“I have worked for several years with the owners and designers at Bowers Design Build. In the course of my work as an architectural photographer, I have met hundreds of homeowners who have worked with dozens of builders. As I work in their homes (photographing them for Bruce and Wilma) I constantly hear how easy they are to work with, how responsive they are to their clients' needs, and how completely satisfied they are with the whole experience of having the Bowers' firm do their project. I am always happy to photograph another award-winning Bowers project because quality work makes for quality photography, and that works for me.”

“My wife and I selected Michael Nash from among five separate bids for a considerable renovation and expansion of our home. Michael Nash was the second lowest bidder, but our confidence in Sonny Nazemin’s eye for design and considerable number of award-winning designs was crucial in our initial selection. We have a grand house in Reston built in the late 1960s. It has solid bones but really needed a whole house renovation. We also needed more space to house our extended family. Our project consisted of a new two-car garage, siding, roofing and a totally new floor consisting of a master suite and bathroom. From the start of the project I was impressed with the one price upfront to complete the project. Sonny navigated our plans through the difficult process of approval by our local Design Review Board. His personal attention and negotiation with the board led to the rapid approval of our project. Follow on work for our front porch and driveway was reasonably priced. When we requested a re-design of the ceilings for the master suite, Sonny spared no expense hiring several architects to arrive at the design we desired. His vision throughout the project ensured its success. ******************* EXTRA FOLLOW-ON WORK COMPLETED jANUARY 25, 2014 *********************** We gave Michael Nash extra follow-on work with our kitchen because we were so pleased with how our Master Suite and other work turned out. We told Sonny that we had a limited budget but wanted to get as much of the kitchen done as possible. He suggested that we keep our old cabinets and redo everything else. Sonny has a great eye for design and suggested that we take out some cabinets to open up the room. He helped us with color choices that made the kitchen modern and bright. They replaced the oven, the hood, the induction cooktop, the counter, the floor, the sink, repaired and replaced doors, painted the room and put in a new lighting system with ten canned lights. Michael Nash kept to a timetable except for the hood at the end, which was really unavoidable. We are thrilled with our new kitchen and recommend Michael Nash to our neighbors and friends.”

“Spectrum has done a full bathroom and basement renovation for us, in addition to several smaller projects including replacing all the exterior doors to the house and refinishing our front porch. The quality of the work is excellent. Communicating for the purpose of planning and providing feedback is easy due to their rapid response and liberal use of email and cell contact. They responded well to feedback regarding the work site when we had complaints about dust and so forth. The quality of their work holds up; our bathroom completed in 2008 continues to be in terrific condition. They were described by the person who referred them, an architect, very accurately. "They're not the cheapest, but they're the best." I highly recommend them.”

“Kaitlin was great to work with from start to finish. She helped turn the ideas in my head turn into a finished product that was better than imagined. She helped me make both decisions (big and small) in order to ensure that the design and function work with our space and family. Kaitlin communicated throughout the process to make sure expectations matched reality. Highly recommend!”

“Mark from eMCee Design was perfect to work with. I thought I knew exactly what I wanted, more or less. However, Mark's creativity, helpfulness and design sense brought our home renovation to a whole new level. He's the only person I would work with going forward and give him my highest recommendation.”

“Elena listens and then creates! She looked at our drab kitchen & brought in light and life. A professional with unique ideas & suggestions regarding flooring, lights, perfectly placed cabinets, counter-top materials & surface colors. Her drawings: precise & detail oriented. Also, Elena answered all of our emails (& believe me, I sent plenty!). We actually feel younger using the space! Thank you, Elena.”

“Govan Builders LLC did a number of projects for me, the last one being a very large one. I can without reservations recommend this company to anyone.”

“Probably the best company I've ever hired bar none to do extensive remodeling work to my residence. Bob is a master at transforming the ordinary into something extraordinary by implementing contemporary and upscale pieces whether its cabinetry, tile work, stone, ovens, pools etc to his design. The designs are beyond the scope of what other companies do which is "cookie cutter" and he definitly will make what you want stand out. I would hire him in a heartbeat and plan on doing 10 more projects with him in the future.”
