DIGGIAN RENOVATION INC

Work needed to be redone and they would not respond. Very expensive considering the quality. Have had issues since the installation was done.

The teams who came out were friendly, professional and kept the dust and mess to a minimum. The work was completed on-budget and when promised.

He was just excellent! He does not commit to the job until he has the time to do it. I consider him a high quality carpenter. My friends have used his services as well.

The team did an awesome job! They worked what seemed to be non-stop for almost six weeks to get our house ready to move into. They timed it perfectly to be done with a lot of the major work while our cabinets were being made. First, Dave came out and provided an estimate. Although it was not the cheapest estimate we received, we just had a good feeling about working with him. He was very responsive and detailed in his estimate, while others kind of half-assed it. His price came in the middle between a well-known local contracting company and another general contractor. About a week after we agreed to go with Dave and his team, they got started with the demo of our old kitchen. Dave brought in a structural engineer to assess how much of the walls between our kitchen/dining/living rooms could be removed (luckily, all of them were able to go). After the walls and old linoleum flooring were out (I believe he said there were multiple layers of flooring), Dave and his electrical team roughed in the electric for the new kitchen arrangements, and then his flooring team toothed in hardwood to match the rest of the house. The flooring team let me choose multiple stain colors to sample on my floor to see how they looked so that I could choose the one that looked best in the lighting. Then they stained and sealed the floors. Then, the electrical team came back and installed all of the lighting (recessed lighting in ceiling on a dimmer, under cabinet lighting, and pendant lighting above the new island) and outlets. For our cabinets, Dave referred us to Larry Miller at National Lumber, who was also very pleasant to work with. We chose our cabinets and as soon as they arrived, Dave and Tommy installed them. As soon as they were in, the counters and plumbing were installed. We were out of town while they were finishing up the plumbing, which was the last part of the job. When we got back, we were very pleased to see how clean they left everything and that everything looked so great. I would definitely consider calling Dave for future projects (you should, too)!

Our galley kitchen was a patchwork of DIY efforts over several decades that resulted in a dark, unattractive kitchen that never looked exactly clean. Dave Dagdigian fully discussed the possibilities and processes with us from the first visit through completion. We chose not to use a kitchen designer, and so did the research and made selections on our own, with Dave suggesting local suppliers we might use. (Please note that appliances, backsplash, cabinets, and pendant lights were not included in the cost above.) We decided to have the drop ceiling, existing cabinets, lighting, and layers of previous flooring all removed and replaced, and a new counter-height opening created between the kitchen and the dining room. We replaced all the appliances except the refrigerator (and most importantly, added a dishwasher). This represented a major renovation in a small space in a narrow rowhouse without a driveway, so there were challenges, to say the least. Dave and his whole team were professional, cheerful experts who consulted with us on decisions, answered all of our questions, and did excellent, exacting work. While the necessary noise and dust of a renovation is always a headache, the experience of working with Diggian Renovation was a pleasure. Even our neighbors were impressed with their thorough site clean-up and polite and friendly attitudes. Our kitchen has been transformed visually and turned into a place that you actually want to be. The opening up of the wall into the dining room created additional countertop area with seating on the dining-room side that has joined the two rooms in a way that allows for casual dining and entertainment possibilities. Sometimes we just sit there and admire it! Actual price is $28k for kitchen renovation. Not included; lighting and appliances and cabinets and backsplash.

completed work within the proposed time frame. I highly recommend. You

We contacted this provider to do an estimate on an unfinished basement bathroom(minimal $15,000.00) and a front door with transom (minimum $4000.00). He came to our home and offered his ideas and general ideas about potential pricing. We were shocked by the estimated cost of gutting the bathroom, replacing it and replacing a front door. After receiving the estimate, we contacted him and advised that we wanted to work with him, but found his estimate to be the highest bid and wondered what he could do. He told us to go ahead and utilize the other person since he could deliver the job at a lower price. The person seemed knowledgeable of his craft, but unable to edit proposed plans to accommodate our interests in variations that we hoped would lower the proposed estimate. Perhaps the person does a great job, we never found out, but we did notice that he appeared to be focused on one way of doing things and if you saw that specific vision, you were more likely to be (chosen) for the jackpot of hiring his company. Not trying to downgrade him, he seemed like a nice knowledgeable fellow who wanted to do the best job for you, but just calling it as we experienced it.

They did an excellent job, they did it on time and on budget, we were very happy, Dave and his team did an excellent job and we would use him again for future projects. They were neat, professional and the total project took about 8 weeks and he was very helpfull with all aspects of getting what we wanted done.

We are very pleased with the work performed and the professionalism of the team. They treated our house like it was their own, making sure everything was covered while they were working and cleaning up every day. The team always arrived on time, and Dave explained to me each day what was taking place that day. Without a doubt, we would definitely recommend Diggian Renovation.

We could not be happier with the quality of work performed and the professionalism and care of the Diggian team. We had them replace windows and siding on the front of the house, above a wrap-around porch on an 1880 Queen Anne Victorian home in Hampden (Baltimore City). It's a unique home in the neighborhood and in a prominent location, so it was very important to us to honor its character and history. The existing windows were literally falling apart and some of the framework had rotted. The existing siding consisted of two layers of material – the original crumbling wood clapboard plus a layer of painted asbestos shingles. The asbestos shingles were removed by an abatement company and then Dave, Tim and Tommy went to work. We ultimately completed the project in two phases due to a tough decision we made to change material mid-project. Dave was completely accommodating and professional despite the scheduling disruption. Throughout the project, they were on-time, neat, courteous, and happy to work with us on the approach and materials. We can't wait to have them back to start on the next step on our renovation.

My house is almost 100 years old. After years of cooking in an outdated, crumbling galley kitchen, it was so time for a complete renovation. I liked the job Diggian did on my neighbors kitchen and called David to discuss how we could make my kitchen more open and functional. The Diggian crew completely gutted the old kitchen. They were professional, honest, very efficient, and a pleasure to work with. I now have stone countertops, a fabulous new oak floor, and great maple cabinets. They replace the craftsman molding so well that you would swear it was original. I won't say it was stress free, no renovation is, but Dave made coming home from work each day an exciting event as each day brought great progress. I am happy to say that today I have a kitchen that is functional, fun to cook in and all together very very cool. It gets rave reviews!!

They were superb and professional in every way. They told us exactly what was hapening, cleaned up every day, and completed the work on time, on budget and the result was exactly what we wanted..

Pretty much exactly as scheduled. Dave anticipated questions ahead of time and was proactive. One incident involving a radiator pipe that was accidentally cut by the electrician was cleaned up and fixed in no time. He was very patient in talking through ideas, and very attentive to details. We couldn't be happier with the whole experience.

He looked at the space several times before presenting the bid. Had a company do the tear out. Cleaned up completely every day. Put in hardwood floors; cabinets, granite countertops, appliances, sink and faucet. Couldn't be more happy with the job.
