"No work was performed, as Steadfast failed to provide a quote for my project. I was excited to discuss my proposed deck renovation with them, based on the many positive reviews I read on Angie's List and their very professional process of scheduling an estimate with me. However, on the date of the appointment, the salesperson failed to show. He called me shortly after we were scheduled to meet to let me know he'd been unexpectedly delayed. These things happen and certainly can be overcome, especially as he assured me he'd call me back later in the day to reschedule. However, he never called back. Two days later, I called the office to inform them of the issue and request they send someone else to estimate the job. They asked for the opportunity to see if they could dispatch someone that same day (a prospect that would have been very satisfactory, as I was available) or, failing that, to make another appointment for later in the week. Again, I was promised a callback that never came. In short, it would seem that my business was not wanted by Steadfast, which is surprising in a market with a great deal of consumer choice. Perhaps it's for the best, however, as I have often seen reliability in the bidding stage of a project portend how the job itself will go. I only wish they had not wasted my time and caused me to arrange my schedule around an appointment they could not manage to keep. UPDATE(02/25/2020):After my initial review, Steadfast's general manager reached out directly to me in order ensure his company was providing the quality service many of the other reviews here reflect. He went above and beyond to ensure his team followed-up with me in an effort to earn my business. I'm very impressed anytime a service provider seeks to overcome an initial failure, and certainly that was the case here. I'd say that speaks volumes about the character of the company and its leadership. I appreciated the professional quote Steadfast ultimately provided and will provide a further review if I choose them to complete my project. UPDATE (04/08/2020):After further discussion with the Steadfast team, I was confident they had the right approach and mindset to complete my project; so I chose to hire them over the other companies I was evaluating. Now that my deck restoration is complete, I’ve very glad I did, as their builders were skillful, conscientious, and did a terrific job. I’m very pleased with the finished result and the composite products they installed. In particular, their install lead, Nelson, was very receptive to my requests and went above and beyond to make sure the work was to my satisfaction. Despite some missteps during the initial quote phase, I appreciate how Steadfast pursued my business and ultimately delivered the job I needed at the right price. I certainly recommend them to you."

As a locally owned and operated small business, Aldridge Enterprises has been serving the Fredericksburg region for over 30 years. As an award-winning contractor, we’re committed to completing your project on-time without flaw. Our dedicated team of professionals have decades of construction experience, and are well-versed in the current materials and codes to ensure your vision becomes reality. Whether you are looking for an addition to your home, a screened-in porch, or a new or refinished deck, we are here to help. Call or click for your FREE estimate today!
"Aldridge Enterprises provided meticulous customer and technical services throughout the deck building process. I conducted a best value proposal evaluation to select Aldridge over three other quotes from reputable contractors. Aldridge, represented by its owner, Fred, provided a comprehensive, fair, and fixed-price quote that exceeded my expectations in terms of value. Aldridge used much higher quality products than competitors quoted for a much more reasonable overall cost. Sure, I could have paid more for less, but why would anybody do that? My homework paid off and Aldridge further proved that I made a very wise decision selecting them as my contractor. Fred is the consummate professional and remained fair, focused, and flexible from the initial quote to completion. He quickly earned my trust and confidence and retained it throughout the process. The two on-site “craftsmen” who built the deck, Justin and Mike, were the most professional, technically competent, and thorough contractors I have ever hired. From digging the footing holes to final County inspection, Justin and Mike maintained an exceptionally professional decorum, kept me informed of progress, and represented the absolute best in technical and customer service. I could not be happier with the final product and the entire project was incredibly successful and pleasurable throughout. Amazing work Aldridge Enterprises! Thank you!"

Resurrection Builders has been in business since 1996. We are a smaller company of 4 employees. Because of our size, we can still provide that personal service customers are looking for. We have a small list of extremely qualified sub-contractors. We would utilize them in a project such as a home addition that required many different trades. However, we maintain resposibility and accountability with our home-owner throughout the job process. Most jobs are paid for with a deposit and a final payment when work is completed. We are not currently offering financing, however, we except all major credit cards. We will offer a $500 discount for any project of $5,000 or more to anyone who finds us on Angieslist.
"Even though we had some unavoidable funky scheduling challenges because of our current COVID-19 situation, which resulted in the project taking longer than expected, we are very happy with the process, the cost and the end result. We had Resurrection Builders fully renovate our bathroom, including change vanity to pedestal and move the plumbing; move electrical outlet and replace exhaust fan; replace the tub and change the full wall to a knee wall; install wall and floor tiles; repaint; and swap out all of the accessories (faucet, towel racks, etc.). They also fixed a long standing problem I had on my carport and front porch by adding a safety rail and replacing old trellises with new supports. Both look absolutely fabulous! Nelson did an awesome job every step of the way. Both Ryan and Nelson were great about communicating with us and each other. When we are ready to do our second bathroom, I definitely plan to reach out to Resurrection Builders."

In many cases, refinishing your furniture is more affordable than buying new. You can often save up to 50% compared to purchasing new pieces, while also reducing waste and preserving unique items.
When applying a darker stain, you don't need to completely remove the existing lighter stain. However, it's essential to sand the surface and apply a quality sealer before staining to ensure even coverage and adhesion.
Refurbishing involves gentle cleaning and minor touch-ups without altering the existing finish, preserving the original character. Refinishing involves removing the old finish and applying new stain or paint, resulting in a transformed appearance.
Furniture made from materials like plywood, particleboard, or MDF can be challenging to refinish due to their fragility. These materials require extra preparation and may not yield the desired results.
Yes, refinishing antique furniture can decrease its value because collectors often prefer the original finish. Before refinishing an antique, consider consulting a professional to explore restoration options that preserve its historical authenticity.
Water-damaged or swollen wood can be repaired if the damage is not extensive. You begin by assessing the severity of the issue before undertaking repair. Professional refinishing employs techniques such as sanding, filling, and targeted restoration to fix minor imperfections. Skilled intervention salvages the piece’s appearance while ensuring long-term durability and a refreshed finish.
