Get matched with top contractors in Locust Hill, VA

"I hired Ultimate Craftsman to tear down an old deck and build a new larger screened in porch with sky lights in it's place. The designer Dave really listened to what I wanted and got on paper my exact vision. The owner Mark always answered his phone and was quick to address any concerns. He used quality materials and professional craftsman. His carpenter John and his roofer Rodney showed great pride in their work. The end result was exactly what I asked them to build and we have received many compliments from our neighbors."

"Quality work for fair price! Went above and beyond to ensure I was satisfied. Will definitely use again for other projects."

"They were great, excellent and the workmanship was there. They were on time and professional."

"Excellent project and exceptional craftsmanship."

"Very thorough, punctual. Easy to talk to and helped me see so many possibilities. Honest and genuinely cares about his customer. I’ll use him for everything!"

"Very professional, punctual but the estimate provided was extremely excessive.
"

"He took the measurements and provided the estimate in the time frame he promised also sent the estimate for labor as well as labor plus installation. Still waiting on another estimate prior to making hiring decision."

"

I had contacted  five other contractors before finding Barry and his stellar team. Two contractors were no shows and three showed but did not return with an estimate, even after several calls to them. I knew that the job would be challenging and would require a skilled architect and contractor. While where the pool sat was level ground, the ground surrounding it was not, it provided very difficult elevation changes. Additionally the deck had to marry to the house and Florida room elevations, which were also different. I also wanted the deck boards to carry over the pool edge all around the pool - an oval pool within a disparate geometric deck (probably why the other contractors ran away)

Barry arrived on time to provide an estimate, made some initial measurements, addressed material requirements, number of gates, steps, access points, etc. Provided a rough order of magnitude based on estimated square footage and asked if he could have his architect come out. I agreed and he said he would get back to me. Barry returned the following day with the architect, three days after that we had plans and a contract. Two days after that we had a permit, then 3 days later the material was delivered and with it a crew that I can say based on experience before and after the job is in all likely hood the best  in the area (not my first contracting rodeo in Virginia Beach). Barry's "A" team is compromised of his son Chase, Fanz Roman and Gilder Roman. The crew was polite, attentive and most importantly WORKED from the time they arrived till the time they departed. 

I know Barry had other jobs ongoing in parallel with mine; but Barry showed up regularly to both work alongside his crew and provide supervision for the challenging compound miters (though little to no supervision was needed-they all have mad carpentry skills!). Barry did have to absent himself for a job up north for a day or two; but the team never missed a beat and Barry called me to ensure I was having no issues. One of Barry's attributes that I really appreciated, other than his knowledge and experience, was his responsiveness, whether through email or phone he always answered immediately. I also appreciated that we worked as a team. If there was an issue it was resolved quickly. As an example, it became apparent that the planned deck pattern would not work, though it looked good on paper. Fanz and Gilder designed a solution, laid it out for approval, The result  was perfect!

I have two more projects I am saving for. I am not even going to waste my time chasing after other contractors. Barry's price is within the market, his work ethic exemplary and he delivers on his promise, the jobs will be his. I want it right, so I will wait for his availability.

"They had a very good character. I would recommend them and use them again. They did a really good. They were very prompt and on time."

"Mark Hooper at Construction Services of Virginia was great to work with and very cost conscious. We didn't have detailed plans, but he was able to complete everything beautifully, and gave us ideas to make everything work together well. Mark has a wealth of experience and was meticulous in his finishes. We were so pleased with the results that we rehired Mark to screen in our back porch. That project also turned out really beautifully. We would definitely recommend Mark for any construction projects."
