My husband Josh and I are new to the Cape Charles area and came across Ron to help us make some updates to our home. Not only does Ron do great work but hes a real pleasure to work with. We appreciate that Ron is always straight forward with us. If theres a job that he thinks we can do on our own, he gives us guidance on how to do it. Ron is a Jack of all trades and does most things, however, we recently needed HVAC work done and called Ron just to make sure we were getting good advice from the technician. Hes that trustworthy!

Living across the country from where our house is deems difficulty finding a contractor that is fair, true to their word and do quality work without you being there to supervise. We found all that in R.W. Harlow & Associates. We met Ron several years ago and finally were able to get him to do some work on our house after having some disappointing work from other contractors. Ron and his crew did wonderful work on painting our trim as well as many other little jobs that most contractors would turn their nose up at. His team works quickly and efficiently, getting all scopes of work completed in a

Ron is the definition of customer service. Customer service is putting yourself in the other persons shoes. My entire office in RVA will gladly recommend his services to anyone. Finding not only a good worker but a good person is like finding a needle in the haystack, Ron is a needle! Thank you

Ron has been our go-to guy for home projects for 6 years. He has done electrical work, dock repair, built a boat rack, built a deck, poured a patio and much, much more. We have been very pleased and recommend him without hesitation.

Ron has helped me out with 2 jobs so far... first one was installing a tankless water heater. It's the kind of job many contractors just don't want to bother with. But Ron shepherded that job and helped me out of a bind. The second job was replacing all the tongue and groove decking that was on our front porch. The existing boards were dry rotting and generally looking terrible. Worse yet, whoever did the prior work gerry rigged it so badly that it was borderline unsafe. Ron, fixed the issues and replaced the entire porch with good pressure treated decking. It looks great. But Ron got job done
