I initially contacted them to upgrade my kitchen and to build a screened-in porch. However, after meeting with them, I realized that I wanted a contemporary style upgrade to the entire 1950s split-level home with an exterior that matched the interior without detracting from the overall look of the neighborhood. After showing me the architectural plans, they walked me through an immersive 3D version of my home using their new nVision service which allowed me to see, and nearly touch, all the new designs via virtual reality goggles. I was left with a fully modern, warm, and inviting exterior with the new screened-in back porch I longed for; an owner's suite I couldn't have dreamed of; an open kitchen/dining/living space with a new powder room on the main level; and a reconfigured bathroom for my two teenagers that they absolutely love. The president and CEO, Nicole Butler, was actively involved throughout the entire process and helped me make decisions along the way. Do I recommend them? YES - they earned my trust...and delivered on everything I expected and more! ### All 11 reviews **★★★★★ — Jordan, Aug. 2025** > We just finish a project with NGage and had a wonderful experience. From helping provide some design inspiration to taking our own ideas into consideration, Nicole and the team helped us every step of the way. > > She surrounds herself with great communicators and is very transparent providing answers to any and all questions. > > After walking through a home she was working on and seeing our finished product. NGAGE does not setting for great, they achieve luxury. Thank you so much for our beautiful dream home. **★★★★★ — Annette Brown, April 2025** > NGage Properties Group delivered remodeling elements that refreshed and modernized my 3-level 1910 rowhouse in Washington, D.C., a home I’ve cherished for many years. The upgrades included a full kitchen remodel, custom handrails, a reimagined backyard and of course, basic elements such as paint, electrical, plumbing and mechanical work. The different elements suggested by Nicole, some surprisingly simple, fit together beautifully giving the home a modern and elegant look while maintaining its warm feel. > > NGage came highly recommended by my Realtor, and I’m truly grateful I took his advice. I also really appreciated how well NGage worked with my Realtor, ensuring the greatest value for investment. From the very beginning, Nicole listened to my ideas while offering beautiful design options, which provided me complete trust in their process and professionalism. I handed over the keys and returned at the project’s completion to find my home beautifully renewed. > > Since the renovation, several visitors have asked, “Who did the upgrades in your home?” NGage’s work speaks for itself, and I’ll absolutely be engaging them again for my next property. > > Nicole won my trust from the beginning. Her vision, leadership, and ability to breathe new life into a dated home were nothing short of remarkable. She and the NGage team delivered! > > I wouldn’t think of giving them anything less than a 5-star rating—they’ve earned each and every one of those stars. > > — A Grateful and Impressed Client, Chief Strategy Officer, A. Brown **Comment from NGage Properties Group:** > Annette, your words mean more than you know. Thank you for entrusting NPG with a home that holds such deep personal significance. It was a joy working with you and also our privilege to add design and remodeling elements to this timeless 1910 rowhome...one of the reasons we love working in D.C.! > Collaborating with your Realtor—one of our many exceptional referral partners—only deepened the experience. I’m so glad the result feels both modern and timeless. **★★★★★ — Adelphi Rd Home Owner Hyattsville MD, Sept. 2024** > It is with great pleasure and admiration that I pen this review for NGage Properties Group, whose exceptional craftsmanship and unwavering commitment have left an indelible mark on my home renovation journey. > > From the moment construction commenced to the triumphant completion of my remodel, NGage Properties Group exemplified the epitome of professionalism and excellence. Their dedication to every aspect of the process, from the foundation to the finishing touches, was nothing short of awe-inspiring. > > One of the most impressive aspects of the project was the way they tackled the complete gutting of my kitchen and living room. This was done with remarkable cleanliness and organization, ensuring minimal disruption to the rest of my home. The transformation was nothing short of spectacular, with every detail meticulously handled. > > Additionally, NGage Properties Group created a brand-new bedroom with a walk-in closet in a space where neither previously existed. This required both creative vision and expert execution, and they delivered on both fronts. The new spaces blend seamlessly with the rest of the home, reflecting both the functional and aesthetic goals we discussed. > > Their attention to detail extended beyond just the structural changes, rerouting plumbing, adding new electrical and replacing two HVAC units. They laid new carpet and tile throughout the home, waterproofed where necessary, and kept both safety and style in mind at every stage of the remodel. Their careful planning and consideration ensured that the final result was not only beautiful but also built to last. > > What truly sets NGage Properties Group apart is their unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction. They listened attentively to my vision, offered invaluable insights and suggestions, and worked tirelessly to bring my dream to life. Their transparent communication and willingness to go above and beyond to address any concerns ensured a smooth and stress-free building process, reaffirming my confidence in their abilities every step of the way. > > Beyond their unparalleled craftsmanship and professionalism, NGage Properties Group also demonstrated a profound sense of integrity and honesty. They conducted themselves with the utmost integrity, always delivering on their promises and prioritizing the needs and preferences of their clients above all else. Their integrity and trustworthiness are qualities that are all too rare in today’s world, making them a true gem in the realm of home builders. > > In conclusion, I cannot speak highly enough of Nicole and the exceptional team she leads. Their dedication to excellence, unmatched craftsmanship, and unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction have set a new standard of excellence in the industry. If you're in search of a builder who not only renovates homes but also builds lasting relationships based on trust, integrity, and quality, look no further than NGage Properties Group. **★★★★★ — Carlos Villanueva, Jan. 2023** > Nicole and her team did an amazing job in renovating my condo in Arlington, VA in preparation for sale. Since I am currently in Texas, Nicole facilitated the remote process by providing regular status communications, images on progress and overall transparency. The high quality work, design expertise and outstanding creativity allowed the condo to be listed at the top of the price range for the comps in the neighborhood, Great staging as well! I would highly recommend Nicole & NGage Properties to handle any home renovation work and make your home really stand out! **★★★★★ — HU-963526026, June 2022** > If you are looking for a pro to design and implement your home renovation, NGage Properties Group will not disappoint! Nicole provided the vision to remodel our outdated kitchen when we purchased our home. She paid close attention to our personalities and understood the aesthetic we wanted in our home, which she translated into the remodel design. This close attention to detail also extended to the complete resurfacing of the fireplace in our family room and the flooring from the front door, through the foyer into the kitchen, and family room. Nicole kept our budget in mind as we waded through different options, and helped guide to select those that were most pleasing to us and did not blow our budget. Most important, this only took one week to finish! Still today we walk through our home and smile because we love the way the way it looks! **Comment from NGage Properties Group:** > Thank you for your review. The team and I really enjoyed working with you to refresh the look of your kitchen and family room. When you smile because of our work...we smile :) **★★★★★ — Nadege Armand, May 2022** > I had an excellent experience with NGage Properties and will use them again if needed. I had to remodel an entire condo in a short period of time and they were able to deliver quality work on time. The remodeling included: electrical work, new flooring throughout the condo, bathroom and kitchen renovations, lightings, wall removal, dropped ceiling. All this was done in the timeframe that I agreed with Ngage Properties. What I really appreciated is the fact that they are reliable. At the time, I had a very busy schedule and needed the work to get done as scheduled without having to check on their progress everyday. They were the ones updating me on their progress, even when I didn’t get a chance to ask. That gave me total peace of mind. And they were able to complete everything perfectly. > I’ve heard horror stories about contractors before, but I can tell you these guys are true professionals and reliable; they know what they are doing. I was lucky to find them. If you choose to hire them you won’t regret it. **★★★★★ — HU-182189588, May 2022** > Nicole and her team at NGage Properties Group helped us remodel our basement, basement bathroom, and an upstairs bedroom as we were selling our first home. Nicole is extremely knowledgeable and brought her team in the same day to get a quote for the job and timeline. Nicole manages the site and her team and it was all done beautifully right before our open house, where we had a line of 14 people waiting to see the property the first night! The remodeling work helped us to sell our home for the amount we were seeking. We highly recommend NGage and Nicole for all of your home remodeling projects! > > Additionally, Nicole is an amazing realtor, we have used her for purchasing three homes and renovating one. Big fans! **Comment from NGage Properties Group:** > Thank you so much for the review! We always enjoy when our clients come back to do more business with us. We enjoyed remodeling your basement, basement bathroom and creating an additional bedroom on the 2nd level. Thank you for doing business with us time and time again. **★★★★★ — HU-666437487, June 2021** > NGage Property Groups was an excellent experience. Nicole Butler, the owner, really took the time to listen to the wants and desires of my fiancé and me as we embarked on building a home together during the pandemic. Nicole is not just a contractor; instead, Nicole is a visionary who listened to us and pushed our thinking to another level. For example, we wanted basic recess lighting in the kitchen, and she suggested pendants, which are now the centerpiece of our home. We wanted a simple paint job in the bathroom, and she suggested updating our dated shower to a modern and elegant glass shower. > > Most importantly, she never said no to our wants or anything that a home renovation project entailed. Instead, she came up with creative ideas to meet both our desires and dollars. Basically, she took our home from “ashy to classy” and made our house a home that both of us love. If you want to ensure that you are heard and your needs are met, go with NGage Property Groups. You won’t be disappointed. **Comment from NGage Properties Group:** > Thank you so much for reviewing our work. We enjoyed completely renovating your kitchen to create a true open concept with a large island, installing new custom wood flooring throughout your main level, installing a new fireplace surround...complete with herringbone tiles, installing new recessed lights and adding a sleek new paint color on all 3 levels that really elevated the space. We were delighted to have been your contractor/designer of choice. We very much enjoyed working with you and your family! **★★★★★ — Courtney Bradford, June 2021** > Nicole found us a home that wasn't even on the market! We are so glad we took her advice. She helped us buy the home and then she completely renovated the kitchen. We couldn’t be more in love with the final results. We are totally blown away…it exceeded our expectations. We just loved the overall process…smooth and straightforward. We recommend Nicole and NGage Properties Group to anyone looking to buy a home, renovate a kitchen or any other home construction project! **Comment from NGage Properties Group:** > Thank you for selecting us as your contractor/designer and Realtor of choice! We very much enjoyed working with you and your husband to both find your new home and then create an open floor concept to your kitchen. New appliances, backsplash, countertops, flooring and cabinetry really breathes new life into a home just waiting on personal touches. Thank you for being such awesome clients! **★★★★★ — knjuice, June 2021** > After meeting Nicole, I realized that I’ve watched to much HGTV. It takes longer than an hour to put a large addition onto your 81 year old home. Nicole has a great sense of style. Nicole’s suggestions were on point and she was very patient explaining everything to my 80 year old mother. The project took longer than expected due to COVID but the end result was worth the wait. I would definitely recommend NGAGE Properties Group for any home improvement or design project. This is my second home requiring renovations. Her work and customer service is phenomenal; 2nd to none. ## Selected projects - [Whole-House Renovation + 2nd Level Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/whole-house-renovation-2nd-level-addition-pj-vj~7402621) - Location: University Park, MD - Photos: 15 - Description: Complete interior gut and renovation; plus, 2nd level rear addition for owner's suite expansion.
