If I could give 0 stars I would. Lofft Construction was recommended to us by some neighborhood…read morefriends. Alex came to our house and gave us an estimate to repair our front steps and told us they would last a very long time. A few days later, his workers showed up, unannounced, asking what they needed to do. I told them I have no idea, and my husband is not home, and to coordinate a time with him. A few days later (on a Sunday), they showed up unannounced again! My husband was out again! They asked me to pick a paint color and I asked if that is included in the price we were quoted and they said they didn't know. As I was trying to figure that out, it came out that they don't think repairing the stairs is a good idea and they can't even guarantee they won't break again for even 3 days. I asked if it would be a lot more expensive to redo the whole thing and they said it would be exponentially more expensive. I told them we'll talk to Alex and get back to them. 30 minutes later, Alex calls my husband screaming at him! He told him that we shouldn't ask his contractors about prices and that he doesn't work that way and that we should find someone else to work with and hung up the phone on my husband! He was literally screaming at my husband on the phone. And then hung up on him. There are so many issues with our experience starting with the fact that the workers kept showing up without prior notice and asking a lot of questions as if they didn't know what they were supposed to be doing. And then of course the fact that he was trying to scam us into doing something that he knew might not even last the week. And then finally, calling my husband and screaming at him and hanging up on him because his workers were asking us a lot of questions?! It's just been an atrocious experience. I recommend avoiding him at all costs. UPDATE: Alex is now threatening my husband over text messages because of our review. We are just stating facts. He said we are inappropriate to contact him on a Sunday when it was his contractors who showed up at our doorstep, unannounced, on a Sunday, and we were just calling to clear things up with him because they had no idea what they were supposed to do and were asking me a lot of questions. He also accused us of trying to strike a deal with his subcontractors, something that didn't cross our minds for one second. We were just trying to figure out if the paint his contractors were making me choose was included in the estimate he provided us.

Alex was helpful and responsive in coming to my home, talking me through the process and promptly providing a quote. Lofft was not the cheapest estimate I received but based on my meeting with Alex and previous reviews, I decided to hire them for my work. Very happy with my decision. The project began and ended exactly on schedule. Eric and Freddie were easy to work with, dependable, did a fantastic job and kept the worksite clean during the project. I'm going to redo my master bath and will look to Lofft to do the project. I'd give them six stars if the system allowed.

No high pressure sales tactics He quoted a fair price and was able to start quickly. His crew was prompt and efficient (and very clean) I did a sweep after they left and didn't find a single nail (not saying this will always happen but it was nice). All in all, I give Hammertime Construction a highly recommend. I have already had him quote out our next project.

After coming out to put eyes on the issue, I received a reasonable estimate and a window for completion.

Going forward, they'll be my first call for home improvement needs. They should be yours, too!

I have used Dave Merrill and his company for 20 years on a large, complicated addition that required significant engineering work and several smaller projects too. He, his project leaders, and crew have always exceeded expectations for quality of work, meeting deadlines, dealing with surprises effectively, and minimizing impact on the home and residents. He is not always the low bid, but you can always b confident that things will be done correctly, on-time, within budget, and in a clean and safe manner.

But then I spoke to Valerie and she is just so warm and friendly that I immediately got the best vibes. Wes and his partner then came out to do a free consultation to evaluate a few projects I needed done and were nice enough to give me different quotes for each. As someone who has to do proposals for their job, I can appreciate how tedious this step is and so I really appreciate that small gesture! The quotes were fair and reasonable and as soon as I signed off, the work was scheduled instantly. One thing that really stuck out to me, aside from the frequent updates from my girl, Valerie was when Wes called me to ask about HOA regulations for the railing I had replaced, as he noticed that all of the houses in my neighborhood (because he drove around to look on his own accord!) hafnd a different railing that I ordered. He wanted to bring it to my attention so I did not end up paying a ton of money for work that my HOA could potentially make me redo. I just think that is a the kind of service that builds trust. The work they did was fantastic. Any concern I had was quickly addressed and taken care of. I honestly could not have asked for anything more and they will definitely be my very first call for any and all future home projects!

It was definitely a stressful situation, but Lee was very helpful and responsive to my questions and requests. Although Lee did not perform the job himself, Ivan and his team came out to repair the drywall and replace the carpet. Ivan was really great - he was courteous and efficient throughout the whole project, which took about 1.5 days to complete. Some highlights were: 1) The crew was able to start working almost immediately after I called Master's Construction. 2) Ivan worked very hard to find the closest match to my existing carpet. It sounded like he was checking out quite a few places until he found someone all the way in Richmond that had our carpet! (FYI, I live in Falls Church.) 3) Ivan ended up re-painting all the walls of my bedroom to ensure that the paint color was consistent throughout. Per my request, he also left behind the remaining bucket of paint so that I can use it again in the future. Thank you for all your help, Ivan and everyone at Master's Construction!

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.

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!
