These days, most of us turn to the Internet to find what we want to buy and whom we want to buy from, but the real reason you are here is for the information. And the most important information we can give you is why our company is the best in Northern Virginia.

A very important question to ask is “what kind of product should I buy for my home?” When it comes to choosing the right product, Elk Remodeling is the expert. We don’t work with just one manufacturer. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. We work with many different vendors and manufacturers to ensure that the product you receive is the perfect fit for you and your home.

We all know that high-pressure sales tactics and fly-by-night contractors plague the remodeling industry as a whole. Elk Remodeling is far from either. With over 13 years in business coupled with a straightforward approach on sales, we work don’t just work for our clients; we work with them.

Our products are chosen after real research and on-site testing to make sure that this exact window or that exact siding panel is the one we think will work the best and longest for your home. And our dedication doesn’t cease there: Our installation teams have been with us for over eight years, allowing us to offer the best warranties in the business. And in the small chance that you may need a repair or replacement in the future, you can rest easy knowing that the same team that installed your products one, three, even five years ago will be the same team assessing your product usually within 48 hours.

So Why Elk?

Elk Remodeling has been serving its customers since 1995, with over 5,800 clients and all positive feedback. In fact, we’ve never had one registered complaint with the Better Business Bureau or any other agency.

This is actually pretty important when it comes to judging a company. In business, we’ve all had those clients that were very difficult to work with. Especially when it comes to the type of work we offer, being very technical, including preparing for and ordering the products, verifying customers requests and mid-project alterations, installing the products and ensuring a happy customer with a product that will last for years. Yet, 5,800 different clients have only ever had nice things to say. We’d like to think that this is pretty telling of how we do business and how we treat you as the customer.

So, what does it mean when you call the BBB and find a company with three or more, even satisfied, complaints? It means that the company needed an outside agency to tell them their clients were unhappy and they should fix the problem. Here at Elk Remodeling, our clients don’t have to tell us twice if there is something they don’t like or want changed; most of the time, they don’t even have to tell us at all. Besides, when it comes to our projects, we believe the product is only 40% of the project; it’s the way the products are installed and the way the customer feels afterward that makes all the difference.

So, with all this in mind, let’s talk about our pricing. We’re the first to admit we aren’t the cheapest in the industry, nor are we the most expensive. We work hard to select only the best manufacturers with the best products, present our customers with all the facts to help them make an informed decision and ensure that the least amount of money has been spent for a top-quality product that will make our customers happy and last for years.

Before moving on to a cheaper contractor, keep in mind, when it comes to Elk Remodeling, you get what you pay for. A savings of a couple hundred dollars on a window can cost you ten or even twenty times this in the future if it was a shoddy window installed quickly and improperly. That won’t save you money on your utility bill and it will be a headache and hassle in the near future.

We don’t pick up new crews to handle our client load. It’s true, we’re very busy, but our clients are willing to wait an extra couple of days to know they are getting an expert choice of product and a superior installation.

When it comes to warranties, we’ve already said we offer some of the best. Many of our competitors will offer “lifetime warranties,” which in the state of Virginia is seven years. When it comes to our relationship with our customers, we don’t bend the truth to make a buck, we tell them the facts, so they can make their own decision: We offer 30% fuel savings guarantee on all vinyl replacement windows we sell. We will match any comparable product’s price from other true remodeling companies.

We never match a price given by a fly-by-night contractor working out of his truck because we’re not really comparing apples-to-apples. He isn’t offering the unmatched quality of our products, our service, our installation and the reward that we can. Everyone that works on your home in insured, licensed and bonded, leaving you with no liability.

A recent study has shown that 90% of remodeling companies nationwide fail in the first five years. We've been going strong for over thirteen years. If you have an old Yellow Pages® book from a few years ago, randomly call through some remodeling companies and let us know what you find. It’s important to know because if something does go wrong, it’s best to contact the company that did the work to get help. Most contractors refuse to work on another company’s improperly installed projects because they don’t want the liability of a botched job that needs to be completely redone.

What happens when things are installed improperly?
NOTE: The pictures below are NOT Elk Remodeling's work!

SIDING.

TRIM CAPPING.

All the boards that were capped improperly, making the capping act like a gutter that never drained and ended up rotting all the wood it was intended to protect. Remember the hailstorms? Everyone that used a fly-by-night contractor that came out of the blue and used unskilled craftsmanship is dealing with that exact problem. We get at least a call or two every week about boards that have rotted out behind the capping or their fascia board just falls off while the gutter is still attached. The worst part of this is that the board that has rotted can spread rot to every other board it touches causing several thousand dollars in damage making it not worth the few hundred dollars they saved a few years back. See picture.

WINDOWS.

(PICTURE COMING SOON) Windows begin to leak air and water, capping is done incorrectly, frames and sills rot out, windows fog up and seals fail, all because the crews didn’t install them properly.
