These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the website at valorbuilder.com (the “Site”) and any services provided by Valor Builder (“Valor Builder,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By using the Site or engaging us for services, you (“you” or “Client”) agree to these Terms. A separate written construction contract or proposal signed by both parties will govern the specifics of any project; where these Terms conflict with that signed contract, the signed contract controls.
1. Scope of Services
Valor Builder provides residential design-build, general contracting, remodeling, and related construction services in Northern Virginia. The exact scope of any project is defined in a written proposal, estimate, or contract. Work not described in that document is not included unless added by a written change order.
2. Estimates and Proposals
Estimates and proposals are based on information available at the time and are valid for the period stated on the document. Pricing may be revised if conditions change, materials prices fluctuate, or the scope is modified before a contract is signed.
3. Payment Terms
- Payment amounts, deposits, and schedules are set out in the signed contract.
- Progress payments are due upon the milestones stated in the contract.
- Invoices are due upon receipt unless otherwise stated.
- Late payments may accrue interest at the maximum rate permitted by Virginia law and may result in suspension of work.
- Client is responsible for reasonable collection costs and attorney’s fees on past-due amounts.
4. Change Orders
Any change to the agreed scope, materials, or schedule must be documented in a written change order signed by both parties before the change is performed. Change orders may affect the price and completion date. Verbal changes are not binding.
5. Time Is of the Essence
Both parties agree that time is of the essence with respect to payment obligations and Client-controlled approvals, selections, and access to the project site. Delays caused by the Client (including late selections, late payments, or denial of site access) may extend the schedule and increase the cost of the project. Construction timelines are good-faith estimates and may be affected by weather, permitting, inspections, material availability, and other factors beyond our control.
6. Warranty
Valor Builder warrants its workmanship to be free from material defects for a period of one (1) year from substantial completion, unless a different period is stated in the signed contract. This workmanship warranty is in addition to any manufacturer warranties on materials and products, which pass through to the Client. This warranty does not cover damage from normal wear and tear, misuse, neglect, alterations by others, lack of maintenance, or acts of nature. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY VIRGINIA LAW.
7. Mechanic’s Lien Rights
Valor Builder reserves all rights to file and enforce a mechanic’s lien against the project property for unpaid labor, materials, and services, in accordance with the Virginia mechanic’s lien statutes (Va. Code Ann. § 43-1 et seq.). As required by Virginia law, the following notice is provided:
Notice: Virginia law requires that a contractor provide a residential property owner with notice of the owner’s rights under the Virginia mechanic’s lien laws. You have the right to obtain a mechanic’s lien agent designation. Information about mechanic’s liens is available from the Virginia Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation (DPOR).
8. Permits and Compliance
Valor Builder will obtain required building permits unless the contract states otherwise. Work will be performed in accordance with applicable building codes. The Client is responsible for disclosing known conditions, restrictions, HOA rules, and easements affecting the property.
9. Force Majeure
Valor Builder is not liable for delays or failure to perform caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, severe weather, fire, flood, pandemic, labor shortages, supply chain disruptions, material shortages, government actions, permitting delays, or utility failures. The schedule will be extended by a reasonable period to account for such events.
10. SMS / Text Messaging Terms (10DLC)

11. Termination
Either party may terminate a project as provided in the signed contract. If the Client terminates without cause, the Client remains responsible for payment for all work performed, materials ordered, and reasonable costs incurred through the termination date, plus any cancellation amounts stated in the contract. Valor Builder may suspend or terminate work for nonpayment or material breach by the Client after providing notice and an opportunity to cure as required by law.
12. Acceptable Use of the Site
You agree not to misuse the Site, including by attempting to gain unauthorized access, interfering with its operation, or using it for unlawful purposes. All content on the Site is owned by Valor Builder or its licensors and may not be copied without permission.
13. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
The parties will first attempt to resolve any dispute through good-faith negotiation. If unresolved, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or our services shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered under the rules of the American Arbitration Association, except that either party may pursue claims in small claims court or seek to enforce mechanic’s lien rights in court. The arbitration shall take place in Loudoun County, Virginia. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
14. Governing Law and Venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Subject to the arbitration provision above, the exclusive venue for any court proceeding shall be the state or federal courts located in Loudoun County, Virginia, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.
15. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Valor Builder’s total liability for any claim relating to a project shall not exceed the amount paid by the Client for the services giving rise to the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under Virginia law.
16. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last Updated” date reflects the most recent version. Continued use of the Site or our services after changes are posted constitutes acceptance.
