I negotiated a price that was average based on quotes I had received from two other contractors. Work started on time and the project was done in less than a week. Dave's team was professional and clean and there were no problems or drama. That's what I ultimately want in a contractor--insert money here, get what you asked for on time there. Would recommend.

The person I spoke with was not courteous at all. At the very beginning of the phone conversation,…read morehe sounded as if he did not want to be bothered with me after setting up a phone appointment with me. I told him that I had two things that I wanted to speak about. After saying the first was painting he quoted me a ridiculous price saying he was a general contractor not a painter and that he charged more for that type of service. And that I could find it cheaper from someone who only does painting. In my opinion, that was flat out rude. I was so disgusted by his rudeness I discontinued the conversation immediately. I didn't even get into the larger project I wanted done. I knew right away he was not the person to work with.

Colleen and the Redbird team quickly helped us create a new floor plan to maximize space in our primary bathroom, plus pull and replace designs for two more bathrooms. They got to know our personal style, created design concepts that we loved, connected us with a contractor, and helped us navigate supply chain issues. The result: bathrooms that are beautiful, functional, easy to clean, and within budget.

I've worked with Colleen from RedBird for three projects now (kitchen color consult, multiple rooms…read morein a first floor redesign, multiple bedrooms and bathrooms in a second floor redesign) and I'm so glad that I found her for elevating and transforming my living spaces! She has a great eye for design and color and is easy to talk to and personable-- this was especially important to me since I wanted to work with someone that I can "click" with. There are tons of design options out there and I can easily spend multiple days just trying to pick out a single piece of furniture, let alone trying to make it look good and work with an entire room, so Colleen's services are invaluable. I just let her and her team do the hard work of putting together color palettes, layouts and mood boards and I tweak little details to my liking if I want. My entire house now looks instagrammable (can't help but notice how good rooms look in the background when I take pictures of the kids around the house) and I'm enjoying its looks as well as function every single day thanks to Colleen and RedBird!

We hired H&C for a total kitchen remodel and we are so thrilled with the results! This was by far…read morethe biggest home improvement project we had ever undertaken. We sought estimates from other contractors but we felt none of them measured up to H&C in terms of their professionalism, customer service, and attention to detail. They have a deep and talented team that was incredibly knowledgeable and responsive to all of our questions no matter how small or complex. Even from the very beginning, before we had finalized a design or signed a contract, Luis and his team's responsiveness and professionalism always made us feel as though we were a valued client. That continued throughout the entire process as we worked with them to develop a design that fit within our budget. Fabio was assigned as our project manager and we couldn't be more thankful for him! He was on top of every last detail and when we had two unforeseen issues come up during demolition, he was quick to provide us a thorough assessment of the issue, several options, and his professional recommendation. It was extremely evident that Fabio and his crew that were here every day were a strong team and it was reflected in their daily communications, their craftsmanship, and their meticulous attention to detail. We'll definitely recommend H&C to our friends and family for any remodeling projects. We're looking forward to enjoying our new kitchen for years to come!

I did not have a good experience at all with this company. First, they changed project managers on…read moreme just before they came out to do that work without explanation. When the work started, they moved at a glacier pace with erratic attendance. There were days they did not show up at all, other days they would show up unexpectedly at 7am, and leave at 10am. This was never communicated with me. Next, mistakes started happening. They painted the walls the wrong color. They put up the shower door on the wrong side. They also put up the window blind backwards so I couldn't reach or use the rod to open and close it. After the shower door went up backwards, the project manager fired the workers, but the had no one to finish the work. When they finally came back to fix the shower tiles wrecked when the door went up on the wrong side, they didn't align the replacement tile patterns with each other so the pattern is disjointed and doesn't line up at all. The project manager told me it's not supposed to line up!? After complaining about it 3 times, they finally offered to replace the tiles. But they stalled on ordering them and now it's out of stock. There are also other problems - the shower faucets are not properly secured to the shower walls, the vanity light is separating from the wall and the light switch fixture is also separating from the wall. The floor tile is irregular with grout lines sometimes thick in places, other times nonexistent. Currently, they are not returning my calls or texts. I've even reached out to the owner who came out and promised to fix everything, but commented that I was overly concerned with "small" details. Now he has not returned my calls or texts about when he will come to fix things. Maybe I am concerned with details but I'd think that is common when paying 20k to have a bathroom redone according to an approved plan. At the very least, I expected that shower tile patterns would match up and that things would be well grouted or secured in shower and on walls. This was my first renovation in my first home and I'm so disappointed in how it turned out and how I was treated by the team. Also, this 2 week project took 5 and 1/2 weeks to get to where it is now. Overall the project was done carelessly with no attention to detail and with no acceptance of their mistakes and no attempt to repair the problems identified. I see they have had good reviews in the past, but my project did not go well at all. I would definitely recommend choosing another company. When I first complained they asked me not to write a bad review and I said that along as everything was fixed we had a deal. Nothing has been fixed and they are not communicating with me. I know have to either pay another company more money to fix their mistakes or take legal action to resolve the simple issues that could be easily fixed. If detail and having a project done to your liking is important I would not recommend H&C at all.

As on 9/18 none of the rooms are complete, including the powder bathroom which required no tile work. The kitchen still does not have any cabinetry or countertops and is completely unusable. Our primary bathroom is also unusable. They have been ignoring my phone calls, texts, and emails all week. They regularly work at our home one day a week, sometimes not even a full day. They refuse to give us a timeline to complete the work. Updating this post to say that as on 10/20 none of the room that we contracted them to remodel have been finished. Additionally, they are now saying they do not have money to purchase the countertops which we already paid them for. I would not enter into any work with them.

Pepco contracted this Anchor Construction. They've been working in DC for months. They do not…read morefollow DC guidelines...they destroy the aesthetics of tree-lined streets with their equipment and trash. Once neighbors complained, they finally brought out smaller equipment and continued their work. They could have easily avoided smashing into and breaking large limbs/branches before the complaints, by using the proper equipment from the beginning. They leave blocks and blocks of DC residential neighborhoods looking like trash. Expired parking permits, excavated dirt and debris, old caution tape, and their personal trash, cigarette butts, and tree limbs now line many DC streets they've been "worked" on. And if you see this crew ahead, be sure to drive, bike, or walk with extra caution as there have been many documented examples of them not using people to direct (stop/slow) traffic when the road is pinched down to one lane and they leave trip hazards along the sidewalk, e.g., tree limbs, fencing, their tools and debris, etc. Just another example of greedy corporations like Pepco contracting greedy LLC's like Anchor to do crap work so they all can cash in at our expense.

At the moment Justin is a one-man operation, and as a result he will require more time to complete his job than the big boys (e.g. California Closets when it comes to custom built-ins). The big boys, though, use particle board (whereas Justin uses birch plywood) and farm out the manufacturing operation to a factory to get things cut quick and have a install design (whereas Justin cuts everything himself in his own home, transports it himself and has to do all the alignments himself). I thought I had a civil engineer in my house measuring the curvature of my walls, that is how detailed he is. I asked Justin about what other kinds or work he does. He does all kinds of remodeling, including bathrooms among other things (although he will contracts out the plumbing for example). The big guys generally have a lead time of like 2-3 months. Justin's lead time is probably 1 month or so. He is extremely flexible. Very punctual too. I highly recommend him.
