We recently had our driveway paved by ZL Paving, and we couldn't be happier with the results. From…read morethe beginning, Zach was honest, responsive, and took the time to answer every question we had. He also offered several great suggestions that improved both the appearance and functionality of our driveway. Our driveway is fairly steep, so we wanted to make sure it would drain properly. The finished driveway is incredibly smooth, and even after heavy rain there is no standing water or pooling. The paving right up against our house was done with great attention to detail, and the overall workmanship exceeded our expectations. The price was very reasonable compared to other quotes we received, and the quality of the work speaks for itself. We are extremely happy with both the service and the finished product. I highly recommend ZL Paving and will definitely use them again for future paving projects.

We worked closely with Brian all the way through the process, and found him to be very accommodating of our needs. We had some things we wanted to do that were different - such as using geothermal heating, adjusting some features to accommodate what we anticipate may be needed as we age, and the like. We found Valley Builders to be a very high quality builder. I was also very pleased with how easily Brian accommodated changes - in some cases, we arranged the changes separately from our contract, in other cases, they were incorporated into the contract. We made some changes in suppliers that went smoothly as well. We're delighted with how our home has turned out.

I wish I would've had the chance to see if Mr. Fitchett's (owner's) quality of work was any good,…read morebut we didn't get past drawing up a contract for our stick-built house. There were a number of red flags: an estimate where the items didn't add up to the total; a "contract" with no Scope of Work (as mandated by DPOR); and an insistence of having our construction loan go to closing before he'd even submit the Building Permit. This was after I'd offered to pay for the permit out of pocket; and his initial assurances that he wouldn't have much to do with the financial side of things. Supposedly, he has 12 years of experience in the field, but if that's true, why did I have to provide a blank contract template; and then try to convince him of its necessity? A good contract protects all parties involved - that's true no matter what industry, location, or people involved. Looking back on emails exchanged, I can clearly see he took offence at a lot of what I said -made it personal - when this was just about the business of building our house and putting together a decent contract. HIs non-cooperation and insistence on " it's more relaxed in Shenandoah County than in NoVA" is just an excuse for lazy and unprofessional behavior. And it's rude for him to have said that to me, a potential customer; and it wasn't the first time he'd made snide comments. He definitely took offense to something about me - whether it's because I'm a woman, educated, or simply wanted him to work outside his comfort zone - I don't know. Fortunately, none of those are my problem; and I'm very glad I decided NOT to waste any more of my time with him. It's Builders like this that give every other builder or contractor a black eye.

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.

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!!!

They were responsive when I called for an appointment. Before they came, they emailed us to confirm. They were right on time for the appointment and brought all of the equipment they needed. Our HOA has been giving us a hard time about the green mold growing on our siding and we had been delaying getting it removed so there was quite a bit of build-up. The brick on our chimney had black streaks that I was convinced couldn't be removed. After they were done pressure washing, our siding gleamed and our chimney didn't have a trace of black on it. They also cleaned our cement patio and checked our gutters. I'm really impressed with their professionalism and the thorough job they did. I will be calling them every time we get a nastygram from our HOA in the future.
