We decided to go with Sam after receiving 5-6 quotes ranging from 5k to 25k different in final prices. Sam's quote fell closer to the lower end. It took exactly one month to complete the entire basement. During this time, Sam was always on site and ready to answer any questions necessary. He was reachable by text or phone during almost all hours of the day. I am extremely pleased with the final product. Like almost all major projects, we encountered numerous hiccups but Sam always had an answer and did so with us in mind. He is honest and ethical and I would hire him for any future projects we have.

Not knowing a thing about reconstructing a kitchen, Sam walked me through the entire process and overlooked everything. Communication was exceptional and the work crew was punctual and hard working.

Garage We wanted to…read moreconvert a carport into a garage. We didn't know who to hire. Someone recommended a guy. We got an outrageously high quote from Sears. Then we asked some local contractors for bids. When this guy showed up, he was very serious. He took measurements so as to provide an accurate estimate. He gave us a bid that was competitive with the other bids. We also did some online searches. We checked out the Better Business Bureau and the state licensing. This business has been licensed to practice in Virginia since 2006, and the owner was licensed under his own name since 2001. There were no complaints with the Better Business Bureau, not one. So with a track record like that we were confident that he would be a good pick. Our job wasn't particularly challenging, but he did the work and did the work well and timely. We have no complaints in the work he did. He even helped us with the local government with getting a permit. This business does a lot of other types of home improvement projects, and they have a good website. We were very happy with the work that he did, and we will be calling him if we ever embark on another home improvement project.

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.

There were noticeable gaps in communication, and it felt like no one was really on the same page. I had to follow up multiple times just to get basic information, and the level of organization behind the scenes didn't match the polished exterior. Something just felt off. It's possible they're going through changes or growth pains, but from what I saw, there are deeper issues with consistency and leadership. I ended up moving on and choosing a different company.

They were extremely attentive to the scheduling needs of the institution, working over Holiday periods so that no normal operations were disrupted and responding immediately to an unanticipated issue, addressing it very creatively and professionally for the client. JPBD also did a home remodel project for me in Herndon on an early 90's house that desperately needed a new staircase design, laundry room relocation, addition of a bathroom, improved flow throughout the first floor, and numerous HVAC adjustments to accomplish. Their crews were on time, on task, and very easy to work with. They will be back for future projects! Darragh Davis
