V.A. and Sons helped us with the exterior remodel of our 21 year old home. Their crew was fabulous to work with, professional courteous, thorough and fast. The cedar, framing of windows and prep for painting was done in three day. The painting started the following week and took 2 days. Gene had the foresight to order materials in advance to ensure they would be available at the start of the project to minimize any delay of our project. I will be calling them when we are ready to start our inside remodel.Services: General construction, Painting, Remodeling

V.A. and Sons did a great job on several big projects at our home. They were incredibly quick and efficent, and their work product was very top-end. They are certainly craftsmen and have a keen eye for making sure all the details are perfect. We have received a ton of compliments about how everything turned out on our house.The bonus was that every single one of the employees and sub-contractors was very pleasant and professional. We truly enjoyed having them around. Plus - Gene is the man!I highly recommend V.A. and Sons Construction!

VA and Sons Construction was amazing to work with. Gene is the general contractor and he was always very responsive and kept us up to date on timelines. Him and his team did a small but complete overhaul of our main bathroom. The final result is gorgeous and feels like I'm walking into a spa. They cleaned up after themselves well at the end (not all contractors will do that). Highly recommend and I'll be using them for all our future projects on this 1950 house.

VA and Sons construction provided a high quality level of work. They started as promised and finished ahead of schedule. Gene kept us informed throughout the project which involved complete siding removal, dry rot repair, new siding and finished up with painting. His on site supervisors, Yury and Victor were on the job everyday and made sure that nothing was missed, very impressed with the entire crew. Thanks for a job well done!!Services: General construction, Installation, Painting

After getting 6 repair/painting bids for residing and painting our West Salem home, we chose VA & Sons Construction and are so pleased with our choice and their work. Their bid was thousands less than any of the others, very complete and easy to understand. Communication between the time they were hired and the time the job started was great. When work started Gene's crew showed up on time every day, worked diligently all day and cleaned up every evening before leaving. The finished job was done on a very timely basis and final clean up was excellent. My wife and I highly recommend VA & Sons Construction. They will certainly be our FIRST call whenever future work is needed on our house. Again THANK YOU GENE MAKARENKO AND YOUR EXCELLENT CREW FOR A JOB WELL DONE.

Gene and his crew are amazing. We had a pipe leak that caused considerable damage to our home. They replaced siding, flooring, cabinets, counter tops, the front door, and did a large amount of painting. They made a very stressful situation MUCH easier. We greatly appreciated their communication, incredible work, and willingness to go above and beyond. His crew were always professional and were available to tell us what they were working on and to answer any questions we had. We will definitely be calling V.A. and Sons for our next home project and also will be recommending them to everyone we know!

Gene and his crew took on the task of stripping and residing our home, while also building a new Trex deck to replace the older one originally built with the house. Gene and his crew were honest and forthright about the process and time that it would take. The crew was friendly, professional, and talented! They knocked the ball out of the park and thanks to Gene and his crew our home looks like a brand new home! We will definitely be recommending VA & Sons, to our friends and family, and would not hesitate to consult and hire VA & Sons for additional work projects, in the future.

We used VA and Sons Construction for 2 projects. They built a free-standing outdoor kitchen/gazebo, complete with plumbing, electrical, and concrete. It looks awesome! Price was fair and workers were professional. It turned out so good that we had them do complete exterior painting of our house. Everything turned out great. Good communication on the projects. We would highly recommend them.Services: Painting, Exterior painting, Plumbing fixture installation

Our family suffered a terrible nightmare of a tragedy this year. In Feb 2021 during the ice storm, 2 giant white oak trees destroyed approximately 25-30% of our home. Having never suffered anything like this before I immediately began contacting several contractors, Remodeling Salem OR (VA & Sons Construction) was one of them.I had about 5 contractors visit my home in the days after to give estimates, with a giant trunk through our home and water pouring in, Gene was the only one who immediately sent his crew out to tarp and take care of things. He humbly told me whether I went with them or not, they were going to fix things for us to make sure no additional damage would impact he house. This level of empathy for what we were going through went a big way with me and I eventually hired him to do a massive repair.Gene was incredibly helpful navigating the complexity of such a massive job, he handled just about everything and worked hand in hand with our insurance adjuster to ensure that we got what we needed. The quality of work is exceptional and Gene's various crews were a pleasure to have in our home. The entire process took just shy of 10 months but it was worth it, we turned a tragedy into a beautiful remodel. My wife and I couldn't be more happy. I will be using this company again for many more projects in the future.Services: General construction, Tile work installation, Install flooring, General door installation, Fan installation, Tile work replacement, Installation, Paint indoors, Refurbishment, Painting, Repair water fixtures, Waterproofing, Exterior painting, Remodeling, Drywall installation, Plumbing fixture installation, Repair flooring, Furniture assembly, Gutter cleaning, Drywall repair, Flooring

What a great experience with Gene and team. They converted my funky old dark garage into a bright and functional art studio. Extra effort and expertise was evident throughout the project. Great communication too. Kept on schedule even through snow and delay in drywall drying for over a week. Very helpful also in fixing a gutter issue had with another contractor. I would highly recommend and will definitely use them again on upcoming projects. A big THANK YOU!Service: Remodeling

V.A. and Sons replaced the siding on my house and painted the entire house. They did an outstanding job. Gene and his crew were courteous and considerate. They completed the job quickly and the price was very reasonable. Much lower than the estimates that I had received from other contractors. I was having difficulty selecting colors for the house and Gene provided helpful advice. I love the job that they did.

We couldn’t be happier having hired VA and Sons for our remodel. The job was completed on time and above our expectations. If you are looking for a company that has good communication, top quality workmanship and is genuinely concerned about your opinion, Gene is the guy for you. He and his team are organized, skilled, on time and clean. We highly recommend VA and sons!

We have used VA & Sons for a wood floor remodel after a water leak and the job was done to perfection. They know how to add value to the service they provide and the customer always comes first. Victor and Jay were the two guys that spent most of their time on the remodel job and we couldn't be happier with their professional attitudes and skilled work. Gene Makarenko runs a quality program and he goes above and beyond for you to ensure you are happy with the job from it's inception through completion. I would recommend VA & Sons for any of your construction needs!

After realizing that our house could not go another year without being painted, I contacted Gene during their busiest time of year for home projects. He called me back right away, and was out within days to give me a bid for the exterior painting and some other minor house repairs. The bid was fair for the work being asked of them. I received a formal contract a few days after that, which didn't have any surprises. The crew showed up when they were supposed to, and took approximately the amount of time Gene specified it would take to get the job done. Gene was in constant communication with me, keeping me apprised of the progress and issues along the way with texts and phone calls. In the end, our house looks brand new on the outside. I am so very happy with their work! They'll be the first contractors I'll call for any future home repair needs!Services: Painting, Exterior painting

5 stars! I actually think they are a perfect 10! Gene and his crew just finished our project and I am so happy. Resided and painted our home and built a new deck and stairs, repaired chimney damage, pressure washed our tile roof, installed a couple new doors and even redid my window screens and door sweeps and trim. There is really nothing they can’t handle or not willing to undertake. The quality of their workmanship is excellent, nothing is overlooked. My next project will start with a call to VA and Sons Construction.

Gene and his crew did a fantastic job on residing and painting our house. They redid our lower and upper decks, stairs, and railing plus front porch railing and new design for our pergola. We are very happy with the work and the time frame it took for this large project! We highly recommend VA & Sons!

Gene Makarenko accomplished already a second contract for us and installed beautiful barn wood in our basement. And again the quality of his work exceeded our expectations. Every worker in his team is highly professional and the job is done in a timely manner or even faster and is reasonably priced. Gene is always personally involved in every detail of the project what makes it perfectly done. We are very happy with the result and strongly recommend V.A. and Sons Construction Corporation.

We just did a major painting job, and other touch up areas on our house recently. VA and sons was very excellent. They were timely on their bid, performed excellent and quality workmanship, and were timely with finishing the job and with billing. I felt that it was a very fair price, and excellent work. I would have no reservations recommending them for any type of this work.Dann Leonard

Gene and his crews have done three jobs for us in the past: an office addition to our house, added a laundry room to our second floor apartment and doubled the size of the "catio" in the shed where our cats reside. In all cases we found pricing to be reasonable, and the quality and timeliness of the work met or exceeded expectations. Gene was consistently on top of the work in progress, including that done by any subcontractors. During the office addition I was out of state for over a week, and he kept me updated via phone as needed. I am currently in discussions with Gene to add a patio cover to our home (wish I had done this when he did the addition, but hindsight is always 20/20). I would strongly recommend Gene and his company for any construction related work you may be considering. He is a no nonsense guy, so don't expect him to play with your dog, but he would do a great job for you!

V.A.& Sons have been outstanding on every job they have done for us! Gene was in charge of our commercial remodel of a 12,000 sq. ft. building. On time and with-in budget, and no corners cut! Then a major bathroom redo at our home! Simply awesome. I recommend Gene and company to all.

Gene and his crew painted the exterior of our house, which was a big job due to dry rotted siding that needed replacing. They did a great job, at a fair price, and we couldn't be happier with the results. I highly recommend them for timely, professional and respectful service.

All the labor worker’s did a professional job. From my first interview of the house needs to the exit inspection.I was informed of what would make us go out of budget (i.e. dry root not visible until all siding & old roof was off). I viewed alongside them of a couple of snags along the way & was offered options. They worked around my budget & my comfort of what was getting done.The coordination of different jobs being done to the house was impressive; from siding, door update, roofing, outdoor plumbing, & gutters (being done during the wild fires) to the house painting getting done just as the first rain came after the fires.The job completion was overview by the company’s owner while the workers waited for job approval & dismissal. While they were waiting one of the workers asked if I needed anything small to be done. I had a new door handle that I was getting ready to replace; not only did he replaced it, he also showed me how to (I had other doors to get to) replace it.This is probably a long review but I thought people should know of the caliber of workers & the quality of job they are receiving. It was important to me that my requests were considered & that all coordinated jobs & their schedules were communicated.Thank you for my green door!

Our project consisted of siding/gutter repair and painting the whole house. Gene and his crew were timely, professional and did a quality job with attention to detail. The price was reasonable and they came in at the estimate. I would not hesitate to contract with V.A.& Sons again in the future. I would rate them a 4.8 out of 5.

V.A. and Sons did a superb job and were our one stop shop for all of our outside remodel needs. From siding and trim work to replacing our upstairs deck and creating a gutter system underneath so that we are able to enjoy lounging in all seasons now, V.A. and Sons met our every need.
