Resurrection Builders has been in business since 1996. We are a smaller company of 4 employees. Because of our size, we can still provide that personal service customers are looking for. We have a small list of extremely qualified sub-contractors. We would utilize them in a project such as a home addition that required many different trades. However, we maintain resposibility and accountability with our home-owner throughout the job process. Most jobs are paid for with a deposit and a final payment when work is completed. We are not currently offering financing, however, we except all major credit cards. We will offer a $500 discount for any project of $5,000 or more to anyone who finds us on Angieslist.
"Ryan and Tim were absolutely amazing… Every aspect of the large job they recently completed exceeded our expectations in every way. Resurrection has done work for us in the past… and has consistently provided top quality, workmanship… Professionalism… And outstanding surface and follow through. We recommend them without hesitation and we use them for any jobs we have in the future."

Over 35 years of residential general contracting experience in the Charlottesville and surrounding area. We complete projects that span bathroom remodels, basement renovations, and building detached garages and home additions. We follow a process that provides transparent pricing every step of the way. Working closely with our longstanding subcontractors, we are committed to completing our projects professionally, within budget and in a timely manner.
"They did the job right and were very thorough and courteous. It was obvious that they were juggling my project with other projects and that was sometimes annoying. But they handled the two major changes (new color of paint and adding shower doors) very well. They even complimented me on the new paint color because it broke up the monotony of the first color choice and the new color is very pretty. Great experience!"

Magnetrons burn out when their magnets crack, terminals overheat, or internal connections loosen. Excess heat does most of the damage, so make sure the vents stay clear and the unit has breathing room on all sides. Good airflow and routine cleaning go a long way toward keeping the magnetron alive.
Microwave diodes wear out after years of electrical stress or a sudden short. Telltale signs of a failed microwave diode include a loud hum or a sharp burning odor during a cycle. Catching those symptoms early and calling an appliance repair pro for replacement keeps the rest of the circuitry safe and the microwave heating properly.
Warning signs include no heat, sluggish cook times, sparks, odd noises, burning smells, or a unit that keeps running with the door open. A glitchy touchpad or a door that won’t latch also signals trouble. If the microwave is past its 10-year mark, those symptoms usually mean it’s time to repair or replace it.
It makes sense to fix a microwave if the repair costs less than a new unit and the appliance isn’t past its prime. Built-in or high-end models are good candidates for repair, while a budget countertop unit over 10 years old is usually cheaper to replace. Compare repair quotes with new‑purchase prices before you decide.
Wiping down the cavity weekly keeps grease from clogging vents and trapping heat around key parts. A quick steam‑clean with lemon, vinegar, or baking soda loosens stuck‑on food without harsh chemicals.
Sticking to a simple schedule reduces overheating, extends the microwave's lifespan, and helps it reach its full potential. Seeking advice from an appliance repair technician on maintenance tips can help you prolong the useful life of your microwave.
