"Jose worked on my townhouse for 2 days. He came by my house quickly for an estimate. He was very responsive and punctual, which is rare for contractors. He brought along another guy the first day. The second day he had 2 guys. He did a great job fixing the walls and ceiling. They also clean up pretty well. Jose had to come back on a 3rd day to fix two stubborn spots on the ceiling that wouldn't dry. It is now fixed and looks good. His prices seem pretty fair too. I liked his work so much, I'm having him come back for more work around my house."

"They did an outstanding job putting in drywall in our unfinished basement."

"It will be difficult to write a review that adequately describes the magnificent job this contractor has done for us, especially under very trying circumstances. 
Our finished basement was flooded and had to be virtually gutted. Our basement includes a great room, bed and bath, store room, large pantry/utility room and radio studio/office.
It was an insurance job and I could tell some contractors didn't want to work with an insurance company--now I know why. More about that later.
I meticulously went through Angie's list and read every review for contractors in the Northern Virginia area. I came up with a list of five or six that were in the area after reviewing their description, websites and customer reviews. They all seemed to be top-of-the line contractors. I don't know how I would have done this without Angie's list as a guide. I also took a bid from a contractor I got from another source.
I called each contractor and arranged appointments for a bid. I took notes on each interview and awaited their proposals. First, the interviews.
I was surprised that several of the contractors took very few notes--I was giving extensive, detailed and specific information because I obviously wanted all the bids to be based upon the same end-product--an apples to apples bid, in other words. A few of the contractors seemed to think they had total recall, and their bids showed it. They added things I didn't ask for, and forgot items I had been very specific about-- I was surprised. Jason, of Envision, along with one other contractor, took very good notes, which was evidenced by his bid. 
One contractor never got around to giving me a final bid. His original "plan" was very far off from what I asked. The other bids were MUCH higher than Jason's. Now remember, this was an insurance job. While I didn't want to deliberately give the insurance company the highest bid possible, I certainly had no reason to just go with the lower bid--especially when the other bids were clumped together at a much higher figure. So why did I go with Envision Custom Builders?
Jason Mills, the owner.  Unlike the other builders, Jason's presentation and bid were flawless.
Enthusiasm and Energy
Jason will blow your mind. He comes in ready to go! He's all business and obviously loves what he does. He offers very good suggestions, many of which are intended to save you money. He never had his mind on another of his jobs when he was working with me--I received his complete attention. 
Quality  From the first meeting, I arrived at the impression that quality workmanship was what I was going to get if I went with Jason. He really knows what he is doing. Quality is my highest priority and I knew I would get this with him. I was right.
Trustworthy and Frugal As I said above, he offered several money-saving suggestions. (like on the cabinet grade)--that doesn't add to his bottom line but he's obviously not in the business to take advantage of his clients. In all our discussions, changes and add-ons, he was always fair with his costs. This is the kind of thing that gives you great peace-of-mind when you're engaged in a high-stress project like repairing flood damage. For that matter, any major remodel is stressful. We've all heard stories about contractors who give a bid and then nickel and dime you into a much higher bottom line. This alone would be reason to choose Envision.  I have a very sensitive "gut" with people--I know when I am being manipulated or played. Jason is a straight shooter--I never once had that nagging feeling with him that  I dread working with contractors.
Punctual to a fault--if that could be possible! Just kidding.
For our first appointment, Jason arrived 30 minutes early--I thought I was late! He explained that he is never late, always arrives early and waits in the driveway or on the street until the apointment time. He was true to his word--he never came even one minute late to our appointments--amazing.
Excellent Documentation He always documented changes immediately and forwarded the documents to me ASAP. If he missed something--he immediately made the correction.
Organization and Communication Jason always knew what was going on, on the job. He was always on top of the schedule. He is a prolific emailer--keeping you informed every step of the way. He answers his phone! And he returns calls he misses--every time. He is available--that's important. He also never hesitated to go over details that in my opinion would make the difference between a mediocre and high quality finish.
So how did it go?
Dependable His people and he NEVER failed to show up on the job. He never missed an appointment.
Great Workers: His workers and subcontractors are dependable, punctual, clean, friendly and respectful. Their work ethic was excellent. I can'give them higher marks. Let me give you an example: I am a very meticulous person, very detail oriented. I selected a gorgeous wood-look tile for the floor of the great room, bath and kitchen. The tiles have a great number of variations in pattern--giving the finish product an incredible real-wood look. But I didn't want the tiles to be laid down just anyway. I asked Jason and the workers to lay the tile in a very random pattern. Jason encouraged me to lay the tile out just like I wanted it. In the evening a couple times, I went down to the basement and laid out first row of tiles along the wall so there would be no mistake. His tile setters followed it to a "T"--the flooring is gorgeous! BTW, I saw the same tile laid out differently on a website, very regimented and regular--it looked like a tile floor trying hard to be wood--the difference was startling. Their willingness to do it my way really paid off.
Working with the Insurance and Mortgage Company This is where my project almost derailed. I have never worked with a construction job relying on payment by an insurance company that had to be administered through the mortgage company. Because of a lack of communication on the part of my insurance adjuster, I had no idea that the mortgage company would need to be involved. My mortgage company's customer service is conducted out of India. What made the process so unwieldy and time consuming was the fact that no representative is assigned to the project from start to finish. I literally spoke to dozens of representatives--never once the same person twice. I had to repeat the same story every time. I won't go into the details--suffice it to say, it was a nightmare. Jason didn't get the money he was promised after the first check to cover the expenditures of the tile, cabinets and doors! We waited weeks and weeks for the check. Obviously this is NOT how a contractor can work. He was paying workers and contractors and getting no money to cover the costs. Finally the checks came in. I don't know if his experience has ruined Jason for further insurance work, you'd have to ask him. My advice to anyone is, call your mortgage company immediately and get their policy. Once the insurance check reached the $10K mark, they instituted an array of policies that delayed the cutting of the checks.  We had a lot of paperwork that had to be completed and faxed. We had to endorse checks and send them to the company for endorsement and dispersal. Every single part of the process was attended by days or weeks of processing and delay.They also lost some faxes. Do this early in the process!
Despite the terrible experience Jason had with me and my job, when we resolved the "problem"  we were back on track immediately. Jason was professional as always and we remained on good terms. I don't think every contractor would have put up with what Jason did.
Summary
When I was looking"

"I think this system is quite pricey and was reluctant to have it installed because of the price.  However, the sales person was willing to work with me to tweak my plan to get the price to a more palatable level for me.  The system certainly does keep the garage a lot more organized and much, much cleaner.  On the day of installation the team arrived right on time.  They introduced themselves and reviewed with me what they would be doing.  They worked steadily all day until they finished and before they left they reviewed the project with me.  They were polite and congenial.  I have had to have them come back since  the installation to deliver 2 shelves that were not in stock when the system was installed and to change out 2 accessories that I wanted to exchanged.  On each occasion they were prompt and professional.  I received a follow-up call from the office to be sure that everything was to my liking.  I found this company to be very customer oriented and responsive.

"Friendly's Painting was amazing from beginning to end.  I got estimates from three companies for this job.  Friendly's representative Tom came out on time, was professional, answered my questions, and didn't try to up-sale me on any of the work.  He told me the best ways to get the job done and save money, such as using the same color that was already on the wall instead of changing to white.  That way we would only need one coat of paint instead of two.  The work team was on time, very professional, and worked with great efficiency.  The "bosses" checked in on the crew during the process and made sure I was satisfied with the work.  This team took great care to remove bathroom mirrors before painting so if I ever want to change mirror shapes I won't have that unpainted area behind the mirror.  That is the attention to detail that I really appreciate.  
This was the most efficient, professional, and courteous company I have ever worked with from beginning to end and considering that I dealt with probably eleven representatives (estimator, scheduler, painters, inspectors, owner) throughout the process, this is saying a lot.  Each person was top-notch. Reasonably priced and the home looks great!  I highly recommend them and will use them again for my painting needs."

"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!)

"Good very helpful been working with us for past 20 years. He dose all our remodeling and build a house for us."

"Miguel and William did a great job they were punctual every day and did really good quality work! I would definitely hire them again--in fact I already did. We originally called them for flooring installation after flossing and then we were so happy with their work we also asked them to fix wood rot on our doormers. They did a great job and recommended supplies that would withstand weather and last longer."
