![]() There were a couple service items, but they came back to complete that as well in a timely manor. They're installer was friendly and respectful, and completed the installation in a little over a day. They also did 3D colour renderings of our new kitchen, which was great for us, because it was really hard for us to imagine what the line drawing quote from the other place would look like in the end. We could actually tell the ladies their care about how our space looked and fit with with the rest of our house, and also how it would function for us. The price was competitive with the other company we got a quote from, but the design experience was in a whole different league with Endview. My husband and I got a new kitchen from Endview Kitchens about 6 months ago. I hope this review has the desired effect If I had to do it again, I’d make sure to hold back 15-20%. So, we are not able to use money (holdback) as a way to motivate Endview to satisfy the terms of our contract. Endviews payment terms are 50% at time of order and 50% at time of delivery. This has been going on for over nine months and we still have soft close doors which need to be fixed, sandblasted glass to be installed, rubbing doors which need to be adjusted, poorly painted door/drawer fronts touched up. Justin (Endview’s installer) has be good at responding, but he’s gone silent recently. All our communications with Jacquie have gone unanswered. We were left for long periods of time with missing handles, door/drawer fronts, missing glass inserts for pantry doors, etc. Some of door/drawer fronts were the wrong size, poorly painted, etc. In this instance, the cabinets were delivered late (perhaps because of Covid) and messed up the measuring of the countertops and effected the closing of our house. In each successive engagement the service has gotten worse. I used Endview Kitchens twice before to design, fabricate and install custom cabinets. I’m hopeful that this review will inspire Jacquie/Justin to finally finish off the cabinets (almost 9 months after they were delivered). Evidently, the cabins were built by the city to accommodate war reenactors on the property during plantation events.I’m reluctant to leave a bad review, but feel as though I have no other choice. There lies a collection of cabins located in the woods behind the home – the cabins are very small, with built in bunk-beds. Southeast Virginia Investigations explored the property in 2012 and gathered evidence of possible paranormal activity, such as strange noises and voices on digital recordings. Over the years, varying accounts tell tales of haunting and strange phenomena on the plantation. After a two-year rehabilitation project, Endview was opened to the public as a historic house museum in 2000. The property has been used for military reenactments including events related to the 225th anniversary of the Siege of Yorktown which was held in 2006. An inscription on one of the mantles in the upstairs of the home is a visual reminder of the occupation by both the Confederate and Union forces. The City acquired Endview in 1995 and slated it for restoration. But I’m not someone who’s seen anything, nor do I want to.” ~ Endview Curator, 2012Įndview survived both the destruction of the American Revolution and Civil War. “I’ve had some experiences, but don’t think I’ve seen anything appear. I’m sure there are realms of the paranormal, alternative realities that we don’t understand. During the Civil War, Confederate generals occupied the property, where the plantation residence served as a military hospital during Peninsula Campaign. During the War of 1812, the military utilized the property. General Thomas Nelson’s Virginia Militia used it as a shelter shortly before the surrender of the British. The 247-year-old house and grounds were used by military forces during the Revolutionary War. The admirable captain served as a militia officer, tobacco inspector, and later the Speaker of the House of Burgesses. In 1769, William Harwood completed the Georgian-style house located on the expansive property of the Great Warwick Road – this long road linked the colonial capital of Williamsburg with the harbor town of Hampton. The twenty-four-acre property contains three secondary buildings, two cemeteries, two road traces, and a newly constructed earthen fortification. His great-great-great grandfather Captain Thomas Harwood owned a 1,500-acre plantation dubbed Queen’s Hith, an Old English term meaning “river landing”. William Harwood emigrated from England in 1622. Harwood Plantation is located on Route 238 in the Lee Hall community of Newport News.
