"We absolutely love our basement! This was our first big home project and Mason was very patient and worked with us on the project size, scope and budget. Mason was extremely communicative throughout the renovation process and we always felt informed. In the midst of the pandemic, Mason and his team were always very safe. We will absolutely use Mason and his team again whenever we do another project"

"Ms. Carlene (the owner) joined her mover (Quincy) and they were great about moving the 2 desks (one from upstairs and the other from the basement) into the truck. She was patient with me as we tried to figure out what could fit. She was so professional and punctual. She worked with me (as I'm pregnant) to reschedule since I was organizing slower than I first planned.  I will be using her company again in the future.

"After finding Tillerman Gardens online and requesting an estimate for substantial hardscape/landscape work on our newly renovated house, we were pleasantly surprised to find out that Jesse, the owner, actually grew up in our neighborhood! On top of being a Takoma Park local, and an all around friendly, honest, business owner, we also came to learn that he does great work as well! His team completely transformed our hardscape areas, including installing a beautiful flagstone walkway and patio, a perfectly graded cement driveway, iron railings on our steps, and plants in a number of locations. On top of that, some of the work required some touch up and sealing and Jesse and his team have come out a couple of times later this spring to do that work unprompted. There's a little bit left, but I know they'll be around to finish it as they've taken care of us every step of the way. Even better, everything was done in budget. Look no further! These are your go to guys for all landscape/hardscape work in the area!"

"Steve Norfolk and his crew dug down to the footing and applied the waterproof material a section at a time.  The original plan was to dig the entire area first and then apply the waterproof material all at the same time.  However daily torrential rains turned the area into a sea of mud, so he decided to do it a section at a time to minimize problems associated with the rain.  He had to break up a concrete slab (porch) for 1/2 the front, and approximately 25 feet of driveway next to the house.  Progress was slow due to the rain and mud, but Steve steadfastly pursued the completion of the job despite the setbacks.  Although justifiably discouraged by the rain and lack of progress, he exhibited a positive "can do" attitude and kept at it.  The finished product was professionally done.  Backfill and all concrete were properly completed, and grass seed applied.  Steve is a conscientious professional who knows his business and can be relied upon to do the work he says he will accomplish.  I would use him again in a heartbeat.

"I am a Realtor and have been in the business full time for 20 years. I know how difficult it is to find good contractors. Willard Environmental is a family owned and run business and they could not have been more professional. They were fast, thorough, and responsive! I highly recommend them for your property needs."

"It went extremely well! They were punctual, hardworking and professional. It was necessary to dig up my neighbor's landscaping, so they were very careful to disturb only what was necessary and to restore everything to its original condition. They even replaced her broken underground downspout extension (which was draining into my basement!) without comment or additional charge. When my neighbor accused them of causing a problem, MJ was quick to respond and the team on-site made a point of apologizing to her in person. I don't think MJ caused the problem, so I was very impressed that they "went high" to investigate the matter and, as I said, apologize for the inconvenience she felt she suffered. The work they did inside to remove mold and seal the wall was thorough and neat. The gentleman doing the work cleaned up everything and took all of his equipment and trash with him. his is especially important since he was working with strong chemicals. My contact in the office was prompt to address anything I threw her way. It was easy to make payments online. Best of all - no sign of water in the basement since they were here!!"

"Surley is a perfectionist, he does outstanding work and is very professional. We are always delighted with all of his work. We trust Surley implicitly and know we are always getting top notch and talented work done."

"The company is very professional and kept me in the loop throughout the process.  We had unavoidable delays due to the wet weather, but Tom let me know every step of the way.  Our small back yard turned out lovely!"

"We were very happy with General Remodeling Group's quality of work, pricing, and communication. From the start, Vidas (the general contractor who led our basement remodel and stairs replacement) was communicative and very transparent about what would work best, look best, and the timeline for the project. We have a child too, and he was willing to work around our schedule so that it never felt like we were going through a huge remodel (even though we were). All the guys on his team were great and very professional. They cleaned the work site every day, and kept everything tidy. They were conscious to keep drywall dust out of the rest of the house, and keep the work-site safe and accessible too. We were able to see the progress everyday! Vidas and his team really were a "one-stop shop". They completed all the plans for the remodel, took out all the necessary permits, and scheduled follow up on all the inspections/permit close outs. They gave us a schedule as to when things would be completed, and a pay schedule accompanied that. They were also very transparent with that pay schedule, saying what was included, and what was not. There were times when we opted for an improvement or item that was not in our contract, and we, of course, paid extra for it. But there were also times when their team did not spend the full allowance on a certain item or improvement, and they gave us credit back (this was refreshing, as I imagine not many other contractors would be so clear about their pricing)! Not only was the pricing and communication great, the final result was too. They had VERY SKILLED professionals for each job - carpentry, framing, drywall, plumbing, electrical, hardwood flooring - each task had an expert. They shared their thoughts, and often gave us options we didn't know we had in our remodel. They always shared what they would do, before they did it, especially if it wasn't in the original plans. The quality of work was excellent. We are very satisfied with our new basement and stairs, highly recommend General Remodeling Group, and will certainly use them again!"

"Rui and his crew did a great job and communicated well. I'm very pleased with the result and highly recommend VRN Masonry. Thank you!"
