Get matched with top home builders in Ashton, MD

"As with a lot of homeowners, we were scared stiff about starting a home remodeling project after all of the horror stories we had heard from friends. We were pushed off the edge by a master shower that stopped working and could not be repaired without tearing up the walls. We dove in after reading great reviews about VKB and totally lucked out by getting matched up with Calvin when we walked into the store. From start to finish this has been an amazing experience starting with the design phase, to demolition, construction, and final walk through. Calvin was perfect for us. He first asked us to collect pictures of bathrooms while he took meticulous measurements of our space. He then held our hands through what he called an “organic process” of designing our dream bath. What was really fantastic was when we had to choose tile, he walked us next door to the humongous tile store (where he was previously the store manager!) and smoothly guided us through one of the hardest choices to make with the perfect recommendations. The project was then handed to Al, the construction manager, and again we totally lucked out. I highly recommend this team of Calvin and Al. The construction phase went super smoothly. The workers are extremely clean and respectful. Everyday they lay down clean tarps and cover the carpet they are walking on with sticky plastic sheets. (We have white carpet upstairs and after they were done and a quick vacuum it is absolutely good as new!) Demo day was painless, no dumpster... just hand carried away in a truck. Construction happened pretty much daily from 8-4. We didn’t have to be home when the team was here and we felt absolutely comfortable leaving them home unsupervised. I am an orthopedic surgeon so I’m very precise about measurements. Each night I would sneak into the bathroom and measure everything, and I’m telling you all of the measurements were spot on! Also of note, they taped up two plastic sheet barrier walls between the master bedroom and bath which left the bedroom perfectly clean and livable with zero dust. We slept in our own master bed during the whole master bath remodel. In the end the project took one week longer than expected (this happened over Xmas holiday) and right on budget with no HGTV surprises. Al kept in close touch throughout the project and would text back immediately whenever we texted him with a question. Jose was also incredible during the entire remodel. We absolutely love our new bathroom and we honestly can’t think of any choice that we would change looking back. After this fantastic experience we are already planning our kitchen remodel with VKB next year. I will absolutely insist on my same team of Calvin, Al, and Jose. I have no fear of my next remodeling project"

"Excellent. The workmanship was superior, and the time it took to finish all renovations was minimal. A, B, & C should be at the top of everyone's list for overall home remodeling."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Tommy and Bent Palm team for a new deck and patio installation, and I couldnâ t be happier with the outcome. I was originally looking for a comfortable outdoor space, especially now that my job transitioned from office to home. Tommy and his team always arrived on time, and what I really appreciated was how neat and tidy everything was throughout the project. The deck has become the perfect spot for my Zoom calls, and Iâ ve received countless compliments on the beautiful craftsmanship. I highly recommend them for anyone looking to upgrade their outdoor space!"

"Howard Shires From American Home Contractors came out to my house today and repaired my roof. He arrived on time and did a great job. I would highly recommend Howard to anyone needing roofing work."

"We hired Green Studio Builders to build a two-story addition on our home. The addition included a master bedroom suite, a kitchen, and a renovation of the existing space to match the new part. We also ended up digging the basement under the addition but have yet to finish it. We interviewed six builders for the job. Chris (owner) was by far the most realistic about time and money. Most were saying the job would take around 4 months. Chris said 6. He finished in 5. Chris does design/build. We already had architectural drawings done in advance but the first step Chris took with us was to improve them. Chris assigned us a foreman, who we had day to day contact with. The communication was great, the workers always respectful and the job site was cleaned up daily. We have two young children and we lived in the house throughout the construction. The team made sure to time the job appropriately to lessen the impact on our lives. For instance, they moved us out of the upstairs and worked up there through completion and then moved us back up there and worked downstairs. When it was time to demolish our existing kitchen we got plenty of warning as they prepped the area and worked with the cabinet makers on the delivery date to leave us as short a time as possible without a kitchen. We were amazed that we were without a kitchen for only three weeks as we have heard horror stories about kitchen renovations from our friends. Chris's team worked six days a week, every week. All of the workers are his employees with the exception of the plumber and the electrician, who were subs that he uses on a regular basis. The process was fairly seamless on our end. They worked with the county for inspections and allowed us the peace of mind to live life as (somewhat) normal for the duration. Another huge perk of GSB is that Chris's wife, Nicoletta, who also works for the company, helps with the interior design. She helped us select tile, paint, and fixtures that would match our style and she has an excellent eye. All in all, we were extremely pleased with the company, the process, and the final product! The work is top notch and we are constantly showing it off to friends (who are equally impressed). We will certainly hire GSB again when we are ready to finish our basement. Chris and Nicoletta are wonderful people and run a top notch company with excellent skills and service.

"We hired Sino-American General Contracting to build a porch for us in 2018. This was the fourth project we hired Mason to design and execute. As has been the case with all of his work, the results were outstanding. The deck is well constructed and beautiful. This is one of the best investments we have ever made. It has extended the living space in our home, allowing us to entertain outside 8-9 months of the year. During the pandemic, we have used the porch every day. Mason, working with an architect, conceived and executed the space with precision. He suggested details along the way that stayed within our budget, but ensured that the final product was exquisite. And, when you work with Mason you never have to worry about projects not being designed to code. He is exacting in his work. As soon as we can, we will hire him again to update an aging bathroom. He has become our go-to contractor for everything."

"When we moved into our new house we had a number of remodeling projects. Josh added on a laundry room in our kitchen and built a large walk-in storage area with shelving. He also installed more efficient lighting fixtures in the living room and storage closet. We have had many compliments on the work from friends who come into our house. Josh was trustworthy, honest, easy to communicate with about the work and punctual in completing work on time. Josh is a creative, skillful and very capable craftsman."

"We had two companies provide estimates (including Jenny's Design Build). Both had high ratings on Angie's List. The two price quotes were very close so we were comfortable that the prices were where they should be. We decided to go with Jenny's because the other company's offering felt like a cookie cutter implementation whereas Dave at Jenny's had some very creative ideas on what could be done with the space we had. The entire design was customized to our tastes and desires. Dave seemed genuinely interested in doing some creative things in the bathroom.
Once we selected Jenny's we met with each of the preferred vendors. This process was a little ponderous as we had to make appointments and find time to get there and make our choices. The people we met with work with Dave on many projects. They were very helpful, especially the tile consultant we met with. Of course, we went slightly over budget on materials but we got exactly what we wanted. When we were not able to find fixtures that we liked in our price range with the recommended vendor, we told Dave that we wanted to get those things on our own. He had no problem with that approach and simply removed it from the estimate.
The work began on time. The same crew worked the demolition and initial build out of the floor and drywall. The team arrived every day around 7:00 AM and was cleaning up by around 3:00 PM. The site was left in good condition every day. The installation went very smoothly for about 4 weeks (which is exactly the time frame we were quoted).
After the final installation was completed, we provided a punch list of things we wanted fixed before we made final payment. Dave and the team worked it off but ran into a few problems with materials at the end. A part needed to be ordered on main shower handle and some tile touch up had to be done around the custom niche in the shower itself. These delayed the final use of the bathroom by another week or so...as the contract stipulated, final payment wasn't made until all that work was finished.

Throughout the process, Dave was very responsive. Although he didn't make it to the site every day, he was always available by phone or email. We would exchange several emails a week during the installation. Whenever I had a question, Dave responded before the day was out, usually within a few hours. We were extremely happy with the work that was performed and have already begun thinking about the next project we want to do next year. Jenny's Design Build will be at the top of our list when we execute."
