General Contractor reviews in Kensington, Maryland

Ascension Home Contractors was able to help me get my home ready for sale at the last minute. Jimmy and his team was very detailed oriented and efficient. He was courteous and professional. I highly recommend.

We hired Ascension to rough-in our remodel of our bathroom. Jimmy and his team were great to work with and were able to accommodate all of our needs for the remodel. We couldn’t be happier with the experience. We would highly recommend Ascension.

Jimmy’s team is excellent. They accomplished their work quickly, left our space clean, the work quality was excellent and the price was very reasonable.

Jimmy and his team dug out our front yard and installed full sized egress windows. They found us an architect to draw up plans for permits and handled the whole process with DCRA. Our project had some surprises, like pipes in the way, but Jimmy brought in a plumber and had it moved quickly. Would highly recommend!

Jimmy just renovated my 1909 kitchen for me, and I couldn't be happier! He and his team were very easy to work with, clean, respectful, and fun to work with, and the results are beautiful! He definitely went above and beyond a few times too... like when my plumber (not his guy) went into my vacant apartment in the middle of the night without permission, and caused a flood into the lobby of my building (that's a completely separate review - Don't hire Patrick Griffin). As soon as Jimmy discovered what happened, he sprang into action, mitigating damages and resolving the plumbing problem himself. He is an extremely knowledgable general contractor, which is what you want when doing a home renovation - since you never know what issues might arise! I liked him so much, I'm hiring him again to redo my bathroom. Thank you, Jimmy!

Jimmy and his electrician rewired my ENTIRE three story house in about three weeks *while my toddler and I were still living there.* They did this by fishing out the old wires through small holes and then pulling the new wiring through. It was like arthroscopic surgery on my house! When I came home from work in the evening, everything was almost exactly as I had left it in the morning, with almost all of the outlets and ALL appliances still functional. Jimmy did a great job of communicating with me about the process and was especially attentive to permitting and inspection: everything was done the right way. When they were done, they patched up the little holes perfectly and took great care to match the existing paint. Jimmy also fixed my trash can cupboard and installed a new exterior door for my basement while he was doing the electrical work! Highly recommend!

Jimmy was very responsive from the beginning. His bid was also very reasonable and he does not nickel and dime you-- he's willing to make some changes and additions here and there. His crew started almost immediately and worked very quickly. They consistently showed up on time and worked full days. We were happy with the quality of the work as well. Our finished basement looks beautiful!

Jimmy and his team have done several projects for me over the years, both before and after my family moved out of state. They took care of drywall repairs, lead paint removal, interior painting, plumbing, and various other things around my house. Jimmy is always responsive, professional, and keep me updated; and their work is always top notch. As a homeowner and landlord who lives far away, I cannot overstate how valuable it is to have a trusted contractor you can just call when issues arise. I would wholeheartedly recommend Jimmy and his team to my family and friends.

I had a fantastic experience with Ascension Home Contractors. They completely updated a basement bedroom (including enlarging the room and adding a closet) and basement utility room. The estimate and final price after change orders were very reasonable. The project was completed right on time with the initial time estimate as well. Jimmy and his crew were very professional, on time, and clean. I will certainly look to Ascension for future home projects given how positive of an experience I had. Highly recommend.

Ascension Home Contractors helped my husband and I finish our very old basement to get us more usable space for our home - Jimmy and his team were very responsive and professional, he provided daily updates on the work that was being done and was flexible with our budget in mind as things progressed. They also were very diligent about wearing masks and being mindful with all the necessary Covid precautions during their work. Jimmy has been such a big help in the process, and made meaningful project updates so that we knew before we closed up our walls that everything was taken care of. He has been very reliable and knowledgeable about all kinds of construction aspects and he takes the time to get to know his clients. We have recommended Ascension to several friends and look forward to working with them again on future projects.

In October of this year, I had an issue with plumbing – water started leaking from my bathroom to the bathroom of the apartment below. Our neighborhood technician, who is also a friend, evaluated the problem and asked to contact an outside contractor to have the problem fixed and recommended Ascension Home Contractors, LLC, i.e. Jimmy and his team. I called, and luckily for me, Jimmy was available to come and take a look almost immediately. … Fast-forward, I agreed to hire Jimmy to remodel my entire bathroom. Firstly, because my bathroom was begging for it, and it was time to deal with it. Second, because Jimmy seemed like a decent guy, he listened to my concerns and reassured me that he and his team would work around my work schedule and the renovation would stay within my budget.
Renovation projects can be stressful. But it wasn’t in my case, because thanks to Jimmy and his team, I didn’t have to deal with it a lot. Jimmy planned, organized, prioritized, and managed my expectations very well. They even picked up my online orders from Home Depot and Floor and Décor. I was very pleased with the services. … Three weeks later, not including the week of Thanksgiving, my new bathroom is ready and looks great, and I am happy about it and so very grateful.
Overall, I had a positive experience with this company and can recommend their services without hesitation. Cheers to their success and a prosperous future!

Excellent work, very responsive, took on a challenging job with professionalism, flawless results, highly recommend give them all the stars.

Awesome Company, great Price, they came 7am in the morning to re-do my roof got it done in a few hours, removed the old roof(had two layers) change a few pieces of plywood that need it replace and re did my roof, very professional, by the time they left it was like they were never there Highly recommended company!!!

I chose Ascension Home Contractors to add a "man cave" to my unfinished basement. They started the project from scratch 2 days after I hired them and finished the project in rapid time. All of the staff were professional, on time, and responsive to questions and additional requests. I could not be more pleased with the work and I highly recommend their services!

I hired Ascension to install a new front and back door to my home. Jimmy came as a stellar recommendation from a friend, and I'm glad I hired him. The day of installation Jimmy and his assistant were swift, thorough and clean. If any issues surfaced they did great problem solving on the spot. When they left I was left with beautiful, professionally installed doors, and they left everything spotless. An issue arose with my back door in which they would have to come at a later time to finish painting the job, and five months later when it was finally resolved, Jimmy came back promptly and completed it. I cannot recommend a better local contractor than Ascension Home Contractors.

I just bought a house in January. Shortly after I moved in there was a water leak. The plumber confirmed my bathtub needed to be replaced. I obtained 6 different estimates. I selected Ascension Home Contractors to perform the work because Jimmy was thorough in his estimate, and explained everything involved, and his company had positive reviews. Ascension did a nice job with the work. The bathroom remodel turned out great. He replaced the tub with a high quality cast iron tub (which I bought), his guys did a good job with the tile work, and they installed a new window too which looks great. Over the past 5 months, I've received a lot of compliments from people onsite and online with the bathroom renovation. I recommend Ascension for remodeling projects and I'll keep them in mind for future work as well.

Ascension Home Contractor replaced my roof and it was a great experience. Anxiety was high for me taking on such a big home repair. Jimmy answered all my questions and the team worked efficiently and cleaned up without leaving a trace.
UPDATE: Once you find a great contractor who is reliable, knowledgeable and treats your home like his own you come back for more. After the roof job, I called Ascension back for more projects to include a full basement redo, bathroom and kitchen tile. Still five stars!!! They can handle everything inside and out.

Ascension Home Contractor's just completed work on my beautiful kitchen. The Attention to detail and ease of communication should set the standard for client company relationships. Jimmy was very honest and adaptive through the entire process which eliminated worry. Ascension is the only company I will call for work to be done on my property.

Words cannot express how pleased I am with the work that Jimmy and his guys have done at my house. The workmanship has been top notch at every turn. I have been amazed at the extent to which they have gone out of their way to do things the right way. I have enough construction experience to know where corners can be and often are cut. At every turn, Ascension Home Contractors has taken the time to do the little things that make all the difference. I had considered building this deck myself and am very glad that I didn't. Jimmy has used quality lumber and materials. The lumber and the decking were significantly better than anything supplied by the big box home improvement stores.
I have been so impressed with the little things that they have taken upon themselves to do along the way. These are the details that take a project from good to great. Ascension has exceeded my expectations. I trust Jimmy and will gladly use Ascension again for future projects.

I worked with Jimmy as an interior designer on a bathroom project. It was a full gut job. He was wonderful to work with. He is easy to talk to, he's on time and shows up when he says he will. He has the experience and skills to get the job done. His team is efficient and friendly. Any issues that came up - and there always are issues - he dealt with them quickly and fixed the problem.Our client was very happy and I can't wait to work with him again!

We had an excellent experience with Ascension. Jimmy was flexible and responsive, taking an initial meeting in a Saturday and getting a quote to us that evening, and was able to commence work 2 business days later. Work was completed on time and on budget, and to our rather exacting standards. Thank you so much!
