Recent Decks Porches Reviews in Spotsylvania
- Resurrection Builders, Inc.Ryan and his team did a great job. They communicated well, showed up on time and finished early. The work is high quality and looks beautiful. Would hire again in a heartbeat!
- Vienna Woodworks LLCThe original deck was rotten and unsafe. Out of a couple of quotes, Vienna Woodwork came in at the most reasonable plus they were recommended to me by a mutual friend. As planned, the finished deck is much larger than the original and wraps around 3/4 of the outside of the house, with a staircase at either end. The workmanship is excellent. The team were very professional, working really hard despite the wintery weather. They were all very friendly, and made a big effort to keep the place tidy each day. Communications prior to and during the construction were efficient and effective. Overall, the experience was excellent and I would highly recommend this company to anyone considering them for the type of work that they do. This was a considerable investment which we wanted to get right, and we are thrilled with the final deck. Can't wait for the snow to clear so we can enjoy it
- Resurrection Builders, Inc.My husband and I are community managers by profession, and we deal with contractors all day long, so we know professionalism and quality work when we see it (and when we don't!). Ryan Sullivan and his team were professional, prompt, efficient and their work product is stellar. We could not be more pleased with the work done on our home - it looks like a brand new house! We are so happy with the results Ryan and his crew did on the exterior we plan to have them do our interior renovation as well. Quality, professionalism and the desire to give the client more than expected...all goals met by Resurrection Builders. Well done, Ryan
- Resurrection Builders, Inc.Contractor demonstrated professionalism throughout. From the estimated appointment, to presentation appointment continuing to job completion, contractor was timely, worked diligently and courteously keeping in constant communication. Permits were obtained and inspectors were met. No deficiencies were noted and work continued on schedule. The construction site was maintained in clean condition each evening. Quality of work has drawn positive comments from neighbors and family members. The price was reasonable. Performance was so satisfactory that contractor was requested to fix deficiencies left by a prior contractor
- Troy-Bilt ConstructionWe had Troy-Bilt do a complete gut and remodel of our master bathroom. This was extensive work that included tearing out the old shower and corner tub, reframing/moving the wall the old shower was in to create a linen closet, replace two vanities, create a large corner master shower, move plumbing for one vanity and shower, replace the toilet, install new medicine cabinets, and replace all lights and fixtures. Also, we removed the bath door and Troy-Bilt hung a sliding barn door. We purchased all the material, except for miscellaneous items, and Troy-Bilt worked with us to create the design and layout of the new bathroom. It all turned out excellent. We are very pleased. Price below includes only labor and miscellaneous material - the bulk of material was provided/purchased by us directly. Also, the price includes work and some extra material for the shower (tile work, some additional granite pieces to match vanity tops, and glass shower walls)
- Troy-Bilt ConstructionAwesome job. Troy wrapped our 18 foot above ground pool with a beautiful deck that hugs the pool and provides lots of space for entertaining our family and friends. He took care of all; the work with the county and stayed within budget. Very happy and we will hire Troy again to replace our front porch and build a screen room
- Troy-Bilt ConstructionVery detailed and quality driven. The cuts on each board were very precise. He didn't rush the job and he took the time needed to produce a great final product. He redesigned the steps and made the new stairway so much better than I could have imagined. I'm getting on his schedule to perform more jobs. Great guy and great work
- Hagan Build & DesignMy experience working with Chris Hagan was 100% positive. Chris impressed me from the get-go by how he runs his business. He places a premium on communication. First, he provided detailed contracts and went over them with me line-by-line. I understood exactly what to expect and was never faced with unpleasant surprises. Second, he was never too busy to talk to me or answer questions, literally making himself available day or night. Third, he kept me in the loop regarding scheduling and project status. All of this made working with him frustration-free. As I have no construction background, I needed a lot of guidance when planning my projects. Chris gave me great ideas and always gave me options from which to choose, sometimes offering aesthetic differences, sometimes budgetary. His expertise was invaluable. I am very happy with all of the work; obviously I wouldn’t give an excellent rating otherwise. The process bears further detail. Without exception, the work crews were skillful, personable and careful to inconvenience me as little as possible while they were here. Taking their cue from Chris, they even helped me with some minor handyman-type matters while on-site, just to make my life easier. They were terrific. Last, and by no means least, Chris is dedicated to making his clients happy. As the projects progressed, he cheerfully rolled with the punches, making changes to conform to my evolving wishes. Undoubtedly such things were frustrating for him, but he never made me feel like I was making his life difficult, bless his heart. I hope that seeing some of the reasoning behind my excellent rating will help you decide to consult Chris Hagan. Personally, I think anyone who passes up an opportunity to work with him is absolutely nuts. I’ll never hire anyone else
- Hagan Build & DesignAll went great? Chris ordered new siding and placed it in an inconspicuous location and took the removed siding to replace siding at the front of the house so it would blend. Screen replacement looks great. We are very pleased with the service. Would hire again and would recommend others consider their services
- Hagan Build & DesignThey were very prompt, professional and friendly. The crew has an excellent work ethic and the quality of the work is top notch!! Chris showed up every day and made sure we were happy with the work. Who wouldn't be happy?! I will definitely use again!!

"The work went well but was slowed by rain for a couple days in July. There was additional work discovered that increased our cost because our initial builder had not insulated around our windows. Also, the original trim was not installed properly by a previous repair company that had been hired to fix weather damage. Chris and his crew made all the corrections for a perfect window installation. They insulated each window, caulked, replaced trim &painted. We can already tell a difference in how well the new windows keep our home air conditioning where it belongs.... inside the house! Our thermostat has been set a bit higher than before which should result in a lower power bill. This is the second project that Chris has done for us & both have been excellent. We will definitely be using Chris again in the future.
