We signed a contract with Graves to remodel our kitchen and both upstairs bathrooms. We were told…read more(AFTER we signed) that it would take 4-6 weeks for the cabinets to be ready, so this delayed our project until around the holidays. They were gracious enough, however, to replace our stove (which we needed for Thanksgiving) and fixed/patched a hole in the ceiling in advance of the project. So, that was nice. The problem, though, was that 4-6 weeks turned into FIVE MONTHS. We signed in October, and the project didn't start until March. I think in today's pandemic world, that would have been a lot more understandable given supply chain issues, but we were told this was a personnel issue on the contractor's side. Okay, whatever, we rolled with it. We lived with the old rooms for several years... what was a few more months? The remodeling went well, but instead of 6 weeks, it lasted 8 weeks. Again, not really our biggest gripe. We understand timing and how projects can get wonky sometimes. But, the problem here was, there was no communication from their side as to what the delays were and when we could expect work to resume. In fact, every update we received, it was after WE called THEM. We never received a proactive call from the company. Until... my first Yelp review. It was basically the same as above, with some errant backstory from another vendor that got confused into the mix. Then, we had a call immediately from the owner, within 24 hours of posting the review. So, why did our project manager use this same proactive outreach when working on our project? Why did it take a negative review to stir action? To their defense, half of the issues we pointed out (missing cabinet posts, leak from the commode, stain in the kitchen ceiling from leak/water damage, loose fixture in the bathroom). The other half (repainting the ceiling, loose bathroom faucet fixtures, loose commode not properly in place, dishwasher not attached to the counter and pulling on the paneling) were never addressed. Fast forward to today, and we have a leak (again) in the same commode because there is an unsecured PVC ring that was used to raise said commode for apparently no discernable reason. This has lead to a gradual leak that caused yet another hold in our ceiling, not to mention the cost of having the leak identified and resolved by an outside contractor. At this point, I'm not going to be pressured to recant my review. These are the facts and potential customers should be made aware of our experience. Each of the three remodeled rooms has lingering issues, some more severe than others. Aesthetically, the work was very well done, and we do enjoy the functional and well-working aspects. The parts that need addressing, however, have already cost us additional and unnecessary funds to rectify. This has been an overall unsatisfactory experience.

Somehow, they skipped painting our front door the first time and only painted the storm doors, breaking and painting over the latches that hold them shut. We had the storm door repaired ourselves and asked them to notify us when they came back a second time to paint the front door. This second time, the workers removed part of the storm door to paint the front doors and did not put it back. Kolas refuses to accept responsibility for fixing it or compensating us for the repairs and has ignored our emails.

Because of the homeowners association, we were required to replace some rotted wood around the gutters as well as repair and repaint the window trims. The carpenters came first, repairing all the rotten wood, even a piece that wasnt originally discussed but they made it happen! They were very polite, professional, and really took their time in the repairs. The painting was scheduled for the following day and just like the carpenters the day before, they arrived early at 8:30 and started to set up for painting. They even refreshed the paint on the rails and front porch, making the house look fresh and clean. Everything looks great! We couldnt be more pleased. Berto, the carpenter, even gave us some advice on how to fix our leaning fence post. We will surely be using Kolas again in the future!

If I could give 0 stars I would. Lofft Construction was recommended to us by some neighborhood…read morefriends. Alex came to our house and gave us an estimate to repair our front steps and told us they would last a very long time. A few days later, his workers showed up, unannounced, asking what they needed to do. I told them I have no idea, and my husband is not home, and to coordinate a time with him. A few days later (on a Sunday), they showed up unannounced again! My husband was out again! They asked me to pick a paint color and I asked if that is included in the price we were quoted and they said they didn't know. As I was trying to figure that out, it came out that they don't think repairing the stairs is a good idea and they can't even guarantee they won't break again for even 3 days. I asked if it would be a lot more expensive to redo the whole thing and they said it would be exponentially more expensive. I told them we'll talk to Alex and get back to them. 30 minutes later, Alex calls my husband screaming at him! He told him that we shouldn't ask his contractors about prices and that he doesn't work that way and that we should find someone else to work with and hung up the phone on my husband! He was literally screaming at my husband on the phone. And then hung up on him. There are so many issues with our experience starting with the fact that the workers kept showing up without prior notice and asking a lot of questions as if they didn't know what they were supposed to be doing. And then of course the fact that he was trying to scam us into doing something that he knew might not even last the week. And then finally, calling my husband and screaming at him and hanging up on him because his workers were asking us a lot of questions?! It's just been an atrocious experience. I recommend avoiding him at all costs. UPDATE: Alex is now threatening my husband over text messages because of our review. We are just stating facts. He said we are inappropriate to contact him on a Sunday when it was his contractors who showed up at our doorstep, unannounced, on a Sunday, and we were just calling to clear things up with him because they had no idea what they were supposed to do and were asking me a lot of questions. He also accused us of trying to strike a deal with his subcontractors, something that didn't cross our minds for one second. We were just trying to figure out if the paint his contractors were making me choose was included in the estimate he provided us.

The work was ultimately completed 9 months after signing the contract, but that was about it. The sub contractor was not paid in full, and we paid out of pocket for the materials needed to complete. No final walkthrough was performed. Steve delayed every stage of the construction claiming to be sick, or by failing to pay for materials or sub contractors on time, or failing to pay for, or submit required permit docs on time. We later heard from other subcontractors that did smaller work on the property that they were not paid, and were threatened with liens, yet another painful part of this project. A closer look later led to trail of default judgements against Steve. For reference check out Arlington County Circuit Civil Division: CL20000609-00, Arlington County General District Court (Civil) GV23000276-00, GV23002010-00, Fairfax County General District Court (Civil) GV19025745-00 , Loudon County Circuit Civil Division: CL19002828-00, Prince William County General District Court (Civil): GV23016045-00 and probably many many more. To summarize: Look elsewhere for a legal, honest and competent contractor, you will regret the time and effort that you would have to put in to get the work you paid for done.

Horrible! AVOID Bryan Construction Group! Terrible experience!…read more Horrible experience with Bryan Construction Group (BCG) and Steve Stathis, CEO. Company DID NOT follow approved County plans! They didn't build chimney with proper tools, refused to correct the misplaced sump dump drain for 2 years, resulting in water pouring into the yard, destroying $1000's of landscaping. The stone chimney needs $8-10k in repair! We have a 5 year warranty on the home but Steve refuses to honor it or correct his huge mistakes. Due to BCG/Steve's negligence of not building to approved County plans, we were left with a formal Notice to Comply from the County for 4 major infractions! Daily fines can be $133,000 each day! We have both the BCG 5 year warranty AND a notarized letter from BCG/Steve assuming FULL responsibility for any Stormwater issues that may surface with our home. We have 4 infractions related to Stormwater non-compliance as Steve refused to honor the County approved building plans during construction. Steve strung us along for almost 2 years with written correspondence that he is totally responsible for ALL corrections and would absolutely honor the 5 year warranty and notarized letter. Yet, they were all lies! Steve skipped Arlington and we are stuck paying for ALL his mistakes! He refuses to answer calls, Email, certified mail or text messages. Bryan Construction Group/Steve Stathis has been dishonest, unethical and has left us with corrections costing $40,000-50,000 or more.... AVOID BCG/Steve Stathis at all costs! The experience with BCG/Steve Stathis has been the WORSE experience of my life!

I reached out to multiple companies as most don't deal with mobile homes in general. I selected to go with this company because not only were they willing to help me deal with my homeowners insurance (Which wasn't much help) they also gave me multiple options to choose from so I could determine what I was willing to pay out of pocket. The others all just immediately went for complete roof repairs instead of looking deeper at my issues and my wants. They thoroughly explained each option along with the pro's and con's of each and did not try to persuade me either way which I enjoyed. Once I made my selection they kept me up to date on the supplies and when they would arrive as well as scheduling me as soon as possible as it is hurricane system and lets face it... it will continue to rain and could get worse. Overall, an enjoyable experience and I will be recommending this company to all my neighbors in my community.

I write to express my complete satisfaction with 'Roofing & More Inc. 1323 Shepard Dr. Unit J,…read moreSterling, VA 20164. I am the owner of a townhouse/condo in Falls Church, Virginia. There was a serious problem with the front door to my unit and swing-patio doors that open on to my side terrace. Over several decades the original doors had rotted and warped, water was leaking into my unit, destroying the hardwood floor near the side door and tiles near the front door, and creating a health hazard. An engineer friend of mine recommended 'Roofing & More.' I called them and from the outset dealt with courteous professionals who made clear they were committed to solving my problem expeditiously. Promptly they sent two experts to my house who skillfully assessed the problem. They spent considerable time with me explaining what needed to be done, thoroughly answering all my questions in terms a lay person could readily understand. Later they sent an expert to take exact measurements. In short order they wrote a detailed proposal breaking down the costs--to replace the front door and its frame and replace the 3 panels of the swing-patio doors on the side of my unit. The detailed proposal contained exact costs for the materials and the charge for installing the replacements. We agreed on the reasonable terms. They quickly ordered the replacement doors crafted to the exact dimensions required. When the replacement doors were finished they promptly scheduled the date for installation. In setting that date they were exceptionally accommodating of my busy schedule. On installation day, their team arrived exactly at the start time. They carried out the work of removing the old front door and old side swing patio doors with great skill. They installed the new replacements with professional care. The crafted replacements fit perfectly. They devoted time to testing the frames and threshold seals they installed ensuring they were watertight. They replaced the part of my hardwood floor that had been damaged by water coming through the old doors. The team did their tasks with consummate professionalism. Sheets of plastic they installed kept dust out of my home as they replaced the doors. They removed every scrap of packaging and any other debris resulting from the installation. They demonstrated to me the action of the new doors and it was clear that the installation was perfect. The workers on the team were obviously experts at their craft. The supervisor was friendly and the entire team was courteous and worked together admirably. The removal of the old components and installation of the new doors was completed in 5 hours. It was impressive. I had an expert engineer/architect look at the work the next day and he described it as outstanding. Given the high quality of the work, the total cost was reasonable. My home now is secure from the elements and any intrusions. I'm exceedingly happy with my experience with 'Roofing & More' and give them my highest recommendation. Michael Hurley
