Details is the trade name for Gelari Construction LLC, a full-service general contracting
firm. Currently operating under Commonwealth of Virginia Class B License 2705-088610, we have
both the skills and financial strength to complete your major projects.
Company history
Details was started in early 2004. One of the founding ideals was
to deliver a high level of professionalism and customer service. Tales of woe are common in the industry. Most homeowners know a friend or relative who has suffered from a poorly planned or badly executed project.
Sometimes the best intentions are stymied by a lack of effective communications skills that prevent
the contractor from explaining himself. Other times, it’s the lack of perspective that doesn ’t allow the contractor to understand the goals and expectations of his clients. Whatever the reason, Details is committed to delivering very high quality work. And we want you to enjoy not only
the end result, but the process as well.
Owner biography
Cory Laws has lived in Herndon since 1988, after moving to the area in 1978. After a successful Information Technology career, Cory decided to turn a lifelong passion into his livelihood. Cory has been involved in carpentry, woodworking, and related skills since childhood.
Starting with summers spent at the Boys’ Club, he has had a love of craftsmanship from a young age. From early projects involving wood, metal, plastics, and laminates, he moved to repairs, custom fencing and decks, flooring, and full build-outs. Recent projects have included new and remodeled baths, custom basements and in-law suites, home theaters, crown and other moulding, and renovations of everything from Victorian porches to the entire house.
Cory also enjoys a number of other activities. He excelled at classical piano, clarinet and alto sax, and was a founding member of two bands. Outdoor activities include cycling, golf, tennis, swimming and such adrenaline creating activities as skiing and car racing. He’s even jumped from a perfectly good airplane. His love of cars led to the formation of the Austin Healey Sports and Touring Club, still viable after more than 30 years. A member of the BMW Car Club of America since 1979, Cory has held various positions including newsletter editor and president, and won the national newsletter competition in the early 1980s. As an avid cook, he knows his way around a kitchen, and is happy to show off his talents. Remodeling kitchens gives him particular satisfaction, as he's bought two houses primarily for their kitchens.
