Tabor Design Build, Inc.

We completed two projects with Tabor Design Build. Both projects turned out beautifully, with the work being completed exactly as planned. The staff were fantastic and responsive during the entire length of the projects. I would recommend Tabor to anyone.

John and the entire Tabor team were a pleasure to work with. They are always professional and the quality of their work is outstanding from start to finish. We especially loved their thoughtful approach to the full design-build process: the vast majority of our selections were made prior to contract, so there were no cost surprises throughout the project and we were able to stay on budget - and importantly, on time! We would recommend them to anyone looking for a full-spectrum design-build project for their house!

I have been working with this team for over 2 years and they give great service and a pleasure to work with.

Tabor Design Build did my kitchen years ago. When I decided to remodel my bathroom I called them again. When I’m ready for the next project I will again call them. They are a responsive and talented group of people.

I am a grateful repeat customer of Tabor Design Build (TDB). Approximately 10 years ago, I had an excellent remodeling experience with TDB for home improvements that added greatly to our quality of life and the value of our home. The second time was most recently when significant repairs were required due to an accident. I sought out TDB because I needed a company that I could trust to do quality work in a crisis. I was not disappointed. TDB responded immediately with a visit to my property and a plan, giving me peace of mind knowing that my needs would be cared for. TDB worked with my public adjuster and insurance company from the beginning. The TDB construction agreement was clear and straightforward, containing a breakdown of the work and no weasel wording. I had a dedicated project manager, who kept in close contact with me, keeping me abreast of the schedule and providing daily texts during construction advising me what work would be done that day. The project manager was patient and responsive to my requests. He even helped me move heavy furniture that I could not move myself, and went above and beyond, hauling away extra construction debris from the accident. The TDB tradespeople were friendly and professional and did high-quality work. For example, the painter noticed that the paint on the baseboards differed between rooms and he made a special effort to ensure that the paint used in each room was an exact match. I felt like everyone on the TDB team had my best interests at heart and now my home is in better shape than before the accident.

Tabor opened up our living space and made it something special. They had a plan and a schedule and they were able to stick to it even when unexpected challenges came up. They helped with a follow up project that needed their expert touch and they really came through for us.

My family has now used Tabor Design Build for two major projects, and have been thrilled with the process and the work both times. We originally found Tabor listed as the Most Trustworthy contractor in Washingtonian Magazine, so used them for a full renovation of our unfinished basement in 2015. They turned the space into a master den, bathroom, laundry and storage area, and everything was on schedule, on budget, no surprises, and great craftsmanship. We were so happy with the basement, that we then went back to Tabor this year (2023) for a full gut and reno of our kitchen. The design team is top notch. We looked at so many creative options, including layout, materials, and amenities. Then, the construction was on-schedule, again on-budget, and once again had no major surprises. The day-to-day Project Manager was highly communicative, and really knew his trade. We are thrilled with our new kitchen. There are a few things that separate Tabor from other firms in the DC area: 1) You deal with the owner, John Tabor, himself. He is very nice and great to work with. But that also means that if there is any sort of problem, you are just one phone call away from the owner and he’ll make things happen. Thankfully, our Project Managers were great in both projects, so we didn’t have to go up the chain, but we knew that there is a level of accountability there just in case; 2) Tabor’s brand is honesty, transparency and communication. There are truly no surprises, and your work and payment schedules are all crystal clear. And when little issues come up, they are immediately responsive and communicative; and 3) the design team and the craftsmanship is all top-notch. So, you can rest assured that you’re getting as good a job as anywhere, but also the peace of mind of working with a firm (and John Tabor himself) that prides itself on honesty and transparency. We will continue to recommend friends and colleagues to Tabor and look forward to working with Tabor for any future projects.

We contacted John at TDB when it was time to remodel our Kitchen. John's team and designer helped us realize our vision of the layout and color scheme. From design with many edits, we were able to visualize exactly how the kitchen area would look once finished. We ended up adding many more projects ( fireplace surround, all new flooring, new staircase and rails, powder room, laundry room, new interior doors.) TDB was very accommodating and the finishes all blended well. Once the project stared, TDB kept to the timeline and the additional projects did not cause many delays. I strongly recommend contacting TDB for any home improvement inside or out. John will make it happen!

Absolutly outstsanding work! timely, professional and the attention to detail was exceptional. Such a great team to work with. Thank you Matt for our new living space. 110% will use Tabor Design Build again.

We highly recommend the Tabor Design Build team. We have used them for 2 projects. In both cases, they were professional, helpful, responsive, efficient, friendly, and organized. They helped us design a plan that has transformed our home. We couldn’t be happier. John (Sensitive Information Hidden) is very open and honest and has put together a great team. GM Chris held weekly and adhoc meetings to keep the projects on track and handle any issues. The PM’s were on-site every day and did a great job managing the subcontractors. Great care was taken with the jobs, as if they were working in their own home. The site was cleaned up daily. Both jobs were finished within budget and on time. The first project, in 2021, was a major kitchen renovation (moving it from the front to the back of the house) and an addition (laundry/mudroom, full bath and screened porch). Designer Jane was very helpful. PM Matt and his team were terrific. We were so happy with the first project, we had TBD back in 2023 to update our basement and renovate 2 bathrooms. Once again, the staff and work were great. Designer Erin recommended wonderful finishes and understood our needs. PM Jack and his team were great to work with. We are so pleased with the work that TBD did for us. We would use them again and we highly recommend Tabor Design Build.

I recently used Tabor Design Build and couldn't be any happier! I so rarely write reviews but thought this situation merited taking the time to share my experience. From Hello until Goodbye, I was impressed by the knowledgeable team, the designs created, and finally by the attention to detail thru the construction!!! I recommend Tabor Design Build without hesitation.

Just finished having our master bedroom and bathroom transformed . The Tabor Design Build team did a great job from design work to completion. The team of subs were polite and efficient and the site was kept clean every day which made the house easier to live in during the project. The master bath turned out even better than we could have imagined and although we didn't have alot of room to work with, the cedar walk-in closet is perfect with more room than we expected. I've worked with other contractors and never had a project go so smoothly. We highly recommend this team of professionals.
