Hi [Member Name Removed], We are very sorry about this inconvenience and the confusion. 2 of our project managers were at the house at 2pm and stayed until 2:20pm and no one answered the door. Hopefully we were are the correct address !! That being said, we are extremely sorry and hope you will let us make it up to you with rescheduling another free estimate walk through. Please reach out to us if you’d like to reschedule and so we can apologize in person.

Needing to replace an old wooden patio with composite, we went back to the people who replaced our large deck several years ago, Avec Construction. The second experience was no different from the first. As far as customer service, prompt visits to review the project, several recommendations to improve the results, and many samples to choose the best product for the job, and a detailed spec drawing of the project. Once agreed to, work started in just a few weeks, and the team was outstanding. Several days were spent on the foundation and getting it perfect before completing the rest of the job. Exactly what you need for a patio or deck. There was communication continually throughout the project and we could not be more pleased dealing with the entire Avec team.

Our principal point of contact with Avec was the owner Kati Tolonen. My wife and I negotiated the contract with her including the scope and price. After providing her with the plat, she obtained the construction permit from Fairfax County and promptly began the work. Throughout the permitting and construction process, she kept us apprised of progress on a daily basis. When a deteriorated ring beam was discovered during the course of construction, she sent us photos, a recommended repair procedure and pricing. She also arranged the inspection of the foundation excavation and the final inspection by Fairfax County. Notwithstanding concerns about supply chain disruptions, the work was completed promptly and to our great satisfaction. Our role was to pay promptly which we did. Avec was also responsive to some minor punch list items which they corrected promptly.

We spoke with several contractors regarding our existing deck, which is over 30 years old and was not well built. We wanted something that would require no maintenance and last at least that long. We also wanted a walkway from the steps of the deck to a 16x16' patio. When we first met with Kati, we were struck with how much time she made for us. While she was there to review the existing condition and take notes to produce an estimate, she described different materials, design changes and quickly assessed our existing structure. We went through several possible designs and asked for a proposal with several possible options. We selected Avec's proposal as we felt it was the best value for the price. As work began, the workmen were prompt, reliable and courteous. They didn't leave any debris or remaining materials. The deck and new patio they built was really spectacular. Really beautiful design elements. Small details like post selection, a delicate lattice work under the deck and a lighted steps (on a timer) were really nice touches. The patio and 10' walkway was nicely installed and the materials were top-notch. I cannot say enough about this company--really a pleasure to work with and we are loving this new part of our house.

I would highly recommend AVEC Construction. The prices are very competitive and the company provides a personal touch. All projects are carefully supervised by the owners of the company and they kept in daily contact during the demolition and rebuild. The workers were highly trained, efficient and respectful. My deck and patio look amazing.

Avec Construction did a great job on our screened porch and back deck. The final result is beautiful, with excellent craftsmanship, and the process was smooth too. We knew we wanted to work with Avec after considering several contractors and meeting with Kati, who impressed us with her design help and direct and honest manner. We had to wait a little bit to get started due to their other projects, which was fine with us. Kati did a good job communicating, letting us know what was happening and was very responsive to our questions. PJ, Alexis and the whole crew worked hard and kept the construction site pretty tidy, considering our relatively small lot. Despite the uncertainties of pandemic supply chain, the project was started and substantially completed on time and on budget, so that we could enjoy our new space with friends and family six weeks after the start date. I would highly recommend Avec Construction for your porch/deck project

We are so very happy with our new deck done by Avec last month. We found out about Avec through the NextDoor app and engaged Kati (owner) for a proposal in spring 2021. Kati was forthright that it would be about a month before she could schedule coming to look at the current deck, 2-3 weeks before a proposal, and about 6 months before the work could be done. All of that was no problem with us and I'm so very glad that our timetables aligned. Kati really went to bat for us with a zoning/permit issue with Ffx County, got it resolved after many hours and communicated with us throughout. This was foreshadow of how well she communicated with us as we were on their schedule and as the work progressed. We have a great completely new deck (lumber with Trex deck boards and railing caps), built to code and solid foundation, great advice of design, and it was priced well- not much more than just "resurface" and "restore" bids from other contractors. One of the best contractor experiences I could have hoped for.

Our 15 year old deck needed a facelift. Working with AVEC was a wonderful, hassle-free experience. Our project manager, Kati, did a thorough assessment, answered all questions, and gave valuable advice on what materials would work best for our needs and budget. She was responsive to our questions and offered excellent suggestions. The workmen completed the remodel quickly and efficiently, and we are VERY pleased with the result!

Fantastic; we are absolutely thrilled w/results all around. Kati, PJ, and their whole team (master carpenters, masons) took the time, thought, discussion w/us, and patience to get it all done right -- just as we envisioned. Total pros. Everything turned out perfect, allowing for variable weather, design process hiccups, and supply chain quirks. Kati's architectural insights at the front and and artistic touches at the back end of the planning/construction processes were critical a) for articulating our vision of wood/stone in the natural setting of our verdant, wooded back yard, and getting the plans just right -- long before work started; and b) ensuring that every detail contributed to the ultimate effect. In the end, nothing was out of place. In between, throughout the construction phase, we had constant, direct, multi-platform communications and coordination day-to-day. Kati, PJ and the job chiefs were absolute maestros: always on time, constantly checking and re-checking the details, ensuring top quality, and adherence to plans -- w/flexibility to make changes, in consultation, as new solutions emerged along the way. The same meticulous approach to the design process was applied during all construction phases. Our vision was always in the forefront; they worked w/us to achieve it in space. As a result, everything turned out as we had planned, but better than we had imagined. Thrilled, just thrilled w/the results. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

All went great, they are very good at listening to my questions and concerns during the project -- sometimes when you see something being built you need to make tiny changes, right? Kati was very helpful and the guys building the deck were hard working and did a great job. Pricing seemed a bit high (I know lumber costs are up these days), but Kati did not charge extra for minor changes during the project. She even showed up after completion with some paint for the raw edge of the trex on our handrail - she didn't like the look of the raw edge -- I never noticed it. We would definitely use them again.

AVEC Construction was a joy to work with from the very beginning. During a very trying period owing to the epidemic, Kati T. and her team helped us design a new ground-level patio/deck that was what we wanted and within our budget. When construction could at last begin, the construction team worked quickly and well, and we are THRILLED with the results! Highly recommend AVEC Construction, inc.

We hired Kati to build our deck last year but due to Covid it was delayed until 2021. In March they started and we were very impressed with the expertise of the crew and Kati was great to communicate with when needed. The end result is a beautiful deck that we now get to enjoy and entertain family and friends on. We hope to hire Avec construction to build a fence for us. We highly recommend them.

Avec construction is fantastic. Kati provided excellent service and design help and her crew is composed of true craftsmen. Her mason exceeded expectations. They kept us informed as the work progressed and they were a pleasure to work with. It was the least stressful construction project I have ever had done, especially for being a major project. I would hire them again and am planning on it.

Generally went well. It took a long time to get the permits, but I don't think that was the contractor's fault. Once we finally got started, the work was completed quickly. There was one problem in that it didn't pass inspection at first, and they needed to add more supports (the additional supports really do look like an afterthought, but they're not too noticeable) - I do think they should have understood the requirement when they laid out the deck. Also, they don't do the sealing, so I had to find someone else to do that (but I did, and that was fine). They did have someone to repair and finish the stone patio under the deck, and he did a fantastic job! The county wouldn't let me replace the steps, so I had the patio expanded to cover that area, and it blended perfectly with the older part of the patio. So overall, I am very happy with the results, and would use them again.

Kati, her husband, and their crew did an outstanding job. They removed a worn, wooden deck and walkway and installed a Trex deck, aluminum railing with low-profile steel cables, and acrylic lattice. Kati was meticulous from the beginning: drawing out the plan, deciding on materials, arranging inspections, and adhering to the timetable. The deck railing was delayed because of COVID but everything else went like clockwork and the job was completed by early Spring. The crew kept a very clean job site and took the time to answer our questions. We are happy to recommend Avec and would hire them again.

Simply stated, we love our new porch. The construction is high quality and the design is simple yet solid. Kati and her team were very thorough in their communications and explanations of our options, they were prompt and fast with the build, and were flexible with their schedule. The AVEC team are pros and we felt very comfortable and informed throughout the process. Highly recommend. You won’t be disappointed.

We are very happy about our new deck! Avec worked efficiently--demolishing, constructing & adding lighting to our new deck all in less than 7 days. Their team worked together, was respectful of our outdoor space and hauled away all old or unused materials quickly. Their lumber deliveries & trucks also provided fun entertainment for our two year old. We love the quality of the Treks and look forward to years of enjoyment with minimal maintenance. Based on other estimates we received this summer, Avec's price for such a nice product was the best. We also appreciated Kati's expertise in guiding us to a color that would compliment our brick instead of a color choice that would make it look all the same. We appreciated her explaining that the more durable of the choices might be better for us given her knowledge of how easily the other choice will scratch--a potential with little kids and their many toys. :) All consults, check-ins and payment were conducted safely by masked/social distanced interactions and with kindness! Kati and her husband were always available--be it an on site check in, via email or phone. They were very responsive to our questions both before and during the construction and checked in with us as we awaited the initial county permit and final inspections. We had a very positive interaction with Avec and know you will too.
