"Our kitchen remodel by Top Remodeling was a fantastic experience. Ben's creativity in the design phase made a significant difference. We love our new kitchen!"
"While it is normal for remodeling projects to create chaos and to be the muse of many a horror story, this ended up with a very pleasant end result. We had a complete renovation down to the studs to bring things up to code, which included ripping out the sub flooring and quite a bit of pipes. Parts were ordered and lost and found. Things went on backorder and were discontinued. We fortunately had a fantastic crew. Ismar (the contractor) did an awesome job of making sure that everything was done to spec and built beautifully. He followed our wishes and came back on the weekend and late to be sure the work was done right. The only real challenges were with the design and oversight from the office, between the designer losing our design specs on the first pass and not communicating proactively about delays or back orders, but thankfully these were more annoyance than problem. After a few handoffs, we got Eric E. as project manager, and he saw us through the rest of the project with much better results and only about 30% oversight still needed from us. Overall, we got a great bathroom out of the deal, so 4 stars."
"Received exceptional service by Ronal and his team. Not only was the work done well, he was very attentive and conscientious about ensuring the tile design was the way I wanted it. Every day his team also left the work area very clean so I could use portions of the space even while the work was being done. Highly recommend!"
"S&J did a fantastic job! We had our living room painted and couldn't be happier. The staff at S&J are very friendly, professional and a pleasure to work with. We will definitely use them for future remodeling."
"Renken did an AMAZING job on our shower remodel. Their salesman was kind, courteous, direct and honest with us. Everything we asked for happened within the timeline they said it would. And the shower looks awesome. I would recommend them to anyone!"
"We hired AES to do our master bathroom remodel. We are very happy with it, it’s beautiful! Everyone was friendly and professional, the sales person/estimator, the two men who did the work, the concierge, they were all very good at what they do. The workers were detail oriented and cleaned up the place every day before they left. We received quotes from 3 companies for this job, AES was in the middle. We really liked the concierge service - they send a designer with you to shop for the tiles, flooring, fixtures, etc, they help you pick everything out and tie it all together into a coherent design. It was very helpful, they even help you pick out paint colors."
"I met with Javier to discuss my kitchen and bathroom remodel. Although DMV did not do the remodel, Javier presented the best design. It was creative and the kitchen layout was great. The cost was reasonable, but above my small budget. Their professionalism does not go unnoticed. Hope to work with DMV Kitchen and Bath in the future."
"D& V Remodeling did a phenomenal job job of painting the exterior of my home and replacing a cement walkway. The work was swift and professionally executed with meticulous concern to get things perfect! AND it was just perfectly completed! Reasonably priced and expertly finished."
"Simon from Kitchen Saver did an outstanding job on my outdated kitchen! I needed some cabinets replaced and some new added along with a full refacing and new countertop. I highly recommend them for your remodel!"
Above all, the downside to building a new house is a longer timeline. You need several months to finish the build, depending on the supply chain and labor availability in the meantime. Building a home compared to buying one is also more expensive, both in the building process and when it comes to mortgage rates and property taxes.
An architect is usually involved in the process of determining the layout and structural features and requirements of the home itself, taking into account the local codes, climate, and materials needed to make the home structurally sound. Architects may communicate more with contractors and subcontractors throughout the building process. In comparison to architects, interior designers typically focus on the aesthetics of a home interior and possibly exterior, helping the homeowner decide on color schemes, textures, and materials to incorporate into the design.
Yes, you can draw your own deck plans in many cases. However, you must know your local building codes and be familiar with carpentry principles. Even then, it's always best to run your plans by a professional contractor with experience building decks, whether you choose to DIY some of the build or not.
The process typically takes 2-6 weeks, depending on the project size and level of customization.
A split-level home is one that has several staggered floors connected by short staircases, while a split floor plan separates the primary bedroom from the rest of the bedrooms. Split floor plans are most often found in single-story homes, while split-level homes are always at least two stories.
