Description of Work: He came out to give us an estimate on the possible job.

Description of Work: We had hired another bathroom remodeler to redo our Master Bathroom (very tiny -- 51 inches X about 80 inches). The fixtures consisted of a toilet, sink, shower stall, medicine cabinet and light. The contractor recommended taking it down to the studs (all the original fixtures, tile from 1929 were still in place). They totally screwed up everything, broke our boiler/radiator system and put massive construction debris into our sewer system. So we fired that contractor about 3 days into the job. Mr. Kedar and crew fixed everything, including repairs to the joists the old contractor damaged. He also repaired and replaced a rotten window sill, compromised studs, and repaired the plumbing issues -- repiped the vertical and horizontal water feeds, repaired the drainage system, put in an exhaust fan, subfloor. He installed the expensive marble tile we had purchased, installed all the fixtures, fixed the plaster walls damaged in other areas of the home due to the other contractors amateur demolition. He also built a closet and created a nook in the master bedroom while the crew was there. They painted, replaced woodwork that was damaged, and now we have a little gem of a bathroom. He expanded the shower stall without changing the footprint of the bathroom. The whole bathroom looks much larger. Not only would we hire him again, we would put him on salary if he weren't already busy with other projects.

Description of Work: The builder drew out the curved outline for a new front flagstone walkway that had a 'Y" branching around the house. The left branch went to the front of the newly built portico. The right branch curved around the house where a new basement entrance had been dug out. Although I had originally been thinking of a rather basic narrow path to the new front portico, Jawad (Kader) and his stone mason designed the flagstone to be the width of the portico. Jawad drew out the outline of the curved walkway and it is fabulous! Everyone comments on how stunning it looks. We wanted an irregular shaped flagstone with a lot of blue and the stone mason made several trips to the distributor to bring us samples. And when he learned of a new shipment that had a lot of blue (but was still the lower priced "general" flagstone, he called us so we could quickly reserve it). The stone mason and crew worked diligently in very high heat to work the pieces of the stone into a very pleasing pattern that fit together well without a lot of concrete filler. (We had seen examples of walkways in the Chevy Chase neighborhood where irregular stones had up to five inches of concrete between them and we didn't like that). Regarding the right branch of the walkway that connected to the new basement entrance: The crew had to cut through the existing exterior brick basement wall and pour a concrete opening and stairs to create the new entrance. The crew attended to all the details, including how water would drain at the base of the steps. And they made suggestions with a good eye for design to make transitions between the new concrete and the old brick exterior look great, whether that meant adding a layer of brick or filling in with concrete. All the stone masonry work was amazing. All involved take great pride in their work and they want the customer to be pleased. They are highly skilled and very knowledgable. The work was done in an amazingly short period of time. The crew worked late and on Saturdays to adjust to weather concerns.

Description of Work: He did a major renovation: family room, kitchen, den, in-suite addition with it's own bathroom, master bedroom and bath, hallways, front patio, 2 porches, walkway, and entry ways.
