Not at all. The prices went higher and higher, apparently we could not get the builder to understand that gjoing from budget of $250K , to get exactly what we wanted, landing on above $400K then finding out civil fees and flooring, ect... were not included. After long bitter struggle, we walked away from a $35K deposit and did not get the work done. Make sure you get a simplified contract that does provide you with options
Response from Glickman Design Build
"We are very sorry the owners were unhappy with us. We feel we always try to do our best. We feel we provided a great solution within the contracted budget...as promised. And we also showed options which although above the desired budget, we felt made sense to consider. We tried to resolve the discord, but we were unsuccessful. We wish all the best for our client and family."

The overall experience was excellent. The initial sales part was stressful and difficult since we do not know all the ins and outs. Once the work started it was amazing. The project manager Justin Wigfield is fantastic. He is on top of things and very responsive. He makes you feel like everything is under control and he deals immediately with any problems. The subs that were used were also fantastic. JP who did the masonry was wonderful. Very neat and clean as were all the subs. Javier and his crew did most of the construction and were very helpful. The plumbers were lovely and very helpful. And the Electrician Anthony of Live Electric was incredible and made sure things were right. The rest of the subs - the HVAC and the flooring teams were so efficient that we did not even get to know them. Overall the project was finished quickly and beautifully. We are very happy with the results. I would suggest that anyone who wants to do a major renovation like we did should sit down with the group initially and go over ever element of the contract. There are so many parts and things you do not think of initially. Make sure that you know what is covered and what is not. It prevents confusion down the road. Glickman Design Build was wonderful to work with and this has been a really enjoyable process. We expected things to be stressful and difficult but were pleasantly surprised throughout the entire time with how smoothly everything went.

Russ Glickman and his team were fantastic to work with. They helped us design the project and then did the work from beginning to end. They specialize in making homes accessible and that is exactly what we needed. They brought their expertise to the project and we were thrilled.

Glickman Design Build is totally professional and friendly.  They are meticulous with their planning and fabulous with their design ideas.  They suggested a flooring that I had never heard of that worked great for our basement level.  It was a hard job at times because they had to re-paint and put flooring down in our laundry room in the basement too, which was FULL of heavy things!  I was getting rid of "old stuff" at the same time and the guys helped me carry things outside which they didn't have to do.

My wife and I hired Glickman Design Build to complete a kitchen renovation for us when we moved to our new place last November in Montgomery Village, MD. We were very pleased with Russ Glickman & his crews. 
Everyone who sees it are as impressed as us. Even though the project was not that big and was a rush, they did it and were on time. Very dependable and nice crew. We would surely hire them for future projects.

If you only read the first sentence of a review, let me quickly say that I consider Glickman Design to be the best possible choice for any home renovation project.  Their performance was outstanding. We completely gutted our large kitchen area down to the studs and replaced all flooring, cabinets, and appliances, as well as moved a window.  The pre-constuction design phase was somewhat long because there were design challenges to making the kitchen flow appropriately.  In the end, the extra time was worth it and resulted in the best design possible for the space we had. The designer provided numerous designs and a great deal of her time to assist me in selecting the materials for the kitchen. 
The project construction was approximately 12 weeks. Living with construction for that period is challenging but the crew worked quickly to restore some function and we had access to the appliances in a short time.   In addition to the designer's input, the construction manager was very helpful in solving problems and insuring a perfect end product.  His attention to detail and problem solving in the field met and exceeded our expectations.  His goal, and the goal of the firm, was to make us completely happy.  The crew was outstanding and worked effectively in the kitchen area while protecting the rest of the house from damage or dust.  The experience of this team showed in the finished kitchen.  We could not be more pleased that we chose Glickman Design for our contractor.  I would recommend them for any home renovation project without any hesitation.

I returned to the Washington, D.C. area for medical reasons. I had just purchased an apartment and needed to get into it quickly before protracted medical procedures ensued. The Glickman squad gave superb service. Friendly, hard-working, accommodating. When I hit a snag on what to do about a certain design matter, the construction director was quick to offer suggestions, which I almost always agreed to.   It was a relatively small job, but the quality was excellent, and I am delighted that the price came in at less than $30,000 which is what I had told them was my limit.  Thank you fellows for a superb job, well-done and in very quick order.
