Get matched with top designers/decorators in Sterling, 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."

"We were referred by a friend to hire Jaber Construction LLC for kitchen ceramic backsplash installation. We are very satisfied with their exceptional and high-quality work. Nick, the owner, is responsive, always answers our questions to the point, and provides excellent customer services. His crews perform with professionalism and are exceptionally detailed in the finished product. The result is a very pleasing, new kitchen look with fantastic designs. They truly exceed our expectations for this first project. We will hire them for additional work in the future."

"MA exceeded our expectations. Their designer knows her stuff, and her crew does an excellent job of executing the plan. Not only would I hire them again, I plan to work with them on an ongoing basis."

"Everything was done amazingly fast - in one day actually. They worked very hard and the final product was beautiful !"

"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."

"They are a great company, on time and do an excellent job! I will highly recommend and use them, again."

"Last week I had Trident Contracting replace my roof and siding, I couldn't be happier with the results. From the initial inspection with Nathan and Robert they both clearly explained all my options without any pressure, to the final cleanup, the entire process was seamless and stress-free. Nathan was great about working directly with my insurance company and providing them with all the necessary information. My insurance company didn’t make things easy and Nathan continued working with them to get the roof and siding approved due to storm damage. The crew was professional, arriving on time and working tirelessly throughout the day to finish the job in the same day. I was especially impressed with their attention to detail—they made sure to protect my landscaping and did an absolutely immaculate job cleaning up afterward. A project manager was on-site to ensure everything went smoothly and continued to follow up."

"Very polite professional and arrived on time!"

"Alex and his team recently remodeled our master bathroom. Now the bathroom looks like a picture from a magazine, a dream come true. Alex not only understood my vision but he also gave us professional and practical tips and even helped with the design details. The work was beyond reproach and I was continually consulted about various details. We also appreciated how careful the team was with our house and the fact that they thoroughly cleaned every space every day. Our bathroom looks amazing and we would recommend this company gladly."

"Juan did an excellent job. Very satisfied with the powerwashing and sealing of my patio."
