Aikey's Home Improvements, LLC

My family and I hired Kirk since we heard him on the radio. We had some pretty bad flood damage from a busted pipe. He said he'd have the job finished within 4 months, it took him over a year! We had to place our furniture and our belongings into storage units that sat in our yard for that year. Everything was destroyed, since it sat so long it was covered in mold. Every step of the process was an absolute nightmare! His "crew" showed up very sporadically and only worked 2 to 3 hours a day, there were some weeks where no one showed up at all?! They did some electrical work for us and even wired an outlet, luckily I noticed they installed it upside down and then discovered it wasn't properly wired at all! We had to get a certified electrician to fix everything. I've seen good reviews for there roofing work, maybe that's all they should be allowed to do.

Kirk has done work for me and I found him to be reasonable, competent, and a guy who works well with insurance adjusters.

Usually there's three types estimates you can get from remodeling/construction companies. 1. Joe with a truck (Lowest price point, highest risk) 2. medium sized local companies (prices somewhere in the middle, less risk than Joe ) 3.Larger Companies (Oh my god this costs how much? little to no risk because you already paid for the potential risks upfront.) Aikey's Home Improvements is the kind of business that breaks the mold of being categorized, and is easily the best choice for what they do. 1. They have every certification and training larger companies offer. This means the risk of hiring underskilled labor is eliminated. 2. They have been in business since 1959. This means they are not a fly-by-night company. Too often small business contractors can take a job over their head, that ends up costing both parties more money than they can stand to lose, so the business files bankruptcy and restarts the company under a new name. No one can afford to hire a company like that no matter how low their price point is. This risk is eliminated with Aikey's. 3. Their price came in at the Medium sized Local Company. Knowing that they weren't a risk for the new home we bought, and weren't charging the excessive pricing of some of the other guys. They did things correct and methodically. I probably wont use a different company as long as I'm in Central VA.

Aikey's Home Improvements, LLC replaced all my windows, doors, siding and trim in less than a week, for a moderate price. The work was performed carefully with close attention paid to the details. The installers were polite and courteous, and kept the backyard, porch and walkways cleared when they finished work each day. I was particulary impressed when the crew returned on a weekend, to finish covering one side of my home, before an approaching snowstorm arrived. Nice work! I'm still very happy with the look of my home!

Complete kitchen remodeling. Removed everything including cabinets, the flooring and a non-bearing wall. Replaced with hardwood floor, all new cabinets with granite counter tops and a subway tile back splash. Replaced dishwasher and microwave oven with exterior vent.. Added a cabinet peninsula replacing the wall. Replaced lighting including pendant lamps over peninsula and under cabinet lights over counter top. Installed ceiling fan in dining area. Excellent workmanship, everything completed as promised. Kirk Aikey was great to work with, when the wrong counter tops were delivered he corrected the problem immediately. He was always knowledgeable and helped tremendously with the design and modifications throughout the project. He was always open to discussion and if there was a difference of opinion, he did it my way. My only complaint, the project took a little longer than planned.

We hired Aikey's Home Improvements to add an addition to our home and to assist us in updating our existing home. We were very pleased with Kirk's and his subcontractors professionalism, suggestions on improving final result and attention to detail. Our project was completed ahead of schedule and within the budget. We cannot say enough good things about Kirk and his team. Very, very pleased; we plan to hire him again to design and build our deck. We definitely would recommend Aikey's Home Improvements!
