Horizon Building

Thank you Horizon, for turning my house into my home! The team’s workmanship, attention to detail and skill was exemplary. They took my tired looking 1973 built town house and turned it into a light filled, contemporary, energy efficient, and beautiful home! To the entire team, including Micheal, Mike Snr., Steve, Andres, William and Alex, THANK YOU!

I believe that deciding to invest in your home is always an important decision, and who you decide to work with is of the same importance. We bought a very unique piece of property and decided to build a custom home. Our research led us to Horizon Building. Horizon Building has been building new homes, delivering renovations and home additions for almost 40 years in Northern Virginia. This is a generational family business so you should expect a very personal vs. corporate relationship, and you will benefit from a team that knows how to navigate ever changing Fairfax County building requirements! For us, this is exactly what we had hoped for, as unique projects require collaboration and communication. We are one year into living in our new home, and we are very happy. And Horizon Building Corporation has remained proactive in addressing any concerns that come up as the house settles in. This is a full recommendation to consider working with Horizon Building Corporation for any investment you decide to make in your home.

Michael Ipsan and the team at Horizon Building exceeded all our expectations with the full renovation of our 1950's Mt Vernon home. From the get-go, Michael made himself extraordinarily available, listened, shared his knowledge of the trade, and gave super clear advice. He followed through on every single task, cast a vision when we were stuck on a decision, brainstormed options to fit our budget, and achieved our goal of modernizing our home without losing its vintage charm. You can't beat the spirit of a family-owned company, and we felt this as each member of the Horizon team worked in our home. They were congenial, organized, predictable, and diligent. It was evident they enjoyed their jobs and were proud of their work. As a prior military family, taking on a renovation for the first time, we are grateful to have gone through this process with such a dedicated and professional company.

Horizon Building Corporation came highly recommended by a friend, and after working with them, I can confidently say they exceeded every expectation. From the very beginning, their team was incredibly responsive to my inquiry and provided a competitive, transparent quote. They were honest, professional, and offered helpful suggestions and options throughout the process. I had a major issue with water damage across three levels of my home due to a cracked toilet water supply line while I was out of town. Horizon handled everything—from mold removal and treatment to repairing bathroom and living room flooring, ceiling restoration, and garage drywall repair. Their attention to detail and commitment to quality were evident in every step. What truly stood out was how much they cared. They went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of, keeping me informed and sticking to the timeline they promised. Their reliability and craftsmanship gave me peace of mind during a very stressful situation. I highly recommend Horizon Building Corporation for any home-related work. I’ll definitely be using them again in the future!

Michael Ipsahn is thorough and did a great job of informing me of all the potential issues and “land mines” I could have experienced with my renovation project. He did his due diligence in making calls to the appropriate governmental agencies to find about the permitting process that shockingly none of his competitors did. I am grateful for his expertise and presure-less effort to secure my business while discussing alternative options with my complex project. I would highly recommend Michael as he is thorough, knowledgeable and very generous with his time and expertise, as well as his follow through.

Horizon did a great job managing a major tree damage repair to our home. The were responsive, timely and the work is excellent. We are extremely pleased with the end result and would recommend them to anyone in need of a highly skilled, competent contractor. Sub-contractors were professional, neat and highly skilled. Most importantly, every member of the crew was trustworthy, and we quickly became comfortable with them accessing the home without supervision from me. I enjoyed working with the entire team.

Mike and the team were great to work with and their quality of work was outstanding. We had them complete a downstairs bathroom and bedroom renovation, and they made it a very easy process throughout the project. Even when some unexpected issues came up as we opened walls, the team listened to our desires as we discussed options. Based on all of this, we will definitely use Horizon for future renovations, and I highly recommend them.

Job consisted of building a large wooden deck and pouring a large stamped concrete patio. Completed the large project on time and on budget. Communicated job progress and planned work in an efficient manner. Took care of all of the permits. This is the latest project in a series of major projects that Horizon Building Corporation has completed for my family home.

Excellent experience! Great ideas. Fair price and stayed on budget. Also excellent communication throughout the project. Will definitely use them again!

Highly recommended! Picking a general contractor for our renovations was one of the most important and nerve wracking decisions we had to make. Mike Ipsom Jr. and his team were a home run. He was responsive, explained what was going on, and had an excellent team of subcontractors. Highly recommended.

We hired Horizon to add a front porch to our home. Mike and his team were a pleasure to work with from the very beginning. We especially appreciate their attention to detail and obvious desire to (not just get the job done, but) do the job right. Having worked with other contractors in the past who failed on communication and job oversight, it was a dream to have a contractor who frequently communicated about plans, delays, design decisions, etc and who was on the job site on a regular basis. We are very pleased with the final product and would highly recommend Horizon to any of our friends.

Horizon Builders (Mike Ipsan Sr & Mike Ipsan Jr.) and their team have been doing jobs for me for more than 25 years. They have worked on approximately 20 to 30 projects for myself, my own home as well as several rental properties I manage. They have worked on my parents home and my siblings homes. As a full-time Realtor I have been able to rely on them to complete jobs at my Buyers and Sellers homes and know that my clients will be more than pleased with the final results. The range of work they have completed for me ranges from numerous complete custom homes built from the ground up to new roofs and bath renovations. The quality of their work makes them the best value when it comes to ensuring that your home renovation is done with complete professionalism. Great easy going guys with a terrific team of supporting staff.
