FAQs
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
Steve Zarpas said "After building my first bar and getting it opened, I realized I enjoyed the design and build-out process best."
- What types of customers have you worked with?
We've done everything from matching an 18th century wooden gate in a crooked stone wall and a custom dog kennel under the stairs in an Old Town, townhouse to complete renovations of 24 unit apartment building in the historic district of Norfolk, VA.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Ask for license numbers and call the state board to check to see if your contractor has any complaints filed against him. In Virginia, contractor's are licensed through the Department of Professional and Occupational Regulations (DPOR). Don't be fooled into thinking skipping permits will save you money. Permits are for the property owner's benefit. They actually cost very little money and add no extra time to a job.
