Constraction reviews in Sterling, Virginia

Wow....these guys are amazing. I highly recommend Potomac
Stonecare. My foyer and kitchen countertops look like new even tho they are 15 years old.

Steve did a fantastic job bringing the foyer marble and, master bath back to life. We highly recommend his services!

I used Potomac Stonecare to clean my office floors when I was replacing my office furniture. Steve did an amazing job cleaning all of the marks and scuffs off of the tile floor. My office now looks like I replaced my flooring - it looks like new. Potomac Stonecare and Steve were extremely professional, thorough and responsive. I highly recommend this business.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Steve, his team and Potomac Stone! This is the second project they have done for me. The first was to repair a chemical burn on my marble vanity and this project, was a deep clean and seal of our travertine stone shower. It included diamond honing, impregnating sealer, caulk and a host of other things. My shower looks brand new and I could not be more satisfied. Stone surfaces love Steve and his team! They do exceptional work and I will never use anyone else.

Steve came out on a Sunday to repair an etch mark in our marble bathroom floor. He did a fantastic job, was very professional, and offered a very reasonable price. Would recommend Potomac Stonecare to anyone needing a repair job!

I can't say enough great things about Steve and the professionals at Potomac Stone Care. I had damaged the surface of my natural stone floor with some cleaning products. Potomac Stone Care did a beautiful job resurfacing and polishing the stone. They were able to fit me into their busy schedules in no time at all, and offered more competitive prices than other companies in the DC area. Great company, great people.

I was very glad I used Potomac Stonecare to clean my two types of marble in my kitchen (honed marble) and my bathroom (tumbled marble). Also, we had a large stain on a marble countertop and another on a Terrazzo floor. Normally we are very wary of getting work done on the house (since we've had some bad experiences in the past). However, my husband felt immediately that Steve (the owner) understood the intricacies of different types of marble well so we felt comfortable. We proceeded after a quote (via photo on cell phone). First I was impressed with how punctual Steve and his assistant, Edgar were and very pleasant, too. The result: my floors look great and they also got the 2 stains out! Thanks a million! I will definitely call you next time!

Steve has been taking care of our counters for the last few years and we are always amazed at his work and dedication to doing the best job possible. This counter was 10 years old and heavily used with lots of stains and discoloration. Steve and his skilled team brought it back to life, looks brand new!! We couldn’t recommend him enough.

Northwood Construction, Inc. came to our rescue after a triple-botched shower replacement left us with water damage and a lovely hole in our laundry room ceiling before COVID shutdown. After researching home remodelers through Checkbook and other sources, we carefully selected Northwood to completely remodel our large master bathroom. We quickly grew to trust Bob and Whitney during the design and selection phase and knew that waiting for their crew to start work was the right choice. They provided us with a detailed scope of work broken out by phase and by trade partners’ work, detailed layout plans showing demolition, build out, electrical, plumbing, and painting plans. Bathrooms require an overwhelming number of bits and pieces; Whitney, Bob, and my husband and I went to plumbing, lighting, granite, and tiling suppliers. Whitney was always prompt, professional, organized, and guided us through the selection process. I overwhelmed easily and she was reassuring and able to describe the different end “look and feel” of each choice. Each of their subcontractors come to a walk through to review what they need to do and verify that the work can be done as planned. We had a steam shower installed, so we had some special considerations for plumbing, tiling, and glass surround. During the project, we used CoConstruct online to help with tracking progress, selections, change orders, finances, and questions/messages. Financials are dealt with professionally and are predictable based on milestones. Our master bath is a huge improvement over the original and we are extremely happy we chose Northwood Construction.

Northwood just helped us with a big upstairs remodel where we had our horrible stipple ceilings removed, replastered, and painted; complete recarpeting; repainted hallway, 3 bedrooms, hallway/foyer, and master closet repainted; as well as carpentry to remove a platform in our master bedroom, removed fittings in master closet and updated it with lighting and outlets. It was a huge effort on our part to move everything and set up a bedroom on the main level during the project. We worked with Whitney again and Matt was our Lead Carpenter acting as the general contractor. Matt’s always courteous, helpful, and professional in both manner and skill; he kept us informed of his expected arrival time and any variations in timeline. He kept us informed of the painting crew’s activities and schedule. We did have an issue with some water leakage into our dining room, and the repair work was just completed for us without complaint and in a very reasonable period. All went well and our upstairs looks great thanks to Northwood.

Unless you want a big job done don't bother with these guys.

Northwood Construction is simply top-notch. We have used them for new construction as well as major renovations and they always hit the mark with A+++. Not only are they completely competent, but they are really nice folks.

Bob had me at Hello. I find him to be a consummate professional with an excellent team of people working for him. I interviewed a few others just for due diligence but ultimately hired him and his team to do a two story bump out and two bathroom overhaul on our home. Their work was high caliber, they were courteous, diligent, finished on time. I liked their work so much I had them come out a year later to do a major kitchen, eat in area remodel. Again, their work was excellent.

I recently had a kitchen, and three bathrooms renovated by Northwood. I really cannot say enough good things about them. It was really the first time I hired a general contractor and expected top quality craftsmanship, and that is exactly what I got. Additionally, I would say that renovation is quite a bit different from new construction. It really takes a different skill level to come in and rip out and upgrade a home without destroying it, and also being sensitive to the fact that you are living in the construction site. Northwood has superb communication skills, and is always attentive to any concern you voice. This is exactly the attitude you need on the part of the contractor because it can be an unsettling experience if you hire the wrong person for this type of work. Basically, don't hire a contractor you can't live with, literally, and Northwood is a company I can trust.

Northwood Construction recently added a Family Room on to my house. The entire process was seamless, from the first visit by Bob to discuss the plans and take measurements, to the estimate process and construction schedule. Bob kept in constant contact with me and once Don was on-site there was daily communication. Northwood Construction did an outstanding job....finishing on-time and on budget! I would highly recommend Northwood Construction!

We've had Northwood handle three projects for us now - our kitchen, family room and now a bathroom. They may not be the lowest bidder on any job, but keep in mind that you get what you pay for. They use high quality materials, and their workmanship and attention to detail are meticulous. We have never had a problem with any of their work, even years after the fact! We also trust them in our home, and have never felt that we needed to remain on site to monitor them. They also choose subcontractors who are up to their standards, and provide equally excellent work. We have no hesitation about recommending Northwood Construction.

We highly recommend Northwood for your next project. Northwood just finished the third project for us and we are so happy with their work. Everyone on the Northwood team is easy to work with and they all have an eye for the details. Communication with them is streamlined with their on-line project management/communication tool, and they always respond to questions/concerns promptly. Every project has been finished on time and the work is outstanding. They are courteous, professional and respectful of being in your home. Thanks Bob, Don, Dan, Mark and Glenn for the outstanding service and for always treating our home like it's your own!

We’ve found that Northwood Construction is not “your average construction” company. Here’s why:

After about 15 years of weather, the four columns on the front of our house badly needed to be replaced. We absolutely hate the prospect of dealing with construction companies and procrastinated to the point that the columns were about ready to collapse. We spent months talking to (and rejecting) various highly-rated construction firms – and then we found Northwood Construction – and we are extremely pleased with both the work and the process.

Bob Benedict patiently worked with us to get the exact look we wanted. We were impressed that Bob spent as much time as he did to get the exact look and “low-maintenance” results we wanted. He provided design recommendations and drawings that let us select exactly the style we wanted and he precisely matched the existing paint color of the porch.

Don and Chris started and finished all work exactly as they said they would, cleaned up the work site better than it was when work began, and the final price was exactly the price quoted (which we already knew was a good, competitive price). We felt that everyone at Northwood put us first in designing, scheduling, and completing the work – and we could not be happier.

We’re so impressed with Northwood that we want them to convert our carport into a garage – a project we’ve put off for years. We look forward to working with Bob and the crew to finalize the garage design (I never thought I’d ever say that about a construction company)!

Five stars doesn't cut it honestly, they deserve much more! The quality of their work is amazing and their staff is awesome to work with. I've photographed their projects for years and we finally had the opportunity to hire them to renovate our bathrooms. I couldn't be happier with the result! They were on top of all of my requests, they had a schedule and stuck with it and they were very knowledgeable and communicative throughout the entire process. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for construction work!

We interviewed 6 different contractors to renovate our basement for aging in place, designated as an ALU (Accessory Living Unit) in Fairfax county.

We chose the Northwood construction, Inc. Their fee was reasonable, not the lowest nor the highest.

We did not have to pay up to 10K for the designer fees as in other contractors' proposal. Tran, the Northwood designer, worked fast and diligently with all the drawings,dimensions,selections of cabinets,counter top,tiles,etc.
We texted Tran very late in the evening or weekend with our concerns, questions. She always replied right away. To her, client's satisfaction is very important. Thumb up for her work.

Charlie, the Northwood main staff for my basement project, is a conscientious, knowledgeable and hard worker. He meticulously put in all the needed wood blockings during the framing of the bathroom walls so he could install all the grab bars and the wall hung shower seat. So, as we get older and we must use the grab bars, we will feel safe because they were installed correctly to the blockings behind the walls. Our ALU passed all Fairfax county inspections. We truly appreciate Charlie's workmanship.

Our basement project started and finished on time as planned.

We are very please with the results.

We just finished a complete kitchen renovation (full gut) with Northwood and it was a great experience. From the first walk with Bob and Tran through final completion with Charlie, the entire Northwood team was professional, detail-focused, etc., etc., everything you want in your contractor. We're super happy with the end product and highly recommend Northwood for anyone with a renovation in mind.

Northwood Construction just completed a major remodel and exterior upgrade to our home. This is the second remodel project that Bob Benedict and his team have done for us. Bob’s team is comprised of talented individuals that are skilled in many tradecrafts, are professionals in all aspects of customer service, and who honor and complete their projects on time and on budget. They are courteous, punctual, meticulous, and a pleasure to work with. Bob’s team and very capable subcontractors are what made our projects so successful. Our most recent project involved a complete remodel of an upstairs master bathroom and guest bath. We expanded the project to include a complete upgrade to the exterior with new siding and windows. The transformation of our home has been amazing. We were actively involved in all decision making and our questions promptly answered and addressed. We would not hesitate to have Northwood Construction back in our home for future renovations.
