This review is just for the initial process, I have no idea of the quality of the work that they…read moredo, it could be terrific but I will never know. Reached out to them as my wife and I are interested in remodeling both of our bathrooms and had received several recommendations so I was interesting in talking with them. Since I had already done demo on the guest, I had a framework of a layout for the guest and master baths and shared that with Glickman. Doug and Tim (I think was his name?) met with my wife and I, looked over the space, talked with us, gave us their approach, how this would work, etc. Tim presented some potential alternatives that were interesting but that would greatly increase the scope of the remodel. Both gentlemen were very professional and polite but the conversation circled back to budget several times and the numbers that they were referencing were quite a bit higher than the range that we were thinking, which at time, I thought, 'ok, I am completely off the mark?'. After some discussion with my wife, we decided that we wanted to make a slight change to the master bathroom layout so I sent Doug the updated drawing for the framework that we were thinking. This was on a Monday. Fast forward to the following Wednesday (9 days later), I finally hear back from Doug saying that Glickman will have to pass as: "We don't think you would be happy with how this would look" "We don't want you to have buyer's remorse" "You wouldn't be happy with a smaller tub" It's every business' right to pass on work, I have no problems with that but it's the manner in which this was communicated by telling me how I would feel. If you are THAT worried about how I would feel, perhaps propose some alternatives? Especially since I repeatedly stated that it was a design framework and I didn't know if it would even work? Or perhaps just say "We don't think we can give you what you are looking for". Also, with regards to the budget numbers, I've now spoken to 6 different remodelers, the numbers that Glickman were throwing out are still 30% higher than the next highest number. And these other remodelers are reputable design/build establishments. It's possible that the numbers I'm getting are deceiving so will have to see how it all pans out. If Glickman is focused on higher end, higher budget work, then that's perfectly ok but make that clear at the start.

I am so looking forward to engaging this firm soon for a large second story design build renovation…read moreor total makeover. Sometimes quality speaks for itself and there are those that post negatively without merit as in the post before me. As a small business owner, we're often faced with making decisions with limited resources. I understand Mr. Glickman's reply and can respect it. The sad fact is that according to you (Anne M.) with 7 firms already quoting why spend so much energy slandering this one single firm; unless it comes with an agenda. Hmmm? From the sounds of things you already have more than plenty of contractors tied up in spoiling you with quotes but no work. Says more about you than Glickman Design as one to three quotes is the norm but seven. SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!!! :( As the owner of a small firm, I can understand why this gentleman didn't want to waste his time. I wouldn't waste mine either. I have a very large project that I would like to get underway soon and the only firm in sight for us....Is Glickman Design Build as their work literally speaks for itself!

I posted a review a year ago that was not flattering to Remodelmate. The destruction they caused to…read moremy home in the process of "renovating" it was pretty catastrophic. And it was expensive. I see that today, Chad Hall, the owner responded to my review with blatant lies. I was not refunded. I sued and won my case (Fairfax County General District Court case number GV18005396-00). Then my attorneys spent months trying to collect on my judgement. In the meantime, I had to find another contractor to completely demolish what Remodelmate did and start anew. I even had to replace my carpet on the upper floor due to paint spills and the floor on the main level due to a flood caused by the contractor. Less than zero stars would be appropriate. Buyer beware.

My wife and I were very disappointed by our experience attempting to work with Remodelmate. The…read moreonly positive thing I can say is that we didn't have to sign a contract for the whole project up front, and that allowed us to back out after it became clear that they were not being upfront about how much they were going to charge us for the work when all was said and done. We first contacted Remodelmate in March 2022 after realizing that there was significant damage to the sewer drain pipe connecting to the toilet in the bathroom of our fixer-upper. Because we knew this was going to be a big issue, we jumped on a call with Chad early-on to confirm that repairing/replacing this was included in the estimate (list of "Milestones") they provided so that we could fairly compare it against other estimates that also included it. Chad assured us that it was included and noted that they remodel bathrooms in various conditions with all sorts of problems, and this isn't really that big of a deal. We made the mistake of taking his word for it. Relying on the list of Milestones and their corresponding prices, and our conversation with Chad, we decided to work with Remodelmate. We paid them a $250 deposit, an additional $500 for professional design, and purchased thousands of dollars in materials in anticipation of the start date they assigned us. Much to our surprise, when the contractor showed up on our start date they almost immediately informed us that the sewer drain was not included and would add approximately $4,500 to the cost. The contractor also informed us that a number of other charges had been omitted from the List of Milestones, and there would be significant additional charges to complete the job they helped us design. On the day the work was supposed to start, the total cost for the job went from just over $12,000 to more than $21,000. We immediately contacted Remodelmate expecting that they would honor what Chad told us with regard to the sewer drain. This time we were put in touch with Logan, who initially agreed to talk with Chad to determine whether there was a misunderstanding, but he never gave us an explanation despite repeated requests. He matter-of-factly explained that we would have to pay the full additional charge if we wanted to proceed with the work, and we never heard from Chad again. It was infuriating. We did not understand how Remodelmate could provide us with a design, and what we understood was a complete estimate, only to then say they left out almost half of the steps needed to complete the project as designed. To their credit, Remodelmate ultimately acknowledged mistakes were made and offered a couple of small freebies, but nothing that came close to making up for grossly underestimating the cost of the work, which caused us to choose them in the first place. We were fortunate that at the time we realized who we were dealing with we were only out the $750 + materials, and still had the option to walk away. I'm thankful that we were able to find another reputable company to do the work that was honest and up front with us about the true cost of the work. At first, I worried that may be this is just how the remodeling business works, but we didn't have any of these problems with the company who ultimately did the work on our bathroom. If you decide to go with Remodelmate I would suggest recording any phone conversations with them and if you intend to rely on a commitment from them be sure that every word of it is in writing.

After I posted my review in April, Scott Dijulio contacted us shortly thereafter, which was…read moreappreciated. However, the conversation wasn't about how to make things right. It was more of "sorry you feel that way" and to vehemently defend himself. Sorry, taking that tone is never a successful strategy and not how to build and sustain lasting business or any kind of lasting relationship. I consider myself a reasonable, understanding and forgiving person and don't like to give out negative reviews. I have even changed ratings from 3 stars to 5 stars because the owners kept their pride in check and stood behind their guarantee of 100% customer satisfaction. Whether or not Scott agrees with what the customer says, perception is each person's reality. I stand firm with my 3 star rating for DiJulio Contracting.

I bought a very old house and he took took my creepy unfinished basement and turned it in to a masterpiece.

I loved working with his company so much that plan to ask him to redo my kitchen in the summer. Highly recommend.

We've done two pretty sizable projects with FGS - our entire first floor, including kitchen and a…read morefull bath, and an outdoor backyard oasis. Both projects were a painless process, mostly stress free due to FGS's open and clear communication. FGS will always be our go-to contractor - they're not the cheapest, but the quality of their work cannot be beat, and again, their ability to communicate any problems in a clear way puts them a mile above any other contractor we've worked with. They anticipate all the questions you'll have and keep you informed every step of the way. Highly highly recommend them to everyone!

Having had less-than-great experiences with contractors in the past, we were especially appreciative that FGS proved to be a true exception. Every aspect of the job was handled professionally and with careful attention to detail. Fredy, our initial contact, listened thoughtfully to our needs, developed a clear plan of action, and guided us through decisions as unexpected issues arose. Tammy, in the office, served as our main point of contact and patiently answered our many questions before, during, and after the project. She truly "held our hand" throughout the process in a friendly, reassuring way. A special shout-out goes to Luis, who did the actual work. There seemed to be nothing he couldn't do, and everything he touched--from plumbing and tile to drywall repair and electrical--was completed with exceptional craftsmanship. He also offered practical, experience-based suggestions along the way. We genuinely enjoyed working with him each day and were consistently impressed by his perfectionism, skill, knowledge, and commitment to getting things right. We highly recommend FGS Construction for anyone considering their next project.

From start to finish, the planning, communication, and workmanship were truly top tier. We worked with a team of dedicated professionals who consistently listened to our requests, ideas, and concerns throughout the entire process. The transparency was especially appreciated, with access to an online portfolio that kept us informed every step of the way. We are absolutely thrilled with the finished product--so much so that we're already moving on to our next project with Molly! If you're considering a renovation, look no further.

We hired Cornerstone remodeling for a master bath, kitchen remodel that included new flooring for…read morethe entire first floor. The end result is absolutely beautiful. We truly appreciated the patience and ease of the initial design phase. The bathroom layout was challenging due to the space available. Kyle and Hannah offered multiple designs, met our questions and requests with a positive attitude and provided excellent suggestions. They worked with us until we got it just right. After the designs were set, the fun part of selecting materials began. What felt overwhelming was made easy and fun with the designer assigned to our project. Hannah was an absolute pleasure to work with. She has an excellent eye for color and space. The end result is a cohesive design that is pulled together with the design elements we chose. One word of advice for both Cornerstone and future customers, know your appliance selections before ordering cabinets. We weren't aware of the level of importance of this step. You would think that refrigerators have standard sizes but they don't. It's more general. Understanding what a 36" range looks like compared to a 48" range will make a big difference knowing what is then available for counter space and cabinet options. Design changes after cabinets are ordered are nearly impossible. For us, all appliances were available for delivery in about 3 weeks with the exception of the range, which wasn't available for 3 months. The kitchen was finished almost a month before the range arrived. Understanding when to place the order is helpful. Cornerstone recommends a local appliance company that is reputable and easy to work with. It took a couple of weeks to work through all of the options and make our choices. We started a little too late and experienced some frustration because of that. What impressed us most was the quality workmanship, professionalism and respect for our home shown by every Cornerstone employee and also every sub contractor provided for the project. We've had other smaller projects in our home and can't say the same. It's obvious that Cornerstone has high standards and expectations for anyone they send to their customer's homes. The end result for the bathroom, first floor flooring and kitchen is absolutely spectacular. Look at their instagram and you will see. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company to family and friends and already have.

There was never a complaint when I asked for something to be done the way I wanted it (example was lining up the tile seams on the wall with the seams on the floor). Just make sure you are there for them and communicate exactly what you want. 2-way communication is key to success with any contractor. One stand out situation that was handled well was a mix-up in the grout color between wall and floor. To their credit, the installers asked me what the colors should be before going ahead with the install. Good thing they did since the documentation had them swapped. If they had not asked it would have been a disaster; but not because of them. Thanks for confirming. Scope of our project was 2 full baths (new: tile, vanity, counter tops, lighting, mirrors, ventilation fans, shower doors), dinning room (new French Doors), 4 bedrooms (with closets and new ceiling fans), wood flooring (replacing carpet), and crown molding throughout. House age is 27 years. Location: Rockville Town Center. The result was a completed project to our liking on time and within expected budget. Quality of the work is very good. Workers don't smoke, show up on time, are pleasant to work with, sealed off our living space from dust, cleaned up every night, and get the job done with the minimum of disruption. I would highly recommend MSC for work of this type. We will plan to use them again on future projects. Thank again.

The quality of the work was high, they helped us create a design that optimized our space, and the outcome was exactly what we expected. Most importantly, the employees-- from the office staff to the workers-- were always courteous, responsive, and highly skilled.

We've worked with several construction companies over the years, and this was by far our best experience. We would highly recommend them.

We had our hearts set on adding a stone patio to our home, but after meeting with a few contractors, it did not work within our budget. When we started considering a deck, we had several contractors say that we could not get the features we wanted (Trex Transcend, black spindles, lighting mounted under the rails, etc.) within our budget. Nick came out to our home, talked with us for several hours, provided an estimate for everything we wanted in our deck, and it was under budget!!! Bruce built our deck; he was very thorough and did a great job. After the deck was completed, we had a problem with the lights not working; both Nick and a person from the lighting company (which is close to where we live) came out to inspect and fix the problem (one of the lights was faulty, but it was replaced the same day). We could not be happier with our deck and the price, quality and service that we received from Classic Remodeling!
