"This contractor was reliable, and paid attention to detail. His prices were fair, and he was sensitive to my concerns. The job took a bit longer to complete than originally planned, but I'm quite pleased with the result overall. The house is an historic Victorian, so there were plenty of un-expected discoveries (as the original siding was removed). Repairs were made expertly, and the home restored to it's lovely appearance - with the luxury of today's heat, insect, and water resistant siding products."

"Geoff was extremely professional from the beginning to the end. We could not be more pleased with his work. He took great care to protect our floors and cabinets, which were not being changed. He arrived at 8 each day and often stayed until 6pm or even later. Geoff took care to do the job correctly, not quickly. Several times during the job, Geoff discovered flaws in the original construction; for example, the original custom shower had been improperly installed, resulting in a shower pan leak that caused severe rotting in the shower curb and the walls. Needless to say, that won't happen in the future, not with the care that Geoff took to build the shower properly.

This was not a simple bathroom remodel. Geoff installed 20x20 tiles from floor to the 11 foot ceiling at the fireplace wall. Also, the trim tile that we had selected was a pebble tile that was not easy to work with, but Geoff made it look perfect. Even the small touches, like light switches, were thoughtfully done. We could not be more pleased with the result.

PS Geoff, our dogs miss you!"

"Initially Great! Jason came out and was very honest and knowledgeable. He shared what he would recommend to help with my structural damage / cracks and promptly sent out a report. After I made my decision to secure their services the contact  was lacking. A timeline or update would of put my mind at ease between the time they received the deposit and the actual services started. The work started and each day there was progress. Totally pleased. The final walk through: - Had a sticking door and was shown a trick to correct that by placing a rag in the door jam, the soil placed back in the ground was lumpy and full of brick/stone, brick mortar was not the right color but thought it would just lighten as it dried. A few months later...the mortar is definitely not the right color, there isn't a strap to hold down my downspouts and one of the downspouts fell off. I haven't contacted the company to correct as I will just live with the color and rig my own downspouts. The great news is I feel secure about the foundation work.

"We used A1 exterminators for several years. In the beginning we used them to change the dehumidifier filters. We started using them because the previous owners had used them to redo the crawl space and install a the humidifier. At some point we also started using them for pest control. We did their Guardian Plan from beginning. The guys they sent over were nice and courteous and always helpful. We were pleased with service until we were selling our home and records of services provided were requested and they refused to give them. We were needing information on if they had caulked some cracks in the foundation when they sealed everything when the dehumidifier was installed. I even had the previous owner call and give them permission to release this information. They accused me of trying to get information out of them that didn't belong to me. Funny thing is, there were absolutely no issues, but they were immediately defensive and accusing me of being in a bad place with our buyers. She talked over me to the point and was so rude, I told her to shut up. That was the end of anything I ever wanted to do with them. Had the owner of this company not been the rudest person I have ever dealt with in my life, I may have left them a good rating. Based on how she treats a customer of 4 or 5 years, I could never recommend them to anyone. Read their reviews yourself. Their bad customer service speaks for itself. When I mentioned this company to the buyers real estate agent, he confirmed that they weren't reputable as did the escrow company that did our closing."

FAQs for shed, barn or playhouse building service projects in Norfolk, VA

Most sheds larger than six feet by eight feet require a foundation to remain level and dry. A compact tool shed might get by without one, but anything heavier should sit on at least a 4-inch-thick stone-and-gravel pad that extends two feet past the walls. The gravel protects wood skids and promotes drainage. If you want maximum stability—and your budget allows—a poured concrete slab is the strongest option.

Your ideal shed size hinges on purpose. A common 10-by-12-foot kit gives you 120 square feet—plenty for lawn tools and bikes. Need just a spot for a mower and a few rakes? A compact 4-by-7-foot model should work. If you’re envisioning a workshop or hobby room, look at 12-by-16 feet or larger.

A good rule is to raise the shed floor four to six inches above the surrounding soil. That clearance encourages water to drain away instead of pooling beneath the structure. The simple step is especially important for wood floors and skids, helping deter rot, mold, and insect damage while extending the life of your new outbuilding.

Choose the route that fits your goals. Prefab sheds arrive in standard layouts and go up fast—perfect for basic storage on a tight timeline. Custom builds cost more and take longer, but let you add windows, wiring, plumbing, and unique finishes. Balance budget, features, and timeframe before deciding which type of shed is best for your needs.
