– Meghan & Peter of Vienna, VA

“We are so happy that we found Ideal Construction! Of the list of contractors we originally started with, Ideal was actually the only one who didn’t come from a personal reference, but their reviews online were so good and consistent that we added them to our list. In the end, they were the most responsive to our initial questions and request for a bid, that ultimately our decision to use them was easy (we started with a list of 5 contractors). We used them to add an addition to our house, remodel the kitchen and add a mudroom/powder room.

A few things really set them apart. First, they were and are so incredibly responsive. Texts, emails, calls were all returned quickly. Zade was our project manager and always found time to stop by, even if it meant coming over the weekend or in the evening to accommodate our work schedules. I felt comfortable sending him a quick text whenever I had a question, and he always got right back to me. Some of the contractors I was given from friends were hardly responsive enough for me to get a consult or a bid. Almost all the other contractors we met with never even followed up with us after providing a bid. That really shocked me considering how much money we were investing in our house. Even now, I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to Zade if I had a question and our remodel was completed months ago.

Secondly, Zade and his crew came up with several creative and cost-cutting ideas to help me achieve the look I wanted, while staying within budget. Reusing a door, building out shelving, and even helping me come up with a way to save my beautiful old oak floors that I didn’t want to replace. The end result is beautiful and we love our new addition and kitchen. Investing in our home and using Ideal was the best decision we could’ve made.

Lastly and most importantly, Ideal Construction is truly just a kind, decent, hard-working family run company! When you hire a contractor to do work in your home, you are inviting them into your life for an extended period of time. I didn’t take it lightly that whoever we hired would be in and out of my house for months, interacting with my kids and creating a space that my family would enjoy for many, many years ahead. Zade and his crew couldn’t have been nicer or more accommodating. He seems to work 24 hrs a day, but always made us feel like we were his only project.

Downsides? We experienced a couple of delays, but that was more due to outside companies (the gas company needing to move our meter was a huge frustration and a delay with our cabinet makers). Again, Zade and his crew never left us hanging or were delayed in responding to our questions or concerns.”
