Before and After

Thank you for making our recent renovation such a positive experience for our family. Your Christian values shined through in how you managed the project, interacted with your team members and patiently assisted our family in making decisions throughout the process. Craftsmanship, Christianity, honesty and kindness are the words that sum up our whole experience! And to top it off the kitchen is beautiful!! To quote my husband after your team left on the final day: “you can’t find guys better…

My husband, Steve, and I have enthusiastically recommended Looking Up Construction to friends and neighbors. Joe removed some walls and added lighting to our kitchen; we’ve been thrilled with our new open space. Recently he analyzed our external paint failure and has repaired damage and painted with a different product. It looks great!

Our experience with Looking Up Construction was extremely positive. They remodeled a kitchen for us. All of their work was top notch. The crew was courteous and explained each process and was easy to work with. Each day included a clean-up which made a messy job more tolerable for the homeowner! We would recommend Looking Up without reservation.

Joe Barker did an amazing restoration of my kitchen with the help of Ideal Cabinets and G & H Appliances. He was reliable, polite, always on time, professional and inventive when needed. I highly recommend his services!

I’m writing with my highest praise for Joe Barker and Looking Up Construction. In summer 2012, he completed a major renovation on our 1960s kitchen. It included knocking out about 12 feet of wall, putting up a support beam, moving the location of several appliances, and all the electrical, plumbing, painting, and remaining trim work that went along with it. As a person, Joe was a pleasure to interact with. He was always friendly and courteous. I never hesitated to leave him alone in my …

Joe & Looking Up Construction were highly recommended to us, and we were not disappointed.  Joe and his team are very easy to work with.  We really appreciate all his attention to detail.  He listened to our concerns and gave us good recommendations.  We remodeled a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, painted and replaced flooring in much of the house.  Not a small feat!  The team stayed on deadline.  We are incredibly happy with our home now.  We have already recommended Looking Up Construction to se…

Joe Barker at Looking Up Construction has completed numerous projects at my home in Blacksburg.  He has completed a bedroom, bathroom, stairway and deck.  His company also painted the exterior of my home with the deck, balcony and railings.  Looking Up Construction has always exceeded my expectations and finished the work in a timely fashion.  Joe Barker is competent and experienced and I would recommend Looking Up Construction for any home improvement or new construction job.

Your invoice is the first contractor invoice that has ever made sense.

Joe is a professional and reliable contractor whom I wouldn’t hesitate to call again for any project.   When he says he will be there, call you back, send a quote, actually complete a job — he does!   His attention to detail complements his ability to keep the big picture in mind as the project moves forward.  His ability to juggle all the moving parts of a project is impressive.   He communicates well and has great follow-up.  As we progressed through our kitchen remodel, I found him ve…
