Best home builders near Smithfield, VA

"Outstanding job, great customer service, great quality of work, great work ethic. It is so nice to have a contractor who does what they say they are going to do and shows up when they say they are going to show up. Phelps Construction removed and rebuilt my garage and they did an outstanding job. I highly recommend this company."

Get It Done Contracting greatly exceeded my expectations and the husband and wife co-owner team of Dave and Melisa treated our kitchen as if it was their own.

We sought estimates from four contractors in the fall of 2014 and selected Get It Done Contracting in January 2015 because they were less expensive than the others.  We also felt comfortable working with Melisa.  Melisa manages the initial estimate process and does the paperwork/ordering behind the scenes and Dave performs demo and manages the project on site.  If you appreciate being treated like you are the only game in town, go with Get it Done. 

For background, we spent about $35,000 on the project, which lasted about a month and included demo, painting, ceiling fan, pendant light, can lights, under cabinet lighting, painting (walls/ceiling), cabinets and cabinet/drawer pulls, granite countertops and a sink, 700 sq ft of tile (kitchen, laundry room, hall, foyer, bathroom), tile backsplash, toilet and stainless steel appliances.  We let Dave and the gang rip out and install everything.  The way Get it Done operates is that the customer purchases appliances, pulls, faucet, ceiling fan, tile back splash/grout and floor tile/grout separately.  The reason for this is so you have control of the selection.  The estimate takes this into account, so you aren't paying more than some of the competitors who include everything or nearly everything in their estimate.  We had to go to the granite store and pick out the slabs we wanted, select the edge style for the granite, and pick out the sink style.  We also went to the cabinet store to pick out the cabinet style and color. 

What I like about Get it Done is that they don't subcontract to a bunch of random people.  They have a tile guy, Keith, who is fantastic and does all the tiling himself.  He spent about two and a half weeks in our house.  By the time he left it felt like he was one of the family.  I learned a lot about tiling by watching and talking with him.  They have a painter, Jesse, and an electrician and plumber (can't recall their names).  They were all knowledgeable, polite, courteous, and respected our home.  We saw Dave and Keith more than the rest.  The others were in and out pretty quickly.  If I ever had an issue, Dave quickly rectified it.  He always went above and beyond to ensure I was satisfied.

If I had any advice, give yourself about 4-5 months of slop from the time you start researching contractors until the project is complete.  We spent a couple of months selecting Get it Done, then it took about a month or so to get the cabinets in.  While the cabinets are being ordered, you can purchase the appliances, tile and all the other things.  The timing worked out well.  Stay patient because it is a long and nerve-racking process, but it is well worth it when complete.

Ultimately, we were so happy with Get it Done that we are planning to have them give us an estimate on our master bathroom remodel.  I would never recommend skipping the estimate process and throwing all your eggs in one contractor's basket, but you can't go wrong if you get just one estimate from Get it Done and then pull the trigger.

Note:  I'm attaching before and after photos.  We have since purchased a matching kitchen table and window treatments.  Those were not in the "After" photos when I took them.

"Excellent job. Owner set appointment and came to house to be sure that the Angie's List deal was appropriate for my bathroom. This was kind of an unusual situation, but it's worked out well. I chose the tile that I wanted and emailed that info with the contract; all of the paperwork was handled by email, very convenient. There was a slight delay getting the job started, but then everything went smoothly. The installer arrived when he said he would, explained the timetable and procedure. and did a beautiful job. He's very polite and knowledgeable, and works neatly.
I'll call Belletto Construction first for an estimate the next time I need work done to the house.

"All around knowledgeable of home maintenance and even easy suggestions of upgrades."

"This was my second experience with QA. I finally decided to remodel my kitchen after a few months of contemplating. I admit I sought estimates from other companies b/c this was a huge investment for me and I wanted to make sure I did my due diligence. Ultimately, I went with QA b/c of the price (which was MUCH better than most estimates) and know their work is great. I was not at all disappointed. My cabinets and countertops are more beautiful than I ever imagined. Again, Mr. Neil was very professional and patient with me as I asked a ton of questions before the work was even started. He helped me pick out the most complementary combination and I am very very pleased with the end result. They were prompt and the work was clean. I'm happy that I chose them again to do work on my house.

"We work closely with Jon Wilson and his team. I highly recommend Marketplace Homes!"

"My project went well. I’m a General Contractor and use Custom Contracting’s services often. This project included re doing all of the cornice and siding on a two story home. From tear off to install, everything went very smoothly. Custom has great field management and they are quick to address any issues that typically arise when a job is in production. They are very knowledgeable and helpful in keeping me up to date with what’s going on in their area of expertise and that helps me greatly as a GC. They conduct their business in a professional manner and you can trust that you’ll be in good hands when you choose Custom Contracting for your roofing and siding project."

"Preston of G-1 Plumbing performed the services and addressed the toilet & drain problem. He was unable to stop leak(made it worse) & submitted his recs to Choice Home for review. I was unable to understand Choice Home's response regarding the faucet leak. Their review stated faucet needed to be replaced BUT it was under "builder's warranty." I built this home in 2005. There is no "builder's warranty" now. I cancelled the proposed work order & paid out-of-pocket. A Friend, who was familiar with my builder and knows faucet components, came to my home, adjusted/cleaned the faucet cartridge and stopped the leak. The CHW tech, Preston, is conscientiuos, however, IMHO lacked the knowledge & experience to stop my leak. Home Warranty Companies, at least in my area, hire owner/operators who need the work to build their business and are NOT the most experienced/knowledgeable & are willing to work for less money. In my experience, Home Warranty Companies want the CHEAPEST resolution, not the BEST. I would recommend G-1 Plumbing for most plumbing issues."

"Leo was our technician. He was very knowledgeable and professional. After inspection, he gave us our estimate for termite treatment and pest control. Also mentioned, after checking the crawl space that extra vapor barrier is needed. Expensive for that portion but comparable pricing for termite and pest treatment. He gave us our termite warranty. No termites now but our home is 7 years old and termite preventative will be needed.

"It took about a week to complete the job. The team at Bedrock did an exceptional job.  Jason and his crew members were knowledgeable and professional.  There was great care taken to ensure that there was no yard damage.  The 6 piers were installed and all of the brickwork on the foundation was repaired.  With the lifetime warranty that Bedrock provides and the quality of the work which was provided I feel secure that the foundation of my home is now solid.  I would highly recommend the services of Bedrock to anyone in need of foundational repair.
