I called him and he immediately went to work with my request for building a conex box residence in DC. Seth took his time with me and spoke with me like I was his only client. He asked all the right questions and went out of his way to explain the process in detail. He even researched the property while we were talking. All in all, It looks like I won't be needing his services. However, if he treats his clients the same way he treated me (a complete stranger on the phone), you are in good hands.

Broadhurst Architects are the most creative, patient, good-natured team of professionals I have…read moreever worked with. We interviewed three other architects before choosing Broadhurst Architects to design a new 750 sq. foot addition replacing a smaller, inefficient addition for our 1925 built home. The project also included the remodeling of the existing kitchen, a new back porch and interior door and molding upgrades to the original house. I am sure we weren't the easiest customers to work with. Jeff Broadhurst and his team had a huge challenge. I had dreams of large, dedicated spaces built within a tiny footprint. After listening to our quirky idiosyncrasies and complicated list of must haves, Jeff presented many creative options at different price points. Once we reached design Eureka, we sent it out to bid. We chose a contractor Broadhurst had never worked with that I had brought to the table. The contractor seemed agreeable and capable but after construction began it became obvious he had made only a cursory review of the scope of work prior to submitting the winning bid. Jeff and Hisao's professionalism extended to managing a difficult construction process with our disengaged contractor and his lackadaisical crew. We would never have made it through the process without their guidance and their many interventions. Now that construction is over, the end results far exceed our expectations. We have beautiful spaces that are much larger than I could ever have imagined. The attention to detail Broadhurst put into the molding and finishing choices shine through. We couldn't be happier and love sitting in our new spaces admiring the design and function. Everyone who enters our home immediately experience the "Wow Factor". We would use Broadhurst Architects again in a heartbeat and would be happy to recommend him to anyone in need of a patient, proficient, kind and extremely talented architectural team.

Evan was recommended to us by friends who strongly suggested giving him a free rein, and I am so glad that we followed their advice!

I was looking for a specific service (structural inspection) & started a project request via Yelp…read moreto receive quotes. Bitarchitects provided a prompt response, prompt call phone consultation & next steps. Within 1 week of contact I was able to discuss my concerns, the engineer completed a thorough walk through of my home & gave me ample amount of time view discuss my concerns. More importantly they didn't drag out the walkthrough for hours!! I appreciate the honest responses to help distinguish between normal settlement & items that are concerning. I'm waiting on the written report (inspection was completed one business day before writing this review) to proceed with the fixes. I strongly urge spending time & money on an inspection from a structural engineer before spending $$$$ for repairs that aren't needed. Prior to contacting I had 2 vendors try to sell me solutions for problems I didn't have. The price I paid for the inspection literally saved me $$,$$$. My selection of Bitarchitects was because they heard my initial concern, were quick to provide service, & provided communication from initial inquiry to the day of service.

Terry Bitar and her team were great to work with every step of the project. They handled things large and small to successfully complete the project. It was easy to communicate with the team, both on big picture issues and on smaller logistical issues. Bitarchitects listened to us and provided us with options and expertise to navigate the task of structural reinforcements for our 100-year old DC home. I also appreciated that, in addition to talking through things, they neatly put things in writing so there was a clear documentation of the project. -- We had an urgent concern with a structural issue in our old house so we reached out to Bitarchitects based on their good reviews here. We received a prompt response and soon had an engineer evaluating our house. The engineer was thorough, helpful, and went above and beyond. He provided a lot of valuable insight both on site and then in a comprehensive written report. I also appreciate that Bitarchitects is able to help me find vendors to complete the work recommended in the engineering report. I have had a great experience from the start and would recommend Bitarchitects to other homeowners.

I…read morewas on the board at my previous condo for 18 years, I have been on my current condo board for eight years, and Home Perfection Contracting is the best and most professional contractor I have ever worked with. 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!

From our first meeting, Sarah truly got what we were looking for and helped us create a home that is absolutely perfect for our family. We had a vision in our mind but could never truly articulate it, Sarah took all our comments, thoughts and feelings and created a house that is more than we imagined possible. Sarah's commitment to her clients and her work is remarkable. Sarah was with us every step of the way, from design to move in and beyond. Sarah's creative use of space allowed us to build a home that exceeds the needs of our busy family while still reflecting the old world charm we desired. We are repeatedly told that our house looks like it has always been there and fits the lot beautifully, this is all thanks to Sarah. We truly cannot recommend Sarah more highly.
