Get matched with top marble and granite pros in Fort Belvoir, VA

"If you want to work with someone condescending, rude, confrontational, unprofessional, and whose contractors workmanship is probably the worst I have ever encountered in my 30 years of working with contractors, THIS IS YOUR GUY. I can ramble on about the false promises, the horrible workmanship, the constant delays, the lack of communication, the rude and confrontational text messages. I guarantee Mr. Shank will in fact respond to this review and try to flip the script and blame it all on me somehow. He talks very poorly about all his customers well at least the ones he doesn't like. Not sure what that is based on although I do have some idea what is based on. But he never made anything explicit, so I can't make accusations that he is a racist. So I am definitely not saying he is a racist because he didn't do anything racist. But if he was a racist it would explain why he didn't give two poops about doing good work for multiple projects I provided him. I also have multiple properties and was hoping to make Mr. Shank a lifelong contractor. In a nutshell, he has done 2 projects for me at 2 properties. One was installing a threshold for a glass enclosed shower stall. His crappy sub contractor (they are not employees) despite him saying they are employees, did not install any grouting on the threshold. Fast forward 1 year, and mold is popping up all around the threshold. Rather than dealing with this individual, I hired another contractor to fix up his mess. Second job, and my second mistake, I hired him for a full scale home renovation for around 50K. That project was an absolute disaster. He took 3 months to do what he promised to me verbally would be a 3 week job. I don't really want to spend 1 hour writing down all the crap he did wrong. I'll try so sum up the highlights. Ripped out old flooring, promised to make new flooring level after installing new concrete by using lasers. New flooring is totally not level and as bumpy as walking on your local trail. The shoe moldings around the flooring look like a child installed them. I had to argue with him to get him to regrout the bathroom which was in his contract in the first place. I can go on and on. For sure if you are someone that Mr. Shank likes and match his criteria of what he likes, whatever that could be I have no idea definitely not race related. He may do a great job for you and that may explain the great reviews. I myself had a horrible experience with Mr. Shank and his group of sub contractors who just plain do terrible work. Ignore my review or take it seriously, frankly this guy will keep getting business cause he's a great salesman. Even has a LinkedIN profile to show how professional he is. Epic scammer and fraud. Stay away."

"Note that I selected and purchased the light, mirror, medicine cabinet, and accessories (towel bars, grab bars, et al.), which added $3,500 to my cost. Most of that amount was for brass accessories ordered from a boutique manufacturer. I have no doubt the amount would have been substantially less had I gone with mainstream, off-the-shelf items. My initial meeting with Mike Brennan, CDT’s CEO, was characterized by an open and very comfortable discussion of my goals, the selection process, where I would take responsibility for item procurements, and the demolition and construction processes. I was struck by the impression that CDT would be very easy to work with, and I wasn’t disappointed. (The other provider I spoke with never called me back.) A major benefit of working with Mike is that he guides customers through visits with four vendors to select tiles, components (e.g., tub and sink), the vanity, and the countertop. That “excursion” took about four hours. (In contrast, I perseverated for weeks over the items I was responsible for.) The renovation took about two weeks. As disruptive as renovations might be, this one proceeded pretty much as planned, and the inevitable hiccups that occurred were easily taken in stride. During this time, two of CDT’s crews worked on different aspects of the project. These people were knowledgeable, experienced, proficient, courteous, and respectful. The resulting renovation is beautiful! I highly recommend CDT for renovation projects, and I plan to use them in the next couple of years for kitchen upgrades that I’m starting to plan for."

"Bull Run Kitchen and Bath completed two bathroom renovations in my home. They did an excellent job. The designer, Salih Coskun, went above and beyond from start to finish. In many ways he served as the project manager, never overlooking any detail. I am very grateful for his dedication and creative eye. The workers were wonderful. They did exacting work and the results were fabulous. The weakest link was the actual project manager, Murat, who did not do a good job of planning when to order supplies or scheduling which resulted in the project taking much too long to finish. The results, however, compensated for the process. Everyone who has seen the bathrooms has raved about them. They are truly gorgeous."

"In the middle of some kitchen renovations, we learned that a sink that we had bought to replace the existing sink was too large for the hole in our granite countertop. This was only after the old sink had been pulled out so we were without a functioning kitchen sink. I called Blue Isle on the afternoon of August 5 and spoke to co-owner Tamara who promised to speak with Ike, the other co-owner, to see if they would be able to cut the countertop in place so that the new sink could be installed. Tamara called me back in less than 15 minutes and confirmed that they could do the job the following afternoon. On August 6, Ike came on time with a two man crew and went to work. He measured the new sink and the space where it would have to go and commenced cutting. Within an hour, the job was done, the sink was fitting properly into the countertop, and Ike and his crew had cleaned up the dust created by the cutting operation. Blue Isle's responsiveness and quality of work were both excellent. We would use them for other stone and tile work without question."

"Wisa worked with us on a full bathroom renovation and they did a wonderful job! Communication, craftsmanship, and attention to detail were all outstanding. We are so pleased with the result that we plan to continue working with them on further home renovation projects."

"We were so impressed with the kitchen counters and island from ten years ago that we went out of our way to have Dominion Granite install the marble counter tops for our bathroom renovation. Christian and his team were extremely professional and informative the first time, and were just as professional and informative during the most recent installation. They have vast and amazing options on site to select your granite or marble. Meticulous installation with perfect lines and cut-outs. High quality on trend porcelain sinks are also available from Dominion Granite. Their office is urban chic and inviting showroom with amazing slabs in their adjacent warehouse and cutting area. Most highly recommended."

"Couldn’t be more pleased with the job they did as well as their professional team that came to do the work. We had two floors and stairs done, it took them two days, the were on time, the cleaned up after, were efficient, and very polite. I strongly recommend Clawes to anyone wanting to get flooring done. Thank you for a job well done."

"It went great and I will recommend them to others."

"We are very pleased by the work performed by Daniela, Lisandro, and Lindo. The work completed was coordinated by Jason B. which helped replace old and worn out vanities, tiling, etc. which has helped increase our home value."
