Amanda Chattin says, "Weve had the pleasure of working with ICM Consulting twice now once for a major renovation at our animal hospital about ten years ago, and most recently to repurpose old dog runs into a very nice feline only wing with its own entrance, treatment area and 2 exam rooms. Both experiences were outstanding. The work they did a decade ago still looks amazing today, and it was an easy decision to return to a team we trust.Fred and Carlos, who we also worked with years ago, made the entire process smooth and collaborative. They listened closely to our needs and helped us design the perfect feline-friendly space functional, comfortable, and beautifully executed. The ICM team works quickly without sacrificing quality, with great attention to detail every step of the way.Everyone involved in the project was friendly, professional, and respectful of our space and time. You find the best, you stick with the best. We highly recommend ICM Consulting and they will continue to be our preferred team for any future needs."See more

We are a veteran owned company. Little of our work is repetitive and as such requires principal involvement in every job. We work to solve design problems to come up with practical solutions. We also keep abreast of all of the current codes and assure that the work installed complies even if the design doesn't.See more

FAQs

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

No matter what kind of project you are tackling, your general contractor should have a good track record of completed work and satisfied customers. Search for the best general contractors in Washington, D.C., and look for positive customer reviews and project photos that are similar to your project. 

Make sure your general contractor has the proper license, insurance and registration. You can ask pros to send you this information, or you can search for it online. 

Hire a D.C. contractor after you receive cost estimates from at least three or five general contractors.

There are several great options for waterproof basement flooring. For example, epoxy floors are waterproof but are thicker and sturdier than paint. Make sure the concrete substrate has been prepared for application. 

Tile is a designer’s dream, giving you a moisture-resistant surface that’s infinitely customizable. Rubber sheets or tiles are also good waterproof options, particularly for playrooms, workout areas or laundry rooms. 

Vinyl tiles and planks imitate wood or other materials very convincingly, provide moisture resistance and last a long time. And sheet vinyl is affordable and a great waterproofing solution for those in need of quick fixes.

Roger completed the first part of my basement remodel, which was relatively small, but important. He repaired a hole in the basement exterior wall that was allowing moisture to get in and as a result a small mole patch had formed.

Roger patched the hole (inside and outside), cleaned up the mole and replaced the drywall inside the house. So far, I am happy with the job. Of course, this is the kind of thing that is proven to be effective over a period of time. However, Roger gives a one year guarantee and that increases my comfort level.

Roger has been very easy to work with and he is good at explaining his approach to resolving problems.

I will sign an additional contract with Roger to continue with the next phase of my basement remodel within a week.

I hired Cesar to build a laundry unit/closet in my house and build a kitchen in my basement. He did a great job and was helpful in thinking through designs/trouble shooting. Would definitely hire again!

Homequest did a great job of gutting and renovating our basement in DC. They took our suggestions of what we wanted and ran with it. The Homequest Team was very professional, on-time and always available to answer questions. They completed the entire project on schedule and within budget. Shortly after the project was completed, we encountered a small issue within our bathroom, Homequest arrived within 48 hours and fixed the issue. Our basement is now a beautiful AirBnB in the District. We would highly recommend Homequest for any home renovation projects that you may have. The Curry's.

Daniel and company came to my grandparents home in Washington, D.C. to refill the filtering in their basement. They were very prompt, professional and friendly. They did a wonderful job. They will be coming back to do other home improvements in a few weeks!

Thank you!

Nick is great. I needed a fairly large basement project done in 4 weeks, Nick got it done in 3. Most everyone else I had bid was going to take at least 6. Nick was always incredibly responsive, on-time, and friendly. Everything really went without a hitch. When there was one small issue I noticed (because I am in the industry and overly picky), Nick did not hesitate to rip it out and redo it. A true professional, you won't be disappointed if you go with these guys.

Tony was very prompt both for the site visit to provide a proposal and to perform the work. The job was to clean out our front stoop outside the front door. We live in a basement of a rowhouse and needed a wooden landing removed, the concrete slab and walls to be cleaned, and the drain to be snaked and tested. I came home and the front entryway was put back as if no one was there and the whole area was very clean. All of the wooden planks from the landing and accumulated dirt and debris were removed with out a trace. I would hire them again.

Overall a good experience. Needed basement redone (new floors, insulation, drywall, paint, and improved structure stability) after waterproofing that was done a few years prior and the work was completed in less than 2 weeks and done very well. Jorge is very responsive and takes the time to explain and was very open to rework or redo any of my minor issues. I had questions about everything and he was always patient and thorough. He is not only the leader but also has the skillset and was able to take care of some aesthetic issues I was anal about. Don't be upset or not happy about anything. Always speak up. They are there to do a good job and go above and beyond to ensure the customer is happy.

Only challenges were little communication with people who come and do the work. I like to understand what is being completed during the day and sometimes they were confused about what was to be included in the work. (which seems to be the case when different teams work on different things). Also they just left without saying anything at the end of the day. This didn't allow me to ask questions about the work and to determine what was happening next.

Ultimately Jorge as the project leads knows all so was able to keep me abreast of plans once I asked. Excellent job! I will be utilizing them for future reno projects!

We hired DB General Construction for our basement renovation starting in July 2019. Douglas is a nice guy and his work is pretty good quality however he is horrible at planning the work and he doesn't keep his words!!

He promised us verbally and in the contract that the work would be done in 4 to 5 weeks. He also promised us verbally that he wouldn't be splitting his time between 2 job sites until he was one with our project.

However, the renovation ended up taking 12 weeks and we only made a couple of change orders that may have added 1 week max to the time compared to the original estimate. He claimed that the inspector also delayed him by 1 week. At the end, that would put him at 5 weeks behind, double the estimate.
The real reason is that he just wasn't showing up to the site to do the work. For several weeks, he would show up a few hours every other day. He had countless excuses or would just not answer our calls at times.
Or he would say he was going to work at a certain time and day and just not show up.

When we were finally able to talk to him face to face about his delay, he got extremely defensive and acted offended that we were even asking for accountability. He did admit that he had another project going on but he was completely unapologetic about it even he promised us he would not.

At that point, he did commit again to complete the job ASAP and started showing up every day. He estimated the work to be done in 1 week but unfortunately, it still took him 3 weeks. This again demonstrates his inability to estimate and plan the work properly.

Overall, Douglas is a skilled contractor but he is not a good GC!

Apex General Contracting did a fantastic job on a major renovation project for our row house in DC! We had never done a renovation project of any kind, and this was the first time we had worked with a contractor. We highly recommend Carlos and his team for jobs big and small.

Carlos and the team at Apex were very responsive. We would text or call him with a lot of questions, and he was always available and would quickly respond.

They stayed on budget. We had a very tight budget, and Carlos stuck to it, even when minor complications required us to make various changes from our plan.

Carlos was very collaborative and solution-oriented whenever little wrinkles arose. He would consult us about details big and small, and made sure we were happy with all the work being done. If we changed our mind about something or were not happy with how something turned out, Carlos would fix it to make sure we were happy. Plus, the guys did a great job of cleaning up each day.

Finally, the quality of the work was beyond our expectations. Carlos’s carpenters are very talented and they helped us recreate and restore original vintage aspects of our 100-year-old house. His team also helped us create chic bathrooms and a modern kitchen. We are thrilled with how everything turned out, and we would definitely hire Apex for another job in the future.

What we needed
• Gut remodel kitchen;
• Finish an unfinished basement;
• Gut remodel two bathrooms;
• Refinish original hardwood floors;
• Install vintage marble fireplace;
• Rebuild original staircase;
• Install a two-zone HVAC system;
• Replace all plumbing and drains in the house;
• Upgrade electrical panel and most wiring and circuits;
• Replace front door;
• Lots of cosmetic work.

I found Eddie at IS Enterprises when my child was tested high for lead in the blood, and the test got referred to the city of DC. Like many people in the city, our house was built before 1978 and the paint contains lead. We were required by law to remediate: radiators, every variety of trim, exterior, basement. The city gave me a list of about 50 lead certified contractors and a one-month deadline.

As a working single mother with a baby, I was overwhelmed. I narrowed it down based on online reviews. And eventually I interviewed several companies. I decided to work with Eddie, because of price and how easy he was to work with. He developed a quote based on the minimum I had to do to make my house lead safe for my baby and to pass inspection. He also developed a quote that took into account some of the things that I wanted to do on my house.

The prices were reasonable given the technical work to be done to protect my baby. They were not nearly as high as many of the contractors I had found in DC who are lead certified but who subcontract that part of the work out. Eddie gave me fair prices, was clear up front about the extras I would be responsible for in the lead remediation (paying for the lead permits, specialized cleanings, inspections, etc). and was willing to itemize the work to be done so I could adapt specific decisions about what to do based on pricing. We priced out several scenarios - replacing vs remediating various lead-affected items. They did nearly all of the work in-house, with only a few parts subcontracted. They are bonded and insured. Eddie got lead remediation permits quickly.

We worked together for a year, the first six months of this driven by my own delays. We had to move out of the house for the lead remediation portion of the work. When they completed the lead remediation, I added on more work because their their initial work was high quality and fast: some bathroom updates, some attic updates, etc. There were a few delays, as we waited for products to arrive and then the team wasn't available to come back immediately when the parts had arrived. But Eddie communicated well and was flexible when I asked for changes to the schedule.

As problems arose, as is inevitable, especially when I put myself in charge of ordering some of the parts, I was impressed by Eddie's willingness to work through them quickly and constructively.

My experience was outstanding. The key component of this was the team. Eddie is patient and flexible, and he listens well. He sometimes found lower cost solutions for problems I had identified.

His team was friendly and respectful of my home. The lead worker, Willie, worked efficiently and carefully and was always friendly with my baby. The workmanship was excellent. When I noticed things I wanted done slightly differently, the team addressed them promptly. We passed the lead inspection on the first try.

I have experience in real estate, I have worked with a dozen contractors in DC, and I have accumulated a lot of horror stories over the years. My experience with this company was exactly the opposite: it was great. Eddie and I put everything into contracts, but a handshake with him was also meaningful. Eddie, Willie and the team were true professionals and fair minded. They did high-quality work efficiently and with integrity.

It is hard to imagine being happy about a lead remediation. Doing this work is inherently stressful. But these guys did everything they could to make it as easy an experience as possible. They were more than a pleasure to do business with.
