MDV Remodeling

MDV made our renovation a bad and stressful experience. The final product was acceptable only because we watched the project closely (although we hadn't planned to), and we were around to catch mistakes and ensure specifications were faithfully followed. The project entailed turning a refinished attic into a full second floor, adding living space and a new bath. This was a renovation of moderate complexity. It started 99% designed and pre-planned, thus MDV's job was to execute. There were few minor changes along the way, nothing that justified a six month delay -- the project took 12 months instead of the proposed 5 1/2. About six weeks of delay could be attributed to bad weather and corrective carpentry work. As supported by our daily records of the project, including detailed notes on performed work, weather conditions, problems and outcomes, the project was mired by poor management and lack of quality control. Problems included (but weren't limited to): — shifting subcontractors around multiple work sites and insufficient control over their availability — less than 50% of work days with on-site supervision or quality control by a MDV manager, leading to undetected errors and redos — less than 50% of days available for work where work was performed on-site — inability to adhere to a proposed schedule — inability to admit error — failed final inspection twice and almost failed on third try In our opinion MDV did not live up to its marketing promise.

I added a 760 square foot two story addition to my existing home to include a full bath and secondary HVAC unit. Our home does not have a basement and our in-laws visit frequently from out of state. We significantly expanded our bedroom, the guest quarters downstairs, added a recreational (all-purpose) room downstairs, and a full private bath adjacent to the guest quarters downstairs. We also resided the entire house. The work transformed our home from a charming home in a great neighborhood to a perfect retreat for the entire family plus guests and overnight visitors. Our neighbors appreciated the swift nature of the work and how the upgrades made the entire neighborhood more aesthetically pleasing. I have experienced zero issues after having the work completed over two years ago. I have recommended the company to a colleague. I interviewed nine contractors over a two month period and eventually chose MDV as they believed in their product, were very organized, communicated clearly, and possessed trustworthy and direct personnel (their competitive pricing didn't hurt either). I've had zero regrets since making my decision. Two years after completing the work I've called their staff multiple times for their input on a myriad of items related and unrelated to my own work and they are ALWAYS responsive.

I have contracted with MDV Remodeling for several projects, large and small, indoors and out -- including a full kitchen remodel. And I would hire them again and again if I could. Professional. reasonable rates, responsive, and amazing adherence to my deadline. At he time of the major kitchen remodel, I worked from home. I received a call each evening to let me know what time the workers would arrive in the morning, what they would be working on, who would be there, and what, if anything was needed from me.

We were very pleased throughout the entire process of our construction. MDV was helpful, timely, respectful and did beautiful work!
