AW Viohl Contracting LLC

Very well! Everyone performed the work very well and cleaned up after. They added a sunroom for me last year and I had such a good experience with them that when we needed some kitchen renovations done, I called Andrew again.

Great work crew. Very nice deck. Started a couple weeks later than expected. Half the price of 2 other estimates.

A.W. Viohl Contracting recently completed my bathroom remodel and it looks amazing! The project was completed on time within budget and there were no surprises. All the workers are skillful and were courteous and respectful of my home and family. The work completed very high quality and I am very happy with the services they provided. I was referred to A.W. Viohl Contracting through a work colleague and plan to have them back ASAP to remodel my master bathroom.

Andrew and his crew did an excellent job. The work was quality at a very reasonable price. I’m very pleased with the final product and definitely recommend them.

I found the owner of the company to be very honest. When I met with Mr. Viohl abut what I wanted done. I told him, he gave me the cost and it ended up being pretty much at that cost. No hidden charges. They were responsible, trustworthy, and on-time every single day. They cleaned up everything, I never had to clean up after myself. all the workers were experts in the field. Highly recommend them. Easy to talk to. They answered all of my questions. The owner, Andrew Viohl, he's the most attentive person. He really wants his customer to be happy with the end result. You get top-notch response. They are prompt and will give you what you pay for. The follow-up is great, if there's something you need to discuss after the job they will address it for you.

It was done in the promised amount of time of 4 weeks. There was a bit of a delay with the township. The workers did outstanding work, the decks they have done in my neighborhood are by far the most beautiful. Everything I requested at the beginning was honored and they came up with a few additional great ideas. I requested that the price not change and it did not. My son was having a deck done at the same time and took pictures so his contractor would model his after my deck. I am very pleased with the outcome and would use them again.

Viohl contracting did a great job with my project. The new sunroom and patio is beautiful. The team was always on time, professional & courteous. They kept me informed of the progress of their work & provided guidance as needed. Would definitely use them for additional projects!

The job was done and finished to our satisfaction.

Very good, a little off on the initial time estimate, but happy with the results.

I was extremely pleased with the quality, professionalism and thoroughness of the entire Viohl organization. The president/owner, Andrew Viohl, took a personal interest in the progress of my project and in the overall quality of the resulting porch. Family members and associate team members employed by the Company were especially courteous, considerate and thorough in making sure that all that was promised came to fruition. I highly recommend working with this contractor - they are a high quality Company. You will never regret working with them.

They did an excellent job, timely construction and site clean up. Made suggestions to improve aesthetics of the deck. left the job site spotless. I have over 40 years experience in commercial and residential construction I plan to use them again on future projects.

Very well. I am quite pleased with the quality of work performed. The workers were friendly and dealt very well with my dog while I was working and they were at the house. Very receptive to questions and inputs about the work being done. I have enjoyed dealing with this company and their workers.

We are so pleased with working with A.W. Viohl Contracting for our construction of our new business. From day 1 they helped us formulate a plan as to what would work best for construction, and handled every detail with expert knowledge. They are quick to answer any questions we may have had, and gave us their professional opinion to ensure the best quality of our design and build out. Their craftmanship and work ethic are excellent. We are so excited for how our business turned out. If you want high quality work and superb professional service, I would highly recommend A. W. Viohl Contracting!

My experience with A.W. Contracting on 05/2016 was far beyond what I expected.Andrew has a great crew and kept me informed what they were doing at all times. They made sure I was happy with what they were doing and went out of their way on some changes I wanted.Great company to deal with. Andrew makes sure his customers are always satisfied. Right now they are installing front & back doors & storm doors and they look great. 10/17/2016 . I will be calling on them again to do other jobs in the future.

A.W. Viohl won the contract, and immediately we realized that our decision was correct. This project not only needed an outstanding contractor – that outfit had to have the access and relationships with an architect, master plumber and master electrician that could pull this job off. It took a few weeks for us to get the necessary building permits, but the architect was relentless – meeting with us on the weekends when necessary and getting all of the specifications the county needed for our plan to be approved. Demolition proceeded with minimal disruption, and concerns, such as dust, were brought up – they were resolved immediately. I started an album set on Facebook for my faith community – documenting each weekly success. At the point that flooring was needed, we further enjoyed access to an outstanding supply shop, and the church’s “aesthetics team” reported the outstanding service experience they enjoyed along with extremely competitive prices for the materials we needed – so much so that the contracted expanded to install new flooring all the way to the main entrance of the church! The A.W. Viohl team includes a master tile craftsman – Brent made the tile floors in the new bathrooms and new kitchen look spectacular! New bathrooms, a performance kitchen with excellent electrical and plumbing support, and adequate ventilation – elements of our new “Mission Hall.” This multipurpose room can comfortably accommodate an aerobics class; it masterfully acts as a polling station for New Castle County; and it can host a formal party or reception for 75 or more guests. Our church now has the facility it needed to carry out some of its mission projects with a hall that we can be proud of, that met our needs, and stayed within our budget due to the outstanding work performed by A.W. Viohl Contracting!!

Good: Deck built with the materials we asked for. Contractor responded to all our issues. Deck built well/sturdy and low maintenance as I asked. Contractor filed for variance and permits and didn't leave me with an unfinished product. The project cost did not balloon wildly from expectation. Bad: - Poor communication and planning. I signed contract in December with them in hopes I'd have a porch for summer 2016. They didn't even file for building permit until 2/24/2016. (2 months after signing). It was rejected because they tried to cut corners by not filing for a variance (which I already told them we would have to do). They didn't immediately figure out and file for the variance...another delay. Didn't have the variance hearing until 4/28/2016 and building permit finally granted on 6/13/2016. They blame the delay on the county. NO! If they had filed in January for the variance they would have had the hearing scheduled in Feb, variance approved in March, and could begin building in April at the worst. Would have finished for summer. They don't understand their inability to plan and accommodate schedules they can't control, but have to work within is THEIR fault and THEIR ability to control. I clearly stated my desire for them to break ground in Spring 2016...they didn't until Summer 2016. - Missed appointments during consult phase. Scheduled dates for their sales guy (Matt) to arrive and, on several occasions I called him "where are you?" "Oh sorry, I can't make it". - Contract did not have dates of start nor end. Project started later than I wanted and seemed to be taking longer than I anticipated it should due to poor planning. - Didn't plan for photographic evidence for variance hearing in order to get permit. Luckily, I was prepared knowing at that point they don't plan for eventualities. - No architectural drafts so I could sign off on the final look of the porch. Final porch NOT built to my design aesthetic, but to theirs. - We produced our own images (overlaying a real photo with our drawings because my partner is a graphic artist) for them to build to/estimate project off of. When his subcontractor carpenter came to build the porch, his plans didn't match our expectations. In fact, they didn't even match the placement of our door and window. They had sent these drawings to the county for the permit and I never saw them so I couldn't correct them. Subcontractor claims he never saw any of the photos I had produced and sent via email/text to Matt (their sales guy that produced the contract for me to sign). - Opened my roof and didn't put tarps over it. That night it rained, leaving my attic exposed to rain. - Did not clean up my garage after done. Left remaining construction materials in garage that I had to call the owner to come retrieve (including his own a-frame ladder). - Did not clean up yard (nails, screws, wood chunks, shingle debris, vinyl and flashing cuts. - Several items were built and needed to be re-done because they didn't follow their own contract: Ex1. I wanted 5' wide stairs. was on contract in black and white. we talked about it MANY times. They built 3' wide stairs. Ex2: They put up vinyl railings and didn't screw the railings into a wood post inside the vinyl. Yes, I caught it and had to ask him to build it correctly (which he did, but what other corners did he cut that I did not catch? Was he aware of it, or just trusting his subs to do a job right? no process for vetting his own crews work quality). Ex3: Our drawing had 2 columns and I often said the size of the columns must be appropriately thick with respect to the size of the gable above it (balanced). They built porch with 2, 4x4 columns for a gable that is 14' wide. I said no. Columns must be bigger. they changed it and then wanted me to pay for extra material. NO. Not my mistake. - Lights were installed. Thank god I came home when I did. Electrician was going to run conduit pipe on the outside front of my siding instead of through the basement as I hoped. reason: I didn't know electrician was coming that day and didn't have house unlocked. No freaking way you are putting conduit pipe on the most visible portion of my new curb-appeal porch!! You kidding me? - Lights. Subcontractor electrician recommended I put in 4 can lights (I orignally thought 2 would be more than enough.) I trusted his judgement. Shouldn't have. Thankfully I had asked for porch lights to be on a dimmer. Lights are SO bright and flood the entire porch with light (no 'wall highlights') that there is no reason to turn lights on at anything other than their dimmest setting. - Gutters. water is leaking from the gutters/behind the gutters. The left gutter's water was following the bead-board channel along the house wall and at the first gap (above my front door), was dripping down. So the place that should be the most sheltered from rainwater was in fact collecting rain. Nice. Because they never water tested their gutter installation. - Day of pouring the footers, they asked my NEIGHBOR if they could use his garden hose to mix up the concrete. Why are you involving my neighbor in my project? That put my neighbor in an awkward position and is completely unprofessional. I have a garden hose and exterior water...why use his?? Summary: Because of poor communication between their workers and between their workkers and me, and because they don't know how to run their business smoothly, I wouldn't hire again. Andrew responded to all complaints. But the complaints were daily and often-times, head-slapping. If I was paying half this cost, maybe I'd be ok. But I feel I was charged full price for services where only half the quality and expectations were being met. Meanwhile, I'm playing role of project foreman, project manager, architect/designer, and quality control.

They gave us a quote, and working with Andrew on any issues that we needed added to the contract was never an issue. He squeezed us into the calendar due to the sale of our home. The worker Brent came on a daily basis, early, he set his items up, made sure to keep the gate closed at all times for our dog, and every day he cleaned up after himself. The work itself and craftsmanship was done to expectations, Brent was extremely meticulous on the work that he was doing, and was accepting of input of any changes that we may have had.  I couldn't have asked for a better experience in preparing our house for sale. We will definitely use this company for our next home that we purchase.

AW Viohl was very professional from start to finish. He came out to give me an estimate and the job was completed to my satisfaction within a week. The work was done well and work area was cleaned up. I will be recommending him to my friends and family.

Picked up doors promptly from supplier. Installation of both doors were completed in one day. Excellent job of cleaning up the work site before leaving. Pet friendly, courteous and professional.

They were great from start to finish; helped out with everything form getting plans drawn to permits and going over in detail steps that would be taken with the project. Great with my family and dog who were around  the house while the work was being done. They were very communicative during the process. and check up when finished to make sure we were happy with everything that was done.
We were happy to work with them and would love to have them do some other things that need to be replace and worked on.
