Get matched with top architects in Glen Echo, MD

"Todd Willoughby is a very talented architect. We have had the pleasure of working with him to design our custom home in Middleburg, Virginia. Todd is extremely knowledgeable about residential and commercial construction. This is our third custom home, and we have worked with several other architects on various projects through the years. My husband is in commercial construction and has worked with numerous architects in the past forty years. The biggest difference with Todd is that we felt as though he wanted to design the house that WE wanted, not the house that he wanted to design for us. He listened to every suggestion and made every change we recommended to design our home exactly the way we envisioned. His step by step design process allowed us to see our ideas come together. We were able to see whether we were achieving the look we had in mind. Todd gave us very helpful suggestions. He responded to every question and email almost immediately. He told us exactly what to expect and when to expect it. His 3D model was amazing and unbelievably helpful in allowing us to "experience" the sizes of the rooms, windows and many other little details. It gave a perspective that is just not possible to get from a 2D drawing. Todd was even able to put the civil engineer's grading plan on 3D showing the house and property. We have never seen an architect be able to do this. It helped immensely. We could not have been more pleased with Todd Willoughby's skills, knowledge, responsiveness, professionalism and ability to deliver exactly what we wanted by the date promised. His pricing for his services is very competitive and reasonable. He is truly a nice guy. We look forward to working with Todd again in the near future."

"Mr. Hintz is a very courteous and accommodating person. He was willing to meet at my convenience. He is very professional; his work performance was outstanding. When I saw his drawings, all I could say was "wow!" I was very pleasantly awed. He is worth every penny charged. I am truly satisfied and happy that I called him. We're still working on the project, but I believe its only going to get better. Thanks Berny!"

"Excellent. Very knowledgeable, professional and timely."

"To say it went perfect would be an understatement. We could not be more pleased with the craftmanship, the staff, the materials, and the professional construction we had done from this company. The photos of both bathrooms do not even do it justice because we can't capture the entire room with one photo. We have never had such amazing construction done by any contractor in the 32 years of home ownership, prior to this company. They do it all. Indoor, outdoor, heavy construction, light construction. They had to relocate HVAC ducts, plumbing, electric, and move some walls. They are a one-stop shop!! Prices were extremely reasonable."

"Jose was very easy to work with. He returned my call promptly and came a few days later to get a sense for the work we wanted done. We told him that we wanted to remove some old bushes and a dead tree. He talked to us about what we wanted to replace them with and he had some suggestions on trees that would work for our yard. We showed up our deck and asked about what he could do to help spruce it up. He has extensive work in putting in new decks, but just wanted to do some maintenance for now as we have larger projects on the horizon. He was amicable to what we wanted and offered up a plan to reinforce the deck and tighten up all the railings and the gate. He also laid out the plan to refinish the deck with new stain. Later that night he sent us an estimate for the work he outlined and we were happy with price. We called him the next day and planned for him to come out with his crew on a Saturday morning to start the work.
We asked him to come at 9am and he and his crew were there at 8:45am which was great since we are early risers. His team went right to work pulling out our bushes. My wife and I left him and his team and went off to Home Depot to pick out bushes and our tree. Jose offered to get the bushes and tree for us and include it in his estimate, but we are kinda picky and wanted to do it ourselves. Again he was very receptive to our plans. After we picked out our bushes and tree, we called Jose and he brought his truck up to pick them up for us. By the time we got home about an hour and a half after we left our yard was completely devoid of this giant ugly old bushes. He and his team went right to work planting away. By around noon, his team was done with the planting the new bushes, leveling off some holes in our yard, planting and staking our new tree and was all cleaned up. He had some one in the back power washing our deck and getting that ready for day 2. Once our deck was power washed it had to dry before they could get to it.
His team was back on Monday and did a great job resealing the deck and making it look almost new again. We communicated via text for any questions related to stain colors and what kind of lattice we wanted. He was always very responsive and we always felt that he was right on top of things. The deck needed to dry after Monday so his team came back Tuesday afternoon and finished up the work including adding the lattice, providing a second coat to the deck, adding the deck reinforcing, and tightening up all the railings and gate. His team was all finished and cleaned up by 6pm on Tuesday. For the amount of work they completed it was done fast and efficiently. Overall it was a great experience and we are looking forward to using Jose again for future projects.

"Blackstone is a very professional company and their service and communication is unsurpassed! Eddie was the lead on the project and was very competent. Antonio was the amazing guy that did almost all of the demolition and construction of the bathroom. He was very patient and extremely neat. There are always unknown things that come up with remodeling projects and Antonio addressed them with calm and expertise. He came up with ideas that we didnâ t think of and they were on spot. I highly recommend Blackstone."

"Roberto and his crew were great. We needed a short retaining wall to enclose our new landscaping area in the front of our house. They were meticulous and highly skilled. They also redid a section of flagstone that need re leveled and cleaned up. The price was a bit high but the work quality was also high. I'd hire them again."

"They were on time. And stayed on schedule with the work. They also helped out with adjusting to our budget helping us choose the best materials for our project."

"I hired Baumann's Lawn and Landscape to fix my front lawn. The soil was mostly clay and sand and covered in weeds. They killed and removed all the vegetation, tilled the soil, brought in new topsoil, conditioned/fertilized, and then laid sod. The crew was fast, efficient, polite, and did an amazing job (hopefully this site allows me to upload photos after writing this). The work was done in 3 separate days and took less than 2 weeks from the initial phone call to the finished installation. The price is what you would expect for this level of work and that much sod (sod is not cheap). They're not over-priced but it's not Bob's discount landscaping either. You'll get your money's worth for your project. Baumann's will be my #1 choice for future landscape projects."

"Very responsive to the job needs, great communication and extremely professional. I would highly recommend them for your project needs."
