I called a couple different contractors but ended up choosing Riverside Home Exteriors. From the time I place the call the General Manager Oscar was a pleasure to speak with. He took the time to listen to my issue, let me send him some pictures so he could assess the issue right away and was very flexible with scheduling to come take a look first hand (for FREE). I ended up having him and his crew come out to fix the afflicted areas and they did an amazing job!! Anyone who looks at the deck now can't even tell it was ever burnt. The entire job they were very courteous and paid extreme attention to detail going above and beyond what was required. I would highly suggest Riverside Home Exteriors for anyone who is in need of home repair or construction services of any type and I know I will be using them again when the need arises.

Merrill Contracting should be your first stop when looking for excellent advice and quality…read moreworkmanship. I have used Dave Merrill and his company for 20 years on a large, complicated addition that required significant engineering work and several smaller projects too. He, his project leaders, and crew have always exceeded expectations for quality of work, meeting deadlines, dealing with surprises effectively, and minimizing impact on the home and residents. He is not always the low bid, but you can always b confident that things will be done correctly, on-time, within budget, and in a clean and safe manner. Talk with him, use his company, and be ready to love the results!

Was Pleasantly Surprised by the associates that did the work, On time, Great communication, Excellent work and they went that Extra Mile to get the job done right!A few years ago I had a Very Bad Experience with the owner in getting my kitchen completely remodeled and all appliances upgraded with his recommendations and trusted him Completely with the decisions .Was told that he would do it and was excited about the project etc and then nothing . No answer to calls messages just complete ghosting me. Would have preferred a no or don't want to do it or something,not just ignoring the request. Not a way to do business in my opinion. Thanks Again for a Great balcony make over!!! Very Pleased

We hired Lakewood Home Builders to build a 2-story addition following an architects' plans. The…read morework was completed in 2019. Since then, we have struggled to get them to correct problems. The mini-split systems their HVAC subcontractor installed have never worked properly. They run for a little while (long enough to pass inspection apparently) and then shut off and have to be reset. Their HVAC sub said they were getting new units for us, and now that I have asked again they say they are out of warranty so they don't have to. The new concrete driveway is deteriorating already. The deterioration seems to be only on the main portion so presumably a problem with that concrete pour. When I asked about the first signs of deterioration my concerns were brushed off. The driveway was also initially made narrower than the civil engineer's specifications so a strip had to be added to make it the correct width, which looks unsightly. They also cut corners with the architect's specifications. The back stairs were supposed to be low-rise - about 6.5" - to match our front stairs for accessibility. Instead they used higher risers so those stairs have a rise about 8" and are hard for me to use. The attic pull-down stairs that were specified to be insulated are not. I worry that there are more things that we just haven't noticed that were not done to specifications. We like the space, but the rec room is unusable in winter without a working heating system. Another warning - their HVAC subcontractor installed HVAC air vents in the floor of a bathroom including next to the toilet. Imagine what happens when the toilet overflows? Code allowed that (and may still, be careful) but it's certainly a bad idea (code does not allow HVAC vents in bathroom floors in commercial buildings) and I would hesitate to trust a contractor who built like that. I really wish we had chosen a different contractor.

This saved us from having to bring in multiple vendors (Roofing, HVAC, Electrician, etc.) They made the whole process simple for us. Stacy Lensis gracefully managed our pressing questions and timing needs, keeping us informed on all fronts. Richard Lensis personally reviewed the scope of work and took the team through each repair. The team was on time, friendly, and focused. We've never been more pleased with a contracting experience, and have already booked Stacy's time to begin the process of remodeling the kitchen and master bath in our new home.

You would ask a simple question and get looked blankly. The work area safety was a disaster. Pictures will be included. They showed up at 7:15-7:25 AM. Upon arrival they needed to get inside for what I haven't a clue. Fairfax county has a noise ordinance stating work can't start until 8AM. If your so unlucky you will deal with Carl. Carl is the most cocky character. He doesn't know code. He claims he does. He claims he inspected the area to bring it up to code but missed a massive code violation. Fairfax County missed it as well but I already knew they were useless. So if you want to hire a company and roll the dice that you pass final inspection this is your company. If you want your property taken and then a cocky response that he's in 200 homes a year this is your company. They took a tarp that wasn't theirs and probably a watch. The tarp was returned but according to Carl they don't take anything. I can't speak for the value. The job was done on time but with annoyances. The kicker is he allegedly wanted to charge trip fees. Let's see some I-9 forms for your employees then we can discuss trip fees
