Steve Hinton - 540-949-7766

We sing praises every day to Gordy Bormann, Owner of Bormann General Contractors. When Bill and I were looking for a home builder, Gordy was recommended to us, along with Steve Hinton, Owner of Design Vision, Inc. We met with both Gordy and Steve several times before we built our home. We were living in Honolulu at the time during construction. It was completed in 2009. Gordy and Steve worked so well together that we considered them a team. We trusted their judgment, and as a result, our home turned out to be of high design and quality. Gordy and his crew did an outstanding job, providing us with the house of our dreams. Gordy was very professional and was a delight to work with. Our house is now 10-years-old and we have not had any problems as a result of the construction. If you would like to talk to us, please don't hesitate to email me at bhoy@mainlandgroup.us or call at 808-780-1906. Submitted by Barbara Hoy. January 2021

Virginia Exteriors - 703-898-3102

I would like to recommend Virginia Exteriors for windows replacement. We just had ours installed in our Laurelwood Condo on Wintergreen Mtn. Our condo is finally warm–no more drafts coming in nor do we hear the wind howling. The windows are just beautiful and clear especially looking out at the sunset. The Laurelwood Condo Association approved the company and the Sunrise product they use. The association sent an inspector to inspect our windows after they were installed. He commented that was one of the best window installations he has seen. The owner of Virginia Exteriors, Eddie Hane, is a Class A contractor and has been in the window and siding business for over 30 years. He has employees (installers) who have been with him for a long time, some as long as 17 years. The company installed our windows in our main residence and we were very happy with their workmanship and the product. They are professional and diligent with their work. Eddie is honest, not pushy, and very pleasant to talk to and work with. He is very involved with the installations. His price was very reasonable and helped us prioritize our budget. We could not be happier and appreciated them coming all the way to Wintergreen to do the work for us and our neighbors. Learn more at their website virginiaexteriorsllc.com, (It's best to call his cell–703-898-3102–rather than emailing or texting.) Note: Plan ahead. Window orders are 2-3 months out due to COVID-19. If you would like to take a look at our windows, please feel free to contact me at 703-943-7714; Sally Souvannavong. December 2020

Kenny Thomas Roofing - 434-282-8537

We had a very good experience using Kenny Thomas Roofing and Handyman Services to replace our challenging roof in Wintergreen. Kenny and his crew arrived on time and stayed on the job until it was complete, which included a very diligent clean-up. We understand that Kenny’s company also does roof cleaning and gutter cleaning and repair. Kenny responded promptly to our texts and can be reached at 434-282-8537. Kenny’s company is on Facebook. Submitted by Betty Kane. November 2021

We recently had our entire roof replaced, and we highly recommend Kenny Thomas Roofing. Kenny showed us photos of the completed roof; he is a perfectionist with attention to all the details. He’s a professional and a problem solver. Contact Kenny Thomas, 434 282-8537. Submitted by Dennis and Christine Casey. July 2019

I recommend Kenny Thomas for roofing work. After several years of dealing with a leak and attempting various remedies with other roofers, Kenny was successful after only one attempt; I am very pleased. Contact Kenny Thomas at 434-282-8537. Submitted by Stuart Harvey.

Bryan Knowles - 434-363-7562

Need someone to repair, replace, or install new stonework or walkways? I recommend calling Bryan Knowles of Freshwater Hardscapes for an estimate. Bryan and his crew just replaced all the mortar joints on our bluestone front sidewalk to our complete satisfaction. The walk now looks better than when first installed. Bryan and his crew are excellent workers and do high-quality work. Call Bryan Knowles at 434-363-7562 or email Freshwaterhardscapes@outlook.com. Craig Cooper. October 2020

Windridge Landscaping & Hardscaping Company - 434-361-1588

,

We heartily recommend Windridge Landscaping and Hardscaping (434-361-1588). After the extensive wood landscape timbers on our back deck rotted very prematurely, we went searching for a company that could replace them with a high-quality product that would last forever. Through Wintergreen Bulletin Board, we found an enthusiastic recommendation for Windridge. Jeff Howe, the owner, came to our house multiple times and designed a very effective replacement for the landscape timbers. His crew then worked tirelessly and continuously. (Never was it said, "we have another project to catch up on, so we’ll see you in a week or so.") They completed the job perfectly. The crew's work was monitored closely to make sure it met Windridge’s high standards. The front office people at Windridge were also very efficient and responsive. It has been several months now and everything they did continues to hold up perfectly. You’re welcome to come and see the work they did for us. Submitted by David Schwiesow. August 2021

Jeff Howe's Windridge Landscaping & Hardscaping Company in Afton (434-361-1588) did a fabulous job removing our lower failing deck. Using all the huge boulders (some 5,000 pounds) in our backyard and other stone materials, they created a raised rock patio with cascading flower, herb, and rock gardens to blend naturally into the forest. Fabulous company and workers. Submitted by Chris Casey. October 2020

Roof Top Services - 434-975-2051

,

We recently had a new roof installed on our house, and as a result, would like to highly recommend Roof Top Services in Charlottesville. Everything about the process was seamless with this company which began with a meeting with the project manager who explained the entire process and gave us a printed timeline of the roof replacement process. On replacement day each crew member (there were over 15 of them) had his own personal task to complete. The site manager was present all day and made sure that all safety procedures were followed. From start to finish, we were so pleased with the professionalism of this company. At the time of our contract, they were offering a COVID discount as well as a military discount. Contact Roof Top Services at 434-975-2051; rooftopservicesva.com. I guarantee that you'll be impressed with the team work of this company. Submitted by Helen Lindsay. August 2020

K & R Construction – 434-996-2363

,

I would like to recommend KR Construction (krconstruction02@yahoo.com) for custom carpentry. We used this Faber, Va.-based business in the fall of 2019. They created kitchen cabinets from scratch to fit under our granite countertop. In addition, they created matching doors and drawer fronts for the rest of our cabinets. The quality of the work was superb. My only word of caution is that it took months for them to start our work; they were extremely busy. Maureen Moore. July 2020

I would like to recommend Russ Anderson for woodwork of all types. His specialty is custom cabinetry, but if any project involves woodworking, give him a call. We had an outdoor tabletop that was falling apart; he created a lovely new one of marine grade wood. We needed some kitchen cabinets built to exactly match existing cabinets; he did a fabulous job. He knows everything about kitchen cabinetry and made recommendations for improvements that we didn't even know existed. Our next project with him will be building a nicer fireplace surround and mantle. He is enjoyable to work with and his prices are reasonable. Everything he does is custom -- if you have an idea of what you want, he can probably make it happen and do it beautifully.

Jonathan Paige - 434-907-2377

We highly recommend Jonathan Paige for concrete work. He recently installed a three-step 20-foot concrete walkway with a side connection for us. He responded quickly to our request, provided an estimate the same day, made helpful suggestions during the project, and completed the work in two days. He has been working with concrete for 16 years, does a variety of concrete projects. He can be reached at 434-907-2377.  Submitted by Cheryl and Mike Capps, July 2020

Cenvar Roofing - 434-841-8898 & 434-484-0048

,

Cenvar Roofing of Charlottesville came out and replaced two older vent flashings that appeared to have a small leak. Service was quick and the price was reasonable. They replaced older shingles around the vent with a close match. Contact was Caleb Heuneman at 434-484-0048. Submitted by Thomas Willis. April 2021.

Cenvar Roofing out of Lynchburg (434-841-8898) did a great job for us. We had called three other roofers to give us estimates and none showed up. We called and they were here the next day. The estimate was good and they used great materials. They got us on the schedule and showed up when they said they would. Worked from 8-8 and we now have a beautiful new roof. Highly highly recommend them. James Kitchen. July 2020

Ben Hufsmith - 434-981-3492

I'd like to recommend Ben Hufsmith for any cabinetry or finish carpentry needs.  He's an independent contractor with a great deal of experience, having worked with several custom cabinet providers. He can do anything from a complete kitchen cabinet replacement to things as simple as installing sliders for easier access to contents.  I've personally used Ben to rebuild a custom full-wall bookcase and to install an attic lift (similar to a dumbwaiter for an attic). This carpenter does excellent work!  He can be reached at 434-981-3492. Submitted by Steve Schwartz.
