Reveal, Remodel & Repair

Reveal Remodel & Repair turned our funky 1960’s 3BR/2.5 bath home into a beautiful 4BR/3BA home with attic loft. The project began the week after Thanksgiving 2018 and included tearing off the roof and gutting the bedroom level while a family of 5 (plus 2 cats and a large dog) lived in the house. It couldn’t have worked out better. I measure people by their ability to do what they say they will do. Barb under promises and over delivers. Barbs team of between 4 and what may have been as many as 15 were there daily, mindful that we were living there and working to get us a house back as soon as possible. Due to the complexity of the project, there were hiccups which would arise; which, to me, seemed like a problem but Barb and the team calmly dealt with them. Barb is a highly conscientious person who looks out for her crew and the homeowner. With a project of this scale and the surprises along the way, a homeowner can be at the mercy of the contractor. At no time during the process were we ever concerned that we weren’t getting a fair deal. The crew takes pride in their work and would have helpful and creative ideas improving the end product. Hire Reveal.

They updated the home I was selling and are now doing demo on the house I purchased. They have previously repaired my front porch, installed nest smoke/carbon monoxide detectors, installed lights and dimmers and moved thermostats.

Reveal did an excellent job with the bathtub surround. The crew was on time and very considerate in cleaning up and making sure we were happy with their work along the way.

My wife and I recently purchased a home and wanted to renovate the kitchen, bathrooms, and basement bar and floors. I chose Barb after reading her reviews and seeing that she had worked on a number of historic renovations in my hometown. I was familiar with the excellent quality of work on those renovations and was excited to have her doing the renovations in our new home. We couldn’t be more pleased with the results! Barb and her team did a wonderful job, they were able to take all of our ideas and turn them into a reality. Barb was able to make our budget work and suggested areas where we could save money. I would recommend Barb and her team to anyone looking to do remodeling, or repair work.

Barb and her team were tremendous. They worked around a number of issues that came up along the way and developed some really creative solutions. When I changed my mind in things or added something she was very accommodating and judicious with a change order. Can’t say enough good things. I will use them for my next project in the spring when their schedule frees up.

Barb and her team did a great job on our kitchen and great room remodeling project. We removed all the load bearing walls and opened the entire 25x25 room to a full on chef's kitchen, great room and dining area. The project started on time and completed within the expectations that had been established from the onset. The results are fabulous, the kitchen outstanding and the entire area a delight to use and entertain family and guests. We couldn't be happier!

April 2018 My wife and I were simply thrilled with Barb and her expert crew. We would never hesitate to recommend them to others and will use them on a continuous basis given our recent remarkable experience. Upon purchasing our new home (having lived on the same street as Ms. Kinlin for five years) we immediately knew she was the right person to consult to begin remodeling our 1960’s colonial. The communication with Barb was excellent. The Reveal consult began with a walk-through of the project area, a discussion of some money-saving DIY tips for other areas of our home outside of project-scope, and a thorough explanation of what to expect, including material options, pricing, and time-frame. Communication throughout our experience with Reveal remained consistent and effective throughout the eight-day project. Even though Reveal had multiple other projects off-site during our remodel – we always felt that we were the primary customer. Barb’s crew was prompt, courteous, and meticulous in their work. One fellow even came on a Saturday to ensure that the timeline expectation would be met. We were always greeted with a smile and wave in the morning and at the end of the working day. We believe the cost was excellent and knew we were paying for quality work. If you “Google” similar contractors in Alexandria or Fairfax County – you will quickly learn that Reveal is the only service that posts their BBB status and contractor license directly on the facing page. That should tell you something about her commitment to the trade – and ultimately the customer. We would highly recommend Barb (Reveal) to anyone living within our area. We will entrust all future home projects to her and her team. If you choose her, please know that you will no doubt share the wonderful experience that we so enjoyed. (22309)

Reveal, Remodeling and Repair recently completed a major (over one year) renovation for us and we couldn't be happier with the quality of the work. Barb and her team are true professionals and their work is exceptional. We have already begun recommending them to family and friends and will certainly use again down the road. We gave the entire team five stars!

We were referred by our friend, who has hired Reveal and is also a Realtor. We had the master bath and a powder room updated. I was impressed from the initial consultation through to the project end. The work team (led by Miguel) was assigned to our project and worked every day until completion (about 3 weeks). They were courteous and conscientious - they made every effort to protect our wood floors and clean up at the end of each day. They were very responsive and readily accommodated unplanned changes. At the end of the project, Barb did the final inspection with me and noted items that needed to be improved. These items were completed the same day. All told, I am very happy with Reveal and would recommend them to family or friends without reservation.

Reveal Remodel and Repair has done excellent and timely work for us as we prepared to put our large house on the market for sale. The tasks have ranged from painting, plumbing, toilet installation, bathroom remodeling, caulking, drywall repair, carpet removal, deck power washing, and installation of electrical fixtures. The crew is always courteous, on time, and does an excellent job of cleaning up after themselves. They were self-starters when it came to touch-up and paint matching. We worked on many projects with them from pre-staging our house, final preps for staging, and now on post inspection requests. I would highly recommend them and would not hesitate to use them again.

Reveal Remodeling and repair have been exceptional in the time i have dealt with them. They are very knowledgeable and the Craftsmanship is amazing. They have exceptional follow up and communication. I would high;y recommend this company to any one doing any remodeling work in the area!

Barb and her team came highly recommended and they didn't disappoint! We asked them to do two bathroom updates and renovate our master bedroom fireplace. The existing woodburning fireplace had a small box and the chimney would have needed to be redone. I had suggested that we put an electric fireplace, but Barb suggested we install a propane one instead. With an all electric house, I hadn't considered the possibility. Now, not only do we have a beautiful master bedroom fireplace insert, but also gas logs in the basement and a firestarter in the living room. All beautifully done with creative and expert solutions to the inevitable curveballs that home remodels can through at you. The crew also did an amazing job of keeping the place clean throughout the process. We have already identified our next set of project for Barb's team come this spring!
