Steadfast does not seem to value their customers, can't get anyone to return a call or respond via email to discuss our projects and schedule an estimate. This was rather disappointing after reading such great reviews about them. read more

We had our front porch re-decked in October, 2017. They demolished the 40' x 6' decking, and replaced it. They also installed PVC trim on the band-board. They gave us a 1-year labor warranty, and lifetime or 25-year material warranty. We were very pleased with their work, especially because they wouldn't install the new decking after the demolition until the supervisor had checked the framing for rot, even though I had inspected it and told them to go ahead. They discovered an area that had rotted and needed to be replaced before they would proceed. I wouldn't have known about this defect until it failed later. Since that time, we have requested that they come back 3 times for fixes. 1) 11/2017, they added some caulk in a small area next to the decking near the front door, because it had been overlooked. 2) 01/2018, there was a cut in the siding on one corner, at the bottom, where the previous decking had been, and after the new decking was installed, that small area looked unfinished. They came and added some trim to neaten up the appearance and now I'm pleased with the way it looks. 3) 10/2018, the PVC trim on the band-board was sticking up a little bit higher the decking, as the decking had settled, which is normal. It was beginning to present a trip hazard. They came and trimmed down the PVC and added corner trim to make it look good and no longer be a trip hazard. It took about half a day to complete. Because they backed up their warranty for no additional charge, and our porch still looks fantastic after a year, we continue to be pleased with our decision to select Steadfast Construction. read more

I struggle with giving out five stars but they are due in this case and my rear deck is perfect! My wife and I just love it. Josh did my intital sales call. After discussing everything he sent pictures of each option and we were able to visulaize exactly what it would look like. Kenny and Miguel managed the project very well and Marco built my deck strong and stylish. Marco had to make some finish decisions about deck cuts and railing accents--he is very good and the small custom cuts that make or break a deck were spot on (you will notice this). I just received my final inspection a few hours ago. They finished ahead of schedule, it looks exactly like the pictures and the final bill was equal to the invoice cost. They will also build my front porch and fence when I am ready to do so. read more

We used Steadfast to remodel our screened in porch to a 4 season sunroom. They had a high rating on Angie's list and chose them after getting 2 other estimates. We are so impressed with Rudy, who did most of the construction. We had a problem in the beginning with getting the permit because of the change in code with Fairfax County. Jack spent a lot of time working with the county to obtain the permit & we were very happy to have the work begin. We took care of ordering all the windows & door & had another company do the insulation. Miguel, the supervisor, worked with our other vendors with scheduling. The whole process took 6 weeks & we couldn't be happier!! Friends & family that have seen the room are VERY impressed. We highly recommend Steadfast Construction. read more

Finally, after having my husband contact them, they did send a subcontractor to come out to replace the support beams. There is still a separation in the central board of the deck where both sides meet in the middle, but trying to have them come out to fix the initial issue was a hassle. But, we were glad to see that they were trying to rectify the issue. Now time will tell whether their fix dealt with the problem. read more

After much analysis in search of best co to build a portch in the back, we chose Steadfast and were glad we did! Besides price being reasonable they are very customer service oriented, easy to work with, helpful in suggesting materials for your deck, etc, etc. I can't say enough about Jack and Kenny who run the company (and their workers are excellent too). Wish all service companies were as good. Highly recomment Steadfast.... read more

We received the original proposal on October 25, 2012. It is now October, 2013 and the work is finally complete. The project was planned to take 8 weeks with wiggle room built in. Expect your projects to NOT start on time - our project was delayed by 3 weeks. Promised if we would be patient and wait they would send a crew that would be dedicated to our project until completion - which was not the case - some days they showed - some they did not - even in good weather. At the end, the crew headed to a new job before the deck was completed which resulted in more delays. EVERY inspection failed the first time - sometimes took 3-4 re-inspections until passing. The reasons were simply lack of attention to detail. (i.e., the plans changed and they failed to inform the county so the inspector could not pass because what was built was different from the plans.) Staff tells you what you want to hear. We had our own construction plans and had pulled the permits prior to the start of the job but were told that they would pull their own permits and drawings and not use ours. One day before the job was to start, we were asked to provide a copy of the permits/plan as they had not taken the time to start from scratch. Seems they have a crisis management style and rarely think ahead to what they need prior to starting the work. We were told our "Project Manager" would come by daily to check on the work, etc. In reality, he only showed up when there was an issue. Problem is he really has no authority to make decisions so all questions go through the owners who seem to be out of the office more than in. The decision makers all seemed to always be on vacation - which of course caused more delays. We were told that we were only the client they ever had that was "hands on". I personally feel like all clients would want to know what the project is going to look like prior to building, and they should take the initiative to call the clients to keep them in the loop of the project status. However this is not how they operate. When I asked for a sketch of the plan, so we could visualize the project, we never received one. Luckily, my husband knows how to prepare sketches/drawings which he supplied along the way, because this was the only way they understood what we wanted. Simply describing what we wanted verbally turned into a miscommunication every step of the way. We were also told that we were the only clients they ever worked with that had to consult their spouse prior to making a decision. I guess we have a different kind of marriage than everyone else as we consult each other when spending large sums of money. When one of the owners stopped by to collect a payment - which we gave him - He decided he was entitled a bigger check even though the work was not complete, he refused to leave our property. Several hours went by until my husband had to threaten to call the police to get him to leave. After this incident, owner would not talk to my husband - all communication went through me. The lack of communication in the office and with the clients is little to none. Do not expect to have call backs if you have questions. We were never contacted for the status of permits, work, and when we would call them, the list of excuses went on and on; Project manager didn't inform owners that we were promised a call back so no one called; Owner couldn't understand the project manager notes so no contact; Owner's mom gave the county the wrong info (not kidding); County made a mistake with the permits, etc. NOTHING is EVER their fault - the blame game is tiresome - they take no responsibility for their mistakes or delays. We found that once they have the money, you will not hear from them until they want more money - then they have no problem communicating. In the end, in order to have the final inspection approved, we had to hire an attorney as they would not respond to my emails or phone calls regarding the status and resolution on this. Bottom line for Steadfast - they will tell you what you want to hear and not follow through with their word. We got to a point where we didn't believe a thing they said and nor should you if you hire them. On the upside, they somehow managed to hire really excellent work crews and because they are actual craftsmen, we are actually pleased with the final product. We were fortunate to have Mirko (carpenter) and Joel on the job - Both are knowledgeable and do quality work - the company's saving grace. Somehow Steadfast has managed to have craftsmen that provide excellent workmanship. The crews deserve a 5 stars rating. If you are ready to be frustrated for months, hire them...if not steer clear. read more

My husband and I hired Steadfast Construction on the advice of our neighbors, who had a stellar experience with them when they hired Steadfast to build their deck, screened in porch, and patio. Based on how beautiful their construction project turned out, it was an easy decision for us. After reviewing three bids, just to be sure, Steadfast came out on top in terms of quality promised and delivered, design and construction expertise, proven track record, excellent customer service reviews, and, of course, value for the price. Our experience with Steadfast was equally as outstanding as our neighbors, and we now have a beautiful new deck, patio, and a shed. And, at every step in the process, Steadfast went above and beyond to ensure that the work was completed on time (except when the weather intervened - and they called us to explain the weather delay and the conditions that would allow them to resume work), to our satisfaction (to include hand picking the deck and railing in coordination with us over the phone and at no extra cost), and within our budget (explaining every item and at every step so there were no surprises). The invoicing was pristine, they handled all the permits and inspections, and worked with us on the design, even when we asked for something to be changed or added, such as building a fence, redoing our walkway, and having no middle posts so we had more open space under the deck to clean our kayaks and bikes. Everything is beautiful, functional, and solid. Everyone we worked with at and through Steadfast was fantastic--friendly, expert, and thorough. And, to top it off - their work is guaranteed for two years. We would highly recommend Steadfast. read more

We had a porch redone and a deck re-decked. Comment: BUYER BEWARE!!! Hint: check out all details of your project and do NOT PAY in full until you have seen your completed project in the daylight of a dry day and are completely satisfied. read more

What work Steadfast did was horribly mismanaged. Several things had to be done multiple times including the permits. Then, about 2/3rds of the way through the project (a month after it was supposed to be done), Steadfast manufactured a long list of things they wanted to charge us more for. For example, the agreement's drawings show a 12/12 pitch roof, which they built, but later Steadfast wanted to increase the price of the fixed price contract by thousands of dollars because shallower 4/12 roofs are normal. We refused to pay. Steadfast walked off the job owing us money for work they did not complete. We are pursuing legal action and filed a complaint with the state regulators. read more
