Excellent! We were so apprehensive to build a custom home when we couldn't be there every day to oversee the project( we were 5 states away). Mike kept us up to date with photo's and progress reports. He met up with us to select finishes and was so helpful giving us tips and recommendations. Top quality workmanship. Truly and very happy with our forever home.

Working with Mike was a wonderful experience. We communicated weekly for months during the construction of my home. At the time, I was living in another state and had full confidence that my home would be a superior project under Mike's guidance and direction. Eleven years later my home is still standing. Individuals who visit my residence marvel at the construction, details and features that mark Mike's gifted abilities. Most importantly, Mike is an honest man and a person of integrity. In an industry where many builders produce a inferior product or "cut corners", Mike did not subscribe to those devious business practices. Mike was entrusted with the biggest financial investment I had ever made while I lived in another state. Some individuals thought I foolish to place so much trust in this contractor. I however was not disappointed at the results. In fact he exceeded my expectations. Eleven years later a relationship that began as a business arrangement evolved into a family friend.

Mike Fusco is an excellent builder and contractor. He built a house for me and a house for my daughter immediately afterwards. Mike was the ultimate professional. He was thorough and conscientious and demanded good work from his workers. Additional, he did his best to make sure that the job was done within budget without cutting corners. I would recommend Mike to anyone who needed a good builder.

He arrived prepared and ready to work, he explained all that needed to be done as he went along, the workmanship was very good with little to no mess left behind. I will be hiring Mike again for the next project.

Mike's attention to detail in even the initial small handyman projects was what had me bring him back for the additional work. Mike, unfortunately, suffered with some serious health issues while working for me (they've now been resolved, thankfully!), and yet he still ensured that everything he did in my home was done to as close to perfection as possible (hard to do with my home being so unlevel...). Mike took every opportunity in every step of the process to inform me of what needed to be done, and the best and most cost effective way to do it. When coming across unexpected snags (i.e. after pulling the old laundry area down and finding cracked support beams), he was always up front about what things were going to cost, how it needed to be fixed, and how long it would take. Mike is one of those rare workers who is not only honest to a fault, but is not happy until he has completed his projects to the complete satisfaction of his customer AND himself. He offered me many opportunities along the way, many of which I politely declined, to learn how to do some of the smaller tasks in order to save me money. Mike is ALWAYS either available to reach via phone, or will get back with you very quickly. I will definitely have Mike back for future projects - when you find someone who is trustworthy, tries to save you money, and has the 100% pride in his work that Mike does, why would I hire anyone else?

"Hi [Member Name Removed], Thank you for the review. I enjoyed working for you on your home. Health wise I am doing very good now. The doctors did a excellent job and the procedure was successful. I am looking forward to working for you again. I think probably one of the most dangerous things I found was when I was pulling down the drop ceiling and I found the hot wire. That was a 220 wire and it was hot laying next to a metal duct. That wire was there since the house was built. Luckily it never hurt anyone. The house is more functional with better use of the living space. I really enjoyed working with you! Looking forward to returning to work on your home. Have a good day and wish you the best!"

Mike was very knowledgeable and did great work. Even provided some tips for some DIY items that I could do later.

Went great! Mike does fantastic work and he is very good at getting the job done. He’s a bit on the chatty side, but he really delivered a well finished product.

The quality of the work was good, however more tasks should have been completed in the allotted 4 hour timeframe. Upon arrival, Mike's drill was not charged and ready for use, which is unacceptable and delayed starting the work. He also didn't prioritize the tasks in order to compensate for the equipment not being ready for use. Additionally, he moves very slowly which henders getting tasks done in a timely manner. All of our tasks were relatively simple handyman tasks that we expected a professional contractor to move through rather quickly and simply didn't meet our expectations. Mike does quality work, but he moves to slow for our liking and we should've received more work for the money. We have to finish a portion of the work he started but didn't complete which we aren't pleased with. We question his ability to take on minor or major projects and complete them in a timely fashion and therefore wouldn't hire him again. We would recommend Mike, but he just isn't for us because we expect good quality, good price and timeliness.

Mike is a knowledgeable builder who does excellent quality work. He doesn’t take short cuts and takes pride in his work. He had the experience and expertise to quickly resolve unforeseen problems that arose on the job. I had complete confidence in him and the job he did.
Response from Mike Fusco Builder
"Hi [Member Name Removed], Thank you for the review. That project had its challenges and nothing I could not handle. Yes the punctuality thing has been tough. I was moving during your project. That is equipment, personal items, etc, and injured my back in the process. Yes I was burned out after living in hotel rooms and everything else for months attempting to get reestablished in my home state of Virginia. A 300 mile move is rough when combined with normal life. I still completed your project with all of it! It was great working with you [Member Name Removed]! Thanks for the review now that the 300 miles plus move is mostly over things will go more smoothly. I will be very happy when I have a construction crew again and I am constructing projects over $100,000.00 I do excel more at the larger projects. I have put together a great team of subcontractors at this point also. I like the smaller projects too! So no job too small for people that have smaller projects. i am very happy to be moved back to Virginia. I like the valley but I am close enough to Northern Virginia to work there. Looking forward to working in places like NOVA, Ashburn, Leesburg, Manassas, Gainsville, the Shenandoah Valley and all points in between. I have had a very good experience over all working with clients from The Valley and Northern Virginia region. It is good to be home! That will be done this weekend. Looking forward to working in Northern Virginia and the valley. I will construct larger projects throughout the state. I wrote a long reply because I want people to know I am here to stay and ready to take on all the work I can handle. I will construct larger projects all over the state. I also offer modular homes which I feel are a great price to value ratio of site built homes. I stick build homes also. Thank your for the review and have a good day!"

Prettty good. Mike completed all the items on my list and a few extra tasks too. My only issue is that he changed our appointment time at the last minute. He did arrive on time on the new time.
Response from Mike Fusco Builder
"Hi [Member Name Removed], Yes I appreciate your patience. I was living in a motel room and my tools were in storage a 30 minute drive away. Yes that is over. That was not like living at home and having my tools with me. A 300 mile move is a lot of work especially when one is moving a business too. I am moved in and almost totally settled in. I wanted to come back to my home Virginia. I am settled in now at a house and I have my office set up. I am ready to take on all the work I can. I also have a list of good subcontractors to work with me on larger projects. I hope your dogs enjoy all of the dog baths. Thank you for your patience, your review, and have a good day!"

Mike overcame several obstacles due to the house being 41 years old. It appears things were done differently when the house was built. He persevered and the job done perfectly. Mike was very knowledgeable. He actually is an expert on high end remodels. I looked at some of projects and determined that he would be the go-to guy when I re-do my kitchen. Good experience.
Response from Mike Fusco Builder
"Hi [Member Name Removed], Thank you for the review. High end remodels and custom home construction are my main areas of expertise. I build modular homes and site built homes. Looks like I have a couple of houses dropping into the pipeline. Been a long time NC has been very slow for 8 years when it comes to custom homes; however, Virginia seems to be rather healthy. It is good to be back home in Virginia. I am a Virginian. Thank you very much [Member Name Removed] it was good to meet you and I enjoyed our conversation very much! Hope to work with you again one day."

Writing review for Angie list Mike did a great job! I am very happy with his work. We worked together. I was helping with the work and this saved me on the project. We stained and applied polyurethane to the shoe molding I wanted to install. The trim joints were so tight I there was no need for putty. Maybe one place and it was less than 1/16 of a inch gap maybe if that. With stained trim I appreciated his tight tolerances on the molding. Looks like the trim grew there. Mike is detail oriented and also taught me how to install the trim myself. Mike was willing to teach me and give me pointers to help me save money for DIY. His work is very neat and he is a easy going person to work with. The finish he applied to the trim is smooth and looks great! The tight fitting cuts looked good. He is a master carpenter as I can see. He will be working on my home more in the future. He is a conscientious carpenter. Mike also helped with a few smaller issues on my flooring. I am very happy with the services performed and would recommend him.

He did good work
Response from Mike Fusco Builder
"Hi [Member Name Removed]! Thank you for the review! I did like working with you [Member Name Removed]. I will disagree with you on two things. The work running the base trim is well within industry standards. Actually many of the new trimmers do not know how to cope inside corners as it should be done. On the price? Well my price is going to stay where it is at. Maybe even go up, I am well within industry standards for licensed professionals. One thing I did learn on this one is to not walk into anymore deal blasts without looking at the job first. That way I can see what I am getting myself into before I come out to do the work. I just wanted to get the trim installed for you and with the carpet layers laying carpet at the same time really slowed me down. Had more to look out for such as not staining the carpet and moving things around to accommodate that. I did the best I could and completed running the trim for you that day as you requested. I stayed late to finish it. That was a lot of cutting and walls. With the deal blast I work on the customers in the order I receive them. Hope we can work together again but I want to look at the job before I show up to work. That was a very hot humid day! This one was a little rushed. Hope you do well selling your home! It was good meeting you and Mrs. [Member Name Removed]! Have a great day!"

Mike Fusco provides exceptional service to his customers. He responded to my phone calls, emails and was available to address concerns I had regarding the development of my project. The service he provided especially with regard to garbage disposal, left me satisfied and content with his work. I have not used other contractors since being introduced to Mike Fusco about 8 years ago. Anyone who retains his service will be satisfied with the quality of his work.

Mr. Fusco was very responsive to our requests and very helpful in determining how to fix our issues. He made an appointment that was very convenient, came on time, and finished the work in a timely manner. We were very pleased with his work and would definitely hire him again.

The project started with the addition being constructed and then the new kitchen was built into the space, this included a custom 13 ft live edge maple bar – which was done my Mike. After completion of the new kitchen, the old kitchen was demolished and the new construction started. Mike was extremely helpful during the entire project – he had lots of great ideas and worked with us on getting the little details that we wanted. He helped us find the maple slab, that would later become one of the most beautiful live edge bars that I have seen, and he pointed us in the right direction for other items and contractors to get the finishing touches we were looking for (Flooring & Cabinets). Mike was the General Contractor and had a mostly great set of subs that worked for him, he also coordinated and worked with the other contractors that we hired – Stove Installation, Cabinets, and Flooring. This was an overall $250K project and yes, we will hire Mike again – we are already talking to him about finishing out our basement and another Addition (New Master Bath with steam room). It was pleasure working with Mike and I look forward to starting the new projects soon. As I said, Mike and his crews are not the fastest working folks - this project took almost a year to complete - some of this was due to weather and some was due to coordination of Mike's Sub-Contractors.

"Thank You [Member Name Removed]! I have been so busy moving I did not know you wrote a response until 2-7-17. I enjoyed working on your home and I am looking forward to working on the next two projects on your home. I like how the bar top came out; that was a lot of work and it is one of a kind. Yes I am a small business so I do not have the large staff of the bigger firms. Maybe one day I will when the economy turns around. Then I can train a new generation of carpenters in the old school ways of construction. Looking forward to seeing you soon my friend!"

We contacted Mike regarding building our forever home. We have never built a home before, so we had many questions.
The conversation started with an email, but turned into a great phone conversation.
Clearly Mike has great experience as a builder/contractor. He explained how the process works, where some hidden costs are, and some ways we can reduce our expenses. I completely appreciated his honesty and being upfront on our expectations.
I left the conversation very comfortable that we could work with Mike and vice versa.
We will keep you posted as our home progresses!

There were quite a few glitches getting the work scheduled. Mike was very apologetic about this. My schedule was not critical, so I could deal with it. But some people might not be happy about that. That is the reason for the B on punctuality.
Overall, the quality of work was good to excellent. Mike is especially good at carpentry and wood repair, but he did well on all of the jobs. Mike is very easy to get along with and very professional. He provided suggestions and advice on the most economic solutions to the various issues. He advised me when it would be better to use a different contractor e.g. an Angie's List painter for a day deal was more economical than having Mike do the painting. And he advised me when he was not the right man for the job, such as repairing the under counter sink. He pointed out some additional work that I might need to consider in the future. He was very concerned about the safety of the hammock for my son. He seems very genuine.

"Thank You [member name removed], I am very busy. It is not time to staff up yet so scheduling is rough right now, plus the winter weather. I know I have a lot of irons in the fire. I understand the B and thank you for your patience. Between winter weather and other projects I was stretched very thin(lots of people calling and trying to get their projects completed. Small projects can be rough on scheduling especially when weather keeps messing things up). Hopefully if the economy continues to recover I may be able to hire employees to handle more projects. I was also busy trying to get things lined up for building an addition onto a house. Thank you very much Ian and I enjoyed working with you and knowing you as a person. I do understand the B. I am just swamped with work. Doing the best I can. This is why I am now letting people know I am a few months out of scheduling work at this time. Also AM and PM time frames. Thank you again for your patience [member name removed] the hammock anchoring system was a lot of research to find. Had to scratch me head on that one. Never installed a hammock indoors before. Thank You [member name removed], hope all goes well for you!"

Mike's work was exceptional. He took the time to answer all of my questions (and there were a lot) and did everything I asked of him with not a single word of complaining. He took a tremendous amount of pride in his work which is what I appreciate most. I found both him and his work to be beyond exceptional. He will be my first phone call if ever I need help again!!!!

Very wishy washy on the phone and was talking about all the future services he could do before he even started work. His estimates on cost and time were high for the work stated then when he got in took less time. He was convinced that garbage disposals were illegal in wake county. (there was a law passed 6 years ago then it was overturned within a few weeks). At the end he wanted to tack on additional cost for his gas cost for driving.
