We live in western Fairfax county and there are lots of home remodelers around our area but we…read moredecided to go with Trivista based on the experience our friends in Arlington had. They had Trivista do a major remodel with new kitchen and were very happy, so we took that recommendation and ran with it. The architect, president and vice president listened very carefully to what we wanted in an addition and drew up plans that encompassed what we wanted. The price, of course, was too high, though. But they worked through painstaking details to bring the price down to what we could afford to borrow (this was a 1900-sq-ft addition). They were perfectly happy to discuss tiny details that could trim the price, including number of outlets, lights, cabinets, whatever. They do a lot of business with Ferguson enterprises where we ordered nearly everything we needed. When we needed advice on anything, they were happy to oblige and their design experience really helped us. They sub-contract all the work to different teams who specialize in certain areas, such as building structure, flooring, HVAC, finishing, cabinet install, etc. At first, I was nervous about this, but it turns out all their subs have been working for them for ages and ages (one guy for 17 years). So you could completely trust they would do a good job. However, the one drawback was that the teams were usually only 2 people and that made the project drag out to the point where we were losing our minds. So that's the only real problem we encountered, was the length of time it took to complete the job. When it was complete, though, we were ecstatic with pretty much everything. We would highly recommend anyone considering an addition or major remodel contact Michael Sauri at Trivista and listen to what he has to say.

I believe that deciding to invest in your home is always an important decision, and who you decide…read moreto work with is of the same importance. We bought a very unique piece of property and decided to build a custom home. Our research led us to Horizon Building. Horizon Building has been building new homes, delivering renovations and home additions for almost 40 years in Northern Virginia. This is a generational family business so you should expect a very personal vs. corporate relationship, and you will benefit from a team that knows how to navigate ever changing Fairfax County building requirements! For us, this is exactly what we had hoped for, as unique projects require collaboration and communication. We are one year into living in our new home, and we are very happy. And Horizon Building Corporation has remained proactive in addressing any concerns that come up as the house settles in. This is a full recommendation to consider working with Horizon Building Corporation for any investment you decide to make in your home.

RJ did a thorough walk through and made some recommendations and said he would send me an estimate the following week.

Emailed a second time about 2 weeks later, and followed up with a phone call a day after that (in which I spoke to his answering service) ... No response! After wasting about 6 weeks of my time I am beyond disappointed and frustrated with this company. If you cant or don't want to do the job - say so up front!

I've been managing a major renovation at my home (we're talking $150K+)--entirely on my own since my husband works out of state and has ZERO involvement in household decisions. In fact, in the past 17-years since purchasing our home, my husband has NEVER been present when I contracted for renovations. This snooty woman took it upon herself to look up the deed to my home without advising me and then had the audacity to advise that %#*&% was listed in addition to me as the homeowner. PARDON ME? She then proceeds to say she couldn't schedule a visit unless the "decision makers" were available. Newsflash: being on a deed does not automatically make someone a decision maker--especially when they're not even present or involved. The whole thing was invasive, outdated, and flat-out disrespectful. If your business model includes digging into people's property records to decide who gets a consultation, you shouldn't be in business. Pro tip: It's 2025. If you're still using the "let me check with the husband" trope, you might want to take a class from a top sales coach and learn how to overcome objections without making sexist assumptions. Your sales training is showing--and it's not a good look. Congratulations--you just lost a $60,000+ job before you ever stepped on the property.

Steadfast stood out from the crowd, and while they weren't the cheapest (or highest!) we couldn't be happier with our choice. James did an excellent job not only working with us to understand what we wanted, especially with an ask related to an ADA compliant ramp in a tight space, but also communicating promptly and thoroughly, asking for clarification and stopping by for in person meetings when I wasn't quite able to cover what I wanted with words and pictures. He also offered great design suggestions and helped us figure out how to get the most value for our dollar. Towards the end of the project James coordinated with the siding company we were working with to ensure there was a seamless connection between the new screened porch and the new siding, including working with the other company to resolve a communication breakdown resulting in a design issue. Franklin and his crew were efficient and easy to work with as well. We'd highly recommend Steadfast to anyone looking for deck or porch companies in this area!!!

Medlin "patched" it, leading us to believe that the "fix" would work but it only grew worse. More cracks began appearing after less than a year.

We called James and requested visits to address the problems, but he never came although he said he would (or would "try"). Project was done in October 2021.

I should have looked better, they have been sued multiple times for the same thing. I gave him an opportunity to fix the issues, but he just had excuses and even went so far as to claim I have a "hidden stream" in that specific spot and that I was being cheap because I only gave him $1500 OVER the price he originally quoted when he came to look this first time.

We met with Chris on October 13, 2025, to discuss replacing an exterior patio door at our home in Leesburg. After we reviewed the proposal, we signed the contract on October 15 and paid the 50% deposit with the expectation, per Chris, that our door would be installed within 6 - 8 weeks. We never heard back from Chris and had to contact him OURSELVES on November 28. At that time, Chris let us know Bob, the installation manager, would contact us the following week. It was shortly after that Chris let us know he NEVER PLACED THE ORDER for the door as discussed on October 15. He then scheduled Mark Arnesen to come to our home on December 5 to confirm measurements for the door and we again believed the order was placed. We heard from Chris again on December 10 to let us know the door would arrive the week of December 22, to then receive an email minutes later telling us the shipping date was updated to January 8. All that to be said, we have not heard from Chris since December 13 when we requested a discount on this order for this major inconvenience. I then emailed the owner, Mark Russow, on January 8, but of course, received NO RESPONSE. We are now going on over 3 months and still do not have our door replaced...but yet I received an invoice for our final balance today...with ZERO DISCOUNT APPLIED. I am more than understanding of the ordering process and delays due to the time of year/ holidays, but I am not understanding of the lack of customer service and communication. We purposefully were trying to work and support local businesses, but I cannot recommend enough to avoid working with this company.
