Get matched with top designers/decorators in Fairfax Station, 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."

"Jaber construction was prompt in their response and worked hard to finish the job quickly. We had plumbing issues in our master shower and they were honest and did only the work needed!!! Very friendly and easy to work with . I would use them again for other projects absolutely!"

"I called Jessica when my regular decorator was unable to help me redecorate my bathrooms and I was not disappointed! Jessica responds to all questions and phone calls almost immediately and I absolutely love her choices. My husband was not excited about updating our bathrooms until he saw Jessica’s mood-boards and now even he can’t wait to get started on the project. My only concern is that once the bathrooms are complete we will want to do more updating! Thank you Jessica and Dani! Would definitely recommend. I am a retired real estate agent so I have worked with many home stagers and decorators throughout my 35 year career and I think Jessica’s talents are among the best."

"Knowledgeable, creative, reliable designer, able to understand and accommodate client's ideas and existing space and design features. I especially appreciated the transparency of the website: options, pricing, deliverables, etc. She provided an excellent final design, "Z-Box, " with options; overall, we were pleased with this. However, it would have been better if two or three different rough sketches to choose from were provided early on in the process; the client's selection and feedback then could be developed into the final plan."

"From the first consult to the final product, Henry, Paola and the crew were wonderful! Communication was thorough and emails were answered within hours. The crew were professional, highly skilled, and very efficient. The final product is above and beyond what we expected! We recommended FM&H to several people who have passed by our house and local friends as well."

"I have worked with Nathan on several projects ranging from our deck, roof, kitchen, and recently our bathroom. He has always been professional, informative, and easy to work with. What has always stood out to me is his integrity and commitment to providing excellent service and responsiveness. We have used other contractors prior to using Nathan and he stands out above the others as he has always gone the extra distance where the others didn’t. I have referred him to friends and they have always shared positive feedback which is why I am always happy to refer him to people I know. I would highly recommend Nathan and his company Trident Contracting whether it’s a bathroom or any other remodel or construction project. It’s rare today to find a contractor that stands behind their work and follows through on their commitment which is why I highly recommend Nathan and Trident Contracting."

"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."

"Shaid Aslam and Ky Chau are the best designers. The house had a very small and old fashioned kicthen and bathroom. now I have the kitchen and bathroom of my dreams"

"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."

"JP Landscaping wowed me from the minute they started work until the time they finished. I have truly never worked with a better contractor and crew than this group. We hired them to help correct a drainage issue on the side of our back yard that was allowing water flow toward our home during strong storms. Jose met with us and determined a plan to add a wall to hold the water and push toward the drainage system they added so that water would flow to the road and not toward our house. It turned out to be beautiful and functional! He has the hardest working and most professional crew!"
