"Doug and his men are hard working and conscientious. Doug is very particular about things being done right. That is a good quality, because he builds as though he is building for himself, so you know he is on top of the project. Price is very reasonable."

"I was a little nervous about ordering windows on the internet using measurements I'd taken myself, but I loved the design on the website so, initially I only ordered 2 windows to check the quality, my ability to measure accurately and the company's ability to build to my measurements. Jeff, the salesman I dealt with was attentive without being overwhelming and the first order was delivered in about 4 weeks. The windows were exactly what I was looking for and fitting them was a breeze. I followed up with another order for the remaining 13 windows in my porch and again, they arrived quickly, were of great quality, exactly to size and easy to fit. Looking forward to see how they last their first winter."

"I phoned Walsh Home Improvements initially to get in contact with a structural engineer.  They recommended an excellent engineer who inspected the building and wrote a letter outlining necessary repairs.  Ken Walsh met with the engineer and then sent us a competitive price.  Ken was prompt and professional.  He was also available to meet with us over a holiday weekend.  He ordered the materials and did the work in a timely manner.  We will likely use his company in the future for other repairs/renovations. <br />"

"We just finished a spectacular custom home project in McLean, VA and we are so very grateful to Seth Ballard and his team! If you are considering hiring his firm, look no further. There can be no better architect in the DC/VA/MD area – and his pricing is more than fair. We first picked Seth because we loved his architectural style and heard that he had a reputation for ensuring that his plans are executed with impeccable precision and attention to quality. Also, his references were stellar….without exception, his former clients offered glowing praise for his talent, diligence, and follow-through. And now that we are former clients, we understand why. We always knew we were going to have a gem of a home with Seth at the helm. What we did not fully appreciate at the beginning was his proven ability to help us STAY ON BUDGET and his deep bench of connections with first-rate contractors and subcontractors who were prepared to bend over backward to meet Seth’s exacting standards. Here are just a few highlights from our experience: CONCEPT PHASE: During the initial meetings at our home, Seth went the extra mile to learn all about our lifestyle, future needs, architectural likes/dislikes, and budget. During this stage of the process, he would effortlessly make freehand drawings to help us visualize potential styles and layouts. We ultimately elected to go with a craftsman design, with lots of wood features inside and out. PICKING THE RIGHT PROPERTY: Seth joined us for car rides through the local neighborhoods, helping us to scout out the property that was best suited for our construction plans – free of any potential HOA or permitting snafus. DESIGN: With Seth’s guidance, we iterated on different design options. The design phase was high-tech and highly visual. Lots of 2D and 3D elevations, plus 360-degree videos. At each step, Seth clearly identified the estimated construction cost, and we would make decisions about what to dial-up and what to dial-down. For example, we elected to go with a cheaper asphalt roof (rather than slate), but with a more premium window. There were literally dozens of choices like that, and Seth did a superb job of helping us to make the right trade-offs and to “value engineer” the house. PICKING THE RIGHT CONTRACTOR AND SUBS: One of the things that distinguishes Seth from the competition is that he works closely with a handful of contractors and subcontractors who have already been “pre-screened” for excellence. Seth connected us with a general contractor who was not only honest and diligent, but whose carpentry was truly “artisan grade.” Seth also drew upon a stable of outstanding subcontractors – in areas such as HVAC/plumbing, electrical/lighting, structural engineering, cabinetry, tile, drywall/paint, countertops, hardwood flooring, landscaping, etc. It was perfectly clear that these subs were striving to deliver the highest quality and exemplary service. Why? Because Seth was an important source of repeat business for them. This made them extremely responsive. BUDGETING: Seth developed detailed spreadsheets estimating costs for every aspect of the project, as well as options for “enhancements.” Once we made our choices, he was instrumental in securing a FLAT FEE CONTRACT with the builder (inclusive of subs) for everything we wanted. To provide even more control over the cost, the agreement specified that certain items would be “owner provided, contractor installed.” This meant that, regardless of whether we bought pricey appliances or tile or flooring, it would have no impact of the builder’s fees. To his credit, Seth’s estimates were quite accurate, and the project stayed on budget. ARCHITECT FEES: We negotiated a flat fee for Seth’s architectural services, and got way more than we bargained for. We had no idea Seth would stay so engaged throughout the project -- micromanaging every detail, and even offering interior design suggestions (e.g., stains and paints, cabinet and window designs, furniture layouts, etc.). It became clear that, regardless of how much we had agreed to pay in fees, Seth was “all in,” and was committed to ensuring that the end result was perfection. To be sure, in any large construction project, there will be some hiccups. But this was yet another area where Seth shined. Rather than being indifferent, or pointing the finger at those who were actually at fault, he would step up to “own the problem” and take charge until the issue was resolved. In one such case, he developed a design tweak that saved us money and produced a more beautiful result in the process. We never had to stress too much, because we knew Seth was 100% engaged and we could trust that the final work product would be a treasure of a home. One final thought. While Seth’s tremendous talent is obviously perfect for large custom projects, we have no doubt that he can deliver outstanding value for smaller home renovations too. When we did kitchen/bath renovations in our prior home, we naively thought that a “design-and-build” firm would deliver the best solution. With the benefit of hindsight, we could have done so much better hiring Seth as the independent architect and separately hiring a builder who would be accountable to the architect. The result would have been better quality construction, a better value, and far less stress. So whether you are about to embark on a modest remodel or getting ready to “dream big” with a new custom home, look no further than Ballard Mensua Architecture."

"Everything went perfectly. Al Cleaver came out, with a good knowledge of what color our existing floor is, and provided us several alternatives/choices that would match. We had seen three previous flooring stores, and somehow nothing seemed to work out. We put down our deposit, and arranged for the wood to be delivered and acclimated in our home prior to installation. Every appointment was kept, on time, and communication was excellent. They did a superior job installing and within the timeframe we were told. Any mess was kept to a minimum, and cleaned up. Highly recommend this company. I have recommended this company to my neighbor and realtor."

"I was in the process of listing my house for sale when I contacted this company. They painted two rooms in my house, pressure washed and stained the deck, as well as some other issues. I was very satisfied with the cost and the quality of the work. I highly recommend Veronica and her team."

"Excellently. Anthony is a good communicator, courteous, gets the job, and definitely reliable. If you're looking to get a job I would definitely recommend Anthony."

"Amazing service,product and people. They showed up right on time, replaced large screens on the ocean front deck using screening appropriate for the salt air, replaced the screens on our porch doors that had been blown out when Sandy came through. All this was done on site in one day. Fabulous operation. <br />"

"When purchasing an older home, I knew I needed a lot of updating done. I needed someone who was going to be prompt and efficient when taking on this big job. When doing my initial estimate they were thorough and very honest; there was no hidden cost and they stuck to the timeframe they gave me. They even suggested ways on how to make the most out of the space I had, which really helped open up my kitchen area! Everything turned out beautiful, it looks like a completely different house. The quality of work is what stood out the most to me, they didn't cut corners! Very professional and reliable. Will use again and highly recommend to anyone in need of a great contractor!"

"Brain Weese <br /> Weese <br /> Remodeling, LLC <br /> 2201 Main <br /> Street. Suite 4 <br /> <br /> Chester, MD <br /> 21619 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> December 10, <br /> 2013 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Dear Brian – <br /> <br /> So often we do not take the time to let <br /> people and businesses know about great experiences, hence the purpose of my <br /> letter to you today! <br /> <br /> When we bought our new home back in <br /> September, quickly we noticed it lacked an office/library space, which is major <br /> priority considering both Andrew and I work from home. Our home is not at all lacking in beautiful <br /> and detailed finishes, but an office was needed and it needed to compliment the <br /> rest of the home. We decided to turn the <br /> “formal living room” (right off the main entrance to the house), into our home <br /> office/library. That decision put us on <br /> a frustrating path to obtain a substantial book shelf unit, executive desk etc. <br /> <br /> A somewhat nice and substantial <br /> furniture set for the room was going to run us anywhere from 8K to 10K, which <br /> was more than we wanted to spend on furniture that did not include solid wood <br /> or custom finishes. (Ethan Allen, Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware etc). <br /> <br /> The above brought us to visit your <br /> website, (which we saw advertised on our kids school folder) from there, what a <br /> great decision we made to go with a custom built in unit for our office! <br /> <br /> I drew a picture for you on a piece of <br /> scrap paper, from there, you were able to take measurements, scope out the job <br /> and forward me a picture perfect rendition of what I wanted! We were even able to work together to ensure <br /> we stayed on budget. <br /> <br /> It took me over a week to agree to the <br /> contract, which you very professionally put together and sent to us within days <br /> of visiting our home. Even with that, <br /> your team was able to install the unit before Thanksgiving (which was my wish), <br /> just short of 4 weeks after we agreed to move forward! <br /> <br /> Let me take a moment to tell you how <br /> wonderful Craig was with the install. <br /> Craig informed us via email when he would be at our home, along with a <br /> timeline for completion. Craig showed up <br /> just as expected daily, worked very hard and got the job done just in time for <br /> Thanksgiving dinner! Craig was a joy to <br /> have in our home and was patient with everyone looking on as he worked. Craig was very diligent in ensuring <br /> cleanliness as he worked and used drop cloths going in and out of the house to <br /> ensure our floors were protected. (It <br /> rained 2 of the 3 days during the install) <br /> Craig was careful to alert me before he needed to interrupt our wireless <br /> or phones service also, which was greatly appreciated as we needed to work from <br /> home during the construction. <br /> <br /> Finally, the finished product – WOW, it <br /> exceeded our expectations in every possible way. I’m so impressed with the solid wood, tongue <br /> and groove drawers and the substantial size of the overall unit. We could not be happier with the entire <br /> experience with your company! <br /> <br /> I assure you more business from us and a <br /> referral to you company to everyone we know! <br /> Please feel free to share our contact information with anyone that asks <br /> for a reference. Thank you so much for <br /> the beautiful office. <br /> <br /> Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Tara and Andrew - Kent Island Maryland"
