Constraction reviews in Washington, Maryland

We had a challenging renovation project in DC that was stalled in the permit application process. The team at Case Design led by Dave Vogt took over the project and navigated through the DOB approvals and permits. Every step of the way they communicated with us and let us know what was going on in the project. Melissa was our designer and helped us choose incredible finishes for the project and was attentive and wonderful to work with throughout the project. When our condominium neighbors had questions on the work, our project manager Brian went out of his way to make sure their questions were answered and they were informed of the work being done. In the end the project was done for the budget we were quoted and the work was top quality. We are so happy with the finished project and highly recommend Case Design if you have a renovation project that needs a top notch team.

Richie is the man, especially when it comes to elevators!

I can’t say enough about District Elevator's.
Our building has been having issues with the elevators for years until District Elevators started servicing our elevators. Now our elevators are never broken. They also redid our elevators and did a beautiful job. Can’t say enough about this elevator company..

Reliable

Nice people

Good. Reliable

Car #57 drives like a reckless maniac!

The owner Jonathan B is a criminal and a degenerate.

There drivers cut u off and act like u did something wrong.

Great service from a friendly and wonderful group of people. I Highly recommend you give them a call.

My A/C system was changed and works better than before. i no longer have to stay in my basement for cool air

Awesome company. Reliable, attention to details, great workers , knowledgeable & fair

One of their work vans blew by traffic at very high speed in a left hand turn only lane on Ritchie Marlboro Rd near Upper Marlboro at 7:15 AM on 28 Feb 2020. This is not the first time that I’ve encountered one of their vans in a reckless driving situation.

Had DES come out to service my condo, which is located in an old building with old electric systems. They are SO nice, helpful, and really want to find the root cause of an issue. I can't recommend them enough!

Love my countertops! Excellent service, hospitality, and materials!

We hired them as a design/build firm. The experience was beyond abominable–including a bid that was ridiculously high, and a 65% markup on changes. Part of the contract (that we never signed) was agreeing to binding arbitration. So when we sought to get back our deposit because we would NEVER use them, they fought us (even though Maryland Law requires a contract before a deposit is accepted) and we went to arbitration. Pelican lost conclusively in arbitration, but rather than pay us (remember BINDING arbitration), they took us to court. They lost decisively there too, but it also cost us a year of our lives and 1000s of dollars.

Our bathroom renovation was stress-free thanks to Build Design Center. The crew worked fast without sacrificing quality, and Emre was helpful and patient. We adore the outcome!

The team at Build Design Center in Georgetown just competed two additional bathroom projects for us that are both beautiful and functional (unlike what they replaced!) We met with Emre at their design studio and within 90 minutes we had picked out all the fixtures, stone & accessories and Emre created the plans with us for both our Master Bathroom and for our guest Powder Room. Onur was our Project Manager and was always hands-on as he managed the complexities of the projects and kept to the committed timeline. The demolition and construction teams were tidy and efficient and built everything with perfect detail.
We highly recommended Emre and his team. This was the second set of projects they have completed for us in the past 3 months as we were so pleased with the full bathroom renovation, the wet bar renovation, and the kitchen redesign we had done in December & January.

Build Design just completed redesign and installation of my kitchen, bathroom & family room wet bar. Emre guided us in selecting beautiful designs, tile, fixtures and appliances that transformed our rooms. The two project managers, Ata and Onur, were onsite and very engaged in overseeing the construction work of their team members. The planning and execution of our projects were flawless. the custom hardwood cabinetry, beautiful tile work and fixtures were expertly installed within the established timelines. I am excited to get started on the powder room and master bath updates next week!

We hired them for a kitchen renovation and had a consistently frustrating experience.

The project was repeatedly delayed, communication was poor, and there was no clear project management. They worked off outdated plans, ignored measurements, and made major errors (including installing incorrect materials and even treating a sink cabinet as a standard cabinet) then tried to claim those were what we agreed to before correcting.

The workmanship was below professional standards. Issues included poor finishes, damage to other parts of our home (including loss of electrical outlets), and lack of basic cleanup (paint splatter and leftover bags and debris)

Despite multiple chances to fix these problems, the final repairs were rushed and still subpar. After months of back-and-forth, their only resolution was a minimal discount that didn’t come close to reflecting the extent of the issues.

Overall, the project required far more time, oversight, and follow-up than it should have, and the end result did not meet the promised standard. I would strongly recommend looking at other options.

Great design and customer service👍
