My bathroom is gorgeous and looks so much brighter and crisp compared to what I had before. They keep open lines of communication in both text messages and in email, so it's easy to keep up to date on the project. If something seemed off or I had questions that couldn't be resolved via phone call/text and exchange of pictures, Rob and the team were willing to swing by after usual hours to make sure nothing had gone awry. Miscommunication is very rare but when it did happen, they did their best to fix it to keep the project on track. **★★★★★ — elizsegall, Aug. 2025** > Izzie and Suzanne at Designs by Skill were a wonderful resource for us when remodeling our old kitchen. Our cabinets were falling apart after 25 years of hard use, and we wanted something fresh and light. Skill Design had an extensive choice of cabinet colors. We eventually chose a mix of white upper cabinets and green base cabinets and are absolutely in love with the final look. It is light and airy and the cabinets themselves are much higher quality than we had previously. Skill Design has a stable of professional contractors they work with and took care of sending out request for bids to them. We couldn’t be more happy with their recommendation – the workmen showed up on time and worked hard every day on the layout and CAD specifications supplied by Skill. Thanks to Skill Design the process was painless and the results have added to the value of our home, but more importantly, to the joy we feel every time we walk into our new kitchen. **Comment from Skill Construction & Design, LLC:** > Thank you so much, Mrs. Segall, for your thoughtful review! > > We absolutely loved working with you to re-imagine your kitchen space. Your vision blending timeless white uppers with bold green base cabinets was inspiring, and we’re thrilled to know how much you’re enjoying the final result. The light, airy feel and upgraded cabinet quality truly transformed your home, and we’re honored to have been part of that transformation. > > We also appreciate your kind words about our process and partners. At Designs by Skill, we take pride in delivering not only beautiful, functional design but also a seamless and stress-free experience from start to finish. > > It was truly a pleasure bringing your dream kitchen to life. Thank you again for trusting us we’re so happy the space brings you daily joy! > > The Designs by Skill Team > @designsbyskill \| www.designsbyskill.com **★★★★★ — Shani Kruljac, Feb. 2025** > We enlisted the Design By Skill team to assist us with re-doing our screened porch built by another contractor. Although only three-years old, the existing porch had extensive design flaws rendering it unusable. The Design By Skill team met with us and quickly offered a solution, in the form of a sunroom/screened room concept. They professionally ushered us through the entire process from the concept design, to material selections, to the construction--all within the agreed upon timeline. The project resulted in a multi-season screened porch system that is beautiful and functional, allowing us to enjoy for the majority of the year. We are more than pleased with the end result! **Comment from Skill Construction & Design, LLC:** > Thank you so much for your kind words! We truly appreciate you trusting the Design By Skill team to bring your vision to life. It was a pleasure working with you to transform your porch into a beautiful and functional space that you can now enjoy throughout the seasons. Your satisfaction means the world to us, and we're thrilled to hear that you're more than pleased with the result. If you ever need anything in the future, we’d be happy to help. Wishing you many wonderful moments in your new space! ✨ **★★★★★ — Sanae Nakasone, Jan. 2025** > We recently had a Jack and Jill bathroom remodel completed by Skill Construction & Design, and we couldn't be happier with the results! From start to finish, the team was professional, communicative, and truly dedicated to delivering a high-quality finished product. The remodel turned out beautifully, and the attention to detail was exceptional. The team made sure we were involved in every step of the process, and the project went smoothly from beginning to end. > > We were especially impressed by how well they managed the timeline, and the craftsmanship is top-notch. The space looks amazing, and we’re so excited with how it all turned out. We highly recommend Skill Construction & Design to anyone looking for a reliable, skilled, and friendly team to bring their vision to life. > > Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication – we’re grateful for the wonderful experience! **★★★★★ — Hwajung Kim, April 2022** > I used Skill Construction & Design for extension of our house. We moved our kitchen to extended area. They also built an office space, a front portico, and replaced whole siding around house. Although it was a pretty big project, they did a wonderful job. They provided different price options in the beginning with the detailed project cost which was very helpful in making our decision to go with them. They also listen to our concern/needs and do the project according to our preference. Most of all, their work is excellent. We are very satisfied with our project with Skills. The whole house looks completely new! I would recommend Skill Construction & Design, LLC for your house renovation. **★★★★★ — jenzin, Sept. 2020** > Skill delivered a “rush” bathroom for us. The team was professional; the design touches were perfect, and the work was flawless. Due to our accelerated schedule, certain materials were unavailable. Skill easily offered substitutions. The granite substitution was so much more affordable than our original selection, we were able to add granite for the adjacent wet bar. The end results were gorgeous. We are very, very picky — but equally pleased. Five stars on every measure. **★★★★ — Janee' Butterfield, July 2017** > Skill Construction and Design finished ahead of time and on budget! We just love our kitchen renovation and everything turned out beautifully! The pictures speak for themselves! > > They came by on numerous occasions to ensure everything was running smoothly . Our kitchen wasn't the easiest to upgrade due to the tight space. The storage/layout of the cabinets was designed in a smart, functional, and sleek way. > > I recommend Skill Construction without reservation! I hope to do business with them again in the near future. **★★★★★ — Bret Brock, Dec. 2016** > Skill Construction has been great to work with. They have an incredible eye for value and design. I needed them to renovate a rental property in the City of Fairfax after years of wear and tear by tenants, and they did so creating great value. In only 3 weeks time property was renovated completely and at completion we were able to raise the rent significantly and recoup my investment in during the next lease term. They are the best. **★★★★ — Elizabeth Olchowski, Nov. 2016** > Skill designed and built a two-story addition to our home, as well as a garage, and we are extremely happy with the result! During the design process, they asked great questions and helped us define what we wanted/needed for the project (kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, garage). We appreciated their attention to detail and daily progress emails, something few other companies offer, and Steven our project manager was on-site every day to give updates and handle issues as they arose. They were with us every step of the way, from shopping for cabinets/fixtures together, to final walk-thru, through a follow-up warranty check-in several months after completion. We love our expanded home! **★★★★★ — Conestoga Tile, Nov. 2016** > As a ceramic tile distributor who works with many companies within the construction industry, we often have a front row seat to witness the different characteristics of these companies and can see who the best of the best is in terms of quality craftsmanship, customer service, integrity, professionalism and so on. Skill Construction and Design meets all of these distinctions and certainly has a place at the top of this list. It’s commons to find Skill Construction and Design participating in industry associations and taking advantage of any opportunity to stay up to date on new products, techniques, technology and best practices. This is a sure sign of a well-managed company that is a leader within their market. **★★★★★ — harper stone, Nov. 2016** > I was given Skill’s information in 2007 at the time I lived out of state and needed someone trussing to fix my 71-year-old father’s home. My father started using a walker and as a WW2 Vet, he was stubborn about admitting he needed help. After meeting Robert and Suzanne, he was a changed man; even excited about remodeling his bathroom. Robert took his time to outline the process and even included my father in the nuts-and-bolts of design process. Suzanne did her magic and was able to take my father’s retired budget and come up with a 5-year plan with priorities on what the doctor wanted first. They built forward, knowing there was going to be more done later in the space they set up the current project to illuminate major disruption for the next phase. Now my father is 89-years old, he will not call anyone but Skill to do work for him. > For that reason, I did not hesitate to call Skill to remodel my rental. The renters were not happy when I decide to move my family back to the Annandale area; sad to say the renter trashed our home. Robert and Suzanne went to our home and assessed the damages. Knowing our budget made list of what they believed was priority and provided us list of could wait for later. We trusted them and had them move forward with their ideas. We were delighted with the outcome, the design, the attention to detail and open communication of Robert, Suzanne & their team. They were always keen to listen to our suggestions, allowing us to feel like we were taking ownership and directing the project, answer our many questions, settle our nerves, and keep us in the loop. My Partner and I were impressed with the nightly email updates from their staff and because we were out of state, they created an Apple Photo Stream and uploaded pictures for us to view. We did weekly Facetime meetings showing us the home’s progress. There was a couple of what they call “unforeseen items”, for example, the old 1952 tub had been leaking and we had to fix the floor joists. They were quick to provide us with change order and were helpful walking us through the process, in addition to giving us an updated calendar. They have great project management skills, Time keeping, firm budget set out at the beginning of contact, ability to problem solve and think outside the box, great imagination and flair to create a unique house with a difference, genuine enthusiasm for project and always being happy to discuss any ideas or issues. > I have no hesitation in recommending Skill Construction & Design, LLC and providing them the highest compliments and look very forward to working with them on our next project, which we are starting addition deigns next month; we are excepting! > Photo Credit to Skill’s Instagram account; porched pictures from there (https://www.instagram.com/designsbyskill) **★★★★★ — June Stanich Photography, Nov. 2016** > I have been working with Skill for sometime now. They have unique designs and happy customers. I enjoy seeing their work and working with them. They are ethical in their dealings with me and seem to listen to the client. ## Selected projects - [2 Story Vienna Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/2-story-vienna-addition-pj-vj~1422939) - Location: Oakton, VA - Photos: 24 - Description: Vienna Addition Skill Construction & Design, LLC, Design/Build a two-story addition to include remodeling the kitchen and connecting to the adjoining rooms, creating a great room for this family of four.
