It was Thusday 5pm... on my 4th call to get help, Blackstar picked up the phone on the second ring! Mark, the owner, took down my info and advised they'd find the time to help. He let me know, he's an honest person who runs an honest business. I agreed for him to assign someone to stop by. Meanwhile I got in touch with HOA for siding color and model. Mark, himself, came to the house and replaced my siding a couple days later. Took less than an hour! Super nice person, and very caring. Cost was reasonable and budget-friendly! I cancelled my request with home owners insurance assist and paid out of pocket. I'd like to put in another request with Blackstar Home Improvement once I get a good list together! *Let me add that none of the other 3 local businesses ever called me back. Thanks Blackstar Team!!

We recently hired BlackStar Home Improvements to pull and replace our deck. After several…read moreastronomically priced quotes and some unnecessary power point presentations later, we met Mark, the owner. He was super down to earth and friendly. Right away, we knew he was trustworthy and running a good, quality business. Not only did he come in at almost 1/2 the sticker price of the big wig companies, the process was seamless. Once we got HOA and county permits, the project manager, Ryan took over and was phenomenal to work with. He communicated with us daily on what to expect throughout the process and answered any questions we had. The laborers were also friendly and courteous. The job was completed within the estimated time frame and met all of our expectations. There were no hidden additional costs and it was by far, the best experience with a contractor that we have ever had. BlackStar has built many of the decks in our neighborhood and comes highly recommended.

Most recently they have replaced the roof, siding, as well as some windows and doors. For the value and trust one must put into contractors, you would be hard pressed to hire a better company. They are always polite and respectful when on site. Their quotes/estimates have always been competitive, and have even come in under budget. That's something you never see! Overall, they're excellent to deal with, and I will use them again when needed.

One of the projects was an insurance claim from the hail storm in Middleburg back in 2016, another was a roofing project at a small commercial building in Flint Hill, VA and now my current claim from the wind storm on March 2, 2018 here in Potomac Green. Cesar Cortes who is the owner of CC Total Roofing is a certified roofer and is meticulous for detail. He is experienced in negotiating and submitting insurance claims. I highly recommend his services. He does other construction as well.

Top notch customer service and communication. Brandon is extremely professional and experienced. He…read morecomes highly recommended by many of the neighbors in my community. We were tired of dealing with clogged rain gutters every spring and fall, so we called Brandon to see if he could clean them out and install gutter guards. The back of our home is 3 stories tall, so it was too precarious a job for my husband to tackle. Brandon also noticed that the gutter below our metal roof was too narrow to handle the rain volume we get during heavy storms, so he offered to replace that with a larger one that would catch the rapid runoff. We're so glad he did! No more waterfalls off our front porch. The gutter guards now prevent debris backup. Highly recommend Brandon and his team. They are very courteous and professional. They were in and out while we were away at work and they sent us photos of every gutter that was fixed. If we ever need our roof or Hardie Board siding repaired, we're calling the Harriford team!

A red flag should have gone up the first time he let go of the kite string...but then he did it again, only this time, the string got stuck on a neighbor's 2nd story house! I thought about buying a really tall ladder, but the risk of failure didn't seem like it was worth it. I hate height more than I hate spending money for something stupid like this. I called Harriford Exterior Restoration, because they seemed to be the closest thing to any kind of roof service and located in the area. I talked to Brandon who laughed, when I explained my predicament and said in all his years he'd never had a call for removing something off a roof. He was very accommodating. Once he found out that I actually lived in the same neighborhood as him, I think he couldn't say no at that point. I asked him what a fair price would be, and we negotiated a number that both of us was happy with. After we made arrangements, my wife reminded me that we actually had some missing roof shingles. He removed the object off the neighbor's roof and repaired our roof according to his normal hourly rate. I am very impressed with Brandon's ability to be honest, helpful, flexible, and fair, even for something so trivial as getting something off the roof.

I was looking for someone to paint my kitchen and bathroom cabinets as well as trim, ceilings and walls. It's easy to find a painter, there are so many, but you want someone who is reputable. Mike had before and after photos of his work especially cabinet painting which helped me make my decision. I was a little nervous about painting the cabinets and how it would turn out. Mike painted our cabinets, walls, trim and ceilings in the kitchen and bathrooms. He did a fantastic job properly prepping the surfaces. Everything turned out great. My wife is so happy. A happy wife, a happy life! If you are looking for a great painter, stop looking, Mike's your guy! He is friendly, hard-working and does an exceptional job.

I do recommend W & A construction, very professional business, will call them again in the future.

For someone to go so far as to seek further revenge on a person they have already victimized, is cause for great concern.
