Two subcontractors were horrible, the HVAC and plumber made mistakes and were unprofessional and David seemed to back their actions.  The framers, tiles and finish subcontractors were excellent.  The material estimates were poor and organization of the material costs were poor.

We hired Summit to add an addition onto to our home for a new kitchen and small family room. We wanted a company that would build the shell of the addition and install the windows, electrical, plumbing, insulation, roof and leave the rest for us to finish. Summit met with us many times, discussed the plans, provided drawings, and obtained the proper permits. This company was willing to work closely with us and not require us to have their company finish the work, which is extremely hard to find. They kept us informed of every step along the way and provided detailed schedules as well. They broke ground and had the foundation poured within 2 days. Later that week, this area was experiencing extreme heat, in the 100s, and Summit still came to work, extra early to beat the heat. The plan was to finish the job in about 3 to 4 weeks and it was completed in a little less than 3 weeks. It was an extremely pleasant experience working with everyone, from the owners, to the project lead to the carpenters. Their sub contractors where great to work with as well. My husband asked detailed questions throughout the process and everyone was always willing to explain what was happening. We have since finish the addition ourselves and have been nothing but beyond pleased with their work. Our addition is beautiful and we have not had one issue with anything. We would utilize Summit again as they are just a great company to deal with.

They were very helpful with the design elements, which took some time, but the actual work was done very quickly and efficiently. They offered several options when choosing sub-contractors, and were helpful when choosing and pricing products. They were very professional and worked with us. They were quite responsive, and had one of their own people onsite every day, even when the sub-contractors were working. They made sure the work was done correctly. We were extremely happy with their work.

Quality of work is good. Communication average. Company is afraid of competition. I am investor who renovate, hold and rent and have multiple projects ranging from 50K-150K in cost and include additions. First project (75-80K) was through competition. I awarded to Summit Design even though Price was higher because there presentation was very professional. I was happy with work at project#1 so I gave him another project#2 (55-60K) without bidding or negotiating. It completed well in Nov 2010, although there is still some work left to be completed when it warm up. I had another project #3 which was not well defined because of many unknowns. Mike suggested few options but none was that impressive. His quote was getting very expensive. He started quoting me based upon sale price of propriety. This project was in Arlington near by Pentagon in prestigious area so sale price was high. This lead me to get competitive bid. That was not acceptable to Mike and he asked me to pay retention fee for him to give me quote. So I had to drop him. In another small project#4, I was charged (it was later adjusted down significantly) nearly $250 because door was changed from inside to outside swing. It was $40 door, remaining cost was mark up and trip charge. If you do not mind cost of project, he is good to work with with nice team.
Response from Summit Design Remodeling, LLC
"Summit Design Remodeling is a professional remodeling company with all the proper licensing and insurance. We are not at all afraid to compete for our remodeling projects, we do it every day. On the first two projects that we did for the Member, we did not have to re-design the space - they involved removing the existing materials and replacing them. We were able to calculate how much the new materials and our labor would cost and gave the Member a fixed price for each job. On the third house, the Member was considering expanding the attic space of the house to either have dormers added or removing the whole roof and adding a second floor onto the house. This project required about 100 labor hours of engineering and design (generating a new house plan on the computer) to determine the scope and cost of the project. We also needed to confirm that there would be no zoning issues with Arlington County that would prohibit moving forward with this project. The Member wanted us to do this for free and then take our work and hand it off to other remodelers to get a competitive bid. We were unwilling to do this and decided to not to pursue the project. Regarding the unfinished work, the weather outside in December was too cold to paint the floor of the outside porch. We told the Member that we will finish this in the spring when the weather permits and he was okay with that. Despite this bad report from him, we are true to our word and will get this painting done when the temperatures allow us do so. The change order for the door of $250.00 was reasonable. We had already purchased and installed one door, we had to go and purchase a second door and modify the door casing so that it would operate differently. This involved more labor hours, painting supplies, and the time to pick up the new door. Because the Member was so unhappy with a $250 price and because he was holding several thousand for work already completed, we decided to take a loss on the small change order to maintain good relations with our client (or so we thought). We stand by our work and operate in a professional manner. We had hoped that our relationship with the Member had gone on with more remodeling projects, but he wanted a cheaper price and moved on and we understand that. We wish him the best."

Craftsmanship is excellent. We had a few problems with subcontractors, which contractors dealt with immediately. They stayed to original estimates, with written addendums for the the two additional changes I made. They disrupted our life as minimumly as possible and stuck to their schedule as closely as possible, given constraints of inspections. I would use them again and have been handing out brochures about the company. We were their initial Maryland project, but they have already begun work on several other homes in the area. I am willing to be a referral for them.
