Peterson Renovations Inc.

My husband and I are very pleased with the work done at our home and we highly recommend Peterson Renovations to anyone. Their services were good and we will contact them back for any renovations we plan to do in the future.

We hired Sean and Peterson Renovations for three large projects over a three year span. The overall goal of the renovation was to reconfigure interior spaces of the house to carve out two additional bedrooms to accommodate a combined family (second marriage for both, four kids between us), update the kitchen and bathrooms and refresh the rest of the house. We had detailed plans from an architect. Phase 1 (July -September 2013) was complete gutting and renovation of the LR/DR/kitchen level of the split level into one giant open space with a high end kitchen, and reconfiguring of the basement rooms below into a bedroom and a TV/game room. This ended up including new electrical service, two new gas furnace and AC units and significant reworking of the home's plumbing, HVAC, and electrical systems. Phase 2 (February-May 2014) tackled the entry level of the house - adding a front hall coat closet, a beautiful stone fireplace wall with built in book shelves, reconfiguring the laundry room and combining two small, awkward spaces into a bedroom for a teenager. Additionally, the master bedroom was heavily modified, adding two new closets and new roof and flooring. Phase 3 (August-Septemer 2015) saw the complete renovation of the two upstairs bathrooms and the creation of a 10x12 guest room from an otherwise useless space (bringing the total to 6 bedrooms). The master bath was more than tripled in size, taking space from an unused cedar closet and from the room that was converted into a guest room. Along the way, we also had numerous windows added/replaced, and new exterior siding installed. We subsequently used Sean and his crew to construct a concrete-floored, stick-built 10x14 shed. No project of this magnitude happens without bumps along the way. What really matters is how those bumps are managed. Sean was communicative and flexible. He offered suggestions/alternatives when structural things in the house prevented building to the architect's plan. He had largely the same crew over this four year project (Jai, Mike, Fidel). We got to know them all very well. They knew our house and treated us like family members. Finally, Sean has a good eye for design and detail and made many good and useful suggestions that we incorporated. It is not hyperbole to say this renovation changed how our family lives in the house. We have another estimate from Sean for a fifth project. I think that says it all.

We needed a complete bathroom remodel for our children's bathroom and they did an amazing job. Listened to our worries and stayed true to the design we were going for. Peterson Renovations is highly recommended for any home improvement needs

We are extremely delighted with the remodel of our master bathroom. With our initial design consultation, Sean was able to capture my vision perfectly. His team showed up every day on time, were very courteous, and cleaned up after themselves. We highly recommend Peterson Renovations to anyone looking to renovate or remodel any area of their home.

We hired Peterson Renovations to remodel our small master bath after comparing quotes from four contractors. Peterson had the best combination of price and approach, and Sean Peterson inspired a level of confidence that made us comfortable with the choice. We love the result. Sean and his team understood our vision for the bathroom and executed it beautifully. His team was wonderfully professional and respectful of our privacy as they came and went in the week and a half it took to complete the project. We hadn't really thought about how much that would mean to us, since we've usually done our own remodeling and aren't accustomed to having contractors in the house. We were delighted to learn that lesson through a positive experience - kudos to Jay and the rest of Sean's team. The only real problem we had was a defective faucet (which we had supplied), and with a replacement from the manufacturer on its way to us we're confident that Sean will have it installed quickly once it arrives. We highly recommend Peterson Renovations. We were confident when we chose them, and they didn't disappoint. The results were exactly what we had hoped for!

We got proposals from several remodeling contractors, but Peterson Renovations was the only one who met all our requirements and submitted a proposal to do ALL the work under one contract. Sean and his crew completely gutted the main floor, corrected some structural issues, put in new drywall, lighting, hardwood floors, and ceramic tile. They enlarged the kitchen and created an open floor plan with great sight lines and traffic flow. The main electrical panel was replaced and re-wired. Sean even accommodated our installation of smart switches and other devices to automate our home. Best of all was the new wood, glass, and stainless steel contemporary staircase, which was a very difficult project all by itself. We are delighted with our "new" home and everyone who sees it showers us with compliments. The one downside was that the project took much longer than originally estimated. However, this was not the fault of Peterson Renovations, but simply that several suppliers were slow, or sent the wrong things. Peterson Renovations gets our highest recommendation. Anyone looking for remodeling work in the Stafford/Fredericksburg/Northern Virginia area should get in touch with them!

We hired Peterson Renovations to totally renovate two of our bathrooms. Sean Peterson was easy to work with, listened to our needs, made suggestions, and probably most important, employed workers that were always on time and considerate. They did not leave at the end of the day until everything was picked up, cleaned, and vacuumed. The work was completed as scheduled and the final cost stayed true to the estimate. We are very pleased with both bathrooms and would definitely hire Peterson Renovations for our next project.

Peterson Renovations did an amazing job with our kitchen renovation! From start to finish, Sean and his team were wonderfully accommodating to our needs/wants. We couldn't have asked for a nicer team of people to work with. I had ideas in mind and Sean helped me bring those ideas to life. We are absolutely thrilled with the final product!

After competitive bidding with a number of contractors I selected Petersen Renovations to finish my basement and renovate the master bathroom and a second full bathroom. Work in the basement included adding; a code compliant emergency egress, a new half bath, and separate pool table, exercise and home theater areas. Work in the bathrooms included significant demolition and some new construction along with new tile, vanities, toilets, tubs and fixtures and new frameless glass shower walls in the master bathroom. During the work, and with Sean’s help sourcing materials and providing construction tips, I renovated the main floor half bath to match the work that Sean was doing. I am very happy with the completed project. The total work came in at budget and the overall workmanship is of high quality. Sean and the construction staff were always professional and mindful of minimizing disruptions throughout the project. If you are contemplating having any work done at your home I highly recommend using Petersen Renovations.

I have used Peterson Renovations now for four projects 1) install of door, window, and attic stair in garage; 2) double stair railing and balusters for basement steps; 3) installation of ceramic tile in basement rec room and bedroom (14x40); and 4) replacement of main breaker box and other electrical work. I have been please with each project outcome and the fact that the work was high quality, done in a timely manner, and the final cost never exceeded the estimates. Prices are reasonable and I have recommended this company to several friends and neighbors.

Absolutely the best experience with both Sean and his work that I've ever seen in the greater Stafford/Fredericksburg area in 10 years! I'm serious. If you've tried to hire someone to actually get work done on your home in this part of the country, you know what I'm talking about. I went through three other contractors before finding Peterson Renovations. One guy would never show up for appointments and the other two priced my project a couple thousand dollars above reality with promises of mediocre work. Sean not only took on my master bath (which was falling through my kitchen ceiling), he also corrected mistakes that the builders themselves made in the construction of the home in 2000. While in the middle of the project, our renters accidentally turned on water that caused an additional leak. Sean went to our home at 10pm at night and fixed it on the spot! Have I mentioned that he completed this entire project in coordination with our renters as we now live in San Diego?! Peterson Renovations is the only company I will call for any future projects on my home. We are a Marine Corps family, we are very picky and we have high expectations. Sean exceeded our expectations on every level. Our best & thanks!

I would give Peterson Renovation 3.5 stars if possible. Sean is very professional, polite and honest. The cost was reasonable and when my project (basement) went over budget, Sean explained the extra cost line by line. The over run was due to my change. His two full time employees were very nice and did not mind answering questions or being bothered by a large dog we have. The quality of work was very good overall. I was not very satified with his choice of framing contractors based upon their work. I feel if it had been done by the full time guys it would have been better. Their cleanliness could have been a bit better with the sanding and protection from my finished area of my home, and these are the only reasons Peterson Renovation was docked. I would reccomend them if they can square away these minor issues which should not be a problem.
