"It succeed well above my expectations. Cavalier helped me with my water damaged home from step one. They were professional and respectful since day one. They also set a deadline for the work and even succeed above for that too. If you have problem in your home I definitely recommend Cavalier to perform the work."

"Professional personnel to the max. The water mitigation team was exceptional in their response and duties. They were at my home one hour from the time I talked with Nicole about my situation. Dehumidifiers going 24/7 for 96 hours and then fans for five days. And they kept the house amazingly clean during its operations. I am totally impressed by the teams' skills and courtesies. Then Jacob, the assessor of how much the costs would come to for insurance purposes has so much experience in the industry from actually laying tile down early in his career, to knowing the inside and outs of the industry. I totally trust his judgement and dedication to ensuring the client doesn't get shortchanged by the insurance company. He's a fighter and unbelievable pro at his work. Emergency Restoration Services is by far the best professionals I've had the distinct pleasure of being its client. I highly recommend for any future misfortunes one might encounter. Thank you ERS LLC for your superb effort and results. Respectfully, Kenneth Martin"

"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."

"It went really well. Mike came to the house to take a shutter to match the color. The color matched perfectly what we wanted. He removed all the dry rot including areas we didn't know were rotted, removed a wasps nest we didn't know was there, replaced all the wood, and painted everything to match the existing trim. I liked working with Mike. He always kept me informed on what was going on. I will definitely use him in the future!"

"Great!  No problems, no mosquitos.

"My insurance company recommended Servpro, and they were excellent. They were timely in their response, worked with my schedule, were very thorough and professional, and worked diligently and efficiently while on site. I appreciated their heads-up phone calls when they were on their way to my home and their clear explanation of exactly what they were going to do. They checked on their drying equipment daily until it was complete. They cleaned up after themselves, leaving me in a position where my contractor could now begin the repairs. This is the second time I've used Servpro, and I have no reservations about recommending them."

"Overall, Get it done contracting did a terrific job on the remodel.
Background:The remodel was an almost complete gut of the master bathroom, to include removal of a wall, installation of a custom shower, two sink counter-top and in-floor heating.  The bathroom originally had a bathtub and two sink counter, all original to the house and cheap quality.  In addition, I required some drywall repair in the dining room ceiling to fix damage from a water leak.
I brought in several contractors (4 in total) to get estimates on the job.  All of the estimates were very similar in terms of cost estimate.  The decision to go with Get it Done. in addition to the positive reviews on this site, was based on the fact that the work estimate included getting all the proper permits and inspections required for the job.  Although the plumbing and electrical rework was not major, I knew it would require proper permits.  Surprisingly, other companies would not do that.
The work done on the bathroom was excellent.  Dave and his subcontractors did outstanding work and were very responsive to my needs.  I had family in town in the middle of the renovation, and they stopped work while they were here, and restarted after they left.  The few minor issues which came up, which is inevitable in a renovation, were quickly taken care of.  The quality of the work was outstanding.  In particular, the tile guy did an amazing job.  He was incredibly meticulous and had an amazing attention to the smallest detail.  Also, the minor drywall repair to the ceiling in the dining room showed the same meticulousness. I cannot tell where the damage was, even though it is a textured ceiling.
The work done on the bathroom included removing the drywall, putting up DUROCK, using redgard waterproofing, installing a privacy wall and bench seat in the shower, putting DUROCK subfloor and self-leveling cement on the floor, in addition to the in-floor heating.  They did drywall repair on the walls, as necessary, installed cabinets and granite countertops on the sink and installed a custom mirror.
In addition to the above, The owner's wife, Melissa, provides consulting services for picking out the tiles, accessories, paint colors, etc, if you require that.  I did, and she provided excellent advice and guidance on the choices for those items in the bathroom.
Overall, the renovation went very well, and I am extremely happy with the results.  The bathroom looks beautiful and more importantly, I am confident the work behind the exterior was very well done.

"Tommy and his assistant, Louie, completely repainted our newly purchased condo. Everything was painted, top to bottom. HE IS FANTASTIC IN EVERY WAY - AAAA++++

My experience in evaluating contractors: My experience in remodels working with painters is very extensive: I?ve completely remodeled and had painted six major homes over the years. Thus, I have dealt with numerous paint contractors. Tommy is one of the best I?ve ever worked with.

Scope of Project: Notably, I hired every contractor remotely from San Francisco prior to moving out to Norfolk. Using Angie?s List and Better Business Bureau, I searched and evaluated numerous painters. I initially thought (from long distance) that only the walls needed re-painting. Upon inspection, Tommy noted everything needed to be repainted, to insure a consistent look and classy look. He emailed pictures evidencing the work that needed to be done. I agreed completely (other paint contractors suggested much of the same but no pictures sent). So, ceilings, all walls, closets, doors, windows, trim, top to bottom. Am I glad I followed his advice.

Bid Preparation: Getting estimates from afar, I had prepared an extremely detailed, line by line item list of every step that needed to be done. My real estate agent had keys to our condo and coordinated pick-up and return for inspection and estimates by contractors. All significant paint selections (quality) had been specified in the proposal at Virginia Paint (Benjamin Moore) I sent out. Each paint contractor got an identical email from me with no changes, thus ensuring comparability. I was searching for the best workers, at reasonable costs, and a good personality fit - most important. Numerous emails and phone call exchanges with these folks over two weeks it took to find the right painter. I chose Tommy as we determined approximate time frame he and his crew could begin. I had contract sent / signed, and initial deposits made for the work.

Professionalism: From long distance emails and over the phone, Tommy and I hit it off right off the bat. He is very, very professional, super experienced in all facets of painting, especially on color selection and co-ordination, helpful with suggestions and ideas. He is very reasonably priced (on the lower end but important, not the low end - you get what you pay for). Most important, he is a gentleman, courteous, very likeable, cheerful, extremely honest, a family man, very responsive(always a phone call response back to me generally within an hour and always within the day). I knew within the first day or two I had the right man for the job and needn?t worry about a thing. Not only was he an expert, he has an excellent way of dealing with other sub-contractors working their jobs (during the time frame he was there), who genuinely liked working with him, coordinating with them, their schedules, to keep things flowing smoothly.

Color Expert: Tommy is an expert.  Once getting to Ghent, meeting him in person for the first time at the condo, we hit it off immediately as we traveled together to the paint store. I had ideas about color, but it took me over a week to make my selections. There are literally thousands of colors, with options for various rooms, ceilings, trim, high lights, accent walls etc. He has a real eye for color selection and co-ordination, and was extremely helpful to me in the process. An expert like him for advice and direction was critical to success.

Work ethic. He is extremely detail conscious, everything needed to be perfect by him, always opted for the best look, never cut corners, even if cut into his profits - he is a perfectionist. Always cleaning up everything at the end of the day, removing tools. Remodels, especially old homes, always run into problems not anticipated and not part of the original contract. Important: home owners always come up with new ideas, the job expands, change orders, etc. Therefore, I knew from my extensive remodeling experience I could run over budget. I can assure you that Tommy was always more than fair with me, not a bean counter, he included gratuitously many little things we would try out not in the budget or he did so at minor cost addition. It became a bit of a partnership.

Job Done: The condo is absolutely beautiful, on time done to perfection at a reasonable cost, with a wonderful working relationship, hassle free co-operative manner thanks to Tommy and his assistant Lewis.

Summary: Having done five extensive home re-models, working with all the trades and at least 100 contractors, I CAN TRUTHFULLY SAY HE IS THE BEST. His work is top notch. HIS PRICES ARE VERY REASONABLE. His work ethic superb and honesty is impeccable. Most important, he loves his work.
