General Contractor reviews in Alexandria, Virginia

We had Moore Construction add a large addition to our home, as well as provide some interior renovations in 2022/2023. We had a great experience with the Moore Construction Team from design through construction and close-out. Our PM Rachel provided some fantastic designs to us, including a design that was different than the others and ended up being our favorite layout and what we ultimately selected!

The Moore Construction team was excellent communicators with us throughout both design and construction. Their project superintendent Marco was always very transparent with us when issues and change orders came up. We were fortunate to have very few change orders on our project, and we found their pricing generally pretty fair and reasonable.

As construction moved along, the Moore Construction team really helped us out by offering some modifications and suggestions on altering the design (including going from a kitchen peninsula jump-up bar to just one flat slab which we absolutely love as it gives our house an even more open feel).

The construction crew were great to work with and be around as we lived through about two months of construction before moving out. They did a great job communicating their needs early and we rarely felt like we were making last-second, rushed decisions or adjustments to our lives. They were also very understanding and kept communication open as we got closer to our move-in date and did everything they had to in order for us to move back in.

In summary, we cannot recommend Moore Construction enough. They were a great company to work with and we can't speak highly enough about their staff. Thank you Rachel, Marco, Nate, Jennifer and the entire Moore Construction Group for giving us a home that we love.

We are so grateful to have found Moore Construction Group! From start to finish, the team was incredibly professional and collaborative. Cole and colleagues on the design side knew exactly what we were trying to achieve and produced ideas that never even occured to us. Marco, our project manager, was incredible, with high standards for his team's work and constant communication that put us at ease. Our remodeled home is outstanding - and on time! Thank you Moore Construction Group!

My husband and I used Moore Construction for a major renovation of our house in Alexandria. We added a master suite, reconfigured the downstairs, and replaced the front and back porches. Rebekah and Rachel did a great job with the design, and Marco and his crew were fabulous. They were so professional and courteous and did superb job. Moore has its own crews, so we never had to wait for the next phase of work to begin. Rachel helped me shop for carpet, paint colors, bathroom vanity, etc. -- all things I hate to do -- and the office manager checked on us frequently to make sure we were satisfied.

We also added an elevator so that we can age in place. Moore worked with the manufacturer to install one that we are already using. (Aging in place came sooner than we expected!) Moore went above and beyond expectations to make this work as the manufacturer was, frankly, very difficult.

I highly recommend the Moore Construction Group to anyone looking to have work done in their home.

I cannot rave enough about Moore Construction Group. We did two home addition projects with them. The first was a living space with master en suite. We loved working with them so much that we hired them again two years later for a kitchen addition off of the other side of the house. They provide excellent communication, transparency, polished designs (thanks, Rebekah and Rachel!), detailed craftsmanship and excellent sub-contractors (like Daniel!). They clean up after every work day and made living through a construction zone with two small children manageable. Most importantly, they stand by their work. Marco is truly a hero and a saint -- he saved us so much time and money by coming up with solutions to the problems that our 1940s home confronted them with. He truly puts his heart into his projects and wants his clients thrilled with the end results... and we were!
If you have a reno project, look no further than Moore Construction!!

I cannot say enough about the great experience we had with Moore Construction Group; we actually used them twice. Our project was large enough that we split it into two, with about a six month gap in between. We absolutely would use them again. We have a 98-year-old home that has seen its share of poorly completed repairs and renovations over the decades. Nate, Rachel, and Marco worked hard to help us complete back-permitting, multiple repairs/remediation, as well as a nearly-whole-home renovation. The end result is even better than we could have imagined.
There are three main reasons to use Moore Construction Group. First, everything will be permitted and inspected, giving homeowners peace of mind. They are well known to the city of Alexandria and will do everything up to code, with inspections passed quickly. Second, Rachel and Marco listen, are really responsive, and will give homeowners advice that allows the project to become even more than what the homeowners were expecting. Rachel’s layout sense and Marco’s collaboration with homeowners allows the project to move forward while also improving safety, flow and sense of space. Especially when working with old homes, this is priceless. The collaboration extends to working with small businesses preferred by the homeowner, allowing the space to be more personalized. The third reason to use them is they will not only manage budget (and help homeowners stick to it), but also their pricing is much more affordable than multiple other contractors in the area. Therefore homeowners get a fantastic collaboration, high quality work, and a good price.
Things they were able to recommend along the way that made the project such a success: recognizing that if the duct work was re-routed, we could increase the ceiling height in the kitchen by nearly a foot; feathering out a wall to allow the HVAC ducts to run in a location that improved flow and layout in one of the bathrooms; built-in layout; structural repair recommendations allowing the porches to be more stable; insulation recommendations and installation additions which have made a world of difference in this old house.

We were highly pleased with their excellent customer service and craftsmanship....our "new" bathroom looks so great!! We weren't quite sure what to do in an area and their recommendations weren't anything we could've imagined on our own and it turned out so perfect!! Hoping to be able to do more renovations in the future and will definitely reach out to them first. :)

Great job all around! From the professionalism to the final product... I would definitely use Michelle and Rusty again!

Not only does Marvin do top-notch work, but he's also very professional, responsive, reliable, an excellent communicator, and very reasonably priced. That is why it's the second time I've hired him for a major job at my house. I would have zero hesitations referring him to my friends and family.

Our first venture into a home remodel project was so easy with the help and guidance of Michele and Rusty. They were very professional, and on time and on budget! And clean!
5 star service and work by the whole team!
Thanks for everything!

Michelle, Rusty and Francisco are an absolute pleasure to work with. In the past few months they have done a couple of projects for us. Most recently they have come out to install a range hood in the kitchen which is not an easy task! They have done a beautiful job. We love it! They are incredibly professional, very detail orientated and friendly. We highly recommend them and will definitely use them again for future work.

This is the second time we have used M + M Contracting Solutions. The first time was for an outdoor pillar project, and it turned out wonderful. This time (our second time) was for a master bathroom conversion from tub to shower project and we were not disappointed.

We are absolutely thrilled with both projects they have done for us.

Our friends have used cheaper options and they have had a lot of issues with the results, and we have had ZERO issues with M&M.

M&M is well worth the money and are definitely worth the results that they produce.

Michelle, Rusty and Francisco did a great job for us with a pretty quick bathroom fix up. I wanted to keep costs low and they helped me figure out how to source the materials needed. They were polite and professional, and Michelle provided outstanding email updates to keep me up to date on the project. We'll for sure be using them for whatever project comes up next, and would definitely recommend them to anyone else.

We worked with Michelle and Rusty's team for a complete bathroom remodel. They made the experience very easy. Michelle's communication was great and Troy and Gabe, who were onsite daily, were wonderful and very respectful of our home. We are so impressed with the quality of work, our bathroom looks beautiful. We highlighy recommend M&M to anyone undergoing a renovation project. You won't be dissapointed. We are already saving for our next project with them! Thanks M&M team! -Laura and Brandon

From the time I got in touch with Michelle and Rusty about a master bath remodel, I was impressed with their professionalism and integrity. They are on top of their game when it comes to technical knowledge, expertise, communication and implementation. There was always clear communication about the status of the project and the crew (Troy and Bryan) were always on time and so respectful of our home. After completing the remodel within the timeline and budget, I hired them for two additional projects. The wood on my front porch was rotten and everything was outdated. Troy, Rusty and Bryan did an amazing job replacing my porch columns, railings, gutter and downspouts, recessed lights, smart doorbell and painting. They also worked tirelessly installing hardwood floors in four bedrooms and closets. I have no reservations giving MMCS my highest recommendation. I am confident you cannot go wrong hiring them for your project.

We recently completed a beautiful kitchen and bathroom renovation with M&M Contracting Solutions, and Michelle and Rusty's team were by far the best part of our entire project. They handled every challenge thrown at them with professionalism and found solutions where others may have thrown up their hands and said 'enough.' Some of the challenges we encountered included a rat infestation, major water damage that created a dangerous hole in the floor, mold damage and remediation, electrical issues hidden behind poorly framed walls discovered after the remediation, uneven floors and walls, mismeasurements by third party vendors, nearly every piece of cabinetry and most appliances delivered damaged and had to be re-ordered (sometimes twice), multiple items lost at warehouses in transit, other supply chain issues in getting materials... basically, you name it, it happened and M&M found ways to make it all work regardless. The quality of their workmanship is great, everyone on their team was kind and skilled, and we are so, so happy with the final results. We couldn't have asked for a better partner in navigating this project in our older, problem-laden home.

We completed a service for Michelle and handled the project professionally from start to finish.

Unfortunately, the communication after the service was extremely poor. Our phone calls and emails were not returned, and on a few occasions the phone was answered and disconnected without any discussion. This created a very negative and frustrating experience for our company.

Clear communication and mutual respect are very important in any business relationship. Sadly, that was missing in this case.

If you want an actual description of how awful this company is check out reviews for "construxure," guessing they changed their name since all they had were accurate 1 star reviews.

Great experience having Alward put in a new vanity and painting. They were very helpful in ensuring the vanity would work in an odd space, and then getting the work done quickly. Everyone from the company was punctual, friendly, and lovely to work with and we are so pleased with the total new look of the bathroom.

Alward Construction Corporation is the contractor for several Home Depot stores in the Northern Virginia area, specializing in kitchen and bath renovations. When I ordered my cabinets from Home Depot, my designer suggested using Alward to install them. I’m certainly glad I did since they work seamlessly with Home Depot. This became important when I needed a couple of cabinet doors replaced due to defects. Alward and my HD designer got replacements in no time, thereby keeping the project on track.

Since I was not living in the house, It certainly helped that I was assigned a project manager who checked in with me daily to give updates and receive my feedback. But as with most construction projects, not everything went to plan. However, Alward was always willing to work toward solutions until I was satisfied. The head contractor makes customer service a priority.

If you plan to order kitchen or bath cabinets from Home Depot, I strongly urge you to consider using Alward as your contractor. They have the experience and professionalism to ensure a finished project that will meet all your expectations. I’m thrilled with my new kitchen. It’s beautiful and efficient, making meal preparation a pleasure. Thank you Alward and Home Depot.

Good

Great company! Highly recommend.
