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."

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!

I bought a tear down property in May of 2019 with Zimmermann Homes which was completed in July of…read more2020. I can't say enough good things about Rob and his team. I was not living in the DMV area when we started the project so they did a great job of communicating remotely during the design process. His architect, Darren and interior design team, Christina Simon, took samples of things we liked and found ways to integrate them into the house. The property has so many cool features from finishes, to a basement apartment, gym, and a roof deck. It's a 4,400 sq foot house but feels like it's 6k. Rob, Jim, and team are very particular about how things are done. If something doesn't look right, they are going to have it corrected properly and they did. From building for energy efficient, print labeling everything ( low voltage, electrical, was, gas), to managing the draw schedule, they really focus on the little things during what is a very stressful experience. After moving in, they ensured punch list items were attended to. Unfortunately, we had to relocate for work after a year but the focus on details and quality allowed us to get top dollar for our property. Having now bought another newly built home only further highlights the unique focus on service and quality building of Zimmermann homes. Wish I could have had him build my house out west.

It's the second house I have built with Rob and his team in the last 4 years and this experience was even better than my first one in 2018. Zimmermann Homes continues to improve its operations continuously, whereby the customer remains first and foremost. Building together over the past 12-18 months had several challenges, primarily supply chain issues, most of which were entirely out of our control. However, Rob and his team worked even harder to source substitutes that were just as good or as timely as the initial selections we made for the design of the house. As someone who visits dozens of newly constructed homes annually, I am very aware of the quality and pricing of the competition facing Zimmermann Homes, so when I say that you can't beat the "bang for the buck", I'm confident that it's true. The quality of the architectural structure, design, construction, and home efficiency are truly unmatched at the price point offered by Zimmermann Homes. More than anything, Rob and his team are really good to work with. It's expected that things will go awry at some point in building a custom home, whether it's a schedule delay, design issue, permit snag, or selection that is out of stock. Recognizing this, Zimmermann Homes is creative dealing with such issues and they do whatever is necessary to minimize disruption and stress for the home-owner. Rob has built an incredible business for home construction in the Northern VA area and I can't think of a better company to work with when building a home. He has put together a team of experts that seamlessly work together so that issues are resolved quickly and most of the time it is done behind the scenes, making the customer's experience much better. I would be remiss if I didn't give shout-outs to the members of Rob's team. Darren is amazing at helping you design a home that works for your individual needs, while being very aesthetically pleasing to the eye, both inside and out. Christina and her team are the best in the business when it comes to the color schemes and styles, making your budget go as far as possible with the selections for appliances, tile, cabinets, countertops, and lighting. Finally, Jim J. is a savant when it comes to managing the overall project and making sure that the customer gets exactly what he/she wants, at the highest level of quality throughout. His attention to detail will always amaze me and any other customer he has ever had. I couldn't be happier with the final product. Friends, family, and neighbors that visit are amazed at how well it came out, especially during a worldwide pandemic. I could not endorse Zimmermann Homes more highly. They are the best at what they do. When I build my next house, there is no doubt that I will ask Rob and his team to work with me again! - The Scardino Family (again), Arlington, VA

It will be almost five years since I have been in the house they built for me and absolutely nothing has broken! I am an OCD cleaner and the house looks as good as the day I moved in. I see, almost daily, the good quality of materials used and sound workmanship. No fading of paint, no chipped tiles or bathtubs, nothing coming apart. I was highly communicative during the build process and they reciprocated. I look at my neighbors going through renovation nightmares with smaller jobs and I thank my lucky stars that I picked Classic Homes.

Keep in mind we closed on the house almost 5 months ago which means we don't owe them a dime. Today marks the day that they completed the 30-item punch list - we had an item that was back ordered with the appliance supplier and it was just successfully installed. I am so impressed with Classic's follow-through and working through all of the remaining items, including items where an original subcontractor disappeared and they had to pay someone else to come out and finish the item. We love our house and would absolutely build with them again.

I know they don't have a lot of online presence, but my best friend referred me to them after getting her kitchen remodeled, and they are freaking AWESOME. They are fair priced, on-time, and don't cut corners. Also they genuinely care about making their customers' visions come true. My husband and I recently purchased a home and wanted to modernize our kitchen but didn't have the budget to do a full-on kitchen renovation. We got (or tried to get) a couple of quotes from "reputable" companies in the area. One never showed, another promised us a quote and never got around to it, a third gave us a startling low quote after requesting pictures via text but their attitude & the quote did not sit right with us at all. And lastly, this duo team from Eruda Design & Build - I kid you not - came by THREE times, in person, to brainstorm with us different design ideas & to ensure the measurements were correct. Even from the get-go they were above and beyond others, but even during the renovation process, they did not disappoint. For example, I had requested my fridge to be moved to a different wall, and while they were reconfiguring all the plumbing, they found this rusting pipe that was slowly leaking water which was covered by some panels in the HVAC that even our home inspector didn't find. They let us know immediately (even though it was beyond the scope of the project) because they worried about the long-term effects of water damage that could have on our home and replaced the pipe for us. They met us at their warehouse to brainstorm & choose the quartz countertop with us, and then even met us at the tile shop to choose a backsplash together. For my husband and I who sort of had an idea of what we wanted but wasn't sure if they were the right "choices" - this kind of personal level of service was sooo helpful. In addition, they also are so handy! Did our light fixtures and even mounted a TV for us. To top it all off, they gave us a pull-out cabinet as a home welcoming gift. And as you can see from the pictures, they did an AMAZING job. It looks so much more chic and my husband and I are so grateful to Mr. Sungho and his team!

We had an outstanding experience working with DFB Contracting on our home renovation in McLean…read more From start to finish, their team demonstrated exceptional professionalism and a genuine commitment to getting every detail right. What impressed me most was their patience in truly understanding my needs and vision. They took the time to listen, offered thoughtful recommendations, and made sure I felt confident every step of the way. That level of care is rare and made a big difference in the overall experience. Equally remarkable was the speed and efficiency of the renovation. The work was completed faster than expected without ever compromising on quality. The end result exceeded our expectations, and the entire process felt smooth and well-managed. I highly recommend DFB Contracting to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and client-focused team.

My family and I commenced this process as soon as the company opened its doors. Regrettably, due to…read morea lack of communication between the management and the general public, it took us over a year to even begin. From them having a floor plan advertised that we later learned that they couldn't provide to us. To us having a contact on a lot to then learn that the home style we wanted we couldn't get on that lot because they had lots pre-permitted. They had to cancel our contract. We wanted to change the floor plan based on the options we could build. Then we were told we had to wait for one specific lot, exactly where the trailer sat. Despite all of that, we believed in what they were selling and waited. Now I regret it. The only issues I do not hold them responsible for are the weather conditions and the timing of the installation of utilities for the community. We engaged with four sales representatives, and I can confidently say that I have had positive experiences with each of them. However, my primary concerns arose during the completion of my home. While the company offers a warranty, I find it perplexing that I am compelled to submit multiple warranty claims for a newly constructed home. Before even reaching the one-month mark, we encountered problems. The siding on our home is consistently coming off, not completely, but it is lifting. The company has had to "repair" it three times within six months. I can already see where it is lifting again. Additionally, the siding is wavy. I was informed that this is due to the sun and the color of the siding. I was advised to wait, but despite taking all the necessary steps, nothing has been addressed. Furthermore, there is another home with the same color siding and orientation to the sun, but it does not exhibit the same wavy siding characteristics. The flooring in our home is also lifting, and I was told that this is within the company's allowance. However, why should any flooring be lifting? In certain areas, it produces a "tap" sound because the flooring is not flush with the subfloor. This is unacceptable. We paid an additional amount for oak stairs, and now we have "slats". The space has grown to the point where I can fit a credit card between the gaps. We have experienced electrical issues. I was informed that it is possible that we, as the homeowner, may be the cause. When I attempted to use a vacuum cleaner, it tripped the power. Upon submitting a claim, I was informed that a "one-time courtesy" could be extended, but it would need to be waited two weeks for the "soonest" appointment. Therefore, I was required to wait two weeks without power in two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a hallway. I contacted Diana at the sales office, and she was able to advocate on my behalf, resulting in the appointment being moved up by another week. Upon the electrician's arrival, he identified the hazard. He tightened the loose wires and replaced a faulty arc. However, was this the consumer's fault, as the warranty office tried to previously elude? We had other options of builders, but we chose Stanley Martin, and I am disappointed that we did so. Regardless of the costs of the home, every homeowner deserves the quality that they advertise. I am highly dissatisfied, and when we decide to move on, I will know which builder to avoid.

I am the buyer's agent for a client purchasing a home in Bryan's Road, Maryland, from Stanley…read moreMartin Homes. Assistant Sales Manager Malik Patterson and Sales Manager Russ Tickle repeatedly represented that the home would be priced at $389,990 with a 9% credit incentive. The price was even advertised online at $389,990. Todd Pede, their preferred lender, also confirmed the incentives. Based on these representations, my client signed a contract, submitted financial documents, allowed her credit to be pulled, and paid a deposit, which has not been refunded. The promised price and credit were not honored, negatively affecting my client's credit and causing financial and emotional stress. We feel like the incentives were represented with no intention of being honored, and that my client was encouraged to make a financial and emotional commitment before the terms were changed. I wonder how many other buyers have experienced similar issues. Because of this experience, I will never bring another client to Stanley Martin Homes.

Bryant, our Craig representative, Lindsay in the design center and Ross, our Project Manager always greeted us with a smile and a "yes-we're-happy-to-do-that-for-you" attitude. They exceeded every expectation and truly went above and beyond. We were amazed not only at Craig's openness to customizations but their eagerness to suggest options for us while another builder got squirmy when I only asked about moving the pantry door. The quality of their materials and workmanship is evident in the absolutely beautiful finished product. The day of our final walk through, the president of the company himself was completing a final walk through of our home just as we arrived, as I've learned he does with every home they build. Also of note: every representative we worked with so obviously truly enjoyed their job and spoke fondly of their boss. That tells you a lot about a company. I can't recommend them highly enough.
