Earthquake Retrofitting Contractors in Washington D.C.

“I used ACS Construction to renovate my basement (utility and laundry rooms, storage...). I was extremely pleased by the organisation of construction activities, the end product and follow-up. ACS employs staff who are at the same time licensed for plumbing (water and gas), electrical, and carpentry/drywall simplifying the coordination between various trades. Plumbing and electrical works were independently inspected before closing. ACS price was competitive and dealing with German, ACS owner, and his staff was very pleasant. I would not hesitate to recommend him for renovation projects.”

“We had our bathroom completely gutted and remodeled in December 2011 by Wall to Wall Construction, and we are extremely pleased about the quality of this company’s work and the professionalism of its owner/employees. In November of 2011 we had a leak in the kitchen ceiling, which is situated below the upstairs bathroom. We called out a plumber to investigate and it turned out that the leak was coming from the bathroom shower above. We were already considering remodeling our bathroom, and this leak prompted us to proceed with the job since we figured we would have to tear up the bathroom floor to fix the leak. We used Wall to Wall Construction for our wood floor installation in 2010 and based on that enjoyable experience, they were the company we wanted to complete this task. We spoke with company owner, Angel, in detail about our options and preferences with the bathroom remodel. Angel was extremely helpful, offering his advice and suggestions to us. Most importantly, he imparts trust when he speaks…a real honest broker. After getting an estimate from Angel and signing a contract, the work began. The first task was to completely gut the bathroom, which included ripping up the floor tiles; Angel and his crew worked quickly and efficiently. Angel immediately alerted us to some underlying issues, including the source of our leak. It turned out that the old shower had been leaking so badly that the floorboard was severely rotted. In addition, the shower tiles had been fitted directly onto drywall – perhaps a cost cutting exercise when the house was built? (Our house was built in 1992). Angel and his men ripped out the old drywall in the shower, replacing it with the proper materials. They also replaced the rotted floorboard. The bathroom floor was then prepped for the new floor tiles to be fitted. Afterwards, the bathroom was now ready for the installation of the new fixtures and fittings. Angel advised us to go with a tiled shower floor, and we are extremely pleased that we went this route (both aesthetically and quality). Angel’s tile fitter did a fantastic job, and all of the tile work (bathroom floor, shower floor, and shower walls) was completed at a high level of quality. Angel’s plumber and electrician also worked had their part in our bathroom renovation, and both jobs were professionally done. The bathroom was then painted by Angel’s painter in the color we chose, and the end result was fantastic! Finally, the fixtures were installed (vanity, toilet, shower fixtures, sink fixtures, light fixture). After this, we just had one remaining piece before completion…installing a new medicine cabinet. However, our previous cabinet was inserted into our wall and was an odd measurement… meaning that we could not find a replacement that was suitable to our new, beautiful bathroom. Once again, Angel came to our rescue! Angel custom-built a wooden cabinet for us; and it is one of our favorite features of the bathroom.”

“Andy's first project was our back deck in 2021. His attention to detail, pride, and craftsmanship in the job, made it an easy decision that we would hire him again. We did glass panel railings and added gorgeous lighting. About a year later we hired him to renovate 2 bathrooms. He guided us to a great local cabinet and local tile company he has worked with for years. Both companies that apply the same level of detail as him. He always adds a creative touch that improves the functionality, and was willing to work with my creative ideas too. In my kids bathroom, we put a lot of thought into getting the right placement for shelving in the shower and we have a motion-sensored under vanity lighting (to light the floor) to act as a night light. Every time I walk in the bathroom I think it just looks stunning. We will definitely hire Andy for future projects.”

“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”

“A friend of mine referred this company to paint my deck. I was impressed with the timing and their work ethic. I am looking forward to them doing some projects in my house this winter!”

“As I began my search for a contractor to do some major renovations on my house, I found the task a bit daunting to say the least. I set aside a couple of days from work and spent them interviewing potential contractors. Nearing the end of the second day, I still hadn’t found someone I was totally sold on, then in walked Kurt Ozbey. I immediately knew he was the one I wanted working on my house. He has a very easy manner and I trusted him from the start. He told me he only does one job at a time and would be at my house every day until it was finished. And that is exactly what he did. Not only is he professional and reliable, he did a fabulous job. I live in a very old house in Georgetown: he knew how to work around all the problems that entails. This was no small job. Kurt and team, completely renovated my kitchen, bathroom, built two closets, replaced three windows, a door and put a toilet in my basement. I now have a brand new house. Without hesitation, I would recommend Masters for any job you are considering. I had a fantastic experience working with Kurt and I can honestly say, I don’t know anyone who talks about their contractor like I do.”

“I want a new look of my kitchen, and they were amazing work done. I just love the result. They are very professional and very polite behavior throughout the process... Thank you so much”

“So thrilled with the services Workman Builders provided. I originally used Workman Builders for my kitchen remodel, I was so happy with their quality of work, attention to detail, and customer service that I used them again for my bathroom remodels. Always a pleasure to work with this company.”

“Saul help me with various projects throughout my house. He is reasonably price and very detailed oriented. I'm currently planning other remodeling projects with him. I highly recommend his services.”

“We hired Choice at the recommendation of a neighbor and were extremely pleased! Not only did they complete repairs on our siding and windows, they came in on budget and a day early. A great result from a great company - thank you!”
