This was a wonderful experience. From the initial design work to the final touches the project has gone very well. The only negative was the stress of initial planning and deciding what we wanted versus what we could afford. We put on a large addition - a great room/ kitchen and a screened porch. Our project manager Justin was incredible. He was always available and responsive to our needs. We would notice something we had a question about and email or text him and we received an immediate reply. Everything was dealt with promptly. The sub contractors were also all amazing. They were incredibly hard working, often arriving before we left or work and still there when we returned. The project moved along quickly but with attention to detail. We are very happy with the results. We have a beautiful new home. Glickman Design Build was very attentive to the overall results. Our whole first floor was painted and the floors were redone to match throughout the first floor. This is quality work. It is also very solid - we hardly hear the wind and storms outside when we sit in the addition. We are not so sure about the strength of the old part of our house but we feel this new addition was well built with high quality.

They were very professional and accommodating to my questions and requests. They made sure I got the countertop I want and worked with us on our budget.

Glickman designed and built a multi-generational home for us. It included popping off the roof and adding a new floor/level above the existing home. We are very pleased with the design. We plan to begin construction as soon as the financing is setup. Glickman is helping us line up financing.

Glickman Design Build designed and constructed a whole house remodel. The scope included a new master suite, hall bathroom, in-law suite, family room, garage, storage over the garage, mud room, & powder room. We are very pleased and so are others who see it. We recommend them to friends and plan to use them again.

Glickman remodeled two bathrooms and built a deck for us. The remodeling is beautiful. We especially enjoy the feel and look of the master bathroom. They removed a wall and opened up the space. It is larger and lighter...before the remodel it felt cramped and dark. We use it every day. Everyone who sees it is impressed. We recommend Glickman and plan to use them again.

We hired Glickman to design and remodel our home in Falls Church, VA. Their designer, Jill had very creative design ideas and she was a real pleasure to work with. They showed me amazing 3d renderings so I know what it would look like before we began construction. During construction, the guys were punctual, very pleasant and kept up updated throughout the job. We and everyone who sees it are impressed. We refer Glickman to friends and plan to use them again.

My new Home for Life: Glickman Design Build completed a project which allows us to stay in our home for as long as we wish. The remodel and expansion includes the typical aspects: kitchen, bathrooms, larger family room and also a zero step entry and zero step entry to master bedroom/bathroom suite. We are quite pleased. The space is handicap accessible but does NOT look like it is. We are very pleased and we feel it will add to resale value if it is sold at some point by us or our kids.

Glickman built a major two story addition, kitchen, master suite...As satisfied clients we want to express our sincere gratitude. Only minor changes had to be made during construction. We are very pleased with the final product. The project receives the highest compliments from all visitors who see it, both for the beauty of the room and the quality of the construction

I am very pleased with my decision to choose Glickman to design and build my custom home on my own lot. I needed a fully accessible home but did not want it to seem handicapped in any shape or form. Russ Glickman's team was wonderful. Creative design, attention to detail, superior craftsmanship, and great friendly people! I would use them again and I highly recommend Russ to friends.

Russ Glickman's team saw our vision and transformed it into the masterpiece we have today. The plans and contract superbly depicted our goals at a reasonable price... Every phase far exceeded our expectations. I want to extend an EXCEPTIONALLY WELL DONE to all the Glickman team involved in this project. All phases of our construction were completed on schedule and precisely on price.

I spoke with 6 firms: two architects, two general contractors and two design/build firms. I met with 4 firms including Glickman Design Build. Glickman was not the lowest nor the highest, but they seemed to have the best creative ideas/solutions. I chose them and I am happy I did. I am thrilled with the results and with the experience. I would use them again and I highly recommend them to friends.

Russ Glickman designed & remodeled my kitchen. I am very pleased with my decision to use them the final product, the service during design & construction, the quality of work and the dedication of all involved. The project went smoothly and Glickman���s team arrived every day, on time and cleaned up each day. I highly recommend the firm. They will build my first floor master suite as I age-in-place.

We undertook this master suite addition project with some trepidation since we had heard the usual horror stories from people who had dealt with companies who started projects then took forever to finish them. Not only was the job finished in the time called for, it turned out beautifully. I want to personally commend your team for making our remodeling experience a most rewarding venture. We absolutely love our new master suite and bath. Thanks again.

Russ Glickman & his team were knowledgeable, courteous and thoughtful. They really took the time to uncover my current and future needs. They patiently held my hand through the entire design/build process. I want to say a special thank you to Justin for going over and above. He even watched my boys for a couple of hours when an emergency came up. Everyone who sees the work is impressed. I am glad I chose Glickman. I'd use them again and strongly refer them to friends.

Glickman Design/Build designed & built a 2 story addition masterpiece. It contained a family room and kitchen on the main level and a master bedroom/bathroom/closet on the top level. I was very pleased with the entire process from design thru construction. Russ knows how to put a project together. He is a great orchestrator and has attracted a multitude of talent. All involved took great pride in their work. They treated us and our space very respectfully. Overall a very satisfactory experience. I'd use them again and I've recommended them to friends

Russ Glickman built an addition and expanded and remodeled our kitchen and bathroom. We highly recommend Russ Glickman to friends and would not hesitate to use Glickman again. Congratulations to GDB on their recent national awards. Being named one of the Top50 remodelers in the nation by Remodeling Magazine was quite an honor! I also congratulate Russ on his recent Regional Chrysalis Award for Universal design which he earned by helping a family recover from tragedy after the death of a father who cared for a child with significant physical challenges. Russ is trustworthy and talented.

Glickman Design Build completed an accessible renovation for us. They designed and built an accessible in-law suite to meet the needs of my aging parents. The firm has a specialty in this type of work. They had creative ideas and their work was top notch. I wholeheartedly recommend them.

Russ Glickman recently completed a whole house design and renovation for us. We had Russ' team design and build a large addition, an elevator, a master suite, a kitchen expansion and remodel and other renovations. Originally, I planned to get several estimates. Russ was the 2nd appointment. After meeting Russ, I knew he was the right professional for our project. Russ asked lots of questions, and not only understood our concerns, but he helped uncover our needs. His team was respectful of our property, they cleaned up well, the project was on time, on budget and of award winning quality. It is totally accessible but does not even appear to be

We wanted to stay in our home until they carry us out feet first! Therefore, we wanted to make our home fully wheelchair accessible; with a caveat�we did not want it to look at all wheelchair accessible! Russ Glickman was the perfect choice for this project. Russ has not only has 30+ years of award winning remodeling experience, but he also has personal experience with accessible remodeling. Russ has a son Mike with Cerebral Palsy who has lived at home and has been confined to a wheelchair for 23 years. If you are considering a accessible design/build you MUST talk with Russ! I highly recommend Glickman Design Build over and above all others!
