Short review: hiring Construction Systems of Virginia is the hardest I've ever had to work for a…read morejob I was paying somebody else to do. Between missed self-imposed deadlines, poor workmanship, and major mistakes, completing the project to satisfaction took constant vigilance on my part and a general knowledge of construction techniques I felt lucky to have, but would've left someone less experienced with sometimes unsafe conditions in their home. Overall, the project was completed, but it took significant effort, time, and money on my part and, as a result, I wouldn't recommend anybody to hire Construction Systems of Virginia. The final straw for me to write this review is that one of the two patio doors I had installed by CSOVA started peeling on the door jamb after only a year or two. I reached out to CSOVA to ask for a receipt so I could file a warranty claim with the manufacturer. They had no receipt. I asked for a statement or some kind of paperwork that I could send to the manufacturer. They said they would send it but have never followed up despite asking for it multiple times. My project was large in scope and took five months. I hired CSOVA via Patrick Mullen to repair the back exterior wall of my townhouse after we discovered mold on the inside. It's difficult to be concise with all the things that went sideways on this project so here's my top ten things that went wrong: 1. They installed an outlet without an electrical box 2. They didn't initially replace the piece of sheathing that caused our mold problem until I noticed it 3. They boarded up our laundry and bathroom exhaust vents, until I pointed it out. 4. They painted over our fireplace bricks when installing the mantle which was not requested nor inside the scope of work. 5. They bought the wrong insulation materials twice even though the brand was specifically listed in the contract 6. Materials were ordered late and delayed parts of the project 7. Siding repairs were mismatched for a different style that our HOA explicitly didn't allow. I had sent CSOVA our HOA terms. 8. They reattached our downspouts without the proper drain adapter (as it was before) 9. The brand new patio door they installed still leaked water after multiple repair attempts. 10. The work crew, on several occasions, breached the mold containment zone that the mold remediation company said not to breach. This list doesn't even include the lack of diligence on finish details that would indicate a professional install: wall and outlet plates not removed prior to painting (and when I did it myself for the 2nd coat, they were reinstalled immediately after painting before it could dry); a gallon paint can I supplied mangled to the point it had to be discarded; three different colors of caulk on the exterior of my door frame; mismatched screws on the hinges of a brand new patio door; a missing bracket on one downspout but not the other; different trim pieces for the same type of exhaust vent literally side-by-side; and probably more that Ive forgotten or yet to discover. All said and done, I cannot recommend CSOVA. I leave two stars because I do appreciate that Patrick always had a good attitude, was open to addressing the issues, and accommodating with scheduling. In the end, the work simply was not of quality without tremendous personal effort and time.

The color recommendations Patrick gave for wall/trim colors and fixtures were a subtle way to elevate and bring attention to the details, such as selecting pearl for the extensive crown molding to give it a shine. The shiplap ceiling and walls helped to create the airy, farm house feel we were aiming for. I took a lot of the design expertise of Owner Patrick. He recommended we add in the wainscoting to give the kitchen dining area an elevated, cozy feel. He also recommended we paint the ceiling and walls of the green room to give it a moody feel- At first I was skeptical but now cannot picture it any other way. He had the idea of combining the mudroom bricks with the shiplap walls- which is truly just dreamy... This house now exceeds anything I could have ever dreamed up. Patrick also gave multiple tile options and design ideas until we finally landed on our perfect match. I appreciated his willingness to work with my need to "see things" laid out before picking options. He provided multiple sample coats of paint options, laid the tile and floor choices next to each other so all I truly had to do was point my finger. The bathrooms now feel like I am stepping into a spa each day. Communication was huge as with any big project there are so many moving parts and changes, so I appreciated his quick responses and willingness to make adjustments as needed. While I have so many more positive things I could say, I will let their high quality work speak for itself with pictures.

We just completed a major kitchen and master bath remodeling job with Heartland, and we couldn't be…read morehappier. It was a 3-1/2 month project, start to finish, and Heartland made every step an easy one. From the design process with Nick Clapes and Molly Holland, who both had wonderful and tasteful ideas that we just loved, to the demolition and new construction with our great project manager, Marty Fletcher (who took over seamlessly when our original PM left Heartland). All in all, it was a huge project, but every little bump in the road was handled quickly and efficiently (and there will always be bumps in the road!). Communication throughout the project was also excellent. We always knew exactly where we were at and kept informed about everything. And I'd be remiss if I didn't thank everyone who worked on our project: Carpenters - Hugo, Yerko, Nestor, Ady, and Carlos Electricians - Rudy and his crew Plumber - Gerson and his crew Drywall and Painters - Sual and his crew Tile - David Flooring - Alex and his crew You all were so helpful, so professional, and so friendly (especially dealing with our overly-friendly dog, Chiara!), and we are so appreciative of all of your hard work on our behalf! I selected Heartland for this project because I found them listed as a local Best Pick (http://bestpickreports.com/), which is a fantastic resource for finding fully vetted and insured professsionals, and then hired them for a smaller initial project (replacing a staircase). They did a fabulous job on that, so I was happy to hire them again. In conclusion, if you are looking for a fantastic, reputable company to do any home remodeling, you cannot go wrong with Heartland Design & Remodeling. We are still in the process of unpacking and settling back into the house, so I won't post any pictures yet. But trust me, it's gorgeous!

She clarified and mitigated small concerns as they arose to our satisfaction. Liz with her style savvy and knowledge provided great renderings of the vision. She coordinated all design meetings and thankfully with her anxiety alleviating calm, supportive demeanor and keen attention to detail, helped us make decisions from paint colors to fixtures. Then David as our very responsive and dedicated project manager brought the organization of all the trade partners together to successfully bring the full project to completion and within the designated timing we so needed. If we had questions or needed slight changes - David was quick to accommodate. We are grateful to Heartland for their cooperation and service excellence.

Rusty went above and beyond what we saw from other companies. We got quotes from many companies, but only Rusty went to the effort to search the house for possible sources of the problem. He provided several repair options and was upfront about which option he most recommended. Rusty also helped us pick out new lighting for the room being redone and showed us how to replace lighting ourselves in another room to match. We liked that, unlike other companies, Merrick had the ability to not just demolish and redo the drywall ceiling but also diagnose and repair any underlying structural issues. Merrick employed several rotating crews to do demolition, drywall installation, lighting installation, and painting. Each crew was professional, friendly, and completed the task well. Clean-up was excellent. Other than a weather interruption, the project finished on time. We communicated directly with Rusty throughout the project. Our only suggestion for improvement would be that sometimes we were not given an accurate estimate of when the crew would arrive. Upon immediate completion, the Merrick team's work looks great. We hope it will stand the test of time!

The team of Rusty, Julio, Alex, Carter, Jorge, Jeff and more worked through some obstacles and made it all work seamlessly, on time and with a smile. In fact, my project was more on the "Build" side than the "Design" side of Merrick (although it required design solutions and reworkings as well) as I had a longtime friend as my kitchen designer. She's been in the biz 20+ years, and she noted in particular what I already knew - "they are putting such love into your project and really don't want to leave!" While it was technically a kitchen renovation at the heart, it was new flooring, new electrical panel, drop ceiling, painting, etc. and thus touched 2/3 of my home - all but bathrooms and bedrooms - which will be PHASE 2 and I will immediately be calling the Merrick Team AGAIN!
