Cyrus Construction LLC - Fairfax, Virginia

The pics below are representative of a ~ $12-$15K master bathroom remodel Cyrus did for us. Included demo (removal of tub, sink / cabinet combo, toilet and 2x large wall cabinets), floor reinforcement, permits / inspection, and install of a walk-in tile shower w/ sliding glass door, new lighting, in-wall medicine cabinet, new vanity, new toilet and new flooring.

Went w/ Cyrus not because their estimate was the cheapest, but because of their apparent professionalism. Russel quickly impressed me as someone who would stand behind and guarantee his work. Quality work, professionalism, flexibility and standing behind your work is more important in my book than being cheapest. Russel and his team delivered on all fronts!

As with any remodel, hiccups occurred that extended the timeline, but most delays were my own fault as I dragged my feet picking out fixtures, tile, etc. All my issues / concerns were immediately remedied. Despite a BUSY schedule, Russel was responsive and always eager to look for opportunities to get work done.

We did have one small problem with a worker not securing our front door via the lockbox / key. This happened once, and upon being notified of our concern, Russel did not allow that worker back on our job.

I LOVE our new bathroom and am glad we went w/ Russel & Cyrus construction!

I was looking for the cheapest contractor I could find to finish my basement, which was approximately 1100 sq. ft. of concrete. I spoke with 4 contractors. Of course every single contractor told me different things. I was told I needed to waterproof my entire basement before they could do anything, I needed an additional electrical panel, I needed an additional sump pump and I couldn’t put my wet bar where I wanted it. This was my first experience dealing with contractors in regards to finishing a basement. Needless to say I was very frustrated because no one would give me a quote, they all kept telling me everything I needed to do that didn’t include the finishing of my basement. I had no idea what I was doing, but I did know what I wanted the end result to be.
The PM, Russell Blake, was the person that came and looked at my basement to give me an estimate. He was on time and very polite. As he took measurements of my basement, he did provide me advice when I was telling him how I wanted my basement to look. I appreciated his opinion, especially since this was my first time. He didn’t badger me or tell me I couldn’t do anything. He also didn’t tell me about all these other things that “I was supposed to do first” before I could even start on my basement. He simply showed me pictures of previous jobs and made suggestions in areas that I was unsure about. I did do research and those items that I was told HAD TO BE DONE, were not items that were mandatory in order to accomplish what I wanted.
I went back and forth with the quote between Cyrus Construction and another contractor. Russell was prompt with his responses. Which I appreciate, I do not like to wait more than 24 hours for a business to provide me with information. They were not the cheapest but they weren’t the most expensive. The quote was still within my budget. Cyrus Construction did come highly recommended when I did my research and read the reviews. I did see some reviews that weren’t 5 stars, but I looked at the time of the project, how many negative reviews there were total and how many reviews overall. My concern was the overall rating. I believe you can make some of the people happy some of the time, but not all of the people happy all the time. I also chose Cyrus Construction because they did not BS me!!
Russell was very easy to work with. I changed my mind a few times, but there was never an issue with my requests. Someone was always home at my house, so the workers did their best to stay out of our way and were always very polite. It took about 6 to 8 weeks for my basement to be complete. I added a small room with an egress window, a half bathroom and wet bar to my basement. All areas were fully finished except the gym area, which I had them close off and just add an entry door. I am very picky and a little bit OCD. I went over my basement with a fine tooth comb and provided Russell with my list, which were all cosmetic. Russell made sure that all items were met to my satisfaction before I made my final payment, even down to the smallest detail.
I am very happy with the end result of my basement  I attached some before and after pictures. I am still in the process of decorating, so disregard the grandbaby and toys!!

Cyrus Construction just completed a basement renovation at our home in Falls Church, Va. They took an unfinished basement and turned it into a beautiful space. We added a half bathroom, egress window, a storage closet, and closets for HVAC. The bid, material selection, permits, etc processes were all seamless and expertly handled. They started the project on time and finished in the estimated construction timeline. I was very pleased with the crew, who was diligent and did their best to minimize disruption, and contain and cleanup the inherently messy process. The team was also very responsive on questions and concerns that arose during the project. They also kept us well informed when water or electricity had to be shutoff for brief periods and coordinated with us to minimize the impact. Overall, I am very happy with the finished project, the crew, and whole team who supported the project. We are very much looking forward to using this new space!

I had Cyrus Construction build a wet bar in my basement. They listened to what I wanted and made sure that all the details were to my satisfaction. I am VERY pleased with the responsiveness and professionalism of their staff and crew. I would highly recommend them.

The team at Cyrus Construction worked diligently to design and build an entire basement remodel for our home. The crew was here working hard every day and the project manager was very responsive to any issues, revisions, or concerns. I recommend this company to anyone looking for a large remodel

We worked with Cyrus Construction in completely renovating our townhouse's middle level. Prior to choosing Cyrus we solicited multiple quotes with Cyrus being the most competitive. Their team executed a significant project, including structural changes and a kitchen renovation, under the supervision of a communicative project manager, Farzan. The project stayed within the agreed timeframe, and any budget adjustments were transparently discussed. The team was flexible with adjustments to the plan as the project evolved. We are extremely pleased with the final result and would recommend Cyrus for your remodeling needs.

We recently used Cyrus Construction to remodel both our main and guest bathrooms. Not only were we extremely satisfied with the end result, but we appreciated the attention to detail and frequent updates throughout the process.

We first came across Cyrus while looking online and scheduled a time to meet in the showroom to receive a quote. We initially met with Russel who explained the general process and showed us the selection of materials. We explained it was our first time doing a remodel like this and we were still at the beginning of the process, and Russell was great about answering our questions.

We continued to get quotes from a few other contractors in the area and Cyrus Constructions offer remained very competitive. But what sealed the deal is Cyrus was the only company that followed up with us to see if we had any questions about the process. We ended up deciding to purchase our own tile to get a specific pattern, and Cyrus was not only able to accommodate but again were very helpful and answered questions regarding what additional materials would be needed to actually install and complete the project.

That attention and level to detail continued through the installation as well. Russell made sure to go over the general designs beforehand and then the installers were extremely helpful and would display patterns so we could actually see the various options for the specific details before committing and installing. This really helped ensure we got exactly what we wanted and came through in the final product!

Overall we were extremely satisfied and would highly recommend Cyrus if you’re looking to remodel.

We hired Cyrus Construction to finish our basement, including creating a recreation area, wet bar, full bathroom, gym, and guest space. We researched several companies and received several quotes before making our decision. Cyrus’ bid was very competitive and the reference we called had nothing but positive things to say, so we took a leap of faith. Russell was our project manager and primary contact and guided us through the entire process. He was fantastic to work with and remained committed to our complete satisfaction throughout the project. He was patient, knowledgeable, stayed in regular communication with us and promptly addressed any questions we had. Our construction crew was extremely professional – they worked very hard, cleaned up each day before leaving, and displayed stellar workmanship. We especially appreciated the attention to detail – they made sure every element – from the fixtures to the built-ins– was picture perfect and flawless. The final result is a BEAUTIFUL basement, and we could not be more pleased. We have received numerous compliments from friends, family and guests. We highly recommend Cyrus and would not hesitate to use them again for other projects.
