(Roanoke County, VA - March 27, 2024)  Roanoke County’s Department of Development Services recognized Frame to Finish Construction, LLC for its exceptional work at 5266 West River Road in Salem, Virginia. 

Frame to Finish Construction, LLC earned recognition through the County’s Contractor Appreciation Program by winning the  Stormwater Clean Award for its impressive environmental work while building several   residential accessory structures at 5266 West River Road in Salem.  The firm proved exceptionally proactive in its early installation and upkeep of erosion and sediment control (ESC) measures. 

The County inspector, Seth Carswell, said “I never had to ask for any controls to be installed or repaired. In fact, Frame to Finish Construction, LLC has the distinguished honor of never being out of compliance with the County’s ESC regulations during any of my site inspections.” Mr. Carswell went on to say that “this project is a textbook example of what all projects should look like.”

Land development in Roanoke County presents difficult challenges in the management of stormwater runoff due to the very steep slopes and highly erodible soils in the region. Because of these challenges, Roanoke County created a Contractor Appreciation Program to recognize land-disturbing contractors who conduct exemplary work within the County to protect its natural water resources.

Roanoke County inspectors submit candidate projects to a selection committee that evaluates them for recognition. Selected projects are recognized with a Stormwater Clean Award banner, which remains in place on the project site throughout construction. Winning projects are highlighted on the County’s website https://www.roanokecountyva.gov/1780/Stormwater-Contractor-Appreciation and in the Department’s annual newsletter, It’s Just Dirt, which may be viewed here: https://www.roanokecountyva.gov/1648/Stormwater-Public-Education-Documents.
