We completed a major renovation on our main level as well as our primary bath. They thought through not only the logistics of our project but also took into consideration how the renovation would affect our family. We appreciated their attention to detail and how they were happy to address any and all of our questions. Their project management was efficient, and our project was finished on time. We love our new space and as one friend said, "you took 20 years off of your home with this project and it looks amazing." We couldn't agree more. **Comment from Synergy Design & Construction:** > Thank you for the kind words Heather! We're so glad you love your new space (and the journey it took to get you there). You both were so incredible to work with and we couldn't be more happy for you and your family to enjoy this Thanksgiving (and many more) gathered in that stunning kitchen! ### All 47 reviews **★★★★★ — dgeevaratne, Nov. 2025** > Can’t say enough great things about Synergy and the team there. 4 years later we are still happy to provide recommendations and testimonials. They took great care in our planning, white-gloving every aspect of the process. During construction, both Synergy and their onsite contractors took our feedback to adjust things as needed. They even set us up with the equipment necessary so a family of four (with a toddler and a dog) could function without a kitchen and dining room—which was no small feat. It was the small stuff and the big stuff. The whole experience from end to end was unmatched. I can only liken it to the type of personal care and forethought that you get from a 5-star hotel or restaurant. I enthusiastically recommend them and would not hesitate to use them for our next project. **Comment from Synergy Design & Construction:** > Wow! We cannot tell you how much it means to us to be compared to a 5-star hotel!! Working with you and the entire family was a highlight for us and we are thrilled you're thrilled all these years later ;) **★★★★★ — M R, April 2024** > We highly recommend Synergy. Our entire remodel from start to finish was seamless. Synergy's step by step process, impeccable workmanship, and excellent communication only validated for us that we made the right choice! > > The design process from start to finish really captured our needs and requirements. They walked us through our options and spent the time to get to know us. What stands out most were the creative options for our space. After years of talking about remodeling our main living area, we were impressed by their design ideas to improve our day to day living and use of our space. > > The craftsmanship displayed throughout the renovation is impeccable. From the sturdy cabinetry to the flawless tiling, it's evident that only the highest quality materials were used. The attention to detail is unparalleled, and it's clear that the entire team take great pride in their work. > > Throughout the renovation process, communication with the team was seamless. They kept us informed every step of the way and were always quick to address any concerns we had. Their professionalism and dedication to customer satisfaction are truly commendable. > > Our kitchen first floor renovation has been an absolute game-changer for our home. It has significantly increased our quality of life. We couldn't be happier with the results and walk into our home knowing it's exactly how we wanted and how it was meant to be! **★★★★★ — Jody Delaney, Dec. 2023** > Thank you, Team Synergy! We were so lucky to have come across you all as our design and build partners and are thankful for the collaborative experience we were able to have together. From the beginning of the project, all the way through the end, we felt we were heard and valued in creating a completely new kitchen, powder room, and main floor for our family of five to grow into and enjoy for many years to come. > > Renovating your primary residence, while living in the space, and maintaining the schedule of a busy family was daunting, to say the least. From the beginning of the process to the final turnover of our home, we truly felt this partnership. Your quality responsiveness and exceptional customer service is unmatched by any previous experience we have had and appreciated experiencing a renovation that stayed on budget and timeline. We never could have expected how truly enjoyable the process was and are grateful for this very special team. **★★★★★ — Carol D, Oct. 2023** > I would give Synergy ten stars if I could. Working with them was a dream. We renovated our basement. It is beautiful, but the process was fantastic. They were meticulous and organized and forthcoming on the costs, keeping us updated as we went along. The communication really lowered the stress of the process for me. Everyone on their team was such a professional. I love them and will definitely use them for other projects that come up. **Comment from Synergy Design & Construction:** > Thank you so much Carol! We loved working with you and Steve on your basement transformation. You were great partners from start-to-finish and we just love thinking about you and the family hanging out in your new swanky lower-level lounge ;) **★★★★★ — Juliana Carter, July 2023** > As the owners of a specialized contracting company, we knew we would be very particular when choosing a design build firm for our main level home renovation. We always dreamed of transforming our mid-century modern ranch style home located to be more open with a larger kitchen, more usable living space and a walk-in pantry. > > We chose to work with Synergy because we knew we could trust them to follow a timely and proven process, that the work would be of the highest quality, and the experience would be positive. We especially liked the fact that they have a lot of experience working with Reston homes. Now after having gone through the process, we are happy to say that they exceeded our expectations! > > The most important part of the process was the design phase. We provided Synergy with all of our goals including the feeling we wanted in the space and the challenges we wanted to address. For example, at the center of the main level was a large double-sided, brick fireplace on either side of the kitchen and living space which made our living space very choppy. > > Synergy put together three different designs that allowed us to visualize the space. We played with different parts of the designs and came up with new ideas together to finalize the plans. The team was extremely quick at making CAD revisions. We chose the most significant design change with the engineering challenge of removing the chimney and fireplace, moving the kitchen from the front of the house to the back. > > One of our favorite parts of the process was working through the details of the kitchen cabinetry, appliance layout and design. It was very methodical and easy. Synergy set up a very structured construction timeline, helped setup our temporary kitchen and provided weekly updates. We lived in our home during the renovation and they made sure to keep it as clean as possible and safe for our cats. > Synergy was not satisfied until we were satisfied. We saw this from the detailed carpentry work, to helping us make the right selections especially for lighting selections which were the hardest decisions for us, to the exact placement of lighting or the wall length. The entire team worked carefully, diligently, and made the process easy and fun. > > At times, we were very particular clients and it never seemed to rattle the team. We were investing a lot into our dream home project, and they wanted to make the space right for us. From the beginning to the very final punch out items, they were responsive and addressed our requests fairly and quickly. > > This project was very complex and required a lot of custom work. The Synergy team had the skill and experience to plan and execute the work the right way. Amazingly, even with some product delays, they completed the work one week ahead of time!! And wow the space is absolutely gorgeous. > > Thank you to the entire Synergy team for making our dream into a reality. We miss you guys!! > > -The Carter Family in Reston,Va **Comment from Synergy Design & Construction:** > It was such a pleasure working with you both on your home's transformation! Your trust and partnership throughout the process made you a dream to work with (along with your modern and very tasteful aesthetic)! Thank you again for choosing us! **★★★★★ — Jenna, July 2023** > Synergy Design & Construction did an amazing job with our main floor renovation. This was a complicated project with structural constraints. Mark and his team were amazing communicators throughout the project, both with us and with all the trades that were involved. Lead carpenter Chris was like one of the family by the time we finished. They took great care with controlling dust, cleaning up each day, and making sure the quality of work met our expectations. We could not have been happier and will be using them again for our upcoming laundry room renovation. **Comment from Synergy Design & Construction:** > Our sincerest thanks for leaving such glowing feedback about our team. We too loved working with you and everyone was thrilled with the outcome. We're excited to begin your next project in just a few short months. Thank you for your business! **★★★★★ — HU-271111563, July 2023** > Synergy is the best thing that ever happened to our home! What was once a home lost in the 1980’s and over-loved by 3 kids, 2 dogs, and 2 cats is now a dream home that looks like a photo from a magazine! Our kids are grown and it was past time to care for our well “loved“ house. My husband, Dave and I enjoyed planning our project. We chose everything from cabinets to paint colors. The Synergy team worked hard to make everything perfect for us. We love our home and look forward to living in it for a long time to come! > > The Synergy team was great to work with. The communication was excellent. They found solutions for problems we didn't even know we had and went the extra mile to make sure we were happy with the results. They came in under budget and ahead of schedule. We are very happy with the results and would recommend Synergy to everyone. **Comment from Synergy Design & Construction:** > Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We truly enjoyed working with you both and sincerely appreciated your partnership navigating these unusual times. We look forward to working together again soon. **★★★★★ — vmehta725, July 2023** > We spoke with a number of local companies before deciding on our remodeling partner. Right from the beginning, no other company established the same professional and personable impression as Synergy did. From the very beginning, we were impressed with the knowledge and professionalism of the design and project-management teams. Synergy not only completed the project during the COVID-19 pandemic, they seamlessly coordinated with our building's management and worked through the many restrictions that come with remodeling a condo. The construction crews working at our home were kind and considerate - they worked diligently to ensure everything was perfectly executed as per the design. They also cleaned up and made the space safe after each day. > > We had a fantastic experience and are both really happy with our new home! S ynergy sets such a high standard that we wonder if we will be able to work with anyone else! As we write this review two years after the project, we are even more impressed with their follow through and their commitment to their clients. **Comment from Synergy Design & Construction:** > Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We truly enjoyed working with you both and sincerely appreciated your partnership navigating these unusual times. We look forward to working together again soon. **★★★★★ — Erin Daga, July 2023** > We used Synergy to finish our basement and they were outstanding. They place great emphasis on the design phase and work closely with you in a collaborative way to make sure you are getting what you want. They spent hours measuring every inch of the basement before breaking ground to ensure that there would be no surprises later on. During the construction, they host weekly meetings to make sure expectations are being met and that we knew what was happening at all times. The finished project far exceeded our expectations! **Comment from Synergy Design & Construction:** > Thanks for the review! We too are thrilled with the finished project and know your family will enjoy it for many years to come. Thank you for your business. **★★★★★ — dseidman60, July 2023** > We did a full remodel of our basement in the fall of 2022 - including adding a new media room with a complete bar. The entire process from start to finish was fantastic. Mina and Mark were easy to work with and really listened to what we wanted to get out of the space, resulting in a design that we love. Mina really got to know us and understood our preferences and it was evident in the finishes and how the process ran. The team was always on-time, professional and did exceptional work. The weekly meetings and budget updates were great and they finished early! We love the new space and we can't recommend the Synergy team enough! **Comment from Synergy Design & Construction:** > Thank you so much Danielle! We loved every part of working with you and your family to create that dreamy basement of yours. Your partnership, positive vibe and daily greetings from Bogee made it an incredible experience for all of us. Thank you. **★★★★★ — Jen Cherry, July 2023** > I chose Synergy for my remodel because from the outset it was clear they were organized, detail oriented and had great project management processes and tools so we could communicate easily and see progress along the way. I didn't want to have to manage any part of the process and I had every confidence they would be easy to work with and would deliver on-time and on-budget. I also saw the quality of their work firsthand in a friend's home so I knew they would deliver a beautiful remodel. Synergy was able to work with my ideas while also providing realism and a beautiful design in line with my budget. > > Despite taking place against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, Synergy stayed on schedule and even got ahead of it. Our Lead Carpenter was a rock star. He was organized, respectful and considerate of our home and our family. There was very little disruption to us. At the end of the process, I wasn't surprised but everyone else was that Synergy kept (and beat) the timeline. A lot of people said beforehand all remodels ran over the estimated time, to which I said, "You haven't seen their project plan!". I had total confidence in the timeline and my expectations were not only met but exceeded. Not even a pandemic stopped Synergy. We love our new spaces and enjoyed working with the entire Synergy team. > Jen C, Clifton VA **Comment from Synergy Design & Construction:** > Thank you Jen! Your great sense of humor and easy going demeanor made our time together even happier. Thank you so much for your partnership throughout the whole process. We're so thrilled with not only how the spaces now look, but also with the knowing of how much more enjoyment you'll get from using them. **★★★★★ — Marcus Luczak, Nov. 2022** > We have gone through two renovations (first level and basement) with Synergy and couldn't have been happier with the results. They did a great job setting the appropriate expectations and providing detailed communications. Both projects came in on budget and on time. I would highly recommend them to anyone considering a renovation. **Comment from Synergy Design & Construction:** > Thank you Marcus, you and your family have been a dream to work with! Both levels turned out amazing and perfectly match your family's dynamic personalities. Thanks again for trusting us! **★★★★★ — Meghan & John, Oct. 2022** > Synergy remodeled our kitchen, pantry, and flooring and we are so pleased both with the outcome and our experience. Working with the unique, original layout of our kitchen, Synergy was able to present us with multiple design options, ultimately landing on a final design that is beautiful and functional. While we doubt anyone enjoys the construction process, Synergy made it as painless as possible with a reliable in-house team, by cleaning daily, and through constantly communicating progress and expectations. > > We've done kitchen and bath remodels in our prior home, and the experience of working with a design-build firm is far superior. Synergy was on time, on budget, and delivered a beautifully remodeled home. **Comment from Synergy Design & Construction:** > We couldn't be more thrilled about how your space turned out Meghan! You have such a lovely home and we had a lot of fun working with you both to make it both gorgeous AND functional! Thanks again for your trust in our team! **★★★★★ — Avery Straw, Oct. 2022** > Wow! I was concerned going into a large remodeling project - after moving frequently and living in rentals abroad, we had no experience with this kind of project. We renovated our kitchen, added a bar and powder room, remodeled our primary bath, added a closet and recessed lighting in 2 rooms. > > Synergy was a DREAM to work with. They were great communicators, excellent about thinking through design issues and considerations, on time, and stand by their work. They set up an alternate kitchen for us to work with and were great about helping to keep our house livable throughout the process. > > Finally, they helped us make selections we truly love and enjoy. It is a joy to cook in our kitchen or get ready in our bathroom - they are beautiful and functional rooms! > > You will not regret your decision to choose synergy for your project. We highly recommend them! **Comment from Synergy Design & Construction:** > Thank you so much Avery!! We really enjoyed working with you and your family, and your sense of style and great partnership from beginning to end made it that much more enjoyable. Just love how it all turned out! **★★★★★ — Patricia & Mike, Oct. 2022** > Synergy completed a renovation of our kitchen, dining room, and family room one year ago, and we absolutely love the work that was done to update our home. The process from start to finish was smooth and timely, with outstanding communication throughout, including a follow-up at the one-year mark to ask if we had any issues that needed to be addressed. > > The entire Synergy team was focused on ensuring that we were happy with the project, and that included being patient but helpful as we agonized over decisions such as cabinets, tile, and lights. As an accountant and engineer, we tend to be detail-oriented, but the Synergy team always seemed to be one step ahead of us on questions or issues. The process was very organized, and the lead carpenter ensured that we knew what was happening every day. We also appreciated that the construction team identified some structural problems from previous work that had been done in the house, and they ensured that the issues were addressed with no impact on our timeline or budget. > > Finally, we can’t say enough about the professionalism of the team. Their work was first-rate, and we actually enjoyed having them around the house for several months! We wouldn’t hesitate to use Synergy for another project and highly recommend them to anyone looking for an outstanding design/build experience. **Comment from Synergy Design & Construction:** > Thank you so much for your kind words! We loved working with you both and our entire team could not be more thrilled with how your space turned out! You were great partners from start to finish and we can't thank you enough for your trust and recommendation! **★★★★★ — Vicky Richards, Oct. 2022** > Synergy remodeled our kitchen, master bathroom, as well as some of our main floor over the Summer of 2022. We LOVE how our home turned out. Synergy nailed the design and the execution! We had an incredible experience from start to finish. Synergy has a very organized and well thought out process that includes regular weekly meetings. All the decisions we made were broken down into manageable chunks. We knew what our budget was throughout (they are very good at estimating). The team showed up every day from 8am to 4pm as promised and left things very tidy. Everything went so smooth! Synergy took care of us before, during, and after our project like no other contractor! The entire crew has incredible attention to detail, are extremely customer service oriented and professional, and treated our home as if it were their own. Mark, Mina, Emily, Barbara, Matt, and Henry - you all did a FANTASTIC job and we can't thank you enough. Some extra touches that we were floored by include: a lattice structure that disguised the the port-a-potty in our driveway, beginning on the exact start date they committed to months earlier, all the care to minimize the spreading of dust inside our home, the makeshift kitchen they loaned us and helped us setup, the celebration video with personal messages from the team, having professional cleaners come in after construction, and some other personal touches that prove they really got to know us! Synergy - we would hire you again in a heartbeat! **Comment from Synergy Design & Construction:** > Thank you so much Vicky!! Working with you and Jeff was a dream and our entire team loved taking care of your family and home throughout the process. Thank you so much for your trust and partnership - it truly means the world to our Synergy family! **★★★★★ — Wendy Schmitz, April 2022** > My experience with Synergy was fantastic and is unlike any other company I have worked with. We remodeled our kitchen in 2021 and their team of designers worked with us every step of the way to ensure our vision is perfectly executed. Emily provided thoughtful feedback throughout the design process and her sense of perfection meant every detail was accounted for. Mina is creative, has a great eye for things and so fun to shop with. The construction crew was professional and went the extra mile to keep the place neat and tidy during the build phase. The project was managed extremely well, updates were always regularly communicated, and the project was delivered within budget. I highly recommend talking to this team experts the next time you are looking to do remodeling work in your house!! **Comment from Synergy Design & Construction:** > Thank you for reviewing us! Given our commitment to your experience, we're thrilled to hear you felt completely cared for during the entire process. We loved working with you and we know you'll enjoy using your beautiful new kitchen (especially that range ;) **★★★★★ — Dvu, Dec. 2021** > Choosing the right home improvement contractor is not an easy task. There are many out there with great websites, pictures, reviews. After interviewing the top 5 that we narrowed down, including one that was recommended by our friend, what made the difference was we felt so at ease and comfortable with Synergy. All the other contractors had great ideas and presented well, but they did not give us the connection we felt with Synergy. Sometimes you go with whom you "like" the most. > > Synergy took care of the entire process for our basement remodel and it was about as well run and smooth as possible for a home renovation. From the design to the daily tasks, every aspect of the project, even cookie delivery, was tracked in our project portal. We knew exactly what was going on each day and every question was answered immediately. In addition, there were weekly on-site progress meetings for additional details and in person time with the project manager. > > The design team took our concept and came up with designs that exceeded our expectations. The on-site team turned the design into reality while treating our home with respect and were always on time. We couldn't be happier with our incredible renovated basement and have been enjoying it with friends and family. Even months after completion, any requests for minor issues have been responded and resolved quickly. **Comment from Synergy Design & Construction:** > Your methodical process in choosing your remodeling partner is admirable and we cannot tell you how honored we are that you chose us! We appreciated your partnership from the beginning and are beyond happy to have been a part of your home's transformation. **★★★★★ — parkerrob, Dec. 2021** > Synergy remodeled our primary bathroom to give it a real spa-like feel, while installing several "age-in-place" features we may need some day. They also remodeled our small, blah laundry/utility room and turned it into an attractive space that makes me happy every time I go in. All of the design people and tradespeople who did the work were absolutely top-notch and VERY customer-oriented, which made for as painless an experience as could be possible with a remodel. We had online access to all our plans, budget, and schedule, so we always knew exactly where we stood during the process. And the end results are beautiful. **Comment from Synergy Design & Construction:** > Thank you so much for your kind words. You were a true joy to work with and our entire team enjoyed transforming your bathroom into the spa it was always meant to be! **★★★★★ — User, Feb. 2021** > Synergy remodeled nearly our entire home. After a decade in our house, it was time for a major change and we were elated with the outcome. The remodel wrapped up a few months ago but I still pause and think about what our home looked like before the remodel compared to now and it’s hard not to be thankful. The design team suggested some hardware changes that really tied in the new lighting fixtures and other updates into a cohesive design. > We greatly appreciated everyone at Synergy making the remodel a fantastic experience. Everyone’s hard work on site and behind the scenes was outstanding. Throughout the process our input was heard, our questions were answered, and we felt at ease. We know some people going through home renovations who are having very different experiences than ours and hearing their stories reinforces why we chose to work with Synergy. > We showed our home on multiple Zoom calls with family and friends who love the work and are blown away by the before and after. Our neighbors have seen the photos Synergy posted from a photo shoot and love the work as well. Speaking of neighbors, Synergy sent letters out before construction began to make them aware of the work which was greatly appreciated by our neighbors. **Comment from Synergy Design & Construction:** > Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for the kind words. Although we have many favorite parts of your project, the master shower takes the cake. We hope you both enjoy the new spaces for years to come. **★★★★★ — ldstrong, Jan. 2020** > We chose to work with Synergy because they provide a broad range of services and were able to remodel both our Kitchen and build a screened porch at the same time. What really impressed us was the thoughtful design process and the detailed level of planning that took place upfront. When it came to construction, we really appreciated having a dedicated Lead Carpenter on our project. He was always very considerate of the fact we were living in our home during construction and kept us informed about what was happening - and when! The whole team was very responsive and were always available to answer questions and come up with solutions when any issues did arise. The online project management system was great and allowed us to easily follow along with the project. What surprised us the most about the experience was that it really wasn't that disruptive! We absolutely love the finished spaces and it doesn't get much better than spending family time together relaxing and enjoying them ! **Comment from Synergy Design & Construction:** > Thank you so much, Lindsay! Making a house a home is what it's all about for us and we are thrilled you love your new spaces. Wishing you many years of enjoyment - and lots of home made cookies at the island! - The Synergy Team **★★★★★ — Stephanie B, Nov. 2019** > Communication was the hallmark of our Synergy experience. Their talented team made a commitment on cost, schedule and quality, and lived up to it in every way. We would not hesitate to use them again. > > The number one reason we picked Synergy was the professionalism and punctuality of the team from the outset! We met with a number of different contractors, but there was a stark contrast between them and everything about Synergy - from their online presence to the level of service to the authentic nature of the team. We liked they had a clearly defined process and were clearly driven by being on time and on schedule. > > The carpentry team was excellent - respectful, considerate and on time! They did everything they could to make the process as easy as possible on our family. The communication was great throughout the construction process and when issues/concerns did arise, they were quickly resolved. We talked to someone in the industry who told us to expect to be 25% over budget and 50% over on schedule and we couldn't believe how on budget and on schedule our project was! We have already recommended Synergy to others. **Comment from Synergy Design & Construction:** > Thank you, Stephanie! We loved working with you and Graham and helping turn your vision into a beautiful reality. - The Synergy Team. **★★★★★ — Robert F, Nov. 2019** > My wife and I contracted with Synergy to undertake a complete renovation of the antiquated kitchen in our house. We had previously done a complete home renovation with an architect and builder, so we thought we had some idea of what to expect, but almost immediately upon beginning to consult with the Synergy team we realized that they were in a completely different class. From the very first, the Synergy team presented us with many options for the renovation, showing us the different potential kitchen configurations in beautiful 3D renderings. Before any of the work began, we had an exceptionally strong idea of what the finished product would look like. More importantly, Synergy gave us detailed estimates for both the cost of the project and the time it would take to complete. During the three month construction phase, there was a Synergy employee on site every day to monitor the work and the team met with us weekly to review the progress. They sent us regular emails and updates as well. Most importantly, the level of attention to detail that Synergy brought to our kitchen renovation was the highest possible; every cabinet, every appliance, every piece of trim was aligned and re-aligned and every measurement was exact. As with other construction projects, there were other unexpected "issues" that arose during the work, but Synergy handled them in the most professional way possible, giving us a detailed explanation of what the problem was, why it was caused, and options for solving the situation. And incredibly, our kitchen was returned to us on the day it was promised; completely renovated, brand new, organized for our family to enjoy time together and - believe it or not - under the expected cost. We could not be happier with the professionalism of the Synergy team; aside from the quality of their work, they are kind, warm and caring people. **Comment from Synergy Design & Construction:** > Rob, thanks to both you and Sandi for your business, our relationship, and your beautiful words. Your patience, partnership, and sense of humor made it just as enjoyable and special for us. Best wishes for years to come. **★★★★★ — Connie Quinlan, July 2019** > We highly recommend Synergy, especially when you don't have the time/availability to personally oversee a project. We bought our home nine months before we moved in (long story) and wanted to take advantage of that time to do a big renovation. I did a lot of research looking for design/build companies in the area before choosing Synergy. Mark and Mina were great helping us decide where our money could go the furthest in our new home. The house had a cramped, dark kitchen next to a small dining room. Synergy tore down the wall dividing them and gave us a dream kitchen. Stacey was wonderful taking us to all the stores to pick granite, hardware, etc. We were living in Boston throughout the actual construction process and felt confident the entire time that our home was in good hands. We held weekly FaceTime meetings to monitor progress. Synergy was very responsive throughout. As a bonus, my brother and sister-in-law live next door and checked up on their progress for us. They repeatedly told us how impressed they were with Synergy's cleanliness and organization. Since our big reno project, we've also called them for smaller jobs, like building swinging doors for our deck stairs so we could let our dog hang out there without running away. And we still have a list of projects for them in future. The whole Synergy team is full of good, down to earth people who were always personable, professional, and responsive. We wouldn't consider any other company for future home projects, big or small. > > (Before and after photos attached.) **Comment from Synergy Design & Construction:** > Thank you, Connie! We are grateful for your trust in us and your partnership in turning your first house in Reston into a family home! We look forward to continuing to work together in years to come - The Synergy Team **★★★★★ — Larry Golfer, May 2019** > I have been working as a professional interior photographer with Synergy for over a year and we have developed a great working relationship. They always prepare their client's properties with meticulous care for me, following the guidance I provide them in my Photography Tip Sheet, so that I can make the best possible photographs for them to showcase their superb design and build work. This makes my job much more efficient and you can see the results in these sample photos attached from two recent shoots for them. **Comment from Synergy Design & Construction:** > Thank you, Larry! It's a pleasure working with you. You perfectly showcase our remodels with your beautiful photography! **★★★★★ — Kapadia Family, April 2019** > If you are considering a remodel, look no further! Synergy is the absolute best! > > We had a previous remodel not go well, so when we started looking for someone to redo our kitchen and master bath, we were extremely cautious. Synergy made the whole experience a pleasure, from start to finish. They responded to our initial request within 24 hours and from the very beginning were always on time for calls and meetings. > > They listened to our concerns about our existing space and provided several well thought out design options for us to choose from. They listened and incorporated our suggestions and helped us come up with the best option for our family. Once work started on the project, their punctuality and professionalism continued. They were here on time every morning and cleaned up before they left every day. They responded to any concerns we brought up immediately and provided solutions. The biggest surprise was that they actually delivered the project on time and on budget! > > The best part of working with Synergy was the team. Mark, Mina and the rest of the team are so wonderful, we were sad to see them go once the project was completed! **Comment from Synergy Design & Construction:** > Thank you, Kapadia Family! It was our pleasure partnering with you on your remodel and helping you to create such beautiful spaces. We thoroughly enjoyed working with you all and were sad to leave, too! We wish you many years of enjoyment! **★★★★★ — Cheryl and Tom M, March 2019** > From the very beginning, Synergy demonstrated a high level of integrity. We also wanted to work with a local firm who were members of the community. We talked to a couple of other firms, and one said "you don't really need permits" and we were taken aback anyone would do that. We appreciated what Synergy stood for and that the work would be done right. > > The warmth of the team was obvious from the very start. We enjoyed working with the carpenter assigned to our project and how diligent he was. Although a remodel is disruptive, Synergy did everything they could to make it go smoothly. We felt our comfort was important to them and really appreciated the thoughtful extra touches such a gift certificate for a meal out in the middle of the project! **Comment from Synergy Design & Construction:** > Thanks so much for the kind words. We, too, appreciated your attention to detail and wanting to make everything just right. Thank you for your business and we look forward to bumping into you at Starbucks or Lake Anne! **★★★★★ — Janet Kang, March 2019** > The VERY best experience from beginning to end! > > Transparency, Communication, Collaboration and Great Service – these are the key characteristics we were looking for in a renovation company and Synergy absolutely ticked all of the boxes. > > We were selective about choosing the right partner for our mudroom addition/kitchen renovation project and are grateful we found Synergy. Every single team member - from the owners of the company to the crew working at our home - is service oriented, responsive and a joy to be around. Their attention to detail and pride in their work is evident in the finished spaces and blew us away. > > We love to host family and friends and always felt our kitchen felt restrictive and hard to cook and entertain in because of the awkward island configuration. With kids, we also quickly outgrew the coat closet space/pseudo mudroom and pantry and desperately needed more room. Synergy took our vision and made it come alive. They were meticulous in helping us design the new spaces to fit all of our needs and the must haves like the glass pantry that we LOVE. They were so organized and on top of everything that there was never a moment we didn’t know what was happening in our home or what the next steps would be. Hands down, we couldn’t have made a better choice. They truly “Renovate Happy!” We are more than thrilled with our new spaces and would gladly hire them again for our next project. **Comment from Synergy Design & Construction:** > Thank you, Janet! We loved working with you and your family in helping you create such beautiful but family-friendly spaces! Your partnership and trust means the world to us and we enjoyed working with you from beginning to end. **★★★★★ — Jennifer Randall, Jan. 2018** > In searching for a contractor for our basement remodel in Reston, it was important to find people we could trust, and with whom we could forge a convivial relationship. As a family of 6, we knew we didn’t have time to project-manage our renovation, and we wanted a company that would take care of us from start to finish. Moreover we hoped for a personal connection and a company that would continue to follow through after the renovation. > Synergy was exactly what we needed and from the moment we met them, we knew we were in great hands. From their creativity in design to their attention to detail during construction, we always felt like we were their only client, and we forged relationships verging on friendships with the staff. > We actually had such a great experience with our basement renovation, that we’ve already had them back to remodel our foyer, family room, bedroom, full-bath and deck. We eagerly await our next renovation of the master bedroom, upstairs bath and kitchen. We have definitely found our contractor for life and we’re glad to have become part of the Synergy family. **Comment from Synergy Design & Construction:** > Thank you so much Jen!!! As you know, our entire team adores you and the family and we feel honored to be a part of your lives. Thank you for your trust and friendship. - Mina **★★★★★ — J W, Dec. 2017** > We were both extremely pleased to work with Synergy and are grateful for their considerable patience working with us as clients during our first, significant design and renovation experience. Their attention to detail, willingness to go the extra mile for us, and clear desire to ensure our kitchen was perfect, on time and on budget can't be overstated. Having heard horror stories from others dealing with general contractors and vendors during renovations before our project - we soon wondered why anyone would work with anybody but Synergy shortly after our kitchen renovation began. We owe Mark, Mina and the entire Synergy team a significant debt of gratitude and we look forward to our next project. **Comment from Synergy Design & Construction:** > Thank you so much John and Doreen! We absolutely loved working with you and can't thank you enough for trusting (and choosing) us. We're honored to call you our friends and we look forward to working with you again soon. **★★★★★ — User, Sept. 2017** > My wife and I were happy to participate in Mina's “Before to After in 30 Days: Get Unstuck and Redesign Your Home” program! Sure enough, we got 'unstuck' in those 30 days with Mina's structured guidance and motivation, and were able to make improvements to our bathroom that we had been thinking about for some time. Mina was very helpful in giving suggestions and action items, as well as being open to all kinds of questions we had. Her friendliness and contagious enthusiasm really shined through and made participation in the program an enjoyable and productive experience! **Comment from Synergy Design & Construction:** > Thank you Dave! I enjoyed having you in the program and am thrilled it gave you the tools and motivation to get unstuck!!! It was a true pleasure working with you both! **★★★★★ — Paul Cutler, April 2017** > Synergy built for us an addition with a sitting room, powder room, master bedroom, walk-in closet and master bath. > > We were told by someone who had worked with Synergy in the past that they were fanatical about detail. He was right. From planning to construction, oversight of the subcontractors, coordination with the County and taking care of our needs and worries, they were totally on the ball. > > A relative who works on renovations in California told me to check on the construction every night to see that the windows and doors were installed according to the plans. Each night, I found the measurements were exact, everything that was to be level was level, to be plumb was plumb. Great carpentry. > > The subcontractors all showed up for when they were scheduled and stayed into the evening to complete their work, overseen by the lead carpenter. If a problem arose, it was immediately taken care of. > > The office staff spend a great deal of time helping us in picking out tile, bathroom fixtures, lighting and colors of paint. We actually changed our minds on the colors for our sitting room, the room was repainted with no problem, and we could not be happier with the results. > > The project was completed exactly on time. > > When they say they really want you to be happy with the results of their work, they mean it. Every person on staff was terrific. **Comment from Synergy Design & Construction:** > Thank you so much Paul! Your trust and partnership throughout the process meant the world to us and our entire team loved creating the addition you and Doris had been dreaming of. We often talk about all the birds and wildlife you're probably enjoying now that the weather is nice again! . **★★★★★ — Kahota KJ, Sept. 2016** > Synergy did a complete renovation of our basement, plus several small jobs that came up along the way. Their design expertise was invaluable. The project management and communication (both in person and via their Basecamp web site) were fantastic. They thought of every detail and made things simple for us at every turn. Costs were kept under control and the project came in on time. The final product is a fantastic space we will enjoy for years to come. Their slogan "Renovate happy" is definitely a guiding principle for them. **Comment from Synergy Design & Construction:** > Thank you so much for the kind words. We couldn't be more thrilled about how your basement turned out - from the steam shower with bench seat, to the built-in cabinetry, fantastic laundry room, and color choices - it's truly a great space for your work-outs! Again, thanks for your trust and our relationship. Look forward to seeing you soon. **★★★★★ — VivaDesign, July 2016** > Synergy Design is a highly professional company that inculcates the culture of professionalism through and through in their dealings with other professionals. It has been a pleasure working with them and providing with my Kitchen and Bath Design services. **Comment from Synergy Design & Construction:** > Thank you for your kind words! Over the years we have worked with many cabinetry representatives and you were one of the best. It was a long journey for us to finally find a cabinet line we distribute ourselves, and even though we handle everything in-house now, we appreciate the professional partnership you provided us along the way. **★★★★★ — junetralle, Jan. 2016** > “We were working with an Interior Designer who recommended Synergy. She had seen them in a client’s home while they were installing a shelf as part of a renovation. When it wasn’t absolutely perfect they took it out and did it again, and I said, ‘that is a contractor I want to work with’! > > After meeting with them, we thought that they had the best attitude, the best presentation, and we had no idea when we chose them, how good they were going to be. They turned out to way exceed our expectations. When they say they will do anything to make sure that you’re happy with the result, they’re absolutely right, they do. > > One of the things we really liked about Synergy was, they curate their list of vendors so if you’re going to need a plumber on your job, they’re going to bring in the plumber they work with that they think is the best. And as they put it in one of our pre-meetings, if we’re giving that plumber $200,000 worth of business in the course of a year, when we tell him 6 months out, 4 weeks out, 2 weeks out, call him the day before to confirm he’s going to be there, he’s going to show up and show up on time. > > At 8o’clock you could rely on them being there (you have a choice of 7:30 or 8) and not only was the crew there, but so was our Synergy person in charge. Drake took complete charge of the job. We didn’t have to worry about dealing with subcontractors. He knew what they were doing all the time and he worked with us beautifully. And the renovation was completed exactly on schedule! > > I wish I had six more houses and if I did I would renovate them all and I would use Synergy.” **★★★★★ — meixnerr, July 2015** > My wife and I had been considering doing a major renovation to our Reston townhome for a long time. As our kids began to get older and move on to college, we couldn’t wait to create the open floor plan and master suite we've always wanted. > > We met with Synergy, really felt comfortable with Mark and Mina, and knew their team would take great care of us. We had a budget in mind, and when their initial estimate came in, we were afraid we might be paying too much. We took a step back, talked to some other folks (including their competitors) and quickly realized we had made the right choice from the very beginning. > > Not only did Synergy provide the value we were looking for, they really made us feel as if we were the only project they had taken on. From both Emily and Mina helping us with all the material selections (including furniture, artwork, and window treatments), to Tom, Matt, Drake and Lonnie in the field making sure everything was just the way we wanted it. Not only was it completed in the way we wanted it, but often times they went above and beyond what we expected. Their attention to detail is second to none. > > The communication was impeccable and the experience was incredible, Mark and Mina genuinely cared about us and made us feel like we were their most important customer. . Everything you read about Synergy in their testimonial section is true and then some. We’ve already recommended them to our friends who were having a terrible experience with another contractor and they’ve stepped in to save the day. > > If you’re lucky enough to come across this company in your search for a professional remodeling firm, look no further, you’ve found your match! **★★★★★ — kjlipton, Nov. 2014** > The quirky “Renovate Happy” slogan is no joke. You really can renovate without the hassle and headaches. The Synergy Team took care of everything while renovating our newly purchased 1950’s house. It has been transformed into a home we are proud to show off to our friend’s and neighbors. They truly helped us attain our vision transforming a diamond in the rough. The finished project exceeded our expectations, as did the management of the process. > > The attention to detail was astonishing as well as the personalized service. Mina kept detailed notes of all our meetings and truly understood our priorities as well as aesthetic. The whole team made us feel like we were their primary focus throughout the entire process. We were on a tight timeline, made all the more difficult by our “add-ons” throughout the project, and Synergy delivered and never once made us feel like we were asking too much. Their focus is truly on customer satisfaction. > > The online Renovation Roadmap tool helped us to feel a part of the process even though we were not able to be on site each day. Also, knowing that Matt and Lonnie were on-site each day put our minds at ease. Communication was excellent throughout the process and not only do we have a “Contractor for Life”, but we also have gained some great friends. **Comment from Synergy Design & Construction:** > It was so fun working with you guys! It's hard to express how much it means to us that you had a great experience and love your new space. Looking forward to celebrating over dinner again soon! **★★★★★ — stephpluto, Oct. 2014** > My wife and I were living in London when we contacted Synergy. Our Arlington townhome had been rented for the past 18 years and needed to be completely remodeled top to bottom. We chose Synergy because we knew they would take care of everything from the design to the construction, and we couldn’t be happier! > > The whole feeling as I sit, stand or walk through our place is one of comfort – a place that is easy on the eye, soothing but not a museum piece that we admire but do not use. We have something to enjoy. > > This is in large part because during the design phase, they suggested taking down a wall on the main level to reorient the kitchen and make use of the entire first floor in an open concept plan. We are so glad we took their suggestion. Now instead of feeling cramped in the back end of our house, we are able to use all of the space and the result is a clean, contemporary feel that we never could have envisioned. > > Not only did the design work perfectly, but also the construction phase was timely and professional. One of the things that really put my mind at ease was how well Synergy’s entire team communicated with us. It started before we made it back to the U.S. and continued through every phase of the project. They lead me through the daunting task of choosing all the materials by taking me to showrooms (even helped me choose furniture) and I was never left wondering what was happening or what was next. > > If you are looking for a full-service, exceptional remodeling experience, you couldn’t find a better team of people that truly care about you and your needs. Thank you again Synergy for making this major renovation such an easy process. **Comment from Synergy Design & Construction:** > Thank you so much! The level of trust you placed in our team from the beginning (especially when you were still overseas) made the design and complete overhaul of your "new" home a breeze. Thank you again for everything! **★★★★★ — mlowden, Feb. 2014** > I've had the pleasure of working with Synergy D&C over the past 5 years and they are top notch. They work well with our Design Center representatives to create stunning tile and stone designs for each and every project, and focus solely on their clients' needs to ensure they get exactly what they want. Part of what I like about Synergy is that we get to interact directly with the owners of the company - that personal attention goes a long way towards creating happy clients." > MIke Lowden > Regional Sales Representative > Mosaic Tile Company **★★★★★ — spratt30, Feb. 2014** > I love working with the Synergy Team. They are professional and responsive, have great design ideas, and go out of their way to take care of their clients. I've worked with them on many projects over the years, and I must say, they are one of the best! **★★★★★ — Alimond Photog, Feb. 2014** > I'm excited every time I get to work with Synergy on one of their finished projects. They are always stunning spaces that make it easy to showcase, but my favorite part is doing their client video testimonials. To hear how much their clients love working with them is very heartwarming. They take what is usually a scary and frustrating process and make it easy and fun and their clients can't help but go on and on about how happy they are. It's great to know a company like this exists and I can't wait for them to renovate my home one day! **★★★★★ — tomisgreat, Aug. 2013** > We used Synergy for our kitchen and family room remodel. We moved to our new house in June 2013. We had a vision for our new house and we wanted a company that could make that dream come true. We have worked with many companies in the past and we have never seen a company like this before. There professionalism and design ideas were top of the line. They were always accessible and timely. Each team member took pride in what they were doing and they respected all of our needs. It was a pleasure working with Synergy and we look forward to working with them again. I will continue recommending them no matter what the project size is. **★★★★★ — David Gilmer, June 2013** > This being our first major home renovation, we really did not know what to expect. Synergy D&C helped make this project so easy and seamless. From our initial consultation with Synergy to our final walk through, we felt 100% in-tuned and satisfied with Mina and the Synergy team. They made this happen by sitting down with us and understanding us as individuals and as a couple. We also have developed a great new relationship on a business and personal level with the entire Synergy D&C team. > > Not only did Synergy D&C educate us throughout the process; they respected and included us in every decision. They are extremely knowledgeable, trustworthy, highly skilled and experienced and we have recommended them to everyone we know. **★★★★★ — amychek, Feb. 2013** > Synergy FAR exceeded my expectations in designing and building our new kitchen. They took the time to understand us, our lifestyle, our goals, our likes and dislikes and ensured every single detail was considered in the design. Although the remodeling process itself is never fun, the team made it as minimally disruptive as possible and set realistic expectations for timelines, so we knew exactly what was going to happen and when. Every person on the team was highly committed to ensuring perfection. The result of great planning, a great design and great execution: we've had our dream kitchen for well over a year now and there is not a single thing we would change, nor a thing that was overlooked. It is both a stunning showplace and a wonderful, functional workspace - it's no wonder Synergy won a coveted award for this project! We are thrilled with it, and we know that no other company could have delivered the result and the experience that we got. I highly recommend Synergy Design and Construction! **★★★★★ — nicolacaul, Feb. 2013** > Thank you to the Synergy team for all the great work on designing our perfect European kitchen. We certainly put everyone to the test, deciding to undertake this project while five months pregnant – with twins! Not only did Synergy work with us to ensure the project was completed on time, they stuck to it despite an unforeseen electrical set back (which is just as well as the twins decided to arrive 6 1/2 weeks early....) We are very happy with our new contemporary but family friendly kitchen and love the clean lines, large island, and beautiful tile. Our twin girls love it too but have yet to make us dinner! **★★★★★ — rnagle, Jan. 2013** > Synergy's attention to detail has been outstanding throughout the planning phase of our renovation. Synergy's design team exceeded our expectations and as demolition has now begun we eagerly await the construction phase. We have every confidence that Synergy's team will once again wow us. > > Update: Our Kitchen/Great Room renovation is complete and Synergy's design and construction teams absolutely blew us away with their attention to detail and customer service. To be fair, it is not possible to completely convey our level of satisfaction in a short review. When is the last time you worked with a team of professionals whose standards for excellence exceed your own? Without fail, when we would raise a potential issue with Synergy we would find out they had already noticed it and created a plan to address it. Think about that for a moment, not push back, not an attempt to avoid extra work by saying there is no issue. Instead, reassurance that they are holding themselves to a standard that is higher than your own. Simply put, that never happens. Yet with Synergy it is just the way they work. > When their level of craftsmanship (which is nothing short of uniformly excellent) is married with Synergy's ability to design and deliver breathtaking spaces, the result redefines what renovating can and should be. We could not be more satisfied and impressed with our new Kitchen/Great Room. > Synergy gets our highest possible recommendation on all facets of design and construction. ## Selected projects - [Chapel Cross Way Main Level Kitchen & Basement Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/chapel-cross-way-main-level-kitchen-and-basement-renovation-pj-vj~7801878) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 36 - Description: Main-Level Kitchen Renovation in Reston, VA This Reston, Virginia, home had strong bones, but the main level didn’t align with how the homeowners lived or entertained.

A: Hi and thanks for the question! This flooring is actually oak hardwood that the clients already had in their home. The grain is natural to the red oak wood. We sanded it down and refinished it with a "custom" stain -- a 50/50 blend of Minwax "Special Walnut" and "Gunstock." \- Emily **Q: Can you tell me what color countertops this is?** *(in Photo Questions)* I am interest in the color and type of countertop pictured. A: Of course! Yes, one of our favorites for sure ;) **Q: Sky lights** *(in Photo Questions)* This is a comment on the sky lights. We installed 3 prismatic sky lights in our home. 2 in bathrooms and one in laundry room. Prismatic sky lights have a diffused light, bring in tons of light without the glare and heat. Rooms are filled with natural light. My husband is an architect and uses them in most of his designs. . A: Thanks for the comment! Skylights are indeed a great way to add natural light. **Q: Love the wine storage** *(in Photo Questions)* Might you share the dimensions of the individual wine cubbies? Thanks very much! A: Hi there and thanks for the question! We don't have a record of our manufacturer's exact dimensions for those wine cubbies, but they are approximately 4.5" square. \- Emily **Q: Where can you find the bar table?** *(in Photo Questions)* Where can you find the bar table? A: Hi Tamara - thanks for the question. This is a custom “pub table” from Etsy which added an industrial element to the space. Thanks - the Synergy Team **Q: island dimensions** *(in Photo Questions)* Do you know the island dimensions? A: Hi and thanks for the question! The dimensions of this island countertop are 10'-5" x 3'-2 1/2" \- Emily --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-08-18.*
