    If you are a little obsessed with having things be perfect, then be wary of most generic 5 star reviews on contractors. Most customers are very happy with a very average job and do not go around double checking their contractor's work with a laser level. And of the few freaks who do, most do not have a cow about seeing things a degree off axis or unevenly spaced by fractions of an inch. I am not most people. Here is my honest assessment on their work. Work performed: Demolished bathroom floor & wall tile; installed new porcelain floor & glass wall tile. Lots of contractors had no experience with large format glass tiles. Price quote: Somewhat higher than their competitor Executive summary: Fernando, who estimated and managed the project, has lots of experience putting up tiles and common issues that lesser experienced contractors might normally face. This got me the results I wanted. Minute details of what I liked, for those who want to nerd out with me on this topic: Fernando knows the capabilities of his team and plans out details in a way that will get you the result you want. For example: 1) Fernando recommended a 3/8" grout gap between my tiles. This is a relatively large gap. Obviously smaller gaps look cleaner. However, the benefits of a large gap are that small deviations of +/- 1/16" are not easily perceptible. Unless you are willing to spend 3x on labor to lay tiles to extreme tolerances (not easy when each tile is 12x24" and very heavy), you are going to have a bad time if you ask for thin grout lines, and the tiler does not install them with robotic precision. End result - very good looking consistent tiles. If you go in and measure the gaps, sure, you will see a maximum deviation of up to 1/8" in some grout gaps, but I am convinced it is impossible to do any better than that without adding more man-hours to the job (i.e., dollars & time). Most other contractors who saw that I had tiles with very little tolerance (i.e., very consistent size) said I could go with a 1/8" gap. I actually went with another contractor and followed their advice in another bathroom of my home, and it ended up terrible. When your gap is 1/8", then even tiny deviations of +/- 1/16" will result in grout lines that are 1x-3x different in width. I will be posting a review of one of these contractors as well shortly. 2) Fernando was adamant about the time required to complete this job, and it was approximately twice as many days as his competition. I appreciated that he built in some slack in his schedule to deal with unforseen issues. His team completed the work on time. For my second bathroom, I decided not to go with Fernando at BBC and went with a competitor based on price. I saved maybe $300 and regretted it. I should have just hired BBC again.

    Mom's kitchen remodel by BBC Construction
    Stacy B.

    4.5 stars. Full disclosure - I'm writing this review on my mom's behalf. When she started looking into a kitchen renovation, I started looking into kitchen contractors on Yelp. I searched highly-rated PG County-based contractors and found BBC Construction & Remodeling. I'll start by saying Fernando and team did a beautiful job on mom's kitchen and finished on the EXACT date that he'd estimated before starting the job (approx. 4.5 weeks). Fernando was very patient throughout the process. After his original estimate, he came to meet with mom, my sister, bro-in-law and I to answer all of our questions about the renovation. Fernando also gave my mom some great suggestions on how to improve the overall polish of the finished kitchen (such as adding pot lights and choosing beautiful and affordable marble countertops). The team gutted the original (but refaced) 1940s kitchen, including taking down a bunch of soffits and rearranging the kitchen into a much better flow. Mom's eat-in kitchen is cozy, but the renovations have given her significantly more counter space and tons more cabinet space. Reasons that I bumped down his rating .5 star: 1) there were times during the renovation when he wasn't super clear about the scheduling of when his team would be a my mom's house. She wasn't comfortable giving them a key to her house (which is his preferred setup), which meant that he had to tell her what days he'd be coming by. However, they didn't always show on the days that they said they would. In the end, this didn't end up being a big deal because, as I mentioned, they finished the job on time. But this did up the frustration level of my mom, a retiree who likes to sleep in late :) On the days she thought they were coming, she'd get up early to let them in, so if they didn't show, she'd be cranky for the rest of the day. 2) The final costs were a couple hundred dollars above the agreed upon estimate. This was largely due to upgrades that Fernando recommended mid-job that mom had originally turned down. For example, he suggested pot lights instead of a florescent light fixture. While I agree that it looks MUCH better with the pot lights, to mom, it started to seem like expenses were adding up, which in turn upped her anxiety level. What can I say - renovations can be stressful. All in all, I'd HIGHLY RECOMMEND Fernando and his crew any day. They did a great job. Just relax and trust that he knows what he's talking about and then enjoy your awesome reno :)

    Fernando and his crew did a complete kitchen gut job and renovation right after we purchased our first home. The floor joists, flooring, walls, cabinets, counters, and most appliances were replaced. We also had electrical and plumbing work done with Fernando. I highly recommend his services - the cost was reasonable, he is very reliable, and he puts his client first, no matter what! Fernando was very patient and understanding about getting permits for our work from PG county and together we got it all taken care of, after a couple of weeks of gut-wrenching bureaucratic messiness. After demolition, the work proceeded with the installation of porcelain tile, putting up brand new drywall, the trim, the painting, installing the cabinets, replacing a window, installing the appliances, coordinating plumbing and electrical work, etc. We had a water line added to the fridge as well as the gas line moved to accommodate a change in stove location. Fernando also came up with a great idea for handling the dead space in the corner of the kitchen where the entrance to the cellar is. We ordered an extra cabinet and they used the door to create a dummy cabinet and counter in the corner so we have some more counter space and the kitchen looks contiguous. Fernando has a great eye for aesthetics and cared a lot about making sure we were comfortable, happy, and taken care of. Although our work took longer because of permit problems and the floor needed to be completely rebuilt, Fernando saw the work through all the way to the end, through all of the tough stuff, and kept our happiness his #1 priority the entire time. The kitchen is gorgeous, sturdy, and fabulous.

    Fantastic Experience! This was my second project with Fernando- I asked him to change an existing walk-in shower to a bathtub. I provided all of the materials and he provided the very professional and artistic labor. The end results was a new bathtub with beautifully tiled walls, including some embedded trim pieces. It only took 1.5 weeks and the tradesman were all very respectful of my house. They laid the appropriate amount of protection down and vacuumed every night before stopping for the day. They were careful to explain what they were doing during the entire process. Fernando and his team seem to be able to tackle any home remodel project and achieve superb results, I recommend them for any of your home remodel/ repair projects!

    Masterful work on our kitchen and some handy work. Fernando has incredible work ethic and is extremely knowledgeable in his field. He's very honest when it came to pricing and provided suggestions that would help cut costs, as well as building us our dream island kitchen! Definitely recommend, thank you Fernando!

The main problem and downside is that they are very expensive and overcharge. Despite the Yelp page saying that the company provides a "free estimate", I was quoted $49 for the technician to travel. In addition, if I had not chosen to go ahead with the repair, the company would have charged me an additional $150 diagnostic fee. Essentially, despite the yelp profile stating a "free estimate", it will cost you closer to $200 to get a quote. I see this as false advertisement. In addition, when the technician concluded that the problem was the capacitor, I received a final quote of $600. When I googled the price of the same capacitor online, the price range was in between 75$ - 150$. Essentially, they are charging a premium of at least $450 per replacement for a single part (capacitor). Despite their professionalism and quality work, I do not recommend this company for the reasons stated above. If price is not a concern for you, and you would rather pay twice the market value for a job then you should definitely choose them. EDIT: I actually googled the price of a capacitor and offered to buy my own. I was told that by the technician that if I purchased my own capacitor that the company would not install it. In conclusion, they did not address any of my concerns. Unfortunately, after reading the other bad reviews, there seems to be a consistent pattern of discrepancies between what they tell customers and what they instruct technicians to say on site. Making an honest living is so much more rewarding than making it dishonest living.
