In the 10 years I've owned my home, this is my LEAST favorite contractor. The contractor has made some attempts to fix the problems but in the end I've had to accept a discount and live with inferior workmanship. The work was done to turn an uninsulated sunporch into a weatherproof room off the main house. Exterior wood was rotting and the roof was leaking. I hired Arlington Designer Homes because of their commitment to energy efficiency. The only aspect of this job they did well was insulate and caulk. three years later the corners of the sun porch still leak. it is unclear whether the drafty, yet expensive high R/U value door was flawed in the manufacturing process or installed wrong. We came home one windy fall day and there were leaves indoors where they had blown in between the two sliding doors. The manufacturers solution was to put spongy foam between the doors. Basically we spent a lot of money but did not get the fix we were looking for. When I complained of the leaks in the corners of the sun porch, the contractor did promptly come to look at it, told me to caulk, which I did but there is still moisture damaging the drywall in the corners. The cabinet construction was done so poorly that the Contractor ended up not charging us for it. It was not built evenly. We also didn't get charged for the new storm door because the contractor drilled the holes for the wrong location and simply filled with caulk. Measurements were not taken when building the cabinet and the outlet covers had to be cut in order to fit around the wood rails of the cabinet. Measurements were also not taken when installing the carpet. A gap can be felt in the pad underneath, even after I had them reinstall it. Will not hire this contractor again.

Worked with this builder when we bought new construction home. Builder would not replace all of warped hardwood flooring damaged during framed construction stage due to rain. Builder would not repair roofing which was installed incorrectly even after county officials notified him of requirement. Builder was difficult to deal with; unresponsive to inquiries and requests.
