We recommended NVS to a coworker.

We have been a repeat client over the years. NVS redid our bathrooms and a kitchen at our prior home. This time -- as always -- the work was great but we really felt that noone was really managing the process, advocating for our interests, overseeing progress, or communicating with us proactively on an ongoing basis. This was very disappointing and has us questioning if in fact we'd recommend NVS. I want to note that we more than understand logistics issues, etc.; this went far beyond that.

I consider NVS the "gold standard" of kitchen/bath and other home renovation projects. I have done five projects with them. I know they will make everything right and "go the extra mile" to do so. I scheduled the last couple of projects for when I planned to be out of town and we communicated by phone and email. I knew they would let me know if anything unexpected came up.

This was the third remodeling project that NVS did for us. Everything went smoothly and according to schedule. I have recommended them to anyone I know that is considering a remodel project.

I added constructive feedback to the rest of this survey and it wont allow me to submit it until I add narrative text to this question.

I am very happy with the renovation. You had one person, Ali, manage the whole renovation, was here each day and it went very well.

-Caulk in the kitchen continues to fail. About to be replaced for the third time.
-Dishwasher was never installed correctly. Door does not close properly. Door seals have been replaced twice.
-Drawer faces in our island have defects or poor craftsmanship. All drawer fronts have four nail pop like protrusions, as if something was nailed from inside the drawer into the drawer front.
-Paint had to redo and does not match original. Had to pay to have the bedroom repainted because the touchups did not match.
-I have pictures and video.
-Work was done in, Alexandria, VA.

Our Lead Contractor, Dave, was wonderful to work with. He made sure that the work was top quality, the house was kept in order, and we were happy throughout the process.

It's an excellent company, and we were well satisfied.

Excellent job by NVS on our basement remodel. It looks great and the quality of the material and workmanship was amazing.

Our experience with NVSKB was outstanding from start to finish. When contracting services for major work in your home, you want to have a sense of confidence that you're working with a company with integrity as well professionalism. We found that with NVSKB. Their goal was to make sure we were pleased with the results.

This is our fourth contract with NVS, and each time we are just as happy as before. They are a pleasure to work with and their finish carpenter is the best in the industry.

100% satisfied, great work and even greater people at NVS. We endorse and recommend them wholeheartedly.

NVS Kitchen and Bath exceeded our expectations.

We will definitely consider NVS for any future work on our house.

The NVS team working on our Kitchen remodel from design to completion were exceptional from start to finish. We would definitely recommend them and will use again on future projects.

My sales consultant Ross is amazing; and the lead carpenter, Drew is phenomenal. I'm happy. Brian and Carlos are good too.

Working with NVS for our two bathroom remodels was a breeze. I appreciated their professional approach from sales, design, contract and project completion. There were no surprises. The whole project went very smoothly, according to plan and within contract budget. Ford Hale was our sales consultant. He was very thorough and put me at ease explaining how NVS does business. He was always responsive and even stopped by a couple of times to check on things once our project got started. Brian Arrington was our day to day project manager and he was excellent. We were not home for the first two weeks of the project but felt very comfortable having him there. He communicated promptly via text or phone call whenever questions arose. He skillfully managed scheduling all of the subcontractors and was even able to do the flooring work himself to save on cost. I would definitely work with NVS again. Great experience!

Recognized Excellence

Recognized Excellence - Brian Arrington was an excellent project manager. He was respectful, trustworthy, gave sound advice and was just a joy to have around.

Areas For Improvement

Areas For Improvement - I should have paid more attention to where the light switches were going in the master bath, and what lights those switches controlled. We had to make a last minute change once the electricians showed up and it meant tearing up some finished drywall to run another line for a switch, but the change is acceptable.

Areas Of Satisfaction

NVS is a superb company and they have very highly qualified people working there who are courteous, thorough, and creative. I definitely had a great experience having worked with the remodeling of our house.

I cannot recommend NVS highly enough. I have done four projects with them. I know that everything will be done right, and they are excellent about communicating along the way. For example, if an agreed upon piece of material (e.g., bathroom tile) is not available, they will recommend a good alternative.

Excellent experience from beginning to end., Complete renovation of kitchen, bath and exterior of home (trim, siding, windows, roof).

Recognized Excellence

Recognized Excellence - Lead Carpenter Richard Wright. He had the professional knowledge and experience to effectively explain issues and options to the homeowners.

In the end, Richard helped all parties worked through the issues and satisfactorily address build issues. Dawn Summers also has a keen sense of design and helped the homeowners tremendously. The project would not have turned out so well without her input and guidance especially in the cabinetry, floor tile, lighting fixtures and hardware areas.
