Get matched with top major home repair pros (general contractors) in Colonial Beach, VA

"Where do I start? Danny and his team are total professionals! He is responsive, takes his time in answering all your questions and does an incredible job! I went wall paper crazy and after realizing I went in over my head budget wise, Danny was willing to work with me and come back every time I was able to buy wallpaper for different rooms in my house. Although his schedule is usually booked he made sure to fit me in somehow. Not only do they do great work but the fact that they are honest and professional makes their service all the better! After I had found Danny at Picture Perfect I was informed by my management sales representative that his team also installed the wallpaper in the model homes in our community. No wonder why I went wall paper crazy...he did such an amazing job I needed my home to look like the model and it definitely does! I will continue to hire Picture Perfect for all my future projects and will gladly recommend them to family, friends and clients!"

"We have used this contractor several times in the past and his service has recently been declining. This last time we were really disappointed. He quoted a price for the above work and completed about 75% of it. We paid him in full and then he did not come back. When we asked him when he was planning on finishing the work he was unresponsive. When we finally got in touch with him he said he was booked up for the next week and wouldn't be able to finish the work.  (He left a room unpainted, caulking incomplete, paint tape and tools out, and didn't power wash a door. We also had paint splatters from some painting that he did complete on a darker colored wall.) As I said before, he was usually very professional so this time we were disappointed. <br />"

"Amazing. I can't recommend Joe and his team highly enough. From the very first, Joe was consistently responsive- showing up with very little notice on a Saturday and patching our initial roofing problem at no cost the same day. It spoke to Joe's integrity and I knew we had found the right contractor for the job. Joe was able to bring in a roofer, and a contractor who did an incredible job with the drywall. Everyone was on time and worked within a more than reasonable budget. All in all, our young family is grateful to Joe for bringing some normalcy back into our lives."

"We live on a hill, with a set of steps to navigate the front yard, that end in a landing at the bottom. They were destroyed in an accident. Steve and his crew at SS Creative were the contractor I selected to repair the work. They did an excellent job matching the new construction to the old construction. Although I didn't expect it, they finished the job on Christmas Eve! I intend to call them for future projects. Excellent craftsmanship!"

"Hooshang and Robert were excellent.  The price was very reasonable and much less than a competing offer I received.  During the free estimate, Hooshang immediately knew what I was looking for and provided the estimate quickly and professionally without trying to up-sell me.  Today during the installation, he and Robert arrived promptly and did excellent work.  They were professional, courteous, and the result exceeded my expectations.  They knew their business and finished slightly ahead of schedule while still providing me with all of the information I wanted and needed for future touch-up work. <br /> I whole-heartedly recommend them and their work.  Great price, great work. <br />"

"As expected and promised . Field supervisor “John” often monitored project to insure hi quality workmanship was maintained and final inspection at completion. Special mention to company consultant Brent Compton. His demeanor resulted in the project being one of friendship rather than business. Also noted is that their was No “bums rush” for payment at jobs end. Customer satisfaction was at the forefront of Southernwood Roofing. Yes, I would highly recommend this company for any home improvement projects"

"Upon inspection, they determined that proper flashing was in place and no work was needed!"

"This was the best experience ever. Ray and his Team were quite professional and puntual. <br /> And as well they really know what they are doing. <br /> <br /> Once the material was delivered Ray and his team were on top of all of our needs. He made certain to please my wife by matching the siding and roofing to our home perfectly. When asked, at the last minute mind you, if we could add windows, Ray never flinched. <br /> <br /> This contractor will be brought back to our home to remove/replace our rear deck, add on to the roof and close itin a screened porch for us. <br /> <br /> If you are looking for a reference I am your point of contact. I will personally stand behind them all the way. <br /> <br /> Good people. Good workers. Great knowledge. <br /> <br /> C. Randell Adams"

"Great! The response and completion was done in a little over a week. I would definitely use again in the future and would recommend this company to others."

"There is no doubt that we picked the right architect for the job. As one can see from the before and after pictures ? Seth is an incredibly talented designer.  He responded to all of our needs (big and small) and was an excellent advocate for us throughout the entire project. Having completed a project of this size we now realize how important it is to have an advocate for the design as well as for the process. Seth made our dreams a reality.    <br /> <br /> Transforming our 70?s colonial home to meet the needs of modern living would be a great challenge. We considered a long list of architects, but after meeting Seth ? we agreed that he was the right person for the job. Seth Ballard understood our vision. He was easy to communicate with and we found his fees to be reasonable. For us, Seth made the design phase fun. He always entertained our ideas, received them with enthusiasm, and, when possible, quickly incorporated our ideas into the design.  There were two existing limitations that had to be designed around ? our existing home and a county restriction on our lot. Neither of those restrictions compromised the design. The final design was beautiful and much more than we hoped for.   <br /> The bidding phase was a necessary exercise for us, however if we had to do it again we would not have done it since there was extra time and cost ?a result of putting the project out to bid to multiple contractors.  In this process we were looking at cost and accountability.  We met with all the builders and reviewed all their bids.  All five bid proposals were within the dollar range Seth gave us before the project even went out to bid, and with Seth overseeing the project all builders would be accountable to Seth. So while we became better educated consumer through this process ? we went with the builder that Seth originally recommended.   <br /> <br /> It turns out that Seth's relationship with the builder is what is most important.  Because our project was so complicated it required a lot of management.  We are grateful that Seth micromanaged the entire project. He made sure that his design was completed as drawn.  Unfortunately,  we had a few considerable unforeseen condition, lucky for us Seth was able to skillfully navigate a solution.  He was able to get the contractors to agree to do the repairs at their cost and incorporate an added a design element that enhanced the entire project!  <br /> <br /> In the end we believe that Ballard + Mensua's fees were recovered by provided us with two very vital cost saving things: 1. A design and plan that was so fully developed resulting in just a few change orders; and 2. An ability to advocate for us when issues and unforeseen conditions came up.  <br /> <br /> We love our house!  We would use Ballard + Mensua again without hesitation.  Through this process we learned that the most important qualities to look for in an architect is his ability to deliver the design ? and his ability to advocate for that design and for his client!"
