I prefer smaller jobs that a person may not feel comfortable doing themselves but a contractor would not feel it was worth the effort to take on.

"We have used Ryan's services at least 3 times now, and he is always professional, on time, and thorough. He does good work, and makes sure he does it correctly. He has become our go-to handyman!"

1980 years of experience

Southwest Sunroom & Window Co. was established in 1980 and is a Class A home improvement contractor that provides quality service to Salem, Roanoke, Lynchburg, Vinton, Smith Mountain Lake and surrounding New River Valley areas. As your home improvement contractor, we will devote our full attention to your project. Our professional team maintains a high standard for craftsmanship, management and customer satisfaction.

"Terrible customer service experience over a job that took twice as long as originally planned. I left messages for weeks and weeks for management to call me back. When I finally did get a manager on the phone they were argumentative and unapologetic about my frustrations. It seems like this company has too many customers and not enough staff to serve them. Very disappointing-- especially for a local company."

Additional Website: www.charlottesvillesiding.com. Financing Available.

"In the summer of 2019 I hired Albemarle Siding & Windows to replace all the siding on my home and all the windows. They nicely arranged for new gutters as well. They did a prompt, professional, and very fine job. The gutters were installed by another party and he did an excellent job. However, when I asked them to come back and install shutters and fix a hole in the siding that my lawn care contractor had made, they abandoned me. I sent e-mail to tell them I wanted the shutters, and Mr. Orrock wrote back and quoted a price. I then approved and asked them to come and do it. While I was waiting on that, the lawn guy put a hole in the siding. I wrote to Mr. Orrock again and asked him to repair it. A month or two went by without a word, so I called and was promised a call back, but it never came. The e-mail approving the shutters is dated 11 September and the one asking for the repair is dated 9 October. I placed a phone call after that, but the only response has been silence. Evidently they handle the big items well but not the little ones, and they've turned their back to me."

The company was started in 1951 as a partnership with Lloyd G. Flint, Jr. and two Realtors at Steptoe Patteson. Lloyd Flint developed and ran the construction end of the business. It evolved into the Home Builders of Lynchburg, Inc. In 1960 the business was divided and Mr. Flint took over the construction division. Soon after the name was changed to L.G. Flint Inc. Flint’s reputation for high-quality, price competitive buildings continued to grow. L. G. Flint’s eldest son Bob Flint, CGR, joined the company in 1975 after his military service and work as an engineer. His commitment to quality is shared by the staff of experienced, full time employees. Well supervised teams of skilled craftsmen give the company the capability and flexibility to keep projects moving, even under challenging conditions. Bob’s son Andy Flint joined the Company in 1997 and is now President of L. G. Flint supported by a strong team of Executives, Superintendents and Staff, some of whom have been with the Company for over 20 years. Through the years L.G. Flint, Inc has developed the versatility to tackle a variety of jobs. Flint builds and remodels residential and commercial structures. Commercial construction ranges from manufacturing and retail builds to college dormitories and churches. Flint’s reputation for quality may lead people to think that their work is expensive, yet when quality and service are considered, Flint is among the most price-competitive contractors in Central Virginia. Flint’s 60 year track record provides solid evidence of the firm’s competitive edge and financial stability. L.G. Flint has been serving Lynchburg and all of Central Virginia since 1951.

"You can't get any better. They have knowledge and great personnel. I had water coming into the basement after being repaired earlier by a different group. Flint redid the work because some pipes had been crushed when the first group backfilled the dirt. The moral of the story is to always get someone good."

"APP initially came in to encapsulate our crawlspace and renovate our bathroom in our new home due to water damage. Some structural issues were discovered, and they were able to fix those as well. Our bathroom turned out beautifully and we could not be more grateful to Hunter and his team – Nathan Patterson, Robert Railton, and Steven Ingold. Our crawlspace is now fully encapsulated, complete with new plumbing and new jacks under the bathroom. Their communication was fantastic, they thoroughly explained what was needed each step of the way and were extremely patient with my design changes. They did a very thorough job that will last a long time. We love how the bathroom turned out, thank you SO much for bringing our dreams to life! We look forward to working with APP again on any future projects!"

"Elis and his assistants did a fantastic job. I was unsure how to fix some issues from years ago since the material was no longer available and Elis solved the problem with a different method that came out wonderful!! He has an eye for detail. He did a great job installing trim around a very large window, too. His work exceeded my expectations, and I would like to hire him again for some painting when he is available."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. 

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

Metal stud framing parts include the studs themselves, upper and lower tracks that act as top and bottom wall plates, various angle fasteners and clips, screws for fastening pieces togeher, metal straps, c-channel supports, and thicker steel supporting structures. Roof framing metal components include pre-fabricated trusses, heavy-gauge stud pieces, and various plates and fasteners.

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.
