Featured Reviews for New & Custom Home Builders in Alexandria

Horizon Building Corporation
New & Custom Home Builders in Alexandria
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 19, 2023
“Between 2002 and 2003, Michael Ipsan/Horizon took a small 1,800 square foot circa 1942 farmhouse and integrated an addition that more than tripled the size of the house and resulted in a beautiful contemporary farmhouse, with upgrades to plumbing, electrical, windows and siding in the original part of the house. The integration was seamless and the project came in on-time and on-budget, with wonderful workmanship. While we had retained an architect for the overall design, Michael made many useful suggestions on tweaks to the design that significantly improved the outcome. The kitchen and pantry were recognized by HGTV in their American Home 2005 show, and in 2008 the house was recognized with a spot on the Historic Garden Week in Virginia tour, both testaments to the quality of the construction. We've had other friends who've had nightmare construction projects with other builders; our experience was exactly the opposite. Warranty issues were minor, and Horizon has stood behind the construction even to this day. In the years since it was completed we've been happy to have Michael walk other prospective clients through the house to see what was done, which speaks to our respect for his work and honesty. We can highly recommend Horizon to anyone considering a custom home builder.”
Mid-Atlantic Custom Builders
New & Custom Home Builders in Alexandria
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 7, 2016
“I bought a home from Mid Atlantic about 6 months ago and I couldn't be happier. They built a quality home that suits my family perfectly. I am a local Realtor and see comparable homes often, nothing compares to the home I purchased. The best part about it is that if something needed adjustment or repair, Mid Atlantic was on top of it right away to make sure everything was working properly and that we were happy. Well done Mid Atlantic.”

Alair Homes Arlington
New & Custom Home Builders in Alexandria
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 14, 2013
“In the past we used a design/build company and did not feel that we had control over the process or the budget. When we reviewed the bill we found the mark-up was excessive, especially when sub-contractors were used for most of the work. This time around we chose to use Chad with Arlington Construction Mangement because of the ability to control expenses, choose the products used in building our addition and select our own sub-contractors. The ability to get several estimates and meet the subs for each trade beforehand made a huge difference in our experience. We completed our project 2 months earlier than predicted and were able to stay within budget. We ended up saving 28% from our lowest bid and we were able to use upgraded products along the way. Chad gave us great advice, support and knowledge to help us through our project. I know we would not have received the same personal service from any other builder. We would use Chad again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking into building.”
Ziberty
New & Custom Home Builders in Alexandria
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 7, 2017
“Ziberty renovated my house, and I had a great experience! I was on a tight timeline, and they quickly digested what I wanted and started right away. I was really pleased that they finished on budget and ahead of schedule. They took our trust in them seriously, and truly cared about our project from start to finish. I give them the highest recommendation for excellent workmanship and outstanding responsiveness.”
Natelli Homes
New & Custom Home Builders in Alexandria
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 24, 2014
“We bought a tear down and had Natelli Homes build a custom home. All of the employees are very easy to work with and handled the project with ease. The house was completed exactly on time and I couldn't be happier with the quality of work that was provided.”
Zimmermann Homes
New & Custom Home Builders in Alexandria
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 10, 2017
“It is with great enthusiasm that we write this letter of recommendation in support of Zimmermann Homes. We found our new 6 bedroom Falls Church, VA home after it was completed, but Rob worked with us to add customizations that turned an already well-built and well-designed home into one that reflected our preferences and needs. Having toured many new construction homes in the Falls Church area, I can attest to the build quality and tasteful design choices implemented by Rob and his team. Zimmerman Homes exceeded the level of service and satisfaction we were expecting, and delivered a home at a tremendous value that I have not encountered anywhere in this in-demand area. The community this house was built in is outstanding and my family is excited about our upcoming move-in. Thanks Rob and Team!”
Wakefield Homes, LC
New & Custom Home Builders in Alexandria
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 26, 2015
“We have a 20 year relationship with Wakefield. They built our house 20 years ago. We hired them to do a major remodel 2 years ago. Plus we hired them to design build a 4 car garage/carriage house last year. All the work was excellent but the best thing about them is they stand by their work. We discovered an issue with the house 18 years after it was built. They reviewed the issue, determined it was a workmanship issue, and corrected it at no cost. Due to the time lapse they had no obligation to do the correction but they stepped up anyway.”
PACE Design & Construction
New & Custom Home Builders in Alexandria
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 21, 2022
“PACE is a one of a kind design + build firm. I just can’t say enough good things about them! First off, they do great work and do it in a very transparent and fair way. The customer service is off the charts, the quality of their craftsmanship is incredible, and the overall experience of working with true professionals in the building and remodeling industry is so valuable to the success of a project. Between Seth, Jordan, Terris, Yuri, Brad and the rest of the crew, you won’t be sorry to have chosen this company for your next Project. Thanks for everything!!”
