Get matched with top interior trim and decorative moldings repairers in Virginia Beach, VA

"We called-in AAC&C after water was seen leaking from the ceiling of the vanity alcove in our master bedroom. Their representative responded promptly, performed a thorough, informative, and sensitive assessment of the situation including an estimate of the probable cost of a detailed plan to address the problem. Work began shortly after we accepted the proposal. Their first act was to hang a transparent, zippered curtain across the space that separated the alcove from the rest of the bedroom in order to protect the sleeping area from the dust and debris that would result from cutting-out sections of dry wall and ceiling from the corner where the leak appeared in order to properly locate its source. This visual access to the interior structure provided evidence that a specific section of the roof was compromised. Repairs there began immediately and were soon completed. After the accessway made from the alcove was closed with new drywall, its ceiling and walls were repainted, as were the ceiling and walls of the bedroom proper in order to assure continuity of appearance throughout the conjoined areas. The men who performed and oversaw all aspects of the project were very competent, personable, willing to listen to our concerns, and determined to manage the process with our best interest at heart. At this writing, several weeks have elapsed since the job was finished and no leaking has recurred despite several strong rainstorms. Overall, I consider that this firm performed substantially above average."

"Old pocket doors repair. Excellent work on both doors, and worked very well around my renters' work schedule. Pretty much within the estimate except that the technician didn't have the correct equipment to shave down adoor to make room for carpet. Ergo, he had to make a separate appointment to shave down the door. That's the only reason my rating is a 4 versus 5. Overall, an excellent job."

"Jimmy was amazing. He had the best personality. Super friendly and extremely knowledgeable. He came and gave us the estimate and completed the job the next day. He does excellent work and I will definitely use him again."

"Mr. Mike and his crew were very knowledgeable and experienced with the level of craftsmanship they've performed in my bathroom. We were extremely pleased with the design suggestions and were able to quickly make an informed decision on our tile pattern. His knowledge base on materials also assisted us with making a quick determination as to which products to purchase. Additionally, he identified subpar work and faulty material used by our previous contractor (3-D Unlimited). He gave us the true level of craftmanship that a LICENSED Contractor should have and was missing from the other contractor! His crew always remained professional while instilling a certain sense of pride when performing their work and the results were remarkable. I truly will be hiring Big Mike's Construction again for additional work needed on my home."

"With the positive reviews, we hoped to receive an estimate for an upcoming bathroom remodeling project. Unfortunately, we never made it to even talking about the project as Geoff was unwilling to wear a mask - even when offered one - in our home which includes several high-risk individuals for illness."

"Good. They even cleaned the wood trim of paint that ton it previously.

"Ripwood Customs LLC (Brian & Josh) is exceptional. They brought back to life a 25-plus-year-old deck and porch. They demoed, cleaned, rebuilt the deck, rescreened the porch, and trimmed all to perfection. Their craftsmanship is superb with thoughtful additions such as safety rails along the deck steps. Their work ethic is very high and they have the right tools for the job at hand. I highly recommend this company to those who expect a quality project. You will not be dissapointed!"

"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.

"I was told the project would take 3-4 weeks and they completed everything in 3.5 weeks. I am pleased with the quality of the work and the response to any/all questions I had along the way."

"Jimmy Hines came ready to work! As soon as we settled on the scope and cost of the project, his team got to work repairing, cleaning and staining our 1700 sq ft, multi-level deck. Less than 3 days after starting, his team was done; the workmanship is good quality, and the deck looks great! We're already looking to hire Cameo for a couple of other projects."
