PACE Design & Construction
Affordable New & Custom Home Builders in Washington D.C.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 21, 2022
“PACE is a one of a kind design + build firm. I just can’t say enough good things about them! First off, they do great work and do it in a very transparent and fair way. The customer service is off the charts, the quality of their craftsmanship is incredible, and the overall experience of working with true professionals in the building and remodeling industry is so valuable to the success of a project. Between Seth, Jordan, Terris, Yuri, Brad and the rest of the crew, you won’t be sorry to have chosen this company for your next Project. Thanks for everything!!”
Alair Homes Arlington
Affordable New & Custom Home Builders in Washington D.C.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 14, 2013
“In the past we used a design/build company and did not feel that we had control over the process or the budget. When we reviewed the bill we found the mark-up was excessive, especially when sub-contractors were used for most of the work. This time around we chose to use Chad with Arlington Construction Mangement because of the ability to control expenses, choose the products used in building our addition and select our own sub-contractors. The ability to get several estimates and meet the subs for each trade beforehand made a huge difference in our experience. We completed our project 2 months earlier than predicted and were able to stay within budget. We ended up saving 28% from our lowest bid and we were able to use upgraded products along the way. Chad gave us great advice, support and knowledge to help us through our project. I know we would not have received the same personal service from any other builder. We would use Chad again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking into building.”
JDS Construction Services LLC
Affordable New & Custom Home Builders in Washington D.C.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 5, 2013
“JDS finished our basement and did a wonderful job! Very professional, quality work, attention to detail, kept us continually informed of the process. There were no long holdups or extended periods of time when they did not work, which is a common complain I hear about contractors. Our basement was done in a timely fashion and we love it!”
Timberlake Design Build
Affordable New & Custom Home Builders in Washington D.C.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 29, 2013
“We hired Timberlake to do an extensive renovation of our home in 2009. They were a pleasure to work with during every step of the process. Dave Lunden was honest, very reliable and extremely organized. The project was finished on time and on budget. It progressed exactly as he said that it would with no hidden costs or delays. The Project Manager and all of the subcontractors were a pleasure to deal with on a daily basis. They shared in our enthusiasm, were polite, highly skilled, hard working and responsive. I have spoken with several people who have had extensive renovations done to their home and frequently it was a stressful and unpleasant experience for them. I can honestly say that our experience with Timberlake was the opposite. Since the renovation I have contacted them several times for questions about materials or warranties and they have always responded to my requests immediately. If we were ever to renovate another home we would definitely use Timberlake.”
Signature Dream Homes
Affordable New & Custom Home Builders in Washington D.C.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 29, 2018
“After interviewing many contractors, we selected Rick Oliver and Signature Dream Homes for our complete kitchen gut/remodel. It involved lots of tricky aspects due to the age of the house, but his team of professionals handled it all with no problem. We are delighted with the results and always get compliments whenever someone visits. Best of all, Rick is honest. despite facing hidden hurdles in the job, he never tried to rip us off with "change orders." You can trust him to do a great job at the price he quotes.”
O'Hennon Builders
Affordable New & Custom Home Builders in Washington D.C.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 29, 2015
“I contracted the services of O'Hennon Builders on two different occasions. Once was building our home with the total square footage of over 3500, and the other was an extention of a two story screen-in deck over 750 square feet. Both jobs turned out outstanding. I was always able to reach the contractor or his office if I had any questions or wanted modifications to our plans. We were able to keep within our budget and his crew was very respectful and worked very well together.”
Asta Homes
Affordable New & Custom Home Builders in Washington D.C.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 8, 2019
“"We were looking to build a luxurious, high-quality, custom home in Great Falls, VA. After selecting our site and creating architectural plans, we began a detailed and competitive bidding process to find the right builder. After evaluating 4 different proposals, we finally settled on Asta Homes and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. Mr. Tariq and Mr. Asad were able to use their extensive knowledge of building a custom home and structural engineering to bring our vision for our dream home come to life. Their attention to detail, flexibility throughout the process, and ability to work closely with our designer made the process smooth and enjoyable. However what really makes this duo stand apart is their reliability, sincerity, onsite presence and active involvement. Our beautiful home would not have been possible without these two and we highly recommend them."”

“Absolutely outstanding contractor and builder! Over the course of many years I have worked with dozens of contractors on multiple projects, including construction of a custom home, but I have never encountered a more professional, reliable and dedicated organization than Corey Alan Homes. Gary is the epitome of the professional contractor and builder and takes great pride in meticulously attending to every detail of the project. I highly recommend the Corey Alan Team!!”
