I bought a tear down property in May of 2019 with Zimmermann Homes which was completed in July of…read more2020. I can't say enough good things about Rob and his team. I was not living in the DMV area when we started the project so they did a great job of communicating remotely during the design process. His architect, Darren and interior design team, Christina Simon, took samples of things we liked and found ways to integrate them into the house. The property has so many cool features from finishes, to a basement apartment, gym, and a roof deck. It's a 4,400 sq foot house but feels like it's 6k. Rob, Jim, and team are very particular about how things are done. If something doesn't look right, they are going to have it corrected properly and they did. From building for energy efficient, print labeling everything ( low voltage, electrical, was, gas), to managing the draw schedule, they really focus on the little things during what is a very stressful experience. After moving in, they ensured punch list items were attended to. Unfortunately, we had to relocate for work after a year but the focus on details and quality allowed us to get top dollar for our property. Having now bought another newly built home only further highlights the unique focus on service and quality building of Zimmermann homes. Wish I could have had him build my house out west.

I am a huge fan of working with Zimmermann Homes for a custom build home, proven by my recent…read moreexperience building a new house with them in North Arlington. It's the second house I have built with Rob and his team in the last 4 years and this experience was even better than my first one in 2018. Zimmermann Homes continues to improve its operations continuously, whereby the customer remains first and foremost. Building together over the past 12-18 months had several challenges, primarily supply chain issues, most of which were entirely out of our control. However, Rob and his team worked even harder to source substitutes that were just as good or as timely as the initial selections we made for the design of the house. As someone who visits dozens of newly constructed homes annually, I am very aware of the quality and pricing of the competition facing Zimmermann Homes, so when I say that you can't beat the "bang for the buck", I'm confident that it's true. The quality of the architectural structure, design, construction, and home efficiency are truly unmatched at the price point offered by Zimmermann Homes. More than anything, Rob and his team are really good to work with. It's expected that things will go awry at some point in building a custom home, whether it's a schedule delay, design issue, permit snag, or selection that is out of stock. Recognizing this, Zimmermann Homes is creative dealing with such issues and they do whatever is necessary to minimize disruption and stress for the home-owner. Rob has built an incredible business for home construction in the Northern VA area and I can't think of a better company to work with when building a home. He has put together a team of experts that seamlessly work together so that issues are resolved quickly and most of the time it is done behind the scenes, making the customer's experience much better. I would be remiss if I didn't give shout-outs to the members of Rob's team. Darren is amazing at helping you design a home that works for your individual needs, while being very aesthetically pleasing to the eye, both inside and out. Christina and her team are the best in the business when it comes to the color schemes and styles, making your budget go as far as possible with the selections for appliances, tile, cabinets, countertops, and lighting. Finally, Jim J. is a savant when it comes to managing the overall project and making sure that the customer gets exactly what he/she wants, at the highest level of quality throughout. His attention to detail will always amaze me and any other customer he has ever had. I couldn't be happier with the final product. Friends, family, and neighbors that visit are amazed at how well it came out, especially during a worldwide pandemic. I could not endorse Zimmermann Homes more highly. They are the best at what they do. When I build my next house, there is no doubt that I will ask Rob and his team to work with me again! - The Scardino Family (again), Arlington, VA

Just wanted to say that my husband and I have nothing but stellar things to say about Eruda Design…read more& Build. I know they don't have a lot of online presence, but my best friend referred me to them after getting her kitchen remodeled, and they are freaking AWESOME. They are fair priced, on-time, and don't cut corners. Also they genuinely care about making their customers' visions come true. My husband and I recently purchased a home and wanted to modernize our kitchen but didn't have the budget to do a full-on kitchen renovation. We got (or tried to get) a couple of quotes from "reputable" companies in the area. One never showed, another promised us a quote and never got around to it, a third gave us a startling low quote after requesting pictures via text but their attitude & the quote did not sit right with us at all. And lastly, this duo team from Eruda Design & Build - I kid you not - came by THREE times, in person, to brainstorm with us different design ideas & to ensure the measurements were correct. Even from the get-go they were above and beyond others, but even during the renovation process, they did not disappoint. For example, I had requested my fridge to be moved to a different wall, and while they were reconfiguring all the plumbing, they found this rusting pipe that was slowly leaking water which was covered by some panels in the HVAC that even our home inspector didn't find. They let us know immediately (even though it was beyond the scope of the project) because they worried about the long-term effects of water damage that could have on our home and replaced the pipe for us. They met us at their warehouse to brainstorm & choose the quartz countertop with us, and then even met us at the tile shop to choose a backsplash together. For my husband and I who sort of had an idea of what we wanted but wasn't sure if they were the right "choices" - this kind of personal level of service was sooo helpful. In addition, they also are so handy! Did our light fixtures and even mounted a TV for us. To top it all off, they gave us a pull-out cabinet as a home welcoming gift. And as you can see from the pictures, they did an AMAZING job. It looks so much more chic and my husband and I are so grateful to Mr. Sungho and his team!

We bought our house from Steele and team in December of 2016 and could not be happier, both with…read morethe construction and quality of the house as well as the service the team has shown during the warranty period after the sale was consummated. It's hard enough to figure out what differentiates Falls Church from Silver Spring when you're moving to the area from California, let alone who to trust when buying a new construction house. We weren't set on new construction, but hoping to put down 20-year roots, we wanted something solid that would be home for not just us, but a good spot for all of our kids friends to come hang out. And though it's only been about five months that we've lived here, this house has been everything we hoped it would be. We bought it post-construction, so we weren't able to customize it to the ways we wanted it, but we've talked to Steele since we bought the house about the other places that he's building, and those that have customers who are buying before completion are able to customize the features and accoutrements to their liking. We've had some issues (specifically around regular punch-list items like caulking, molding and paint touch ups) as well as some larger issues (the smoke alarms have malfunctioned a few times) and in every scenario, Steele has been incredibly responsive and quick to react to get things fixed. He's got a family of his own -- I think he really understands. In addition, we've been so impressed with the house and his workmanship that we contracted with him to build an enclosed deck on the back of the house and he's kept us in the loop at every step of the process. He has been a pleasure to work with, and the house has exceeded our expectations. I would heartily recommend purchasing a Potomac Legacy home if you have the option.
