J&E Modern Construction renovated both our unfinished basement and outdoor breezeway of our almost…read more100-year-old rowhouse in NE WASHINGTON, DC. They did a FANTASTIC job! The job included demolition of existing non-weight-bearing walls, new framing, insulation, sheetrock, ceiling; new flooring, doors, windows, overhead lights/wiring; upgrading the stairway to 1st floor; building "mechanical room" for boiler; plus framing, screening, ceiling, tiling back breezeway; installing breezeway fans;; plastering & painting; and other finish work. We did NOT need the full bathroom done; it was already done. We also purchased & J&E installed stackable washer/ventless dryer. The finished basement includes a guest bedroom with private back entrance and private access to bathroom, a small room to be used as a recording studio, hallway/general access to washer/dryer, and small sitting area at base of the steps. Breezeway now provides a screened in patio. Importantly, J&E discovered some structural decay in the brick support pillars and beams/crossbeams at the back of the house in the breezeway and were able to repair the issue quickly and attractively for a reasonable additional fee. While J&E was not the least expensive bid we received, the quality, timeliness, and thoroughness of their work was first rate! Additionally, the communication channels (via WhatsApp) connected all the team leadership easily and efficiently. The response time was speedy. Yair Delayahu spent considerable time assessing the job; his estimates were incredibly detailed & parsed out financially. Shay Ovadia, and Orlando were terrific in guiding the project, and crew member Oliver and his teammates, plus electrical/plumbing teams, were all tremendously skilled, punctual, courteous, and responsive. Clients are responsible for the selection and purchase of items like doors & handles, flooring, fans, washer/dryer. Client selects paint color. J&E can advise re materials. There's a final walk-through/punch list for any dangling loose ends, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED--5 STARS!

We would highly recommend J&E Modern construction. Right away the experience of working with Shay…read morewas different than other contractors we had reached out to. He is very easy to communicate with and he responds very quickly. The planning phase was very thorough, which led to the project being completed in a very timely manner. Shay's team were very dedicated to getting the job done quickly so we could get back to using our home again. When there were hiccups, as inevitably there are in an extensive home renovation, Shay always came back to us with a "no problem, we'll fix it" attitude. Shay's sub-contractors were also great to work with and very professional. Our project included a mudroom addition as well as a gut remodel of the kitchen. We couldn't be happier with the results!

Short version: They're great! We would use the again…read more Long version: We did a full bathroom renovation with Mega Kitchen and Bath. We wanted to completely redo our master bathroom and move a wall so that we could add a bathtub. First we worked with Mega's design consultant, Laissa. She was incredibly patient and helpful and guided us through the process of designing our bathroom, choosing all the fixture and tiles, etc. I have no idea how we would have done it without her. I especially appreciated how they gave us a spreadsheet of all of the fixtures and their prices so that we could easily see how every change of fixture affected the overall price of our project. Once the design was finished, Ibrahim, Juan, and the rest of the construction team took over. They were unfailingly polite and considerate while they were in our home. They were even kind enough to wear masks when we requested it (we have an immunocompromised family member). The construction team regularly consulted us whenever they wanted to confirm a decision and the work was finished well within the time frame we'd been promised. Our bathroom is so beautiful that my mom regularly drags family members upstairs to admire it when we have family events at our home. We did have one issue after construction was finished: a stubborn leak that kept coming back. Mega was very responsive when we reached out to them about the issue and was very proactive about making sure it was fixed and repairing any damage it caused. I would happily hire Mega Kitchen and Bath again in the future and I can't give a better recommendation than that.

We removed the wall between the kitchen and the tiny dining room, and Traylor rerouted HVAC, relocated plumbing, updated electrical, and installed cabinets, counters, and new flooring. The transformation has made a huge difference in how we use our home. The quality of the work is solid, especially given the price--which is truly hard to beat. The team was professional, punctual, and respectful throughout the process. They cleaned up daily, which we really appreciated. Renata and Livia were always responsive, and Andre checked in on progress regularly. One of the most impressive parts of the project was how they matched the new kitchen floor to our existing hardwoods. They removed the old kitchen tile and weaved in new boards seamlessly with the dining room flooring--it looks like it was always one room. Several guests have commented on how great it looks. We're overall very happy with the work Traylor completed for us and will work with them again for our next project.

They also worked with us when we found that a column was structural and needed to be moved and supplemented to ensure a safe final construction. The final tile work looks great in both locations as well.

JP Builders have worked on a series of projects on our early 1900s condo in Shaw/MVT over the past 5 years and we're extremely happy with all of them. From beautiful hardscaping and the build of a custom fence, to a drop-in grill enclosure, to our powder room... Matt and his team can do it all. I'd highly recommend hiring JP Builders for your next project. They're not the cheapest, but you get every penny of value in every other way imaginable.

The first renovation was a guest bathroom that we hired Solomon and his team to renovate two years ago. They did a great job. This project was much larger and included gutting our original (1969) master bathroom, moving fixtures and walls, and creating a walk-in closet from the bedroom next to the bathroom. After receiving proposals from 4 different companies, we chose to go with Image. They were not the lowest nor highest price, but we were comfortable with them and knew that the work would be done right. It was. Solomon and the Project Manager, Mr. Fikri, were amazing. Every step of the way they made sure everything was going right, according to the plan. Any questions that came up and decisions that needed to be made they were thorough, fair, reasonable and always had great ideas. The communication was great. We knew exactly when Mr. Fikri and his team would arrive to work and they did. The master bathroom is now a beautiful focal point of our home with a state of the art glass enclosed shower, a water closet, heated floors in the bathroom, and a magazine quality walk in closet. Two months later my wife and I still feel like we live in a hotel. We already have our next project planned (a kitchen renovation) and we will not hesitate to hire Image once again to perform the work. We highly recommend them.

He said that he couldn't give me a picture of what the finished design would look like and that I would have to drive to the office to see that because I could take the design to other contractors. I just don't think this is a nice way to talk to potential customers. I told him that previous contractors had sent pictures, and asked him to even send a picture pencil/ paper just to show me where things would be and such. I honestly don't understand why that was a problem. He said that other contractors would not send me designs with projects (aka calling me liar). I asked for a manager I was told there was no one. I called later and asked to speak with a manager and I was told that there wasn't one and he wasn't authorized to even tell me the name of the manager. Hopefully this saves someone from leaving work early to meet with Russell who won't give you an idea of the finished project until you drive to their office which is definitely some type of sales tactic. Really disappointed in these guys.

Upon removal, I noticed that the stairs were not only badly damaged (from a previous owner's work), but were failing in multiple areas when accessed underneath. This was no longer a home improvement project, but now became a safety issue. I contacted Jonathan on a Tuesday afternoon letting him know that we had a staircase that was in need of repair. I reached out to 10 companies (that listed on their Yelp reviews that they offered carpentry) requesting a carpenter or carpentry skills, but only Jonathan and another company indicated that they could repair stairs that were damaged and in need of repair. The other company was not as responsive and indicated that they were fully booked through the summer, and that they didn't have the time. After texting and calling Jonathan throughout the day Tuesday, Jonathan indicated that he would come out the following morning to assess the damage with one of his highly skilled employees. Jonathan and his skilled carpenter were timely and direct in what needed addressed. He indicated that we would replace 10 of the 13 treads, and that they would reinforce all of the stairs underneath with 2x4's and other materials. Jonathan and his skilled carpenter were not only efficient, timely, and responsive, but the quality exceeded all expectations. Jonathan's carpenter worked nonstop Wednesday (not even a break!) and finished ahead of schedule on Thursday. The high quality work was much more than we had anticipated, and the price was reasonable (considering the urgency and timing). I highly recommend Jonathan and his company. We plan to use them for improvements and projects. Top Notch!

We used Hammer for a major remodel of our 100+ year old home. The owner, Greg, is a great…read moresalesperson and nice guy, but we ultimately didn't think the cost was worth it. The overall quality was solid, but it was more of a build than a design and build, even though you're paying for both services with Hammer. For example, our kitchen has drawers to nowhere, because the countertop comes out overtop of them (and a useless outlet in that drawer); in a bathroom, they had to jerry-rig a vanity drawer that they didn't measure properly to account for the sink, and the faucet in that same bathroom barely fits so it's difficult to clean. And this was all custom-designed, custom-made by Hammer (or their vendors)! Our project team changed several times during our project, and at some point we were told our PM was pulled off to help with a bigger project (which made us feel real valued). We still have a few outstanding items to address as part of our warranty, but getting their attention or their focus past the sale has been more difficult. We interviewed several companies and decided to go with Hammer because we were sold on the design/build cohesion, but it wasn't worth the money. There are quality contractors for a better value out there.

From the initial design phase, to demolition, to installation- the hammer team was communicative, thoughtful, prompt and professional. We enjoyed working with Doug, Johanna, Santiago and Nelson. They did a great job of expectation setting before demolition on what surprises we might encounter in a 100+ year old row house. They helped amend our timeline and adjusted to our needs for the arrival of our firstborn and amended again when the baby was born early. They have high standards for look and quality and helped provide guidance when we needed it. We are very pleased with the end product and would definitely recommend hammer for anyone looking to remodel.
