This was our first major home renovation project and we couldn’t be happier. From the initial design phase, to demolition, to installation- the hammer team was communicative, thoughtful, prompt and professional. We enjoyed working with Doug, Johanna, Santiago and Nelson. They did a great job of expectation setting before demolition on what surprises we might encounter in a 100+ year old row house. They helped amend our timeline and adjusted to our needs for the arrival of our firstborn and amended again when the baby was born early. They have high standards for look and quality and helped provide guidance when we needed it. We are very pleased with the end product and would definitely recommend hammer for anyone looking to remodel. **★★★★★ — Kelly Bennett-Nickerson, Feb. 2024** > Our experience with Hammer was exceptional. We had a fantastic Project Manager who was really good at communicating which is always important. They worked hard, were thoughtful during construction, and produced a stunning kitchen. We are very happy with our experience with Hammer. **Comment from Hammer Design Build Remodel:** > Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that Renzo and our team provided you with exceptional service and communication throughout your kitchen renovation. It was a pleasure working with you, and we're delighted that you're happy with the results. Enjoy your stunning new kitchen! **★★★★★ — Aine Farrell, Feb. 2024** > Five stars for Hammer Contractors! I had been putting off renovating my historic DC rowhouse for years and it needed some serious work. I was totally overwhelmed and didn't know where to start. Hiring Hammer was the best decision! They walked me through the process from start to finish, explained all the options, and came up with plans for me at different price points. I never felt rushed in my decision making and I really appreciated the time and attention they provided when discussing my options. During the renovation my project manager, Victor, and designers, Johanna and Rebecca, were in constant contact with me to ensure our project stayed on track and within our budget. My home now has new level flooring, a beautiful new kitchen, and an ensuite bathroom. It is unrecognizable (in the best possible way). I couldn't be more pleased with the results! In the future we plan to remodel the basement to make it a separate unit and we will definitely use Hammer! **Comment from Hammer Design Build Remodel:** > Wow! Thank you for the amazing review! We're delighted to have been a part of transforming your historic DC rowhouse into a stunning home. It's wonderful to hear that you appreciated our attention to detail and personalized approach. We can't wait to assist you with your basement remodel in the future. **★★★★★ — A Gold, April 2023** > Victor Alcantara and his team did a fantastic job leading a major home renovation project in Bethesda this year. Victor is extremely careful and diligent in his work and management of projects. He truly cares about the quality of his team's work and is always available to answer questions or address concerns. We found it very easy to work with Victor and were able to truly trust him. We would highly recommend Victor to anyone considering a home renovation project. **Comment from Hammer Design Build Remodel:** > Thank you for your glowing review! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with Victor and our team. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we're grateful for the opportunity to help bring your home renovation dreams to life. **★★★★★ — Rob & Emily Page, Feb. 2023** > We worked with Hammer to renovate our kitchen, living room, and master bathroom. We found their work to be exceptionally detail oriented. We particularly enjoyed working with Johanna as the designer and Victor as the project manager. > > Johanna spent hours identifying solutions for our house, including finding an in-ceiling mini-split and an exceptional door for an atypical space. She would push back gently on any ideas that she thought wouldn't work or would cost too much beyond what we had targeted. > > Victor came on as our project manager midway through the project, and we particularly enjoyed working with him. He was extraordinarily detail-oriented and very good at communicating. Despite being new to Hammer and our project, it was immediately clear through his knowledge of our project's details during our first meeting that he was someone dedicated to delivering a great project and fantastic experience. He spent hours talking with us and provided detailed follow-up notes. > > Although the project did take a little longer than expected, there were no major hiccups, and if Hammer came to us with any small problems or changes, they also provided multiple options for solutions. If there was ever a slight mistake, they corrected it - they truly strived to deliver what was agreed to. Victor was very conciliatory and regretful when explaining why a relatively minor aspect of the project could not be delivered as desired. > > Hammer managed all of the details of inspections, paperwork, and contractors. They treated our house with care. For finishing work (painting, drywall repair, etc), we admired the skills of Manuel and Carlos, and found them to be exceptionally kind and highly skilled. They were personable and even shared about how they did some things. > > During the project development stage, Hammer worked with us to set some cost expectations where the cost of the project might increase. For example, the expense of a new electrical sub-panel was not included in the project but they told us how much it would be in case we did need to add it (fortunately we still have a single opening in our current utility box). They know it is not in anyone’s interest to have a significant cost arise during the project - especially when there is a statistically significant chance of it occurring. Elsewhere in the planning phase, they investigated behind our walls multiple times before major work commenced to refine what they needed and provide more accurate cost estimates. > > Overall, we really enjoyed working with Johanna and Victor and would be happy to collaborate on another project with them in the future. **Comment from Hammer Design Build Remodel:** > Thank you Rob & Emily! It was an amazing experience for us to work with your family and truly an honor that we could be your design-build firm of choice. Your review is greatly appreciated. Thank you again for taking the time to show your continued support for our company and for choosing Hammer! We look forward to working together again in the future. **★★★★★ — Chien Yoho, Oct. 2022** > We found Hammer on internet searches without prior recommendations. This is a whole house rebuilt job. Hammer's design team worked with our ideas then created a plan better than what we imagined. Hammer's production team worked solid, paid attentions to details and are responsive to all concerns we encountered. We highly recommend Hammer. **Comment from Hammer Design Build Remodel:** > Thank you so much for your review! We enjoyed working with you on this remodel. It is truly one of our favorites! Thank you for trusting Hammer to make your vision come to life. **★★★★★ — HU-929713745, Jan. 2021** > Highly recommended. I hired Hammer to renovate my cooperative apartment, including entire redo of the kitchen and bathroom (including moving some walls to create new space), revision of closet doors and spaces, refinish of all hardwood floors, install ceiling lighting/fans, and fix old electrical outlets and breaker box. It was a big job in a coop apartment requiring some serious interaction by Hammer with the Coop Board and neighbors (and also during COVID, requiring certain shut-down periods and special protections required by the building). Hammer folks were on top of it all the way; incredibly helpful in working with the Coop & neighbors; kept me updated; were extraordinarily easy to communicate with and get responses from very quickly; and generally great to work with. And I say this as one who is most often disappointed by home service providers. I'm thankful that I could be so pleasantly surprised by my experience with Hammer. And the final result was really of fine quality. Walls taken down & new ones installed; hardwood flooring added to match to existing & all refinished; all the new kitchen and bathroom elements turned out excellent. No shoddy work here. Moreover, there were several original architectural details, such as original 1920's glass-paneled doors, that Hammer refinished and maintained in great shape. And all little punch-list items were fixed perfectly by the end. **Comment from Hammer Design Build Remodel:** > Thank you so much for your review. Renovating through COVID was quite an experience, and we sincerely appreciate how great it was to work with you to create a beautiful update to your entire home. We look forward to working together again in the future! **★★★★★ — Megan Hammaker, Nov. 2018** > Our small "water issue" job turned into a complete back of house two story renovation. Hammer did a fantastic job, and helped us get through the project as new homeowners who had no idea what we were getting in to. We had a lot of structural and framing issues that affected a lot of the trades on the job. Between managing our plumbing updates around our existing ductwork, structural updates, complete exterior update, they kept us informed of all our options and provided ways so stay on budget. Greg was always there to answer any questions, no matter the time of day. We are very appreciative of him and his team. The team went above and beyond several times to make the final product a cohesive one (ie finishing the new floor path to match the old on their dime/time). Huge thank you to him and his team. **★★★★★ — Hannah Holden, Nov. 2018** > Like many other DC homeowners, we purchased our row home “as-is” in July of this year. We knew that we would need some work done to fix what we believed to be “minor” water damage issues. Well, long story short, it turns out the entire back of our house was falling apart from a combination of water and termite damage and we needed all new plumbing. Hammer has been a silver lining in this otherwise trying time. Greg has worked with us over the past 2+ months to stick as closely to our budget as possible even in the wake of new and expensive discoveries that have popped up during the remodel. Greg’s team is professional and respectful. They took our concerns seriously, including the one about keeping our two cats safe from the construction work. Although it is unfortunate that we needed the extent of work done that we did, we are very glad we chose Hammer to help us. Greg had to coordinate numerous different trades because of our extensive list of repairs, and we felt confident in both his ability to do so and the ability in the different contractors he worked with along the way. We look forward to working with Greg and Hammer in the future, hopefully on cosmetic rather than structural work! **★★★★★ — A Dunn, Nov. 2016** > I cannot recommend Hammer Contractors highly enough. The company remodeled our master bedroom in October and we are thrilled with the results! From the start, our designer listened to our needs, provided insightful feedback and ultimately created a beautiful rendering that matched the final product. Following the design phase, our project manager was in constant communication with us regarding timing and costs to ensure our project stayed on track and within our budget. When an unexpected issue arose, the project manager walked us through his findings and provided a range of options, instead of trying to force us into a costly fix. The crew members assigned to our bathroom were very professional, in addition to being skillful at what they do. We plan to remodel our kitchen this Summer and definitely plan to use Hammer! **Comment from Hammer Design Build Remodel:** > Thank you so much for your feedback. Your master bathroom turned out gorgeous and the entire team was excited to see your vision for your space come to life. Thank you again for choosing Hammer! > > Greg > Senior Project Developer > http://hammercontractors.com/bathroom-remodeling-service/ **★★★★★ — toddelaine123, Oct. 2016** > Hammer Contractors designed and built a family room/ bedroom at our home. > All persons associated with Hammer from managers, staff, construction employees were professional, congenial, proficient and apt in providing an amazing experience resulting in our beautiful addition. > The Todds **Comment from Hammer Design Build Remodel:** > Thank You! We truly enjoyed working with you and feel honored to have been you contractor of choice. Thanks again for taking the time to show your continued support for our company! > > Best Regards, > > Greg & the Hammer Family! **★★★★★ — swrep5571, May 2016** > Sherwin Williams has been Hammer Design Build's preferred paint vendor for years.

This is a custom made vanity, designed by our team and fabricated by a local Amish millwork shop. The wood species is walnut with a natural or clear stain. **Q: paint color** *(in Photo Questions)* hi what is the paint color? A: Thank you for your comment! Unfortunately, in this project specifically the Homeowner had their own painters that completed the painting after we finished the build. We don't have the records for this off white color :/ **Q: Love the Wallpaper in this powder room!** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you tell me where I might locate it? Thank you. A: Hi! Thank you for asking :) We used the Pergola wall paper from Anthropologie https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/pergola-wallpaper Happy Remodeling! Hammer Design Build Remodel **Q: I am looking for this wallpaper?** *(in Photo Questions)* I would like to do a single wall of this wallpaper in my powder room, can you please advise where I can locate? A: Hi! Thank you for asking :) We used the Pergola wall paper from Anthropologie https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/pergola-wallpaper Happy Remodeling! Hammer Design Build Remodel **Q: I love this layout, would like to know the cost for Room 11’9” x 96”.** *(in Photo Questions)* I have a room with space for 11’9” x 8’ height that I would like to built this entertainment center. What would be the cost? A: Hi! Thank you for your question. Depending on your choice of features, door style, finish etc, the cost would be between $ 9,600 to 11,800, plus shipping/handling, plus installation (if you are in the DC market area). This install included built in speaker integration, TV mounting system, and AV integration as well. Design is included within the custom cabinetry order and the stone counters would also be an upgrade. Where are you located? **Q: Where are the table and chairs from?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hi! The table is from West Elm and the chairs are from Room and Board. Thank you for your question! We do a majority of our custom kitchens and remodeling in Washington DC, feel free to let us know if we can be of any help in the future. Happy Remodeling! --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
