By Mary A.January 27, 2022Put on an addition$360,000Read more
When choosing my builder, I looked for:
1 – A good rating from others
2 – The ability to look at my plans and see potential problems; suggest corrections; take the items I wanted and make sure that my plans reflected those ideas.
3 – Conscientious, Communicative, be onsite and address issues in an efficient and professional manner.
Based on my initial meeting with Nathan Wiley it seemed like we would be a good match. They didn’t have a designer able to work with me so I hired my own architect. Kevin Brungard was my GC. I told Kevin I wanted our addition to look exactly like the exterior of the original house; I wanted minimal to no steps – my mom is almost 80 and doesn’t do steps well.
As my GC I expected Kevin to work for and with me- Kevin preferred that I just disappear and let him “BUILD WHAT’S ON THE PAPER” HIS WORDS!!! I must be mistaken, but thought I was the one paying!
*Signed contracts May 2020, I was told 4-6 months to completion.
*BRCH didn’t break ground for close to 4 months.
*Kevin ordered the wrong trusses, sat open to weather for many weeks
*At framing I realized there was a door missing I spoke to framer and it was not on his plans. It was on my plans, I contact Kevin to find out what’s happening. Kevin states that my architect removed it. My architect copied me with the email from Kevin stating that the County required removal due to code violation. It’s now Mid Nov, and this email took place in July prior to any building, a time when plans could have been altered to accommodate the door. HOWEVER, BRCH didn’t feel it important enough to inform me of this code violation change. This cost us a two- car garage which is now a one car garage, when we could have flipped the house plan and solved the entire issue. I fired Kevin, Nathan called and promised changes, Kevin stayed.
*Kevin ordered the wrong windows, had to reorder all new bottom sashes
*Kevin’s errors on upstairs shower cost us $500 plus a shower pan.
*Rear decks: Kevin had ordered treated wood and our deck is trex. Cost me over $7000. Kevin told me trex would take over 2-3 months. One phone call and I had the material here in 5 days.
*At this point I fired Kevin permanently.
*After firing Kevin the 2nd time Nathan sent a New House GC Named Dave Gingras. Dave worked his tail off to clean up after Kevin. Dave did an awesome job, but some things were just not fixable, i.e. – 1-having too many steps; 2- not being informed about the Code Violation and the subsequent losses that caused; 3- When they framed the house there is a 4” step from existing garage to new foyer which should have been eliminated, well that carried upstairs to the bedroom where there is now a 4” step into the new bathroom.
BRCH completed building July 2021, that’s 14 months for a 4-6-month job!
I am writing this January 22, 2022, in Henrico Doctors Hospital with my Mom as a result of her falling down the steps coming out of her house.
For the above reasons I would not recommend BRCHResponse from Blue Ridge Homes February 2, 2022Our team at Blue Ridge Custom Homes sends our deepest sympathy for Mrs. Allen’s mom and are praying for a full and fast recovery. Blue Ridge Custom Homes agrees that this job took longer than anyone would have liked. Various obstacles continued to arise as we worked toward a quality product to deliver to Mrs. Allen. With the housing market booming and the supply chain overwhelmed with product availability and factories shut due to Covid, many product lead times were unforeseeably extended. Our 4-6 month build time was negatively affected due to these circumstances outside of our control. With most new construction jobs, there are many moving parts and when things do not go as planned, certain decisions need to be made. With regards to the trusses, they did in fact ship out a different length than what the plans called for. We could have retrofit them to work but that would have lessened the size of the interior living space. A difficult decision but in the end, we opted to wait for the proper trusses to re-build and arrive to provide our customer with the square footage that was originally agreed upon. Regarding the stairs which are a direct result of the crawl foundation height, we had to match what currently existed on the original home. The end result was 3 stairs/4 rises to the main front door landing of the addition. A custom aluminum railing was built and installed per code to assist with access up and down the stairs. While the stairs are extremely stable and meet all building codes, caution should always be used when accessing them. We understand that Mrs. Allen and her original project manager were not a good fit for one another. Replacing him with one of our new home construction project managers was the right decision. He and Mrs. Allen worked well together and as is custom with our team members, he made sure that no shortcuts were taken to provide her with a quality addition to her home. We are sympathetic to Mrs. Allen’s experience and would have preferred that it was a smoother process for her. In the end, we are confident that our team delivered a quality and complete addition to her home. As with all of our work, we will continue to stand behind our product and address any warranty items should they arise. -
By Allie S.June 10, 2021Bathroom Remodel$15,000
We renovated our kids' bathroom with BRCH. We had an incredible experience from the very start.
Kevin has been so helpful, answers all of our questions and is so quick to respond to us. He gave us his expertise and helped us plan to get exactly what we wanted for our bathroom. He had creative solutions, too. We really enjoyed working with him!
Clay has been an incredible contact for the work of our project. He is super responsive and makes sure we are happy with everything that has been going on.
The contractors -- Roberto, Nico, and Juan -- were AMAZING. The work they did was so well done. They are so talented, and we have really enjoyed having them here as they renovate our bathroom. They are super respectful, they clean up every day and leave the work space tidy (which is important because we have small kids), and they are so nice. We've enjoyed talking with them!
We are so glad to have found y'all to do our bathroom renovation and look forward to many more projects to come!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, and please pass along our praise to the team!!

Wow, These guys built my home. I had a problem with the front of the house, and they refused to even come and look at it. They just kept saying it was a maintenance issue. It was in no way a maintenance issue. I did not ask them for anything but to come and look at the house.
STAY AWAY.

We had another builder start our home and they were a disaster. Nathan Wiley and his Blue Ridge Custom Homes Team took over the project. I was so frazzled I needed a company to DELIVER on their hype. Blue Ridge Custom Homes met every mark, including somehow ordering and delivering my appliances when I was told by LOWES that it was 'impossible'. BRCH came through, and I truly believe kept me from having a nervous breakdown. Look no further than BRCH to navigate your building project with professionalism and respect for your time and money!
