Get matched with top outdoor kitchen builders in Annapolis, MD

"Excellent experience from start to finish.  Dustin was the initial point person and he was very easy to work with.  The foreman came out in advance of the project to talk us through the details, to answer questions and to be sure he understood the scope of work directly rather than relying on engineering drawings.  The crew was punctual and professional.  They worked well beyond a regular work day in order to complete each stage of the project to meet the deadlines.  The final product was exactly as advertized.  We would highly recommend them to anyone.

"We love Ballard Enterprises!! We have been using their services for years. they do such a great job. they are prompt, cooperative efficient, and so dependable. The workers treat our property as if it was their own. When family and friends come over they always comment on our lawn and landscape saying "It looks so good! Your property looks like the White House lawn and gardens!!!" What better compliment can you get. I would highly recommend you give them a try. you will be happy you did."

"SBC did a fantastic job on my project. They far exceeded my expectations in all aspects. They communicated well, preformed the work in a timely manor and had great attention to detail. I will continue to use them for any an all outdoor projects and enthusiastically recommend them to my friends."

"How did it go? It was perfect. Any time QL agrees to a job, it's going to be A+ every time. I have used Mr. Lemus' company, Quality Landscape, on several different landscaping jobs. He was fair, thorough, prompt, courteous and does great work."

"7th state builders redid my kitchen floor and cabinets. The work was done beautifully."

"The East Coast crew did a GREAT JOB on our spring landscape cleanup, including mulching and cutting beds, trimming trees and bushes and clearing debris from the entire yard. They worked hard and left our landscape looking fresh, manicured and ready for the new outdoor season!"

"Jeff and his crew (Lusbin, Marvin, and Juan) were a pleasure to deal with and delivered impeccable service. Jeff is very interested in listening to your plans and willing to provide some options with creativity and professionalism. He's also happy to provide pricing guidance for ideas and works with you to meet your budget and design needs. We met with a half dozen hardscapers and every single one seemed to miss something (one forgot to include installation in the quote!). Jeff is detail oriented and sticks by what he builds. Lusbin, Marvin, and Juan are unstoppable and worked right through the dog days of summer. Jeff was also onsite nearly every day checking the site and progress. Example of his attention to detail: Due to a column from the deck we needed to expand the patio by about 6 inches (replacing some river stone). Honestly had he pointed it out, as they were working on it, we never would have noticed. His price was right in line with other quotes and we felt confident there were no hidden costs or surprises. A pleasure to deal with and we love our new back yard! We recommend him to friends, family, neighbors, and to you."

"Excellent work building our patio! A pleasure to work with, excellent communication, reasonable and transparent pricing, and was able to start within a few weeks of giving an estimate. Would definitely recommend and would hire again."

"Oscar and his team were fantastic to work with. They provided a timely estimate and worked with in our budget. We were highly impressed with their work, their professionalism, and their punctuality. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to build a patio."

"Although we have not moved forward yet to build our screened-in porch, James and his team at DesignBuilders will be the contractor I select when we do.  (Due to an unexpected health concern with a family member, we had to put our plans on hold.)   We want to add a 14? by 16? screened enclosure to our existing deck which is extremely high off of the ground.   While the other two contractors complained about this (one even charged extra for it) James was confident that he could build exactly what I wanted no matter what obstacles our location would present.
I interviewed three contractors for our project.   Their proposals all fell within $2000 of each other.  Yet James was by far the most professional and knowledgeable of the group.  The other two contractors merely pencil-drew their vision of the porch while James and his team provided a computer-aided design (cad cam) of the proposed porch.  When I called to set up the initial appointment, James asked me to first send him a few pictures of my project area, a site survey (plat), and a brief description of what my project entails. 
Jodie, his designer (who is amazing and very personable!) then used this information to set up an online meeting.  For those of you who have never experienced an online meeting, don?t let it intimidate you ? Jodie is so helpful; she will walk you right through it.  Jodie builds a sample design for your project so you can give instant feedback and make necessary design changes right on the spot.  The online meeting is a starting point.  Next is the site visit by James and his team, who, because of the preliminary online meeting, arrive with a good working knowledge of your project.   Unlike your average contractor, James is ahead of the game and can provide you with much more detail about what you can expect when the project is completed. 
Because my roof lines were so complicated, Jodie came to my home to make sure she had all of the information she needed.  Just like James, Jodie is very professional and very easy to talk to.  She immediately put me at ease.  The cad cam designs she prepared gave me a clear picture of the different roof options (gable, shed, flat, etc.).  They also showed how the porch would attach to my house from several points of view.  This gave me a very detailed picture of what the finished project would look like.  All contractors should offer this approach!  It allows you to tweak and modify the design to your exact specifications. 
Next Jodie, James and Edward (another awesome DesignBuilder team member) came to my house and spent more than an hour suggesting a variety of options and some alternative approaches for me to consider - some I would never have thought of. They came up with some excellent solutions to the problems associated with our complicated roofline issue.  We settled on a design that met all of my needs while keeping the project within my budget. 
When James sent me his proposal, I felt very confident that he included pricing for every stage of the project, with no hidden fees or surprises.  James and his team prepared two design options, each with detailed pricing and a cad cam picture of how the finished product would look.  I loved both options, so I have the flexibility to pick the one that best fits my needs when I?m ready to start the project.
James has several videos on YouTube (search ?James Moylan builder?) and at his website http://www.designbuildersmd.com  that show his building process from beginning to end.  These videos will clear up any doubts you might have about the quality of his work or his experience in the field.   His is extremely knowledgeable, his team offers the level of professionalism and comfortable communication that is very hard to find among builders and remodelers, and every person I?ve talked with DesignBuilders has shown a genuine interest in my building project. 
Without a doubt, when we are ready to move forward with our project, DesignBuilders will be the contractor we hire! 
(Note:  This review was written by an actual homeowner in Columbia, MD.  I am not connected financially in any way with DesignBuilders.  In fact, I first became aware of Design Builders by searching Angie's List myself!  I am a homeowner who believes it is important to recognize and document great service by a contractor and share it with the Angie's List community.  In this way, we all benefit.  Good luck with your project!)
