Get matched with top patio cover pros in Lorton, VA

"What a terrible experience. There is no supervisor on site despite being told there would be. I had broken sprinkler lines despite having marked them in paint and pointed out the markings. I had to correct the concrete forms because the radius was not to specifications nor was it level. The stone wall was placed in the wrong place and had to be redone. And to top it off they broke both mine and my neighbors mailboxes and refused to pay for the damage."

"Montgomery Shade and awning were wonderful. They made multiple visits and spent time with us to ensure we got the products we needed and the colors we wanted. They had to design and build a custom awning to go over our basement stairwell - results are great. Installation of both the fixed awning and the retractable over our deck was well-done. We couldn't be more pleased - highly recommended."

"They are a scam!!! They took our deposit and never came back!!! DO NOT TRUST OR USE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Perfect, this crew went right to work and cleaned up the exterior area when finished."

"I didn't have a great experience with HAL Co. They take FOREVER to return calls/emails. The day they were scheduled to come replace my fence they no-showed and I had to call the office around 4 pm to find out they weren't coming because a job was running late. The rescheduled installation was a day I was in the office. The crew said the outlet in my back yard wasn't working, so they left without calling me or ringing the doorbell to ask about it (the circuit just needed to be reset, which my partner at home could have done). I didn't find out until several hours later when the office called to tell me the crew had left. The fence finally got installed, and a few days later a neighbor found nails in two of his tires. The crew claimed they performed a metal sweep of the area, but now the neighbor is trying to get me to replace his tires. Finally, the gate latch got damaged somehow, possibly in a storm that happened a few days after the fence install, and HAL wanted $130 to replace the latch. I bought a latch kit off Amazon for $30 and did it myself."

"Great to work with, reasonably priced and performed high quality work. Will hire again for other projects."

"Great job. Finished on-time and within budget."

"My deck replacement project was a guinea pig of HD exterior’s non-validated new crew (Owner admitted that he hired a new carpenter crew). This is a serious quality control issue. The estimated price was median based on few quotes. The actual build started on 9/21 and ended on 10/17 due to multiple issues. It seems like HD exterior is “busy” enough that they are no longer caring about their reputation as you see from older reviews. It was acceptable that current pandemic caused a broken communication between employees within company. However, I captured multiple typos and errors during the documentation and permitting stage (e.g. HOA). During the construction stage, I highly recommend to watch and appeal the daily progress to ensure the quality work, or they will miss something or conceal what they made a mistake. Until I ask a question, I didn’t received any explanation about entire actual build process. After their “proposed completion” on 10/5/20, there was “no final walkthrough with the company staff” on over $14k project. I found 20+ error and issue points (e.g. missing caps, misalignment, non-secured post, and more), but just received finance approval signature request over email and I recognized my deck was completed. Simply, HD exterior crew ran away. These crews are trespassed my backyard without checking in and randomly visited without notice (I thought it is a normal process, but it was not!). Finally, the majority of issues are resolved after direct communication with the owner of this company. If you are looking for a professional detailed work, this is not a right company who left tons of construction debris, screws and nails in my backyard (doesn’t understand the meaning of cleaning for their work).The crew was not careful with handling materials that I’m still seeing popped out nails, screws, cracks, and temporarily covered holes on lumbers and materials due to their mistake. “Necessary post work for owner after the construction” – I had to wash gravel yard and filtered all debris from it. Used shop vac to clean up composite debris. Filled sunken holes around posts and removed all abandoned dirt. Overall, I have a deck that reflected my requested design, but having doubt on “how long it will last” now."

"We write this review as a sigh of relief now that our renovation project with River View is finally complete. The quality of the final work is excellent, and the construction crew, architect, and county inspector were all great to work with. The original crew we worked with, led by Edwin, were so hardworking, friendly, thorough, and fast. That's what really pushed us from 2 to 3 stars. However, the process getting here was frustrating and unnecessarily chaotic. Timeline & Communication Issues: Initial promise: We were clear that the renovation had to allow us to live in our home during construction and be completed before Christmas. Early communication: Our original project manager, Cris, was personable, and early communication seemed fine, if a bit informal and sometimes inappropriately personal. Major miscommunication: Near the holidays, we discovered that the plans submitted included cutting into the roof — something we explicitly said we didn’t want. This contradicted verbal assurances and caused major last-minute changes. Project Management Failures: Poor planning and oversight: Cris and the architect’s plan didn’t align with the construction work. We had to get involved directly with the county to fix errors. Paperwork errors: Incorrect submissions to the county added delays and confusion, which we had to monitor ourselves. Last-minute scramble: We were cleaning up dust on Christmas Eve due to these planning failures. Personnel Turnover & Lack of Handoff: Cris leaves the company: No proper handover to James, the new PM, who was unfamiliar with our project. Crew replaced: The original crew, who were great, were gone; new crew had no context or direction. James leaves: Another handoff with no context — the third PM had no idea about our project or its outstanding items. Escalation mishandled: When we raised our concerns with Kyle, the CEO, the response felt dismissive, with no accountability for the previous missteps. In summary, it's a beautiful end result... but we’re glad it’s over. The process left us frustrated, confused, and frankly, exhausted."

"EcoDecks team did a very professional and beautiful job replacing our old deck with a new one. They were detailed, timely, reliable, and the workmanship of the deck is excellent. They used high quality lumbar. It was a pleasure having this team replace our deck and I look forward to using this company in the future."
