Constraction reviews in Falls Church, Virginia

Carlos is a true pleasure. He is steady in his work and employees a high level of professional craftsmanship that results in a beautiful product where it is quickly completed. Carlos framed my deck which is truly plumb, level and square..Every framing member was properly crowned, placed, and fastened. Watching him work made it obvious to me that he was a pro and had performed this kind of work often. In addition to his workmanship, the job site is kept tidy. He was both respectful to me and my property. I can't say enough positive things about him. I'm typically reluctant to hire contractors, but I have no reservation with him or this company. I look forward to contracting him again to have my kitchen replaced.

Carlos Villagrez has been outstanding - he installed an exterior door for me. Carlos has done handyman types of many jobs for me over a year such as installing window shutters, installing mirrors, painting, installing shelves, etc. Carlos is always on time, very accurate, reasonable, very professional, and pleasant to work with. He is prompt and will tell you upfront how much a task will cost and how long it will take to complete it.

My husband and I just bought a new home and are blessed that we found Carlos Villagrez to help us with some renovation work! We were both immediately impressed by his professionalism, extensive experience, attention to detail, on-time, and excellent quality work. As an example, there was a very large structure underneath a window that was too big for a window seat and custom built to match surrounding bookcases. We asked Carlos to remove this so we could slide in a sofa. After opening the structure, he was able to educate us on the structural components and options for a strong rebuild. The end result is a smaller custom window seat that fit the space better and allows for a sofa to sit back. In addition to the construction, he ensured it was finished to look just like the bookcases - very impressive high end job! Thanks, Carlos for helping us transform our new house!! We’ll definitely be calling you to help with more projects - and have already recommended you to our parents. Jenny and Zack

Carlos was great. He remodeled our powder room (installed new sink and vanity; painting; caulking) and hung several lights around the house. He was timely, professional and great value. We will definitely use him again for other projects at our house.

My wife and I are pleased to provide this Google review praising the work of Remake/Remodel and its owner, Carlos. A water valve broke in our basement closet recently and caused some damage. We called Carlos, a local carpenter, for an estimate of repairs (insulation, drywall, carpet pad replacement, some carpentry, and painting) because of complimentary reviews he received elsewhere. Carlos responded immediately, evaluated the work, and completed it on time and at a cost well below that estimated by other carpenters. He worked very hard for a flat rate of $70/hr and the closet was restored to its original condition. He was very easy to work with, in good humor, spoke good English (he's from Guatemala, originally), and cleaned up carefully after each day of work.

I was really lucky to find Remake/Remodel on an internet search for a handyman. Carlos Villagrez, the company owner, is highly skilled and an excellent craftsman! In addition, he is friendly and honest. Carlos communicates well and will complete your job in a timely manner. He will ensure that you are satisfied with the job upon completion. Carlos is highly recommended and I will continue to use him for my maintenance and home improvement needs.

Carlos's carpentry and painting work is excellent. He did some built-in floor to ceiling bookshelves in our living room - these are furniture grade shelves. His estimate of the cost and time for building the bookshelves were accurate. In fact, the project ended up costing less than he projected. On a personal level, he is very courteous, punctual, and left the work site very tidy/neat at the end of each day during the project. He will be coming back to do more work at our house. Don't hesitate to hire Carlos/Remake Remodel - topnotch.

Carlos built us beautiful built-in bookshelves with cabinet storage. He worked with us on the design - giving us his professional opinions while listening to what we envisioned. He completed the project within the estimated cost and timeframe. We have gotten so many compliments on the shelves and our room feels complete!

I am very pleased to have had the good fortune to discover Carlos Villagres. I had two relatively small jobs to accomplish, installing a second stair railing and grab bars for my basement staircase and installing a new doorbell for my front door. It was very frustrating trying to find someone who is willing to do these smallish home maintenance jobs, but Carlos responded promptly and positively to my requests. No “I‘ll get back to you…”
Carlos did a beautiful job for me on both counts, and I am very grateful to him for his honesty and expertise.

Carlos was extremely responsive, clear with expectations and timeline of work, and easy to work with! We had trouble finding someone that could install pocket door hardware, but Carlos showed up within a week of calling and completed the job without any issues! Grateful for his quick help, and would definitely call him again for home projects

Carlos is a highly skilled and excellent craftsman! He made us an absolutely gorgeous mudroom to replace a large old closet. It was built with complete precision, care and thoughtfulness. He incorporated our ideas seamlessly into his many years of experience and expertise. Carlos is detail oriented, dependable, honest and hardworking. It was a pleasure having him at our home and a delight to see the transformation he made happen.

I had some rotten wood trim (water damage and carpenter bees) and paint peeling from some incorrectly repaired window frames which needed fixing. Carlos did an excellent job in repairing and painting all the damaged areas. Great attention to detail and quality work that is hard to find now. I will definitely be using him again. Thanks Carlos!

I have hired Remake / Remodel for many projects large and small over the past three years. This included the installation of a wall of cabinets and bookshelves for my library. Carlos Villagrez is an excellent carpenter. We collaborated on the design and he had many practical ideas from his long experience. More recently Carlos completely renovated a bathroom. This included demolition, reconstruction of floor and walls, moving plumbing to accommodate the redesign, installation of wall and floor tiles, finish carpentry, installation of all fixtures, and painting. Carlos is a consummate professional and a joy to work with. I heartily recommend him for your next house project.

Carlos Villagrez of Remake/Remodel did an excellent job in the work he performed in two of our bathrooms. He removed and replaced wall mirrors and lighting fixtures, installed a new towel bar, shower rod, and robe hook, replaced a medicine cabinet mirror, did drywall repair, and painted both bathrooms. Carlos responded quickly to our request for assistance. He visited our home to see the bathrooms and made some helpful suggestions to address our needs. After his visit, he provided us with an estimate the same day. He then scheduled the dates for this work, arrived on time, and completed the project as promised. He disposed of the items replaced and carefully cleaned up his work area. We are very pleased with his efforts and recommend him highly.

Carlos did a fantastic job on two built-ins for my sons’ rooms and we will use him again soon for another built in. He is incredibly professional and diligent in his work and lovely to be around. Could not recommend him more, and will continue to use him for all the projects in our home!

I was referred to Carlos by a friend of mine who had hired him for custom built-ins and painting. Carlos is phenomenal. He’s already completed 3 projects at our home with more on the way (pic is of a custom built in that had to accommodate odd ceiling angles). It’s truly remarkable what he can do. You speak with him for 5min on Monday morning and in days or weeks, he creates exactly what you want. Talented, kind, and professional. I cannot recommend Carlos enough.

Carlos is a perfectionist at very reasonable prices. His work is outstanding and he is conscientious about ensuring he does first rate projects. With Carlos you are getting a top-quality remodeling person without spending for the "middle man" general contractor or project manager. Highly recommend Carlos.

Carlos did a wonderful job for us. He is an outstanding cabinet maker. I would highly recommend him. We asked him to remake and remodel existing bookcases and cabinets to accommodate a 77 inch TV. The original cabinets were put in place about 25 years ago and could only accommodate a small, yet deep TV. He did a wonderful job integrating the new cabinetry with the old. He also was very creative and suggested ways to make the new cabinetry look like it had always been there. He was prompt and responsive. He showed up every day at around 8 AM and left in the late afternoon. He completed his work in five days. His prices were extraordinarily reasonable. He has a great sense of pride in his work. People like Carlos are very hard to find.

Carlos is the BEST. He came highly recommended from a friend of mine. She told me that’s he’s in demand but that he’s worth the wait. She was right! Carlos repainted and completely repaired our kitchen cabinets as well as a bunch of other things in our new house. The cabinets look absolutely stunning. The once dated kitchen is now the most beautiful part of our home thanks to Carlos. He has so many skills, he can do basically anything! Everything is done meticulously, and he has a really good sense of what will look good and what will not. He is an artist and we will be lifelong customers of his. We worked with many contractors these past two months and no one came close to Carlos’ level of professionalism and skill. And another perk, he leaves everything perfectly clean during his whole process which isn’t necessarily the norm. I almost felt hesitant about writing this review because I want to keep Carlos a secret so he’s not too busy for us in the future. He’s the best!

Update: Carlos put up box and chair molding and painted my bedroom. The results are absolutely stunning. As always, we were very pleased with Carlos’ work and efficiency.

Carlos is a genius carpenter!! He is honest, efficient and affordable. What more can you ask for? I love the bookshelves he made for me. Excited to have my home library! Thanks Carlos for making this dream come true!

Carlos did an excellent job on our glass shower door install. We are so happy with how it turned out. He was respectful of our home and we look forward to using Remake/Remodel for our future home improvements!
