"I used Belletto before to pour a concert slab to park off street at my house.  That experience was great.  
I called Dan about building a shed and he came out in a day or two to discuss plans and specifications.  In June 2015 I provided and earnest check for 1/2 of the project cost.  I was told at that time that the shed would be completed by the end of July 2015.  By the end of August, only the concrete pad had been poured.  Work on the main shed did not start until October.  Weather, broken trucks, etc were all used as reasons for delays.  This is contractor speak for "the dog ate my homework".  I believe if the contractor can't do the work or can't do it in the time specified then that should be stated up front.  The "dog ate my homework" gets very old and aggravating after a few months especially when they are comfortably sitting on 4500.00 of my money.  
During the project one of the guys on the site dented a downspout right near the shed.  I brought the issue up over the phone with Dan and he said he would have it fixed.  It is now January and the dent is still there.  
Quality of the shed is great.  I couldn't be happier about that.  
Bottom line is if you expect something by the time stated by Belletto, guess again.  They want their earnest money early, way early before THEY plan on starting your project.  I was also billed in full two days prior to project completion date, due that day.  
If you want quality work, have money to give to them for a while before they start, and don't mind your calls not returned after you give them the final check, Belletto is for you.

Get It Done Contracting greatly exceeded my expectations and the husband and wife co-owner team of Dave and Melisa treated our kitchen as if it was their own.

We sought estimates from four contractors in the fall of 2014 and selected Get It Done Contracting in January 2015 because they were less expensive than the others.  We also felt comfortable working with Melisa.  Melisa manages the initial estimate process and does the paperwork/ordering behind the scenes and Dave performs demo and manages the project on site.  If you appreciate being treated like you are the only game in town, go with Get it Done. 

For background, we spent about $35,000 on the project, which lasted about a month and included demo, painting, ceiling fan, pendant light, can lights, under cabinet lighting, painting (walls/ceiling), cabinets and cabinet/drawer pulls, granite countertops and a sink, 700 sq ft of tile (kitchen, laundry room, hall, foyer, bathroom), tile backsplash, toilet and stainless steel appliances.  We let Dave and the gang rip out and install everything.  The way Get it Done operates is that the customer purchases appliances, pulls, faucet, ceiling fan, tile back splash/grout and floor tile/grout separately.  The reason for this is so you have control of the selection.  The estimate takes this into account, so you aren't paying more than some of the competitors who include everything or nearly everything in their estimate.  We had to go to the granite store and pick out the slabs we wanted, select the edge style for the granite, and pick out the sink style.  We also went to the cabinet store to pick out the cabinet style and color. 

What I like about Get it Done is that they don't subcontract to a bunch of random people.  They have a tile guy, Keith, who is fantastic and does all the tiling himself.  He spent about two and a half weeks in our house.  By the time he left it felt like he was one of the family.  I learned a lot about tiling by watching and talking with him.  They have a painter, Jesse, and an electrician and plumber (can't recall their names).  They were all knowledgeable, polite, courteous, and respected our home.  We saw Dave and Keith more than the rest.  The others were in and out pretty quickly.  If I ever had an issue, Dave quickly rectified it.  He always went above and beyond to ensure I was satisfied.

If I had any advice, give yourself about 4-5 months of slop from the time you start researching contractors until the project is complete.  We spent a couple of months selecting Get it Done, then it took about a month or so to get the cabinets in.  While the cabinets are being ordered, you can purchase the appliances, tile and all the other things.  The timing worked out well.  Stay patient because it is a long and nerve-racking process, but it is well worth it when complete.

Ultimately, we were so happy with Get it Done that we are planning to have them give us an estimate on our master bathroom remodel.  I would never recommend skipping the estimate process and throwing all your eggs in one contractor's basket, but you can't go wrong if you get just one estimate from Get it Done and then pull the trigger.


Note:  I'm attaching before and after photos.  We have since purchased a matching kitchen table and window treatments.  Those were not in the "After" photos when I took them.

FAQs for shed, barn or playhouse building service projects in Virginia Beach, 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.
