Home Design Inc — Local services in Fairfax

I can’t offer anything but the strongest recommendation for anyone considering working with HomeDesign. My experience with them was nothing short of fantastic. From the moment they walked through my front door to the completion of my basement project, they exceeded my expectations in every possible way.

First and foremost, they are incredibly skilled at what they do. As far as I can tell, their work is top-notch, and the quality of their craftsmanship speaks for itself. But beyond just doing great work, they were also some of the most professional and respectful people I’ve had the pleasure of working with.

One of the things that stood out the most was how different they were from other contractors I considered. Many other companies I reached out to would send a single commercial representative to take a quick look at the basement and provide a rough estimate, often with the caveat that they’d only come back for a real design and quote once I was ready to commit. HomeDesign didn’t do that. When I opened my front door for their initial visit, I was genuinely surprised to see an entire team standing there. They brought an electrician, a plumber, and a carpenter, all of whom wanted to personally assess the space to ensure that the quote they provided was accurate from the very start. That level of thoroughness and commitment to transparency was incredible and set the tone for the rest of the project.

Another huge differentiator was that they were never pushy. Many of the other contractors I spoke with made me feel like I was being pressured into making decisions I wasn’t sure about. I never felt that way with HomeDesign. They listened, they advised, and they worked with me rather than trying to dictate the process. I was recently divorced and handling this project on my own, not entirely sure how I wanted everything to come together. I had some ideas that I thought were decent, but throughout the process, they gently helped refine those ideas, suggesting small but impactful changes that made the design significantly better.

Aisha was amazing with design, offering fantastic suggestions that made the space both more functional and aesthetically pleasing. She had a great eye for layout and detail, and her input was invaluable in shaping the final look.

Ebu was great at outlining my options and working with his crew to ensure everything went smoothly. He explained things in a way that made sense, which was particularly helpful for me since I didn’t always know the best approach. One of his best suggestions was for my downstairs bathroom—he recommended adding a half-wall about a yard high to separate the shower area from the rest of the space. That simple addition made a huge difference in both the visual appeal and functionality of the bathroom, and I never would have thought of it on my own.

Nate was fantastic with communication, always quick to respond to my messages and keeping everything on track. Whenever I had a question or needed an update, I never had to wait long for a clear and helpful response from him.

They remained flexible throughout the process, open to making adjustments and tweaks along the way without making me feel like I was inconveniencing them. Every suggestion they made improved the overall result, and their experience really showed in the way they handled every aspect of the project.

And on top of all of this—the high-quality work, the friendly and professional team, the thoughtful design recommendations—HomeDesign was by far the most affordable option of all the companies I got quotes from. That was almost shocking to me because, typically, you’d expect the best contractors to be the most expensive, but in this case, they delivered the best work and were the cheapest.

Honestly, they were so great to have around that I almost miss them now that they’re gone. They were incredibly polite, kind, and respectful, both to me and to my daughter. It’s rare to find a team that combines skill with that level of warmth and...

We hired the HomeDesign team to remodel our 9'x14' kitchen and could not be happier with the results. The scope of the project for which we hired them was: 1) consultation, 2) purchase of cabinetry and countertop, 3) installation. The cabinetry selection that HomeDesign carries is to-the-point and in-sync with current trends; their countertop selection is extensive. John was extremely knowledgeable and patient in going over the entire process with us. We appreciated that he understood our needs and did not try upselling us on everything.

As for the installation, we were extremely impressed that it took the HomeDesign team only 3 days to install our entire new kitchen! (To be clear, we did not change our floor plan and we did not move plumbing or appliances, but still, there is something to be said about that). When we initially heard that it was going to take them approximately 3-4 days to install, we estimated that it would take longer and worried that corners would be cut. That turned out to be furthest from the truth. His team is comprised of college educated guys who've been doing this for a long time - they work intelligently and efficiently. John dropped in on two of the three days to ensure that everything was running smoothly and to check in on his team.

For those who are curious, here is how our how our kitchen remodel process went from beginning to an end: we met John in his showroom, viewed cabinetry and countertop options, and obtained a rough estimate of the cost John came to our home and measured our kitchen we made our selection of cabinetry and countertop HomeDesign invoiced us for cabinetry upon invoice approval and payment, HomeDesign ordered our cabinets cabinets arrived within 10 days (at which point we scheduled our installation to occur within the next 2 week window) kitchen install day #1 = cabinets assembled and hung up in their preliminary positions kitchen install day #2 = cabinets hung up in final positions with drawers and doors, countertop measurements were taken for cutting, and all plumbing was hooked back up (!) kitchen install day #3 = hardware and countertop installed (!!) and miscellaneous details taken care of HomeDesign invoiced us for countertop and labor

To save money, we demolished and repainted our kitchen on our own. All in all, we were out of our kitchen for a total of only 7 days (!!!). It made a world of difference being parents to a very active 2 year-old who stays at home. Living without a kitchen is no joke and we are so glad that we entrusted the HomeDesign team with this project. They are SMART, FAST and EFFICIENT. Do not hesitate in hiring them - you will be...

We recently worked with Home Design to completely remodel our kitchen and highly recommend their work.

We found Home Design after researching reputable kitchen remodelers on several websites. When we first contacted them, John reached out promptly to set up a visit to our home for an initial consultation. During the consultation, he offered several ideas for how we could restructure and reorganize our outdated kitchen.

From there, we worked with Home Design to design a completely restructured kitchen area. It was a large project, requiring a full-scale demolition, entirely new cabinets and countertops, new appliances, new flooring, adding a gas line for a gas range, and electrical work. John and Marcus offered an initial design, and they were very responsive when we spent several weeks going back and forth adjusting the design, moving appliances, etc. They worked with us to craft a design we were very happy with and implemented our requested changes well throughout the design process. They offered a very competitive price that respected the original budget we discussed with them.

We started demolition on our old kitchen right as the COVID-19 pandemic was picking up steam in the Washington metro area, and after demolition was complete we asked Home Design to pause the project for several months because we were not comfortable having contractors in our home. John and team were supportive of this decision; over the next three months, they reached out periodically to see if our calculus had changed, offering ideas for safety measures we could implement, but never pressuring us to make a decision we were uncomfortable with. When Virginia moved to a phased reopening in June, we were excited to get back to work with them. It took their crew about three weeks to complete the project from there. We found overall communication before and during the project to be good. Our main contractor on-site, Eddy, was great at communicating what supplies we needed to provide and asking questions to make sure the work was exactly as we wanted it.

We absolutely love the final results. John and Marcus recommended a gorgeous line of white cabinets, and we chose a beautiful quartz from their showroom, which has a great selection. Their crew ably installed all the features of the kitchen: recessed lighting, pendant lighting, under-cabinet lighting, sink and faucet, appliances, and cabinet hardware. Overall, we highly recommend Home Design and are so thrilled with the results of our kitchen remodel. We look forward to working with them on...
