Cyrus Construction LP

OK, wrote company for estimate first with my drawing and pictures they requested. It took awhile to get back to me. So I purchased their 99.00 special for a drawing to be done as well as a take off. Met with their lead estimator who did a nice job and was quick in turning around the drawing. Price was OK but many contract stipulations putting all risk and responsibility and burden on the client and no risk to themselves . No clear cost breakout or scope clarifications in proposal. Just Lump sum proposal that was not specific in nature.

I'm using them based on experience that I had with them before and i highly recommend them.

I did not hire Cyrus. I was undecided and it was a somewhat hard decision between Cyrus and another company as both had good reviews and were similar in cost. I ended up with a company that was closer to my area.

2 surveyors came out for measurements. Simple plan requested - over the top plan provided. The plan provided missed several structural elements and had deficiencies. The plans were difficult to read and interpret due to small size and inability to expand and read.

My kitchen was in need of a HUGE upgrade - I went with Cyrus Construction because the price was fair and their team was extremely professional and helpful from the get-go, and then all the way to the end. The workmanship was great and I will definitely use them for my bathroom remodels next year.

Russell was very accommodating and helped us to stay within budget. There were no surprises, and the work was done very quickly and efficiently in time for our new school year in September. We appreciated the 3-D cad design that Russell put together and adjusted based on our unique requirements. We also enjoyed picking out the materials in the showroom in Fairfax. It was a very pleasant experience, and the quality and craftsmanship are definitely shining on this project. We would love to do more projects with Cyrus in the future, and we highly recommend them.

The plan was fairly well done, but a little difficult to read. However, the price for the plan was very reasonable. Hthey also provided a proposal to perform the renovations, which was 2-3 times more expensive than any other proposal that we received.

Very professional, punctual with appointment and estimates. Very friendly

Our kitchen update is absolutely gorgeous! Russell was available via cell phone to discuss any concerns we had and Aazeal was always a friendly voice in the office. Russell kept us close to budget and Luis, his foreman, was easy to talk with on site. The project took longer than we expected, but we love our new kitchen.

The company did not honor the deal. They said they had no idea how the deal showed up on your site and there was no way they could do the work for that low of a price.

The renovation plan provided by Cyrus proved to be a useful starting pint for my project, although some significant alterations were made by other contractors who actually performed the work.

Appointment for discussion and measurement was done promptly and discussion and plan development were done professionally and quickly. Questions were welcomed and addressed completely. Plans produced had good detail and great detail on estimate for the work. Estimate for the work came in higher than another by about 15% so didn't award Cyrus the work but would have no problem dealing with them in the future, completely courteous, knowledgeable and professional. Plans provided were well worth the price paid in planning for the work.

Great communication. Great workmanship. Awesome to work with from start to finish. Will use them for my basement project in a couple years.

I would highly recommend Cyrus Construction. Russell was easy to work with and made sure the work was completed exactly to my requests, while keeing the job within my budget. He was able to design my bar exactly as I envisioned it, while helping along the way with items such as finding the granite I wanted at a much more reasonable price. The installer was knowledgeable and installation was completed perfectly. Add to list Edit

Horrible. Never use them. If this is how they approach a design, their work would be horrendous.

We worked with Russell Blake on this bathroom remodel. This was the first major remodel we had to do on our house so we weren't sure how the process worked on this type of project. Russell was very professional and helped answer all the questions that we had. Once we determined all of the materials that we wanted and had everything collected, we were able to schedule the remodel for about a week later. The remodeling phase only took 3 days, the workers were very nice and were here from about 10am - 8pm during those 3 days. Overall, the process took about 2 months, but that's also due to the fact that we were waiting on other proposals from other companies and it took us awhile to determine what tiles we wanted. We will definitely use Cyrus Construction again when we do our master bathroom remodel.

Excellent. Worked with Russell Blake on design ideas and fixtures. The project was estimated to take 3-4 weeks and was completed in 4. The crew did a great job on the project and left the house and yard spotless. They cleaned up the work area everyday as promised. The cost estimate was very reasonable and the few change orders were handled promptly and reasonably. Overall, working with Russell Blake and Cyrus was a great experience. We are very pleased with the new kitchen.

This was a big deal purchase. That means I am not using them for free work.

I received an excellent set of plans

Not only did we get horrible and inaccurate drawings, they were varied unusable sizes. All attempts to get it correct were met with upsale and zero attempts to deliver the service we paid to receive.

The appt. went really well. Russell was super easy to get ahold of to schedule, really only took 1 message left by me and a call right back and the scheduling was done. He was on time and thorough and the estimate was back exactly when he said it would be. I will be using them when I get ready to pull the trigger on the renovation.

Russell was very professional and offered a highly detailed, competitively priced proposal for our master bathroom project. He asked very good questions and showed that he has a lot of experience and great ideas and listened and understood our needs and requirements. We ended up going with a different company, but I would highly recommend getting an estimate from Cyrus for your project.

I got a good report from them. They did a good job. I gave them the highest rating. We haven't contracted with them to do the actual work because he was really the first person we talked to and we had nothing to compare what he gave us to. Very soon we'll start. And I wrote in the evaluation that we were still considering him to do the work but we hadn't investigated enough. He did the design of the basement but I was also looking for somebody who not only could do the actual construction work but somebody who could give advice on the materials and...100% renovation type. What work materials you should use, what type of flooring you should use, maybe what colors you might want to consider. That's the hardest part as far as I am concerned. That's what I really need some help with...the design of and help in choosing materials and furniture. The whole thing is what I am looking for. He estimated the cost to be about $24000. I would give him an A because he sent us some very detailed plans and he listened to what it is we want and he gave us like suggestions . I was hoping to get some design input as well but it's probably my fault for not realizing what the parameters of the plans were going to be. So he did a fantastic job on the plans and he was very prompt. He was very polite and he sent us all the information when he said he would. He offered to have a consultation with us afterwhich. Because it was so close to Christmas, we were really busy and actually didn't have the time. We haven't ruled him out at this stage. We sort of kind of got interrupted and haven't gotten back to the project. On price; here is where I am not sure. I give them an A because I don't have anything to compare it to really so I wouldn't want to downgrade them for something I have no knowledge of. It sounds expensive but it's a lot of work. He had some wonderful suggestions and the quality of the drawing was very good. He was totally punctual. He was right on time...to the minute. He was right there. He wasn't too early, he wasn't too late, he was right on time. He was very professional. I would definitely recommend this service. It was a really good experience. I felt like we got our money's worth from him coming. We have some things that we are considering that we weren't considering before we talked to him. He had some really good suggestions. He sent us excellent designs. He sent us the detailed analysis of the cost. He was very thorough. He asked us how we intended to use the room and we explained to him what we wanted to do in the room. He did a lot of measurements and he gave us some suggestions. For instance we knew our bathroom is sort of a few steps up from the room and we knew we wanted to take it down but he gave us a suggestion of moving the door which we hadn't thought of before. so that was a really good suggestion because it changes the whole space by doing that. That was the type of thing he did. He found out how you wanted to use your room. He had experience. He analyzed the room and stuff and gave us these suggestions which we hadn't considered before which is exactly what we wanted. It was the first step that we took in making a plan for this room.

Our basement utility/laundry room was unfinished, dark, grubby, and inconvenient. James appreciated that we wanted a bright, functional work place rather than a spendy total renovation. He suggested several practical changes at a reasonable price. Since we were expecting family guests for Thanksgiving, it was necessary to complete the work as fast as possible. Cyrus rose to the challenge magnificently, and was a pleasure to work with. We are very pleased with our bright, open, functional work space. We appreciated the ease of communication, and close cooperation were very satisfied with our experience with Cyrus Construction.

First let me say, if you contract with Cyrus Construction, insist on having Van as your lead foreman. I have done many home projects, and Van is the best I have ever worked with. I am sure they have many excellent foremen, but wait for Van, and you will be really happy with his results. We received an email from Angies List for a Custom Basement Design with measurements and a Set of Plans for $99.00. We had been wanted to do something with our basement, so my wife contacted Russell Blake from Cyrus Construction Company to conduct the design. Russell was very responsive and we met within a few days of contacting him. We walked the basement and discussed our ideas. Russell took detail measurements and submitted a proposed design and cost estimate that evening. Russell provided us with a number of vendors to pick our tile, bathroom fixtures, etc. Having done many projects ourselves, we preferred to use vendors that we had worked with before. We did visit Russell’s office to pick out our flooring. Russell had all the samples for us to look at, which was extremely convenient. We had also contracted with Russell to replace two 50 gallon water heaters. During the course of the project, we decided to get a Tankless Water Heater system. Since I felt this was specialized product, I chose to have a third party install it instead of Cyprus Construction. Our basement has a support pole that we wanted to blend in with the finished basement as much as possible. I showed Van a picture of a Center Pole that had been modified into a bookshelf. Van was able to take the picture and turn our pole into that beautiful bookshelf. That is real skill! Russell also saved us some money by having us obtain the building permits. He prepared all the paper work, we just when to the County Offices and got them. It was quite easy. Russell and Van always took care of scheduling the county inspections, so the work could continue smoothly without any stoppage. During the course of the effort, we made a number of Change Orders to the contract, either from our need to add work, or to reduce work. Russell was very easy to work with when we needed these changes made. He promptly submitted a Change Order by email that day with the cost adjustment of the Change Order and the total cost change for the contract. I really appreciated this, as we were always on the same page of the work effort and contract cost. Our finished basement and bathroom are beautiful! We love showing it off to friends!
