Thanks, Becky.
I was very impressed with the speed and precision of Elk's crew.  They were knowledgeable, friendly, careful, and took measures to keep my home and property clean and free of debris during the project.  I will certainly look to Elk first for all my future projects and will recommend them to others in our area.  Tim and Mike are also very friendly, professional, and happy to take time out of their day to answer questions and address concerns.  We are also pleased with the value of the product we purchased.  The windows are sturdy and easy to manipulate.  Aesthetically, they gave our home quite a nice face lift.  Thank you Elk!

Best Regards, 
Eva

The Elk Remodeling team is a first class operation. They installed over 20 new windows in our home flawlessly. The installation process was fast and efficient. The difference in energy efficiency is amazing. I would recommend Elk Remodeling whole heartedly.

Dear Mr. Shellnutt,

 

I wanted to personally thank you for the outstanding service I received with my recent home remodeling project.  I am thoroughly satisfied with the replacement windows that were installed. I immediately noticed a difference in the comfort level in my house and am sure there will be a savings with heating and cooling.  I did quite a bit of research on contractors for this project – and I found your no nonsense approach to providing recommendations and the cost estimate refreshing in comparison to the other  'sales' pitches.  And the estimated cost of the products and installation was certainly reasonable and perfectly reflected my pricepoint for the work. Further Elk's assistance with providing the documentation and samples for ensuring the replacement windows met the design standards required by Reston HOA was extremely helpful.  With some of the delays experienced coordinating with the HOA, I was certainly appreciative of Elk's customer service in providing the required measurements and sample materials when needed. The installation was extremely smooth with the crew completing the job just as expected.  Both interior and exterior installation and finishing work was very well done.  The crew was professional and appeared to take pride in their work.  And at the end of the job, they ensured that the debris was cleared    outside as well as cleaning the work areas on the inside of the home. All in all, I was completely satisfied with Elk's service and installation.  I will certainly consider Elk Remodeling for future work as I know that I  can expect superior product and professional service – and would recommend to friends who are considering home projects.  Thanks Again!


Sincerely,

Tripp R Reston, VA


2009 Testimonials.

Dear Tim,

You installed new windows in my house this past January. Last Saturday, we had an energy audit performed on our home, with a blower door and infrared camera. The inspector told us that he often goes into houses with brand new windows that are leaking air like crazy, but that ours are excellent. He didn't find a single issue with our windows, and told us we had the second most air-tight house he has ever seen. He even requested the name of the company that installed them, so you may be seeing some referrals.

Just wanted to pass on the compliments for you and your crew.

Regards,
Beth B, — Herndon, VA


Dear Tim and Allan,

I wanted to thank you guys for a job well done. Your team was very good and I never felt overwhelmed that I had workers in the house. We love the bathroom and look forward to getting the shower doors in. Please feel free to use us as a reference.

Kimberley M., — Fairfax Station, VA


Dear Tim,

I wanted you to know how pleased I am with the way the bathrooms turned out! They turned out beautiful; your company did an outstanding job! Allan did a great job with the design change in the master bathroom; his idea to open up the bathroom to the adjoining hall (combining the areas) making it more spacious and light was nothing short of brilliant! The team of people he brought in worked very diligently and were meticulous with everything they did. They arrived on time every day and worked nonstop to complete the project, making sure to clean up behind themselves everyday. Everything turned out perfect from the beautiful tile work, to the cabinets... the walls look like they were always that way from the beginning. Allan was on top of everything, checking to make sure it was all done right. Everyone was very professional including all the workers; Allan, who did a great job in all the coordination, and Becky, who always got what I needed right away. Your company, Elk Remodeling, went way above and beyond of what I expected. I am very happy to have the bathrooms finished and can say with complete honesty that they have greatly improved the value of the house. I look forward to working with your company again with any other future projects. I wish your company continued success!

Kim W — Springfield, VA


Tim,

I love my windows and especially the excellent service provided by you and your entire crew. Many many thanks for answering all my numerous questions and putting up with the ridiculous ones! It was greatly appreciated.

By spring I will probably be ready for a new front door. Also, a friend of mine may be contacting you for windows sometime in the future.

Rich & Maria — Chantilly, VA

Mike came by today and installed the new kitchen door & window hardware. He helped me with another handyman job unrelated to the Elk work and would not take any more money. He made my day! I have been so pleased with the jobs you all have done to date. There will be more as I settle into the new house.

My thanks to you and everyone else who made the remodeling projects so positive for me.

Donna V. — McLean, VA

Both my wife and I wanted to once again extend our appreciation for the quality work and professionalism that you and your team provided us in the replacement of siding, trim, gutters, garage door, and windows for our home. The entire process was a pleasure due to the highly competent and courteous Elk Remodeling team and especially Mike. The professional Elk Remodeling approach continues even today; how many remodelers come back after the completed installation and ask "Is everything OK?" and "is there anything else we can do?" and "just give us a call if you need anything." Certainly Elk Remodeling stands alone in every category.

The process of replacing the siding and windows in our home was easy and painless, from the very beginning. Your knowledge and experience of the products and vendors was insightful and your tailored recommendations based upon our many requirements (including cost) enabled us to quickly select the right products for us. The time and patience you extended us to make sure that we had the right colors for our home was also appreciated – we never felt pressured into making any decision. Once the installation began, it was quick and unobtrusive. I was highly impressed when, in the middle of the installation, a day before a major snow storm, the installation crew came out and picked up all the debris around the house to ensure that our kids were not injured if they went out to play in the snow (they did this, despite the fact that they thoroughly cleaned after each day's installation). I can't talk specifically about the window installation since I was traveling, but Susan assures me that process was amazing quick and painles as well. Finally, when we did the final inspection, all items (nothing major) were quickly addressed to my satisfaction. Our home looks like new and we are realizing the functional benefits of the new siding (and insulation), as well as the new windows. We immediately experienced an energy savings due to a reduction in heat / cooling loss.

We highly recommend Elk Remodeling to anyone considering exterior siding or window replacement.

Scott & Susan T. — Fairfax, Virginia

Was your job installed in a professional manner? Absolutely.

Mike D. — Reston, Virginia

Thank you! We almost gave up on this project until one phone call from Tim. We appreciate your excellent customer service and have passed our many business cards to our neighbors!

Michelle R. — Fairfax, Virginia

It is difficult to get repairs done when you are 2,000 miles away. Elk Remodeling responded promptly to my request for an estimate and included photos with the estimate. They also identified some additional repairs that were required and substantiated this with a photograph. I contracted with them and they promptly scheduled the repair while I was back in Virginia.

I am completely happy with their work, their professional approach, and how my repairs were accomplished and their employee Mike Inverso (who performed the work). Accordingly, I would certainly place Elk Remodeling at the top of the Long & Foster home repair list.

Jeff S. - Centreville, Virginia

The window crew blasted into Lovettsville today and did a bang-up job both in the installation and the cleanup. 10 out of 10 for that. I'm very pleased with the quality of the work and the attitude and approach of the guys. I have not had a chance to have a good walk around inside and out yet but, based on what I have seen so far, they did a great job.

Laurie J. - Lovettsville, Virginia

Our sincere thanks to Elk Remodeling for the outstanding job it did on our recent kitchen remodeling. Although we were without the use of our kitchen for approximately two weeks, the wait was well worth it. The kitchen looks great and we couldn’t be more pleased.
It goes without saying that with any indoor renovation project there will be a substantial amount dust that makes it way into rooms which were not directly affected by the renovation.

However, homeowners should know that once their renovation is completed, Elk Remodeling follows-up by sending in a professional cleaning crew to take care of all that resultant mess by vacuuming, dusting, wet moping, etc. all areas of the home directly and indirectly affected by the renovation project. What a relief to know that the amount of work left for the homeowner is minimal once the project has been completed. I should also point out that in the past several years we have used Elk Remodeling to install new windows and vinyl siding, as well as a new roof.

The fact that we called upon Elk Remodeling for our kitchen renovation speaks for itself and once againwe received the excellent, personalized service we have come to expect. For those homeowners who are considering having exterior or interior work done, we highly recommend Elk Remodeling. We think you’ll be happy you did.

Additional Comments:
My husband and I have never worked with a crew as professional and polite as those from your company. Additionally, Tim and Mike are by far 2 of the nicest reps we have ever met and are truly a credit to the profession.

Susan P., Fairfax, VA

I can’t begin to say enough positive things about working with Tim and his team at Elk Remodeling. Their honesty, fair pricing, customer service and quality work is an exception in the crowded field of building contractors. Our relationship, whether it be conducted initially from overseas by Internet and telephone, or in face-to-face meetings has always been productive and based on mutual trust. I would recommend them to any homeowner looking to remodel their home, both exterior and interior, as they did with our residence recently.

In March 2008 we learned we would be returning to our home in Northern Virginia after serving our country abroad for eight years. Having no locally based family in the area to coordinate remodeling we began to search for prospective contractors via the Internet and through the Better Business Bureau and consumer advocacy groups. Fortunately for us we were able to identify Elk Remodeling among many prospective candidates as the best choice.

We then worked with Tim and provided him with a scope of work that included replacement of all windows and exterior siding, installation of new flooring throughout the home, remodeling of four bathrooms, and finally a kitchen remodel. Working with a contractor from the other side of the globe would seem to be a daunting task, and most contractors would opt out of working with such a client, so it is a true testament to Tim’s work ethic, honesty and integrity that he stuck with us from the beginning. Tim’s always helpful demeanor combined with his personal guidance walked us through different options, always pointing out potential problems and suggesting corrective measures. His patience helped us achieve a viable plan of action at fair prices for quality materials and work. The truly incredible part of it all is that most of the contracts were done from thousands of miles away via e-mail, faxes and telephone calls.

With the contracts signed, Tim worked closely with our property management company and the renters to coordinate exterior installation of windows and siding, paying attention to quality work in sealing our home with exterior insulation and sealing gaps around windows. The result is an energy efficient house that will save us money over the years and a low maintenance but beautiful exterior.

I have nothing but praise for Tim’s work crews. Always polite and courteous, on time and hard working, they always checked with neighbors to ensure it was okay to work in the evenings. They set to work laying new tile and wood floors, redoing all the bathroom plumbing, upgrading our electrical system, painting the interior, knocking out walls and refinishing our existing floors. During our visits to the home, Tim was always present. When we requested additional work to be performed or wanted items corrected, Tim would walk us through the process of choosing materials, presenting us with reasonable options, pricing it out, and then getting the work done, still managing to keep the projects on schedule.

We were so pleased with the quality of work and Tim’s supportive demeanor during the initial remodeling phase that we decided to work with him to redo the kitchen as well. Once more, Tim worked hand-in-hand with us through each step of the way, meeting us at Home Depot to pick out cabinets and fixtures, going over the different price options and giving us a fair price for the project. With marble counters, new appliances, a tile floor and quality wood cabinets, all installed by Tim’s crews, we have our dream kitchen at last.

Elk Remodeling is a dependable, honest and hard working company that values its customers, a direct reflection of the character of their leader at the top, Mr. Tim Shellnutt. We put our trust and confidence in his hands and he delivered to us what amounts to a whole new home for my family of six. For any remodeling projects you may have, if you are looking for quality work at a fair price that will go the extra mile for its customers, my highest recommendation would be to work through Elk Remodeling and Tim. We certainly feel we chose the best contractor in the region to fulfill the dreams for our home.

All questions and concerns were addressed satisfactorily. The work was done as stated in the contract in a very efficient manner. All workers were very pleasant to deal with. Thanks again!!

Celia P., Ashburn, VA

You are the best! The forty-two energy-efficient windows and two air-tight entry doors that you installed have made a huge difference in the comfort of our home, not to mention reduced our heating/cooling bills. I know it was not an easy job to find replacement windows for our tudor style house. As you remember, we had to have diamond grids in BROWN to match our trim and no one else was able to find them. You searched diligently to track down the perfect windows in the perfect color at a great price and we will be forever grateful. Our house is now draft free and toasty warm as winter approaches.

I also want to thank you for the excellent referrals you steered us to for a deck replacement and kitchenette design/build. Both A.J. Shadid and Paul Shirley, respectively, have been extremely knowledgeable, personable and totally professional in carrying out our latest projects.

Please know that we will continue to consult Elk Remodeling for all our future home improvement needs. Moreover, we are adding your company to our neighborhood newsletter’s list of recommended contractors. As I said before, YOU ARE THE BEST!

P.S. The “Thanks for Your Business” basket of goodies that appeared on our doorstep last month was certainly above and beyond and very much appreciated.

P.P.S. Thanks for the T-shirts!

Carol and James M. - Fairfax, Virginia

We’re writing to thank you for the excellent work your company did in replacing our old windows. Max and his team showed up at 8 a.m. as promised and in no time at all had our old windows out, the new ones in and the trim work wrapped. The result is amazing! The windows are not only beautiful, but they’ve made it noticeably quieter inside our house. Your guys cleaned up better than any other contractor that’s been in our house. Some contractors leave a mess behind for the homeowner to clean up, but your guys were very professional and respectful of our home. We appreciate that. We’ll definitely be recommending you to our neighbors and friends.

Matt and Nancy F. - Sterling, Virginia

"My husband and I just wanted to provide some feedback on the job Elk and Paul Shirley just completed for us. We are very pleased with the quality of the work, and how everything went in terms of time and budget. The tile floor looks great, the interior doors all came out great, and the painting was satisfactory too. We will be back in touch later in the summer with the second half of our remodeling job to get another quote, go over timing, and go over scope -

Additionally, we wanted to pass on that we really liked working with Paul. He was very direct, returned all phone calls quickly, and had good suggestions on what to do for the doors, paint to use, etc. We did get quotes from two other general contractors/remodeling companies before deciding to go with Elk, and just as an FYI, you guys compared very favorably with the other two. When we did walk throughs with each firm as part of the estimating process, it was quite clear Paul was the most knowledgable/experienced of the three contractors, and that his suggestions on what to do for the door installation would lead to high quality work at a reasonable cost. He also was the most professional of the three firms in terms of keeping appointments, returning an estimate promptly, and going over details of the estimate thoroughly (explaining different cost components, the rational for replacing the door jams as well as the doors themselves, etc).

That's it - we just wanted to give you some feedback on the job in general, on the service provided (knowledgable and professional), and how you guys compared with the two other firms who bid on the same work. We'll be in touch in a few months, and wish you good luck with your business in the meantime."

- Jamie and Matt B. - Burke, Virginia

"You don't have to buy windows from Elk Remodeling to get great service. I was searching the web for information on Alside and Windjammer windows when I ran across Elk Remodeling. I searched the web site and got some good info on the windows I was looking for and even got a on-line quote immediately from the site. Then I realized they are in Fairfax Virginia and I live in Kansas City Missouri. I also noticed they had a email address so I figured I would take a shot and email them and ask their opinion of some windows. Well, first I was a little shocked to find out that the email address is actually valid and then I got a response back within a few hours from the president Tim Shellnutt. He even called me and discussed my window situation with me and gave me some great advice as to how to find a good installer. We emailed each other several times and Tim knew from my first email that I lived in Kansas City and that I would not be buying windows from Elk Remodeling. He responded timely to everyone of my emails and was a big help in helping me decide which window to buy. Now that's what I call service, helping a customer that is not even going to buy from you. Thanks so much for your help Tim."

- Nick D. - Kansas City, Missouri

"We are writing to let you know how pleased we are with our new windows. From the very beginning we received nothing less than the utmost professional and attentive service to our questions and concerns.
Please convey our sincere thanks and appreciation to Mike and Max. The crew was exceptionally skilled, meticulous, and conscientious in all their work. Max's craftsmanship in replacing all the rotten wood and attention to detail is to be commended.
Again, it was a real pleasure to work with your company; we have, and will continue, to recommend you to our friends and neighbors."

"Just wanted to drop you a note to let you know how much we are enjoying the new windows Elk Remodeling installed for us. The windows are easy to open, clean and have noticeably reduced the noise we hear from the cars going past. We were equally as pleased with the installation. The installers came by, and started right to work. They were polite, professional and did a great job. They cleaned up afterwards both inside and out. Overall, we are pleased with the work your company did for us and as we consider other home remodeling projects we will keep your number handy."

"We like to extend out thanks to Elk Remodeling for ensuring our “remodeling” experience was conducted in the most professional manner. We are pleased with both the quality of work and the professional demeanor of the workers making for an overall pleasant experience. We were notified in a timely manner of any rescheduling and we were impressed with the responsiveness of your teams follow-up items. As you know, the “storm-chasers” barraged us after the hailstorm, making the selection of a contractor quite difficult. But, after meeting Jon Parsons and Chris Sullivan we were comfortable in our decision – and Elk came through. We are quite confident that in the future the responsiveness of Elk will continue through our warranty period. We continue to recommend Elk to you friends, family and neighbors."

"I wanted to write a letter to let you know how pleased I was overall w/ the service I received from Elk Remodeling. From the very first time my wife and I met Chris Sullivan and John Parsons, we could tell there was something about your company. Our area had just recently been hit by a hailstorm and we were bombarded with hail chasers every day. It wasn’t until a couple of weeks later we heard from your company. We appreciated you giving us time to assess the situation w/ our insurance company before coming the first time. Chris and John made us feel comfortable from the start. They were pleasant to deal with, took time to explain everything in Lehman’s terms and answered all of the questions we had. After the siding had been installed, there were a couple of things we had questions about so I called Chris and John. The next day, one the crewmembers came by our house. With no questions asked they fixed the areas of concern to your satisfaction. In this day and time, when it’s hard to get good customer service, it was a pleasure doing business with Elk Remodeling. I would definitely recommend your company to family, friends and associates."

They arrived on time, were professional and courteous, and very skilled. They cleaned the entire work area before departing/ I am delighted with every aspect of the work.

“We were extremely impressed with Mike. He always called to check in and made many visits during the construction phase. Mike is professional and he and his crew did a fantastic job. We agree that going with Elk was a great decision. Thanks!”

“Very nice job! The caulking is beautiful – the trim is great. It looks very nice! Thanks! We love the windows. Completed in about 2 hours – Looks better than I expected.”

“We are extremely pleased with the work he contracted for through your company. The vinyl and trim installer is undoubtedly an extremely professional person who takes great pride in his work. As an example, he called our attention to the fact that two different widths of trim had been delivered. He first followed up with a call to someone over him and then asked if we would accept the trim that differed by a quarter of an inch in width. We said yes. So he made the two widths did not touch one another. The house looks great. All of the job related debris was cleaned up when the job was completed. Neighbors drive or walk by to look at and say how nice the house looks. Some stop to inquire about your company and how to get in touch with you. Congratulations on a job well done.”

“This is just a short note to express my satisfaction with Elk Remodeling for the job your company recently completed installing two Ultramaxx windows at my condo in Reston. The windows definitely are an improvement over my previous drafty windows. I can already see an improvement in the temperature of the room where the new windows are installed. I also am impressed with the design of the windows and the easy maintenance. Beyond the windows, I also would like to extend my thanks to the Elk Remodeling staff and installers. The salesperson who handled my account was professional and courteous. He also followed up after the job was completed to ensure that there were no problems. Meanwhile, I was very impressed by your installers. They went the extra step to make sure that no messes were left behind. They also were courteous and quick. I appreciated that they were able to accommodate my work schedule by agreeing to install my windows late in the day and thereby minimize the amount of time needed to take off from work. I also was surprised and touched by the nice gift basket that I received from Elk thanking me for my business. Please feel free to use my name in the future as a reference for your company.”

“Over the past 7 years I have used Elk Remodeling for three home remodeling projects. To use them three times should speak for itself. The jobs included: Replacement of the windows in my home, installation of a deck on the rear of my house, complete replacement of all siding and guttering on my house. Simply put, they are reliable, they do use quality materials, and really do have quality workman, they get the job done (they don’t disappear and then show back up when they feel like it), they clean up and they are gone. You can’t ask for more than that. If you are looking for quality products, quality installation, and a fair price, I highly recommend them! I initially chose Elk because I thought they would produce the quality work they proclaim, and get it done when they said they would. They did not let me down. I don’t believe they will let you down either. As a side bar – if you’re considering window replacement, do it! (I also had a new heating & air conditioning system installed in my home as it was approximately 18 years at the time) and I really did realize a 35% reduction on my utility bills. Now that I’ve replaced the siding, with the insulation that Elk uses, I can lower the heat on the thermostat and raise it for cooling as the house really does retain the internal temperature much better.”

“First, we would like to say that upon reviewing several different window and siding companies, we were most impressed with Elk Remodeling. After comparing all of the products and pricing, Elk Remodeling came in with the best product at the lowest and best price. We dealt with every level of personnel in your company and at no time did we feel that we were not dealing with first class professionals. Out questions and concerns were answered promptly and never at any one time did we feel that we were a burden or nuisance. Upon signing our agreement with Elk, our products were delivered within the time frame that was agreed and installed within that same time frame. The installers were at all times courteous and very mindful of our little ones that were running around. We would like to express our sincere appreciation of the professional mannerism that your company has displayed from the first in-home demonstration to the last piece of trash that was picked to the last piece of trash that was picked up before leaving our home. Our home while being remodeled attracted several drive-by stops to neighbors wanting to have more information about your company. With great pride and excitement, we had no problem in referring your company to any one of those individuals. It is our great pleasure to continue to refer your company to anyone who is looking to remodel their home.

We have been so impressed with the new look, that we completely updated our landscaping to make our home even more visible and desirable. Thank you for your upfront confidence and commitment in your products that made up chose you over all the other competitors that we interviewed with. We already had a home that we enjoyed living in, but now we have a home that we will treasure and love for years to come.”

You exemplified excellent customer service techniques which I hardly ever see in today’s business world so I felt you needed to be commended for it. It’s unfortunate more people can’t be as helpful and courteous as you so feel special in that capacity. Again, thank you for all you’ve done, I really enjoyed working with you on this project for my home.”

“On behalf of Emmanuel Baptist Church, I would like to commend Eric Leimsieder for his extremely high degree of professionalism during his presentation of his bid to replace the roof and gutters on Emmanuel Baptist Church.

From the initial contact with Eric, he showed a high degree of professionalism, courtesy, honesty and willingness to go beyond the normal expectations during our business dealings. Coupled with the aforementioned and pleasant personality, Eric erased any doubts that we might have had taking on such a large project. Additionally, the entire crew deserves our thanks as well for a job well done.

Eric is a valuable asset to your organization, and will always be given an opportunity to bid on any and all jobs in the future.”

The following letter was sent to the Better Business Bureau:

“Elk Remodeling Inc. was contracted recently to replace the entire roof and all guttering on the Emmanuel Baptist Church building.

From the initial contact with the sales person, Mr. Eric Leimsieder, Residential/Commerical Project Coordinator, to completion of the project, we found Elk Remodeling Inc. to be professional, sensitive and responsive to our needs. The work itself was done in a timely and professional manner. They not only performed the task at hand, replacing the roof and gutters, they also cleaned the area of all debris created by the project. A physical inspection was done by Mr. Leimsieder to ensure the work was completed on time, correctly and that Emmanuel was satisfied with the finished product.

It is without any hesitation on our part that we recommend this company and their staff to any prospective customer.”

2006 Testimonials.

 

“Elk Remodeling is the DEFINITION of “professional.” Beautiful work-done to my satisfaction, by people who care. It looks like a new home. And I’m already saving money on energy, and my house is cleaner…and quieter. I definitely got my money’s worth…and it’s already paying for itself!”

-Buzz Burbank of the nationally-syndicated Don and Mike Show, 2006


“Eric made the choice easy for me. So professional and helpful. Patient too. I will give you an A+ rating!

Eric, my roof looks wonderful and I am enjoying the contents of the gift basket very much. I will wear the hat when I’m working in the yard. One neighbor needs a new roof and has asked for your name. Surely there will be more. Thank you!”

- Donna Viscardi, Vienna, 2006


“I commend your staff and the work crew that completed these efforts. The workmanship is of the highest quality. The work crew went out of their way to ensure that neighbors in my town house community were not inconvenienced or disrupted in their normal activities during the work phase. Your timeliness in completing this work project is especially appreciated. This is truly a positive experience.”

- Jeffery Porter, Annandale, 2006


“This letter is to let you know how very pleased I was with the service that Elk Remodeling provided to me in furnishing and installing new windows and sliding glass doors in my condominium unit in ---. The custom order was filled in a timely fashion and the installation was accomplished in one afternoon in a very professional and efficient manner. After they had finished, the manager of the job informed me that the installers had noticed that one f the window sashes was cracked and that Elk would order me a new window and install it. The crack was not large (I might not have noticed it at all if it hadn’t been pointed out to me) and I was very grateful for Elk’s professionalism. In addition, I was not able to figure out how to put up the window blinds again and, on his own time, Mike Inverso came to the condo to put them up for me (this involved drilling, which I would definitely not have been able to figure out how to do!).

The quality of the windows and the sliding glass doors is excellent. Wonderful insulation is provided from weather temperature fluctuations and, during the drenching rains of the past month, when I heard complaints from some people about leaks, my home was dry. As I have had problems with leaks in the previous homes where I’ve lived and have consequently become sensitized to the issue, I delight in not having to worry about them in my present home.”

- Kathleen Strother, Reston, 2006


“Problem with garage door tracking because the installer hooked to the old monitor, which was out of alignment. Mike handled the problem professionally.”

- Hempel, Herndon, 2006


“My wife and I are extremely pleased with out new windows @ 4009 Chestnut Street. We were most impressed with pre-installation, service, installation and pre-installation service. We will not hesitate to recommend Elk Remodeling, to our neighbors and friends.”

- Patrick Kelly, Fairfax, 2006


“I would just like to take this to tell you how wonderful your company and employees have been to us. From the salesperson to the installers, every member of your staff has been of extreme caliber and exhibited a level of competence that is unmatched.

First, the salesperson, Will, told us about the windows, answered every question we had but never once pushed us into any decision. He was very knowledgeable, easy to feel comfortable being around and with making such a large purchase. We had all of the windows replaced and each one was measured, by Max, and fit perfectly! Amazingly to us, the job was completed in a single day without any problems. Ater, we had the siding, shutters, and gutters replaced around the entire house.The job again was completed quickly, beautifully and the yard was cleaned up daily. The installers were very helpful and friendly, ensuring continually that we were pleased. The salesperson called or stopped by on a frequent basis to make sure our satisfaction never ceased.

We have had so many people stop by and compliment us on how beautiful the house looks. Elk Remodeling is the ONLY company we will ever recommend to others for their home improvement jobs! Thank you so much for your wonderful services and incredible staff! Keep up the good work.”

- Chelbi Cole, Burke, 2006

“We were very impressed with window installation. Exceptional care was taken with roof (we are in a town home and have extensive landscaping).”

- Eichorn, Springfield, 2005


“I am writing to express my great satisfaction with the work your window installers accomplished in replacing 14 windows and creating a15th window in an older home we purchased with the intent to renovate. From the outset, my wife and I were very comfortable. We cannot get over how much improved the look of the property is and have already noticed a marked improvement in subtleties such as temperature control inside the property. Further, we were very impressed with the efficiency of the work crew on the day of installation, their professionalism, and the overall quality of the installed product. We absolutely would recommend Elk Remodeling, Inc. to any potential customers.

Thanks to the entire crew at Elk Remodeling, Inc. for a very pleasant experience in what could have been a very stressful endeavor.”

“Very nice job! The caulking is beautiful – the trim is great. It looks very nice! Thanks! We love the windows. Completed in about 2 hours – Looks better than I expected.”

- DeWitt, Centreville, 2005


“We are extremely pleased with the work he contracted for through your company. The vinyl and trim installer is undoubtedly a n extremely professional person who takes great pride in his work. As an example, he called our attention to the fact that two different widths of trim had been delivered. He first followed up with a call to someone over him and then asked if we would accept the trim that differed by a quarter of an inch in width. We said yes. So he made the two widths did nt touch one another.

The house looks great. All of the job related debris was cleaned up when the job was completed. Neighbors drive or walk by to look at and say how nice the house looks. Some stop to inquire about your company and how to get in touch with you.

Congratulations on a job well done.”

- Mrs. Charles Cason, 2005


“Kudos to everyone at Elk Remodeling! An awesome job! We will definitely be calling again should we need services in the suture and we will be referring your services to anyone who asks.”

- Sara Minelli, Burke, 2005



2004 Testimonials.

 

“Just wanted to thank you for the great job you did on the soffit, fascia and rake boards. It looks great. What an improvement to our home.

After the job was done, your employees did a wonderful clean up job. I would recommend Elk to my friends and neighbors.”

- Lebert, 2004


“We had your company replace 10 of our exterior windows. We have been most pleased with your product and service. I can’t say enough wonderful things about the crew who installed them. They arrived when they said they would and didn’t leave a mess.

I would also like to add a big THANKS to Jon and Will for their no pressure sales pitch, and to Mike for taking such good measurements that the crew had no trouble with installing the windows.

Your company has worked with us to meet all of our needs and requests, and you have strived to make sure we are completely satisfied. A company with your commitment to customer satisfaction is hard to find. We are looking for to enjoying our new windows for years to come.

We will definitely be doing business with Elk Remodeling again.”

- Andrews, 2004


“Thank you for doing such a great job for us. We are very pleased with the roof, the siding, the doors, and the windows. All the work was completed on schedule and at cost.

The subcontractors that you used for the front door and the garage door were very quick and efficient. The left no mess and their completed jobs are very well done.

The work crews that y’all provided for the roof, siding, and windows all performed very well. The foreman for the windows was especially noteworthy. He answered all our questions and was very thorough in demonstrating the use and care for the windows.

All of your crews did a great job of cleanup. We found very little trash and while you warned us about stray nails from the roofing job, we have found very few nails in the yard or other areas surrounding the house. Our kids and out cars both thank you!

We really appreciate Tom, the salesperson that we worked with. He was very knowledgeable and helpful as we worked through the options that would best fit our budget and our needs. He was very honest with us as we discussed price and where Elk’s estimate would fall in comparison to other contractors in the area. While Elk was not the cheapest estimate that we got, we felt and still feel, that the quality, commitment, and service that we have received was a VERY good buy.

Elk was recommended to us by neighbors and we have and will continue to recommend Elk to others. Thanks again.”

- Alan & Sammie Davenport, 2004



2003 Testimonials.

 

“I want to also commend your contractor crew for the excellent work they did. I am very satisfied with their workmanship and the appearance of the windows, both inside and from the outside. Equally as important to me, your crew chief was on time, brought enough workers to do the job efficiently, was pleasant and patient and made sure the work area was left as clean when he left as when he arrived. After the windows were already in place, he also had his crew move them slightly when I did not like the way they looked from the outside. In addition, he did a little extra trim work on the outside which finished off the appearance perfectly and for which I am grateful. He and his crew did all of this without grumbling or complaining and I appreciate that.

Overall, I have found my experience with Elk Remodeling to be a positive one. Your professionalism, fair price, courtesy and attention to my needs is refreshing, especially in a trade where stories of fraud and dishonesty causes consumers to be extremely wary when seeking home improvement services. I will be happy to recommend your company to others seeking similar work.”

- Daniel Willard Jewell, Fairfax, 2003


“I recently had our home re-sided and all exposed wood covered by Elk Remodeling Inc., located in Fairfax, VA. At the time I signed a contract and made a deposit, I was advised that it would take some time (6 weeks) before they would be able to start work. However, after a month passed, I began to worry, maybe this was a scam and I would never hear from them again. But I was pleasantly surprised when I received a call stating when they would be able to start.

The work was initiated when they said it would be, and the crew was punctual, professional and work was completed within a week. My neighbors had their house done by someone about a year or so earlier. When they were here and compared the workmanship they commented that we had the better job done. Another nearby resident noticed the work being done and stopped to observe. He was sufficiently impressed to request the Elk Remodeling telephone number to arrange for an estimate.

Am I pleased with the result of the remodeling, YES. Would I call on Elk for additional work if needed, YES.”

- Gallagher, Annandale, 2003


“We wanted to send you a note to let you know how pleased we are with our 21 new windows. They are absolutely beautiful and make our house look new. It’s like having a pair of new glasses to look through!

Your installation team was exceptional. They were extremely well organized, timely and did a great installation job and cleaning up afterwards. We would like to make note of the job you did trimming and capping the windows.

We will definitely recommend you to our neighbors and friends.”

- Robert & Sharon Tuohy, 2003


“I recently had three windows replaced by Elk Remodeling and was very pleased

with the work done, and wanted to write a letter that could be used as a recommendation for future customers. Everything was done in a timely and professional manner with very little inconvenience to me. The installers were courteous, neat and pleasant, and went the extra step of replacing my window blinds for me after the windows were completed. Everyone seemed genuinely interested in doing an excellent job and they checked up afterward to ensure that I was happy with their work. I would highly recommend them for home improvements.”

- Maureen Haberman, Reston, 2003


“This is just a short note to express my satisfaction with Elk Remodeling for

the job your company recently completed installing two Ultramaxx windows at my condo in Reston. The windows definitely are an improvement over my previous drafty windows. I can already see an improvement in the temperature of the room where the new windows are installed. I also am impressed with the design of the windows and the easy maintenance.

Beyond the windows, I also would like to extend my thanks to the Elk Remodeling staff and installers. The salesperson who handled my account was professional and courteous. He also followed up after the job was completed to ensure that there were no problems. Meanwhile, I was very impressed by your installers. They went the extra step to make sure that no messes were left behind. They also were courteous and quick. I appreciated that they were able to accommodate my work schedule by agreeing to install my windows late in the day and thereby minimize the amount of time needed to take off from work. I also was surprised and touched by the nice gift basket that I received from Elk thanking me for my business.

Please feel free to use my name in the future as a reference for your company.”

- Cynthia Lawrence, Reston, 2003


“We really like the replacement windows. They were replaced by courteous and efficient installers, adding greatly to the appearance of our house.”

- Mr. & Mrs. Goodrick, Falls Church, 2003


“Elk Remodeling went our of their way to install Bryn Mawr II windows (as per my request) which they do not normally install. The price was also perfect! We plan to finish the remaining windows over the next few years.”

- Fischer, Burke, 2003


“ We are 100% satisfied with the new look our house has taken on.”

- Gioconda, Annandale, 2003



2002 Testimonials.

 

“Over the past 7 years I have used Elk Remodeling for three home remodeling projects. To use them three times should speak for itself. The jobs included: Replacement of the windows in my home, installation of a deck on the rear of my house, complete replacement of all siding and guttering on my house. Simply put, they are reliable, they do use quality materials, and really do have quality workman, they get the job done (they don’t disappear and then show back up when they feel like it), they clean up and they are gone. You can’t ask for more than that. If you are looking for quality products, quality installation, and a fair price, I highly recommend them! I initially chose Elk because I thought they would produce the quality work they proclaim, and get it done when they said they would. They did not let me down. I don’t believe they will let you down either.

As a side bar – if you’re considering window replacement, do it! (I also had a new heating & air conditioning system installed in my home as it was approximately 18 years at the time) and I really did realize a 35% reduction on my utility bills. Now that I’ve replaced the siding, with the insulation that Elk uses, I can lower the heat on the thermostat and raise it for cooling as the house really does retain the internal temperature much better.”

- Bruce & Norma Dimsey, Sterling, 2002


“First, we would like to say that upon reviewing several different window and siding companies, we were most impressed with Elk Remodeling. After comparing all of the products and pricing, Elk Remodeling came in with the best product at the lowest and best price.

We dealt with every level of personnel in your company and at no time did we feel that we were not dealing with first class professionals. Out questions and concerns were answered promptly and never at any one time did we feel that we were a burden or nuisance.

Upon signing our agreement with Elk, our products were delivered within the time frame that was agreed and installed within that same time frame. The installers were at all times courteous and very mindful of our little ones that were running around.

We would like to express our sincere appreciation of the professional mannerism that your company has displayed from the first in-home demonstration to the last piece of trash that was picked to the last piece of trash that was picked up before leaving our home.

Our home while being remodeled attracted several drive-by stops to neighbors wanting to have more information about your company. With great pride and excitement, we had no problem in referring your company to any one of those individuals.

It is our great pleasure to continue to refer your company to anyone who is looking to remodel their home. At this point, we have already experienced positive energy efficient issues that have occurred since the siding and the windows have been installed. (Less heat is more…less cool is more…)

The presentation of our home has changed drastically and is more beautiful now than ever. We have been so impressed with the new look, that we completely updated our landscaping to make our home even more visible and desirable.

Thank you for your upfront confidence and commitment in your products that made up chose you over all the other competitors that we interviewed with. We already had a home that we enjoyed living in, but now we have a home that we will treasure and love for years to come.”

- Don & Debbie Morris, Annandale, 2002


“My husband and I are so pleased with the replacement windows that were installed by Elk Remodeling, Inc.

Out house looks beautiful and we have noticed that our utility usage (Washington Gas and Vepco) has decreased. He crew that installed our windows did a wonderful job. They arrived on time, were professional and courteous, and very skilled. They cleaned the entire work area before departing/ I am delighted with every aspect of the work.

Please share this letter with any person interested in Elk Remodeling. I would be happy to refer your Company. Thank you once again for doing such a wonderful job.”

- Siegel, Springfield, 2002


“As always, a great job! Thanks very much.”

- O’Donnell, Sterling, 2002


“I would like to take a minute of your time to tell you what an amazing job your company did. You recently replaced my roof, installed new windows and siding. I have to admit I was a little nervous going into this, you always hear such horrible home improvement stories. From beginning to end everyone that I had dealings with was helpful, professional and courteous. Elk Remodeling made my first home improvement experience an unforgettable one, not to mention the work performed is top notch.”

- Scott Rose, 2002


“I wanted to write a letter to let you know how pleased I was overall w/ the service I received from Elk Remodeling. From the very first time my wife and I met Chris Sullivan and John Parsons, we could tell there was something about your company.

Our area had just recently been hit by a hailstorm and we were bombarded with hail chasers every day. It wasn’t until a couple of weeks later we heard from your company. We appreciated you giving us time to assess the situation w/ our insurance company before coming the first time.

Chris and John made us feel comfortable from the start. They were pleasant to deal with, took time to explain everything in Lehman’s terms and answered all of the questions we had.

After the siding had been installed, there were a couple of things we had questions about so I called Chris and John. The next day, one the crewmembers came by our house. With no questions asked they fixed the areas of concern to your satisfaction.

In this day and time, when it’s hard to get good customer service, it was a pleasure doing business with Elk Remodeling. I would definitely recommend your company to family, friends and associates.”

- Craig A. Collins, 2002


“We like to extend out thanks to Elk Remodeling for ensuring our “remodeling” experience was conducted in the most professional manner. We are pleased with both the quality of work and the professional demeanor of the workers making for an overall pleasant experience. We were notified in a timely manner of any rescheduling and we were impressed with the responsiveness of your teams follow-up items. As you know, the “storm-chasers” barraged us after the hailstorm, making the selection of a contractor quite difficult. But, after meeting Jon Parsons and Chris Sullivan we were comfortable in our decision – and Elk came through.

We are quite confident that in the future the responsiveness of Elk will continue through our warranty period. We continue to recommend Elk to you friends, family and neighbors.”

- John & Maggie O’Toole, 2002


“Just wanted to drop you a note to let you know how much we are enjoying the new windows Elk Remodeling installed for us. The windows are easy to open, clean and have noticeably reduced the noise we hear from the cars going past.

We were equally as pleased with the installation. The installers came by, and started right to work. They were polite, professional and did a great job. They cleaned up afterwards both inside and out.

Overall, we are pleased with the work your company did for us and as we consider other home remodeling projects we will keep your number handy.”

- Ken & Jeannette Goodwin, 2002


“I just wanted to write you a short note to let you know how pleased my husband and I are with the work you recently did on our home. The home improvement you completed for us was a high quality and professional job. My main concern with any job is always quality and you definitely came through. Our new roof looks terrific as well as out new vinyl siding. Your salesmen, John and Chris, were knowledgeable and professional. Our calls were always promptly returned. Thanks so much for a job well done and we would highly recommend you to our friends.”

- Eric & Karen duVon, 2002


“Initially we were very impressed with the knowledge of the young men who came to introduce us to Elk and to show us your windows and doors. They were very patient as we took the time to make decisions as they explained the available options.

After we decided to order the windows and doors, they called us to make sure that they were ordering exactly what we wanted to have installed.

The installation whet exceptionally well, and we were amazed that all the work on all the windows and doors was accomplished in just one day. Furthermore, the men doing the installation were very respectful of our outside gardens, and inside the house they put down drop cloths everywhere they worked.

When the work was completed we were very pleased about the entire process and how great our house looked after their work.

We do appreciate your firm and the excellent work that you did for us.”

- W. Murray Black, 2002


“I’m in commercial design & construction, and work with contractors every day. I was amazed how many siding/roofing contractors “swarmed” following our last hail storm. I have to say Elk Remodeling did a wonderful job with our siding repairs. I liked the fact that you’re local, have your own laborers on staff, and that you did what you said you were going to do in a high quality fashion, on time, and within the original estimate that you quoted. It was easy and seamless. My sister, and many of our neighbors also used Elk with the same great results! Thanks.”

- Katie & Jim Apistolas, Ashburn, 2002


“We have nothing but praise for the way we have been treated by your staff: Mike Inverso, Jon Parsons and Chris Sullivan are wonderful representatives of your company.

We have encountered frustrating communication with our insurance company and with another roofer we used in the past. This time, the respect, the explanation of what would happen, and the follow-up we got at each step have given us a feeling of trust in your company. We particularly appreciate the way Jon Parsons went to bat for us with the insurance estimator.

We know re-roofing a townhouse is not a big job compared with other work you do, but it is very important to us. Because of the manner in which we have been treated, we will recommend your company to others, and will come to you first for future work we need on this or mother’s house. Thank you.”

- Catherine W. Ballay, Sterling, 2002



2001 Testimonials.

 

“I would like to comment on the siding crew you sent to my house. You told me you were sending some top performers and I have to agree with you, they were! I was impressed with their teamwork and professionalism. It is a real pleasure to observe someone that takes pride in his work. They did a great job and you should be proud of their representation of your company. I am just sorry I didn’t get to thank them before they left. I didn’t even get their names. Please pass on my gratitude and let me buy each of them a few “cool drinks” after work.”

- David O. Fulcher, Centreville, 2001


“This past Friday, as Mr. Young and his crew were preparing to leave the job site, I thanked them profusely for the wonderful, first-class work they did. Our house looks brand new. And just in time for the holidays. My family and I are thrilled.

I want to take this time to thank you three for all of your support, encouragement, and patience over the past couple of months. I was especially impressed that Elk Remodeling, after learning of my problems with the first contractor who did my roof, stayed the course and worked with me. Another contractor could have decided that I posed too much risk, since I expected top-notch work. In hindsight, I now realize you perceived there was little or no risk since you knew the quality work your company performed. And for that, I am grateful.

This weekend, as I began putting up my Christmas decorations, I had my neighbors stop by and inspect my house. I want you to know that they see the quality, and they have commented very favorably. They are probably also very relieved to see that finally, after all the work I did over the summer replacing windows myself, the house is better than before. No more tar paper blowing around, nor bent aluminum around my new Pella windows.

Thanks again you guys, and Happy holidays!”

- Bob Voldish, Sterling, 2001


“I would like to thank you for doing such a fine job on my home. In particularly the two gentlemen that came to my home for the estimate, Jan and Dave. I was very pleased with their professionalism. Especially, when they took the time to meet the insurance company at my home. They helped turn an unpleasant experience into positive results, it is greatly appreciated. I will also thank the installers, they were very efficient and courteous. Best wishes.”

- C. Longo, Springfield, 2001


“I was very pleased with the work your crews performed on my house and will readily recommend your company to anyone that is looking for a siding or roofing contractor. Thanks for your assistance.”

1998 Testimonials.

 

“Upon realizing that my home needed new windows, my search began to find a company that would meet my needs and pocketbook. I researched a few newspaper ads but also received a call from your organization. I found the members of your team to be courteous, knowledgeable people who were willing to work with me, my budget, and the windows needs. Everyone from the sales staff, secretaries, and installation crew was very helpful.

When the installation crew came to my home, they treated it like their own. The crew was neat and efficient. Mess, from the removal of the windows was kept to a minimum. Any debris remaining was cleaning up prior to their departure. I had twelve windows replaced and they did the bulk of the work in one day, with only finishing work done on the second day. The crew supervisor took time to answer my questions and concerns during installation, even explaining the caulking and finishing procedures.

The new windows make such a difference in the home. Your sales staff worked with me to convert slider windows to double hungs, which I wanted, as well as helped with trim choices and smoothing the way with the homeowners’ association. I am very pleased with the windows and your company and would not hesitate to use you for my next repair project. Thank you for all of your help.”

- Roxanna E. Frey, Manassas, 1998


“We are so pleased that we chose Elk Remodeling to do the siding work on our home. There are so many companies which do siding work, but it’s obvious from driving around our area that not all of them do a quality job. That is why we took our time before choosing a company and then checked references and former jobs.”

The installers who came to our house were hard workers. They kept everything neat as they worked and were careful to pick up job related debris each day. We have received many compliments and have been happy to recommend you.

I also liked the personal newsletter you sent out. Elk Remodeling is big enough to provide top quality work and small enough to be friendly! We’ll call you when we need more work done! Tell Tony, our marketing rep, hello.”

- Betty and James Forbes, Manassas, 1998



1996 Testimonials.

 

“I would like to express my appreciation for the excellent re roofing job by your company on March 16, 1996. Initially, I was somewhat apprehensive about having this work done, but I am now very pleased with the excellent workmanship and service that you provided.

The project was accomplished successfully despite the rainy weather. Randy kept me advised and was able to begin the project on the first available clear day. The shingles were delivered as scheduled. Your work crew arrived at about 9:00 am on March 16 and completed the work by 4:00 pm. They were obviously experienced and hard working.

Randy spent some time watching the work in progress and inspected the work after completion. The work crew picked up all the construction debris, including nails before they left the area.

I am very pleased with the quality of the work performed for the reasonable price. It was a pleasure doing business with you and I will keep you in mind for any future home improvement projects.”

- David R. Gaswell, Fairfax, 1996


“What excellent service! Your help in modernizing our home this past month has exceeded our expectations. May we provide you this letter of recommendation as a way of expressing our satisfaction and as a service to your future customers.

First, I must indicate that we spent 15 months researching products and companies in the market before signing a contract with you at Elk. By the time we met you it became quickly apparent that Elk has a different approach. Essentially, we found that you folks have an excellent balance of quality, price and customer service.

For windows, we were looking for a quality product that would hold up over the years and add to the value of our home. In looking at other products, we could see that price and quality did not always correspond. Your Ultramaxx Welded Vinyl Windows by Alside offered the features that we wanted from a national known firm offering a strong warranty. The installation and trim work were most impressive to watch.

Your recommendations on vinyl siding, gutters, new front door, and the rest of the project have helped us to achieve a distinctive look with quality touches for long term service and durability. The craftsmanship that went into so many details such as window capping provide our home with subtle touches that add to the quality as well.”

- Robert Turner, 1996


“Wayne and I would like to take a moment to thank you for the superb service we had during the selection and installation of our windows and siding on our home earlier this year. As we spend time working outside, we continually are amazed at the incredible difference it has made to the appearance. We look forward to working with your to service the rest of our remodeling needs to complete our perfect home. Your friendly and courteous salesmanship and service are a plus and we would recommend your company to all our friends and neighbors.”

- Susan & Wayne Holbrook, 1996
