What Our Clients Say
Over the years, we’ve received many letters, notes, and emails from our clients with praise and thanks. We keep them in an overflowing, dog-eared folder and are inordinately proud of them. Here are a few quotes from that file.
“Our renovation can best be compared to an essential (but extremely invasive and sometimes mysterious) major surgery. Ace’s bit was a bright ray of sunshine in the dark cloud of this project. It is SUCH a joy to have Ace people around.”
– Repeat clients located on Route 250 West in Charlottesville, VA
“We’ve worked with custom home-building firms four times over the years, most recently with Ace.
The house they built is terrific. It was finished on schedule despite scheduling complications caused by the pandemic outbreak. The budget was carefully managed throughout the project with no surprises. Their communication and attention to detail were excellent, which had been a particular concern for me as we were living in Boston during the construction and weren’t able to visit the home site regularly to check on progress.
In short, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better contractor for your home project.”
– David Weber, private client for new home construction in the Turkey Run area of Scottsville, VA
“I hear other people talk about the pains of living through construction projects, and I don’t feel that way. Your men have done an excellent job, leaving everything so neat at the end of the day. Not to mention how wonderful the house looks!”
– Repeat client for home remodeling projects in Barboursville, VA
“My wife and I have worked with Ace Contracting multiple times, as did my father before us. While you could find someone cheaper, I believe you get what you pay for. The quality of Ace’s workmanship is exceptional. Scott Abbott is available and engaged, and all aspects of the project are well coordinated. If you want a quality job, I highly recommend Ace.”
– Peter Scherman, private client for remodeling and new construction projects in Scottsville, VA
“We could not have had a better experience building our new house than the one we had with Ace. Jim’s insistence on getting things right, coupled with a delightful sense of humor, made him a joy to have working for us. The quality of the whole Ace crew is exemplary, and we recommend you with absolutely no reservations. Speaking of which, how does one get one of those terrible Ace T-shirts?”
– Professional architects and clients for large addition and home remodeling in Batesville, VA
“We’ve worked with Ace Contracting on four projects over the last ten years. Quality construction isn’t cheap, but Ace budgets carefully and honestly. Scott Abbott is a perfectionist with an engineer’s mind, and we trust him and the team to be as stringent and careful as possible. We have never encountered a delay without justification or a problem without a reasonable explanation and solution. Communication is good before and during the job. We feel confident Ace can deliver what they promise without our having to monitor everything carefully every day.”
– Ross Grossman, new build client located on Stony Point Road in Albemarle County, VA
“We wanted to let you know how much we like our new house. Your workers’ extraordinary level of craftsmanship is evident in many subtle and obvious ways.”
– New home construction client based in Charlottesville, VA
“Ace workers always show up, even on the bitterest cold mornings, and are unfailingly polite. That matters to me, and it obviously also matters to you. Thank you.”
– Remodeling and new addition client based in downtown Charlottesville, VA
“Bob and I cannot thank you enough for the beautiful screened porch you built for us. Every day we are out there, we have to pinch ourselves as we enjoy this vacation-like oasis in our home—all because of your expertise and craftsmanship.”
– Lili Sweeny, construction client in Charlottesville, VA
“Now I know why Ace has such a great reputation. You’re so professional and such nice people to be around. This was a wonderful experience overall.”
– Private client
“The level of craftsmanship you displayed in remodeling the sanctuary at our church exceeded my admittedly high expectations. I appreciate your flexibility in meeting our ‘shifting sands’ scope of work and scheduling difficulties. This was my first experience working with Ace Contracting, but I hope and expect that it will not be the last.”
