"If I could give this company a 6 out of 5 stars I would! They did a fantastic job overhauling my mother's deck, back patio, fencing, and front portico. All of the work was absolutely essential for safety and structural reasons, and I'm so glad I chose OSSA to do the work. My mother has Alzheimer's, which presented additional issues, but the entire crew was incredibly kind, respectful, and understanding of the unique challenges they faced. They were responsive and kept me aware of everything regarding the job along the way. My mother is so pleased, and I have the peace of mind that all of her outdoor space is safe, beautiful, and accessible. I will be hiring OSSA to do some work in my own home, as I look to make necessary improvements in the future. I've told everyone I know how how wonderful they are. 6 out of 5 stars!"

Our project, which was completed in January 2025, consisted of a complete remodel of two full bathrooms which were vintage 1983. Amanda was our designer, Mark was the lead installer, and John was the project manager. All three of them provided welcome suggestions, good guidance and advice throughout the process… starting with clear and transparent service agreements. Select was very accommodating with scheduling and access to the house / workspaces. Questions were answered promptly by Amanda, Mark and John, and any concerns were addressed to our satisfaction.

Free Estimates. We understand how stressful and expensive home improvements can be from choosing the right contractor for the job to having your house in disarray for a period of time. If you are updating your home to put on the market, we offer a deferred payment option. We recognize the struggle that sellers face when getting ready to sell their home. Often the main issue is simply not having the finances to make the necessary improvements that will generate a higher sales price. For some it is simply understanding that today's buyers want move in ready homes. ​HEC was started to give sellers and their agents the ability to sell their home quickly and at the highest price possible. There is no secret to selling, UPDATED HOMES SELL FASTER AND HIGHER! Our clients have averaged a 130% Return on Investment when updating their home for sale. We can take care of all of your home remodeling needs from finishing a basement, remodeling your kitchen and bathrooms, to replacing your roof. ​Our approach is simple - we use high quality contractors to make smart updates to your home or listing based on our 20 years of experience in the DC Area Real Estate Market. We do not recommend high end upgrades if they will not generate a good return on your investment. We work with you or your agent to establish an expected price after updates to make an informed decision. The owners of Home Equity Contractors are licensed Realtors in VA, MD, and DC.

"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."

Whether you want to remodel your existing home or build a brand new one, Thomas Custom Builders can help. Our 70+ years of combined experience as Northern Virginia general contractors and our commitment to quality ensures your custom construction or design-build project will be a success. Be it a master suite, custom kitchen or home addition, we dig deep to learn what’s making you spend your time and resources on this particular project. We honestly discuss the costs associated with your goals, then we deliver what we do best: excellence in custom remodeling. The only thing that counts is finishing your job exactly the way you want it. No compromise.

"In short, things went GREAT, and I can whole-heartedly recommend Thomas Custom Builders (TCB), which is a "design-build" firm. Here's how things went: Firstly, expect that they have a backlog, and it may take a while to get to your project - probably because their reputation proceeds them. It took nearly 9 months between when we started with them on scoping our our project to when we broke ground, however we ended up with a design that worked. Through that phase, we worked with TCB on what goals we wanted to achieve, and what our budget was, and they designed to achieve as much of our goals within our budget. During construction, TCB promised to have a foreman who spoke fluent English on-site every day, and they delivered on that. This stood in pretty stark contrast with some of my previous contracting experiences, where the project could languish without seeing anyone come to the site. With TCB, the project always moved forward - sometimes it moved rapidly, with multiple trades on-site - sometimes it moved moderately, with the foreman and a couple helpers - and sometimes it was just the foreman handling things himself - but it always moved. TCB also is the kind of company that won't nickle and dime you. If something small is missed in the project scope that is needed to really complete the project, they'll do it. Don't expect them to shell out thousands of dollars in that respect - that would be a change order (which I had one) - but at the end of the day, I very much got the impression that they really took pride in their work and wanted me to be happy with the end result, which I am. TCB estimated the job would take between 3 to 4.5 months, and they completed in 4 months. I had one change order to connect my concrete/flagstone walkway to my stairs, which we had missed in the scope and was too big of a cost for TCB to absorb ($2.5k), however that was the only overage, so all in all we stayed on-budget. Things that we got done in the project: - Bumped out front to add walk-in closet and much bigger master bath to master bedroom. - Reconfigured entryway with a foyer/mudroom and semi-open staircase to attic. - insulated attic. It's still unfinished, but much better for storage. - new roof w/ 30 year shingles - widened dining - family room entry to be open concept. - re-did fireplace wall with built-ins, stone tile, gas insert - new paint for most of first floor - refinished all hardwood. One thing that we did to help out is that we completely moved out of the first floor as well as most of the attic stuff into a POD. TCB will readily tell you that they aren't professional movers, so go ahead and hire a professional moving firm to do that for you to clear the way for TCB to do their work. We used 2 men and a truck and were very happy with them."

TCB will readily tell you that they aren't professional movers, so go ahead and hire a professional moving firm to do that for you to clear the way for TCB to do their work. We used 2 men and a truck and were very happy with them."

Repair Countertops questions, answered by experts

If you need to make curved cuts on your laminate countertop, get out the jigsaw. A jigsaw with a fine blade will allow you to follow curved traced lines. It is important to cut slowly and to let the jigsaw do most of the work with you acting as a guide. 

Yes, you can install a new layer of laminate over old laminate if you want to save time and money. The most important part of this project is cleaning the existing countertop thoroughly. Then, you will need to sand the surface and apply contact cement, after which you can install the new laminate layer on top. Other options for improving your existing laminate countertops include painting them or installing an epoxy counter on top.

If you find that the laminate boards are chipping as you cut, you can try flipping the board upside down and cutting the backside first. You can also make a small cut to the top of the board before flipping it and cutting it from the backside. If these strategies do not work, you can place painter’s tape along the edge of the cut to prevent chipping. It is also possible that the saw blade is dull and needs to be replaced.

The best blades for cutting laminate are carbide laminate-cutting blades. These blades have horizontal teeth rather than teeth that point upward and cut on the upward stroke. Cutting on the upward stroke, which is how wood blades work, can chip the laminate. Laminate-cutting blades also tend to have more teeth than wood blades, reducing the chances of chipping the countertop.

You can resurface existing countertops as long as they’re not significantly damaged. Of course, it does depend on the material. Wood, natural stone, quartz, and even laminate are all good candidates for resurfacing. If you have tile, you may want to just replace the damaged tiles rather than resurface the entire countertop.
