Boss Design Center
Multigenerational Home Builders in Washington D.C.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 30, 2017
“Awesome experience from our first meeting with Tyler to the completion of the job. His workers were punctual and meticulously clean. They cleaned up everyday, always made sure where we wanted placement of bars, bench and racks. This remodeling job was painless, I would recommend Boss Design Center to everyone. Great experience”

Multigenerational Home Builders in Washington D.C.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 30, 2012
“I had the pleasure of hiring Finecraft for a project recently that called for the addition of an outdoor living area to my home. The level of detail and commitment to quality was unsurpassed. These are Craftsmen, not contractors. It shows in every project they create. JF Homeowner”
Landis Architects | Builders
Multigenerational Home Builders in Washington D.C.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 26, 2012
“Landis is simply, the cream of the crop, I'm qualified to say it. I know it because I've had Landis come three times now, since 2007, have seen the quality of the work they do, but just as importantly, the excellence they show by bringing the client/s into the process, every step of the way. When you work with a design build firm, you have the benefit of working with those who understand today's current costs. Unlike architects who have seasoned understanding, a design build firm knows what wallboard costs this week. With computer assisted design, you can get under the hood with designers and try something here, or move something there. Great fun, they 'let you drive' sometime, you're part of an evolutionary decision process. No need for 'change orders' if you were there at the planning. With each of three projects, Landis had to go through the county historic board. Much of it is prior experience with them, telephone contact, but Landis actually showed up to the evening board hearing...I did not. Shows their level of excellence. It's pathfinding for Landis and for Historic itself, dealing with top drawer professionalism. With this current project, Landis designed the deck that translated perfectly from what I stated, I.e., good design and sturdy. Rather than worry that 'this fella who works from the back of the truck' is doing it right, Landis has given methodical attention and has had inspections as the permitting requires. The stairs have three stringers, the previous deck staircase had but two, and the stairs wobbled in a short time. Landis is an asset to the DC Metro area. On the 2007 project, I learned from the electricians and plumber....they want to work with Landis. As for why, I guessed right....Landis is above board, keeps tight timelines, streamlines so nobody shows up only to have to wait around. Plus, they're just fun to work with, knowledge aside. Told them, it's like having brothers-in-law in the trades and not having to buy the beer.”
Synergy Design & Construction
Multigenerational Home Builders in Washington D.C.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 29, 2013
“Synergy's attention to detail has been outstanding throughout the planning phase of our renovation. Synergy's design team exceeded our expectations and as demolition has now begun we eagerly await the construction phase. We have every confidence that Synergy's team will once again wow us. Update: Our Kitchen/Great Room renovation is complete and Synergy's design and construction teams absolutely blew us away with their attention to detail and customer service. To be fair, it is not possible to completely convey our level of satisfaction in a short review. When is the last time you worked with a team of professionals whose standards for excellence exceed your own? Without fail, when we would raise a potential issue with Synergy we would find out they had already noticed it and created a plan to address it. Think about that for a moment, not push back, not an attempt to avoid extra work by saying there is no issue. Instead, reassurance that they are holding themselves to a standard that is higher than your own. Simply put, that never happens. Yet with Synergy it is just the way they work. When their level of craftsmanship (which is nothing short of uniformly excellent) is married with Synergy's ability to design and deliver breathtaking spaces, the result redefines what renovating can and should be. We could not be more satisfied and impressed with our new Kitchen/Great Room. Synergy gets our highest possible recommendation on all facets of design and construction.”
Zwingelberg & Son Remodeling
Multigenerational Home Builders in Washington D.C.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 7, 2018
“I've been using Zwingelberg for 15 years to renovate houses and the appraisers and agents always compliment the quality of the work. Shane stands by his work and is happy to address any concerns the new buyer may have. Get them booked before someone else does.”
Spectrum Design + Build
Multigenerational Home Builders in Washington D.C.
Average rating: 4 out of 5 starsNovember 21, 2014
“Spectrum has done a full bathroom and basement renovation for us, in addition to several smaller projects including replacing all the exterior doors to the house and refinishing our front porch. The quality of the work is excellent. Communicating for the purpose of planning and providing feedback is easy due to their rapid response and liberal use of email and cell contact. They responded well to feedback regarding the work site when we had complaints about dust and so forth. The quality of their work holds up; our bathroom completed in 2008 continues to be in terrific condition. They were described by the person who referred them, an architect, very accurately. "They're not the cheapest, but they're the best." I highly recommend them.”
Anthony Wilder Design/Build, Inc.
Multigenerational Home Builders in Washington D.C.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 11, 2013
“We inherited a 1970's "avocado green" galley kitchen. We did the best we could with simple homeowner improvements (replaced appliances, etc) but finally had to do a remodel. After interviewing several design/build firm, with went with Anthony Wilder. They created a design within our budget, and made some important safety upgrades that previous contractors had done incorrectly. We took out an interior wall and bumped out the back wall. We bought new high-end applicances, custom cabinets and installed hardwood floors. We also added a lovely back patio. The AWDB employees supervised every step of the remodel and made sure we were 100% satisfied. We love our new kitchen! It's been over 2 years and we still get compliments on its design and its beauty. Best of all, the total design and craftsmanship has greatly increased the value of our home.”
Bowers Design Build
Multigenerational Home Builders in Washington D.C.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 20, 2013
“I have worked for several years with the owners and designers at Bowers Design Build. In the course of my work as an architectural photographer, I have met hundreds of homeowners who have worked with dozens of builders. As I work in their homes (photographing them for Bruce and Wilma) I constantly hear how easy they are to work with, how responsive they are to their clients' needs, and how completely satisfied they are with the whole experience of having the Bowers' firm do their project. I am always happy to photograph another award-winning Bowers project because quality work makes for quality photography, and that works for me.”
NGage Properties Group
Multigenerational Home Builders in Washington D.C.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 9, 2021
“After meeting Nicole, I realized that I’ve watched to much HGTV. It takes longer than an hour to put a large addition onto your 81 year old home. Nicole has a great sense of style. Nicole’s suggestions were on point and she was very patient explaining everything to my 80 year old mother. The project took longer than expected due to COVID but the end result was worth the wait. I would definitely recommend NGAGE Properties Group for any home improvement or design project. This is my second home requiring renovations. Her work and customer service is phenomenal; 2nd to none.”
Hammer Design Build Remodel
Multigenerational Home Builders in Washington D.C.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 19, 2013
“Greg from Hammer Contractors was one of the best I've worked with. We have not actually started the work yet, but he gave great information and outlined the steps involved in getting it done. He was punctual, and always followed up with an email to check the status of my talks with the bank. He was always respectful and actually listened to us. We will definitely be working with him again.”

Design-Build Contractor FAQs
The duration of a multigenerational home project varies based on the projectʼs scope, complexity, and size. Generally, designing and building a custom multigenerational home can take anywhere from 10 to 18 months from initial consultation to completion. Projects involving significant modifications to existing homes may have shorter timelines. Early engagement with a builder to establish a realistic timeline is crucial for planning purposes.
Material and design trend selection is a collaborative process that considers durability, maintenance, sustainability, and aesthetics suitable for all ages. Multigenerational Home Builders often recommend materials and designs that offer long-term value, are environmentally friendly, and can be easily adapted or updated. They stay informed on the latest trends and innovations in home design to suggest options that blend style with functionality, ensuring the home remains modern and accommodating for years to come.
Homeowners should start by defining their familyʼs needs, preferences, and budget. Researching local zoning laws and restrictions is essential to ensure the planned project is feasible. Gathering inspiration for design and functionality can help communicate your vision to the builder. Additionally, having an open dialogue about expectations and roles among family members will facilitate smoother decision-making during the building process.
Builders address challenges such as privacy concerns, differing design tastes, and budget constraints by engaging in thorough planning and communication from the outset. They employ creative design solutions to ensure private spaces for each family unit while optimizing communal areas. Transparent, regular communication helps manage expectations and mitigate conflicts. Builders also work closely with homeowners to navigate budget constraints, offering alternatives that align with the projectʼs goals without compromising quality.
Accessibility considerations include ensuring that the home can accommodate family members with mobility challenges. This includes incorporating features like wider doorways, no-step entries, bedroom and full bathroom on the main level, and potentially installing assistive devices like stairlifts or elevators. Multigenerational Home Builders can advise on universal design principles that make the home accessible and comfortable for all ages and abilities.
To keep a multigenerational home project on budget, clear and detailed communication with your builder about financial limits from the start is vital. Request a comprehensive, itemized quote to understand all potential costs. Regularly review expenditures and progress with the builder to ensure the project remains aligned with the budget.
