Fred Home Improvement is a leading contractor in DC, MD, and VA known for providing the best service. Customers report being ecstatic with completed projects, from minor fixes to total kitchen renovations and custom work. The team treats homes as if they were their own, performing meticulous, solid, and high-quality work. They are commended for being professional, polite, responsive, pleasant, and knowledgeable. The company handles a wide range of projects, resolving scoped work thoroughly. They often go beyond the initial scope, fixing related issues like plumbing or items not up to code to ensure the best end product. Fred Home Improvement uses fixed-price contracting and provides clear, tiered recommendations while being sensitive to costs. Their project management is strong, with teams frequently completing work ahead of schedule, on time, and on budget. While noted as expensive, the outstanding results and comprehensive service offer value that customers find 100% worth the cost, making them a highly recommended choice.
The FRED team performed a relatively small, but complicated project. They removed a basement window below grade and the corresponding window well surround. They sealed and waterproofed the exterior of the window opening, filled in the well and finished the exterior with a concrete top that is flush with the existing patio at grade. The interior was finished with framing and drywall. I found the project price to be reasonable and the quality of the workmanship is outstanding, inside and out. I have other projects in mind and l am going straight back to Steve Magill and FRED Home Improvement when the time comes to get them done.
I've completed several projects with the Fred team, and have been ecstatic about all of them. Consistently, they provide the BEST service, not only resolving the scoped project, but most importantly, treating my home like their own. We have had them fix plumbing issues related to the scope work but not a part of the scope to ensure that the end product was the best it could be, point out several things that were not up to code and fix them, keep the house as dust free as possible, arrive ON TIME for each day of work, and completed all of the projects ahead of schedule. The value is 100% worth the cost.
We had two planter boxes with trellises that are architectural features of the front of our house rebuilt because they were collapsing. The demolition and carpentry work were meticulously and solidly done and we are very happy with the results. Fred uses fixed price contracting, which in this case was probably to our benefit, because the project took longer than planned. They are expensive, but the quality of the work and the project management component made this a reasonable choice for this project.
