Testimonials

Just wanted to send a quick note to say how much I appreciate you originally reaching out to me to start this process. We feel so fortunate to be working with you guys, Chris has really made this process so much less stressful than we had  anticipated. We genuinely feel like he's watching out for our best interest which I know most people don't feel during a remodel.

Hope you are both having a wonderful evening!

As first time homebuyers with a strict budget, my wife and I were eager to make the most of our investment. Chris and Linda worked with us throughout the entire process—from planning and structural design to colors and finishes—to find the right updates that would give us the living space we had envisioned and add value at the same time. Through a whole house renovation, Key Structures helped us transform someone else’s outdated house into the perfect modern home for our growing family.

“I bought my first house from Key Structures LLC almost a year ago, and I couldn't have been any happier with this purchase. It was an old tri-level home that they renovated extensively inside-out to give it a modern look, and they did a great job. The build quality and craftsmanship of their work are excellent, the design of the kitchen and bathroom is contemporary and very well thought out right from the choice of material for countertops, to cabinets, to light fixtures, including the paint on the walls inside and outside the house. Whether you are looking to get your house renovated or looking to buy a property that they worked upon I would highly recommend Linda & Chris Sewell. - Khem Singh, Richmond, VA”

At the recommendation of our daughter, we hired Key Structures LLC to reinvent our
kitchen after flooding caused mold behind all the cabinets, rendering them unsafe and
unhealthy. By the time our work with Key Structures was completed, they had
completely updated the first floor of our home, and built a beautiful sun room in place of
a screened porch damaged beyond repair during the flooding.

We were out of the country while most of the work was done. Linda Sewell worked with
our daughter and us over the computer, recommending cabinets, flooring , paint colors,
etc. She quickly understood our style preferences and her recommendations were
consistent with and enhanced our preferences. She went out of her way to find us just
what we wanted and to negotiate the best deals she could for us.

Chris Sewell and his subcontractors' quality of work was excellent. When several minor
touch-up items arose, Chris quickly and readily had them fixed. We are extremely
happy with our home as it turned out.

The only point of concern for us was schedule. Chris did many tasks himself and they,
thus, took longer than we had expected. We would recommend that others get a
clearer understanding than we did of the time it will take to complete key milestones,
and either accept the timing or work with Chris on ways to shorten the schedule. That
said, we would quickly and heartily recommend Key Structures to others needing
significant home remodeling or remediation.

I'm writing to let you know that Chris built us the most awesome, beautiful, well built home. After 19 years it still doesn't give us any problems structurally and otherwise, unlike some of our neighbors who didn't use Chris as their builder. :)

The house is so well insulated that our utility bills are affordable and the house stays cool and warm when it's supposed to be. Even during those 100+ degree days we have in the summer.

Our termite contractors love the awesome crawlspace that is always dry and well-lit and almost deep enough to stand up. It is so well insulated that it blocks out most of the street noise, even the fire engine when it comes by. ;)

Chris thought about things that hadn't crossed our minds. He was a great ally for me when Bobby wanted to paint the exterior trim an ugly gray. Lol. Chris's desire to provide top-quality materials, not builder-grade materials, for our house was very much appreciated. We will never forget him. If we were to build again, Chris Sewell would be the builder we would definitely choose. Thank you so much for a job well-done!

Sincerely,

We bought our home while it was under construction when moving from Alabama to Virginia. As moving itself offers numerous stressors, we had the additional complication of a strict completion date. Being an engineer for a large chemical corporation who has moved often, I consider myself a discerning home buyer educated with residential construction and it’s process. I was, and remain impressed with Chris and his company as I witnessed them move flawlessly through the completion of our home. Promises were kept with professionalism and, when unsure of anything he let it be known to avoid any miscommunication or misinterpretation. We would definitely recommend Chris Sewell, and therefore a Sewell Home, to anyone who may find themselves in the market for a new home.

Thank you Chris,

Thank you so much for our lovely new home! We have thoroughly enjoyed watching you and your expert crafts people construct our house! Please thank your crews for always welcomeing us at the site and for making us feel like we were part of the team! A thousand thank you’s to you! You are “definitely” our favorite builder!

Sincerely,

Chris built our home and we could not have been more happy and pleased with the entire process.. We have moved many times and this build was an experience that was wonderful! He is the kind of builder that details do not get missed, he consults with the clients and offers ideas that is not only better than we thought but cost-saving as well! We loved the final product, not only because it came in on budget but also on time and the final result was one we could be proud of.. We would have him build or remodel anything we decide to do in future…

Thank you Chris and well done

Chris completed a renovation for us a few years ago, and we are excited to be return customers with a mother-in-law suite we are adding to our waterfront home. We remember the quality, knowledge, and honesty we experienced, and now in the planning stages, we appreciate Chris' patience and guidance in our new project.

I have been selling Real Estate in Hampton Roads for 23 years.   Over the past years I have had the opportunity to work with Chris Sewell and  I recently sold a whole house renovation he did in Larchmont.  What can I say about Chris’ work?  It’s QUALITY!  Chris takes his time and does a GREAT JOB!  You know when you get a house built or renovated by Chris you get an excellent home.

It was great meeting you both at our recent Charity House meeting.
I look forward to working with you during the construction and open house of this years home. I also looking forward to showing you our clubs and our kids who benefit from this project. Thank you for all that you do for our club members.

Thank you for the wonderful job done on our house. We’re so pleased with everything and it is a delight to work with honest, upright people. Never once have I felt uncomfortable and your crew does what it says and is very respectful.

Thanks again, it has been a good experience.

So often we are so busy in our daily lives that sometimes we don’t take the time to say, “thank you.” Well, I don’t want the summer to go by without thanking you for all you’ve done to help with the Oprah House. They say the greatest gift is the gift of oneself, and you have certainly done that. Your thoughtfulness is priceless. Thanks for your gift and for your helping hands.

Take Care,

I could not help but to send you this note. Because of the nature of my work I get to see a lot of homes and even though some people might do upgrades on a kitchen or a bathroom, I must say your work is just beautiful for an entire project. I have had the chance to see your work now in three different homes and WOW. I even got to witness Chris busy at work too, as I was at one of his construction sites one day when he was there busy at work. His attention to detail and doing the job right is very impressive. But even though that impressed me what caught my attention the most, was we are not talking about one simple upgrade, but an entire project. The color choices, the wood choices, the paint, the carpet the whole projects were done with amazing attention to detail and doing the job through right. I like to give credit where credit is due. And you deserve it. Keep up the good work. 

Sincerely,
