We contracted Jesús (also goes by Carlos) to do a full basement renovation in our Petworth DC row…read morehome that included major plumbing repairs beneath our concrete to the main water line, a bathroom renovation, removal of carpeting and installation of flooring, and the construction of a new kitchen/wet bar, including updated plumbing and electricity. We are extremely pleased with the work that he and his team did. We designed and bought materials ourselves using Home Depot's design service, but he made many recommendations along the way and made his own trips to pick up supplies that we forgot to get. He has high integrity - when I pointed out that the tile in the bathroom that he had installed was a slightly different shade than then one we had agreed on (beige instead of brown), he unprompted, and without extra cost, had his team immediately spend an extra day ripping up the tile and replacing it. On the overall project, his team repaired and painted everything to perfection such that there were no outstanding punch list items at the end of the project! He was always more than willing to spend time communicating with us - he explained his rationale for everything he did and was patient my very novice questioning. We worked with him nearly weekly over the course of 6 months (the length was due to DC's permitting process, not his team's speed - once we got our permits the work went very quickly) and feel like we got to know him as more than just a contractor but as a friend too. I'm happy to be a reference and speak more with you about working with him and his team; he was more than willing to give me references before we started with him ourselves. If you're interested in contacting me for a reference, send him the link to this review/photos and he'll put us in touch.

Jesus was super responsive and able to come by in a matter of hours to help us with our broken back…read moregate and left it better than new! Great work, will definitely be calling him again for some more things!
