Archibuild LC

Archibuild has done an excellent job on 2 major renovation projects for us. The first was in 2012 when we first moved from California into an old 1960's house in McLean. We pretty much gutted 3/4 of the house at that time and created 5 1/2 bathrooms (2 brand new), 5 bedrooms (lots of reconfiguration of floor plan), and a complete basement re-do. The most recent project was just recently completed in 2019 in which we worked on the remainder of the house, including foyer, kitchen and sunroom (tear down and rebuilt). Major renovations are never easy, but Archibuild made it as painless as possible, with realistic cost estimates and a reasonable schedule. All their guys are polite, punctual, responsive and they never leave the work site without a thorough clean up & vacuum. Even when snags happen despite careful planning, we work through the issues and Archibuild has always come through for us. They offer plenty of advice and options to proceed with as little interruption as possible and the best part of all is that they stick to their schedule through completion. The projects always turn out to be as beautiful as I imagined and my guests notice the care and workmanship that went into every inch of the renovated spaces. Even our neighbors have remarked on their professionalism and cleanliness.

The latest project was to remove the wood paneling and add a staircase railing; we were pleased with the results. The project was finished within a few weeks including additional work to add insulation which was not behind the paneled walls. We would have stayed on budget but decided to replace worn carpeting with ceramic tiles.

We have used Archibuild for several projects at our house: kitchen, four bathrooms, and resurfacing the cement patio and steps with stone. The work product is always excellent, the owners, subcontractors, and employees are always professional, and any discrepancies are resolved promptly. The employees and subs show up when they say they will and work diligently.

As an Architect ( Lawrence Mason Architects ), it's imperative to find "partners" who are willing to go all in on a project to insure its success. ArchiBuild has been a reliable partner for us for a long, long time. Their commitment, attention to detail, and work ethic establishes a scenario in which every project, regardless of size, is bound to succeed. Working with them has always been easy, pleasant, and uncomplicated. There is a long list of clients for whom we have created designs that will testify as to how exceptional ArchiBuild's service and work is. A stellar company with stellar personnel.

Archibuild was a life saver. 85% of our house was damaged due to the main feed line on the master toilet breaking while we were out of town. We were out of our home for 7 months. Once construction finally began Archibuild helps us by working with our insurance company, gave us great ideas on how to replace stair railing, bathroom tiles, lighting etc. Our repair/renovation was extensive. This companies work is beautiful and top quality. I would highly recommend them.

I hired Archibuild for a project on my house that included adding a very large screened porch to the back of the house. This was a complicated project because the pitch of the roof was being changed, skylights were involved, and doors were going in to a brick wall. They did not disappoint. If there were any surprises on the job, I knew nothing about them. They showed up on time, stayed within budget, and never left a mess at the end of the day. The work they did was nothing short of astounding. Anyone who walks out on that porch is awestruck and cannot believe it wasn’t always there. I am thrilled with the work and just feel joy any time I use the porch, which I can do year round. That kind of joy is was worth every single dime.

Archibuild remodeled our master bath a couple of years ago and just remodeled our kitchen. Both were very extensive redos, involving all new floor plans, an addition, building a patio, enlarging windows, etc. The resulting spaces are spectacular. They not only look beautiful, but they function much better. We have so much more light, storage and counter space. From design to execution, Archibuild was very good to work with. They listen to your wishes and craft them into a reality that is better than you hoped. Our only regret is not doing it sooner.
