Get matched with top home builders in Kettering, MD

"All work was completed in a professional manner from initial planning through all phases of construction. The job site was maintained as expected. AES worked with us on a few small changes we requested along the way as well. I felt very comfortable with all the craftsperson’s at work in our home. There was great communication with AES throughout the job. I would use their services in the future."

"It went very smoothly and quickly. The price was lower than other contractors I talked to, and the outcome was very good. Everything was done quickly, neighbors didn't complain about noise or whatnot, the place was left clean, and nothing was damaged along the way, and the result is great. Communication was very easy and on the point. I am very pleased with SM Constructions and would gladly recommend them for any job."

"They were responsive and professional. I'm happy with the result."

"We write this review as a sigh of relief now that our renovation project with River View is finally complete. The quality of the final work is excellent, and the construction crew, architect, and county inspector were all great to work with. The original crew we worked with, led by Edwin, were so hardworking, friendly, thorough, and fast. That's what really pushed us from 2 to 3 stars. However, the process getting here was frustrating and unnecessarily chaotic. Timeline & Communication Issues: Initial promise: We were clear that the renovation had to allow us to live in our home during construction and be completed before Christmas. Early communication: Our original project manager, Cris, was personable, and early communication seemed fine, if a bit informal and sometimes inappropriately personal. Major miscommunication: Near the holidays, we discovered that the plans submitted included cutting into the roof — something we explicitly said we didn’t want. This contradicted verbal assurances and caused major last-minute changes. Project Management Failures: Poor planning and oversight: Cris and the architect’s plan didn’t align with the construction work. We had to get involved directly with the county to fix errors. Paperwork errors: Incorrect submissions to the county added delays and confusion, which we had to monitor ourselves. Last-minute scramble: We were cleaning up dust on Christmas Eve due to these planning failures. Personnel Turnover & Lack of Handoff: Cris leaves the company: No proper handover to James, the new PM, who was unfamiliar with our project. Crew replaced: The original crew, who were great, were gone; new crew had no context or direction. James leaves: Another handoff with no context — the third PM had no idea about our project or its outstanding items. Escalation mishandled: When we raised our concerns with Kyle, the CEO, the response felt dismissive, with no accountability for the previous missteps. In summary, it's a beautiful end result... but we’re glad it’s over. The process left us frustrated, confused, and frankly, exhausted."

"Removed and installed bath vanity, faucet, and LED mirror. Services for this entailed plumbing, painting, sanding, and electrical work. Fast response and follow up for initial estimate. Peter and Joseph came out together to see what needed to be done. They were professional and easy to work with and their company’s response time overall was very good. The workmanship was very good and they have perfect personalities as contractors. Omar did most of the work after the project started. He knows his stuff and is very skilled. I would definitely hire them again. I was impressed by their experience and expertise as a team."

"The work was done professionally to the highest degree. We were extremely pleased and totally satisfied. Without question they were my first choice for the next home project"

"I had an excellent experience working with Gus & Sons on a fence construction project behind home. Gus and Edgar's outstanding communication, punctuality, and attention to detail were matched only by their kindness and patience. They listened to our preferences and offered valuable insights, delivering a strong and beautiful fence that exceeded our expectations. Their craftsmanship, problem solving abilities, and genuine dedication to customer service made them a joy to work with. I am truly delighted with the final result. I wholeheartedly recommend them and look forward to working with them again on more projects in the future."

"Great service! Quote was accurate and job was done to my satisfaction."

"Edwin did a great job and was helpful and communicated even late in the evening."

"Mr. Diaz was not the lowest price quote we received, but he had great reviews and was very responsive. We found this carried on throughout the project. Unlike some other experiences we've had, he always came when he said he would. He was able to start almost immediately. Sometimes he shifted his schedule to respond to the weather and projects that were indoors or out, but he always let us know. The work was done quickly and the quality is very good. All of his crew were friendly and professional. He also saved us some money as we were about to order granite counters from the big orange box store and he was able to get a look we liked for considerably less and faster. He could have done the same for our cabinets, too, but we didn't have time to add that to the project. On top of all that, he guarantees his work for 2 years."
