**★ — donster7d, April 2022**

> Beware, this builder does not take responsibility for the work of his contractors.  When complaints are raised during his project he blames the contractor rather than taking care of the problem himself.  Shady.

**★★★★★ — Lyn Ermer, June 2017**

> Carter built a new house next door to us.  They were incredibly thoughtful, considerate and pleasant. I think their actions speak well as to whom you are dealing with in building a home.

**★★★★★ — John Eaton, Sept. 2016**

> I supply building materials to a lot of Builders in the area.  Carter Inc. is very proactive in researching and building their homes with the best products available, always delivering a top notch product on time.

**★★★★★ — Willson Kitchen Design Studio, Sept. 2016**

> One of the best Home Builders in this area to work for. Very transparent to the customer and always looking to do what is right for the customer.
>
> You can tell the character of a builder by their relationship to the sub contractors. Carter Inc has use the same core subcontractors for years.

**★★★★★ — Michael Slawter, Sept. 2016**

> We have worked with Carter, Inc. for over 20 years. They build quality homes and are great to work with. They give plenty of advance for new projects with a clearly defined scope. They have excellent supervision and office support.

**★★★★★ — Claude C. Lapp Architects, LLC, Sept. 2016**

> Carter & I have worked together for well over 20 years. We have done projects of all sizes & styles. Be it a speculative or custom home, the team at Carter, Inc. treats each project as if it were their own home. They remain up to date on all current trends, are active in the community, and are advocates for the construction industry as a whole. They befriend each client at the very beginning of the project to ensure a smooth and productive collaboration.
> It is always an exciting day seeing a finished Carter, Inc. home. We look forward to many more successful projects together!

**★★★★★ — amybanda, March 2014**

> Carter Inc. is a fabulous builder!! Carter was easy to work with on all levels and does quality work. He stands by his work to this day!

**★★★★★ — tamarahorne1, March 2014**

> Carter Inc built our home in Bethesda and we moved in December 2011. Throughout the building process, Carter and the people who work for him were always incredibly responsive to every question or concern I had. I had as much input as I wanted to choosing how the home was finished and really enjoyed working with Carter and his subs. The quality of my home is very high and I have had only minor problems in the 2 years I have lived here. Even now, if anything comes up, I email Carter himself whenever I have a question or issue and he gets back to me immediately. I really recommend Carter and his company without reservation!

**★★★★★ — jeremy101, March 2014**

> I have worked together with Carter in listing the homes that he builds for over 20 years. The two most important factors that Crater brings to every job he does is the quality of his work and his integrity; and he excels at both. Evermindful, that every project he undertakes bears his name, Carter always strives to make each construction job the very best it can be. The team that Carter has assembled to work with him is extremely organized and makes things very simple for the buyers of his homes.

**★★★★★ — lsrpatel, March 2014**

> My husband and I recently purchased our newly built Carter Inc. home and it is first class all the way. We got what we paid for and we couldn't be more pleased.  Carter Inc has high standards for quality and has delivered on all of our follow-up punch list items.  When we received the keys, Carter Inc did not stop answering calls from us. They continue to deliver on their promises.  Carter, the man behind Carter Inc., even paid us a visit simply to meet us and took notes of any additional requests of ours.  Carter Inc has stellar customer service and most importantly, are not satisfied until we are.
