Norfolk Porch Builders

Provided outstanding customer service, and ensured we were completely satisfied with the design before proceeding. New porch included vinyl wrapping and soffits, and matched the design of the house perfectly. There was a bit of a lag before he could start construction because his drawing and design person was out of the office.

After receiving several estimates from contractors to replace my screened porch ceiling (I had already removed the deteriorated plywood ceiling that was installed by the builder in 1992), I was put off by the estimates, ranging up to $5,000. At this point I contacted WT Anderson, who had replaced my roof a few years ago, hoping that they might do this type of work. Tom Anderson came by to see, assured me they do this type of work as it is really installing soffitt material, showed me some samples and subsequently provided an estimate of about $1,400. I selected a white vinyl beadboard. The ceiling also contained two skylights which needed to be trimmed out. The roofing and gutter work previously done by WT Anderson was superb and I had them go ahead and do the job. I subsequently asked them to replace the trim wrap around my garage doors (2) which brought the total cost to $1,740. I thought this was very fair. The two workers from WT Anderson showed up as scheduled, completed the job in one day and the installation went smoothly and looks great. With porch ceiling, they installed strapping to existing framing, plywood to box in the "tunnels" to the skylights, installed vinyl covered metal wrap around the top of the porch walls and then the vinyl beadboard. With the garage doors they removed the existing wrap, replaced two 2x6 framing pieces and then installed new brickmold where needed and new trim wrap around both doors. They were careful to seal all around to keep water out. The finished product looks great. The workers were polite, respectful of the our property and thoroughly cleaned up after completion of the work. Workers is not right word to describe Nestor and his helper, there were skilled craftsmen. WT Anderson will be my "go to" contractor for any outside work in the future.

THI was very professional and a pleasure to work with. The Project Manager was always available when needed, very responsive, and personally ensured the quality of all work performed. I did have a slight issue with the initial installation of the new porch railings (THI subcontracted Atlantic Railing for this work). However, THI was very sensitive to my concerns and quickly resolved the issue with Atlantic Railing. The railings were taken down and new railings were fabricated/ installed. Very satisfied. (I attached before and after photos to this review.)

We are very pleased with the extremely high quality of the workmanship. The trim wrap is not your typical flat trim, but instead has multiple angles (hard to explain) which looks so much more polished than what I typically see on other homes. Our new porch is amazing and only took a day to install. The owner, Robert, was very responsive and often stopped by to check on the work. Other estimates were slightly lower, but I think the quality of work was worth the extra money. We would highly recommend Mid-Atlantic Exteriors!

The team did an outstanding job on cleaning our external house. They were able to get off stains that had accumulated and that our kids had done to the siding. We are always pleased with the results this company has done to keep our external house clean while protecting the paint and the siding from bleaching, running or smearing. In addition, this is a professional company that values customers and has an honest work ethic. We had a porch light significantly damaged by water and John personally came out to remove the light, identify the problem and work with the light company to solve the problem. In the end, he bought us a new porch light and installed it himself. We are grateful for his quick response, professionalism and customer service. We HIGHLY recommend John and his company. We will continue to use this company as they clean our external walls and go above and to protect our investment by doing their work outstandingly well and with the utmost integrity.

My front door was fully exposed to the elements (no porch) causing extensive damage to the wood trim and frame over the years. I submitted a request to my homeowners association to build a small 5'x8' porch over the front door. The homeowners association approved the request, requring the work to be done in 90 days. I used Angieslist to seek out contractors. I contacted three contractors; two replied. Only Apprentice to Master came out to the house providing a parts and labor estimate, which I accepted. The work was scheduled to begin in late September. However, rain delays plagued progress. After removing the rotten wood around the door, work was delayed due to scheduling conflicts. The exposed door frame was covered in plastic to prevent new water damage from more rain. After that, there were several start and stops on the project as the contractor worked on other jobs that were backed up from two weeks of rain we had in late September. The contractor recommended the new porch and door frame material be PVC to avoid future water damage. --- Great recommendation, no painting ever :) The work was completed 3 weeks before the date required by the homeowners association. The porch and repairs exceeded my expectations. The price is more than fair. The quality of work was Ausgezeichnet! The porch is exactly what we wanted, just in time for Halloween! Having worked construction in the past I was appreciative of the attention to detail given to the complexity of this "small" porch.

Showed up late but did clean job. Took longer than anticipated but we were pleased with the work

I was out of town when the work was done, but my husband felt that they were on time and worked hard until the porch was completed. I was very pleased with the work when I returned home. The porch was done with treated wood and had to wait a couple of weeks to be painted. I contacted the office and asked for a bid for the porch to be painted. I am collecting a few more bids, but will probably go with this company to finish with the paint.

Joe Henry was recommended to me by a neighborhood friend. Joe lives in our neighborhood and I felt that was a great plus. He responded in a timely manner to my request for a meeting to discuss building our new deck and porch. He listened to what I wanted and did not try to sway me away from my original thoughts about the new construction. Within two days he was back with the tenative plans professionally drawn up and with the estimate. I have to be completely honest here..I was so impressed with the way that Joe Henry presented himself that I did not even get another answer. I found him, and over time have continued to find him, dedicated to his craft and honest and concerned about his clients. Please consider using Joe's company for any re-modeling or new construction plans you have. You will NOT be disappointed!

I live in a historic district. Last summer, began searching for a contractor to replace my front porch. Multiple companies gave me estimates. Months later, I was finally ready to have the work done. It was a struggle finding someone who would honor their estimates. That’s when Doug stepped up. Originally, I thought he wanted to do more than what was necessary by replacing the undercarriage of the porch. But his assessment was 100%spot on! Doug fully honored his estimate. The Pratte Construction crew did a thorough job! In light of the current cost lumber, the estimate was a bargain and they completed the job on time. I’m now discussing to have them build new railings for the porch. Don’t think you can go wrong with them.
