One Source Contracting

We highly recommend Todd and his team at One Source Contracting (OSC). We engaged OSC to restore a 200-year-old hewn log house, deconstruct its previous additions and replace them with a newly designed addition that was better integrated with the log house. The project was ambitious. It was structurally complicated and riddled with unknown challenges associated with integrating a new structure and contemporary systems into an unusual historic structure. We engaged Todd based on his personal enthusiasm for the project, his outstanding google reviews, and his reputation for historic restoration as evidenced by the gallery of photos on the OSC website. Read on for details. The quality of OSC’s craftsmanship is superb – including both structural and finishing carpentry. For our project the team learned to restore chinking on the log house. The exterior window trim was hand cut from old growth timber. The interior trim was custom designed and cut to integrate with log house aesthetic. Every detail of our home was executed flawlessly. Todd consistently demonstrated his commitment to do the right thing – for us as clients and for our project. He fostered a candid and trusting relationship. We were comfortable discussing issues, knowing he would respectfully share rational, and would be accountable if his team was at fault. Most importantly and valued were the times Todd pushed back on a misguided decision we were about to make, arguing with conviction for a solution that was more aligned with our vision for the project and our home. Todd and his team were thoughtful and creative problem-solvers. The unconventional nature of this project meant there were always unusual problems to solve – sometimes structural, sometimes aesthetic. In addition to his own experience and that of his experienced Project Manager JT, Todd was also willing to engage other experts for counsel on issues that were unique to the project. The communication from Todd’s office staff, Ericka in particular, was stellar. Meeting summaries and finishing schedule decisions and rationale were meticulously documented. Email information that passed between OSC and us was timely, comprehensive and constructive. In addition, we were always forewarned about upcoming decisions with ample time to plan, deliberate, or respond. Todd has put together a great team. Every person on the management team was friendly, easy to talk to and seemed genuinely invested in our project. We enjoyed our interactions, even when discussing contentious issues. And the construction team took pride in their work and workspace; the site was always spotless. Now that our home is finished, we will miss having the One Source Contracting team in our lives.

A big home renovation is an inherently stressful undertaking -- particularly for those of us who do it for the first time. Our family bought an old home in a historic Baltimore neighborhood with the understand that we'd have to take on some major renovations. When we met Todd at One Source we knew this was the company for us. In fact (perhaps to our folly) we never even got competing bids. Now that everything is done, I can say with confidence that we did not regret our decision. I don't think One Source is necessarily the cheapest company but they work with great integrity. They have an incredible respect for the historic character of old homes: they want the job done right. And as a family member said to me, better to pay once at front than many times throughout the years to fix what wasn't done right or well. That said, One Source proved willing to work on areas where costs can be cut when necessary. They walked us through various options with patience. The entire team is of the utmost competence. They got all the necessary paperwork done. They kept us on track throughout the process, and we ended with almost no delay over the promised date. Their employees are superb, and they work with top-notch artisans and trades. In every respect the result exceeded our expectations. Also they are all very nice. Most of all, now that the job is done, we cannot be happier with the outcome. It was precisely what we'd hoped. A beautiful old house that maintains its historical character while benefiting from more modern updates that will make it our family's home for the next generation. We are very grateful to Todd and all his crew and will think of them often.

We highly recommend Todd and the One Source team. They did a significant remodel on our house including a completely new kitchen (down to the studs), a new master bathroom (including moving walls), and creation of a second floor laundry room, in addition to smaller projects like flooring and painting. They did a fantastic job and the house looks beautiful. We are very happy with both the process and the final outcome. We would highlight three specific areas where they excelled: 1) Communication - Ericka is very detailed, organized, and responsive. The whole team communicates well and responds quickly, both to emails and to unexpected issues as they come up 2) Resolving issues - Any project will have bumps in the road where something doesn't fit perfectly as planned, etc. It's unreasonable to expect any project to go perfectly, the question is how the contractor handles the bumps in the road. Todd and One Source were great - always acknowledging the issues, figuring out fixes, and taking responsibility when something had to be redone. The One Source team has honesty and integrity. 3) Complicated issues - There were a few times we had issues that we weren't sure could be solved, and the team was able to do it. Notably, we wanted to remove bevels in our floors, a professional flooring store said it couldn't be done, and One Source did it. The floors are beautiful. In summary, we recommend them without hesitation. Quality work, quality people, and a quality experience.

Todd at One Source was very knowledgeable. I had an old stone house to contend with and many unique situations. Structure to design presented a challenge. I appreciated his explanations and education. Though the project involved more then I planned the finished product was amazing.

Todd and his crew did a fantastic job renovating our house during COVID-19. Our house, in Butchers Hill, was a complete gut job. Todd did a great job preserving the history of the house while also giving it a modern look. We absolutely love our kitchen and master bedroom suite.

I highly recommend One Source Contracting. Todd and his crew, office personnel (Erika) are thorough, clean, and dependable. Pricing and contracts are clear. Have done a beautiful job on a major renovation of our 30 year old home.

Worked with One Source Contracting to remodel a gutted house. They did a great job and paid attention to detail, maintained quality, and have provided constant support through the process.

Great company we have used for many projects over many years. Visionary drawings, thoughtful owner and super on site manager. Very happy with outcomes.

Onesource made our home improvement process a pleasure. The design and planning were creative and precise, and the work was done to the highest standards. In fact, we were happy with the cabinets as they were, but Todd noticed some small imperfections and insisted on taking them down to make them perfect. I highly recommend One Source.

One Source remodeled my outdated kitchen, built a brand new screened in porch, and gutted and remodeled my basement. They did an outstanding job! Every detail they did is exquisite. Also, the audio visuals they put in all over the house are simply unbelievable. Most importantly, the employees of this company are delightful and honest....a true joy to work with. I always felt I could say "no" at anytime and they never pressured me for anything. I would definitely recommend them to all!

The One Source team led by Todd has been outstanding to work with, and I can't recommend them highly enough. My home was severely damaged via fire and the insurance process was arduous. Looking for a GC I trusted was another painful process. I needed a partner committed to helping me create a new home - not just a house - and rebuild to the quality level needed for me to feel confident and comfortable. Todd has been phenomenal, from start to (almost!) finish. The care he has taken in making sure I'm getting what I want is a mark of true professionalism and commitment to real service. And, while Mother Nature dealt some blows that slowed us down and added to the statement of work, OS has worked to get us back on track, plus dealt with extra insurance paperwork. I'm looking forward eagerly to the date I move back in and crack open the champagne bottle!! Will post pics!!
