I posted a review a year ago that was not flattering to Remodelmate. The destruction they caused to…read moremy home in the process of "renovating" it was pretty catastrophic. And it was expensive. I see that today, Chad Hall, the owner responded to my review with blatant lies. I was not refunded. I sued and won my case (Fairfax County General District Court case number GV18005396-00). Then my attorneys spent months trying to collect on my judgement. In the meantime, I had to find another contractor to completely demolish what Remodelmate did and start anew. I even had to replace my carpet on the upper floor due to paint spills and the floor on the main level due to a flood caused by the contractor. Less than zero stars would be appropriate. Buyer beware.

My wife and I were very disappointed by our experience attempting to work with Remodelmate. The…read moreonly positive thing I can say is that we didn't have to sign a contract for the whole project up front, and that allowed us to back out after it became clear that they were not being upfront about how much they were going to charge us for the work when all was said and done. We first contacted Remodelmate in March 2022 after realizing that there was significant damage to the sewer drain pipe connecting to the toilet in the bathroom of our fixer-upper. Because we knew this was going to be a big issue, we jumped on a call with Chad early-on to confirm that repairing/replacing this was included in the estimate (list of "Milestones") they provided so that we could fairly compare it against other estimates that also included it. Chad assured us that it was included and noted that they remodel bathrooms in various conditions with all sorts of problems, and this isn't really that big of a deal. We made the mistake of taking his word for it. Relying on the list of Milestones and their corresponding prices, and our conversation with Chad, we decided to work with Remodelmate. We paid them a $250 deposit, an additional $500 for professional design, and purchased thousands of dollars in materials in anticipation of the start date they assigned us. Much to our surprise, when the contractor showed up on our start date they almost immediately informed us that the sewer drain was not included and would add approximately $4,500 to the cost. The contractor also informed us that a number of other charges had been omitted from the List of Milestones, and there would be significant additional charges to complete the job they helped us design. On the day the work was supposed to start, the total cost for the job went from just over $12,000 to more than $21,000. We immediately contacted Remodelmate expecting that they would honor what Chad told us with regard to the sewer drain. This time we were put in touch with Logan, who initially agreed to talk with Chad to determine whether there was a misunderstanding, but he never gave us an explanation despite repeated requests. He matter-of-factly explained that we would have to pay the full additional charge if we wanted to proceed with the work, and we never heard from Chad again. It was infuriating. We did not understand how Remodelmate could provide us with a design, and what we understood was a complete estimate, only to then say they left out almost half of the steps needed to complete the project as designed. To their credit, Remodelmate ultimately acknowledged mistakes were made and offered a couple of small freebies, but nothing that came close to making up for grossly underestimating the cost of the work, which caused us to choose them in the first place. We were fortunate that at the time we realized who we were dealing with we were only out the $750 + materials, and still had the option to walk away. I'm thankful that we were able to find another reputable company to do the work that was honest and up front with us about the true cost of the work. At first, I worried that may be this is just how the remodeling business works, but we didn't have any of these problems with the company who ultimately did the work on our bathroom. If you decide to go with Remodelmate I would suggest recording any phone conversations with them and if you intend to rely on a commitment from them be sure that every word of it is in writing.

After I posted my review in April, Scott Dijulio contacted us shortly thereafter, which was…read moreappreciated. However, the conversation wasn't about how to make things right. It was more of "sorry you feel that way" and to vehemently defend himself. Sorry, taking that tone is never a successful strategy and not how to build and sustain lasting business or any kind of lasting relationship. I consider myself a reasonable, understanding and forgiving person and don't like to give out negative reviews. I have even changed ratings from 3 stars to 5 stars because the owners kept their pride in check and stood behind their guarantee of 100% customer satisfaction. Whether or not Scott agrees with what the customer says, perception is each person's reality. I stand firm with my 3 star rating for DiJulio Contracting.

We hired Cornerstone remodeling for a master bath, kitchen remodel that included new flooring for…read morethe entire first floor. The end result is absolutely beautiful. We truly appreciated the patience and ease of the initial design phase. The bathroom layout was challenging due to the space available. Kyle and Hannah offered multiple designs, met our questions and requests with a positive attitude and provided excellent suggestions. They worked with us until we got it just right. After the designs were set, the fun part of selecting materials began. What felt overwhelming was made easy and fun with the designer assigned to our project. Hannah was an absolute pleasure to work with. She has an excellent eye for color and space. The end result is a cohesive design that is pulled together with the design elements we chose. One word of advice for both Cornerstone and future customers, know your appliance selections before ordering cabinets. We weren't aware of the level of importance of this step. You would think that refrigerators have standard sizes but they don't. It's more general. Understanding what a 36" range looks like compared to a 48" range will make a big difference knowing what is then available for counter space and cabinet options. Design changes after cabinets are ordered are nearly impossible. For us, all appliances were available for delivery in about 3 weeks with the exception of the range, which wasn't available for 3 months. The kitchen was finished almost a month before the range arrived. Understanding when to place the order is helpful. Cornerstone recommends a local appliance company that is reputable and easy to work with. It took a couple of weeks to work through all of the options and make our choices. We started a little too late and experienced some frustration because of that. What impressed us most was the quality workmanship, professionalism and respect for our home shown by every Cornerstone employee and also every sub contractor provided for the project. We've had other smaller projects in our home and can't say the same. It's obvious that Cornerstone has high standards and expectations for anyone they send to their customer's homes. The end result for the bathroom, first floor flooring and kitchen is absolutely spectacular. Look at their instagram and you will see. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company to family and friends and already have.

After our previous contractor left us without communication and without starting the job, we were referred to Greg, who immediately jumped in to get the job done before our move-in date: from start to finish, they were able to take down the wall, add lighting, and paint the room in one week! They offered super helpful advice and solutions to problems we didn't anticipate, like adding tasteful cedar planks to cover unfinished walls left by the previous owners. Not only were they quick and professional, but Greg patiently emailed back and forth with me while at work (since I couldn't have my phone on me) to go over my ideas and keep me updating on what was going on.

Subsequently, we decided to move forward with his recommendation for an engineer to ensure the wall we wanted to open wasn't a load bearing wall. The engineer came and at the end of his assessment told us his visit and write up would be $900. We were a bit caught off guard but was willing to pay because we wanted to move forward with the project. And then, crickets. No word from Greg or the engineer. After a few ignored emails he finally responded to my husband; he thought it was a different client who he had recently met. When my husband reminded Greg that he already knew him and had come to our house, again, nothing. The last attempt to reach out to Greg was very disheartening. We were honest, saying we had reached out to other contractors, but that we like him and wanted a quote. He told us to move forward with them as he is pretty busy. Period. The end. What a waist of time!!! Unless your the more profitable project, move on!

We had our hearts set on adding a stone patio to our home, but after meeting with a few contractors, it did not work within our budget. When we started considering a deck, we had several contractors say that we could not get the features we wanted (Trex Transcend, black spindles, lighting mounted under the rails, etc.) within our budget. Nick came out to our home, talked with us for several hours, provided an estimate for everything we wanted in our deck, and it was under budget!!! Bruce built our deck; he was very thorough and did a great job. After the deck was completed, we had a problem with the lights not working; both Nick and a person from the lighting company (which is close to where we live) came out to inspect and fix the problem (one of the lights was faulty, but it was replaced the same day).
