Michael Harvey Homes LLC

We have meticulously maintained our 15 year old custom built home, but over the years we experienced significant structural issues with HVAC, conditioned crawl space, and most seriously, a second floor balcony that had never been constructed properly, resulting in major water damage. After consulting with three recommended contractors, we selected Michael Harvey, as it was obvious he had the technical expertise to diagnose issues we did not know even existed. He explained to us that the job could uncover more problems that were unseen until the work began and progressed. He initially sent two of his experienced employees over to conduct an initial investigation of the roof under the balcony, and prepared a written report of their results. The work began in mid Autumn, and was completed in early February. Michael provided us a written contract, was honest that the costs could increase, depending upon what existed beneath the walls. This was a complicated, expensive job, but every step of the way Michael knew what to do, how to address it, and had the right people to perform the necessary work. Every day Michael came in the morning and late afternoon, consulted with us and his crew. His crew arrived early and stayed late every day. They were incredible. The entire integrity of our home was jeopardized by the original builder as there had been improper flashing, resulting in severe structural weakness of the house. There had been inappropriate flashing for the hardiplank siding on both the house and the detached garage. You cannot find anyone else on the NNK who has the professional expertise, skill, team members, and ability to tackle difficult construction problems and the willingness to do so, with the utmost integrity, than MIchael Harvey.

Michael Harvey and his team have assisted us with two major projects recently, both interior and exterior. The experience has been superlative in every way. The team is: prompt, responsive, readily understands our needs and clears up any ambiguity, good at suggesting alternatives or options, easy to work with, and fairly priced. Above all, the work is both extremely solid and conducted with care and attention to detail. For instance, while repainting the interior, the team renewed the door hardware so that it is completely functional, attractive, and not dated. Our projects involved a complete repainting of the interior. The house now looks brand new. On the exterior, Michael and his team completed a difficult excavation project with a retaining wall very quickly. The result is impressive. We highly recommend!

Our project was an extensive one during the pandemic with all of the supply chain and material cost challenges that came with it. We bought a large farmhouse in 2020 but soon realized that the original half of the house, built in 1910, had significant structural and foundation issues and was not worth trying to restore - this original construction had to be torn down and rebuilt. Michael and Dianna were recommended to us as two people that could help us solve our problem. Thank goodness we called them as they were both a joy to work with throughout this project. They gave us a realistic upfront cost estimate for the work and recommended and completed agreed upon repairs to the remaining part of the home as the project progressed. They also helped us with every detail from door knobs, to appliances, to floor stain, to porch railings, and on and on. But more than anything, Michael and Dianna are trustworthy people - what they say they will do and do it well. Knowing we could trust them and that they were honest and hard working meant a lot to us as we lived several hours from the construction site. Our house became a home during this last year thanks to Michael and Dianna and their team’s outstanding craftsmanship and dedication to our project.

When we confronted a major structural problem with our home, we contacted several contractors. Michael Harvey of Michael Harvey Homes was among the first to respond, and responded in person with expert and clearly experienced advice. He went through our options with accurate estimates and assured us that, every step of the way, or project would receive his full professional attention. Michael provided specialists in all aspects and stages of work (his framers, finish carpenters and painters were all exceptional) and was on site to see that we were happy with everything. When the materials ordered were not up to his expectations, he was on the phone immediately to get the problem corrected. We could not be happier with the final outcome of our Michael Harvey major remodel. his quote- "Every Detail Matters" could not be more descriptive of his approach to our project. He is clearly a 5-star contractor. Kenneth and Marjorie Lee

Michael renovated a very tired guest house on our property, replacing a flat roof with a gabled roof, renovated the bathroom and painted the interior and exterior, transforming it into a quaint riverside cottage, where we are proud to have friends and family stay. Additionally, he oversaw our kitchen and family room remodeling, as well as numerous other projects on our home. His work is excellent, his subcontractors are very good and he is very friendly and easy to work with.

We just completed our most current project with Michael, a total remodel of the Master Bath with a barrier free huge walk-in shower, privacy and top of the line material and best of all impeccable detailed craftsmanship. We thought the quoted construction time was long until we saw the work preformed. All was on time and turned out to exceed our expectations. If you work with Michael you get the best tradespeople as he doesn’t tolerate anything less than A+ workmanship and he supervises every aspect of the project. He is also a great source for all the latest lighting, design and materials on the market today to enhance your project. OK Michael when are you starting our half bath and laundry room project, can’t wait

I highly recommend Michael Harvey for any remodeling project you may have. He just completed a total makeover of a master bath as well as master closet. We are so excited with the finished product. Michael is very easy to work with, he listens and delivers! He’s accessible and very professional. He follows your ideas but also adds particulars you may not have thought of. He also completes a project when promised and is very thorough. Can’t say enough good things!

After quite the search, I ended up choosing Michael Harvey Homes for my remodeling project. Choosing Michael for the project was a great choice. I can’t tell you how pleased I am with the results! I now have a beautiful new sun room, new Den, a much-needed storage closet, as well as a spruced up the front exterior. Michael uses a fixed price contract. After our initial meeting to review the contract, Michael was able to find solutions that not only help to reduce costs, but helped improved the design as well. Michael stayed on Budget, and on time throughout the project. Michael and Dianna were so helpful when I made a few special requests over and above the contract. Dianna was able to get estimates for the items quickly and kept everything moving smoothly. Michael’s crew and trusted sub-contractors were all top notch. They showed up on time (or early), they were friendly, respectful of my property and me and all were excellent at their crafts. Let’s face it remodeling can be stressful and the general contractor you choose is so important. If you are looking for a reliable contractor, who is committed to giving his client’s peace of mind and excellent workmanship, then I would definitely call Michael Harvey Homes. You won’t be disappointed.

We could not be any happier with every single aspect of Michael Harvey Homes, from the quality and craftsmanship, to the problem solving, to ensuring that our forever home will be here for future generations. We hired Michael to do a total remodel of our home, originally built in the 40s, including removal of multiple walls so we could have the open floor plan and kitchen of our dreams. Michael maximized our budget by repurposing windows and suggesting common sense ideas throughout the home that we would never have thought of. He also fixed a major structural problem that we really didn't know was there. Dianna's design suggestions were greatly appreciated, and she made choosing our options much less overwhelming than it could have been. She and Michael were also very patient with us all of the way through the project as we occasionally changed our minds or made special requests. Michael's crew and subcontractors showed up on time or early every day. They were all professional, friendly and obviously very experienced at their crafts. Oh yeah, and the house was finished ahead of schedule. There are so many things we could say about Michael Harvey Homes, but to put it simply: They are the best!

Micheal Harvey Homes preformed a very difficult and timely job for us in an excellent manor. Not only were they highly professional, but they took an interest in our "challenge" and provided a more cost efficient solution that actually preserved future options for us. In addition, Michael's attention and involvement in our project allowed the project to not only come in on time, but also under budget. I offer my highest recommendation of this company.

We hired Michael to do a complete interior remodel of our 1970's waterfront townhouse with a basement and sun room addition. We lived out of state at the time of the remodeling project, so it was very important for us to have a trusting relationship with our contractor of choice. Micheal was referred to us personally by trustworthy friends. After meeting Michael and seeing his work, we gained complete trust in his character and in his craftsmanship. He was able to put us at ease with the remodeling process even while we were a thousand of mile away from the project. He posted updates frequently and kept us informed consistently. He enthusiastically welcomed challenges and is a creative problem solver. He was communicative and responsible throughout the project. We could not be more pleased with the finished work. Our townhouse is absolutely beautiful and welcoming. We have recommended Michael Harvey Homes to our friends looking for a reliable general contractor they could trust with excellent character and workmanship.

I have worked with Michael Harvey on several different projects. Our first remodel was on our kitchen. Michael had wonderful ideas and the project came in under budget and on time. My next project was our master bedroom and bath project. Again, Michael helped us find the best solution for the space and parameters of the budget. He is easy to talk with; has terrific ideas and is always on time and within budget. Because of the terrific experience I have had with Michael, I am now using him to help me on my living room and for my outdoor space. I can honestly say that my experience with Michael and his workers has been absolutely exceptional. There is no one better in the northern neck for prompt, professional and perfect work. He is a craftsman! Ps—his Office personal (Deeana) is also amazing!!
