When we asked, for example, why certain items were included on the estimate that we did not want, we were treated as though we were being "cheap" in not wanting to pay for things we hadn't requested and/or that we had asked to remove from the design. Moreover, the execution was only so-so. To help keep the project on schedule, my husband had to help with a lot of the demo and clean-up work. And they tried to get us to sign off before the project was complete, treating me like a pain for holding them to the contract.

Years later and we are still constantly dealing with reminders of why we regret working with RESSA…read more Don't let that nice photo of our modern house they posted fool you. We would not hire or recommend RESSA. We completely knocked down our old home to build a modern two-story house. We hired RESSA because they quoted us at the lowest price, but in the long run we ended up paying for it with more money, time and stress. We have held off posting about RessaBuilt but no other family should have to go through our experience! TIMELINE: The project took over a year longer than initially projected by RESSA. Keep in mind they had to return afterwards to fix multiple problems that were never resolved, including multiple ROOF LEAKS. (I recently had to call a roofer to come fix yet ANOTHER roof leak (on 10/25/2022). PERMITS We had to personally deal with WSSC to get the proper permits bc RESSA was unable to resolve the issues themselves. We had to personally deal with the county to make sure inspections were promptly scheduled. After months of not being able to secure certain required permits from the county, we took it upon ourselves to personally go to the permitting office, get the answers needed, complete the paperwork required, and secure the permits for RESSA. It was extremely frustrating, time consuming and something we as the client should not have had to do. Even permitting office employees were surprised at our level of involvement and openly expressed their skepticism as to whether the RESSA team had ever done this before. LACK OF MANAGEMENT They have a project management system but were unable to keep track of all project changes, which caused a lot of confusion, delays and unexpected expenses. RESSA was unable to keep track of tasks, timeline or the budget. We always had to go digging for emails and text messages because they were not keeping track of items properly. Many items they marked as completed were not in fact completed upon inspection. During the last month we had to physically be onsite to ensure subcontractors were showing up and tasks were being completed on time, because we had lost complete trust in RESSA's ability to manage the project. The Project Manager was unqualified. During our weekly walk throughs, he'd take notes on a piece of cardboard. LACK OF EXPERIENCE WITH MODERN ARCHITECTURE It was quickly apparent that their crew had no experience building modern homes, which resulted in tasks having to be redone numerous times and some were never able to be done at a high quality level. We have also openly questioned whether the RESSA team had ever done ground up construction before. MANY BUDGET ISSUES Near the end of the project, we were blindsided by a list of items totaling around $50,000.00 that RESSA claimed we owed. This occurred after we had to personally come out of pocket almost $20,000.00 for additional plumbing that was not budgeted for because RESSA had not warned us that the number of bathrooms in the new house would require excavating out to the street for expanded plumbing tubes, per county requirements. We also had to personally come out of pocket over $20,000.00 for a sprinkler system in the state of Maryland. Today (March 15, 2023), yet again, we have two (2) more ceiling leaks! It's never ending.

We hired Ressa to build an addition for our house in Washington. I very much regret the decision…read more The quality of the workmanship is fair to poor and the project management was almost non-existent. Don't let them fool you about BuilderTrend-- it's a project management software and is only useful insofar as the project manager is competent and organized. Our project manager was both overloaded and undertrained, and Joe was onsite only twice during the whole project. The subcontractors range in quality, but you can be sure that Ressa is going with the cheapest option every time. This is especially galling because of the enormous overhead I know that Ressa is pulling (I know this because several bills were erroneously sent to me). We've been in our renovated home for over a year now, and I find new ways to be disappointed by Ressa every day. Every surface that isn't square, poorly painted wall, or cheap and poorly installed equipment makes me sad and will continue to do so until and unless I hire a professional to repair. In retrospect, I should have taken the lack of good reviews as a sign. Don't make the same error-- make sure to do your homework and hire a general contractor with solid reviews. This company should not be in business.
