Our Testimonials

I truly love my house now and I highly recommend VP Construction …”

“I truly love my house now and I highly recommend VP Construction to anyone considering a home renovation.”

I’ve lived in my Arlington VA home for 25 years and have been through two renovations, with very different experiences. The first renovation involved improvements to the main level of my house and ran over budget and took twice as long as expected. In the Spring of 2014, I contracted with VP Construction for an extensive renovation including a complete remodel of my kitchen, second floor of my house including 2 new bedrooms and a bathroom along with the addition of a third level rec room.

I interviewed several contractors and selected VP Construction because they were priced better than any of the other contractors and I knew they did HIGH-QUALITY work from projects they had completed in my neighborhood. They managed the entire design/ build process so I didn’t have the added cost of an architect.VP Construction completed the project on time and on the budget. As with any large project, there were a couple changes in the middle of the project and they were responsive to those and found creative solutions to meet my budget. Their team and their subcontractors were always professional and pleasant to work with. They were working every day until the project was completed. It’s been over a year now since the construction was completed and I’m very pleased with the quality of their work. 

Tim and Rob were VERY PATIENT with us”

We were wary about the contract process, but Tim and Rob were VERY PATIENT with us. They met with us multiple times and responded to all of our questions and concerns.

One of my biggest fears was how VP would respond when a problem arose because I knew something would come up with such a big project. There have only been some minor bumps, but each time Tim & Rob were quick to address them without any hassle or push-back.It has helped tremendously with PEACE & MIND.

During the entire process, from contract negotiations to window installation to siding. Tim and Rob have patiently answered our questions, given us guidance and allayed concerns. So far it has not been the headache I thought it would be!

When we first begin discussing this renovation, we were not convinced that we would actually move forward with it. It seemed like a huge, overwhelming, undertaking. It took us months to decide to go ahead, but VP remained patient and met with us time and again to talk it through. Now that we are in the middle of it, I’m happy to say that their patience and willing communication with us has NOT changed. They immediately answer our questions, handle any issues that arise. and let us know what “steps” are coming up in the next process. SO FAR, SO GOOD!

VP is willing to work with you to create the space you want by remaining flexible and open-minded. They aren’t afraid to throw ideas your way and let you know when something may not work well. They even cut some of our costs after the contract was signed when they figured out that we didn’t need something that had been included. When does that happen?

We are VERY HAPPY with the work that is done in our home. “

Robert and Tim are very responsive and flexible in terms of meeting our needs. Most important of all, they are always solution-oriented. In every construction, one can always expect at least one unexpected thing. Rob and his team not only figured out a solution but also ensured the solution won’t drive up our budget. Their Interior Operations Manager Doug worked with us, was very detail oriented and gave us honest advice. We are  VERY HAPPY with the work that is done in our home.

HELPING OUT LIKE A GOOD NEIGHBOUR NOT A CONTRACTOR.”

For our Second Floor Addition on our brick Arlington rambler, we interviewed several well-known Arlington builders, ultimately selecting VP. From the beginning of the process, the attentiveness and knowledge of Tim and Rob were evident, and we were immediately confident that they could navigate usthrough the unfamiliar and the inherently stressful renovation process.They made themselves available at our convenience and let us work on our timeline without pressure.

Before the renovation even started, they saved our Thanksgiving by installing a used oven in our old kitchen when our existing one died before the end of the holiday.While they did not have to do this – given it was outside the scope of our still-unsigned contract, it was clear they genuinely cared about our family and we were HELPING OUT LIKE A GOOD NEIGHBOUR NOT A CONTRACTOR.

Heading into the design and permitting process, they demonstrated flexibility and grace under pressure, working with us to get the plans perfect to our needs and desires and even navigating some unexpected minor changes required by the country.

When demolition and construction started, our neighbors took note of their respectfulness and diligence and the fact their employees worked long and hard to get the project going – even on the weekend. As we had moved into a temporary apartment – with a lease that would necessarily expire in four months, completing the project on schedule was a top priority. Even though we threw in an unexpected basement renovation, we moved in on time and on the budget. WE NOW HAVE A BEAUTIFUL HOUSE THAT IS THE ENVY OF THE NEIGHBOURHOOD. We’ve recommended VP to many friends who are interested in renovating and will continue to do so.

Rob and Tim are absolutely amazing contractors to work with.”

Rob and Tim are absolutely amazing contractors to work with. Having worked with other contractors on various projects. I appreciate their FORTHRIGHTNESS, CANDOR AND WORK ETHIC, as well as a how quickly they respond to communication.

THEY WORK EXTREMELY WELL TOGETHER and understand the nature and scope of each job. While they are busy on numerous jobs at any one time, you will always feel the personal connection.Their crews, many of whom have been with the company for over a decade, are very efficient to do a wonderful job while keeping the site very clean. Overall, I’ve had a great experience working with Rob and Tim and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM.

The project was completed in just under 4 months- Amazing! “

First I want to say is the POPUP KINGS ( Rob and Tim )  made the new second-floor project along with a completely new main level renovation to include kitchen an exciting and professional experience. There are many unknowns that came up with demolition and construction and each issue was addressed and never a “nickel and dime” scenario.

We were always told, “this is part of our responsibility and no problem!”  Rob and Time have so much knowledge in all phase of construction, bank loan requirements and dealing with the County to get our project approved. The project was completed in just under 4 months – Amazing!

“VP Builds provided EXCELLENT and TIMELY SERVICE..”

VP Builds provided EXCELLENT and TIMELY SERVICE for our top floor addition. Tim and Rob were personally involved in every step of the process, including ongoing suggestions and ideas on the overall design of the addition. The work was done quickly and efficiently, without ever compromising their high level of service and product. We are ecstatic about our third level addition and have referred VP Builds to many of our friends.

WE LOVE OUR NEW HOME.”

WE LOVE OUR NEW HOME. Tim/Rob were available 7 days a week and always worked through each phase with onsite communication. Our project involved taking our existing home and adding a second floor along with a living space attic. When they were finished we had a magnificent “New Home” with Gourmet Kitchen. All brick and stone exterior with beautiful trim work without interior.

GREAT WORKING WITH THESE GUYS!”

My family was VERY HAPPY to have contracted VP Construction, LLC for our kitchen and first-floor renovation of our Arlington townhome. We have several positive reviews from close friends and neighbors, and from the first appointment, they were a super crew to have found.

Tim and Rob met with me to solidify my plans for the space, and added their own ideas and expertise into the mix.

They had a good connection with a designer, who helped us come to a final design. They were VERY PATIENT and UNDERSTANDING in what it was that we wanted done – and what was most important to us and what was not. The design process was quick and easy! Tim made sure we stayed on budget with the design we wanted.

After work was underway, Rob and his team were always available and helpful. Any questions that we had about work being done were addressed, and small ( to even some large ) changes were no problem. Rob responded to texts even when he was away on vacation in order to make sure that we felt “right” about the work being done! The crews came in quickly and did work fast – flooring laid, walls constructed, plumbing and electricity hookups – everything. Rob even came in and completed item on the final punch list himself. Even three months after completion, he is willing to give us an ADVICE!

We are ultimately VERY HAPPY with the renovation that VP Construction provided. My Family spends about 90% of our working hours in the new space and can’t believe how life changing the final product has been! Our neighbors have been very curious to see the changes, and even now one has their renovation set to begin next month with Tim and Rob! Another neighbor is soon to follow.

GREAT WORKING WITH THESE GUYS!

They came to our house and gave us wonderful ideas.”

Rob & Tim responded to my initial email request regarding our project in 24 HOURS. They came to our house and gave us wonderful ideas.
We had already met with 5 other contractors and they were the easiest to walk with and the only ones who thought about our future plans for our house.They showed us what we could have and what would work best with our family. We began the process of design and permits. Tim gave me his cell number and if I needed anything just to text him.

Through our struggles with the country, he responded momentarily to each concern, worry and stupid questions we had. When I didn’t understand a drawing he got back to me with a knowledgeable explanation. Rob and Tim both knew we had a family and we just needed a little more usable space. They designed our room and porch based exactly on that. We are able to head into our BZA hearing we are prepared and we cannot wait to enjoy the space.

WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND VP BUILDS.”

WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND VP BUILDS. They added a two story addition to our existing home and could not be happier. Quality, Modern Craftsmanship and most important are the COMMUNICATION AND SERVICE provided by Tim and Rob. They are very communicative throughout the process and overall you can tell they want the customer to be happy and at the end have a finished project they are proud of. We recommend VP Builds to everyone that asks about our renovation.

We had a great experience with VP Builds.”

“We had a great experience with VP Builds. They were responsive and attentive to our building needs right from the start.”

We interviewed several companies before deciding to go with VP Builds. for our large home renovation in part because of their highly collaborative approach to their working relationship with us. They took our ideas seriously and provided expert feedback if we had ideas that were not workable or would increase our costs excessively. They are clearly experienced with all phases of construction and renovation from permitting to design to construction and inspection.

WE WERE THRILLED WITH THE QUALITY OF THE FINISHED RENOVATION, and of course relieved that the project was completed within our budget and within the predicted time frame.

We will work with VP Builds again,and have referred numerous friends to them already – many of whom are now clients of theirs.

I was VERY HAPPY with their guidance..”

We embarked a major renovation of our home but encountered issues created by Arlington County. The County had promised to issue our building permit but then abruptly refused to do so without an environmental land disturbance study. Tim and Rob from VPstepped right in to get this issue resolved quickly.

I was VERY HAPPY with their guidance navigating the complexities of our local government. IT IS CLEAR THEY HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE DEALING WITH DIFFICULT PROJECTS which saved me from a lot of headaches.
