Working with Mr. Pulino has been great. He directed us to subcontractors for special projects and performed some plumbing work for us directly. Everything went smoothly and Mr. Pulino was very responsive.

Freeman Kitchen and Bath renovated 3 bathrooms and a basement rec room for us. John and his subcontractors were a pleasure to work with -- detail oriented; responsive to our needs, budget, and time constraints; and respectful of our property and time. Our only regret is that we don't have another job for them right now!

We contracted with Larry's Squash Blossom Remodeling to enlarge our master bath (including converting the bath to a walk-in shower) and create a walk-in closet in the master bedroom. This was done using Snapfish via an Angie's List concierge service. The job lasted 3.5 weeks, which was within the agreed-upon time-frame. Larry's design for the project was excellent, and his subcontractors proved to be terrific -- skilled, usually on-time, hardworking, pleasant and careful about cleaning up. Although there were a few glitches in material procurement, Larry was usually on top of the process and conscious of our deadlines. Regarding what could have been better, our only reservation was that Larry did not communicate up-front what our material procurement responsibilities were in terms of the project's timeline. It would have been more efficient (and less stressful) if we had at the start of work gotten a list of those items we ourselves needed to find and buy. Although Larry could be a bit prickly at times, we have been more than pleased with the results.

Our project entailed the addition of a sunroom with a cupola and copper roof that was aesthetically consistent in style and architecture with our existing 1940’s family home. To begin with, Apollo (Scott) not only corrected all the errors committed by the numerous architects we had employed to design a challenging room and yard, but he was also instrumental in identifying numerous cost saving measures from the architect’s final design. Scott was exceptional to work with. He was a constant presence at the site and was always informative as to the progression of activities and expected decision points and options in the construction process. The subcontractors used on the project were very professional, impressively competent and easy to work and communicate with. Scott was a pleasure to work with on a daily basis, and was unfailingly honest in all our interactions including cost and schedule. The project was completed on schedule with the exception of the local county inspector being on vacation for a short period of time. Nevertheless, Scott conscientiously pursued the conclusion of all work. Scott made every effort to meet our every need and requirement and went well beyond in researching options we had discovered along the process. He was always available to discuss our concerns during the entire project. It is important to note that Scott even worked with our landscaper after he finished the structure to assure that our entire vision was brought to fruition. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Apollo/Scott or using him for our projects in the future.

Arm and Hammer did a serious remodel on my family room. A complete teardown, replace floor joists, re-trued the walls and ceiling and they delivered a great job. I have found that many contractors don't get the details right. Tim's crew finished the ceiling and walls in a manner that people who have visited my house have noticed. How many times have you seen poor finish work detract from a major remodel? A sign of a serious contractor includes the trade subcontractors he brings onto the job, they were professional both their technical skills and how they went about delivering their services in my home. Tim's HVAC guy corrected a chronic problem with cold spots in the room. The electrical guy was so very professional as well. I highly recommend Arm and Hammer, great quality and good people.

Lee was great. He came in under what any other contractor bid for the job. And did fantastic work. He was Hands-On with the entire project and didn't leave it to subcontractors to do which I really appreciate. Lee install a family room a full bathroom and a full bedroom in my basement. He went from start to finish in a timely manner. He communicated very well and was able to change things what I change my mind on some things during the project. I would highly recommend him and we'll use him again.

Amy was great to work with and helped us to navigate a lot of decor decisions as we redecorated the first floor of our home in Arlington, VA. She provided us advice on how to best redo the living and dining rooms, as well as the kitchen -- which included new countertops and a very unique backsplash. She helped us troubleshoot situations that arose with delivery issues and streamlined communication between us and the subcontractors working on all of the projects in our home. In terms of timeline, we initially met with Amy in April, and the job was 95% complete by the end of August, with some furniture deliveries still pending. She did a great job pushing us out of our comfort zone on colors, textures, and decor, and we are extremely pleased with the result. We also appreciated her willingness to meet with us on weekends or evenings since our working schedules do not offer much flexibilty for weekday discussions. She was also able to combine a mix of high-end pieces and low-cost accents in such a way that blended a lot of style into a unique space. Two things that could improve next time would be to get more proctive, regular communciations on projects underway and establishing more concrete budgetary limits in the beginning of the discussions rather than once the project was underway. Having said that, we would certainly use Amy again and feel like our money was well-spent. We love our new first floor and have received many compliments on it as well.
