Bolt Builders

Any renovation can be stressful but add in a Resource Protection Area and COVID and things get very tricky. Our experience with Bolt Builders had a few ups and downs, long permit wait, COVID price increases, unavailable selections but throughout the process, they communicated issues quickly, provided options, and worked to keep the project moving forward. They easily tackled our request for an open floorplan and open-tread, switch back stairs - a real showpiece in our home. Our renovation added a spacious kitchen and living room with wood-burning fireplace, a master bedroom suite, 2 ensuite bedrooms for our kids, a guest bedroom with adjacent bath, along with front and back porches with a screened-in section. Bolt Builders worked seamlessly with our architect and interior designer, and the Bolt Builders project manger provided weekly progress updates and regularly met with me on-site to discuss expectations at each phase of the project. Upon moving back into our home, Bolt Builders reminded us "no one has lived here, cooked a meal, taken a shower, spent the night, etc - as you get settled in, keep a list and we'll come back to fix and fine tune." True to their word, they repaired marks left by our movers, fixed a gap in the gutters revealed by heavy rain, fixed a few electrical issues, reordered/installed a window with a defect while working through their final punch list items. I would and have recommended Bolt Builders based on our positive experience, high quality workmanship and professional staff.

BOLT development has been an absolute pleasure to work with!! I am a local Realtor who is helping BOLT sell beautifully redeveloped units in Old Town Alexandria, and I'm beyond impressed with their work, their craftsmanship, and their ability to develop beautiful homes. So many buyers have commented on their outstanding attention to detail, beautiful craftsmanship, creatively designed spaces, and the overall quality of their work. BOLT turned an extremely run down property, which needed a LOT of work, into a beautiful building that homeowners will now be able to call their home for years to come. They know how to make the best out of what their given, and make their clients extremely happy with the product they deliver. It's been a pleasure working with BOLT and presenting their product to the public. I look forward to counting to work together to provide buyers with the opportunity to own a quality built, BOLT developed home. If you're looking to invest with BOLT, purchase a BOLT home, or just learn more about who they are & what they do, I highly encourage it!!!

A seamless and pleasant experience from beginning to end! Bolt Builders (Justin and his team/Juan) are professional, accommodating, and provide high quality work. I was contemplating some work but didn't have a clear vision of how best to proceed and decided to call Bolt Builders (we received a postcard in the mail). Justin came, we talked for a few minutes and he said he got it (didn't ask questions that I probably didn't have the answers to and didn't take up much of my time), he went off to take measurements and provided a simple but clear proposal a few days later. The planning/proposal stage was so pleasant and professional, I didn't feel the need to shop or compare with other contractors. The project was done on time and the outcome was excellent, so they are not just efficient but also highly effective. Communication is great. We have since reached out to Bolt for some additional work and Justin was more than accommodating and flexible to help out (even if not exciting or big project). You could not go wrong with Bolt Builders.

After meeting with multiple builders for our renovation and addition project, we ended up selecting Bolt Builders. Their engagement during the contract phase was excellent and they worked with us to ensure that the contract was complete and accounted for our budget etc. They also worked well with our lender, which is a critical component if you plan to finance your project. These types of projects are large, lengthy, complex, and expensive. Throughout the entire process the Bolt team (Eddie, Justin, and Kevin) was an incredibly responsive and collaborative partner. For a large project like this, things will invariably be delayed or will need to be adjusted on the fly. In all these instances, Bolt was a great partner, working with us to resolve any issues that came up and to keep to the agreed timeline. Our project is now complete, and we are very happy with the final product. I would highly recommend them for your project and if we do decide to do any additional projects, they will be our first call.

I am a material supplier, specifically premium windows, to Bolt Development Group and have had the first-hand opportunity to see their work from demolition until completion across multiple projects in the DC metro area. This company spares no expense doing things the "right" way as opposed to the easy or cheap way. Their consistent interest in understanding the quality of materials they place in their homes, their attention to detail in even the smallest areas of construction, and their thoroughness in completing a job from start to finish is impressive. Also their finishing touches are very creative. If I were buying a gut remodel, rehab, or remodeling my own home, Bolt would be at the top of my list in DC. And I meet contractors, developers, and builders every day. These guys care about their work and it shows. I always get excited about seeing what they're doing next.
