General Remodeling Group

General Remodeling Group has, so far, acted as a partner in this remodeling project. They are technically very competent and, faced with ineffectiveness in the participation of the architect we hired, have taken on their role, "free of charge." Their General Manager "Vidas" is a "Renaissance Man" in his multifaceted involvement. He acts as the customer service rep, a business manager, a work coordinator, a flexible scheduler, an architect, a designer and a psychologist. He has turned a very stressful situation into an enriching experience. The project is currently just a little past demolition but it is going fast.

Our experience with General Remodeling Group has been a pleasure from star to finish. They have keep their word and stay on target in budget and schedule. They are responsive to suggestions and have come up with creative suggestions to save money and improve the project. Overall they have been a pleasure to work with and I have no reservations in recommending them to anyone who need a reliable contracting company.

Kitchen remodeling went great with only a few minor hitches. Still awaiting final 3 light install, however.

The General Remoldeling Group has a talented and reliable group of carpenters. We wanted to finish our basement from start to finish in 6 weeks and we have a large basement (1,000 sq feet). They completed the job within schedude and their attention to detail and creativity was impressive. We will use them again in the future.

I am currently using General Remodeling for a bathroom renovation, and have used them for a powder room renovation as well. In both cases, I generally purchased the fixtures and the "designer" elements myself and they were responsible for the "guts" of the projects. Vidas is the project manager and he is excellent, always on top of things. He will call frequently to check on the status, update me on outstanding issues, meet with me at any time at tile shops, lumber yards, etc. To select certain items. Konstantine is the sub-contractor on my current bathroom renovation and he is also excellent, a very good craftsman. His English is not perfect (and my Russian is awful) but we manage to have very informative discussions during and at the end of each day, reviewing what he has done, any complications that might arisen, his suggestions for how certain details can be addressed (e.g. how should the base molding in front of the shower wall be addressed - he clearly shows me my options and lets me select from there). The current project included removal of a bathtub with shower door, toilet, vanity, light fixture, medicine cabinet, mirror. The tub area has been converted into a larger shower with 1" glass mosaic tile surround, bubble glass floor, a shower seat (also covered in glass mosaic). The walls have been smoothed, spackled, sanded and painted. The Robern recessed medicine cabinet has been installed. A ventilation fan has been moved so that is better located over the shower. A new light fixture has been installed over the vanity area. Everything looks great so far. The glass mosaic tile work takes a long time to layout, cut, set/install and clean, but now that's complete so I expect the rest of the project to be great.

General Remodeling Group was outstanding. They spent a lot of time with us up front to ensure that we would be comfortable with the service they were providing. They were courteous, professional, timely, clean, dependable and detail oriented. We will certainly use them again in the future.

General Remodeling refurbished our entire SFH in Chevy Chase, including over 20 new windows, an addition, a basement and landscaping. I have worked with contractors before and I can state with some confidence that their standard of work is first-class. Despite the difficulties of a young family living through a major remodeling, they were a pleasure to have around. Vidas, the project manager, is attentive to detail, always available to solve problems, and knowledgeable about his profession. Our project has been in very safe hands. Highly recommended.

Make sure you have Vidas coordinating the project and it should be a smooth job. He is very diligent in working through all of the details and making sure you get what you want. Workers were very reliable, clean and highly skilled. We're very satisfied with this company and would highly recommend them.
