The entire experience went as well as can be expected when you are living in a house while a substantial amount of construction work is being done. If we have another renovation project, we would definitely use Virginia Kitchen & Bath. Everyone we worked with from the organization were professional and responsive to our needs and requirements. Suggestions from Leon and Hakhan prevented us from making mistakes, and greatly improved the final product. The craftsmanship of the workers was higher than I had expected, and they were always focused on making sure that we were happy with the work. During the project, we gave VKB approximately $12,500 of additional work on our house which was also completed to our complete satisfaction. We are satisfied that we got a fair price for high-quality work from a team who worked with us, and we would use them again.
