WINN Design+Build

We had an outstanding experience with Winn Design + Build from start to finish. The quality of their work is exceptional, and their attention to detail truly sets them apart. Every element of the project was thoughtfully executed, and you can tell they take real pride in craftsmanship. Sean, Diego, and Morgan were fantastic to work with throughout the entire process. They were consistently communicative, responsive, and proactive — always keeping us informed and making sure our questions were answered. Their guidance made what could have been a stressful process feel organized and manageable. We are incredibly pleased with the final result and would highly recommend Winn Design + Build to anyone looking for a team that combines professionalism, quality, and genuine care for their clients.

We are very grateful to the whole Winn team for our home renovation. The entire Winn team was a joy to work with. The architectural and design plan was so thoughtful and incorporated a new addition to our older home beautifully. The production team has carried out the plan with attention to detail and exceeded our expectations. We are so excited to enjoy our new home for many years come.

We engaged Michael and the team for an extensive renovation and expansion of our home, essentially doubling our footprint and adding a three-story extension. We had given a lot of careful, detailed thought to what we wanted and how we planned to live in the house, and we worked closely with the Winn team throughout the design and planning phases. The team was terrific in all respects, from their attention to detail and precision, efficient and prompt communication, and completely professional handling of the jobsite and the daily demands of construction. We’re probably not supposed to admit this, but there were entire days when we even forgot we were in the middle of a massive renovation. We have to give a special shoutout to Conrad, of course for his master artistry and expert skill, but even more importantly for his steadfastness, kindness, and his solid trustworthiness. The house turned out even better than expected, and we love every minute that we spend in it.

Communication was excellent throughout the entire process. They were punctual, fast, and respectful of our home, and left the workspace clean and tidy each day.

Working with Winn Design + Build was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Their team took my vision and turned it into reality with impressive attention to detail and creativity. They guided me through each phase of the project, making sure I understood the timeline, budget, and design options available. The level of communication was top-notch, and I always felt informed and involved in the decision-making process. What really set them apart was their commitment to quality—every element of the design and construction was handled with care, and the finished product was even better than I had imagined. Winn Design + Build truly made the process smooth and stress-free, and I couldn't be happier with my new space. Highly recommend them for anyone looking for a dependable and talented design and build team.

They helped in many ways through my kitchen remodel. I am impressed with their skills and friendliness. The crew had a great attitude throughout and did excellent work. They were efficient, clean and got the job done on time.

We contracted with Winn to add a sunroom and main floor bath to our house, as well as to construct a garage, finish an exercise room and full bath in our basement, and to put new siding on our house. Working with Winn was a pleasure, from start to finish. Their in-house architect helped to ensure that the addition blended well with the existing structure, and their interior designers worked closely with us in selecting fixtures and paint colors. Winn's project manager was on-site every day, scheduling and supervising subcontractors, in addition to working on cabinetry. He had a keen eye for detail, and consulted with us as various aesthetic and functional questions arose over the course of the construction. The entire project came in within budget and on schedule. We could not be happier with the results, and can enthusiastically recommend Winn.

We engaged WINN for a significant renovation including a kitchen overhaul, carpentry, floors, electrical, venting, painting and built-ins throughout our house. We had a vision of what we wanted but worked well with their design team to get ideas and feedback. The project was challenged when our design coordinator left the firm late in the design phase, but they made sure the timeline was not impacted. The architectural team brought practical solutions to the plans considering how the house is structured and used. Our project manager, Conrad, was wonderful, being detail-oriented, flexible with details and ensuring subcontractors completed their work timely and accurately. When our hardwood floors were sanded and stained with the wrong color, they made sure the work was redone at the subcontractor's expense. Due to family issues, we needed to stay in the house throughout the renovation and Conrad made sure we only had to leave the house during the flooring work. Overall, we were happy with the process and thrilled with the results and would absolutely engage them for another project.

We added onto our 1938 Cape Cod style house in Arlington, Virginia to accommodate a three generation family of five. Winn Design did a great job incorporating the requests from all of us. For Gramma, me, there is a lovely first floor suite with a wide ADA compliant hall and a private bathroom. For my son and his wife there is a new bedroom with beautiful skylights and a master bath bath on the second floor and an art studio with lots of light in the basement. For the tween and teen granddaughters there are bedrooms for each of them and they only need to share a bath. For all of us there is now a large comfortable screened porch right off the kitchen. Everyone we worked with at Winn was pleasant and capable. The onsite supervisor kept us informed every work day by text and photographs about the progress being made and what to expect next. I couldn't be happier with our "new" house.

We worked with Winn Design+Build to renovate our 1927 home with a 2002 addition. The project involved a complete exterior renovation to improve the home's curb appeal, the addition of a screened porch, converting an existing room to a mudroom, and a kitchen renovation. We decided to work with the Winn team because of their experience renovating older homes while maintaining their historical character and appeal, and we are thrilled with how the project turned out. The Winn team was a pleasure to work with throughout. While there was some turnover in the team members assigned to our project, we consistently had the support we needed and felt lucky to be even more impressed by the new team (thank you, Lauren and Ken!). Winn was collaborative and always responsive to our questions and suggestions, including being willing to research a new siding material for our exterior that they had never worked with before that we all ended up loving. We lived in our home throughout the renovation and the Winn team made every effort to minimize the disruption to our daily lives and keep the work site as clean as possible. Everyone who worked on the project was kind and courteous, and all our neighbors noted this as well as the quality of the work. We are particularly grateful to have had the best possible project manager, Conrad, who ensured that everything ran smoothly and who we genuinely miss seeing every day!

We thought updating our 1960’s home with its many different additions and styles would be impossible, but Micheal Winn and his talented team did it beautifully. We wanted to update the kitchen, dining room/office, and a rear addition to match the midcentury style of the front of the house. WINN understood what we wanted better than other firms we interviewed and presented multiple options to achieve our goals. Once a design was selected, we appreciated the constant communication and collaboration throughout the process. Working with talented architects who listen to your ideas and provide honest feedback was an absolute highlight of the project for us. In the end, we now have a beautiful and cohesive house. WINN was able to open the adjoining rooms while creating clear definition to each space. Everywhere you can see and feel the excellent craftsmanship. The natural light that pours into the house is spectacular! The repurposing of an underutilized storage room at the back of the garage into a home office was a brilliant idea that brought exceptional value and a key room addition we never would have imagined. The WINN team gave us our dream house and we love living in it.

We worked with WINN Design on a renovation of our 100 year-old farmhouse and we have been very happy with the outcome. The renovation involved rehabbing the old part of the house, digging out a new basement, bumping out two additions and adding a self-standing garage: it was a very large and complex project. The result is beautiful! In planning the design, the WINN team -- and especially architect James Finn -- worked with us to maintain the charm of our old house, meet our new needs, and come up with solutions that helped make the most of our space. The team listened to our requests and incorporated them into the design and responded to our questions and ideas along the way. The team also helped find solutions in the design that would help us to stay within our budget constraints. We had a good, professional, building team behind the project that was reinforced by weekly meetings to discuss progress, raise issues, and find solutions to the inevitable problems that occur when working on an old house. Although we had a change in project manager early in the project, the transition was smooth and the new project manager brought considerable value-added given his experience. The Lead Builder (Paul Walhout) has great experience, was on site every day, contributed to and oversaw the work, and coordinated the wide range of sub-contractors involved. He was easy to work with and responsive to our queries. On the interiors, we received excellent support from Jennifer Hall in making choices on the myriad of details related to cabinets, plumbing fixtures, lighting, flooring and the like - a gazillion decisions to be made that were broken down into manageable chunks so that we could get it all done. The old and new parts of the house meld together beautifully. WINN also helped to get new siding from the manufacturer when the siding we received was not up to specification and, although it delayed the project, it was important that this be right. WINN also helped us get a deal on half-rounded gutters that would have been beyond our reach without their support. No project of this magnitude goes without a few hitches. The project took longer than anticipated, partly because of early delays in concrete delivery and partly because of some unanticipated issues that required additional framing in the old part of the house. Earlier communication of the actual end-date would have been helpful as we needed to find new housing arrangements. There was one sub-contractor who was not particularly responsive and resolution of that might have helped speed things up. Throughout the process when we raised specific issues and concerns, WINN was responsive. After many years of starts and stops, we are delighted to be in our beautiful “new, old house.” While the house is ready for the next 100 years, it retains its original charm, and we are grateful to WINN Design for helping us to achieve this goal. We’re happy to recommend WINN for projects such as ours.
