Mike Garcia Construction

Estimate was reasonable and well explained. Did not contract for work due to local regulations.

They were excellent. They were incredible. Their program manager took care of everything. I would tell him what I needed and he would tell the contractors to do it. I didn't have to micro manage; like the electrician, he didn't do what we wanted initially and didn't want to come back fix it but the project manager made him come back to fix it. You have to have leverage with them because they do a lot of business with these guys so as an individual they might say "I'm not going to help you" but with Mike Garcia they do business with them so they do it. They did a great job. They did the whole basement and they did a fantastic job. The sink was just a minor thing. I would recommend them to anyone.

They are fantastic. The warranty was gone and they still did the work at cost, which they didn't have to do. They go above and beyond to make sure that you are a satisfied customer.

The team from Garcia's were always professional and very friendly and approachable. We encountered problems that were beyond the scope of what we knew to be wrong at the outset. They kept us informed and consulted with us at every turn. They sourced all the additional help necessary and kept the project on schedule. We wouldn't hesitate to contract with them again.

The letter (attached below) should give everyone a clear look into how we viewed this company. From beginning to end we were treated more like family than customers. This has to be the most professional organization in the trade. They were simply amazing, not only in what they did but more importantly how they did it. And don't believe for a minute that this project went smoothly for them. Once the demolition part was finished they discovered all sorts of unforeseen and unanticipated complications. And it was here that you really begin to appreciate the depth of their expertise. The Mike Garcia Company actually has several divisions: custom homes, commercial development, and remolding. So no matter what comes up they will have someone they can bring over who been there...done that. And they worked with us every step of the way to insure that they are providing exactly the look we were striving for. We could not be more pleased. Here is the follow up letter we sent: Hi Michael; Things are close to wrapping up here...only a few small items left like painting, landscaping, and sheet rock to go before the project is fully completed. And since we are so close to finishing I thought I would pass along a few observations and comments while they are still fresh in my mind. Firstly, the deck and under-deck are absolutely beautiful...a true tribute to your vision, planning, and the standards of the Mike Garcia Company. Diane and I could not be more pleased with the results! At times the challenges faced seemed overwhelming with all the and quot;gotcha'sand quot; that were encountered in the course of completing this project. And here it all came down to your crew. We will be eternally grateful to Mike Mott for his level headed supervision and to Billy Neff and Ryan Deboer for their astonishing craftsmanship and dedication to perfection. Quite frankly we do not know that individuals like Billy and Ryan still existed in this industry. This project truly belonged to them from start to finish and we are in awe of not only their ability and skills but also their character. If ever a Garcia team qualified for special recognition this is the team! Every time we are on the deck our thoughts will go back to how your team brought 'the magic' to this project...it is the ultimate compliment. With gratitude, Bob and Diane

Their team of workers have been excellent, very courteous, and clean.

The best thing about Mike Garcia Construction is that they stand behind their work 100%. Whenever there was anything to work through, their Project Manager - Henry took care of it - we did not have the stress of convincing people to meet our specifications. If something was not what we wanted at first, Mike Garcia updated it to fit our needs. For example, the carpet-layers initially did not carpet the inside of the office closet. Mike Garcia asked them to come back and do this, and they did it immediately and well - no discussion, no debate. It was just done as we had asked and as we had wanted. Also, the electrician at one point turned off our existing dual light switch because he did not think we wanted it - but we did! I mentioned this to Henry, and the electrician came back out and fixed it for no extra charge. We felt we could really talk to Mike Garcia's people, including the contractors that were part of the process. They were courteous, worked well and quickly, and left the place cleaner than they found it. We were initially really nervous about remodeling an entire floor of our house. We were also on a deadline because the basement had to be finished before my daughter was born. Mike Garcia came through for us, and exceeded all of our expectations. A few weeks ago, 6-years after our basement remodeling project was completed, the sink in our basement started to pull away from the wall a little bit. It turns out that the plumber had chosen not to bolt it in, thinking that the caulk would hold (which it did for several years). Anyway, I figured it was a long-shot, but I called up Mike Garcia to ask if they could help? They came out the same week, assessed what was needed, then brought in a plumber and fixed the sink within a week. At no charge. It was amazing! To see a vendor really stand behind their work like that is rare in this market. Mike Garcia Construction has integrity. And they are really nice to work with. I find most vendors to be a hassle - Mike Garcia is a pleasure to do business with! 6 years later, we still LOVE our basement. It is the nicest part of our house. Someday we will have Mike Garcia remodel the rest of our house!

Still in early stages , will repost after completion.

He did not seem interested and did not receive our phone calls. He seemed interested at first and come out here once or twice. Then we had a house fire. He came out here twice and talked as if he knew what he was doing. Eventually, he became disinterested and didn't call us back.

There were some bumps along the way. Their vanity provider was totally incompetent. It took three deliveries to get the cabinets that were ordered. I did feel that they were a little heavy on the nickel and diming of parts of the project. They were insistant that they had to charge .90 cent per square foot for painting the bathroom a color other than white. After all the problems with the vanity they did credit the painting charges back as well as the cost and install of the crown moulding.Other than that the company was professional and went out of their way to make it right and provide a finished room that we are happy with. Their people were fun, courteous, prompt and never failed to clean up after themselves. I would not hesitate to use them again for projects and we will be calling them again.

He's a great builder and he did a great job. His price was good. It was a custom house and he built it with the right specifications. He worked with us and he had a lot of creativity. He was very good. We would use him again in the future if need be.

I met Mike Garcia back in 1984, when I was looking for a builder to build my first home in Woodbridge. He had recently started his own company and prior had worked for another custom builder that I was already acquainted with. He came highly recommended by this builder and other homeowners that had used him to build their homes. I met with Mike to discuss the details of my home and immediately felt at ease with the knowledge and expertise he displayed through the entire process. At the time, I was extremely busy with my work, had two small children, and my wife worked, and I needed someone whom could manage and supervise this process without spending a lot of my time for Q and A's. With the help of Mike, his wife Robin, and their exceptional staff, the construction process was extremely pleasurable and easy. The quality of materials and workmanship far superseded my expectations. I have used Mike's company for additional add-ons to my home and have always been pleased with his prompt response and timely completions. I again, in 2007, contracted with Mike Garcia Construction to build a "Custom" home in the Haymarket area. Once again the construction phases and selection processes went like clockwork. The awards and achievements his company has received shows in the quality and construction of the house I now reside in. I would recommend to anyone, who is the market of purchasing or building a new home, to take the time and talk to this company before making your final decision.
