"Our review is based on the purchase (part 1) for replacing siding for both side of our home. Jacob L. was very professional, on time, and honest. He knows what he is selling. We learned a lot about our home during his presentation. Before we bought our home we paid for a professional home inspection. We thought our house inspector was very good but he did miss something---the siding on the sides of our home was installed extremely bad. Jacob pointed out so much that we just didn't know and should have be caught during our home inpection. Thanks Jacob!!"

Quality work and attention to detail and affordable prices. We are dedicated to providing good customer service to homeowners so that they are happy. Please see some of the services we offer below and call -or- click to schedule a free estimate today!
"This dude shows up on time, 5/5 on that. Leaves 10 minutes later without saying a word. I message him 3 hours later asking if we were still doing the job. 2 hours after that he messaged back saying he had his helpers cancel and we need to reschedule. I ask when he's thinking we can get it done. 3 days later I haven't heard back. I open a new project on Angi, and re-select this same guy by mistake. He replies promptly, gets all the details, and then once he gets my email no further contact. It feels like there's something personal here, or maybe he quoted too low for the project, but in any case I literally cannot imagine a less professional way of handling this whole situation. My guess is that he showed up to the job to scope it out, then went to find a couple day laborers to actually do the work. Maybe he couldn't find any, maybe he realized that this job was too big. In either case, just say so. Jesus."

NOVA Exteriors, Inc. is a 12 time Angie's List Super Service Award Winner in several categories. We specialize in exterior remodeling and have over 50 years combined experience in the Metropolitan Area. We take pride in our work and we would appreciate the opportunity to showcase our services.
"NOVA Exteriors did a wonderful job replacing 3 exterior doors at our home. They checked every box one could ask for. Rob our sales rep was patient and understanding of our needs - even coming back a second time as we had a hard time deciding on what we wanted. Their team worked quickly and did a great job installing some beautiful new doors. We noticed after the installation that there were some imperfections on the hardware installed and they have agreed to replace them & their customer service was top notch. They responded quickly to some minor concerns and went above and beyond to fix the problem. While doors are never cheap, their price was right in line with other Provia vendors and 1/2 the price of Pella vendors. I'd highly recommend them."

Hello!!! I’m Alex Ruffing, welcome to my page! I’m a born & raised Northern Virginian with 19 years in construction services (and counting). I started young, with family, on area commercial jobs; Wolftrap, Metro Garages and Park & Rides, and many of our shopping plazas. Then spent some time traveling the east coast building in the industrial sector; concrete, sky rises. Now I am happy to be home and operating as a Handyman(+). Handyman because I mostly operate independently, preforming all kinds of repair and remodeling opportunities. (+) because I am well connected with reputable tradespeople in the area, and I always happy to discuss larger residential projects; backyard pavilions, outdoor kitchens, shotcrete pools, additions, movie theaters, bars, and wine cellars. My cell phone is (571)320-8605. Do not hesitate to call or text so we can discuss solutions regarding your home’s next repair, remodel, or improvement. With best wishes, thank you. I look forward to hearing from you.
"The work was excellent, and Alex was very personable. He explained everything he planned to do. He showed up when scheduled, and communicated everything. He also took the time to research what paint/stain would be best, and waited for the best time to apply it. He was quick and efficient, and the job came out perfectly, and exceeded our original expectations. We plan to have him back in the spring to do some house trim repair. If you need a handyman, hire Alex. You won't be disappointed."

"Had windows and doors installed by this company. The window installation went great. The bad news is that they do not seem competent at installing door hardware. My door has not latched properly since they made some unwanted modifications to the hardware (it worked perfectly before they started modifying it).have had them out three separate times to fix the issue they caused with the door latch and lock. Every “fix” they do seems to make the problem worse. I would steer clear of this company for door installations."

Pocket doors are more expensive than standard pre-hung doors. While a standard interior door installation costs around $150 to $200, installing a pocket door can run from $1,000 to $3,500, especially on existing walls. The higher price is due to extra work like demolition and modifications. While more costly, installing pocket doors offers benefits like saving space and modern aesthetics that are worth the added expense.
To frame or retrofit a pocket door, you'd need to modify an existing wall to fit the door and its hardware. This process involves opening the wall, ensuring the door has space to slide, and adjusting any wiring or plumbing inside. After creating space, a new frame and track are installed so the door functions properly.
You can use some standard doors as pocket doors, but they must fit the required dimensions. The door has to slide smoothly into the wall cavity, so it must be the right size and thickness. Also, any existing hardware holes need to be adjusted or covered up to work correctly, increasing labor costs.
For a pocket door, you need enough wall space for the door to slide into. A standard 32-inch-wide door requires about 66 inches of wall space in total—including the doorway and the pocket. The wall you install it in should be at least four inches deep to fit the door's thickness.
Installing a pocket door usually takes about six to 12 hours. If your project requires extra work like wall modifications or electrical adjustments, it might take a couple of days. The exact time depends on your home's layout, the type of door you’re installing, and the complexity of the project.
Removing a pocket door involves more than just taking down the door. You'll likely need to open up the wall to access the door mechanism, adjust any wiring or plumbing inside, and then rebuild the wall afterward. Costs can range from $1,000 to $3,200, depending on how much work is needed.
