TESTIMONIALS I couldn’t ask for a more positive experience. The work was completed earlier than projected. You consistently came up with better ideas than we had to solve those inevitable problems that come up in any remodeling job. Thank you for a job well done! - David, Arlington, VA We really appreciate the way you back up your customer service promise so consistently… and you can be sure we tell people often what a great experience we have had with Commonwealth. Thank you for taking all the steps to get us up and running… - Susan and Keith, McLean, VA We could not even have predicted how well it would have gone or how happy we would be before you started our remodel…We’re just crazy about the way it all looks now – it’s beyond what we imagined. You’ve given us something with that WOW! factor that we wanted. We’ve gotten LOTS of compliments. - Mike and Clark,Lake Barcroft, VA My husband and I have never found a contractor better than Commonwealth…and we should know. Over the 25 years since Commonwealth put a major addition on our house in Herndon, VA, we have worked with at least 10 contractors in 4 different states. None could beat Kelvin and Susan, and most couldn’t even come close. We wish we could have convinced them to move with us every time we needed to do a home renovation or construction project. - AH Waigand, Herndon, VA We are thankful you came into our lives last spring. You have the innate talent, cultivated expertise, intelligence, industriousness and character to succeed! - Joan, Vienna, VA

As I was sitting in my kitchen this morning, contemplating another day inside with my family, I realized how grateful I am that I have such a beautiful space to wake up to every morning. It makes this whole social distancing thing a lot easier. We really love our new home. All the added space and light has made our lives so much better, and even more so now that we are all together at home for the foreseeable future. We highly recommend Commonwealth Home Design.

We had the pleasure of working with Commonwealth Home Design on an extensive renovation of our entire house. We are thrilled with the outcome and recommend them highly and without reservation. From the beginning to the end of the process, each and every person we worked with was professional, organized, knowledgeable and reliable. In addition, we found them always sensitive to our needs and respectful of our property and our pets. All sub-contractors were managed seamlessly. Our house was always kept vacuumed, clean, organized and safe. What we found very impressive about the Commonwealth team was the project planning and communication. Before work started, we were provided with a detailed project plan and cost estimates, and we were educated on what to expect during each stage of the project. This plan and budget was well adhered to and our change orders were accepted with flexibility and fairness. There were no surprises or disappointments, and every day we received written communication about the work performed that day and planned for the next. The best part of the experience was the final result, which exceeded our expectations in terms of design, workmanship and quality. As mentioned above, this was an extensive renovation – yet in the end there was almost no punch list at all! We would not hesitate to work with the Commonwealth team again and give them our strongest recommendation.

We had a great experience with Kelvin and Susan Pierce and their team. We've never done a big renovation before and were pretty nervous about it. They took down our kitchen walls and moved the kitchen to the dining room area to create an open concept kitchen/dining/living room, converted our fireplace to gas, built a deck off the living room, and updated our hall bath. The project came in on time (9 wks) and very close to on budget (we had a couple "add-ons" that put us a little over). Our project manager, Dave, was phenomenal - very patient with our many questions - and a true craftsman. We've been back in the house for 6 weeks now and are still pinching ourselves...it's beautiful, functional, and exactly what we hoped for...a dream come true.

I've had the pleasure of working with Commonwealth Home Design on many projects for the several years. What I've appreciated most about the firm is their ability to solve problems with creative architectural design solutions. Many of the firms' clients come to them for innovative ideas and to rework projects that were mishandled. Having an architect as owner allows the firm to foresee and quickly address issues before they get to construction. The firm's project management staff ensures progress is made on a daily basis and keeps clients apprised of developments so there aren't any surprises. Their in-house kitchen/bath designer brings specialized knowledge of interior design trends and materials. Across the board, Commonwealth Home Design is among the best home remodeling and residential architecture firms in Northern Virginia.

This is a gorgeous white kitchen. It doesn't look "small" at all. Very spacious and clean. This kitchen looks like home.
