Recommendation Letter for Craftsman Construction
To whom it may concern:
It was my pleasure to hire Craftsman Construction for structural modifications and repairs to my 250 year old Northern Virginia home in preparation for a metal roof installation. The house had an old, poorly installed cedar shake roof over several additions of varying quality, both factors contributing to significant deterioration of soffit and fascia sections all around the house. Additionally, I wanted two large ill-fitting dormers removed that were not part of the original roof before the new standing seam metal roof was installed.
The Craftsman Team took time to understand and adopt my vision and gain an appreciation for the old structure. Their proposal was prompt, complete, and accurately characterized the phased plans we discussed.
I was impressed with how the team attacked the work in their site preparation phase by first staging tools and equipment that would be needed. The work then began as scheduled with tremendous progress being made each day, despite the difficult to reach, awkward, high locations of the problem areas. The dormers were removed flawlessly, old timbers and windows preserved, and the roof patched and structurally reinforced. Daily, Perry would take time to discuss the progress, challenges/discoveries, and next objectives. The site was kept meticulously clean, with all tools and materials secured at the end of each day. The new carpentry was expertly painted, a new window installed, and spray foam insulation applied to the repaired attic spaces. The house was now ready for a new roof and already looked better than it had in many years.
I also asked Jerry and Perry to provide proposals for several other exterior and interior renovation projects and am looking forward to seeing more of their craftsmanship applied to this old house. I very highly recommend Craftsman Construction for any residential construction project – it will turn out better than you can imagine!
Sincerely,
Stephen Payne

Craftsman Construction built our custom home in 2006. I cannot say enough about Jerry's attention to detail and quality. Our main objectives were to build an energy efficient home, and to have it fit architecturally into the historical ambiance of the village. Craftsman Construction exceeded our expectations and built us a house that we cherish. I believe it is also important to mention, Jerry was able to suggest successful cost saving ideas that kept us on budget and at times improved our final design.
Craftsman Construction is dependable, fair and customer oriented. Over the years since our construction, we have used Jerry for all our improvements. We presently live overseas and when there is an issue at our house, Craftsman Construction is who I call. I know I am going to receive an honest evaluation and fair price for any work that might be done.

To Whom It May Concern
Re: Recommendation for Craftsman Construction
It is my sincere pleasure to recommend you to Craftsman Construction. Based on our experience, you will make the correct choice in selecting them for your project.
Our business is currently renovating a circa 1900 dairy barn to become a new commercial winery; complex and demanding in many ways. The building, located on Vint Hill Farms Station, had been used by the Army and other federal agencies as a secure listening and signal intercept facility since the early 1940s. It had been converted over time to an office-like environment, but with layer upon layer of interior partitioning, extremely complex utilities, sound proofing and (now obsolete) security features. Rather than start with new construction, we had to ‘deconstruct’ the building before we could renovate and build new.
This complexity dictated that we use a time and materials contract with Craftsman Construction because neither they nor we could fully anticipate what the project would require. As you might expect, I was concerned for cost escalation and schedule slippage with this arrangement.
Our project is now about 65-70% complete. It is on schedule and within budget. As the owner, I could not be more pleased with the quality of work and good service that Craftsman Construction provides.
Rather than act like the typical general contractor, Jerry Jackness and the Craftsman Construction team have emerged to become valued and trusted partners. We innovate and plan together. Moreover and perhaps more important, Craftsman treats my money like it was their own; always looking for ways to make the project better and to reduce costs where possible. Over 35 years in the facilities business, I have never had a relationship with a general contractor that was this good. Simply, Craftsman Construction is stellar.
It is an honor to extend plaudits to a company that demonstrates both value and professionalism. But I can also say that for any project I might undertake in the future, my confidence and my money will be trusted to Craftsman Construction. I am confident that you will have the same high quality experience.
As you may desire, I would be pleased to speak with you directly about Jerry Jackness and the Craftsman Construction team. You may reach me at 703.991.0191 or by email to [email protected]. I wish you the best and good success with your project.
Sincerely, B. Ray Summerell

I appreciate the fine work you and your team provided in renovating our deck and completing the repairs and upgrades you provided for our home.
You might recall I started with a contractor supplied by the "big-box home improvement" store to renovate our large deck. After ordering the material and paying for 50% of the planned work, the big-box store home office reviewed the scope of the deck renovations and decided they could not take on such a large project and unilaterally decided to cancel my contract !
It was under these circumstances that you were recommended to me. Your team did a fabulous job removing the old deck surface, which covers a large area given that it runs the width of the house in the back and the length of the house on the south side. Your attention to detail on helping me pick the right deck material to cover the span of the supports and providing extra bracing at the railing post mounting points avoided problems of which I was otherwise unaware ! We enjoy the new deck daily.
The installation of replacement siding boards on the old cedar siding, the installation of the two new double pane entry doors, the replacement of the screen door damaged by high winds and the final coats of new paint have really revitalized and beautified our custom house.
I'd be happy to recommend you and Craftsman Construction to potential customers.
Sincerely,
