Featured Reviews for Fort Washington, MD Home Builders

The North Star Companies LLC

Fort Washington, MD Home Builders

October 23, 2015

“The contractor was very knowledgeable and experienced in replacing of my front porch. The job was done in a professional and timely manner within a reasonable budget. Also, this contractor was hired again in August 2015 for addition work. Planning to hire this contractor again in 2016.”

Alair Homes Arlington

Fort Washington, MD Home Builders

July 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.”

Mid-Atlantic Custom Builders

Fort Washington, MD Home Builders

June 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.”

Westbrooke Homes

Fort Washington, MD Home Builders

March 18, 2014

“Awesome builder who pays attention to detail and listens with an open mind to the consumer. He keeps up with current trends and "hot button items" in homes, he is open to changes and very creative with the plans that he offers. Great to work with. If you want a true customized home, this is your builder!”

Cherry Hill Custom Homes

Fort Washington, MD Home Builders

September 5, 2012

“Cherry Hill Cabinetry designed our stunning kitchen in our new home! Meredith was fantastic and executed every detail flawlessly. We were able to achieve exactly what we wanted in our dream kitchen. Meredith took into account every drawer and cabinet to meet our needs - including a glass front china cabinet and appliance garage. Cherry Hill offered superior customer service, patience, orientation to detail, ability to stay within our budget, creative ideas, and unique solutions. We would HIGHLY recommend them!!”

Timberlake Design Build

Fort Washington, MD Home Builders

August 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.”

Laurence Cafritz Builders

Fort Washington, MD Home Builders

May 3, 2016

“Laurence Cafritz Builders is one of the very finest home builders in the entire DC metro area. I've worked with Larry for years, and his attention to detail and craftsmanship, combined with his absolute integrity and commitment to customer service, put him at the very top of anyone's list. As my father-in-law would say, "Larry's a stand-up guy". I whole-heartedly recommend Larry and his company! You will have a wonderful experience, and an awesome house!”

Wakefield Homes, LC

Fort Washington, MD Home Builders

May 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.”

Cabin John Builders

Fort Washington, MD Home Builders

June 27, 2012

“Cabin John Builders was absolutely amazing to work with on the remodel of our entire basement. It was such a pleasure to design the space with them and then watch them execute each step with perfectionism and grace. We couldn’t ask for more personal attention and friendly service. Our basement is everything we had hoped for and our children will be thanking CJB for many years to come! We certainly wouldn’t hesitate to use them again for future projects. We have definitely found our preferred builder! Thank you so much Josh and Neal. You rock!!!”

AV Architects + Builders

Fort Washington, MD Home Builders

January 14, 2013

“I am a designer for a custom closet company. I have been working with Francisca Alonso of AV Architects on various projects since 2006. I love collaborating with her because she is extremely easy to work with and the projects always go very smoothly. I HIGHLY recommend Francisca Alonso and AV Architects. They do some amazing renovations and are a fantastic company to deal with.”
