John Donne - 434-953-5295

Responding to the recent request for home builder recommendations, consider Sun Structures. Inc., owned and operated by John Donne and his son Timothy. John has been a home builder in this area for over 35 years. He constructed our house in Stoney Creek, which we purchased new in 2006. He has also built homes on Wintergreen mountain, among many others in this area. While looking at homes in Stoney Creek, we visited our house periodically while under construction before deciding to purchase it. We met John several times and were impressed with the quality of the work and the time he spent with us detailing the many aspects of the construction and the fact that he was (and still is) a hands-on builder. In the following years, we hired John on a number of projects in and around our home, including finishing our basement and several carpentry projects. Sun Structure's website will provide additional details. Call them at 434-953-5295. Submitted by Mike Yannuzzi. March 2021

• We recently had a complete renovation of our condo done, including kitchen and bath remodel, installation of vinyl plank flooring, electrical work including ceiling fan installation and baseboard heater replacement, popcorn ceiling removal, complete interior painting, and hot water tank replacement. We highly recommend Matt Layton (434 882-4659). He was very professional, courteous, and neat. We stayed at the condo on and off throughout the process and Matt was very communicative in letting us know what time he would be arriving and planned out the projects to minimize the disruption. Above all, we found him to be very trustworthy and respectful. It can be difficult to have someone working in your home, but Matt was very easy to work with. He is a true perfectionist, working methodically and intentionally on every detail.
Also, for this project, we purchased the flooring from Judi Cave at Shenandoah Flooring in Waynesboro. They have a great selection of flooring and tile. The kitchen cabinetry was designed and ordered through Dovetail Cabinetry & Design in Staunton. Scott Woofter was our kitchen designer and we were able to have cabinets replaced for a better price than was quoted by Lowe’s or Home Depot. We are very happy with our results.

• We would like to recommend Matthew Layton of Roseland for his excellent work as a remodeling contractor. Matt just finished rebuilding a bathroom for us, and he did an outstanding job. He is a multi-talented tradesman. Matt personally handled all the demolition, electrical, plumbing, waterproofing, construction, tile laying, and painting on our project. He's a friendly, hard-working perfectionist who holds himself to the highest standards. He's bonded and insured and usually stays booked well in advance. We had to wait three months before he could start on our project, but it was well worth it. Matt can be reached at 434-882-4659 or via email at laytonhoi@gmail.com.

Telephone options

,

In December WBB subscriber Jerry Akman asked readers of our newsletter for suggestions on reducing the cost of maintaining his Verizon telephone landline in his vacation home on Wintergreen Mountain. He carefully investigated several alternatives and was kind enough to share what he learned about inexpensive VoIP services. Here's his report:

We have had Verizon landline phone service since we bought our condo on Wintergreen mountain almost 30 years ago. As we can use our cellphones from our condo, we had the most minimal Verizon plan—911 service, no long distance and per call charges for local calls.

For this minimal service, after a rate increase from Verizon, our monthly service fee including taxes, fees, etc., (but not counting any per call charges) was $33, or $400 per year. So, we decided to explore alternatives and, after reading the reviews for Ooma and Magic Jack, we decided to try out Magic Jack’s phone service using our internet… Read more here

I highly recommend Patrick Coyle for your home remodeling, improvements, and renovations. Paddy just finished making our circa 2002 bathroom into an upgraded 2021 beauty. By removing an outdated jet tub and a box shower, he transformed the bathroom into one with the most gorgeously tiled, walk-in, huge shower. He freed up space for storage and totally changed the look of our existing vanity. His ideas for lighting, design and colors were all winners. Paddy is a truly responsible professional who has an excellent work ethic and is very meticulous in everything he does. He was such a delight to work with–even our dogs looked forward to greeting him when he arrived every morning. Contact him at 434-806-1296 (cell/text); patrickcoyleconstruction@gmail.com.
