Featured Reviews for Annapolis, MD Design-Build Firms

Morse Contracting
Annapolis, MD Design-Build Firms
Dec 30, 2014
“Randy was an excellent home contractor to work with. From the initial design of the home to the post move in, he has been thorough, helpful, and committed to ensuring we received what the quality house we planned for. For example - during the design and estimation phase, he provided helpful advice regarding room dimensions with respect to balancing ducting requirements, and noted were initial architect drawings of door placements could cause limitations with respect to electrical switch placement. These were areas my wife and I would not have immediately picked up on. His price estimates were complete and clearly broken down so we could make trade offs when necessary. His firm estimates did not change and the allowances for internal options were reasonable. The project came in within the time frame originally given, even though a very cold winter delayed the start by almost 6 weeks. Scheduling of the initial phases went very well to allow a catch up and the later phases coming to align with the original estimates. During the project, randy provided helpful options and trade off information regarding porch & driveway material and design, exterior porch framing material (AZEK PVC), and wood floor providers to allow us to choose the look and quality we wanted within our price range. Randy had a good rapport with his other contractors as evidenced by his ability to provide efficient scheduling of the trades to allow fast progress after a delayed start. Post move in, he has been helpful in resolving minor issues such as paint touch up and a bathroom fan replacement. He is very professional and complete in his work, we would very much recommend him.”
Creative Spaces Remodeling, LLC
Annapolis, MD Design-Build Firms
Jan 25, 2013
“Creative Spaces designed and built a mult-tiered kayak rack on our beach. The location was cumbersome and required them to watch the tides during construciton. The end result was beautiful, well constructed and has held up to the various weather elements (including Hurricane Sandy!).”
KB Lueck Building Consultants, LLC.
Annapolis, MD Design-Build Firms
Mar 21, 2013
“Kevin and Brenda renovated the exterior of my home and partially the interior. They went above and beyond to pay attention to all the details and also install a complex inside/outside fireplace. Their work is very professional and extremely well done.”
Metro Renovations Design Build
Annapolis, MD Design-Build Firms
Aug 7, 2019
“The professionalism and work quality done by Metro Renovations is superior. Everytime I met with Mr. Hicks about a project, he also explained the project in laymen terms so I could understand what was being done. In addition, he came while the projects were in progress to show me and reexplain the progress. There were not any surprises about the costs. That information was discussed and agreed upon by both parties before work began. Metro Renovations renovated my basement, built a retaining wall for me, did rewiring for me, and replaced a hot water heater for me. I would definetly recomment Metro Renovations is you want quality work and someone who is going to honest with you about your project. They exceed my expectations each time I need work done on my house.”
Timberlake Design Build
Annapolis, MD Design-Build Firms
Aug 29, 2013
“We hired Timberlake to do an extensive renovation of our home in 2009. They were a pleasure to work with during every step of the process. Dave Lunden was honest, very reliable and extremely organized. The project was finished on time and on budget. It progressed exactly as he said that it would with no hidden costs or delays. The Project Manager and all of the subcontractors were a pleasure to deal with on a daily basis. They shared in our enthusiasm, were polite, highly skilled, hard working and responsive. I have spoken with several people who have had extensive renovations done to their home and frequently it was a stressful and unpleasant experience for them. I can honestly say that our experience with Timberlake was the opposite. Since the renovation I have contacted them several times for questions about materials or warranties and they have always responded to my requests immediately. If we were ever to renovate another home we would definitely use Timberlake.”
Signature Dream Homes
Annapolis, MD Design-Build Firms
Mar 29, 2018
“After interviewing many contractors, we selected Rick Oliver and Signature Dream Homes for our complete kitchen gut/remodel. It involved lots of tricky aspects due to the age of the house, but his team of professionals handled it all with no problem. We are delighted with the results and always get compliments whenever someone visits. Best of all, Rick is honest. despite facing hidden hurdles in the job, he never tried to rip us off with "change orders." You can trust him to do a great job at the price he quotes.”
Distinctive Contracting Services
Annapolis, MD Design-Build Firms
Apr 6, 2014
“Chad does impeccable work. From start to finish he is thorough in all details of the job. He is one of the only contractors I have worked with that actually does the job they say they will.”
TailorCraft Builders, Inc.
Annapolis, MD Design-Build Firms
Oct 28, 2012
“TailorCraft has impressed us with their professionalism, quality and reasonable pricing over and over. We are on our second project with them, Rick and Aaron are knowledgable and responsive, and their crew is terrific. Our first project involved a floor to roof remodel of an old beach cottage, there were many unknowns when we started and lots of choices to be made along the way. TailorCraft consistently took the high road and helped us figure out how to make good choices, our home will easily last for another 75 years. I have worked with many contractors before, and there is often a moment where a lazy choice or a go cheap choice is made, that never happened with TailorCraft. The subs they used were also terrific, and we will use them again for general maintenance as needed. Our first job was finished on time and our current job looks like it will be too. Costs were reasonable and well explained, their online system for communication keeps all the details in one place and they always return phone calls. Thank you TailorCraft!”
ARDO Contracting, Inc.
Annapolis, MD Design-Build Firms
Feb 2, 2015
“Our architectural firm is one of strong design with a considerable amount of precision and custom details. Ardo Inc. continues to be capable of delivering to our high standards. We have worked with them for at least the past decade and find them to be a very talented group of people; both in the office as well as on the job site. This is why we bring them into our projects! ~ Wendy K Peters, Thomas Clark Architect.”
Lundberg Builders, Inc.
Annapolis, MD Design-Build Firms
Apr 1, 2014
“We recently used Lundberg Builders to perform major restoration on our home, including completion renovation of three bathrooms, replacement of 60+ windows, extensive electrical work, house wide hardware installation, and painting of the interior, among other items. At all times they have been communicative, neat, punctual, and perform their work per our specifications. Our foreman, Chuck Chambers, has in particular done an excellent job making sure that all details are attended to. Based on their work, we intend to use them again for several pending major projects, and have no hesitation recommending them to a discriminating homeowner interested in excellent craftsmanship and accountability.”

What is a design-build firm?


Design-build firms take on the responsibilities of architects, contractors and construction companies, all under one roof. These full-service firms focus on a streamlined design-build process — from the initial design to the estimating phase to physical construction — in the hope of creating an efficient experience for both the client and the company. Because the entire project is happening within one company, Annapolis design-build firms are able to overlap the design and construction phases of the project, which often speeds up the project significantly. In addition, these firms work to minimize risks for the project owner through single-point responsibility contracts. However, depending on the firm, you may still want to contact an interior designer or architect to help create the exact look you want. Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of design-build firms: Interior Designers & Decorators, Landscape Architects & Landscape Designers, Architects & Building Designers, Photographers.

Before deciding on a residential design-and-build company in Annapolis, MD, think about what you want from your new home. Do you want a large kitchen for entertaining? Do you need several bedrooms for children and guests? Do you want a finished basement for extra space or storage? Look for Annapolis design-builders that specialize in the areas you're looking for. Budget is obviously a determining factor in the outcome of your project. To make sure you stay within your means, consider making a must-have list and a wish list. Gauge where the estimates are falling to determine which design-build contract can realistically strike the balance between the two.

Questions to ask a prospective Annapolis design-builder:


  • How long have you been in the design-build construction business?
  • How many projects like mine have you completed?
  • Who will be working on the project?
  • Are the workers employees or subcontractors?
  • Can you provide me with references?
  • Who is your designer, and what are his or her qualifications?
  • Are your employees licensed and insured?
  • How do you charge, and what does that include?
  • Can you give me a written estimate?
  • What do your services include?
  • When can this job get done?
  • What happens when cost exceeds the budget? What about changes to materials or labor pricing?
  • What will I need to provide?
  • Are there any important considerations or concerns you foresee with this project?
