Best house leveling pros near Rosslyn, VA

"I've had my share of renovation projects performed by people of various levels of experience, races, ages, ethnic and educational backgrounds. All of them had one thing in common: all these charming, decent, diligent, God-fearing etc contractors magically turned into evil creatures who would poison your life by not following your instructions, showing up late, making a huge mess, spoiling everything, and then disappear into the thin air soon after the deposit money change hands.
So in the beginning I was only cautiously optimistic about working with Israel Clavijo, although I was impressed my the level of his competence, punctuality, assertive yet very courteous manner. Little did I know that I was embarking on the most pleasing and carefree renovation experience of my life!
My big home had only two tiny coat closets which could not possibly house even a small part of my large family's outdoor clothes and shoes. Huge shoe piles in a middle of our elegant foyer, and coats, scarfs and hats hanging everywhere were the eyesore. I've decided to sacrifice part of my underutilized living room to build a large walk-in closet, and turn the existing closets by the entrance door into practical shoe closets. Israel didn't blinked at the idea of building the closet in the living room. Instead, he offered number of very valuable suggestions, did quick measurements and presented me with the proposal on a next day. After checking a couple of more highly recommended home improvement companies, I've decided to go with ICM not only because they were slightly more reasonable but also because I felt more confident working with them. I didn't regret my choice. I was given an honest time frame, which they were able to adhere to, although I kept adding new requests. Israel introduced his crew to me, they were punctual, hard working, neat, and very polite. They would start in the morning and finish in the evening; no long breaks, no mid-week days off, thank you very much. The results were stunning! Incredibly, design and execution of a new closet actually improved my living room's proportions! Israel and his crew diligently saved the wall moldings and matched the paint - my new closet looks very much like a part of the room. As for my new shoe closets, they are every inch as practical as they are pleasure to look at! Instead of expensive LED tape lights, Israel installed cute cabinet lights which served the purpose at the reduced cost. They installed a heavy chandelier in a room that never had a ceiling light - it took an expertise, finesse, and wiliness to satisfy the client. Before they started, they protected floors and furniture with plastic wrap and cardboard. After they finished their work, they cleaned up after themselves. When I asked for a couple of touch-ups, Israel had no problem doing so. I cannot finish my review without mentioning Wendy Clavijo, Israel's wife, office manager and his customer/company liaison. Very polite, very friendly, very diligent, she was always there to help. Everyone who comes to my home makes positive comments on my unusual yet charming clothes and shoes arrangements. I know that without Israel's professionalism and dedication I wouldn't have it. I'd like to express my gratitude to the whole ICM team.

"We hired LUX to repair the foundation on our detached garage. Adam's crew arrived early Monday morning. They were pleasant and professional - really nice people. They worked steadily all day. They arrived early Tuesday morning, and waited for the county inspector to arrive. Once the inspection was complete, they promptly completed the work. We would definitely recommend LUX."

"We are extremely happy with the work done by Thomas Custom Builders (TCB). Overall they did an amazing and outstanding job! They had a contractor on site, on time every day. Brian S. was professional, helpful, patient, hard working and skilled both in managing subcontractors and doing work himself. I trusted him with our home and would work with Brian/TCB again easily. I have already recommended their company to others. TCB renovated a few parts of our house, added electricity to a shed and added an entire master bedroom suite on an additional floor (adding approximately 550 sqft to our house). They finished earlier than expected. Our neighbors couldn't believe how fast the addition was completed and how well done. Any additional costs from the original budget estimate were due to our choice to add more work. I waited to write a review. I wanted to live in the addition for a little while to see how everything holds up. We have had only minor things arise and have been very pleased with the responsiveness of Brian and TCB to come back out and check on things. They came back to add a bracket to a new countertop that moved slightly, they shaved a door that was sticking as the weather changed, they fixed the damage done when carpets were installed by another company, they arranged for a rep from the hot water heater company to come out and fix a noise issue, all done at no additional cost to us. I have worked with contractors before but nothing on this level. It wasn't perfect, there were concerns that came up. I had to learn that this was major construction and with major construction comes mess. Brian and his team addressed our concerns and remedied any issue fairly. With so many negative stories I've heard from people who worked with other companies, I am so very thankful that we had such a good experience and ended up with such an amazing master suite and changes to our home. We love it and we receive many compliments. We chose to work with TCB because they came highly recommended by a neighbor who had similar work done and were very satisfied with their outcome."

"The entire process went extremely well. The estimate was very clear about the scope of work, the crew was professional, on time and carefully about reducing disruption/mess and our basement is dry, as promised. They even went above and beyond and fixed a downspout outside so water would flow away from the house. Once the job was finished, the company rep came out to walk through with us and answer any questions. I have no doubt that if a problem did arise, they'd fix it."

"I found my basement had some mold then hired a handyman opened the drywall. The situation is severe than my expectation, so I use Angie's list to find someone who can fix it. The whole consultation and quotation process is not easy because basement waterproofing is not very common. How to fix it (fix it from inside or outside the basement) is the most important issue need to be clarified. Different contractor give me different proposals and the price are huge different even they recommended a similar solution, and their explanations cannot convince me. I am so happy finally I called Chris. He is very professional, not only told me to fix it exterior but also explained why. The whole work took 3 days and was completed good. They completed the exterior waterproofing and also replaced several downspouts with pop-up drain at the end. They also replaced one extra downspout (not related with the waterproofing work) for free. When they finished the work, they cleaned the site and spread the grass seeds and straws too. One week after they completed all work, one downspout has some leaking issues, I called Chris, and He sent his people to fix it in the second day and fixed it immediately. Now, my basement humidity levels can reach 45%-50% (before the waterproofing, it never lower than 70%)."

"It was great, we love our extra addition room Thanks to NV Design and Build"

"I have been dealing with AJ Building Contractors for years. Arthur takes a lot of pride in his workmanship and is very detail oriented. From the moment you walk in one of his homes you know right away he is an excellent builder, very professional, and he cares about his homes and the quality material that goes into them. If I was having a home, or addition put on my house AJ Building would be my first call."

"The crawlspace in our recently purchased house was a mess—full of water, mold, and deteriorated insulation. NV gave us a competitive price, on par with the other bids we got, and their bid seemed more comprehensive than some of the others. Jaime did an excellent job explaining everything to me and talking me through any questions we had. Once the work began, Manny and the rest of the guys did a great job—they were on site promptly each day and were clearly working hard over the three days of the project. Manny was very communicative and easy to work with and even went out of his way to help us with some extra items in the yard. The crawlspace looks awesome now—clean and dry! Thanks again to the NV Waterproofing team for all their hard work and helping us clean up a rough part of the house!"

"Today I met with Howard Glancy from JES Foundation Repair regarding the outside water seepage problem in my house. The water is coming in the bottom-level of my 3-story townhouse (end unit). My townhouse is the last unit located on the bottom of a hill. I also have standing water in my back yard every time it rains. Howard has very impressive credentials and is an expert in his field. After an inspection of the problem area, Howard gave me a very detailed explanation of what needed to be done to fix the problem. The water is coming in up from the ground underneath my house. The previous day I had a meeting with a representative from a different company who said it would be a simple fix with just a french drain on the side of my house. Howard explained why a french drain would not fix the underlying problem. I have decided to go with JES Foundation Repair and feel confident that I made the right choice."
