He has done several projects for us, including a bathroom remodel, an entry door installation with tile and trim work, and converting an old garage to a finished bedroom. All projects have turned out fantastic and on the timeline that was set forth from the start. I would highly recommend Malte Build for any remodeling needs, he in one of the best out there.

Bathroom remodel Falls Church / Arlington…read more My friend recommended Malte Build. Malte had completed a major remodel of their 1920's farm house and it looked great. I obtained multiple estimates and Malte's was in line with the middle of the very large range. Malte was great to work with and I love my new bathroom! He was extremely helpful in referring me to Robert at The Tile Shop in Springfield. The shop has a large number of display bathrooms, so you can get many good ideas. Robert was fantastic in providing design advice and the end result is very much due to his tactful recommendations (on several occasions, he reminded me that due to the small space, I wanted to avoid having too much going on). Malte also guided me throughout the design process, making sure that my design ideas were functional as well. Malte started and completed the remodel in the agreed upon time frame for the agreed upon price. He was always willing to explain the process and answer my questions (I was an involved and some might say demanding client.) At the completion of the project, he asked me if I was happy with everything. I have to admit that of all the numerous contractors who have worked in my house, Malte is the first to actually ask this and make sure that I was pleased with everything before he left. The bathroom remodel went much smoother than I expected, I am certain this is due to the high professional standards of Malte. I highly recommend Malte Build.

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.

I contacted Kevin Yarbough (Owner of RamCom LLC) after a neighbor recommended him. I had already had 3 other contractors out and received quotes ranging from $6,000-$30,000. I choose to go with Kevin because his communication was superb. We began discussions on 07/03/2012 and spent the next 7 weeks conversing via email and by phone to iron out the details. He spent a great deal of time going over the layout and design of the bathroom. I could not decide how large to make the shower and where to put the claw foot tub I wanted. He came over and drew it out on the sub-floor to help me visualize my bathroom. They began work 08/27/2012 after I had ordered all of the necessary fixtures. What I absolutely loved about working with Kevin was his attention to detail and ability to aid me in design decisions. When I had concerns he would discuss the different options with me and how much they would affect the total cost of the project. They worked diligently until the project was completed 09/21/2012. The remodel took a little longer than expected due to the shower plumbing that was changed. We had them change the single shower head to 4 body jets, a rain shower head out of the ceiling and a hand held shower head. We also had two niches put in and a bench seat. The plumbing for our tub had to be moved as well to the new location of our claw foot tub. They installed a new double vanity, faucets, and fixtures. We added three small dimmable lights and they replaced the existing light fixtures as well as the electrical outlets. They made a full wall in the bathroom into a half wall, did all of the drywall/concrete board and painted the bathroom. We also had a rather detailed tile job on the floor and walls of the bathroom. Kevin and Joe showed up on time, respected my home and always cleaned up before they left. I have worked with many contractors over the years and Kevin is by far the best. I particularly liked the fact that I paid them for labor only and was able to order my own fixtures. Whenever I am in need of any remodeling in the future Kevin will be my first and last call.

I kid you not we reached out to around 20 contractors in the area but Chris' responsiveness during our project scoping/estimate period couldn't be matched. He was able to work within our budget and brought some awesome ideas that we hadn't considered or thought weren't possible (example: our new wet bar). Throughout the entire process Chris was only a phone call, txt, or email away. He was on-sight each day to give the team instructions and review the work that was happening that day. He also made sure to include myself and my husband in these morning reviews to ensure it was in line with the vision we'd laid out. I'm absolutely blown away by the results - I actually cannot believe this is our basement! It turned out amazing! We already have another job lined up with Chris to do some work on the exterior of the house. I would highly recommend Chris and Hanes On Homes for your renovation needs!

Instead our project was completed ahead of schedule, just under budget, and the quality of the work was excellent. And that includes an expanded project scope that came up when we discovered large issues with a neighboring property. Fairmont was incredibly flexible and easy to work with. They were always willing to listen to our ideas and make changes as needed. They were also very responsive to my questions and concerns. Fairmont's foreman or a partner subcontractor was on-site on average more than five days a week for the entire many-month project. This allowed them to keep a close eye on the work and make sure that everything was done to the highest standards, and if not the first time, they made sure it was redone. Unlike several neighboring projects, we had no stop work orders, no neighbor complaints (complements actually), and all our inspections were successful. I would highly recommend Fairmont to anyone looking for a home builder or doing a major urban renovation. They are professional, reliable, and they do great work.

It is just about a year since Fairmont completed my whole house renovation. This home, with the…read moreexception of new appliance now and then, was in original 1911 condition when I called Fairmont. This could make a project easier - assume everything has to go. However, I am an old house lover (now a three-time renovator) and keeping or reinventing old house detail was important. Carlos manages construction, the tradesmen, the sub-contractors, and the overall quality of the workmanship on the job. He is an experienced builder, taking pride in bringing ideas to life but careful to offer full disclosure on the pros, cons and risks of each option. Jose manages the business side of the project - budgeting and billing, tracking and documenting changes, purchase of materials, recommending vendors for kitchen design, tiles, stone, flooring etc. Most important was his management of communications between Fairmont and me, the homeowner. Jose took time to ask questions and listen carefully to answers. I know and appreciate how rare it is to have good communication. I also have lived the consequences of mediocre communication. Mistakes are costly. Jose follows a protocol of asking, clarifying, and following up with an email restating our discussion and inviting me to comment, add, or correct. The answers don't matter as much as the asking and listening. This worked so well there were no horror stories. To summarize: Strong management of the permitting process, of sub-contractors, deliveries, security of the property and use of appropriate safety measures. I think its important to say also that the project was managed ethically, honestly and respectfully. Everyone on the job was pleasant and upbeat. Weekly walk-thru meetings insuring the work was proceeding according to agreement. Efficient cascade of information, decisions and/or changes, from homeowner and Fairmont to the tradesmen and subcontractors. A solid team of workers - excellent workmanship, site management and daily clean-up. Also, no profanity or loudness, no littering, no complaints from neighbors, and very happily, no accidents. Lastly, Fairmont checks in with you periodically during the year following move-in. Together we created a list of little adjustments and changes that you can't anticipate until you move in. All done! The house is lovely - beautiful carpentry, millwork and all the details that make it livable for me. I feel very fortunate to have done this work with Fairmont and I would recommend them without reservation!
