He was straight shooting and honest, and while the bid was a little higher than others it was pretty factual and transparent. The delivery aspect was good... Andy was the project manager and very personable. I did have some trouble with some of the subs, poor communication but overall very good and any upset I had was well handled. Definitely keen to customer service. They are even working with me to get it done in my time frame as I had a baby on the way... So mostly done and live-in-able. Have a few more items to install and the final punch list but so far it's been worth while. They also do a second round of review to ensure customer satisfaction in 10 months.

I chose to work with Craig McCollough because I knew him personally. I was able to meet with him…read moreinformally at first to discuss what having him as a realtor would take. I did not realize that having a realtor as the buyer was a non-negotiable! Not only do you not have to pay for them, but the seller will definitely have one, and you will need somebody on your side. Craig was fantastic. Not only did he help curate places for me to look at, he also assisted in getting me around. As a DC resident, I don't have a car, and taking a bus to look at locations would be a little bit time consuming. He was happy to drive and show me multiple locations. Craig is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects that we encountered in my real estate journey. He was also happy to explain any questions that I had, and he was available at hours he probably didn't need to be. Possibly one of the best aspects about working with Craig is that he was always happy to answer questions. I am writing this review a year after having settled, and he is always responsive and helpful when I have questions as a somewhat knowledgeable, but still first time, home buyer. I would highly recommend working with Craig for anyone who is unfamiliar with what it takes to be a buyer. Thank you so much!

I went through four other realtors before finding Rafael and he blew them out of the water with his service, knowledge and experience. I found him searching for agents on google and after speaking with him, I knew he was the right fit for my home sale. He's equal parts analytical and personable which makes him an invaluable combination for this market. Within hours he assessed my property, gave me market analytics, recommendations on updates and a list of tradespeople that offered quality work for a great price. He really made the process easy and headache free. 10/10!

Thank you, Franky and Team!…read more If you are looking for a house in the DMV area, Franky is the perfect agent! HE IS THE PERSON WHO HELP US TO FIND THE HOUSE JUST WITHIN THE 2nd OFFER in NICE AREA! My husband and I met Franky at one of the open houses in Washington DC. At that time, we didn't have any idea about the home-purchasing process. Even Though we searched online, we still got lost since we didn't know what the first step was and what our priority was. Franky helped us to understand the overall process, and encouraged us to think about our future life to set the goal of home-purchasing. Even Though we were not his clients at the moment, he gave us a 1-hour presentation of the whole process with the pamphlet. When we decided to go with Franky, he tried his best for us to find our FIRST HOME with some of our considerations. Since both of us work full-time, he made house-tour appointments or meetings (regarding making offers) after work hours. After our offer was accepted, Franky and his team gave sufficient advice regarding everything, such as locking the mortgage, depositing, final walk through, and the settlement! It took only 6 weeks to move into the new home since we started to look at the house to buy. As you can see my name, I am a foreigner and the whole process seemed overwhelming for me. However, Franky helped my husband and I to relieve the stress by communicating with the selling agent and title company. (Oh, I heard that he speaks English as well as Spanish). If my friend who came from foreign country asks me to recommend any agent, I will recommend FRANKY and his team! I am writing this review in my new, cozy room, where I dreamed about since I immigrated here. I can convince that if you work with Franky, you will never regret.

We have had now two projects completed by SGS Builders, and the work completed by Steve Sanders,…read moreEnrique, and crew was nothing less than outstanding. Several years ago we hired Steve to remove a load bearing wall to create a large open family room. Steve completed the project in record time and it looked perfect. In Mid-2018, we decided to add 1,000+ Sq Ft to our home to create a new Kitchen, living room and dinette space all in an open concept. What I had in my head was placed into a design by Steve and built exacted as we dreamed. It has now been nine months since the project was completed and we couldn't be happier with the finished project and Steve's work. The space looks great and we have had no problems with the workmanship. Everyone who has seen our new space has the same reaction, Wow, who did this work? There were so many complexities to this project which included the removing of a fireplace, raising a portion of the house that had settled, splitting the HVAC system to install an upstairs and downstairs unit, new plumbing, fixtures, adding a new section right next to an existing pool, the list goes on and on. Steve thoroughly planned each and every phase of construction in a timely and professional manner. To add to Steve's burden, my wife and I remained in the house throughout the 120 - 160 day construction period. We made a very large investment in our home and Steve was the only one we trusted to complete such a large project. Steve has outstanding project management skills as well as his vast experience in construction will keep any project on track. Steve and his crew were onsite 1 June through Mid-September and we had zero problems with the construction or crew. The subcontractors Steve's works with he has known for years and they are very good. We have found Steve's pricing to be fair, competitive, and honest. I would not hesitate to hire SGS Builders, Steve and Enrique, again. They are outstanding to work with and we couldn't be happier with our two projects completed by Steve.

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.

DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY. I originally signed and hired Divine Developments LLC October 3, 2023 and…read morepaid $9,912.87 and signed a contract on January 18, 2024, in good faith. They promised to handle my insurance-covered storm repairs, including permits, supplements, and full coordination with my insurer. I was told not to contact my insurance company -- they'd "handle everything." They never pulled permits. Never did any work. Never refunded me. I asked them to start the work (beginning a few weeks after signing as I had significant damage to my home) or return my money over a dozen times between April and November 2024. I gave them every chance. Instead, they made excuses and then claimed I owed a 20% cancellation fee based on a document (their inflated ECR) they created after the fact, one I never saw nor agreed to at signing. The contract also states: "Your out-of-pocket expenses will not exceed your deductible, and you will be responsible for any non-insurance related costs." I did not request non-covered work. I did not authorize additional services. The contract also states "This agreement relies on approval from your insurance company. It does not bind you or Divine Developments LLC until your insurance company approves and Divine Developments accepts it." John Murphy aka Rich Kim told me "If you want the roof done without addressing the siding and chimney then you have to sign a waiver to address those things or you must get that situated before us moving forward" he claimed they couldn't handle a roof replacement without doing my siding. In past insurance claims, supplements were submitted during construction, not prior. Divine Development's own contract acknowledges that the agreement is contingent upon insurance approval, but they never initiated any work even after partial approval was received. Divine Development's failure to start work cannot be blamed on my insurer. Their misrepresentation of the insurance process was used as an excuse to delay performance while retaining nearly $10,000 of my funds. Throughout our correspondence, Mr. Murphy/Kim insisted that work could not begin until all supplements were approved by State Farm. This is factually and procedurally false. In reality: Contractors regularly begin work based on the initial approved scope; Supplements are routinely submitted during construction as new conditions arise; Their reliance on this excuse to justify months of inaction and deflect from nonperformance was misleading and manipulative. The person I dealt with called himself John Murphy, but I later confirmed through Erie Insurance, legal filings, and his own social media video that he's really Richard Han Kim. He used multiple names, including "Rich Kim" on video, while signing contracts and threatening people as "John Murphy." It was all a front. When I left a factual review to warn others, he threatened me with legal action. That was October 17, 2024. He threatened me again on April 17, 2025. This man took my money, never showed up, and then tried to intimidate me into silence. To this day, they've never done a single bit of work. They never pulled a permit. They never did what they promised and they never gave my money back. I've since found they are named in a $77,000 court judgment in New York for unpaid loans. They're also listed on the D.C. revocation list and used a Regus virtual office to get licensed in Connecticut. And they falsely claimed BBB accreditation in their contract. I've filed complaints with the AG, FTC, DCP (Case #2025-380), and BBB (a second after uncovering more deceit and lies). They also had their license revoked from DLCP. They scammed me, lied to me, ghosted me, and threatened me for speaking out. You've been warned. They are everything wrong with this industry.
