Litkor Remodeling

Allow me to echo the previous reviewers’ comments concerning Tomas and his team — it was almost too good to be true: low prices, itemized receipts, quality work, attention to detail. If you are planning any type of remodel, you should definitely give Tomas a call. However, plan ahead, he’s booked months in advance, and I’m sure as the word gets out, it will be even more difficult to get on his schedule.
Tomas completed our basement finishing project which included several elements including electrical work, plumbing for a wet bar, hanging cabinets, moving washers/​dryers, and adding a new exterior door and lights. He is completely flexible on the materials he uses, and had no problem allowing me to order certain items myself (ceiling tiles, hardwood flooring, faucet). He made excellent recommendations on vendors (discount on granite), flooring, light fixtures, and even paint colors.
Being an old house, several small issues arose throughout the project that Tomas handled with ease. He performs a lot of the work himself, as well as with a rotating staff of 4 – 5 people who were friendly and skilled workers, themselves. Tomas communicates via email in near real-​time, so issues and questions were quickly resolved. Since the project was based on a contract, schedule slips were not a major issue (for us, at least).
People that have seen our new basement are floored by the quality of the workmanship. It’s the small things, like multiple coats of paint and properly cut baseboards and trim that set it apart from rushed projects I’ve seen in the past.

Tomas Piatakovas is the best! He worked closely with me to reschedule when external events caused a delay in the work starting. He’s a skilled craftsman. He installed a tile back-​splash in the kitchen, under-​cabinet lighting, built out a master closet, created and installed shelving in three closets … He will be back for more effort.
His written estimate was on target and exceptionally reasonable. His work is neat and he provides excellent customer service.
Thank you!

Litkor Remodeling has been our house’s best friend. It all began with the total updating of a bathroom. Litkor redid everything – demolition of the old walls, new buildout, new fixtures, tile for floor and walls, painting, plumbing connections, new light fixtures, a custom linen closet, and a new door. They even stained the custom woodwork to match the vanity!
Work was completed on schedule and within cost estimate! (About 2−½ weeks and a very competitive cost – actually much less than the quote from Home Depot’s remodeling department.)
Tomas Piatakovas, the principal, is the best. Not only does he manage his work crew well, but he is also a craftsman with excellent instincts about interior decorating. He also took care of all purchasing, providing us with receipts and documentation.
The Litkor crew is also versatile: They’ve repaired our deck, installed new concrete steps, and have solved numerous other small headaches.
We’re hoping to schedule Litkor to return later this year to install new hardwood floors and install new walls over the wood paneling in our 1950s house.
Rock solid! Highly recommended.

Perfectionism can be a liability on occasion — but never when youre dealing with contractors.
Tomas Piatakovas is quite simply the best contractor Ive ever worked with — hes a skilled carpenter, painter, plumber and electrician. He’s reasonably priced, safety and detail oriented, offers thorough written estimates with clear cost breakdowns (how often does that happen?) and is committed to providing outstanding service. Licensed, bonded and insured for DC and Virginia. He refuses to take on jobs where he cannot be confident of exceeding expectations. Yeah, hes that good.
He and his partner Bronislav do all the work themselves — NO SUBCONTRACTORS — they’re honest and takes tremendous pride in the quality of their work — they are perfectionists. Kitchen remodels, bathroom makeovers, finishing basements, tiling, carpentry projects, you name it – Litkor is the first place you should be calling.
Tomas is also a terrific problem-​solver — we’ve had to deal with a few thorny problems living in an older home and we havent yet found an issue where Tomas didnt find a thoughtful, budget-​conscious solution that worked better than we might have hoped.
Tomas and Litkor are in high demand, and in a business that often leaves you pulling out your hair, rightly so.
