People who…read morecare, spend attention on what matters and follow through on what they say they are going to do. This is especially true in the contracting world. I cannot give enough of a glowing recommendation throughout the entire design and remodeling process that blue collar scholars provided. They showed up on time for the estimate, provided multiple options, gave us multiple designs and material selections for our home addition in Maryland. We got three quotes, however, this company's professionalism and attention to detail is what sold us. Working with their architect Sam was also an incredible experience in itself. When shovels finally broke around three months later, the foundation team, the framing team and the roofing team did a great job, keeping everything clean as we were still living in the house. We finally had to move out for two months as they opened up the original part of the house and connected it to the addition and completed all of the finish finishes. There is now a gorgeous, open kitchen, a brand, new master suite, an amazing Jacuzzi, a custom sauna, beautiful, big windows, and just incredible tile work throughout the new bathrooms we have. Their landscaping team did a phenomenal job completely over hauling our backyard. We now have privacy and a lot more space for our family.

By far the best outdoor living contractor in the DC area…read more They were very reasonably priced, provided a comprehensive estimate that allowed us to make easy decisions and communicated extremely well throughout the whole process and execution of the job. We now have the best patio in our DC neighborhood, our drainage problems are nonexistent and we are able to host gatherings very easily with tons of fun! They provided options for a stone patio, paver patio, and a brick patio. Obviously, as you can see in the pictures, we went with the brick! I love the timeless look, and I think it goes really well with the rest of our yard and the look of our home. Special shout out to their Forman Erick and his two assistants!

They even fit me in before Christmas ahead of schedule. Wasn't cheap but considering amount of work done I think it's been totally worth it.

I called again so that I could make an appointment for the work they said need to be done on the outside of our Chimney. Still waiting for a response. This is something that has to be done in warmer weather because of the bricks and outside Chimney work. I will update my review when the job is completed. Which includes setting up an appointment for the additional work need outside of my Chimney with the brick work. I do appreciate their honesty about for safety reasons to not use the fireplace.

The project was completed as planned, exceeded my expectations and was done to my satisfaction. The entire team was professional and easy to work with. They answered all my questions and concerns during the process. The team was very neat and respectful of my home. The crew provided meticulous attention to detail and communication during the process was clear. They cleaned up the work area everyday after they completed their task. There were small cost overruns, but they were reasonable. I would contact them without hesitation for another job. The professionalism helped ease the stress of such a large endeavor. I am excited about enjoying my new outdoor space. I was pleased with the outcome and would highly recommend Creative Exteriors Plus.

The estimate, design, demo, and build processes all went smoothly because of Agustin and his crew, who started every day bright and early - even when utterly frigid. Like any big project, there were some unforseen challenges, but Agustin communicated with us regularly and made the design changes and/or repairs that were necessary to push forward. Agustin and the crew did a great job with the deck and patio modifications to accommodate. I highly recommend Creative Exteriors Plus!

This is an amazing company. I had some water damage on a wall and I called the company that…read moreinstalled my roof. They then told me that the chimney needed a cap. I put a bid on Home Depot (rookie mistake) and had 2 contractors say I needed a cap that could be installed for $900. That didn't seem thorough so I called evolution chimney. They had a young man and his partner came out and they went in the basement and to the roof and told me all the work I needed done. They had to add a new and wide liner, fix the deteriorating staccato, ensured that there was no chance of carbon monoxide and of course the cap. It was well worth the investment. The first appointment I had there was a scheduling mishap so the woman that took my call offered to deploy an emergency weekend team but I opted to reschedule for the next week. The work was done in a few hours. I was worried about squirrels still getting into the attic so I put a metal trap up there but nothing has been in the attic since and no water seems to be coming through the wall. Highly recommend.

They matched the mortar color perfectly and it looks great. What an improvement!. Now I only wonder why I didn't get it done it sooner. The price was reasonable, and the communication about the scheduling and price was very easy. Despite their best efforts to get the work done early, it rained on the wet concrete at the end of the second day. They came back early the next morning to fix the damaged cement so it blends perfectly with the rest of the porch cement. Very conscientious. It was clear that everyone on the crew was diligent and fastidious about the details, and they really wanted it to look good and last a long time.

Miguel asked tons of questions to make sure he understood my vision of what I wanted - he even did a "test drive" with a car similar in size to mine to make sure the circle was large enough to accommodate the turn! I wanted permeable pavers and he offered choices that go perfectly with the colors of my house. Miguel is very good at keeping you informed of the project's status; he and his crew work really efficiently but they don't skimp on any details or excellence. As part of this latest project, Miguel poured a new concrete base for the deck steps (the previous owner had simply placed the bottom of the wood stair on bare ground!) and he added to the concrete area underneath the deck that he constructed previously, so I can more easily pull out my trash bins. I totally enjoy working with Miguel and I'll be using him for more projects in the future!
