Elegant Homes,inc.

We hired Elegant Homes for repairs that were needed on our deck (originally built in 2006; almost 20 years old). Kevin managed the project for us, from estimate to completion, and was on site every day working with his team to complete the project. Elegant homes removed the old deck planks, replaced all of the rotten wood, poured new concrete footings for the supporting posts, laid new deck planks (Trex Lineage Biscayne line), replaced the deck lighting, and re-installed all of the original railing and trim.

We were so pleased with the level of communication, the quality and professionalism, and the reasonable price (much less than what we were quoted by a much larger company that does deck projects), that we hired Elegant Homes again to replace the screen and deck surface on our screened-in porch.

Highly recommend you include Elegant Homes in your list of contractors to bid on your deck project.

My experience with Elegant Homes, Inc could not have been better. I described the job, and Mr. Castillo gave input to accomplish my objectives. I plan to use them for future improvements.

I highly recommend this company. I asked 4 or 5 organizations for an estimate of fixing the siding on my house and none said they could fix it--except Elegant. They did a beautiful job and were quite efficient. And the cost was quite reasonable. They were very nice to deal with.

I had a whole bunch of wood rot in various trim around my house and had Elegant Homes repair and paint the new trim. They were professional and flexible in scheduling. They are knowledgeable and aren’t pushy. They might be pricier than a random handyman but well worth it and price was on par or less than other contractors (they will write you up a price quote and won’t do anything that adds cost without asking first, once work starts). They also seem to offer a wide range of exterior/interior work, unlike some bigger contractors that will only do replacements and not repairs. The overall experience was pleasant and work looks great. I’ll definitely use them again for my other home improvement projects!

Paz Castillo saved the day! I originally contracted "Elegant Homes" to an extensive outside repair and replace old trim, paint the whole house too, When a leak suddenly occurred on a Saturday morning in my basement. Paz, came right over and found a pinhole leak in my upstairs piping system. he repaired the pipe the same day and came back a week later and repaired all the drywall and painted the areas, like brand new! "Elegant Homes" did a great job too on the outside of my home with replacing all the bad trim and painting the exterior of my home. My home looks brand new. His crew were professional and repaired everything perfectly! GREAT JOB GUYS!
If I could give them more than 5 stars, I would! Thank you

I am very pleased with the work done by Elegant Home, Inc. in building a replacement porch for my home. The crew was professional, efficient and friendly. They worked quickly finishing the project within the promised time frame while working through slightly rainy weather. I would use Elegant Homes, Inc for any future projects.

Paz and his crew were so easy to work with. They built a raised deck for us. They were respectful of us and our home. They did what they said they would do, and and addressed any issues that we were concerned about and they worked efficiently and finished on time. I would use them again and I reccomend them highly.

Paz and his team are top notch! I’ve hired them to do various projects for me on both the interior and exterior of my home. I’ve worked with several contractors over the years and Paz is the best. High quality workmanship, professional team, reasonable cost. They do what they say they are going to do. You can trust them implicitly. I would not hesitate for a second to recommend Elegant Homes to family and friends.

I added a bedroom and bathroom to my house, and Paz and his team did an excellent job. They were professional and provided updates at various stages of the project. The project was completed about six weeks before the agreed time. I’m super glad that I used their service.

Very good experience, we had our siding, gable and garage door fixed. Kevin and his crew are very responsive to our extra works and do it quickly and ver satisfactorily. Highly recommended if you need things fixed

Amazing contractor! What a find! We are grateful repeat customers of Elegant Homes. There's another 5 star review on Google talking about the crumbling concrete stairs removed from our home front and replaced with a wonderful porch. It's added a lot to our curb appeal. We selected Elegant Homes to return for a kitchen remodel. Also, we asked them to replace the sagging ceiling in the front room. Once they were working here, we asked if they could look at a suspicious moldy spot on the bathroom ceiling and fix some funky wiring done by a previous contractor. We're glad for that add-on mini project because the upstairs toilet was leaking - an old wax seal. Toilet fixed, bathroom wiring sorted, new ceiling in and bathroom painted equals happy customers. Future nasty crisis avoided! We're already planning to have them return to do windows in the future. Let's talk about the experience... We enjoyed having Paz return as sales person and project lead. Paz gave us excellent ideas and advice on the project. The estimate was detailed and reasonable. He saw the job thru from start to finish. He is an excellent communicator. We got responses typically same day. He dropped by often to see how things were progressing. We were also delighted to welcome back the same work crew. They are considerate, hard working and friendly. Kevin, the crew lead, gave us daily updates. He was responsive to any requests and concerns. Our expectations and responsibilities were clearly managed. There is a big mirror over the mantle in the front room. Sometimes these old ceilings just collapse when demolition starts. We were told they couldn't guarantee the mirror would survive, but that they would replace it if necessary. They covered the mirror, were careful and the mirror survived intact. Paz included new insulation in the front room ceiling for this 1950s home on the estimate. Sure enough, the old insulation was seriously deteriorated allowing the cold in freely. We'll be saving money on heating thanks to their experience. Kevin's crew took care to cover the wooden floors and hang plastic to stop plaster dust when they started the job. The worksite was always left tidy. When the project hit a snag, there was no drama. An appliance kept being delayed. The crew left the kitchen as functional as possible. Once the appliance arrived, the crew returned quickly to finish up the job. These folks show up when they say they will. Time estimates are accurate and we were kept up to date on any changes. We are enjoying our refurbished home. If you are looking for an experienced contractor dedicated to doing a wonderful job and offering great customer satisfaction, then Elegant Homes is the one! We heartily recommend them to you.

I am so pleased with Paz and his team. They were punctual and efficient. By the way my deck turned out they are very experienced carpenters with great attention to detail. They also have respect for their clients property, leaving the area spotless. After the deck surface replacement and some needed flashing along one wall was complete they went around and sealed and boarded any gaps they found in the existing deck foundation.
Thank you guys!

On this visit, Elegant Homes reconstructed a gate and the door to our shed. The new door looks great on the shed. They also got rid of a leak in the shower, installed two shower heads, and fixed two small electrical problems. All of the work was done quickly and well. I really like doing business with this company.

I needed a piece of a rotten suffit repaired and some damaged siding replaced. Elegant homes
responded promptly, surveyed the damaged and gave me a detailed estimate with costs. A crew of three arrived on time and completed the work in a
day. I am very pleased with the result.
This is the second time I am using Elegant Homes and I intend to use them again as need arise.

We worked with Paz and his team at Elegant homes for a pretty significant renovation in our home. Our job consisted of a variety of projects large and small. We were in constant communication, and he never hesitated to meet me at the house to review something so we were both sure it ended up perfect.

We love the end result and love our new home!

Paz was very responsive to my request for proposal. During initial visit his was very tuned in to what i needed. He bid it appropriately and when compared to 2 other company’s proposals was the best value. His crew was very pleasant to work with. They were on time, efficient and performed quality work. They completed the job ahead of time. I recommend Elegant Homes and plan to have them do my next project.

Paz and his team did a splendid job updating our complicated layout of a kitchen from the 40’s. Paz stood out to us when we were interviewing contractors for how knowledgeable he is both about renovations, but also about our home. He came highly recommended to us for other projects completed in our neighborhood which looked great. He was accurate from cost estimate to managing expectations with the timeline (they even finished ahead of schedule!) He made important recommendations during the process and didn’t sugar coat things which I really appreciated and preferred.

We are very happy with how beautiful and stylish our kitchen looks (plus it’s much safer and up to date thanks to his team!) and would hire him again for any renovation project. He was very communicative and listened, and built great trust with us. Highly recommend!

Elegant Homes has been to my house several times, always with outstanding results. Paz always gives detailed estimates and provides useful options on how the work can be done, and he's a good listener. Kevin and the crew at Elegant Homes are highly professional and apparently can do almost any kind of home renovation. This is a great company!

I hired Elegant Homes to replace over a hundred pieces of rotten exterior trim on the exterior of my home. They completed the work on time, on budget and with great professionalism. I was impressed with their attention to detail and the overall quality of the work. Couldn't have asked for a smoother process. Thank you to Paz and Kevin for the excellent work!

I've used Elegant Homes for several projects over the last 5 years. They have replaced a section of my backyard fence, replaced gutters on the house and repainted a room, They repaired a bathroom wall that had water damage and replaced the ceiling that had mold. They are always easy to work with, on time and make sure I'm satisfied before they leave the job. Elegant Homes is my first call when something breaks.

We had a basement door installed. The crew did an excellent job and was very professional. Paz was very responsive. I would definitely recommend Elegant Homes.

I found this company from a listing on the web. Elegant Homes was the only business that responded with business know how. They didn’t throw out a low bid to catch my attention, they came to my home to look at the job and then gave an estimate. I accepted. The crew came on time and knew exactly what to do. I couldn’t have been more pleased. They were diligent, professional and got the job done in one day. If you want a serious crew to work on your project, these are the folks you want.

“Paz,” the owner, has high standards. He and his crews share wide-ranging knowledge of construction and homeownership; thus, they are excellent problem solvers.
Our family had five mid-major projects that were fairly complicated and we talked with Paz about each. He showed an outstanding ability to analyze the situations and what needed done to achieve solid, long- lasting, reasonably-priced, project results — that made the homeowner satisfied and happy.
He has done two of those projects so far, with Kevin as the outstanding crew leader and Paz as oft-present manager. We are delighted with the results. It turned out better than we expected. They saw some things that we didn’t see or expect, but addressed them and thereby improved the result. They pay attention to detail and thus improved on our plan. Highly Recommend.

Paz and his team at Elegant Homes was a pleasure to work with!

Paz was very friendly, professional in explaining the quote, taking photos, timely responses and adapting to external challenges. His team helped me complete exterior structure repairs and was able to complete the work within a day.

I would likely use them again for other services I may need and would recommend them to anyone looking for work done!

We had a basement wall soaked, Paz and his crew identified the problem ( pipe leaking behind the basement ceiling), fixed it, re- installed the dry wall and painted it. They are punctual and responsible. We’re very satisfied with their work, and glad we chose them to work with.

I have worked with Elegant Homes several times over the last few years for miscellaneous repairs around my house. They are prompt and courteous, and communicate well. They did all the work to my satisfaction at the price quoted.

Thank you Elegant Homes for our new deck! Mr. Paz Castillo and his crew did an incredible job building a new deck at our home in Derwood, MD! They were very prompt, committed and communicative in the process! From the initial inspection to the finishing touches they explained the process very clearly. The crew is polite and arrived on time every day of the scheduled repairs. We also had them do some repairs and painting job inside our property. And I was impressed how thorough the crew was. After they were done everything was clean and tidy. I would give Elegant Homes 10 stars ⭐️ if there was an option. Highly recommend this company to anyone who is looking for great reliable contractors in MD zip codes!
Looking to work with this company in the future! Special thanks to Kevin who is the field manager and helped me understand every step in this repair project! Best of luck to you, Elegant Homes, Inc.

Thank you, Paz Castillo, and your entire crew for a fantastic job at my house both inside and out. I appreciate your professional and prompt service and the very high-quality work that you do. I will be calling you again when I need renovations or work on my house

Got notice from homeowners association that needed to repair damage to wood exterior pieces. Elegant Homes responded to my inquiry, gave an estimate, and came and completed repairs. Quick, professional, beautiful result! Couldn’t be happier!

Thank you, Paz, Kevin, and team, for a great job rebuilding my deck! I appreciate your responsiveness, attention to details big and small. Highly recommend!

This company was so fast, careful, and thorough. My house needed numerous repairs and they did them beautifully and quickly. I recommend them without hesitation. I was going through cancer treatment at the time and they were also very compassionate towards my limitations on communication and low energy some days. They are skilled and they are good people.

I am so very pleased with the exterior repair, replacement of rotted wood and painting of my house. Paz and his company were very professional and skilled. They arrived on time and provided quality services. I highly recommend this quality company. I am looking forward to working with this company again. Definitely 5 star!!!

I asked Paz to perform an estimate on my home for replacing siding and some additional resurfacing such as painting/replacing trim. While the price was more than what I expected, the quality of the work was unmatched. I am extremely pleased with the outcome and would hire his team again.

Elegant Homes did a masterful job repairing my front step railings and replacing my roof rake boards. This is the second time they have done work for me and each time I was satisfied with the work done. I highly recommend them.

Boy, am I glad I found Paz and his company, Elegant Homes. I needed extensive repair work on the exterior trim exterior and a new paint job. I waited so long to act because I was afraid of being more dissatisfied with the work than I was with the problem. This experience was the one I had hoped for. I can recommend Elegant Homes without hesitation.
Where to begin? First, Paz is the president of a small company and he is clearly concerned, first and foremost, with quality and reputation. The operation is small enough that he visited the job nearly every day. In addition to long experience in the industry, his strong suit is communication. What needs to be done, how will they approach it, how will the work be sequenced and when will it be finished.
The people he employs are first rate. They work hard and know what they're doing. I think they take pride in their work and I don't have to tell you what a difference that makes.
When the job was finished the house looked terrific (if Kevin gives you advice on colors, take it!) and I could get a good night's sleep knowing that the rain was running OFF the house and not seeping INTO it.
Am I being too enthusiastic? I don't know, but I've asked Paz to do another piece of work on the inside of the house. It's not a hard decision to make when you know you're dealing with the right people.

Paz, the owner, went out of his way to make my mess beautiful. Workers were professional on time and cleaned up after themselves.

We have had Elegant Homes work with us at
our home on two separate occasions now , one job lasting one day and the other taking four weeks .

All of the work done was excellent .
Paz and his men are efficient , timely , reasonably priced, organized , and take pride in the work they do.
Any time an issue came up the quick response was helpful, solution oriented and successful.
I am planning on working with them again in the future .
I strongly recommend Elegant Homes for home renovation and handyman type work .

I had such a positive experience with Paz and his team! We just finished getting approval on the final inspection for our beautiful new front porch! From a quick initial consult where we discussed what we were looking for, to a quick turnaround on the estimate, to quality work and finishing on time, every step of the way was easy and well done. The work crew was very good at communicating what was needed. We had a small issue with a subcontractor that installed the railing, and Paz made sure to be here when they came back to address the issue to be sure it was done right. I definitely recommend Elegant Homes for any of your projects!

We've hired Elegant Homes for a few projects over the last three years, and will continue to do so. Paz is incredibly professional and friendly, makes himself easy to reach, and takes care to treat customers with respect and courtesy. He arrives when he says he will and really listens to what you need.

The team does excellent, thorough work and cleans up before they leave. We recently had our deck refurbished and they did their best to collect all scraps, nails, screws, and debris.

One of the biggest difficulties in hiring people for home improvement work is that companies don't want to take "small" jobs. We've been ignored and blown off by MANY companies who apparently think $2k, $10k, or even $40k isn't worth their time. Not Elegant Homes! So happy we found this great company to work with.

Great company top to bottom. I would not hesitate to hire. Professional, prompt, did excellent work, and a reasonable price. I am already re-hiring for another project I have.

Mr. Castillo showed up at my house exactly as when scheduled and provided his estimate the following day. The crew showed up on time and performed brilliantly. Finally, the bill was EXACTLY what Mr. Castillo estimated. Can't think of a better company to work on your house than Elegant Homes, Inc.

Worked with the company before for handy-man repairs and for a replacement of a front porch. Was very pleased with both. The construction was reasonably quick, about a month including some stoppages for weather. The final result was a big improvement in the front of the house. Paz was attentive to water problems that damaged our old porch, and took care of grading and routing water from the gutters to avoid future problems. They also installed a french drain and sump pump to resolve a water problem. They identified and repaired a termite/carpenter bee problem as well. Would definitely recommend and use again. Easy to work with. Price was exactly as estimated.

Great effort at a fair price. Highly recommend due to their ideas and experience which enriched our planning. Good people, on time and responsible!

I had a great experience with Paz and his team at Elegant Homes on a hall bath remodel! They arrived when they said the would arrive, worked very hard and got the job done in the estimated timeframe. Great quality of work and I will certainly call them again for my next project!

Elegant Homes is the best in Montgomery County for remodeling or handyman work in my opinion. I’ve worked on many different remodeling projects with them and they do excellent and timely work. Compared to any builder or handyman service, they are head and shoulders above the rest. Paz Castillo is meticulous and takes pride in every project he and his crew have ever done for me. He has fixed problems that no one else could even figure out. There is never a problem he hasn’t been able to solve and never any hassle or misunderstanding...and that is rare in this day and age. You will not be sorry if you are lucky enough to work with Elegant Homes. I have no hesitation in referring this company to anyone!
