ADR Builders, Ltd.

I cannot say enough about how amazing a company ADR Builders is. Bret worked closely with us to ensure that our project met our needs, but would come in within our budget as well. We had detailed conversations in which he helped us explore our options. Bret is extremely knowledgeable, highly engaged and very responsive. Sarah perfected the design. She shared great ideas for refining our project and provided diagrams and 3D renderings that helped us visualize our project's final form. Sarah also personally assisted us in choosing materials that while beautiful would also keep us within our overall budget allocation. Once work began, it was clear to us that Andy and Andreas were skilled craftsman. They demonstrated both their knowledge as well as their commitment to quality workmanship. They couldn't have been more meticulous in bringing the vision to life, while keeping us apprised of progress. I wholeheartedly recommend ADR Builders to anyone looking for a trustworthy company to do a high quality home improvement project.

ADR is an outstanding company. Bret (the president/owner) is incredibly responsive, engaged, and immediately available. the budget estimate was spot on, and when there were savings, Brett passed those on to us, and when there was more work necessary (unexpected complications, our request for in-project changes) he was clear, communicative, and transparent. Chris and Matt were the carpenter/assistant team who handled our project, and both were a pleasure to work with and to have in our home. Chris is a perfectionist who, in addition to being a highly skilled carpenter, is truly an expert at cabinet installation, tile work, metal work, and coordinating subcontractors. In contrast to other companies, where literally everything is subcontracted out, Chris and Matt did essentially all of the work themselves, from demolition to framing to tile prep to a cabinet installation, with only plumbing, electrical, and countertop installation subbed out. This meant that there was never any waiting on subcontractors or non-productive days. With regards to subcontractors, both the plumbers and electricians were top-notch, doing quality work on time and within budget. We will definitely use ADR again for future projects.

The team at ADR Builders were excellent to work with from start to finish. They were friendly, organized, highly communicative, and always collaborative. Like with any big project, we experienced some unforeseen challenges along the way--mainly due to some drainage issues in our house's 100-year-old foundation. The team was quick to help find effective solutions that kept the project on track. We couldn't be happier with the final product, and we'd definitely use them again.

I highly recommend ADR BUILDERS. ADR builders Andy and Andres demolished our old porch and constructed a modestly large screened-in porch that is beautiful and solid as a rock. I watched in amazement as they did it all by themselves. Unbelievable! The porch is great looking from all angles. They didn't cut any corners either (pun). I will hire them again for any further projects.

ADR was totally professional at every level. They used the latest technology to enhance our understanding of the plan, sent us detailed spread sheets of progress and bill explanation and have very skilled and helpful employees. I especially appreciated Chris as the project manager and Sarah as the designer. Both showed excellent knowledge in their field and when extra research was required, they went above and beyond to get the answers and even give us a choice of options. We are very impressed with this company.

I cannot recommend ADR enough! Unwavering professionalism from start to finish. Unlike many other contractors, ADR is extremely responsive during each step of the design + execution process. Once the work has begun they will be there every day until it is completed-you can count on them. Their super-team of highly trained professionals across all areas of the project continued to wow us with their expertise and quality craftsmanship.

We are thrilled with our new kitchen, as well as with our experience with ADR builders. We did a complete kitchen re-do, with a few add-ons including replacing the back door and a some windows. Bret and his team handled the project from start to finish, including kitchen design and choice of materials, and were incredibly professional. Bret was great to work with and was very responsive to our needs and questions. Sarah went to showrooms with us and provided great guidance on choosing cabinets, hardware, tile, and fixtures. We were assigned a work team, Andy and Andres, who were always there and who ensured the house stayed as clean as possible during construction. They set up a surprisingly workable temporary kitchen in our dining room and even lent us a portable electric oven + burners. We really appreciated their skill and ability to handle anything, including the unpleasant discovery of extensive termite damage when they pulled up the old floor. Bret gave us choices for repairing it, which we appreciated. Now we have a beautiful new oak floor on top of structurally sound joists! We are enjoying our new kitchen, which is a fantastic space for cooking and entertaining, in addition to being beautiful. We highly recommend ADR builders!

A little over a year ago I started interviewing contractors for a project at Rosebank in Baltimore. I was redoing my kitchen, a small room behind the kitchen and my deck. I was doing this in memory of my husband who was the cook of the family and he always wanted a good kitchen to work in. Our kitchen at the time had seen quite a few years of wear and tear and it was ready for a new look. I was finally able to start this project last year and as soon as Bret walked into my home I knew it was him who I wanted to do my project. We walked and talked through some ideas and I made the decision to start the work. I met Sarah, my wonderful designer and she took me around to pick out the cabinets at Northfield Kitchens where Sean was super easy to work with. We finished our selections of the other products I would need and work began. I had two wonderful fellows, Corey and Tyler who worked on the project. They were great to have around and walked me through everything they were doing. I was so happy with the end results. Everything is so beautiful and all my friends and relatives just love how everything turned out. I love sitting out on my new deck in the summertime and I know my husband is smiling down as I have finally gotten the knack of cooking! Thank you Bret, Sarah, Corey and Tyler and all the other workers who came in to finish up the job and give me such a beautiful space! I love it! Now I have to save my pennies so I can have you redo my upstairs bathroom! Thanks again Bret for a wonderful job.

From our first meeting with Bret, to the amazing design by Sarah and the workmanship and attention to detail of Chris and Trey we couldn't be happier with our renovation. Everyone was always on time every time and they were so considerate of our space and us during the entire 13 weeks they were in our home. We would highly recommend ADR Builders to anyone looking for a professional, hard working and dedicated team.

We wanted a design-build firm for our project because we were making significant changes to our third floor. ADR was very professional in the initial evaluation, plan and estimate, and impressed us with their thoroughness and good communication. Sarah was very responsive in providing the design we wanted in the space we had, and the construction crew was very competent, polite and reliable. They were very good about letting us know what they had done each day and what the plans were for the next day. When they found problems, we were provided with details and options for dealing with the issues. They were great about consulting with us on all the details, such as fixtures, paints, etc. We are very pleased with the end result that transformed an old, awkward and dated bathroom into a beautiful and usable space, and added a closet and other improvements to the rest of the floor, and we highly recommend ADR.

ADR was wonderful start to finish. They helped with the design and selection of the materials for our new kitchen in addition to demolition and construction. The space required demolition and is an old building so there were lots of potential problems. The crew was great and spent a lot of time making sure that the details were done to our liking. They went above and beyond . Everyone was professional and they worked hard to make sure that the job was finished in a timely manner. We love our new kitchen. This is the third time , in three different places, we have used ADR. They have been great each time. I recommend them to everyone.

ADR completed a kitchen renovation and a small laundry addition for us and we couldn’t be happier. From the beginning of the project they were clear and responsive communicators, and they consistently worked hard to understand what we wanted and to stay within our budget. Our build team once the job began were absolutely fantastic. They were respectful, thoughtful, thorough, and highly skilled. The construction portion of our project happened during the pandemic, (while our family transitioned to telework and virtual school), which you would think would make this whole process highly stressful, but ADR made it easier than I ever could have imagined. We absolutely love the finished kitchen and living space. I highly recommend ADR and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again for any subsequent house projects.
