Once again, he delivered! He worked on my timeline for a fair price- this time doing almost all the work himself. He was great with my dog and kids, came by on weekends when needed and was fine with several last minute requests. We're moving to Alexandria and I'm glad that's in his service area because we will definitely use him again! ------------------------------------------------ I have to give this crew 5-stars. I could not be more pleased. Jim is the owner of the business. He's really friendly and really responsive- he answered my frantic texts and calls on the day of his daughter's WEDDING! But his worker Mr. Miguel is really where it's at. Mr. Miguel is so friendly. He pets my dog, talks to my kids and is really responsive whenever I inquire about a specific task. They have done about 5 days of work at my house and nearly everyday, Mr. Miguel is here until 8 p.m. or later. As I write this, he is on my porch fixing some dry rot by the light of a spotlight and my porch light. Don't worry, I fed him pizza. :) one day, he and the crew worked for an afternoon in the snow! I hired the crew to paint all my outdoor trim and fix a pretty significant amount of dry rot on my window sills and chimney. It's almost all completed and it looks really nice! They worked on a tight timeline too! Their rates are really great... not the cheapest, but still about 300 dollars cheaper than two other companies we got quotes from, and they were able to start just a day or two later. Jim came by today for a final walk-through and I pointed out a couple sections of the sills that I thought needed replaced and not just painted. Mr. Miguel was out here less than 3 hours later to fix it. I wouldn't hesitate to hire this company.

I put my down deposit in October and the 1st renovation for granite tops were completed within a…read morefew weeks. However other renovations took 5 months to complete and the workmanship was either rushed or not completed. Subcontractors didn't use a tarp over the AC/electrical box. The deck had a birds nest on it before/after it was painted, indicating that it wasn't power washed before the paint job. We agreed to use paint that would seal the wood splinters for the deck, he used paint that made the chipping worse. I paid to have the AC unit leveled, he placed a block of wood under it versus use gravel like agreed. The tile job was uneven, so he had his subcontractors redo it using spacers. When it was addressed again that the tile job was still uneven, he realized that the tiles were not the same size and would not fix the issue. Then my bathroom door wouldn't close and the tile job lifted the carpet from the master bedroom. I paid for him to fix my roof, but did not provide me with the contact information of the roofer. After another inspector came to check the work, it was discovered that no repairs were done. When confronting him about this, he did not respond and he kept my money. I waited 5 months after the work was supposed to be completed, it was terrible workmanship, some of the work was never completed, and he kept my money.

2nd review. 3 years…read moreago I left a glowing review about Colonial. Chas Kubrick is AMAZING!! They were professional, the construction team did a fabulous job and I think I only found 3 nails. I purchased the upgraded roof and upgrade to beautiful Hardie siding. Fast forward and I'm leaving a 1 star review. Why? Because they only warranty their work product for 2 years a little but important fact that must have been in the contract and I missed. It certainly wasn't spoken. I recall reviewing the Hardie as well as the CertainTeed Roof warranties but nothing about a 2 year warranty from Colonial. Given that information would I have chosen a different company? Of course! I have 2 major problems, a leak inside of my sunroom as well as a problem with the siding which has destroyed a window and French door. A technician came out for the door and explained the when the siding was installed on the deck, they failed to do the flashing. And well, you can see in results in the pictures. When contractors come to provide estimates without missing a beat, each says I shouldn't be having these problems after 4 years and that Colonial should repair. I explain the 2 year clause and they laugh. So, here we are, either file a claim with the roof and siding manufacturers, pay out of pocket OR file a claim with my insurance company. Each option sucks because I went with a company which doesn't provide an actual warranty for their work product. Don't be me, be better.

Several months ago I started searching for a home improvement company to renovate my single family…read morehouse in Arlington, VA. Within the morass of companies vying for my business, I was lucky enough to find The Carpenters of Georgetown based out of Washington, DC. It has been my experience that a lot can be said about a business from it's owner. From the first meeting with Nash Peart I was taken by his personableness and attention to my specific needs about the project. After taking the time to talk with me at length he sent along an estimate that fell nicely within the bids I was considering. I approved his bid after some modifications, and the construction started right on time. Mr. Peart oversaw the entirety of it. His crew were always respectful and seemed to go out of their way to clean up at the end of the days work. This point was of particular importance since my wife and family were still living in the house during the process. The final result was nothing short of wonderful. I have never had my home renovated, and maybe I'm gushing too much, but I was very impressed with the result. I have a new kitchen, two new bathrooms and rooms with renewed functionality and life. It seems that my confidence was not misplaced. Carpenters of Georgetown and Mr. Peart's dedication and attention to detail are not to be undersold. I would certainly hire them in the future.

We bought a house that Carpenters of Georgetown flipped. Just a week after we moved in, the…read morebasement was flooded (you can see pictures in my google maps review). We contacted Nash on the phone and email many times, and he finally replied with a short: ¨I will be in touch shortly.¨ That gave us hope that he would actually do something to help us repair their terrible job. He never got in touch again, I guess we have called him more than 50 times and at least the same amount of emails, you can imagine the frustration generated by this person and his company after making the biggest investment of our life. For what I see, I not only think he is not a great developer, but he is also a coward that runs away from problems. In fact, we talked to him before buying the house and he said things like: ¨I wouldn´t sell a house that is not safe¨ or ¨It´s not necessary to get a home warranty¨. We trusted him and that was our big mistake. Obviously, I don´t recommend them at all, but if you are going to do anything with him, make him provide you a warranty so you won´t have to be chasing him (and losing time and patience) the week after he leaves. We have already spent a good amount of money fixing the basement (and many more things) and we just have the option of suing him, something that we didn´t want. I guess by doing this we will finally get a response from him...

I reached a point with the new contractor where I was ready to stop work with a vote of no confidence because my contractor did not follow the tub installation instructions, which could be a huge deal that leads to costly repairs in the future. I reached back out to Bob to see if he had the bandwidth to take on the re-do work that I had convinced myself was required. Bob was able to zoom me *that day* to address my concerns and let me know that while the existing work isn't super awesome, it also isn't terrible and doesn't necessarily need to be re-done. This call was of no financial benefit to Hunter Contracting but IMO speaks VOLUMES to their integrity. I would hire them in a second to do work on my home.

He showed up when he said he would and he as very responsive to messaging. The day he showed up, another person showed up with him. He explained this person would be doing the work. He initially stated the project would probably take all day. This was not the case. He charged me $500 for 1.5 hours of work and they re-used all of the extra materials from our home. When he came back later to get paid and check on the work, I asked if it was still $500 because the guy wasn't here for even 2 hours. He said yes. Ok. I'm still on board at this point because I don't really know much about pricing (but $500, using no materials....that's like $200 an hour!). I called him again about our two bathroom faucets leaking, which I had showed him when he came to get paid. He said he could fix them. Said he would call. Didn't. Messaged me for pictures. And literally never called or responded back to my messages. Do not use this company. They take you for your money and leave you hanging when you need something.
