Reviews
What our clients say about building with us. From Houzz, HomeAdvisor, and Google.
The reviews here include a family that bid their project to 6 builders, the president of a construction-consulting firm who put his own inspectors on his Colonial build, and a client who has built five houses in four states over thirty-five years and called this one the best experience. Every quote below is verbatim.
“Of the builders that submitted a proposal and met our criteria, Colonial was chosen due to the proven track record and favorable building contract structure.”
“It was not unusual to see Kevin personally working around the house putting in those final touches that makes the difference between good and excellent work product.”
“Open-book contractor… Kevin worked with us through the permitting process to ensure building and environmental requirements were met.”
“On balance the best builder in Maryland. We have built five houses in four states over thirty five years and this is by far our best experience… You explicitly see all invoices and costs… Kevin is transparent, an excellent value, honest plus an expert with a vast construction background.”
“We get so many compliments on our new home… our guests always say so many nice things about the open layout and giant wall of glass in our two-story large open room. I never thought it was possible to get 8,000 sq ft of living space onto a small lot in Bethesda, but the design team made it happen for us.”
“We hired Colonial to design and build our home in Bethesda… Kevin and his staff pay very careful attention to every detail and made the entire process stress free for us. Colonial has its own full-time carpentry and paint crew… the carpenters over delivered and created our unique new home features we were hoping for.”
“4 months into the process and all my questions have been addressed. Builder is always providing solutions which was really important for us. Also, budget seems right on track… Just what we wanted.”
“We hired Colonial to design and build our dream home, and we are thrilled with the finished product. Kevin and his team were outstanding. They listened, they executed, and they delivered the highest quality home you could imagine.”
“I retained personnel to ensure that no shortcuts were being made… I can say with no reservations that Kevin Slezak excelled in all areas.”
“Responsiveness, Punctuality, Quality, Professionalism, Value”
Three things come up again and again
- The contract. You see what your house costs before we build it: a construction contract agreed after design, with finish materials and allowances settled up front. Clients cite that structure as the reason they chose Colonial.
- The owner. Kevin has run every project himself since 2007, and clients describe him doing final-touch work with his own hands.
- The finish. Homes delivered on time, on budget, to spec - proven time and again, no shortcuts.
