It was a pleasure talking to Mr. Jamie Lester about a small project. I appreciated his truthfulness and honesty about the best available options for me. He told me that it would be in my best interest to work directly with two of his vendors instead of working with him. I hope to work with him in potential future projects.

I hired Lester Contracting to replace an existing deck that was 12'x28'. They did tear off and rebuilt the deck in 1 week. They had to come back and finish up some details which they did. The crew that did the work was very good. They paid attention to detail and took much pride in their work. The yard was left neat every day when they left, and all trash was taken away by the workers. I highly recommend the work that the crew did, and we are very happy with the deck.

We contacted Jamie after receiving a recommendation from the project manager of our new home development. After meeting with Jamie to discuss our deck project, he presented plans and a quote. The quote was reasonable, so we decided to go with Lester without obtaining any other quotes. The crew worked all day, only stopping for a lunch break. Their craftsmanship is exceptional. They cleaned up the yard, leaving it as it was prior to the build. I highly recommend Lester Contracting if you are looking to add a deck.

We had our screened in porch remodeled by Jamie and his team. It completely revitalized our space. The 3 season windows that were installed, are perfect. The pricing was below other estimates we had and the prep work all the way to the installation was extremely professional. Thanks Jamie.

Great experience getting a new deck from Lester Contracting! Very thorough estimate provided. Very quick demo of the old deck and very thorough installation process. Kept me updated with any issues encountered during the process (found rotten wood on the sunroom the deck was attaching to) and remedied issues quickly. Would highly recommend!

Jamie and his team recently completed our existing deck demo and rebuild to a new composite deck. The entire process took a few months with city permitting but Jamie was upfront about the expectations and was excellent in communicating updates start to finish. We are very satisfied with the end result!

Jamie was great at figuring out how to work around some quirks of our existing porch and did fantastic work replacing most of it and building new (and much safer) stairs, exactly as promised. Would definitely recommend.

Lester Contracting replaced our existing wooden deck with Trex in the spring of 2023.  Our new deck looks amazing and has eliminated from our lives forever the dreaded stain project that took days to complete because of all those rail posts that took hours to stain.  Jamie’s crew demoed and hauled away the old wooden deck, kept the work site organized and completed the project on time in under a week.  Our neighbors loved our new deck and had Jamie replace their old wooden decks with Trex, too.  I’d definitely have them do another project at my home.

They are very professional. Jamie even did a job for me on a Sunday because I needed done for some closing inspection. Very nice and professional and reasonably priced.

Jamie built a large custom wood wall shelving unit & display cases for our retail shop. He was professional, timely & very reasonably priced.

I recommend Lester Contracting because they are very reliable, professional, and affordable for all your construction needs. They do beautiful work. You won't be disappointed.

Jamie Lester was wonderful to work with, very professional, so reliable and did a fantastic renovation of our 12 year old screened porch. His crew replaced all our rotting wood slats, interior coffee ledge rails with vinyl, put in a new screen system , new exterior door and exterior steps down to the patio. The project was done quickly and right on schedule within the timeframe Jamie committed to. I highly recommend Lester Contracting and love my basically new screened porch.

Lester Contracting replaced my large wornout wooden deck and pergola with a nice Trex and aluminum deck. The attention to detail is evident, and Jamie worked a steps solution with me that solved my access concerns. He was very attentive during the process and responded to any concerns I had immediately. The deck is beautiful and getting lots of positive feedback.

Lester Contracting recently completed a beautiful screened porch at our house in Hanover. Jamie was thorough from start to finish and paid attention to all small details. We love the porch and highly recommend his service. The work was completed in a timely manner and at a fair price. Every labor worker he sent to our house was friendly and did great work. The job site was cleaned daily. We will be using and recommending Lester Contracting for future projects. Thanks for a seamless beautiful job!

Excellent quality and craftsmanship! Pleasant and kind to work with.

Jamie Lester and crew were awesome. Knowledgeable and trustworthy are all I can say. Initial consultation helped us bring our vision into reality, as well as address (and sometimes ease) our concerns with our previous deck removal. The process was incredibly smooth once work got started; they clearly came in with a plan in hand and mind. They also cleared out a lot of the stuff previous owners left below the deck, as well as handle some surrounding downspout issues. After they were done for the day, they'd clear their workspace and debris as if they were never even there. Overall very impressed with the work.

Was very thorough when communicating information. Job turned out great.

We appreciated the professional and quality work with Jaime and the team. We are very happy with our deck extension!

Jaime was incredible! he completed our project within schedule and kept the job site cleaned of debris every single day. The quality of his work is only surpassed by his friendliness and professionalism. If you are ready to do your project, don't look any further, Jaime and his crew can do it at an amazing quality and reasonable price! We look forward to use his services on our next project!

We had Lester Contracting LLC build our screened in porch and new deck in Henrico. Jamie, the owner is very professional and detailed oriented. He was very patient with any questions we had. Jamie's employees were good at their jobs and always cleaned the jobsite daily. We are very pleased with the final product and would highly recommend Lester Contracting to anyone.

Lester Contracting rebuilt my back deck with TimberTeck in July 2023. The finished project is well built and looks beautiful. Jamie was very thorough, explained exactly what was going to be done and included in the contract. His men were always on time, very respectful and mindful of the neighbors, worked well together without wasting time or materials, able to consult with Jamie if I had concerns, and willing to work longer days to complete the job earlier that anticipated. Very professional company that I highly recommend.

My husband and I had been eager to redo our wooden deck since moving into our home two years ago, but knew it would be quite the undertaking. Lester Contracting handled the job with ease in about a month! The crew of two-three worked hard to remove prior boards, structurally redo the basis of our deck/stairs, install a rain escape drain system, and complete the deck with Trex. We went with an inlay of Pebble Grey and bordered the deck with Winchester Grey. If you’re in the market to upgrade your deck (and you’re tired of constantly staining old wood) we would highly recommend Lester Contracting! Here are some before, during, and after photos!

Fantastic service and price! Their attention to detail is exceptional and are very efficient from start to finish! I have used them for a deck and screened in porch and both were great. Highly recommend them if you want an excellent deck at a great price!

Jamie and his crew did a great job building my new deck. Jamie was helpful in offering design ideas and made sure the job was completed on time. I would highly recommend Lester Contracting!

My wife and I had Lester Contracting come and knock out the walls between our living room, dining room and kitchen to create an open concept floor, renovate our kitchen, install new hardwood floors, and renovate our hall bathroom and I couldn't be happier with the results. From the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, Lester Contracting was professional, courteous, and kept me updated on the progress of the project. They were also very patient with my many questions and changes. Jamie’s team was also top notch. They were always on time, respectful of my home, and did a fantastic job of cleaning up after themselves. They were also very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions in a way that I could understand. They used high-quality materials and paid attention to every detail, even the ones I didn’t think of. The finished product is beautiful and functional. Here are some of the things that I particularly liked about Lester Contracting: -They were very responsive to my emails and phone calls -They were always on time and on budget -They were very patient with my changes -They did a fantastic job of cleaning up after themselves -The quality of their work is outstanding I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a general contractor.

Lester Contracting is the best company I’ve ever done work with! Super professional work and always satisfied with the end product. I recommend them to anyone needing any work - big or small!

We started contacting deck builders for over 2.5 years, and we either didn’t receive a call-back, or was quoted an outrageous amount. When we contacted Jamie Lester, he responded within an hour and followed-up with a walk-through within a week…as well as a quote the following week. When the deck was being built, the foreman and deck builders were like watching an orchestra, with precision, and, carefully cleaning-up afterwards. We were thoroughly impressed by the finished job of our new ‘Saddle’ Trex decking with white rails! After the job was complete, there were a few boards that had some scratches or cuts on them, and Jamie came back out within a week of contacting, did a walk-through and replaced within another week. Everyday, we look out the window (and of course walk-on) and are amazed at the design of the Trex decking system. When the sun is at different angles, the decking has a unique look to it, because of the texture it has. We can’t use enough adjectives to describe the amazement of how it looks! We highly recommend Jamie Lester Contracting, and his professional builders, and plan on having our kitchen cabinets replaced, as well 😁

Jamie is on a second project for me, and he is GREAT! I would recommend him to anyone wanting a job completed with perfection and professionalism. He is the one I will call for all my future projects!

We made the decision to add stairs and screen in our builder designed covered porch months ago. My husband picked Lester Contracting based off of posted comments that precious customers had left about their experiences as well as photos of their work. I am so glad that he did. The craftsmanship that was applied to the job done on our porch is beautiful. They had to tear down the existing porch railings and columns, which was scary as a home owner, but what they replaced them with is sturdier and more appealing to look at. We originally didn't have the practical use of being able to go downstairs from our backporch, but now we do. Amd it is so convenient with having a dog. I dont have to worry about dirt being tracked on the carpet in the basement which was the only way out back before. I love the glass door that matches our storm door in the front of the house. If we wanted to, we could have had the screen door installed and we can still switch it if we want to later. All in all, the workers were diligent and timely. I have no complaints about their work ethic. If I needed another job done, I would give them my business again, 100%. They did an excellent job.

From start to finish, Jamie Lester and his team worked to build our new deck with professional speed and care. Jamie is a welcome rarity these days - an honest contractor who kept me up to date throughout the process. Bryan and his crew (Andreas and Raul) are incredibly hardworking, and it’s a pleasure to have met them. Even our dog agees - the new deck is beautiful!

Lester Contracting installed vinyl lattice under my screened in porch. I am very happy with the look of the lattice. The installer's attention to detail & flexibility (adding an access door the day of installation) were excellent. Thank you for a job well
