Joy Design + Build

I get to wake up every morning in my dream home. My husband and I had a vision of what our dream home looked like. We had pictures saved, boards on houzz and many pinterest boards. We were lucky enough to find Joy Design + Build to help make our dream home real. We worked closely with the team right from the start. They looked at land with us. They created the architecture plans we described. They helped us understand details we were new to in the home building process. They also helped find decor details we absolutely wanted in our home. They were invested in every last detail of our home. Even though our home is complete, they continuously check in to do any touch ups that is needed. We don't feel like our home was just a project for Joy. We don't feel like we are just a client. We feel like we are part of the Joy Design + Build family.

When selecting Joy to build our first custom home, we had done our homework and had high expectations. Incredibly, the Joy team exceeded those expectations. Tara Richmond, our design consultant, understood our vision and guided us through the process with the excellence that only comes from years of experience. Marc Shaw, our Project Manager, ensured the final product was of the highest quality and value. His expert craftsmanship and attention to the tiniest of details guaranteed a stress-free experience. I highly recommend Joy Design + Build for your dream home.

Joy Custom Homes was the right choice to design and build our home. John Joy and his team were personally involved in helping us make every decision from the placement of the kitchen island to the door knobs. People often comment on the quality and attention to detail in our home. Six and half years later, my house feels like new. Timeless design for today’s family, with the upmost attention to detail, quality, budget and timeline. My husband and I have happily recommended Joy Custom Homes with no hesitations.

Following our own careers in residential building, we chose Joy Design & Build to build our new home. The scope of this project demanded the experience, quality craftsmanship, and team work Joy's team provided. We appreciated all the creative looks and input. We truly love our home!

Joy Design's professional team assisted us throughout the design and building process. We appreciated their creative solutions and flexible approach in building a custom home. In the years since completion of our home, the team has continued to follow up regarding any maintenance issues in order to keep our home in excellent condition.

Probably the finest custom home in Mclean, and created from design to delivery by Joy Design. Seven bedrooms, too many baths to recall, five car multiple structure garage and elegant ceiling structures that are hard to forget once seen. Building supervisor Bob Kamphuis, who handled our construction, is a real professional with keen knowledge of all aspects of his craft, addressing issues as they would arise on the fly, and even taking on work by his own hand when needed. Highly recommended.

We built a house from the ground up with John Joy and his incredible team. It was our first build and we had small children. His team was fantastic because it included individuals like Tara and Chris. Each was able to hand hold us through the process. This kept us on track and focused on our goals and timeline. In the end, it gave us a spectacular house which was truly customized to our wishes and budget. John was able to deliver a very high quality house that is evident when you walk in.

Joy Design build was great to work with and helped me build my dream home! My ideas gathered over many years were all worked into this amazing home and the process was fun an enjoyable! I'm pleased with the follow through after moving in, and would highly recommend this company to those who have a strong idea of what they want to build!

Glad to find this hidden gem for my first custom home. I never thought of building a home from a scratch, however I do have a dream home in mind. Joy team gave us the opportunity to fulfill it sooner than later. The entire process is fun and easy. John has the big vision. Tara has the magic inside out. Chris has the project in control. Jason, Bob, Adam & Kristy make sure all details are in place. Everyone is all in to build a house we want. The house is simply but elegant. This is exactly what we wanted.

When we decided to downsize from our home in Mclean we wanted to find a place with a walkable lifestyle. After searching from Arlington to Reston we found the perfect location in a townhome next to Reston town center. Unfortunately it needed a lot of updating so we turned to Joy Design +build. Joy made it as effortless as remodeling can be. Tara, their in house design and selection expert, was instrumental in helping us narrow our selection down and came up with some terrific ideas and more moderate priced alternatives. Tim our project Manager kept everything on schedule as much as possible and came up with some creative ideas that really enhanced the project. He took all our concerns and requests to heart staying on many nights and weekends to get it just right. We are so pleased with Joy and would not hesitate to use them again.

After buying a large spec home that turned out to be less than we expected, we decided to forge ahead and build exactly what we wanted - or thought we wanted. Admittedly, the process was overwhelming. Yet, we ended up with a home that far exceeded our very high expectations. We are thrilled to entertain one or 200 in our new home, and we highly recommend the team at Joy to make your dreams come true.

Great work and very responsive and friendly. Any issues that arose were promptly resolved. I highly recommend this person and contractor.
