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.

The issue happened on Sunday afternoon and we were fine without power for one night (we didn't feel like it was necessary for them to rush a generator over to us right away, but they offered and that is what matters). Greg was at our house with the generator at 6:30 am on Monday. I never had an issue with reaching them - as some reviews have said. I would definitely recommend them.

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.

Stay Away! Signed an agreement with Timber Creek…read moreConstruction, LLC, owned by Lee Payne, in May 2022 for a complete remodeling of our master bathroom. Work began in October 2022 for a project that Timber Creek Construction proposed as a 10-week project. 12 months later, our bathroom was not close to being complete. A sample of the issues remaining included the following: * No plumbing fixtures installed * No electrical fixtures installed * Incomplete tile installation * No doors installed * Significant trim issue * Subpar paint job, characterized by a Timber Creek employee as "...was beyond unacceptable" and "...embarrassed by the work...". * A complete mess of our Master Bedroom, Master Closet, and additional bedroom (where we thought we were temporarily storing our belongings) that needed extensive cleaning. This project contained poor project management, poor workmanship, no quality assurance on work that was completed, no adherence to provided schedules, and up charges on selection items that were neither contained in the agreed proposal or indicated to us prior to signing the agreement. The emotional trauma and physical health issues this caused us are beyond comprehension. We lived in complete chaos for a year with no completion in sight. It became very clear that Timber Creek was in over their head with this project and underestimated effort and project details that had been discussed many times prior to the work starting. We were left with no other option than to cease working with Timber Creek and pursue other means of completion, at a cost that was significantly more expensive than anything we had anticipated and proposed by Timber Creek. This was the worse construction/remodeling job we ever experienced.

I procrastinated a few days because I was skeptical. Other recommendations for basic handyman services and concrete work were horrible disappointments and I could not risk anyone incompetent working on my front door. I needed someone who truly knew what they were doing and what would be needed if complications happened. I called Nick with NCF Home Improvements. He made an appointment with me a few days later. I sent him a few pictures prior to the appointment. He showed up on time and told me exactly what was needed. As soon as I met him, I knew I had made the right choice. He quoted me a fair price and gave me a time frame. I was pleasantly surprised to hear from him as soon as I did. He picked up the supplies that were necessary, including the new door and knob/lock and kept me in the loop every step of the way. He took the time to show me what had made the existing door such a problem in the first place. Nick was professional, pleasant to deal with and actually looked and acted like he knew what he was doing! He was composed and didn't get thrown off balance when a few unexpected challenges came up. Nick had all the tools necessary and accomplished an amazing job with perfect clean up. I could not be more satisfied! I am excited to be able to use my front door again! The door looks good and because of all the extra steps he had to take due to previous poor building choices, it is now the way it should have been! The door fits like a glove and opens and closes nicely. Such an impressive job. I felt like Nick went above and beyond what he quoted but he would not accept any additional money. I will definitely use him in the future and if you have a home project, kitchen or bathroom remodeling, door replacement, deck or stair building, or anything related to a home, give him a call! I wish other companies would take a lesson from Nick. He has set the bar way up!

I needed to revamp the closet in my daughter's room to maximize the space in there. I knew I needed to change the door for better access, but other than that, I didn't have a lot of ideas. I called NCF for a consultation and we set up a convenient time. Nick arrived promptly and listened to my concerns. He then made several suggestions about what could be done to maximize the space. Ultimately, I decided to change the door, add custom shelving and raise the clothing bar. Nick made the great suggestion that if I was planning to use baskets or containers on the shelving, that I find those first to make sure they fit properly. He submitted a written estimate shortly after that meeting and we scheduled the work for the following week. Again, he arrived promptly and completed everything in the same day. He also had the forethought to leave the top shelf unsecured so that I could remove it in the future if space required it. When I checked the work before he left, I asked if we could change the position of the clothes bar to allow for more bulky items. "No problem" was the response and he took care of it. I'm thrilled with the end result and highly recommend his services.
