“We were a little bit nervous before building our house. Viking really did a good job and made the building process very smoothly. Cary is very knowledgeable about constructions. We recommended his company to several friends.”
Mid-Atlantic Custom Builders
District Of Columbia Home Builders
Jun 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.”

“Constructed my custom build house. Very friendly & detail oriented. Assisted in each step of the selection process and provided the best value based advice.”
Mitchell & Best Homes
District Of Columbia Home Builders
Feb 3, 2015
“My wife and I purchased a new spec home from Mitchell & Best and we are thrilled with the quality and attention to detail. The house is amazingly tight, we had a gas line that was damaged during some construction on the street and were without gas for 5 hours. It was below 30 degrees and windy and during the 5 hours the house temp dropped 3 degrees from 72 down to 69. I highly recommend this builder.”
Glass Construction
District Of Columbia Home Builders
Mar 12, 2015
“Tom Glass and his team transformed a small, neighborhood, derelict Beaux Arts bank building into the most incredible residence - on-time and on-budget. Given my hectic work schedule, I had little time to baby-sit the project. Tom, Mike Hauptman (my architect), and I developed a system of communication in which we regularly discussed issues and made decisions as a trio, thereby avoiding any mixed messages and conflicting directions. With any adaptive reuse project, there were unexpected issues and problems that arose during construction; Tom and his team were great (really great!) problem-solvers. The neighbors even commented that Tom and his team were respectful and kept the noise and mess to a minimum. They were (and still are) polite, respectful, and a pleasure. It was a wonderful experience - unlike my two previous, similar projects. Twenty years later, my house still looks new - both in terms of design and construction/workmanship. For example, as can be seen in the photographs, there was extensive and elegant use of industrial materials such as stone and exposed structural steel. The quality of design and workmanship continue to attract the attention of the print, online, and TV media; at latest count, my house has been "published" 20 times winning the National Association of Home Builders Project of the Year in 1995 and being published twice in Architectural Digest (see, especially, the February 1996 issue). And Tom and I are still good friends. Obviously, I am a huge fan.”

Hanlon Design Build, Inc.
District Of Columbia Home Builders
Aug 30, 2014
“We had been trying to find a contractor with the same vision as we had for the house, a small row house in upper Georgetown, Washington, DC. We interviewed 5 or 6 firms before Hanlon Design Build was recommended to us. After the first meeting with Chryssa Wolfe we knew it was the right fit and we have never looked back. The house was completely gutted and all new electrical and plumbing systems installed. On the first floor a porch was converted into a family room and a new dining room, powder room, butlers pantry, mud room and deck was added and the kitchen renovated into a dream. A tenant apartment was put into the basement and a second master suite and study was added on the second floor. In the front a new porch and stone work was added, transforming the whole project. They delivered to us a home that was beyond our expectations, stayed right on budget to the penny and delivered it back to us on time - that is much more than can be said for a typical general contractor. Hanlon Design Build is not your average contractor, it is a group of caring craftsmen who take pride in their work and make your home a reality. For this we can never thank them enough!”

What do new home builders do?


For DC Metro residential home builders who also act as developers, the job starts well before the first nail is driven. They perform local market research to determine whether the prospective homesites make sense in the District Of Columbia market, as well as survey the land on which the house will be built to make sure it is suitable for construction. Custom builders also obtain the necessary permits.

A good custom home builder in District Of Columbia has skills that go far beyond construction — he or she must supervise subcontractors and artisans; keep tabs on local zoning regulations, building codes and other legalities; inspect work for problems along the way; and perform dozens of other roles that are essential in building a quality house. Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of home builders: Interior Designers & Decorators, Landscape Architects & Landscape Designers, Architects & Building Designers, Kitchen & Bath Designers, Specialty Contractors.

House builders are responsible for ensuring that the home-building project sticks as closely as possible to the specified timetable, particularly in the event of change orders. Custom and luxury home builders in District Of Columbia also need interpersonal skills to deal with clients of all types, soothe frazzled nerves, negotiate conflicts and resolve problems.

Questions to ask a prospective custom home builder in District Of Columbia:


  • How long have you been in the home building 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?
  • May I see a current jobsite?
  • Can you give me the addresses of some houses you have built?
  • Are you and your employees licensed and insured?
  • What license(s) do you have?
  • What other training and affiliations do you have?
  • How do you charge, and what does that include?
  • Can you give me a written estimate?
  • What do your services include?
  • How will I be charged for parts and materials?
  • When can your job get done?
  • What is your policy for change orders?
  • What happens when the 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?
