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.

Jamie was seriously amazing to work with. He is an excellent communicator and was completely transparent with us as homeowners. Our project was on the smaller side and he gave us all of our options and the price ranges for each of them. He even provided numbers for other people who could complete the work if we decided to go another route. It was refreshing to get an honest opinion and to trust that he wasn’t trying to take advantage. Definitely recommend!

Lester Contracting just finished building a large screen porch for our home, and we are genuinely impressed. Their work was even better than we had expected, with exceptional quality and meticulous attention to detail. It’s clear they care about doing a great job, and their employees are committed to quality. I highly recommend Lester Contracting for any porch, deck, or other home addition needs.

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!

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

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

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.

An overall awesome experience. The team started the project and made quick progress to completion. Respecting our property and streamlining the permits and HOA process

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

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!

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.

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!

Screened in & replaced railing with vinyl Built additional deck off the screened in porch. Crew did a great job ! Jamie address any concern on the spot and very professionally

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!

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

Jaime and his crew just finished our composite deck and the experience has been seamless from start to finish. Jaime took time to help us review all the options and pricing for each. The craftsmanship on the deck is exceptional and we are looking forward to years of enjoying this new outdoor space. It was a pleasure to work with someone so reliable and trustworthy!

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

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.

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!

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.

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!

We hired Jamie to build a screen porch and deck, and the entire experience was great from start to finish. Jamie’s communication was excellent—clear, timely, and always straightforward. What we appreciated most was that he didn’t hand us off to multiple people like some bigger builders do. Instead, the owner personally worked with us through every step of the process, which made everything smoother and more personalized. Jamie was willing to dig in and tackle custom details that mattered to us, not just push a standard design. Every time we wanted to adjust something or talk through a particular feature, they were patient, helpful, and genuinely invested in getting it right. The craftsmanship shows in every part of the project, and the finished porch and deck turned out even better than we imagined. If you want a contractor who delivers quality work, personal attention, and real collaboration, this is the one to choose.

I decided to remove the desks in my back yard and put a screen porch on. I had interviewed three other companies before I found Lester Contracting. When Jamie Lester came to give me an estimate, he listened to what I wanted and also gave suggestions. No pressure whatever. He was professional and very knowledgeable. Once the contraction started, his team were just as professional. I have never seen employees work so skillfully and particular. Every day before they left they cleaned up everything. So if you are looking for an honest company, Lester Contracting is for you. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Will use them again for my next project..

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.

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.

The deck replacement project completed by Lester Contracting, LLC was excellent! Jamie provided a highly professional job reviewing my needs and making recommendations that exceeded my expectations and within an established budget. Jamie did a great job communicating project management details and timelines throughout the project. The team led by Brian that completed the work was exceptional in every respect as well. They were punctual, polite, professional, and very detail oriented in completing each step of the project. I'm extremely happy with the new deck and would highly recommend Lester Contracting, LLC for any construction related project!!

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 😁

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!
