We contacted Built to Last and they were able to come out same day for the job. Although a small repair job, we could not be happier with the work done. All of the metal piping under the sink was replaced and updated with PVC. Including a trip to Lowe's for parts, the entire repair took about an hour. Additionally, Nick the owner is friendly and professional. I highly recommend Built To Last for any repair or contract work you may need on your homes.

No, it took 11 months because we had to fire RVA Restoration due to their incompetent sub contractors and an argumentative superintendent. If you choose them, be prepared to oversee everything they do or you will be sorry. They don't even deserve ONE star! We made the unfortunate decision to choose this company for restoration work. They are highly unprofessional and incompetent. Do not make the mistake of thinking they will finish your project skillfully or on time. You are better off finding qualified tradesmen specializing in specific areas, who care and take pride in the work they do. This company is nothing more than an embarrassment to the industry. They will do low-grade work and leave your home worse off than it was.

I sent over photos of where I was at in clearing the yard myself and I was given a quote from them with the start date of the coming up Tuesday. I told them I was planning to do more work the next day (Sunday) and asked if I could send updated photos for a new quote after I finished for the day, since they weren't starting until Tuesday, and I was told yes. I was also told they would come to my house and look at the job on that coming up Monday, the day before the job was to take place. I message that Monday evening to see if this took place and I was given a new quote in which I agreed to, with the job still being Tuesday. Come Tuesday, they showed up and said they could not complete the job as it was too large and would take too long. This company clearly does hold their word and it turns out that no one actually came out to my house on that Monday before I was given the new quote, they just based it on my second set of photos I sent. This is 100% their error and they should still have follow through on our agreement but they won't.

We had a very disappointing experience with Lifestyle Home Builders at Rountrey…read more After visiting their model home on February 7th, we spent nearly a month working with their sales team--reviewing lots, discussing pricing, and preparing to move forward. On March 2nd, we were told via email that our preferred lot had a discounted price, which motivated us to act quickly and schedule a contract appointment for March 7th. On the day of that appointment, we were informed (as we were leaving our house) that it had been canceled due to a $30K price increase, and they would not honor the pricing we had been discussing. After a week of poor communication and multiple follow-ups, they came back with a revised offer, which we were willing to accept--only to change the terms again the very next day and remove the discount entirely. At that point, we walked away. While we understand pricing can change, the constant back-and-forth, lack of communication, and failure to honor their word made it impossible to trust them. If you're considering building with them, be cautious--get everything in writing and don't assume pricing or terms will hold. We've decided to wait for the new section of Rountrey to be released and will be moving forward with a builder that is more professional, trustworthy, and client-focused. Very disappointing experience.

From gaps between the boards in the screened in porch, cuts in the kitchen floor, and a leaking and crooked skylight to major cracks in the sheet rock within two years from the day it was built, this house was a total disaster. Worse yet is the fact that Lloyd Poe and his company refused to fix most of the problems. I would discourage everyone from doing business with this horrible and unethical company.

There is not enough space for me to share what an OUTSTANDING experience we had with Lane Homes…read morefollowing a bursted pipe and flood in our 1906 historic home in December 2022. After months of dealing with demo and setbacks with mold, lead and asbestos we were very jaded and wondered if the house would ever be restored to its former glory. We had multiple friends who worked with Lane homes for their renovations and they all recommended them highly. Ed Lane came out in June 2023 six months after the flood once demo was complete. He was professional, knowledgeable, super communicative and set our minds at ease. Work began in July and we were told to expect it to last four months. In my mind I hoped it would be complete by Thanksgiving. We have lived in several homes over the years and used several different contractors and have NEVER finished a renovation a month ahead of schedule!!!! We just finished the end of project walk through today with our project manager Kevin Joyner and we are honestly a bit sad that we won't see Kevin and his team around here on a daily basis. Kevin went above and beyond the call of duty. He is EXTREMELY thorough and a complete perfectionist. He and his team were so communicative. He returned our calls/texts any time of day, night and on the weekends. We always knew what to expect the following day; who would be on site and when they would arrive and depart. I can honestly say in this months long process there was not a wasted day or lag time. Kevin is meticulously and expects the same out of his crews. From the painters, to the plumbers and finish carpenter each Lane employee was a delight to work with. If we ever move or renovate down the road we will use Lane Homes for all our remodeling needs. If every company was as honest, thorough and easy to work with as Lane there would be a lot less frustration in the world! Thank you Lane Homes and Kevin Joyner, we are so thankful and proud of the beautiful work you all did. You guys truly are the best!!!!! And thanks for the caulking the kitchen sink Kevin....over and beyond

I really do like how the project turned out and that goes to the sub contractors. Several of them were fantastic and I would highly recommend the sub contractors. Unfortunately, the management of the project was less than. I expected more communication. We were told several times when the manager could not make a meeting or was rushing there to meet for 10min, they were just "so busy with their other projects." Even the owner came at the end to look at a few things and didn't say one word besides hello. Honestly, we are still waiting on them to find a solution to paint on the custom oven hood and I doubt we will ever hear from them. Guess they are just writing off the small payment that's left. We have friends all over Southside and it's a shame that we cannot recommend this company because people ask all the time.
