We design and build custom outdoor living spaces in natural wood, low maintenance materials, natural stone, and concrete pavers. We're fully licensed and insured. We have been in business since 1989 and have thousands of satisfied customers throughout the DC Metro Area. We are A+ Rated with the BBB and have won Angie's List Super Service Award for 6 years in a row. We do not offer staining, sealing, and cleaning services.

"I'm absolutely thrilled with the work Sean and his crew did on our screened porch. I'm fairly particular and wanted to be involved in the project, probably more than most clients, and Sean worked with me throughout to get the porch I wanted. He was communicative and explained pros/cons of all the various options. Partway through the project, we realized our pre-existing front porch needed some repairs too, and Sean seamlessly added that to the project and was very reasonable on the price. Once the team started, the work went quickly but was clearly done very carefully. The attention to detail was fantastic, and the end result is a beautiful and functional porch that we're thrilled with. In the first week after the porch was completed, at least 6-8 different sets of neighbors stopped us to say it looked great. I would absolutely use American Deck again for a similar project and have recommended them to friends."

Easy Steps to your dream granite transformations...

"Overall, I would say I'm 80 percent satisfied with the work performed by US Granite Marble Inc. It appears that they order one slab for my kitchen job, but it was not enough. One kitchen cabinet was moved to compensate for one countertop not being long enough. As a result, it exposed a little more than a half inch of sheet rock that had never been painted and a gap in my floor tile that had originally been covered with the bottom cabinet molding. Upon completion, they moved my refrigerator over to cover this imperfection. I was asked whether they could bring the large slabs through my garage instead of the front door. I have a pantry connected to my garage...so there is a pantry door and a garage door. Working in my office I noticed a large fly come into the room and when I went to the kitchen they had both the garage door and pantry door open letting in not only bugs but heat from outside on a high humidity day. I closed the pantry door and as long as I was in the kitchen they would close the door behind themselves. After they left for the day, I noticed that my air condition was not cutting off as usual. Checking the thermostat, I realized that they had dropped the temperature in my house to compensate for them leaving both doors open. The next day the owner stopped by to view and address my concerns. He tried to make what appeared to be excuses for the movement of my cabinet. He stated "I'm noy saying they moved the cabinet, but if they did, I'll find out why. Now the owner is the one who measured my kitchen project and if he had noticed and/or seen the gap I believe he would have noted it or brought it to my attention that his company would not be liable for this discrepancy. It's been a week, and the owner has not followed up with me to resolve this issue."

We service residential and commercial needs. Whether you have a major remodel, home addition, minor home repairs, or anything in between we can help. We are a master plumbing and gas fitter as well. Quality, professionalism, and workmanship are the foundation of our business. Our biggest priority is our customers satisfaction. We provide competitive pricing without a lack of quality or professionalism. We are built on the premise that without our customers we wouldn't be here.

"Our deck caught fire last summer and we contracted Chris Heinz to do the rebuilding and replacement of our fire-damaged exterior. Chris was wonderful to work with! He worked with our insurance company tirelessly and also kept us informed every step of the way. He and his crew removed our old deck and siding, and built a new deck, a landing and stairs off our kitchen, installed a new sliding door and four windows, replaced our siding and trim, and installed new outdoor lighting. There were a few delays due to the pandemic and materials being readily unavailable from one of the manufacturers, but the timeframe was reasonable given the circumstances. Chris and his crew did an amazing job and we couldn’t be happier. We love our beautiful new deck and the new siding and trim. We get so many compliments from our neighbors and passers-by! We will definitely go to Chris next time we need work on our house and recommend him to everyone!"

"We were 100% satisfied with Washingtonian and with their work building our addition and deck. Not only was the workmanship and quality of the construction outstanding, but they operated with honesty and integrity. Their goal was our satisfaction and building a quality addition and deck. They accomplished all three and were reliable, dependable and conscientious. At no time did we believe that they had over-committed or were unable to deliver on what they had promised. They never cut corners to rush to another job nor did I ever feel that they were not spending the necessary time to ensure that the work on our job was thorough and complete. Travis, Kris and their crew were 100% professional, communicative and transparent. We will be using Washingtonian again, without hesitation. Our experience was excellent and they did an awesome job."

Countertops and Backsplashes questions, answered by experts

Solid surface countertops are fairly resilient. You can use soapy water or ammonia-based cleaners. You can also occasionally use diluted bleach (around 5 tablespoons per gallon of water) for sanitization. Avoid window cleaners because they leave a waxy film that can dull the countertop’s surface. Solid surface material is nonporous, so there’s no need for sealing.

Porcelain countertops have a fairly long life span, sometimes lasting for decades. Depending on how much wear and tear you put your countertops through, it could last 25 to 50 years. But be warned, porcelain is also prone to cracking, so as long as you take good care of it, you’ll have those countertops looking brand new for years to come.

How often you need to reseal marble countertops depends on the quality and color of the stone, the traffic on the surface, and the type of sealant. Sealing at least once a year is the general rule of thumb. However, if your large family loves to cook or the countertops are in a busy family bathroom, you might have to reseal them every six months (or more). The surfaces of your rarely used guest bathroom might not need resealing for a few years.

Durable, contemporary concrete countertops can increase home values. However, they might not offer as high an ROI as quartz or granite surfaces, which offer a timeless aesthetic and durability likely to appeal to a range of home buyers. Installing new countertops is a home improvement that can yield an average of 60% to 80% ROI when done well, using quality, perennially popular materials.

The average countertop square footage in a kitchen is 30 square feet, but that number varies widely depending on the size of the kitchen. Some smaller kitchens may only have one stretch of countertop or an L-shape. Larger kitchens can include an island or peninsula and more expansive countertops. When deciding what works best for your home, measure your kitchen countertop and make sure to include countertop cost calculations in your budget.
