SVC Homes

SVC Homes performed the renovation of our bungalow in Brookland. Their bid was also much more affordable than the other two bids. The work included converting the front porch into a sunroom, extending our rear breakfast room with all glass enclosure, remodeling our main level bathroom, removing our chimney and converting to high efficiency boiler and HWH. The biggest part of the job was digging down ~2ft, with new underpinning and slab, new plumbing, electrical, framing, etc, and converting our full unfinished basement into a legal 2 bedroom, 1 bath accessory apartment with two private entrances. They also did all the exterior work, including stairways and stairwells, stonework, and railings. Neighbors and random pedestrians have stopped me in the yard to compliment me on the work they have done.
I am a mechanical engineer with a focus on structure, so I am very particular about certain details, and I was pleased to see that he was easy to work with in terms of doing things a certain way, and also very creative when coming up with a solution when a challenge would present itself. And there will be many challenges during construction. I also performed some of the work myself, flooring, kitchen installation, trim work, painting and of course I got in over my head with some things. (It’s difficult to get things done when you have two kids and a full time job) But Sandro was very understanding. He would advise me on standard industry practice, and if I needed help he would give me a very reasonable quote on helping me finish. He was always maintaining contact, and is very organized when it comes to payments and schedule.
His guys are very skilled, clean, and dedicated hard workers. They are very kind, and easy to work with if you are a DIYer.
This was the 2^nd phase of renovation to our house. We learned a lot of lessons from the first phase when it comes to a good general contractor. Price, quality, communication, schedule, organization, and creativity are all important aspects of the job, and SVC Homes gets 5 stars in all categories. I have been recommending them to all my friends, neighbors, and colleagues.

I have nothing but positive things to say about SVC Homes. They recently completed a major renovation at our home. We were converting our partially finished basement into a rental unit. The work included excavating the existing slab and going down another 2ft, underpinning, excavating for a new front entrance, and a full build-​out of the basement apartment. The owner, Sandro, was very professional and attentive to details. I’m an architect, so I am very particular about the work I have done at my house. I was very happy with the work and will continue to use SVC Homes for my future projects.

We are very please with the work done by SVC Homes. We told the owner Sandro what we wanted to do and he did the filing with the county and all. Which, BTW, had the added complication that due to the placement of the house on the lot and changes of code the addition we wanted would not be allowed by the new code, but Sandro was able to file an exception based on grandfather ruling. We had to do nothing at all as Sandro ran all the required negotiations, drawings, permits, etc.
Every job always has complications and beside the code issue, ours had other complications due to where the sewer flush tube was placed, etc. SVC Homes was able to provide a solution, work around the issues and while maintaining code delivered what we wanted.
I realize this review is very positive but anyone can contact me at
if you need further comments or confirmation.

Sandro Villavicencio and SVC Homes Remodel Service
I whole-​heartedly recommend Sandro Villavicencio and his company SVC Homes of Fairfax, VA for home remodeling services. He was referred to me by a military friend in Maryland, who also had a positive experience. Sandro just finished a complete gut job on my 1947 kitchen and remodeled it to its current glory. He does full service remodels and includes the ²⁰⁄₂₀ design of whatever you envision. We are avid DIYers, so we had a lot of input and direction about the design and we were very pleased with Sandro’s patient and professional approach with every decision. He has an amazing crew and they were extremely neat and respectful of our home — cleaning up daily and keeping the dust to a minimum. The whole project was done on time and within budget, we were the ones to add extras and he still kept to the proper schedule. We believe his prices are very reasonable for the full service that he provides. Give him a call for your next remodel or building project!
