Elliott Salser

President

Elliott earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Building Construction from Virginia Tech.  He is a NASCLA-Certified Contractor, with Class A Licenses in several states, is OSHA 30 Certified, and carries a Virginia Real Estate License.

​

Elliott’s early construction management experience with commercial general contracting firm MEB Inc., taught him the value of formalized processes, tools and methods based on the best practices in commercial construction. This acquired knowledge, and the skills and disciplines necessary to manage very complex large-scale building projects, continues to be the basis of his ongoing success.     

 

In 2014, Elliott formed his first company, LVA Properties LLC, building custom residential projects and historic renovations.  After four successful years, LVA was acquired by a multifamily real estate investment firm and merged with the construction arm of their investment group.  During this time, Elliott grew their construction company from the ground up, successfully building and implementing value-add renovations of numerous apartment complexes throughout the mid-Atlantic region.  After three successful years, Elliott decided, once again, to venture out and build yet another successful company, but this time with a greater purpose.

​

Elliott founded Black Oak Construction with a simple vision that represents his values, and what his experience has shown makes great companies successful.

​

 · Operate with the highest integrity and openness with clients, employees, and subcontractors

 · Add more value to clients beyond traditional roles and services

 · Continuously improve every aspect of the business to achieve the highest quality

 

Elliott's passion for building is evident in each project he builds.  He is a high-quality, professional builder who wants to work with each client to make the process enjoyable and transparent. . His standards are very high, and he won’t leave until you are completely satisfied.

 

When not on a job site, Elliott spends his time with his wife and two young children.
