the way, and worked with us to resolve any issues that arose. We are very pleased with the outcome of our project, and highly recommend Marty and his crew for your home improvement needs! read more

This company did significant home improvements to our cabin at The Woods resort. The work included window replacement, sliding door replacement, interior and exterior painting, roof overlay and deck replacement. The quality of the work was outstanding and the relationship went very well through the entire process. We are very happy with the work performed and greatly appreciate this company! read more

We had a great experience working with the Team at Fairway Home Services (FHS) and Artisan Kitchen and Countertops. From the initial phone call, to the estimate, to the completed project, FHS is 100% customer focused. FHS completed a $50,000 basement remodel on time and on budget. (No easy feat when we made some changes mid project.) The craftsmanship throughout the project was Superb and the attentiveness of the Owner and Project Manager was first rate. Additionally, the experts at Artisan Kitchen and Countertops did an equally Superb job designing/laying out the cabinets and countertops. The compliments we have received on the overall project and specifically the locally made oak bar are too numerous to count. If you have a project in mind or are looking for a trustworthy company to do a remodel or build your custom home look no further than the Team at Fairway Home Services. You will not be disappointed by the relationships you develop or of the results of the project you have trusted the Team to complete. I cannot recommend FHS strongly enough. read more
