"Positives: The design work was great. We spoke with several kitchen companies before deciding to go with VKB, and Joe, the designer we worked with, put the most effort into hearing what our goals were and creating a creative plan for us. He was knowledgeable and helpful, and had a good eye to notice things that we hadn’t considered. He also offered helpful suggestions regarding cabinets, countertops, paint colors, etc. We were happy with the finished product. Negatives: The biggest issue we encountered was a lack of communication. We discussed various issues with the designer, but these frequently were not communicated to the actual workers doing the job. For instance, when the workers showed up on the first day, they didn’t actually have the plans for what was being done with the kitchen, and we had to explain the job to them. Joe offered to add lighting inside our closet, and we contacted him and said to go ahead and do it, but that information was not communicated to the workers until it was really too late, so it was never done. Sometimes it was 48 hours before we would hear back from Joe when we contacted him with a question during the process of the remodel. Because a lot can happen in two work days, this was sometimes problematic. The second issue we encountered was that when speaking about the project beforehand, words like “plumber” and “electrician” were used, but no plumbers or electricians were actually employed; general contractors did all the work. As a result, we felt uneasy about the quality of the work that was being done. For instance, the evening after our sink was hooked up, it came disconnected while we were using it, with the result that water was spewing all over our under-sink cabinet until my husband reconnected everything properly. Additionally, the cabinet seal on our dishwasher was installed backwards so that the rubber flap was sticking out. (They fixed this upon request.) Issues like these make us feel uneasy, and we weren’t confident that the work we couldn’t see or notice right away was done right. We wish that an actual plumber had been hired to do the work, as we had expected, or at least that it had been clear up front that this would be the case. Finally, we felt that the workers who were actually doing the job were sometimes careless toward our home. For instance, they piled tools and trash on our back patio, but in the process knocked over a plant and crushed flowers in our flower bed. They got paint smudges on a wooden shelving unit in the kitchen while painting. Similarly, certain details of the job were missed until we pointed them out. The finished product came out well, but we aren’t sure it would have if we had not been carefully supervising. (For instance, they forgot to run an electrical line for the oven until we reminded them, and a different faucet than we had selected was installed. These issues were always corrected once we pointed them out, but we were surprised that mistakes like this were made.)"

"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."

"Hodges Windows and Doors did an excellent job. They arrived on time (actually even a little early), were so professional, I was amazed at their proficiency and that they completed the install much faster than I anticipated. They were very personable and provided me with instructions for the care of the windows. From the sales rep to the installers, it was a very good experience and I would not hesitate in recommending them to anyone needing windows or doors."

"Increase your home's living space and add value by adding a 4 season sunroom. It can be on ground level or a second level like ours which adjoins a family room. Our all glass space is truly a spectacular improvement!!! They offer an exceptional insulated glass! Windows slide open for ample screened area for an even more open feeling and fresh air. The company, Patio Enclosures - also known as Great Day Improvement - customizes to each homeowner's needs and wishes. Very professional work from sales to design, supervising, installation and clean-up!"

"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 />"

"WONDERFUL!  I have other contractors take one look at my deck and tell me that whoever built it did a great job.  Steve had to work with another contractor that was doing some stonework and asphalt work who had some difficulty keeping to schedule.  In spite of Steve's numerous efforts to contact the other contractor, he maintained his professional and patient demeanor and made every effort to work around any difficulties that arose.  I would most DEFINITELY recommend Powerhouse Remodeling to anyone and everyone.  Great Job Guys! <br />"
