We ended up contacting Jim and Courthouse Design/Build after a very disappointing experience with another big design/build firm in the area. We showed Jim the previous plans for our redesign and he immediately identified where they could be improved. He created design plans from scratch and then undertook a comprehensive remodel and reconfiguration of the first level of our NW DC row home, including a completely renovated kitchen, a relocated powder room, new floors, and more. We ended up with a beautiful, sophisticated renovation that made our living space much more functional while preserving the charm and historic character of the home. Jim's team was professional and always provided high-quality work, and communication throughout the process was clear. We highly recommend Courthouse Design/Build!

We have hired Jim Gardiner and Courthouse Design/Build multiple times over the last several decades to perform major renovations, including our master bath and kitchen. More recently, we wanted to upgrade our refrigerator to a new built-in style that required some modifications to the surrounding space, so we called Jim and he and his team were able to help overcome some pesky manufacturer supply issues and challenging dimensions to provide a wonderful new installation.

We have used Jim Gardiner and his team at Courthouse Design/Build for the past four years in renovating the kitchen and three bathrooms in our 1857 Georgetown house and have nothing but good to say about them and their work. Before work began, Jim took the time to sit down with us to determine what we wanted the end result of each project to be and to map out ways to make the completed project meet those goals. An older house always throws up unforeseen difficulties once the work begins, but Jim or his team was always able to come up with some innovative work-around. The actual renovation work was done in a timely and careful manner. Nestor and Eric are top-of-the-line workers and just like Jim, pay close attention to the details and look for ways to improve the final project. We were also very happy with the specialized trades that Jim works with such as plumbers and electricians. Care was taken by all to protect the areas of the house that were not being worked on and everything was clean and organized at the end of every work day. We really cannot say more about how happy we have been with each of these series of projects and after having lived with the results for a few years continue to be quite happy.

We contracted Courthouse Design/Build to thoroughly redesign and renovate our downstairs living area, to include a custom bar and wine storage area, not to mention various other upgrades, including a multi-level lighting overhaul as well as exterior stone work. Their work was top notch. Jim Gardiner provided some unique design ideas that elevated our original concept for the project. Jim's teams are all professional and produce high quality results. Our new living space has transformed how we enjoy our home and we could not be happier with it!

We live in a highrise condominium building in the Rosslyn section of Arlington, VA. In 2013, we hired Jim Gardiner of Courthouse Design/Build to fully renovate our kitchen, and Jim’s team did a wonderful job. Over the last several years, we returned to Jim and his skilled team at Courthouse Design/Build to execute a dramatic, phased makeover of the full remainder of our 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo unit, including our large interior balcony. The results have been spectacular, and we could not be more pleased. Jim and his team are experts at working in the highrise environment, and their interface with our building facilities and management team went smoothly in all regards. Our balcony, living spaces and bathrooms are now fabulous. Jim’s team handled everything, even including all new lighting, furniture and decorating, and the final product has been absolutely transformative for how we enjoy our home.

Jim Gardiner and his team did everything, from soup to nuts, with excellent taste and the highest standards of craftsmanship and professionalism. The design and renovation covered all of my first floor living area, from the entertainment center and built-in book shelves to the bar, living room, and family room, including paint, flooring, and lighting. They even resolved a structural problem I had with my porch stairs and decking. Once work began it was done quickly and efficiently.

Jim and his team redesigned and renovated much of our main floor - bathroom, main bedroom, and hallway - with a number of clever ( and beautiful) changes that made it exceptional.

We hired Jim’s team at Courthouse Design/Build to design and build out an altogether new master suite, upstairs hallway and stairs in our Arlington Cape Cod, with the work involving major structural improvements and alterations. Not only was the work product excellent but every night our work site was cleaned thoroughly and without exception. We will hire Jim and his crew again!

Courthouse Design recently remodeled my kitchen, and did various exterior roofing work, and did a beautiful job. They were skilled, so professional and always easy to work with. From choosing materials, to construction and finishing work Jim Gardiner's team was extraordinary. I couldn't be happier with my new kitchen.

THRILLED with the team at Courthouse Design/Build and the finished project. Jim and his crew were honest, communicative, always on time, CLEAN, kind, professional, highly skilled and creative, well-connected with other vendors/subcontractor, and cared for our home at every stage of the project. We would not hesitate to work with them again.

We had an outdated 20+ year old kitchen and adjacent powder room that we wanted to totally reconfigure. Jim did an excellent job with his knowledge and attention to detail. He and his staff and crew did a great job of building out the design. And a couple years prior to that Courthouse redid an old upstairs typical Arlington post-war era bathroom with great results.

We live in a high-rise condominium in McLean and hired Courthouse Design/Build to re-design, reconfigure and remodel our master and hall bathrooms, our foyer, and to upgrade various doors throughout our condominium. Jim Gardiner and his staff got the job because of their unique design ideas and the quality of their work. We are very pleased with the results. The pricing was fair and we received excellent value for our investment.

Commented: Stove hoodIt is custom. We can make it any way you like. In all wood, it starts around $8000. With copper, it would be at least $12,000, all depending on size and details. Thank you for your interest.
