When the work he did complete failed, he refused to return to correct it. He had no reviews on his Google profile. Then suddenly he had old reviews showing. Seemed odd. Like using bots or getting all of his friends to suddenly write reviews. I felt like I was being pressured into things I didn't want. He promised to do work that he didn't make good on. The son is running the business. Seems like he doesn't respect his father. He tries to appear all superior. Maybe an oldest child syndrome or something. He didn't tell me the truth and the work wasn't what I asked for, but what he wanted to do.

A few days ago I called Style and spoke with Nick about a single shingle that appeared to have recently been lifted at the edge by wind or an animal.

We contracted Martin to do the large scale job of renovating our home on Capitol Hill, DC. Martin was extremely unprofessional, constantly missing deadlines, asking for large amounts of extra money, working extremely slow and was unreachable for the entire month of December, not doing any work on the home and refusing to answer calls or texts. Martin also keeps a deplorable job site, and these conditions permanently damaged expensive finishes in our home, which must now be replaced (see photos of permanent wood stain spilled on marble counter and tile floor, as well as paint/compound on new hardwood floors). After another two weeks of no work being done and Martin avoiding phone calls, We finally decided to take the large financial loss, terminate his contract via text (which he never responded to) and hire a new contractor to finish the work he did not complete. The attached photos of the condition he left our house in speak for themselves.

Martin and his team are the absolute best. They helped us with everything from design of our new…read morebasement to painting and plumbing. It was completely pleasant, seamless and stress free to work with them-- which we know from experience is very rare in the home renovation space. Martin truly cares and really wants to make his clients happy -- and this shows in his work. We would highly recommend him to everyone we know for just about any job. If he can't do the work himself, he has great contacts with other contractors who will be able to help. (We has excellent experiences with every single one of his contacts, too). There's really no reservation whatsoever in recommending Martin as a highly professional and highly skilled contractor. Whenever gets to work with him is lucky!

When we decided to have the ugly aluminum siding on our house removed and the original 1925 wood…read moresiding restored on our Del Ray home, we asked folks around the neighborhood for recommendations. Everyone warned us about SethAnne Studios. The word on the street was that they do beautiful work, but they never saw a budget or a timeline that they could meet. When I interviewed the owner/project manager Tom, I told him that his reputation was mixed and I asked him to please be honest about the cost and timeline. He ASSURED me that he wouldn't let me down. We even decided to pad his original estimate by 15% just in case there were any unexpected problems. ( We did encounter a larger portion of replacement siding required than we originally thought, which accounted for an extra $1500 , which had no problem with). We told him that we would hire them because his workers do such nice work ( we went to several other completed houses) . What we did not know is that SethAnne Studios was so over-booked and poorly managed that they had to hire a completely different company ( Avalon Builders) to come do all the carpentry and yet another company to do the painting. SethAnne's workers never even touched our house! When we got the bill, he billed us for the original amount, PLUS, a mark-up because he had to sub-out the job! He went over budget by almost 33%!!!! To add insult to injury, he billed us for his personal time ( project management) at 95 bucks an hour for 8 hours a week! We paid him nearly 1000 dollars a week to POORLY manage our project! Plus, they added costs along the way which I feel were wasteful, like the 395 bucks for dumpster rental ( they never brought a dumpster) . They billed us 5000 dollars for 24 linear feet of porch railing. Really? ( I didn't' pay that) We asked very early on for grey paint. We gave them samples of what we wanted, but they thought our house should be grey-brown, so they painted 4 samples of brown ( and one blue?) on the side of our house (2 x 2 ft squares) and charged us 125 bucks for 5 quarts of paint! We didn't WANT brown paint, but I suspect that if they had been able to recommend a color , they would have been able to charge us the 2500 "design fee" . We refused to pay that, since they didn't "design" anything. At every turn, these people have been unprofessional, never rude or obnoxious, more like clueless. Now, here we sit , nearly two months late on our project, the house has been painted and he still can't find the time to have the workers come hang the shutters. They promised us to have them done tuesday, but since it rained they couldn't hang them. Wednesday was bright and sunny, but still no shutters....why?....because now the workers were on to some other project! We're back down the list again. These people have no idea how to manage a project or to meet a budget. They over-promise under-deliver. They don't have enough workers to finish jobs on time and should not take on more than one job at a time because they lack the management skills to juggle multiple projects successfully. I would warn anyone against using this company to work on your home. My experience is exactly what all the others warned me about, but none of them ever went as far as to say "don't use them". Well, I am saying, I will never use them again and if I were you, I'd look elsewhere for home repairs/design/construction in Del Ray. SethaAnne Builders will disappoint you every step of the way.

It was a very positive experience. Their professionalism and design advice were excellent ,and well suited to both our house style and our personal tastes. In fact our house now looks so great, we have random people walking by our house stop to ask us who helped with the design and color selection. And, we've had people ask us to email them photos of our home, so they can try to convince their adjacent neighbors to choose similar colors when repainting their homes! We have also toured several of the homes that SethAnne Studios have remodeled in the Del Ray area. Their craftmanship, attention to detail, and designs are just wonderful. If we decide to do more remodeling/design work at our house, we will definitely call SethAnne Studios first.
