Rob Moses of Blue Ridge Building & Home Safety Solutions - 434-202-4054

,

We would like to compliment Rob Moses of Blue Ridge Building & Home Safety Solutions (434-202-4054) following the replacement of our two decks. We have lived in Wintergreen for approximately 25 years and have built two homes here, one on the mountain and one in Stoney Creek. We have dealt with many contractors, subcontractors, handymen, tradesmen, and such. It is difficult to find someone willing to come to this location, do a good job, and be pleasant at the same time. Rob was professional–prompt, neat, tidy, and completed the project with quality workmanship that surpassed our expectations. His wife, Sara, was also attentive to the business aspect of this project. We recommend Blue Ridge Building and Home Safety Solutions. Submitted by Lina Johnson and Chris Niebergall. November 2024

Good Measure Carpentry - 434-326-2898

,

We are happy to recommend Brian Buckley, owner of Good Measure Carpentry (434-326-2898). We were introduced to Brian’s work when we drove past his project on Camping Ridge and followed the progress of this outstanding structure being built from the ground floor up. After speaking with the owner, who couldn’t have given Brian more glowing praise, we hired him to add a storage room to our home. One key to a successful relationship is the ability to ask questions and ensure complete agreement on the project's objectives. Brian uses an interactive approach focusing on budget, cost-savings, aesthetics, and satisfaction—the result is a seamless addition that adds functionality. Even the county inspector commented on the quality of Brian’s work. "The sign of good work is not being able to tell it’s an addition.” Submitted by Francesca Flood. December 2024

Billy Campbell Construction - 434-466-5725

,

If you’re looking for someone to remodel your home, Billy Campbell is your man! Billy hasn’t left Treeloft Village in years for a good reason. Neighbors keep signing him up after seeing his superior work, hearing about his integrity, and being charmed by his good nature. Billy beautifully remodeled my place at 29 Pinnacle Drive. The new fireplace is the highlight. Billy repurposed 100-plus-year-old wood to create a unique and charming centerpiece. In addition to his creative eye, Billy recognized and fixed structural issues, worked hard and efficiently, and was reasonably priced. I couldn’t be happier. Submitted by Bob Emery. October 2024

I'd like to recommend Billy Campbell Construction (434-466-5725) for any remodeling projects. He completely remodeled my 1970s Treeloft house on Wintergreen mountain to mint condition. The quality of the finished product was beyond expectations. He is adept at all types of construction projects and has completed many total remodels on my street. His work is superior. I would not hesitate to recommend him. Submitted by Bill Chapin. July 2024

I highly recommend David and Jessica Brown of Precise Painting (PrecisePaintingVA@yahoo.com) who painted the exterior of my home. They did a thorough job of pressure washing the house and caulking the windows before meticulously painting. They also helped me fine-tune my color choice and were a pleasure to work with. Submitted by Mike Pendray.

Steve Speckhardt - 540-836-0729

I can recommend Steve Speckhardt, owner of New Image Remodeling (540-836-0729, niremodeling757@gmail.com), as a reliable contractor. He repaired the water damage on my home's underflooring with new waterproofing materials, put in new insulation, and treated for mold and moisture. He also installed a french drain and did some landscaping for me. Based in Augusta County, Steve also installs windows, doors, decks, remodels porches, installs gutters, and more.

Roy Robinson - 540-949-0566

If you need a new roof, I would like to recommend Quality Enterprise, 65 Whipporwill Way, Waynesboro. After a home inspection verified that we needed a new roof, we contacted Roy Robinson & Tim Bradley to submit a bid. Roy arrived with their estimate in hand. They did not need to walk the roof, measure, and calculate the supplies and time estimate because they used a satellite service to determine the time & costs. Other roofers had spent an hour or so measuring and inspecting. Photos provided by the home inspector helped pinpoint problem areas. The men and women who did the work quickly and efficiently did the work and cleaned up all debris in 3 1/2 days. I highly recommend this business. Contact them at 540-949-0566 or qeiroofing@gmail.com. Submitted by Carolyn Barrette. July 2024

Peace of Mind Property Services - 434-361-1804

,

Peace of Mind is aptly named. Last week, we needed a plumber; Mariah Kurpel arrived exactly on time and very efficiently took care of all our plumbing issues. Some of the services Peace of Mind offers include electrical, light painting, water heater, and appliance repair and replacement services. They can be reached at 434-361-1804. Submitted by Alice Karrh. September 2024

I just had an outstanding experience with a plumber recommended in the WBB directory. We had a leaking pipe under the kitchen sink. The main water had to be shut off.  Peace of Mind Property Services' Muriah Kurpel and helper (434-361-2804) came within a few hours to our mountain home and replaced the pipe and valve in no time flat. They were so courteous, and the price was reasonable. I give them high grades all the way around. They are coming back to replace aging pipes and valves under the sink. Submitted by Charles Murphy. August 2024

Mariah Kurpel (434-826-8279) of Peace of Mind Property Services (434-361-1804) has provided exceptional plumbing service at our home on the mountain since 2021. She has replaced plumbing fixtures, installed a whole-house water filtration system, and insulated pipes. She responds to texts promptly and she keeps her appointments. I highly recommend her. Submitted by Trevor Campbell. February 2024

I just had two employees from Peace of Mind Property Services (LaDonna Kurpel is president, 434-361-1804, email LaDonna@peaceofmind-ps.com) replace the ceiling in the laundry room, paint it, and do a few other odd jobs. They were proficient, quick, cleaned up, stuck to the task at hand and answered my questions, and gave recommendations. They are on my speed dial now. I can always use an excellent handyman and they are local! Submitted by Debra Chestney. June 2022

Albemarle Heating and Air - 434-293-4556

Last week I had a good experience with Albemarle Heating and Air (434-293-4556), a large operation serving several localities around us. They are not cheap, but I was impressed with the professionalism and craftsmanship of the plumber and his trainee. They replaced a worn-out (noisy) pressure-reducing valve and primary shut-off under the house, fixed a difficult leak on the pipes coming from the water heater and, (since they were here) put in a new basket on the sink in the wet bar. (I felt lazy having them to do it, but it turned out to be not an easy task even for the pros.) They do “give you the opportunity” to have a service contract, but the discounts only make sense (and then, only maybe) if you have them always do both plumbing and HVAC.

James Chambers - 540-307 1217

,

In response to the request for recommendations for gas fireplace maintenance, I have used Chambers Contracting in Fisherville (540-307 1217). James Chambers responded to my request within two days instead of some of the businesses in the Yellow Pages who took weeks or more to respond. He has a fixed price for a visit and was very efficient and professional. I was happy with his response and his work; he left my fireplace in good working order and cleaned up the workspace. He also cleans and inspects fireplaces and woodstoves of all types. Submitted by David Witmer. April 2024

Brad Davis - 540-470-8185

I highly recommend Brad Davis, the owner of Rockfish Valley Construction. He specializes in carpentry but is also a licensed and insured contractor. He recently took our idea of creating custom built-in shelving for our mud room and quickly turned it into reality. The finished shelving looks like it is part of the original home, and will offer us some much-needed storage. He added trim to coordinate with the rest of our home and moved the air and electrical vents to the base so they were still usable. He showed up when expected at all times, and worked our job until it was completed. Every aspect of our experience with Brad was highly professional. You can contact him at 540-470-8185 or email at Rockfishvalleyconstruction@gmail.com. Submitted by Mary Creed-Pallone. April 2024

Josh’s Paving (540-932-2033), out of Waynesboro, paved my asphalt driveway and a few years later sealed it. I’ve been very happy with them and have called them back to patch an area where the ground was sinking. Submitted by Robert Peirce. April 2024

asphalt, seal drive, highly recommend Josh’s Paving (540-932-2033). They did excellent work on our driveway. It was tight work due to fencing and stone walls, but they did an excellent job for a very reasonable price. Submitted by Joel Sowers. October 2021
