Bright Construction Group

Knew what they were talking about, but the bid was quite a bit higher than others we had so we went with a lower priced bid from another contractor (also on Angie's list).

The project went well. I initially had some issues with communication when working on the bid and some follow-up questions. It took me several weeks to get my questions answered and I had to do the follow-up with them. That is why I have given them a B on communication. However, when Luis took over during the actual project, communication went smoothly and the project went smoothly. They were efficient and the patio looks great. They removed the old patio, framed the new one, poured the concrete (added in the base color for us), stamped it, and sealed it. Their bid was competitive. We love it.

See above. Came to house then disappeared. Cannot get estimate despite calls to the rep who came to the house as well as calls to the company.

Bright accommodated me by coming to my house on a Sunday to discuss the work and give me a quote. I had the quote the same day! They were able to schedule the work on the day I requested. After I chose them, they showed up on the day/time that was agreed upon and even stayed late the second day just to finish the job. They paid a great amount of attention to detail. The stones were cut perfectly to fit corners and obstacles. Everything was measured accurately. The transformation of my backyard is incredible.

We never got any work done because they would not schedule a date. They would work out the plan on paper but evidently got bigger jobs to do or were just too busy, but they would not respond to our phone calls.

Excellent. I called them on a Monday, and made an appointment for a cost quote for Wednesday. The representative was on time for the appointment. He provided a professional, detailed estimate by email the next day. I clarified a few things with him, and applied an Angie's List coupon. We came to an agreement on Friday. I asked him to call me when they had a crew ready, thinking it would be a few weeks. He called later that day to say the crew would be there Monday morning. The crew was on-time, and the foreman discussed what I wanted in detail. I went off to work. When I got home the work was done! And it was excellent, exactly what I wanted and was expecting. So the whole thing was done in a week.

I found a much better price and did not use Bright.

No one contacted me regarding my request.

Bright construction did a great job on my patio. They were prompt. answered my questions both in person and by email, and cleaned up after themselves. I now have a beautiful patio.

This was an outstanding experience with Bright Masonry (Bright Construction). I had selected 5 contractors to come out and survey the job and submit a quote. Three of the contractors I found on Angie's List and two were from other online referral sites. All of the contractors were Northern VA based, which put them closer to me and I thought they would be more familiar with Fairfax County requirements. All of the contractors had good feedback ratings, but Bright's were the highest of the lot. All of the quotes were fairly close (about a $600 spread) but each of them had a slightly different standard for this kind of job. Some would put down wire mesh and rebar, others would only use the mesh. Some would put down 4" of 4,000 psi concrete and others would use 5" of 3,500 psi. I negotiated with two of the lower bidders and settled on both wire mesh and rebar, with 5" of 3,500 psi concrete. Bright's written standard procedures and specifications also included several other features such as using 8" deep concrete (like a footing) around the perimeter of the driveway, as well as backfilling dirt around the driveway, putting down grass seed and straw to cover the seed, and their schedule of completing the entire job in one day. I selected Bright, although they were not quite the lowest bidder. But they had a track record of good feedback, so I felt more confident going with them. After waiting almost a month for good weather, the selected date arrived (3/29/2013) and, as promised, the foreman (Joao) arrived at 7:20am and the rest of the crew (5 guys plus the Bobcat operator) all arrived by 7:45am. They had everything they needed and went right to work. I have used contractors in the past (siding, windows, roofing, plumbing, etc.) and I have NEVER seen a crew work so well and so efficiently all day. They had scheduled the cement truck for 12 noon, and when it arrived at noon, they were ready to pour. Joao was there all day, asked me to come out and review the progress several times, pointed out some minor changes they should implement to make the water runoff better, and got my approval. They were finished with the job shortly after 4:00pm, except that they didn't have the grass seed with them and would have to return to put that down. They returned 3 business days later and put down some additional topsoil, seed and straw. This job went extremely well. The crew and Joao were extremely professional, and I could not have been happier with the end result. I highly recommend Bright Construction for this type of job.

As the saying goes, there is only one chance to make a first impression. As far as I'm concerned, my experience with Bright Masonry was completely dissatisfactory. I had contacted them for a quote on a concrete driveway. We had set up a mutually agreed upon time for the surveyor to come out to my home to assess the job. At the day and time when I was expecting the person to show, Bright called me to tell me he was running a bit late from the previous job site and would be there in "20 to 25 minutes". I said that was ok. An hour later no one had showed up nor had I heard anything from the company. I called back to say this was unacceptable and I will be taking my business elsewhere. If they can't show up for a simple estimate, what will their actual work be like?

I was concerned because it was an overcast day with rain predicted. The crew started about 9AM broke up the old concrete and hauled it away, tamped down under where the new pour was to go and spread and leveled gravel. erected wooden forms, placed rebar and steel wire mesh. Concrete truck arrived about noon to 1PM and began pour of the porch walkway and driveway. Workers moved the contrete around and smoothed it. Broom finished the job. Truck left and a second truck came with more than enough to finish the job. After they left we got light sprinkles of rain, I was concerned but have not seen ill effects from the light rain. If I had it to do over, I would not have it done with rain even in the forecast.

Bright Masonry was prompt, provided a competitive bid and followed through with the work about a week later. They were on time. They did the work as they described and completed on time. Their workers did an excellent job by keeping the job site clean and took care of the landscaping and porch that were adjacent to the driveway. I would hire them again without hesitation.

They mixed up the appointment but rescheduled and showed up the day after I called them back. Pricing was significantly higher than others.

In spite of calling them back, they did not contact me further, nor did they provide the promised estimate.

The work went very well. The crew started and finished in one day. There were several guys working on my porch, which was pretty impressive (I was expecting just a couple guys). When the stairs were done and they removed the forms, the crew took time to ensure the mulch and dirt they had moved to set the forms was put back in place.

Fantastically!! Wonderfully!! Perfectly!!! What a wonderful job. I think they too are proud of the work they did.

I was very pleased with the work done by Bright Construction from providing ideas at the time of the original estimate to the completion of the job to my full satisfaction. Everyone from the company was professional and courteous. Aside from one mix up in scheduling the day the work was supposed to be done (a very minor inconvenience) my overall experience was excellent and I have no hesitation in recommending the company to others.

Stephen came to give an estimate and went over the job requirements thoroughly. He understood that we needed not just a new driveway, carport pad and walkway but we also needed to have some leveling and drainage work done as well. Of all three estimators who came to look at the job he was the only one who recognized the need to level the yard and correct the drainage problem on one side of the walkway. He was professional and competent. The job went exactly as described, with the first team arriving when expected, and working late on the first day to complete the concrete work. They did a beautiful job. The next day the flagstone installers arrived and again, worked hard all that day and the next to complete the flagstone walkway and porch. They too did a beautiful job. The next crew came to re- plant the azalea bushes that had to be removed to level the yard, and re-seed the yard. I was completely satisfied with the entire job, and the professionalism of everyone involved. And to top it off, their price was the best of the three estimates we received.

Bright took what could have been an awful experience and made it fairly painless. They poured a aggregate concrete driveway to replace an aggregate concrete driveway that was cracked and improperly pitched. The first driveway they poured came out in two different colors/textures due problems encountered during the pour. After speaking with the folks at Bright about the color/texture issue they came back again and tore out the entire driveway poured two weeks earlier and poured another new driveway that looks great and is properly pitched. Bright stood behind their work and made everything right.

Very professional, multiple ways for me to work with the front office staff. Flexible scheduling. Professional guys. Relatively prompt. They did the work in 1 day, multiple guys working on it. Came out great. One small flaw I found they agreed to redo, no hassles. I would definitely work with these folks again and I plan to. I feel confident, knock on wood, that this work is going to last and it certainly looks much sturdier than what the home builder did.

It all started right here on Angie list. I did put out a lot of phone calls because this job had some real big issues and I needed to hear how they would do this job. Some people were honest and said it isn't the type of jobs that they could do. Others try to make it sound like they knew what to do but I did not feel the connection. I meet Rui with Bright Masonary and he was the 2nd company that came out to give me a bid. Rui knows the job and he was the one to set all of my concerns in my head. The other company that came out to give there bids must tell me where they see issues if they do not say it then I wouldn't even concider them. We choose Rui. Very professional outfit. Well manner and they work in teams. I really like the guys that work for bright. They remove our old wood deck and hauled it away. then they started to do a lay out of new patio. The also had to put in new stairs to the basement. lots of concrete work and rough in our new fire pitt. Then the stone work started and let me tell you these men work hard and if some thing I did not like they would make it right. They also removed our front walk way and replaced it with flag stone and did our stairs. Put in a beautiful porch and we use this area all the time. Would use this company againT

Went very well overall. I told the story above. I would clarify exactly what you want in the proposal so that there is no question about the extent of the work during the project. If there are changes along the way be willing to compromise and negotiate with them. If you have certain expectations for interacting with them during the project let them know that up front. E,g, I'd like to know what work is being done on a day-by day basis, I want to meet with the project manager every day, by phone if not in person; I want samples of all products they will be using beforehand, etc. If you have issues with the price ask if there is any way to reduce the price while still meeting most if not all of your expectations.

Andrew came out to look at our basement and provide an estimate on 9/28. Everything seemed straightforward, he seems like a nice enough guy, and the initial price range was reasonable. It is now 10/10, and I have not heard from this company once. Staying home from work ended up being a waste of time. Not very professional, in my opinion.

They were very responsive and gave me a great estimate. The Only reason I didn't go with them was because I was having a deck built over the driveway and went with a company that could do all of that together, so that coordinating everything would be easier.
