"We chose VKB to do our complete gut master bathroom renovation and were so happy with their work in terms of reliability, craftsmanship, and customer service that we hired them to renovate our hall bathroom as well. For both bathrooms we worked with Calvin as our designer and Jason as our project manager, and both of them went above and beyond to make sure that we were happy with the design, that the project ran smoothly and on time, and that the final product was exactly what we wanted. We wouldn't hesitate to use VKB again if we need any other work done on our home, and we have already begun recommending them to family and friends and will continue to do so. We are very pleased with our experience with VKB!"

"After talking to and receiving quotes from 6 contractors we selected BK Contractors (Bret) for our remodel. The project included creating a new home office that needed to be insulated and sound proofed, a home theater, a kid’s playroom, half bath, and craft / arts center. Additionally, the hot water heater needed to be relocated with new plumbing lines run. Bret and his team were very professional and great to work with!!! Starting with the design and contracting process, Bret was easy to work with. He was more than happy to spend as much time as needed to help design the project. Like most people, we had a limited budge. Bret was able to offer options that allowed us to stay within our budge while maximizing our design. As for the contract, Bret’s scope of work and contract was thorough and left no doubt we select the right contractor. Within days of signing the contract Bret had the building permit in order and his guys were hard at work. The framing, electrical and plumbing rough-in were competed within a few weeks. All of his employees are very professional, polite, respect your home as if is it their home. At the end of each day, the work site was swept clean and the trash taken out. Throughout the entire project Bret was ALWAYS available and just a phone call away. I would absolutely recommend BK Contractors and will certainly use him again."

"Marshall Painter and his Project Manager Raul provided an excellent product. Marshall suggested various enhancements to the porch plan and they were excellent. He and Raul were in contact with me throughout construction to ensure I was pleased. Raul managed a team that was hardworking, polite, responsive and showed pride in their work. Several neighbors who observed the construction asked for business cards and followed up with contacts for similar projects. I have been very pleased work and final product."

"We were to Flood Crew from our property management company, and found their reviews on Angie’s List. The crew arrived on time, did a great job, and our carpet’s look like new."

I recently had water damage to the kitchen in my condo in Alexandria, Va which required a complete kitchen model.  Since I?m an absentee owner, unfamiliar with the area and© was under a lot of time constraints, my situation was extremely stressful.  I went through two unreliable contractors before being given an advertisement on Atlantis Home Improvement.  I called this company and spoke to its president , Bayram Gulsen and within four hours, he met with me at the condo. He surveyed my damage and even opened his showroom on a Sunday afternoon for me.  I was very impressed  with his sensitivity to the urgency of my situation. He was professional and knowledgeable, made me feel that I could trust him to do a top notch job.  Within the time frame he gave me for the completion of the job, my beautiful kitchen remodel was complete.  Please see the pictures I?ve attached which I?m sure will not give it justice.  I simply love it.

I am so pleased with this company.  The customer service was top notch-------couldn?t have asked for better.  They were totally reliable, showed up when they said they would and kept me informed throughout the process. A company is only as good as its employees.  These employees worked very hard.  I have never seen anything like it. They were professional in every way, giving attention to detail and exhibiting pride in every aspect of the job.  I am so impressed with this company and I highly recommend them.

"During Hurricane Sandy we discovered a leak in the ceiling of our bay window in our dining room. 
We contacted several contractors including Suncrest for estimates to fix and repair the damage. We evaluated each quote for cost and thoroughness. 
The President of "Suncrest" himself came out to assess the damage.  
The estimate he provided included removing the trim, drywall and insulation (surrounding the window), installing new drywall and insulation, inspecting the overhang/roof over the window for signs of what caused the leak, caulking and/or taking necessary action to fix it. The quoted work was the most consistent with the adjuster's initial estimate. Even though the quoted price was several hundred dollars more than the adjusters quoted dollars, we decided to hire Suncrest to do the work. 
Suncrest requested a check for 50% of the cost upfront before they would put us on their schedule. I provided them the check on 24 Jan 2013 and they scheduled the work for 6-8 February. I had to arrange with my own workplace to be home during that timeframe so they could perform the repairs.  They cashed my check immediately, which I thought was a little premature. Usually deposits for work are held until the work begins. 
One business day before the work was to begin, Suncrest postponed the start date due to their having a ?backlog of work? caused by a storm that passed through our area.  They pushed the work off for a week to 13-15 February 2013. I fortunately was able to change my arrangements with my workplace to accommodate this schedule change.
The President called and said that he?d either call or drop by the night before the work was to begin (or at a minimum the next morning), to go over the details of the work to be performed.  He did not come by or call.  
On the day the work was to begin, the Operations Manager and his craftsman arrived.  He briefly went over the details of the work to be performed (to include taking out the wall around the window, replacing the insulation, hanging and finishing new drywall, replacing trim, inspecting the overhang, fixing the leak, etc.). He also said he was going to bring in his best painter to paint the room afterwards, since we have such a beautiful house and he wanted it to look like new when they were done.  
He soon left, leaving his craftsman to do the job.  The craftsman removed about 1/3 of the drywall and insulation. With my help we were able to identify a couple of small leaks in the flashing around the ceiling by testing with a hose. The flashing needed to be replaced so he replaced and caulked it. We checked it again the next day and the leak was gone.
He inspected the open spaces for any residual moisture and he decided to close up the wall rather than replace all of the sheet rock.  He added some insulation to the ceiling of the bay window and replaced the drywall he had removed originally. When my wife asked if he was going to take out the rest of the wall out, he said ?no?.  I looked inside the open wall area and I agree the rest of it didn?t necessarily need to be replaced.  He left for the day, and I noticed that the drywall that he replaced was not cut with as much precision as I have seen others perform in the past; there were large gaps between the pieces.  I spoke with the Operations Manager to discuss the work, including the fact that the craftsman did not intend to replace the other 2/3 of the wall as was quoted.  He assured me that the end state would look better than new.   
The wall was then taped, sanded, and prepared for painting. The craftsman began painting the room.  He couldn't finish the job by the end of the third day on the 15 February 2013. He had to return on the 19th and 20th to finish the job (the 18th was a holiday).  I had to take two days of personal time to accommodate this schedule slip so I wasn?t exactly thrilled but I adjusted to the delay. 
A day or two after the job was completed the Suncrest's President called.  My wife spoke with him and told him that the work looked good.  
She did, however say she was concerned that only 1/3 of the wall had been taken out and replaced even though he and his Operations Manager stated that it would all be taken out and replaced (as did the estimate), just to be safe.  
She mentioned to him that she was disappointed that she had been told two different things i.e. what was going to happen and then what actually happened.  
A little emotion entered into the conversation at this point and the President defensively offered to tear out the wall; to refund some of our money for drywall; but then would charge for ?an extra two day?s worth of work to find the leak?; which was only ½ day in reality; I know because I was there to help the Craftsman, and besides it was already included in the estimate.  
In the end, he asked when we were going to pay the remaining balance (probably the actual reason for his call). He was surprised to hear that the check had already been given to his craftsman at the end of the job just as he had requested. He apparently thought we were holding the check back.        
To be honest I am glad that the Craftsman didn?t have to do all of the work they quoted because I could not be home with them any longer than I was - this job was under-resourced and took too long. 
We had far too many disconnects between my wife, the president, the operations manager, and the schedule.
Why? You might ask. Because the boss never came to the jobsite to make sure that actual quoted work was being done.  When asked about it he responded with "don't worry this is our best man" and while that might be true - and his best man did a good job - the company did not communicate well.
They need to work on their communication with the customer, be consistent with keeping appointments - if you say I will come by or call then do it.
In the end don?t get defensive with the customer when asked about parts of the job that don?t seem consistent with the quote.  Jobs will change - if the work that needs to be done changes let the customer know.
The bottom line: 
The work Suncrest Builders did in our home does look great.
Still no matter how good it looks - the juice may not be worth the squeeze.
The fact that we paid 50% of the quoted price two weeks in advance to get on their schedule and we received one business day notice to slip a week; that they quoted 3 days to complete the work but took 5 days to actually get less work done and cost me two days of unplanned leave; really makes it hard for me to consider using their services in the future.
