"We chose VKB mainly on its reviews on this website. Overall the experience was very positive. We were pleased to learn that VBK did not charge a fee upfront to design the kitchen. Calvin (kitchen designer) made excellent suggestions to improve our original vision and was responsive to changes to the design. Calvin convinced us to choose wood floor and crown molding, and the type of range hood, and he was right on all counts! Because of the smooth design process with Calvin and reasonable price, we decided to sign on with VBK over other companies. The implementation phase had some bumps: the design drawings that Jason (project manager) and Ismar (crew leader) started with were not the updated version, but thankfully that was quickly rectified. In addition there were some misunderstanding on the scope of the painting area, but Calvin agreed to honor what we had discussed verbally, even though it was not spelled out in the contract. Jason listened and patiently explained the project process, and kept asking to make sure that we were happy with the progress. For example, he agreed to redo the placement of the undercabinet lights. He also accommodated our desire to donate our old cabinets to Habitat for Humanity, and Ismar and his crew carefully took the down the cabinets and stored them in our garage for pickup later in the week. Ismar, Luis, and the rest of the crew did a fantastic job installing and painting everything, and their experience showed in disguising the fact that our walls were not straight and the floor was not even. We were also impressed with the laser tools that they used to guide cabinet and light placements. The crew was careful, meticulous, and respectful, and they cleaned up throughly every day. There were other crews handling the flooring and countertops, who also did top notch work, and all were coordinated like clockwork by Jason. Along the way, we learned some lessons and offer the following advice: if you are particular about the placement of your celling lights, electrical outlets and switches, let the crew know, and they will do their best to accommodate. Also, pay attention to every single detail in the contract; if not specified, there can be a misunderstanding, and a deviation may require a change order and extra expense. Overall, we were extremely pleased with the excellent quality of the work, and even though there was a delay in the backsplash order, the job finished as projected. We definitely recommend VKB, and we love our new kitchen. Jason -- we are happy!"

"Deck and Fence was actually the last deck builder we spoke to about building a deck and a patio underneath that would stay dry and usable during rain (thanks, Trex Rainscape!). They were different from the other builders we talked to in many ways. Unlike the others, on their first visit, Deck and Fence showed us many samples of the deck flooring, railing accessories and hardscape options we could choose from, as well as a fairly detailed to-scale diagram of how the deck and patio underneath would come together. Even better, the representative was able to show us pictures of the actual decks and patios they had built and that had the options and design we discussed. None of the others presented samples or had pictures, even after multiple visits. It was easy to close the deal because the pricing presented on the first visit was detailed enough for us to tweek what we wanted to fit into our budget and we had a very good idea of what the finished product would look like. They started building the deck within the time frame discussed and answered all of our questions about the materials, construction, permits and other details as the project progressed. Spending this money for an addition to our house was a big deal for us, but my wife and I never felt a "hard sell", just knowledgeable and honest answers. It's nice to have county inspections as the project progresses, but you have to have confidence in the builder and we did, initially, and it grew as we saw the addition take shape. In fact, a few weeks after it was complete, we decided on a second phase that would extend the patio and that was completed within the estimated time, as well. We especially appreciated the care the crew took with our underground irrigation system. The crew also showed attention to detail and were friendly and professional and left the back yard in good shape after both phases. We believe we got our money's worth here and we recommend them without reservation."

"The sun room is absolutely beautiful.  We and our cats both love it and we’re out here all the time.They were a little slow in getting started but once they got started they completed the work in about a week.  A team of 4-5 complete the work. They were good about cleaning up after themselves each day and we were  comfortable having them in our home.  When you call them, Holly is great.  She was great getting us vertical blinds. Also, when Hurricane Sandy hit, it damaged the metal roof and they came out promptly to fix this.  I’m so glad we did this."

"Extraordinary professionalism and precise results both on the patio and the conversion of the porch to a beautiful sunroom. Vic does almost one hundred percent of his own work. We could not be more pleased."

"When I bought my circa 1984 Reston town home 6 years ago, I didn't realize how many things were not "standard" size. When the Fairfax County Fire Department forced entry through my front door (due to a small fire next door) which caused me to replace both the door and the jamb, not even *that* door could be installed without serious tweaking and modification by professional door installers. Therefore, it came as no surprise that when something as "simple" as a sliding screen door on my deck, which was the wrong size to begin with, finally gave up the ghost entirely, the search to find a properly fitting and functioning screen door became a quest. Nothing HD and Lowes sold would fit. Nor were their employees vaguely knowledgeable. I found an on-line company that custom makes screen doors/windows to specification, but measurements had to be to taken (by me) to the closest 16th of an inch. Their on-line instructions were rather intimidating and the diagrams caused more consternation than confidence. Although I am capable of many home fixes, I was concerned that I would spend over $200 only to wind up with a non-returnable 32"x80" paper weight. My living room is small and most of the rear wall is comprised of French doors that look out across my deck and trees. I've always considered it a living painting and often thought a retractable screen would be most aesthetically pleasing, allowing the view to be uncluttered by screening, which currently was seen through one side of the door or the other, regardless of its position. Not to mention I had a high degree of concern that the door be absolutely bug-tight! I love to let the air in, but not bugs, which seem to have an affinity for both my deck and my person. If the screen door could not fit tightly enough to keep out the smallest of intruders, then I might as well seal the doors and treat them as windows. I called no less than 5 contractors/general handymen from Angie's List hoping to find someone who would take measurements, install and, if necessary, tweak a new sliding screen door. No one would touch the job. Too much trouble for too little money, they said. I found Tri-State by trolling the web. They had a "cicada special" in May. I called. Phone staff was friendly, informative, answered all my questions and allayed most of my concerns. It was more money than I had been willing to spend when I began my search two years ago, but after ending up at so many dead ends the cost was softened when I factored in their warranty, that they come and custom fit the door on your property and they will come out and address any problems for two years. I told Tri-State I had to have my siding painted before I was ready for the screen door, so the installation was finally done in June. I was told they would come between 8:00 and 9:00a during the week. They came at 8:15 and I was on the road to work in a hour. Carl and a helper measured my doorway, set up a saw horse and custom fit the door on the front sidewalk after plugging in their saw in my kitchen (no outlet at the front of my house). They installed the door jamb on top of the existing aluminum threshold. Carl showed me how to re-seat the screen in case some person/dog walks through it. Also, how to keep the tracks clean and lubricated with silicone spray (NOT WD-40). They left me a can of lubricant when they were done. The whole process was quick and painless and I wish I had bitten the bullet a few years ago. I'm very happy that I have an unimpeded view of my deck and trees 24-7 and I am looking forward to having my door open to the air while keeping the bugs out once the humid summer changes to autumn. <br />"

"Overall, I thought the person that came to my home to give an estimate of the patio we wanted to build was not very professional. She came up with a sketch for the patio which did not incorporate the design ideas that I wanted. She was willing to re-sketch the design 2 times to get it right, but then seemed to get annoyed that I asked questions about the materials that were being used, the options that were available...etc. Granted she may have been having a bad week, but I expected more. Ended up going with a different contractor and glad I did because the quote I got from them was $1000 less and I loved the job they did.  <br /> Overall, I would give them a B-. <br />"

"I would give the subcontractor who built and completed my deck an "A". The subcontractor and his team arrived each day promptly to the job each day.  If they had any feedback, they will leave a note.  They had ensured that the installed deck had completed the county inspection.   The subcontractor who had built the small patio, I would give him a B-.  There were some quality issues. <br />   Now, for the Powerhouse Remodeling Company, I would give them a "C-".  They were very attentive when they were consulting about the deck.  Once the financing agreement was approved and signed, this was the last time I heard from them.  I thought I would hear from the company owner to ensure I was happy with his company.  Unfortunately, no response from this company. <br />"

"Professional work crew did an excellent job. Windows look beautiful and we are extremely pleased. We did lots of research on types of windows b/c we needed wooden windows inside. We decided on the Anderson b/c we put them in one room last year and were extremely happy with how they turned out. The company has been responsive and the salesman even thought to have wooden inlay on the screen for my kitchen casement window so that the interior would be perfect. Little details go a long way. The cost of brass hardware did increase the overall cost but it matches our period home. Overall, we were very pleased with the entire process."
