    Ken P.

    Together with four other residents of my building in downtown DC, I searched for months for a contractor to design and create a custom solution for my closets. The existing closet doors were heavy and made it impossible to access half of the closet at any time. We needed a solution that would allow us greater versatility when it came to accessing the inside of the closet, that would look classy, and that wouldn't break the bank. We spoke to national brands that had offices in DC/Maryland/Virginia as well as smaller shops. We got outrageously pricey quotes and limited options from nearly everyone we spoke to, but we kept on searching. Finally, we found District Custom Woodworks and gave them a chance. The yelp reviews were great and we were able to reach somebody quickly when we called. Benton, the owner of the company, came out to our building to meet with us and show us some options, and we could immediately tell that he was an honest, high-quality craftsman who would do his best to help us. Benton measured our closets, showed us options, talked through the prices of various add-ons, and then helped us understand what would work best for each of us. He had a good selection of options. The process was professional at every stage, if a bit slow. The pricing was honest, and there were no surprises. To be clear, custom woodwork is not cheap, especially in the DC area and especially if you want a high-quality product. Just buying non-custom closet doors from Home Depot and paying someone to install them properly is relatively expensive, so you have to keep in mind that having someone design, cut, and install custom doors to fit your unique space will be more expensive. If you choose the most basic options, don't expect to pay less than $2000. That sounds like a lot, but since Benton runs a small business, he is able to set a price that is more competitive than his competitors, so even $2000 is far lower than the $4000+ quotes we had received elsewhere for inferior products. (Note that even some national brands that are comparatively priced end up being more problematic, because they'll design you a set of closet doors themselves, but then have a third party do the installation. This is less than ideal; you want the same company responsible for the whole process if you want to avoid problems down the line, so the fact that Benton's company does the process from soup to nuts is a huge advantage.) After we made our product selections, decided the terms, and submitted our payments, we were all set. From that point on, Benton took the lead and got the project done. We must be honest: it was not as quick as we would have liked. I think we may have overwhelmed Benton because, by agreeing to do work for all five of us at the same time, Benton and his team had to design, source, cut, and install a lot of doors at once. And given that this is a small business, I think it took a bit longer than anticipated. Note also that custom woodwork installation is an iterative process; sometimes, the existing infrastructure in our closet frames (which Benton has nothing to do with) presented its own problems, and it was his first time working with our building. Nevertheless, I want to reiterate that Benton is a clear communicator and an honest person, and even if progress was a bit slow, we got everything we wanted in the end, for a competitive price. The end product--as evidenced by the attached photos--is exactly what I wanted, and it works perfectly. If he does custom closet doors for you, ask him if a "magnet solution" will be a possibility for you; the magnets ended up making my doors particularly functional and durable.) I was so satisfied with Benton's work that I hired District Custom Woodworks separately to install custom shelves in my hall closet and laundry closet, and those custom shelves were likewise extremely well done and were exactly what I had asked him to make, again for a reasonable price. Finally, it is worth noting that while he completed all of my projects (I had him design/install two sets of custom closet doors as well as four custom shelves), Benton maintained a professional, positive attitude and a palpable desire to bring the projects to completion successfully. He is building his small business one project at a time, through his hard work and determination to make his clients happy.

We used KDC to renovate our Kitchen, Master Bathroom, and fix some other issues around the house that involved tiling, plumbing, drywall, etc. We first started with KDC on the kitchen, where we had them install all new countertops, and replace our cabinets, basically a whole kitchen renovation. They handled everything and had people for plumbing, tiling, painting, electrical. Everything was handled for us with minimal involvement other than picking out materials. It was one of the easiest experiences where we picked out what we wanted in their showroom and had their project manager coming to the house to review progress on a consistent basis. With how smoothly the kitchen went, we had KDC fix our guest bathroom where things went just as smooth, and then do a whole renovation of the master bathroom. Similarly, we picked out all of the materials in their showroom and the results were amazing. The quality and craftsmanship is very detailed, with new cabinets, tiling, moving different fixtures to new locations, and installation of everything flawlessly. They even alerted us to a cheaper countertop option that still met our needs. All in all, it seems like KDC worked on half the house and did some in a timely and expert way. We've recommended them to friends and happy to do so for others. It was refreshing trusting someone to do a great job with minimal supervision and we're thrilled with the results.

    Excellent kitchen and master bathroom remodeling done by KBR Fairfax…read more My 2 projects started end of June and completed mid August. I waited to post this review after fully using the kitchen and bathroom for 2 months, and everything has held up great (no issues). Pricing: KBR gave us the best pricing for the quality of work done. We got estimates from Beautiful Home Services and Dream Design Construction, both of which priced similar remodels thousands of $$ higher. Our kitchen and master bathroom remodel total was around $53K for our single family home. Design: Our Designer Burak, Project Manager Hussein, and Assist PM Omar were very nice and professional. Throughout the whole project, we enjoyed working with them, and they were flexible in accommodating our requests. The KBR Manager was clear about the additional cost over runs. Quality: Our estimated project completion was 4 weeks but as with any renovation, we ran into electrical and plumbing issues (from original house) that needed to be corrected. Our actual completion time was 7.5 weeks, but KBR's team of technicians did a VERY thorough job installing new dedicated electrical lines and plumbing. You'd rather have everything done right (licensed and permits) rather than fast. Fairfax County inspectors approved all the electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work. Details: Every day the technicians would prep the work areas to protect the surrounding rooms and cleanup equipment to help keep my children and family safe. The workers arrive early and leave on time daily, and some Saturday's they asked to work to help keep on schedule. KBR sends a truck to pickup the trash and debris every week from our driveway which avoided any issues with our HOA. Tips: if you can, you should dedicate 1 indoor garage space for their team to store equipment and materials. This speeds up daily setup and clean up. Order kitchen appliances from Costco (2 year manuf. warranty + buy Square Trade Extended warranty for 3 years $99-$120). Summary: The results speak for themselves, and my wife and I are very happy with our new Kitchen and Master Bath. Thank you KBR!

It took over "two years" and the County of Fairfax had to get involved for them to take care of us. They did sloppy and unsafe work. This was confirmed by independent inspectors that we hired and the County of Fairfax Permit Department. Below are some highlights. -Multiple Code Violations for electrical, plumbing and structural issues. -Multiple leaks with ceiling damage. -Our master bath had to be demolished 3 times for them to resolve issues that they generated. -Over 100 issues between the 3 bathrooms. Some were cosmetic others were very major and required demolition. KBR is inept, unprofessional and performed outright illegal/unsafe work. I can provide full documentation and photos to confirm this review is honest and accurate.

Compared with some of the larger stores, there are fewer showrooms and the selection feels a little more limited, but it still has that familiar IKEA experience. * One of the smaller IKEA locations I've visited, with fewer showrooms than some of the larger stores. * Like most IKEA locations, the store was very clean and well organized. * There's plenty of parking, so finding a spot wasn't an issue. * The café has fewer food options than other IKEA locations I've visited. * Unfortunately, the salmon dinner isn't available at this location. * I also noticed they don't sell the Daim candy bar, which was a little disappointing. * That said, the Swedish meatballs with lingonberry jam still slap and are always a must-have when visiting IKEA. Overall, it's a smaller location with a more limited selection, but it's still clean, easy to navigate, and has plenty of the IKEA staples. I'd probably visit a larger IKEA if I wanted to explore more showrooms, but this location is still worth stopping by if you're in the area.

What an ordeal a small item has become. Generally I like IKEA. This one won't be going to again. It's better to go to the big and regular version. Am underwhelmed by the experience here. It's missing the usual charm, and so many products. That alone means I'll drive further to Woodbridge.

We converted two rooms plus a hallway into a master suite as well as split two large upstairs rooms into three. We had structural concerns and lots of logistics to work out and I wouldn't trust anyone other than Mike to draw up the plans to make sure everything is safe and up to code. Al oversaw the projects and was in constant communication with us and regularly was on site to make sure everything was going smoothly. If anything wasn't 100% correct or what we had discussed, he would make sure it was remedied. Big shout out to Franz who even showed up to work the day after his wife had a baby! The M3 team worked late days and on weekends (with our consent) to meet their deadlines, even when the county held them up with permitting issues they still worked hard to finish within our timeframe. We even made major changes to our plans after construction had begun and they were able to pivot and help us get more square footage for the upstairs bedrooms. There were also numerous curveballs that they handled with ease (ya never know what you'll get with an old house). This was our first time doing any sort of large project and the team at M3 gave us plenty of guidance and support to make sure the finished product exceeded our expectations. If you want something done right the first time, then I highly recommend contacting M3!! If we stay in this house then you guys won't be done with us yet! -Cristen, Phil and now +2 (!)
