Robertson Renovations Inc

Robertson Renovations made our dream a reality, while executing a complex and extensive procedure as seamlessly as possible. In 2020 my wife and I bought a house in Charlottesville Virginia built in 1957 and in need of major renovation. We anticipated moving there for our upcoming retirement as we love the city and it was near our daughter and 3 of our grandchildren. Ironically, it was in that home that we first witnessed her neighbor's house undergoing a full makeover. We made multiple trips over the course of a year, and with each visit had a ringside seat to view the quality of construction and the consistent progress. Impressed with the work, I made a point of noting the company's name and eventually introduced myself to James at the job site. Realizing that we also needed an architect, I was pleased to learn that they have one in house. As James put it "we do everything from soup to nuts", meaning the entire project could be conducted by one company. On June 10, 2022 we had our first meeting with James and architect Kelly at our house to discuss our needs. We required a total gut job, plus an addition and second story to morph our untouched midcentury 1550 sq ft bungalow into a fully modernized 2650 sq ft farmhouse. This began a 2 year collaboration with Kelly adapting our designs into buildable plans for James and his team of top notch subcontractors, all expertly coordinated by our fabulous foreman Jason. Anyone unfamiliar with this process should buckle up and prepare for long term stress, anxiety, and expense as I've never known a renovation to complete on budget or on time. But honestly our 10% cost increase was primarily due to extras we chose while underway - like moving the driveway, waterproofing the foundation, and adding a deck. After a 24 month transition, on June 12, 2024 we had moved into our like-new home and made our final payment. As we sit on our front porch, we often hear passersby admiring the transformation. The best recommendation I can give is to say that our daughter's house is now undergoing work - by Robertson Renovations! Thank you

We have used Robertson Renovations for several large projects on the house we have lived in for the last 9 years, and we have chosen them to fully renovate the house we just bought as well. They are honest, reliable and responsive, and their work is high quality! They have totally renovated our bathrooms and finished off a full basement, and we couldn't be happier with the spaces. Their crew has been great as well.

In 2020, Rob and James Robertson, of Robertson Renovations, added a first floor bedroom and bath, with connecting wing, to the right side our home that we had lived in for 38 years. We had made the decision to continue to live in this home in our later years and “age in place”. Since my wife has advanced Parkinson’s, we needed to be sure we considered all options and looked at the details, especially those that pertain to her disabilities. All exterior and interior design work was done by their in-house architect, Kelly, working very closely with us. Since I am very detailed oriented, I wanted to be kept informed every step of the way. Communication between me, Rob and James and the project manager, on the job site every day, was also excellent. On the exterior, the Robertson brothers made sure we were happy with the selection of siding, brick, roofing material, trim, etc. The match of these products worked out extremely well with our older construction. On the interior, the project manager worked very closely with me to be sure we were addressing every detail for my wife’s disability. An example of this is the walk-in shower where we not only followed ADA guidelines, but made sure from a practical standpoint everything was dimensioned correctly for her. I should also add that the subcontractors used by Robertson were excellent and were coordinated well in order to keep the project moving. Because of my wife’s disability, we needed help with some of the details on the interior and Kelly was very helpful with colors and fixtures. Overall, the addition turned out exactly as we had envisioned and was completed in the timeframe specified. We have received numerous compliments and overall couldn’t be happier. We give Robertson Renovations five stars.

The Robertsons have done an absolutely tremendous job on several of our projects. We started with a porch, including a screened in and open portion. Its one of the best parts of our house now - the craftsmanship was truly tremendous. We have now also worked with them on an entire pool area and stone veneer for retaining walls. I will continue to use them for all of our renovation projects!

Robertson renovations did a full house renovation for us in 2020. They were professional, efficient, and detail oriented. We recommend their company for home renovations.

As an architect, getting to work on your own house and live in one of your designs is a dream come true. We fully trusted R.R. through three phases of work, and I can confidently say the workmanship, attention, and communication from James, Rob, Jason, Tom, and the rest of their crew are top notch. Our return to them at each new phase says it all. (See the project here: https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/charlottesville-contemporary-renovation-pj-vj~6784141 ) Beyond our own house, I am quick to recommend R.R. for my clients’ projects, and I look forward to working with them for years to come.

James and his team were very easy to work with, they were flexible and able to work within our budget and our renovation is amazing!

We have used Robertson Renovations twice now. It has been a great experience. Their financial transparency, communication and work have all been top notch. James and Rob Robertson have a great team in place. Our current project manager Tom is amazing. From design to execution I would highly recommend Robertson Renovations and will use them again.

Highly professional, hard working knowledgeable crew, good sense of design and detail, very easy to work with--very good value. The company has installed a beautiful VA bluestone front entry sidewalk as well as repaired 2-story deck-porch. They are hired to do additional work over the next few months. They've taken the time to do their homework, walk through options with me, answer all questions patiently, with interest, and knowledgeably. They have a very good sense of both form and function. Good listeners, good workers, and very satisfied with all and any work they do. The crew works hard, knows their work, is polite, considerate, and always in good temper. They always leave a job site clean. They also stand behind their work. Truly a gem. Highly recommended.

I have worked with James and crew on a couple remodeling projects and they are first class. They bring a pleasant atmosphere to the job site, do excellent work, and are able to troubleshoot challenging details when needed. They are on the top of my remodeling list!
