Rob Moses - 434-202-4320

We highly recommend the work of Rob Moses, Blue Ridge Building and Home Security (434-202-4054). He installed Ring cameras for front and back security of our home, grab bars in our shower, and front porch railing for our one-foot step-up front porch. We didn't urgently need any of these improvements, but we are relieved that they are in place as we age in place. Rob is the true definition of "professional" in every way.  Submitted by Janie Friedlein.

I highly recommend Rob Moses, Blue Ridge Building & Home Safety Solutions (434-202-4054, brhomesafety.com), to anyone looking for top-notch deck repair and rejuvenation.  Rob reconstructed our front deck, including dealing with odd angles and load-bearing posts, and replaced and updated the railing with cable.  He also replaced damaged boards on another deck and prepped and re-stained both decks.  Lynn and I could not be happier with the results.  Rob took great care in planning and executing every step and always kept me informed of progress.  It was a pleasure working with Rob. Submitted by Rob Pritchard.

We had Rob Moses of Blue Ridge Building & Home Safety Solutions (434-202-4054) repair and replace decking on several decks. He was efficient and reliable and identified several small areas which needed work. Submitted by Gerry DeWitt. May 2024

I had a terrific experience with Rob Moses of Blue Ridge Building & Home Safety Solutions (434-202-4054) who helped to renew my deck boards. He was pleasant and hard-working. He said he would arrive at 8 and did. Took extra care to make sure any cut ends were dipped in copper solution. It was a pleasure working with Rob. Submitted by Jon Aronson. April 2024

We are very pleased with the service and installation of our new screen doors. Rob from Blue Ridge Home Safety (info@brhomesafety.com, 434-202-4320) recommended security screen doors from Lowe’s to take advantage of the natural cross breeze we enjoy on mild days. The first screen door was installed quickly but we had some rotten wood surrounding the door jam on the back porch. Rob expertly repaired the troubled areas, explaining what he was doing each step of the way. He sealed the new trim, caulked it, and painted it before installing the screen door. The process came out perfectly! These screen doors are rugged and would be nearly impossible to penetrate. Submitted by Bill and Shelly Scott. March 2024

We recently contacted Blue Ridge Home Safety for a home assessment to recommend improvements designed for aging in place. They responded quickly with a detailed assessment, followed by estimates for any of the improvements that we decided we wanted to have done. Work commenced quickly on installing handrails, bathroom grab bars, and a new security system, among other items. Rob and Sara Moses have been an absolute delight to work with. Every aspect of their operation, from communication to scheduling and showing up on time, to quality workmanship, to billing, and an easy payment system, has been impeccable. They are located in Stoney Creek and their services complement those of Here to Stay Wintergreen, even offering a discount to Here to Stay Wintergreen members. We highly recommend Blue Ridge Home Safety for anyone interested in making safety improvements to their home. Submitted by Joan and Doug Clarke. June 2023

We would like to recommend Blue Ridge Home Safety (434–202–4054) for home improvement projects. Rob Moses has renovated our decks. All floorboards were replaced along with railings on our deck and our front porch was completely replaced as well as the stairs up to the screened-in porch. The workmanship was outstanding.  He arrived at 8 am or earlier and left his worksite organized and clean every day. Submitted by Jackie Castro. September 2023

We recently had Blue Ridge Home Safety of Nellysford (434-202-4054, brhomesafety.com) perform an assessment of our home which included a detailed inspection of both the inside and outside. Shortly thereafter we met with them again and went over a detailed report of suggested modifications to improve our home’s safety and security. Many of the modifications and installations can be performed by BRHS. They can also provide the names of reputable handyman services who can. They are certified Senior Home Safety Specialists and certified home safety advisors for aging in place. We were very impressed with BRHS’s professionalism and strongly recommend that others in our community have a safety evaluation of their homes. It was well worth it. Submitted by S. E. Martino.

I would like to recommend Dr. Chris Lowthert (434-270-5912) to anyone in need of a chiropractor.

White Glove Cleaning - 434-987-6449

We’d like to reaffirm an earlier Wintergreen Bulletin Board recommendation for Crystal Allen and White Glove Cleaning. With an upcoming surgery and a visit from inspector mom, we opted to hire a deep cleaning service and searched references from the WBB. We settled on White Glove and we must say it was really impressive.  Crystal came to assess and then brought what seemed like an army for a thorough half-day deep cleaning. I swear to goodness that every surface area regardless of orientation was cleaned. The house is spotless, but if a person can "feel" cleanliness then we do. Crystal’s stand-out attributes are dedication to high standards, empathy, and kindness to her staff. I heard many pleases and thank yous on a busy day.  It’s also nice to know they are licensed and insured.  Contact them at CWhiteGlove@aol.com; 434-987-6449.  Submitted by Kate Humphrey & Mike Chambers. June 2023

There are simply no words to express the professionalism, quality of work, timely response, and most importantly kindness, warmth, and caring attitude that I recently received from Crystal Allen and James Martin with White Glove Cleaning LLC (434-987-6449, cwhiteglove@aol.com). Although I had spoken with Crystal on several occasions, she had never provided any services at the home on the mountain that my husband and I have owned for many, many years. That did not stop her from offering immediate assistance when I asked for her help during a very difficult time. I will never be able to thank her enough. Nor can I adequately express how highly I recommend her and her team of professionals for any cleaning needs you may have. I do not believe you will ever find anyone better, more professional, or kinder…EVER. Thank you Crystal and James and I look forward to welcoming you back to my home on a regular basis.
