General Contractor reviews in Bethesda, Maryland

If I could only give a 10, I would!!!

Professional and knowledgeable. Carlos, Freddy and team are responsive and thorough in quality and craftsmanship. Five stars.

We have worked with Carlos on two projects and he is a total pleasure--always friendly and professional and ready to troubleshoot and figure out answers to any issues. Highly recommend!

We were extremely pleased with the process and the outcome of our bathroom modeling project. The entire team was always responsive and helped bring the project to fruition. They always went the extra mile. This is our fourth project with Bethesda Contracting Company.

We had the best experience with the company. They finished early and under budget. We were very please. The center of the operation is Marvin who is the most professional and kind person. He is essential to this company. Thank you.

BC worked seamlessly with our architect. We love the end result. Everyone at BC was so responsive and pleasant to work with. Carlos and his crew are true craftsman.

I've gotten to know the team at Bethesda over the years. This is a professional outfit filled with people who care. Their designs are awesome and the build team knows how to bring those renderings to life.

Bethesda Contracting is all about community. Mike and his team live and work in the community. Therefore, they care about the families they work with. They provide long term strategies for home repair and remodeling that seeks to balance maximizing comfort and enjoyment of the home while considering expenses and long term value. They are stewards of their reputation by providing high quality work and professional referrals. We trust Bethesda contracting with our most valuable asset, our home.

We’ve used Bethesda Contracting for several large projects and will keep going back. Very impressed with their level of quality and willingness to make sure the job is done right. And Raymond is a gem :)

We have done two projects with Bethesda Contracting including 3 bathrooms, a new second floor laundry and a killer bar. They are the best! Very professional, very particular on the quality and very careful with our house. I would recommend them to anyone.

I could not have hoped for a better experience with our basement renovation! Bethesda Contracting turned our unlevel floors, wasted space, cramped laundry room, leaking shower and just overall problematic basement into a luxury retreat! Claire designed a stunning entertainment center, a huge wall of cabinet storage and a truly amazing bathroom! It’s a truly incredible transformation and they were wonderful to work with every step of the way! We were also lucky to have Carlos as the foreman on our job, and he treated our house like it was his own. He took so much care and pride in getting every single thing right! I was very pleased with the entire experience and would not hesitate to hire them again!

From the initial consultation to the final touches, Bethesda Contracting’s professionalism, expertise, and dedication were evident every step of the way. We cannot emphasize enough how beyond pleased we are with the outcome of both bathrooms. Working with Jen and Claire on the selections and design truly transformed the spaces into functional and relaxing areas of our home. Throughout the entire process, communication with Greg and Jose was seamless. Your availability to address any concerns or questions my husband and I had made the renovation experience stress-free and enjoyable. We will highly recommend Bethesda Contracting to anyone seeking reliable contractors for their home improvement projects! We look forward to the opportunity to work with you again in the future for any further projects. Thank you!!!!

Bethesda Contracting gave our 1950s split-level the serious upgraded it needed - expanded kitchen, new mudroom, new powder room, updated bathrooms, new siding, and a re-graded driveway. We had daily updates from our lead carpenter and weekly meetings with both our lead carpenter and our project manager. Projects were done promptly and completely. Their teams were polite and professional, and they did a great job cleaning up at the end, too. We were very pleased.

Carlos Alfaros Was our foreman and he did an outstanding job on our renovation. He consistently went above and beyond. Really, I can’t say enough about his skills, professionalism, and kindness. We are so appreciative of all the crew members for creating new and beautiful spaces in our home.

Bethesda Contracting has done excellent work for us on multiple projects over the years, including a home addition, a kitchen remodel, and a bath remodel. They are terrific to work with, and they do a great job of planning ahead so that the projects get done on time and on budget.

We worked with Carlos on the renovation of our house and he was the best! He always showed exceptional professionalism and knowledge and answered all of our questions along the way. The quality of his work was top-notch and he finished the project in a timely manner, while still paying close attention to every detail. We highly recommend Carlos to anyone looking for a reliable, skilled, and trustworthy construction professional!

Bethesda Contracting is the best. We used them for two renovations. Carlos Alfaro was the head team member for our last renovation. He his smart, dedicated, easy to work with and best of all, so knowledgeable about all the aspects of a renovation. We have not used Bethesda Contracting since our renovation because there has been no need. Everything they did has held up so well Carlos was such an important part of all of this. I could not recommend Carlos or Bethesda Contracting more highly.

Bethesda Contracting did a superb job renovating our kitchen. Mike THiede was great, but so too was Carlos Alfaro, one of the senior carpenters. Carlos was at our house almost every day for the project. he is highly skilled, and very personable. my wife and i love him!

We hired Bethesda Contracting to do what became a complete overhaul of the second floor of our house. The scope involved fully redoing two bathrooms (including the primary), adding a laundry room, adding a heat pump and running ductwork, and expanding a walk-in closet including significant structural work. To add to the project’s complexity, we had a tight, non-negotiable deadline because we were expecting our second child.

The project couldn’t have gone better, thanks entirely to the professionalism and conscientiousness of Mike Thiede, Mark Okolita, and their team at Bethesda Contracting. They not only accommodated the project’s evolving scope within our schedule, they were instrumental in helping us make hundreds of decisions throughout the renovation. Their craftsmanship was excellent, and we couldn’t be happier with the work. Every detail was executed in line with our expectations. The house looks and feels exactly the way we had hoped.

Throughout the process, the BC team went above and beyond. We moved home a week before our son was born (early), and on the day he arrived, there were probably ten workmen in the house working hard to complete punch list items who stayed until 10pm that night to make the house ready for our return. After we came home, they were exceptionally thoughtful and conscientious as they completed every single item on the list, down to the smallest detail.

Maybe the most notable aspect of our experience came a few weeks ago, during a terrible heat wave. My wife was home alone with an 18-mo old and a 3-mo old, while I was traveling. The new heat pump suddenly stopped working, and temperatures rapidly rose in my sons’ bedrooms. My wife called Mike (the owner of Bethesda Contracting) at 7pm in a panic. He was at our doorstep 30 minutes later, working in our 105+ degree attic until after 11pm.

My sense of gratitude to Mike and Bethesda Contracting is way beyond that of a satisfied homeowner following a significant renovation. The whole team went way above and beyond to make our house a home. In the process, they earned our deep appreciation and esteem. Needless to say, we could not recommend them more highly.

Bethesda Contracting exceeded all of our expectations. Their team was receptive and creative, they kept to the schedule, and the end result is absolute perfection. We can’t even believe it’s our kitchen! This is our second project with them and it will not be our last.

We had an awesome experience working with Bethesda Contracting on our home renovation. They did a gut renovation of our kitchen, added a brand new powder room, and created a beautiful, functional laundry area — and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out.
From start to finish, the team was professional, easy to communicate with, and clearly committed to doing high-quality work. They made the whole process feel way less stressful than we expected.
A special shoutout to Carlos, our on-site Project Manager, who was fantastic throughout the project. He kept everything running smoothly, stayed on top of the details, and was always available to answer questions or talk through ideas. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing the project was in such good hands. We also had a wonderful experience working with Mike, Jason and Greg and we really appreciated Jennifer’s support with the design and selection of finishes.
We’re so happy with the results and would definitely recommend Bethesda Contracting to anyone planning a home renovation.
