Our tiny 1950s kitchen was once the worst room in our house, and now it is easily the best. We are…read morevery happy we hired Traylor to complete the renovation for us. We removed the wall between the kitchen and the tiny dining room, and Traylor rerouted HVAC, relocated plumbing, updated electrical, and installed cabinets, counters, and new flooring. The transformation has made a huge difference in how we use our home. The quality of the work is solid, especially given the price--which is truly hard to beat. The team was professional, punctual, and respectful throughout the process. They cleaned up daily, which we really appreciated. Renata and Livia were always responsive, and Andre checked in on progress regularly. One of the most impressive parts of the project was how they matched the new kitchen floor to our existing hardwoods. They removed the old kitchen tile and weaved in new boards seamlessly with the dining room flooring--it looks like it was always one room. Several guests have commented on how great it looks. We're overall very happy with the work Traylor completed for us and will work with them again for our next project.

They also worked with us when we found that a column was structural and needed to be moved and supplemented to ensure a safe final construction.

When you are searching for a contractor and you do not have a referral from a friend, you are…read morepretty much at the mercy of the internet, and/or luck. After some research, I hired Jesryn General Contractor LLC to remove and install a French door and to fill in hardwood flooring for a small area of a bedroom. This was supposed to be a two-day project. However, it quickly turned into an almost 2-week project! Once Julio removed the door, things changed...for the worst and then got better. He could have just completed the job he was contracted for, but he explained that he found major water damage. He said he could not in good faith just install the door. Sharing this unfortunate information could have made me stop the project immediately and sharing this unfortunate information could have loss money for his company, but it's not solely about the money for Julio, it's more about integrity. His reputation of trying to always do what is right and do it well. So, he removed and replaced all of the rotted wood first. Julio told me not to worry, he would work with me, and he would make sure everything was completed accurately, efficiently and that I would be very pleased with the results. He was right. I love the outcome! I never had to wonder what was going on, Julio communicated every step of the way, and he even took pictures. His team, Diego and Julio Jr., were punctual, professional and very easy to work with. I trusted them to do what we agreed would be done. I highly recommend Jesryn General Contractor LLC, and if you contract their services, you will not be disappointed.

I highly recommend Sandro Villavicencio and SVC Homes…read more You will not find a better or more honest GC in Washington. I would trust Sandro with my kids. We hired Sandro to dig out and underpin a basement (with full gut reno as a separate unit), renovate several bathrooms, and completely redo a backyard/patio. Having someone literally dig out your foundation while you live there is a harrowing experience. But SVC exceeded our expectations. Not only were SVC's prices far more affordable than the nearest bid by a huge margin, but they completed every task up to my high standards. Sandro was always flexible when we decided to make changes to the plan. And he was amazingly good at anticipating questions ahead of time and making sure that he had our input when necessary. Sandro handled all aspects of the renovation including the design, architectural drawings, permitting, sourcing materials, and building. Only the structural engineering was outsourced (to a structural engineer). My only complaint is that the project took slightly longer than estimated. Hard to fault too much, since this is the nature of the business. If you are on the fence, choose Sandro and SVC. It will be the best decision you make in your reno. I will absolutely be using Sandro again.

From start to finish, their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly detail-oriented. They took great care to prep their work area every single day and kept everything covered, which made a huge difference in controlling dust throughout our home. They also stayed right on schedule and completed the work within the timeframe they originally promised. What really stood out was their expertise--they offered thoughtful recommendations on improvements and changes that truly elevated the project. We've been so impressed with their work that we've already asked them for quotes on installing new windows and demoing our kitchen and half bath. We highly recommend Triple State Construction to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality work!

I hired this company to redo a shower stall. Because they were already going to be doing concrete…read morework in the shower stall, I pointed out two, small, hand-sized areas of concrete that needed patching on my balcony. The owner Chris, said he would not charge me because it was negligible. I was happy that they were a good faith company who wouldn't nickel and dime me. Boy, I turned out to be wrong on that! Their work in the shower was just alright. It required a second pass to fix some lines that were not quite straight and they offered to fix it. The shower was substantially less work than initially scoped. The estimate was for a much larger job than needed to be done to fix the shower. I expected to get a discount on the initial estimate. Chris discounted me $200. I agree to pay him the full estimate minus $200 for services not rendered in the initial estimate. After the job is complete, Chris suddenly springs me with an additional charge of $100. He wants to charge me for the balcony patches, which were two child's hand-sized areas. This was quite irritating because not only did they not have to do as much of a job on the shower as they initially thought, but he was going to flip-flop on his initial word that he wouldn't charge me for patching the balcony concrete. He began harassing me via e-mail, using adjectives like "ridiculous" and questioning my character. This was extremely unprofessional and uncalled for. Within a couple of emails he began threatening to take out a lien on my property. That sounded odd to me, like he was bullying and on an anger trip rather than negotiating like a regular contractor. A lien on my property for a dispute over $100? Sounded unreasonable. I would have gladly paid the $100 if he had been honest with the charge up-front, or if he had sent me a change order in writing saying that the balcony patching would take more effort and he wanted to charge for the balcony. It was neither. The patches were tiny and he did much less work in the shower than he initially expected to have to do. It seemed like he was extorting me for additional money after the work was complete because he felt he could get away with threatening me, or because he didn't really like the fact that he had to do a second pass on the shower floor to get it right. I began talking to my condo building manager about this contractor. I learned that he fired one of his workers who was known for doing outstanding work on bathrooms, then threatened him physically if he ever worked on remodeling any of our building units. In short, this guy is trouble. Like the other reviewer also noted, he changes price quotes in the middle of a job or after the job is done, and gets nasty and short-tempered. There are a ton of contractors out there, save yourself a headache.

When we decided to build an ADU, we had no idea where to start, but working with Marks-Woods…read moreConstruction was the best choice we could have made. Greg Marks, one of the owners, walked us through what was and wasn't possible with the City of Alexandria's zoning requirements, and explained every step clearly -- a real relief for our first big construction project. His brother Drew Marks, our project manager, visited the site daily, kept everything on schedule, and always kept us in the loop. He responded quickly to every question, and his patience was remarkable. The crew was respectful and left the worksite tidy every day. Now that it's finished, we couldn't be happier. The ADU is beautiful and incredibly functional, and details like the custom cabinetry and thoughtful layout show the care they put into their work. If you're looking for a team that truly cares about their clients and delivers quality, Greg and his crew are the way to go.

In our experience, Marks-Woods Construction LLC are dangerous and dishonest contractors…read more I won't bury the lede: Marks-Woods lit our house on fire and abandoned it to burn, cut a live 240 volt wire and left it exposed in our yard where children play, mis-wired an outlet so that it threw sparks and molten copper onto our attic insulation, and allowed a gas leak to persist in our occupied house for at least a month. They exceeded their three-month contracted timeline by five months and left the project incomplete. If those facts are not enough to convince you of their unsuitability to earn your business, please continue reading. The red flags came early and often: Marks-Woods demanded a HUGE down payment to begin work, which began later than promised and faced delays from the outset. As other reviewers have noted, workers would show up infrequently (initially less than 60% of the time) and do very little work (for example, we caught them napping in our garage, watching videos, and playing with paper airplanes). Marks-Woods' work failed and continues to fail Fairfax County inspections (our deck for example, was built at great expense and not even remotely to code) and of hit-or-miss quality (we could not confirm some of their subcontractors' licenses either). They wasted time and resources via sloppy workmanship (e.g., leaky roof, broken tiles, unlevel floors), failing to follow building plans correctly, and misordering supplies etc. etc. Marks-Woods' communication was erratic and inaccurate regarding scheduling, work to be done, work completed, and invoicing. You can verify in other reviews (note the lack of historical ones on Google: Marks-Woods' business profile suspiciously disappeared for a while) and public court records that they allegedly pull financial shenanigans such as failing to pay their creditors and subcontractors. For our project, they unilaterally (and likely illegally) demanded changes in our payment terms in violation of the contract and created false invoices requesting payment multiple times for the same line items while sprinkling payments among various unrelated line items to help their "cash flow". I could continue our litany of documented complaints ad nauseum and appreciate your reading this far. My only goal is to spare other homeowners from the financial and emotional trauma our family suffered at the hands of Marks-Woods; avoid them: they do not deserve your or anyone else's business.

It has become the best room in our entire house, and if given the chance, I would have them redo the entire house without hesitation. Javier, in particular, was a pleasure to work with - he is incredibly patient and understanding. It took us two years to finally be able to afford finishing our basement, and throughout that time, Javier was always there to answer any questions I had. When we were ready to proceed, he still had the plans he had created two years earlier. The entire team at remodel America was fantastic. They went above and beyond by even installing lights and ceiling fans in other rooms of my house while they were working on the basement. I am extremely satisfied with the work done by remodel America and will definitely turn to them for any future home improvements. I am excited about the sunroom project that Javier designed, and I hope to have that completed soon as well.

A con man of the highest order!! BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!…read moreHis recommendations which I naively agreed to ,proved not only to be not only outrageously overpriced,but more importantly completely superfluous and resulted in me ultimately having to hire someone else remove what he installed AND repair what damaged he caused and then begin the initial project from the start!! One example:His estimate for tightening a kitchen cabinet ran into thousands of dollars!! He came up with some convoluted explanation about the wall of the cabinet needing to be rebuilt, the dishwasher needing to be removed, the wall next to it needing to be totally rebuilt ,the adjacent door also needing to be taken off, then needing to repaint the doors .....and on and on. Another workman showed me that the screw just needed tightening and refused to even charge me for such a ridiculously small 'repair'! He guaranteed his work for a year. The tile work he did on one tub has resulted in puddling on the floor every time the shower is used. It's been 3 months since he was paid in full for ALL of his work. Two weeks ago I contacted him to fix the puddling problem. No response ! Since my call to him the puddling is only one of a number of things that that he worked on that isn't working properly! His "WARRENTEE " isn't worth much since he doesn't respond even 3 months into the first yr! Must of been his wife or mother who wrote the favorable review before mine. I give him, his work and his word zero stars!

The custom closet system was not originally in his area of expertise and Oded was frank and honest about it. He could've fooled me because it turned out beautifully. His scrupulous attention to detail and patience are hallmarks of a genuine professional. His price isn't cheap, but it's not expensive either. For the work he does, he expects to and should be fairly compensated. If you want to roll the dice with other handymen, be my guest.
