They tore off our old exterior stairs structure and siding, waterproofed the entire wall, and installed new siding and a stairs structure that is far superior to the old one. Their integrity and work quality are off the charts. The owner, Ahmad Khreshi, did thorough research before starting our well-planned project. I was impressed by his knowledge of current construction techniques and dedication to doing the job right. There were several problems that required Ahmad to think outside of the box, one being how to install siding under our existing power lines conduit which was mounted to the exterior wall at six different points. Several times, Ahmad's crew discovered water damage due to poor work by our developer. Ahmad was extremely flexible in adding repair of that damage into his work plan on top of the bid-upon work. Ahmad was kind and fair, listened to our concerns, answered our questions, kept us in the loop, worked with us on timing, and gave us a couple breaks. His crew was extremely professional and respectful, taking off their shoes when they had to come through the building and isolating interior work areas with plastic sheet dividers. When our project was completed, Ahmad send us the following. I've never worked with a contractor who followed up with an offer of help like this: "Remember, you can always reach out with any technical building related questions, in any trades. I'm more than happy to give advice and guidance on code matters or general best practices, even if you are hiring other people."

Where to even begin? It took us a year and a half and eight contractors later to find Ahmad and we…read moreare so glad we waited and didn't give up on our garage addition! From start to finish Ahmad and his crew were fantastic. From the very beginning Ahmad provided the most thorough breakdown of what was to be expected, delivered and completed. There were never any surprises, he is one you can trust with your home and treats it as if it's his. He under promised and over delivered. Ahmad and his crew had a keen sense of attention to detail that made us very happy and left the neighbors extremely impressed. He was here everyday and was quick to respond if/when needed. Ahmad was extremely patient, knowledgeable and answered all of the many questions I had morning and night. The crew left the site clean and organized ready for the next day. They worked tirelessly morning and night and were extremely respectful and kind. He is honest and fair and produces fantastic work, something that is rare to come by these days. I will be using Ahmad for all our future Contracting needs! Thank you, Ahmad and crew!

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

Sekas is a wonderful builder. I have been living in my Sekas home in Vienna since February and my…read moredaughter, our dogs and I love the house and the neighborhood. Jack, Bryan and Betsy were wonderful to work with. They made the process so easy and were very patient with me during the whole thing. They were great with custom requests and accommodated my request to have a dog bath build in the mud room. I had a home inspection done and my inspector found few items and reported back that the quality of the house is outstanding. Yes, their houses are pricey and the upgrades add up but it was absolutely worth it for my family. We lived in Arlington before moving here and were impacted by the massive flood in July of 2019. I had 6 feet of water in my basement and everything was destroyed. Insurance didn't cover any of it and the process of clean up/rebuilding/replacing core systems was taxing on me. Then in 2020 with the summer storms coming through it became stressful because we didn't know if it was going to happen again even with all of the exterior mitigation work I had done. I know now that the Arlington house will never flood again but it was a huge factor in our decision to move. I didn't want to move again but when I found the opportunity to build with Sekas it was an easy decision to make. I'm not planning on moving for a long time, but if I did, I would definitely build with Sekas again. I can sleep easy knowing that we are living in a beautiful house and that our neighborhood was designed to withstand a 100 year flood! Thank you !

I would have to second the comment that Sekas homes are tone deaf to the surrounding neighbors…read more My example was a house that they were building was in a small cu-de-sac. Every individual subcontractor (and each labor's big truck) filled our cu-de-sac everyday for 2 months. They ignored one neighbors suggestion to park unneeded vehicles approximately 150 feet away on the cross street. On several occasions, they double parked and blocked traffic. I started calling their headquarters and complained about their traffic to the receptionist; however, nothing was done to address the issue. After calling their headquarters and complaining about the traffic a second time, I talked to a manager and said that I was going to call the police. I then went out and told several of the laborers that I was going to call the police. Almost magically the double parked trucks and other trucks started to leave. I suggest to everyone to skip talking to the labors and call the police first. The laborers don't care and their managers don't care either.

My family and I commenced this process as soon as the company opened its doors. Regrettably, due to…read morea lack of communication between the management and the general public, it took us over a year to even begin. From them having a floor plan advertised that we later learned that they couldn't provide to us. To us having a contact on a lot to then learn that the home style we wanted we couldn't get on that lot because they had lots pre-permitted. They had to cancel our contract. We wanted to change the floor plan based on the options we could build. Then we were told we had to wait for one specific lot, exactly where the trailer sat. Despite all of that, we believed in what they were selling and waited. Now I regret it. The only issues I do not hold them responsible for are the weather conditions and the timing of the installation of utilities for the community. We engaged with four sales representatives, and I can confidently say that I have had positive experiences with each of them. However, my primary concerns arose during the completion of my home. While the company offers a warranty, I find it perplexing that I am compelled to submit multiple warranty claims for a newly constructed home. Before even reaching the one-month mark, we encountered problems. The siding on our home is consistently coming off, not completely, but it is lifting. The company has had to "repair" it three times within six months. I can already see where it is lifting again. Additionally, the siding is wavy. I was informed that this is due to the sun and the color of the siding. I was advised to wait, but despite taking all the necessary steps, nothing has been addressed. Furthermore, there is another home with the same color siding and orientation to the sun, but it does not exhibit the same wavy siding characteristics. The flooring in our home is also lifting, and I was told that this is within the company's allowance. However, why should any flooring be lifting? In certain areas, it produces a "tap" sound because the flooring is not flush with the subfloor. This is unacceptable. We paid an additional amount for oak stairs, and now we have "slats". The space has grown to the point where I can fit a credit card between the gaps. We have experienced electrical issues. I was informed that it is possible that we, as the homeowner, may be the cause. When I attempted to use a vacuum cleaner, it tripped the power. Upon submitting a claim, I was informed that a "one-time courtesy" could be extended, but it would need to be waited two weeks for the "soonest" appointment. Therefore, I was required to wait two weeks without power in two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a hallway. I contacted Diana at the sales office, and she was able to advocate on my behalf, resulting in the appointment being moved up by another week. Upon the electrician's arrival, he identified the hazard. He tightened the loose wires and replaced a faulty arc. However, was this the consumer's fault, as the warranty office tried to previously elude? We had other options of builders, but we chose Stanley Martin, and I am disappointed that we did so. Regardless of the costs of the home, every homeowner deserves the quality that they advertise. I am highly dissatisfied, and when we decide to move on, I will know which builder to avoid.
