Get matched with top carport (wood) builders in Washington, DC

"Went very well. He estimate promptly and repaired timely without a hitch. Also redid wooden flooring stair. Already have recommended the company to a friend."

"Mason and his team did a wonderful job. It was a complex job to build a garage with the dimensions of my garage and they did everything. They lined the entire interior with tongue and groove wood panels, which look great. They were prompt and reliable and the work itself was superior. I'd highly recommend using them for your construction needs. Mason takes great pride in his work and was very responsive throughout the process."

"Great job by Manny’s! This 1 bedroom condo had dirty walls, holes and hadn’t been painted in a decade. Manny gave a reasonable estimate for the job and when it took a little longer and required more paint, he didn’t charge more. Now the condo looks like a modern beauty! Manny communicated by text and email, and he was flexible and accommodated my client’s needs who is out of state. I am a real estate agent and I will recommend Manny’s to all my clients!"

"We used an Angie's List coupon for the work and got about $2000 off of the total bill.
The garage looks great, AND, I think they could do a better job of
installation in two ways: they need to include a peice of wood
underneath the wall, to close off the space between the original garage
wall and the new wall material. This way, rodents can't climb through
and access open spaces that may have been there before the installation.
Also, I felt that for the price, the clean up could have been a little
better and the communication after the sale could have been more prompt
and attentive.
That being said, the crew showed up on the day
they were scheduled, though not at the time I thought, and they worked
quickly, pulled everything in and out of the garage, and put things away
(though not in an organized way). It would also be nice, for the price,
to spend an extra hour at the home arranging things where the client would like them.

"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!)

"They did a good job. I am happy with the slab they build for me. Price is a lot more reasonable than the other two quotes I got. Highly recommended."

"We had some wood rotting just below an exterior door leading to our family room. I was hoping that just that piece of wood could be replaced, but another handyman who does small jobs for us had declined to do the repair -- so he must have suspected it was a much bigger job than that, which it was. I finally got a crow bar and yanked off that piece of rotten wood, and could then see that not only had the door frame rotted away in one area, the wall nearby also had a lot of rot. Jeovanni from Rent-A-Pro Handyman had to replace the door and remove the nearby siding in order to replace all the rotten wood in the wall. He was here a good 12 hours, including a trip to Home Depot for the new door. He did a great job, and had to cancel his afternoon appointments to get it all done in one day. Total cost was $1,100. this was a much bigger job than typical handyman work. I appreciated that he snapped photos with his phone to show me all the work he did."
