Reviews of Landis Architects/Builders (Architect)

Anthony Hartmann

I hired Landis to do the design and construction for my rear deck and a couple of bathrooms, as well as do extensive repairs on the exterior of the house. I had a great experience from start to finish, from my initial meeting with Ethan who was informative, knowledgeable, and took the time to listen to all of my wants/needs. My designer/architect was Tahani and always had very professional and complete drawings for me to wirk with.The construction crew showed up ready to work every day and Andrew kept me up to date on the progress. I cannot say enough about the team over at Landis! From start to finish they answered every question I had, were very responsive and professional, and worked hard to stay within my budget. Every one I dealt with could not have been more professional. Even the neighbors loved the guys who worked on the house. The communication from their entire team was constant and I never felt like I was out of the loop. Landis should be your first and only call for a renovation project!

I first hired Landis in 2012 to restore significant damages done to my house. What they were able to do with my home completely surpassed my expectations. Joe Caw has been the project manager for each time that I have hired Landis and him as well as Ethan were always professional, respectful, and quality focused. I also hired Landis to do work on my basement and some exterior projects, and with both of them I got an incredible amount of value. I was particularly pleased with the all new bathroom they installed.

Landis Construction built a ensuite bathroom from a walk-in closet, and reconfigured the same room with a wall of closets that look like they were built with the house 122 years ago. They also did other work in other rooms. They are efficient, clean, and reliable. I would definitely engage their services again.

We used to have an attic as our second floor. We now have an entire entertainment center as our second floor thanks to Landis. We have a much better view and expanded living space upstairs and the remodeling is beautiful. The personnel was exceptional, Tahani Share was great with the designs and Allen Apple and Tito were excellent in their professionalism and consistency with keeping us up to date. I love recommending Landis whenever I hear about a friend thinking about remodeling!

Landis Architects/Builders worked with us start to finish on a two-phase major remodeling project of a landmark historic Kalorama townhouse. Working closely with us and our design team, their ideas, work product, responsiveness and ongoing service were absolutely fantastic. When faced with the inevitable challenges of a century-old house they understand the structural issues and responded with specialized solutions that gave us a real showplace. More importantly the house is functional and livable. Highest recommendation.

Rob Hawkins

One of the first things I noticed in our job with Landis was the respect shown by everyone who came to the house. They were always on time, communicated thoughtfully, and showed serious attention to detail. Dale, Brett, and Carlos in particular impressed me with their communication and craftsmanship. I highly recommend for any construction job, big or small.

Chelsea Zitnay

Overall, we have been very happy with the work completed by Landis Architects/Builders. We brought them a very large project and have been very impressed with how timely the work was completed! When they gave us a timeline for when we might expect the work to be finished, they really meant it! Not to mention, everything turned out absolutely beautifully! Plus, the process, although quite cumbersome and very time intensive, was actually relatively fun and made enjoyable and easy to manage by the staff assigned to assist throughout the process. We will certainly be using Landis again and already have begun future project plans to do so :)

Angela Phillips Diaz

Tito was superb- quality of work, attention to details & pride in doing an excellent job. He's also an effective mentor for younger workers. Doug is talented architect -- vision & creativity while ensuring consistency to the original structure. The job is complete & the addition is better than we had imagined it could be. The highest praise is that the addition looks & feels like the original house.

James Edmonds

We have hired Landis for various projects since 2006. From our backyard patio over garage and stone wall to our front steps and our rear room addition, they have done an extensive amount of work in our house. Carlos Marin was very skillful and professional with his carpentry work, and Ethan Landis made sure the process was smooth. They listen, are easy to talk to, responsive, interested in our home, and are proud of the quality of their work. They also have great coffee mugs!! They are sensitive to the architecture of the house as well, and they know how to apply research knowledge and experience to achieve the right look.

Michael Conway

An outstanding company who worked with us from day one in undergoing a challenging project with a great deal of flexibility and understanding. Very professional in all that they do with a sincere desire for meeting our hopes and dreams for our home!"

Patrick McGowen

I called Landis Builders after I saw a beautiful renovation they did in Dupont Circle. Ethan Landis took the time to discuss several options for renovating/converting my small apartment building - in the end, I have more research to do. HOWEVER, I was so impressed that I had to write a review anyway.... This guy is extremely knowledgeable and comes across as very trustworthy and honest. He would be the FIRST person I would call if I need a top-notch renovation.

Felix Paredes

I have been working with Landis for about 10 years, doin many types of construction from concrete footing to roof reworking and everything in between. The quality of work that I do for Landis is top notch. You always know that when you are working with them you get professionalism and an amazing finished product. Jon Bein, Allen Apple, and Andrew Kerr are all excellent project managers and I am proud of all the work I have done with them. I am grateful for all the opportunity and work I have had with Landis, and proud to be part of the family.

Lucas Fischer

We hired Landis to do a full renovation of our house. They were able to provide with a wonderful finished product in just 6 months, everything from our driveway to our attic was renovated on some level. We added a new kitchen and master bedroom and the whole thing is beautiful - the kitchen of my dreams! Landis is professional and easy to work with - always responsive and willing to talk through an issue or a change during the work. Neighbors also appreciated the attention to community. Carlos Rodriguez was here everyday and paid attention to everything, as well as tidying up every night - he even went around with flyers to all the neighbors before work started to let them know who they could contact if they had an issue. Landis also stands by their work - our retaining walls started to lean after three years and they came back and re-did them after determining the cause of the problem. I would highly recommend Landis for any your reconstruction needs.

Erna Kerst

Landis has done two projects for us: expanding the house, with new kitchen and master bedroom, and later converting two porches into living spaces. Both times, we have been impressed by the quality of design and execution. The crews are really skilled, and good problem solvers when faced with structural issues. Schedules are met. Oversight is consistent and helpful. We are very happy with the results. Andrew Kerr, the project manager, and Ken Guillett are both very professional and skilled, and were a pleasure to have in our home.

Williston Dye

Paul Gaiser (Architect) provided a wonderful, functional design and saw it through to completion. He also made adjustments as concealed conditions were encountered without compromising the design. The space he created became a very special place for out family.

Sandy Shapiro

I have hired Landis several times over the years for different renovations, and each time we have been so happy with the outcome. From the first job to the most recent, Landis has maintained an excellent standard of quality and professionalism. We continue to appreciate our remodeled kitchen and bathroom as well as basement and garage (and our daughter's room!!) each day, and I would always recommend them for any residential remodeling or additions.

Market Hardware Inc .

The team at Landis simply does nothing but amazing work in the DC area. Their projects range from kitchen, bath, attic, basement remodeling... you name it. They do top of the line work (just check out some of their samples in their portfolio). On top of that, they are a pleasure to work with!

Tholama

Awesome place and people ! I loved the way they all work together to attend as best as possible the request of the client.

Claudia Cundra

We had a huge flood that damaged our basement significantly. We hired Landis to come in and demolish what was left of our basement and we had them install new floors, walls and ceilings. The crew that came in was very professional, and Jon Bein made sure I was kept up to date on the progress each week. It's funny, nowadays I'm almost glad the flood happened because Landis came in and made our basement spectacular. It was worth every penny.

Melinda Felds

Landis added an addition to our home this past summer. We are very pleased with the outcome. The staff are very professional and reliable. The experience was stress free.

I was extremely satisfied with the work of Landis in my home. I had my kitchen expanded and redone. The process was incredibly smooth and the personnel and managers took care of every step. Ethan Landis, Carlos Marin, Allen Apple, Matt Dirksen, and David Richardson all took great care of the project.

Sarayu Sharma

We are very happy with the work and the outcome and loving the new space. It’s hard to believe we did an addition as everything blends in so well. Really appreciate the initial time spent by Paul in thinking through the design with us and the level of detail that the lead carpenter brought to it. Overall project management and responsiveness to all our queries and requests were also greatly appreciated.

Amy Dibner

We hired Landis to create an addition on the back of our home expanding our kitchen and living area. We also had our old bathroom torn out and installed a completely new master bathroom with new fixtures and finishes as well as a new layout. We wanted more natural light in our home and Landis was able to provide just that with well placed skylights and windows. Tahani Share did great work with the design plans, and Jon Bein and Luis Orellana were regularly on site and kept us updated with the process every step of the way. Everyone we worked with was very conscientious and skilled, and pleasant to have in our home. This was very important to us considering our renovation took about 6-8 months. All in all, we highly recommend Landis. It is not the cheapest service, but you get what you pay you for, and they hit their deadlines with quality work.

Aviva Rosenthal

We did a major design/build project with Landis on a historic home where we gutted and updated the existing interior and then added a large addition. They were simply amazing to work with. Super organized, trustworthy, on-time, high quality and the finished product is perfection. Many of our neighbors complimented us on such a courteous and efficient team during the renovation process -- when do you hear of that?? There were often up to 20 tradespeople working at the same time to get a long job done in exactly the time they said it would. Highly recommend Landis for large and complex projects.
