Get matched with top designers/decorators in Dunn Loring, VA

"In short, things went GREAT, and I can whole-heartedly recommend Thomas Custom Builders (TCB), which is a "design-build" firm. Here's how things went: Firstly, expect that they have a backlog, and it may take a while to get to your project - probably because their reputation proceeds them. It took nearly 9 months between when we started with them on scoping our our project to when we broke ground, however we ended up with a design that worked. Through that phase, we worked with TCB on what goals we wanted to achieve, and what our budget was, and they designed to achieve as much of our goals within our budget. During construction, TCB promised to have a foreman who spoke fluent English on-site every day, and they delivered on that. This stood in pretty stark contrast with some of my previous contracting experiences, where the project could languish without seeing anyone come to the site. With TCB, the project always moved forward - sometimes it moved rapidly, with multiple trades on-site - sometimes it moved moderately, with the foreman and a couple helpers - and sometimes it was just the foreman handling things himself - but it always moved. TCB also is the kind of company that won't nickle and dime you. If something small is missed in the project scope that is needed to really complete the project, they'll do it. Don't expect them to shell out thousands of dollars in that respect - that would be a change order (which I had one) - but at the end of the day, I very much got the impression that they really took pride in their work and wanted me to be happy with the end result, which I am. TCB estimated the job would take between 3 to 4.5 months, and they completed in 4 months. I had one change order to connect my concrete/flagstone walkway to my stairs, which we had missed in the scope and was too big of a cost for TCB to absorb ($2.5k), however that was the only overage, so all in all we stayed on-budget. Things that we got done in the project: - Bumped out front to add walk-in closet and much bigger master bath to master bedroom. - Reconfigured entryway with a foyer/mudroom and semi-open staircase to attic. - insulated attic. It's still unfinished, but much better for storage. - new roof w/ 30 year shingles - widened dining - family room entry to be open concept. - re-did fireplace wall with built-ins, stone tile, gas insert - new paint for most of first floor - refinished all hardwood. One thing that we did to help out is that we completely moved out of the first floor as well as most of the attic stuff into a POD. TCB will readily tell you that they aren't professional movers, so go ahead and hire a professional moving firm to do that for you to clear the way for TCB to do their work. We used 2 men and a truck and were very happy with them."

"Thank you Lily & Team: I contracted with MA Cleaning and Landscape to provide a hardscape solution under my new deck, including a concrete pad and decorative pebbles. They consulted with me on construction day, and completed the $2900 job nicely in 2 days. Being pleased with their work, I asked for help designing a landscape project along a 50 foot stone wall. That $2200 job was also done very well in one day. When issues arose, Lily handled them like a boss. I really appreciated her calling me directly to offer a solution. Lily was very kind and highly professional, which makes a huge difference with me. I am posting this review because I want people to know they can trust lily and her team to do the right thing. I can also highly recommend them for both hardscape and landscape design. I had a 12 year relationship with a prior landscape designer until she retired, and hope to continue using this company for garden enhancement for many years to come. Regan in Clarksburg, MD"

"I highly recommend Horizon Landscaping. They were extremely responsive and knowledgeable from the project design and quote all the way to completion. I made several changes in materials and design partway through and it was no issue for them. Their workmanship is excellent and their workers are courteous, which was important with neighbors being close to the worksite. They even came back at no cost after the project was completed when I requested some changes after a big storm. I plan on using them again if any new projects come up!"

"I experienced the utmost in professionalism and creativity! They were very responsive to what I envisioned for my place and gave me assistance and support throughout the whole process, including advice when needed. The Peaches and Cream team made themselves available whenever needed and provided needed reassurance when I waffled on some of my decisions. I would unequivocally recommend them to anyone needing interior design services and decorating."

"I was matched with Lily in the site after requesting assistance with design services following remodeling work in our townhouse. Lily is fantastic to work with. We engaged with her both on an hourly consulting basis and for a design project to lay out our main level. The personal service, her availability, and above all her design were phenomenal. The highly interactive process allowed Lily to really get to understand my personal style and inspiration and reflect that back in the ultimate design she presented. In everything from floor layout to furniture, light fixture accessory selection to paint colors and the flow through the whole space to tie it all together, we couldnâ t be more pleased. Her Zbox option is a really unique approach that was both cost effective and perfect for what we needed, and also highly detailed, thorough and personal. She really â gotâ the style and feel we were trying to achieve without knowing how to get there ourselves. Iâ ve already shared her name and contact information with 5 different colleagues and friends. I highly recommend working with Lily!"

"FM&H Brothers was very professional. The company main contact scheduled an appointment to review and assess the lawn, and provided a quote for the services needed (trimming the Hedge bushes, laying down grass feed, and mulching the trees). The company informed me when they would be able to perform the services needed, and they showed up as agreed. The lawn was amazing!! My attendance was not required, since I had to be in the office. Once the services were completed, the company sent me photos of the completed work, and my yard looked like a complete new yard. If you are looking for someone to cater, and professionally landscape your yard, I truly recommend FM&H Brothers Landscapes."

"Replied and quoted in a timely manner. Worked with me on scheduling, showed up on time. Completed the work as discussed. Friendly, easy to work with. Very satisfied. Would recommend. Melvin knows his stuff."

"The team Sarokey designed and installed a beautiful bathroom. It is better than I could even imagine. I can’t thank the team enough for doing it quickly and within my budget."

"We was getting estimates for our bath room remodeling. Harlan came to give us free estimate and introduced us new shower wall system. This wall system prevents shower wall inside from getting molds and bacteria. It also has a variety of panel design choices . Harlan presented to us with four different options based on our preferences and budget. We were able to pick one easily and are very excited to get it started."

"He was very helpful and went above and beyond for me an my business partner alleviating a lot of the stress involved the process. His expertise is exceptional, he knows exactly what he is doing."
