Constraction reviews in Silver Spring, Maryland

Excellent work on enclosing a porch area off our kitchen (under a second-floor balcony) in fall 2019. High quality work done with an eye towards our special needs (using metal screens that might be more resistant to our cats, doing separate panels for each of replacement if ever needed, etc.). They appeared on time and did the work well and in a timely fashion despite weather. They are friendly and courteous. Also fixed a grading issue in the front of our house by installing a french drain when it turned out simple grading could not do enough (they are good at solving problems efficiently and communicating changes; all the changes improved the overall job). Highly recommend them for any inside and outside construction work, especially if the house is older (ours was built in the 1930s).

KIngCaire carried out a major seven month remodeling project on our large older house (over 100 years old) and did a superb job. Although we had an architect design the project, a number of unforseen challenges came up that were not apparent in the planning stages, such as some significant structural issues behind walls. Billy readily adapted to these and implemented very sensible, effective, and economical solutions, and kept this complex project on track. In addition, as the project proceeded, we made a number of changes and add-on requests to the original plans, such as the installation of custom made cabinets/bookshelves. Again, Billy worked closely with us and some of these add-ons turned out to be the highlights of the whole project. We were endlessly impressed by Billy's desire to do very high quality work but in the most economical way possible. We stayed in the house during the project and Billy and his team were exceptionally careful to work with us to minimize disruptions and inconveniences. The renovations exceeded our expectations and we could not be more pleased with the outcome.

I used Kingcaire Construction for some remodeling and Renovation work on my home in Potomac. The schedule was critical as we were putting our home on the market due to having to re-locate for work.
Billy identified some critical items which were needed to be completed in order to give added value to the home.
The team at Kingcaire were punctual arriving when they said they would, kept the work areas tidy on a daily basis,completed the scopes of work in a timely manner and with excellent craftsmanship.
Getting a home ready for a sale is stressful, to some adding the stress of some remodeling renovations prior to putting the home on the market would be a nightmare. But in this instance using KingCaire Construction made the renovation process easy, Billy displayed great professionalism and provided top notch work at a fair price.
The work they completed greatly assisted us in realizing additional profit from the sale of our home.
It was tough to leave the house behind especially after the work they did.
I would strongly recommend Billy and the team at Kingcaire Construction and wish that I had a resource of the same Caliber here in my new home in upstate -
The site won't let me give Kingcaire construction a 6-star rating, but would if I could. We just completed an extensive renovation of our 100-year old home that ultimately involved all 4 floors and are thrilled with the results thanks to Billy and his team's skill, expertise and attention to detail. His team was our first choice from the start and will be for any future projects we may have.

My husband had Billy come give an estimate to do repairs on our home awhile back. I did not like his vibe at all- he was very shady and ran his mouth at 100mph talking about himself. He did not listen to what we wanted, and didn’t give me a chance to ask questions. Actually, he was gross towards me and I felt uncomfortable in my own home. He definitely has the air of someone who goes home to beat his wife because he didn’t make it in life. He gave an absolutely outrageous estimate. I always do a competitive bid, and his was thousands above the three other quotations I received, all licensed professionals. Then I read these reviews- and his completely unprofessional replies to them! Glad I went with my gut on this guy. I don’t recommend.

Billy Mulcaire (Kingcaire Construction Company) came highly recommended to us by several friends and neighbors when we needed renovation work performed on our home. We were in the midst of our wedding preparations and we’re planning to merge our homes in a couple of months and wanted to renovate our home prior to our big day. Needless to say, we were in a rush and were looking for professional help on an expedited basis. Shortly after receiving the referral, we connected with Billy who advised that he could make himself available to complete the renovations within our very short timeframe. He came to our home first thing the next day with his associate and completed the estimate that same day. His work proposal was very reasonable and competitively priced. We moved ahead with his proposal and were very satisfied with the work, which was not only excellent and exactly what we wanted but on time and within our budget. We were extremely happy, not only with the end results but also the overall experience. Billy took a very stressful situation and made it painless for us. He was reliable, professional, diligent and very accommodating. He certainly lived up to the referral. I would highly recommend his services based on our experience and that of the friends and neighbors who recommended him to us.

We had Billy and his team renovate and install new kitchen. And all I have to say is WOW! We were so pleased with the outcome. He took our small galley kitchen and opened it up to our dining room to make it the most inviting space. Everyone was so courteous, prompt and kept my place clean at the end of each day. They did a fantastic job! - not to mention- they stayed on budget. Our home is old and Billy made it look modern and trendy. I can't say enough about Kingcaire construction. Thank you!

We really like working with Kingcaire. They are smart, listen to what the homeowner wants, recommend solutions that will work--and bring in an experienced crew that get the job done right and on time.
We have had them work on numerous projects in our home. They are very professional and caring! I don't trust anyone else with our home. If something needs attention they always make it right. The end result was a superb solution, beautiful Kitchen, Attic and basement. 100% makeover with BEST, Beautiful Result. ,
We were so happy that now. Mr. Billy and crew are really great to work with, Amazing Service A+. -
I was very excited to work with this contractor at the beginning and even in the middle of the project. I was convinced this would end up as a 5-star rating. However, the quality declined with some elements of the project. I would give a 3.5-star rating if I could, but I don't feel comfortable with a 4-star rating.
Pros:
- Very friendly staff and shows up to the project on time
- Cleans up after the job on a daily basis
- Covers household items to minimize dust and damages
- Clearly communicates the day's tasks/objectives and shows progress at the end of the day
- Plumbing, cement board, waterproofing, and foundational elements were properly managed. No evidence of leaks at this time after converting the plumbing structure from a tub to a standalone shower. His team took their time and tested for water leaks before any of the flooring and walls were sealed. This was my most important concern so A++ there.
- The owner would return to fix some of the concerns that his team did not address (missing caulk, drywall repair). He responds fairly quickly to email or text messages.
Cons:
- There were occasional issues with schedule and resource management. There were 9 consecutive days of no work being performed in the middle of the project, but upon arrival there were complaints that the team needs to hurry and finish my job. I felt like my project was being punished because of their schedule management issues. There was a tile specialist, but he was no longer available to work on my project. So, the owner decided for my project to move forward without a tile/grout specialist.
- With that said, communication lacked towards the end of the project. The owner was more focused on finishing by his target date versus discussing extending the project another x number of days to make sure the job maintains high quality. As a result, the staff seemed rushed to finish the job which allowed the craftsmanship quality to decline. I would say 70-80% of the tile and grout work is acceptable, but the remainder does not look professional. After showing and explaining my concerns, the owner agreed that the quality was also not to his standards, but made excuses for not fixing it. So, I'm now "stuck" with some tile and trim work that doesn't look professional in some areas. To be clear, I'm not looking for perfection. I know that doesn't really exist, but I expect the quality to look like a professional did the work. Of course, there were no changes in the billing to compensate for any decline in quality. Go figure.
- Since the tile work was not performed by a tile specialist, the team blew threw the extra tile that was originally purchased. I ended up buying extra tile on top of the general extra 10-15% and wasted more money.
I honestly dreaded writing this review because the staff is really nice and wanted to do a good job, but I have to be honest with my review. I have other projects that I want completed, but I don't have confidence in their ability to provide high quality tile and grout work unless they have a full-time tile and grout specialist. I would recommend that the team add quality control to their process to help ensure the customer would accept the product as good quality. -

After reaching out Sunday evening, they were able to squeeze an appointment in for us Monday morning without issue. They resolved all our issues in one go.

They were scheduled to arrive at a time sensitive consultation at 2pm. I received a message at 1:57pm saying that they forgot about the appointment and can’t make it. Very disappointing.
