We hired this contractor for a $178k project that ballooned to $255k+ due to unauthorized charges,…read morebilling errors (they tried to overbill us by $19,618), and their own mistakes. Workmanship was awful: Carpentry: Misaligned deck, ramp rebuilt 5 times and still wrong. Painting: No primer, paint peeling, splatter on windows, floors, even personal items. Plumbing: Cardboard left in drains (overflow in less than 1 month), pipes left active in attic (burst, collapsed through 3 floors). HVAC: Unauthorized work patched with duct tape, vents left uncovered. Windows: Wrong orders and sizes, one half the promised size. Safety: Ladder left on porch for a year; subs entered house unannounced. Timeline was equally disastrous: promised completion Apr 2024, revised to Oct 2024, finally finished Sept 2025. Multiple inspections failed. Project manager was a poor communicator, and the CEO stopped responding once problems escalated. Masonry and flooring were the only trades done competently. Everything else was systemic incompetence and mismanagement. Their 5-star rating does not reflect reality. Avoid at all costs.

A R General Contracting, based in Manassas, boasts a talented, honest, flexible, and humble owner…read morededicated to building a trusted and sought-after business. With over seven years of experience and hundreds of satisfied customers, it's clear why they are so highly regarded. They completely remodeled my kitchen, repaired problems behind the baseboard in the living room, removed two built-ins, a closet and a short wall between the living room and the foyer, replaced lighting, painted and laid LVP flooring throughout all three areas. The owner's creativity shines through in their innovative ideas. For instance, they significantly transformed the living room by removing the built-ins and connecting wall, creating a spacious and open layout. This was a game-changer for me, and I would not have thought of it myself. When they finished, new LVP flooring covered every surface, and the walls were painted to perfection. A doorway between the kitchen and the garage was widened, and a new door installed. The closet and built-ins in the living room were completely removed, and all new cabinetry, a double wall oven, refrigerator, cooktop, sink, and pot lights were installed in the kitchen. The backsplash was exactly what I wanted. It is absolutely beautiful. To ensure a seamless match, the owner and their crew showed up with some used light fixtures from their warehouse, providing them at no cost. I will have them back to install new light fixtures in the living room when I have the funds. Amazingly, A R General Contracting completed the entire project in just three weeks! The owner's daily presence and the dedication of their crew ensured that every detail was meticulously executed. AR General Contracting does not start a job and then disappear to work on another job. They stay on the job until it is completed. Their prices are very fair. Payments are made along the way in a very reasonable sequence. There were no subcontractors - - they have all their bases covered with professionals on board. They can do anything that has to do with your renovation, plumbing, electrical work, painting, etc.. This was my first experience having renovations done and I was blessed to find A. R. General Contracting. We all have heard horror stories about working with contractors doing renovations.

Not a fan at all. My…read morebasement had flooding issues and when I tried to bring this to my elderly parents' attention, they somehow decided to finish the basement, despite the musty smell and this seasonal flooding for 20 years. I was hoping that maybe Hivex would identify this issue and maybe back me up on this point before they fully converted it to a rentable living space. But they didn't. We then got a huge rain which left visible signs of flooding and standing water on the basement floor. When I told my Dad, he said it was due to Hivex mopping the floor. I was certain that Hivex would help clear this up and attribute the water to the recent storms. They didnt--they confirmed (lied?) to my dad that it was due to their mopping a few days prior. So then they started installing the framing for the drywall, despite the smell and standing water. I knew the project was doomed at this point because once the drywall went up, that moisture would be sealed off behind it and the mold would just flourish. That's when we got the biggest storm in Spring of 2025 which resulted in catastrophic flooding of the basement, leaving zero doubt about the flooding. (This is also a common-sense issue in our area, which has heavy clay soil). We hired a basement moisture company to deal with the seasonal flooding but we had to remove the framing to install the dewatering trench at the base of the wall. At this point, they were really behind schedule. The price was outrageous. Over $80K. My friend just finished his basement and oversaw the drywall, electrical work, cabinetry, etc. He did his basement, which is larger, for around $20,000. The mark up was huge and I was really expecting more. Hivex is for people who love to spend money. Little things they missed: 1. Basement door will not lock and the GC never coordinated with the basement moisture people as to who's fault this was. I thought the GC was supposed to solve things like this and not let things fall through the cracks? 2. Ceiling fan is supposed to reverse during the cold months. This feature is broken which really sucks in the winter time, when all the warmth stays on the ceiling. 3. Faucet was really loose and I had trouble correctly tightening it. Frustrating for a few weeks as it gradually loosened and I had to keep fixing it. 4. The reverse pump for the bathroom was not even sealed. There was a visible gap on the lid of this device and the smell was AWFUL for a few weeks. My aging parents cant smell anything so they just said I was crazy. After a few weeks of this smell, they finally had someone come to seal it. This worker seemed very honest and he said it was bad they missed this. Nasty Hivex. 5. They have really bad deals and poor quality when it comes to their cabinetry and kitchen design options. (Cheap stuff designed to maximize profits). They also refuse to work with whatever company you went with for the cabinets/hardware/faucet. Again, whats the point of the GC if they arent coordinating with everyone? We went with IKEA and it was SO chaotic and horrible. Its basically an automated company at this point.

What a GREAT experience we had with Pro Edge! JR, the owner, responded to my initial inquiry rather quickly. Scheduled an appt. to do our walk through, within the week, and had our quote back to us that evening. While JR was at our house he was kind, thorough, honest and confident in his team's ability to come in and get the job done, quickly! His quote was very reasonable and time was a big factor for us. On top of their wood replacement and painting services, we used, Pro Edge also offers a complimentary designer, when you spend over a certain amount. What an extraordinary service offered, especially when you are on the fence with color choices, like we were. She was THE BEST!!!! Natalie's artistic eye and color recommendations were spot on with our vision. She was patient and so much fun!!! I wish she could have stayed for dinner. :) After having a cancellation, JR took the initiative to reach out and offer an earlier start date, that worked out better for us! The Pro Edge team came in ready to roll and they worked so hard. While we were initially told it would take 3 days, this team of 5-8 people each day, came in and wrapped this project up!!! From set up to clean up, the detail and the persistence of this team was something to aspire to. They were all extremely kind and accommodating to my final walk through requests (and I am very picky). I will hands down be using Pro Edge for our next big project... and YOU SHOULD TOO!!!

I first met the owner directly for the initial inspection (Dominic). He was punctual and precise, and was extremely easy to explain to everything I wanted done. I started just letting them do the Painting and baseboards, but they do much more, and I am giving them more work towards my remodel. This company gave me the best price (by a pretty large margin), they communicated clearly each step, and did an outstanding job. No hidden costs, I didn't feel stressed, I felt comfortable that I was in good hands. I got estimates from a bunch of companies on Angie's list, but so glad I turned to Yelp and found Green and Gold. I would suggest anyone give them a shot, you will not be disappointed! Thanks guys!!!

I appreciated the contract was professional and comprehensive with provisions to address repairs/corrections (if necessary) after work is completed. Their quote was not the cheapest and not the most expensive. The workers were professional, adaptable to changes, and demonstrated pride in their work through the lifecycle of the project. I also appreciated they took their time installing the sheetrock and made all of their cuts with precision and tight fitting joints; they pre-cut wiring box, lighting, and HVAC holes prior to hanging rather than roto-zipping the holes, which mitigated potential damage to wiring in boxes. They were responsive and non argumentative to touch up areas I identified that needed sanding and/or paint; and they independently performed their own quality assurance touch ups throughout the process. They used quality Sherwin Williams paint and applied multiple coats to ensure uniform application. Great company, leadership, and workmanship overall. They completed the project without pauses and used the same workers throughout. In the end, all of the sheetrock lines are crisp and straight and the surfaces are smooth and even. While I do most of my own projects, I will certainly seek G&G services for future projects I have in mind! Big thanks to the team for a job well done and the care you have given to our home!
