Remodeling Customer Testimonials

Home Breakthrough is one of the highest rated and most cost effective home renovation companies in the Washington, DC area. We frequently receive excellent reviews from our customers and were recently rated as a top remodeling contractor on Angies List. Time and again our work speaks for itself.

Here's what our clients say about our home renovation work:

"From the beginning, they listened to our wants and needs and worked as closely as possible with that. They were thorough, clean and neat. Worked with our schedules as much as possible to finish within the time they originally estimated. The only glitch was waiting for the ordered material to come. What was ordered was not delivered! And a very nice touch was the cleaning person who came when everything was finished to clean the house - almost as nice as the two finished bathrooms!"
Cindy, Olney, Maryland

"I have used many contractors. Home Breakthrough, as demonstrated by my ratings, was the best one I've ever used. Their service was outstanding and the end result is beautiful. They assisted me with the design as well as with the selection of the materials to use. I very much appreciated their careful attention to our budget. I have already recommended them to a friend and will continue to recommend them to anyone who asks. "
Marianne, Derwood, Maryland

"I have nothing but good to say about their whole staff. Leon, Francisco, Anya, Carlos and Kim answered every question and concern along the way. We spent a little more than we budgeted for as unexpected but necessary items had to be repaired. The finished product is exactly what we wanted."
Lyle, Potomac, Maryland

"As a Senior Citizen I deeply appreciated them. The timliness was wonderful, less time than I thought. The workers worked very hard and very polite!"
Althea, Silver Spring, Maryland

"I used Home Breakthrough to completely renovate the master bath in my home. My experience with Home Breakthrough was very good! The quality of work was outstanding and the price was great. I would definitely recommend them to others and hope to use them again in the future! Thanks Anya, Francisco, Roberto and Jorge!"
Reagan, Kensington, Maryland

"We are getting ready to sell our condo, and our real estate agent had advised us on re-doing the kitchen and bath prior to the sale. We got estimates from a number of companies. Home Breakthrough had a great price, and also came highly recommended by 3 different neighbors in the condo building. I know and trust my neighbors, and could see the work that they had done. I also knew that because Home Breakthrough had worked in my condo building, they understood the management company's requirements, the plumbing system, the small unit size, and the strange wall angles that are found in most units, making new cabinet construction a challenge. Although everything was delayed due to the huge snowstorm, Home Breakthrough began the work as soon as they safely could (a few days late), but worked overtime to finish as close to the estimated end date as possible. They also took care of and took responsibility for any problems, such as when one wrong-sized cabinet showed up. They ordered the new one and only charged me for the cabinet used, not for both. They lived up to their contract, even when it cost them money. Francisco, the designer, was very helpful and extremely accessible by e-mail and phone, since I was choosing the design, cabinets, countertop colors, and tile from afar - my home in Charlottesville. He was a wealth of information about quality, colors, and various options for accessories. He told me when something was necessary, in his opinion, and what items were not worth the money. Antonio supervised the work and made sure everything went as planned. Anna was timely and informative in her responses to my e-mails about pricing and quotes - the cabinet price quote even went down after I made my final selection! Because of the snow and the resulting lack of outdoor sidewalk space, the prep work (sawing, sanding, mixing, etc.) had to be done in the condo itself, creating a lot of dust. However, they sent a great cleaning staff to the condo after most work was done. They went above and beyond, washing each dish, utensil, and cup in the bathroom sink by hand since the kitchen sink wasn't hooked up yet. After hearing other people's horror stories, I can't believe the renovation went so smoothly. From actual start to finish, the whole process took only 2 weeks! One week was spent partially kitchenless while waiting for the granite counters to be cut and installed, but the unit had a completed bath, plus fridge, microwave, and stove during that time. The bathroom transformation is incredible - the tile work and painting is beautiful. The kitchen is also incredible - the cabinets look great, and provide more storage than I had before. They also moved a light fixture to accommodate a new cabinet door when we discovered that the door didn't fully open. I can't recommend Home Breakthrough more highly."
Elizabeth, Washingon, DC

"My first remodel. I had no idea what to expect. Francisco was so patient with me and walked me thru everything, from budgeting (including a spreadsheet) to selecting furnishings - even to instructions on accessing the light bulb in the fan. His crew was extremely conscientious, from installing plastic sheeting and covering the floors, to cleaning up daily and keeping me informed of their progress and schedule. The result was more than I could have imagined, and the process was quite painless. I highly recommend HomeBreakthrough, not only for their work, but also for their professionalism, concern for the customer, and pride in their craft. Thank you so much "
Martha, Montgomery Village, Maryland

"We live in a 22 year old townhouse and have two and a half bathrooms. We always take showers rather than baths so we wanted to replace the tub/shower in our master bathroom with a walk-in shower, leaving our other full bathroom with the lone tub in the house. We weren't comfortable doing this renovation on our own so we had three contractors (all on Angie's List) come and quote on the job. Our budget was pretty low and we were comfortable with two of the contractors' quotes but felt that Home Breakthrough's designer (Francisco) appeared more concerned with ensuring we got exactly what we wanted despite our constrained budget. Checking the references cinched the deal because everyone we contacted was thoroughly pleased with the job that Home Breakthrough had done on their bathrooms. The job took about two and a half weeks to complete, just as Francisco had estimated. This was during the worst of this winter's snowstorms, but the team made up for those lost days by working Saturday and Sunday. We are very pleased with the result. Francisco's design choices were excellent and the Home Breakthrough team has clearly benefited from their years of experience renovating bathrooms. The two-man team that completed the work took great care to ensure that the house was kept as clean as possible. Dust is always a problem on a job like this, but they completely sealed off the rest of the house from the work area with plastic sheeting taped to the walls, floors, and ceiling. The floors in the work area and the pathway to the front door, including the central staircase, was completely covered with hardboard to keep the area clean and free of damage. The work was very professionally done, with the floor tile perfectly aligned with the new vanity and the shower curb and every grout line having a consistent width. Home Breakthrough's attention to detail for every aspect of the work was excellent and very much appreciated. If you're thinking about renovating your bathroom, this company should be at the top of the list that you contact. "
Richard, Gaithersburg, Maryland

"I cannot say enough about how great it was to work with this company. Francisco and Anya came for the initial visit, listened to our ideas, had a number of suggestions for us to consider, showed us numerous photos on their laptop of their previous work and were extremely helpful throughout the design phase. They gave good feedback to some of our ideas and were respectful of our goal. They worked with us to keep the price down by letting us order some materials ourselves on the internet but also helped us work with their dealers, particularly for the tile. They spent numerous hours during the planning phase and we had a complete budget before we began work. They started on time, the main installer was a master craftsman, cleaned up every day before leaving, and did excellent work. And to top it off, they had a house cleaner come in when the job was completed to clean the entire house at no additional cost. We came in a little over budget because we choose more expensive tiles but otherwise we paid them exactly what they said it would cost. We got copies of all bills at the end so there was complete transparency and no mystery of where charges came from. We are extremely happy with our new bathroom and it has added great value to our home for future sale. If you are looking for a company that will work with your needs, deliver exactly what they promise and always have a smile and a laugh about whatever issue you raise, hire this one. "
Jay, Silver Spring, Maryland

"The workmanship was outstanding! I've never seen such high-quality work applied consistently throughout both bathrooms. The crew was careful about the rest of the house, and now that the job is done, I can't even imagine why we didn't do this years earlier. Well done, Home Breakthrough!"
Doug, Silver Spring, Maryland

"Home Breakthrough remodeled our master bathroom in Dec 08. We are VERY HAPPY with the end product. Francisco did a wonderful design work (he was very patient with my changes) & chose beautiful tiles, cabinet, countertop, hardwares. They gave us heads-up whenever unexpected issues came up & gave us different options to fix them. Because of the unexpected issues we had to fix, we went over the budget. But I'd rather do it the right way the first time so we wouldn't have to deal with the problems later. The crew was very courteous & cleaned up the place before they left each day. We had a wonderful working experience & highly recommend them."
Krista, Potomac, Maryland

"The experience from beginning to end was very seamless. We could not have had better people involved in completely redesigning both of our upstairs bathrooms. Leon was very courteous in his initial presentation and did not give us a "high pressure" sales pitch like a couple of other companies. And price was less than the competitors. Francisco was also an interact part of the process in helping us design our bathrooms. He went out shopping with us for several hours and gave us valuable advice on what and what was not best to invest in. Antonio and his crew were very diligent workers and worked both Saturdays and Sundays! It was incredible that both of our dream bathrooms were completed in exactly two weeks which was a few days ahead of projection. What was really impressive was that the work was thorough and they even patched up a couple of holes in our dining room ceiling where we had old leaks. No questions asked! Francisco and Anya have been there with us every step of the way eagerly addressing any questions we had. A grade 'A" operation. I have already recommended Home Breakthrough to a neighbor and a co-worker. We will definitely use them when we are ready to remodel our kitchen in a few years."
Conley, Gaithersburg, Maryland

"Home Breakthrough did a fantastic job remodeling our two bathrooms. The job was completed in less than one month, including completely gutting both bathrooms, installing insulation and drywall, completely replacing all plumbing and extensive tile work. Measures were taken to protect the floors from being damaged during the project by covering them with cardboard; plastic sheeting was hung to minimize dust. Francisco, the designer, shopped with us for fixtures and was extremely helpful to us in making decisions and keeping us informed as the project progressed. We highly recommend Home Breakthrough for any remodeling project."
Catharine, Bethesda, Maryland

"It was a pleasure to work with Home Breakthrough, LLC. They were knowledgeable and helpful on all aspects of the project (from shopping to design to installation) and worked with me to find suitable alternatives that were beautiful and cost-effective. I would recommend them highly and would work with them in the future on other home remodeling/improvement projects."
Robin, Rockville, Maryland

"Terrific from start to finish. Great ideas, design. I approached the project with uncertainty as I had never had a project this big. Very professional. I was most impressed by the workmanship of the kitchen remodel. Communication was ongoing. Thanks for everything!"
Brigid, Rockville, Maryland

"Due to this team's diligence and hard work our kitchen remodel project was completed in 3 weeks on time and all deadlines were met. This was over the Christmas holiday which was a great accomplishment. As a family we are totally satisfied. There is nothing we would change about our new kitchen. It really is the heart of our home now. I would definitely recommend Home Breakthough, LLC to anyone and would use them again for future projects. To sum of this project I would have to say 'The love is in the details.'"
Darryl, Gaithersburg, Maryland

"I cannot say enough about Francisco & his crew. They did a superb remodel of my kitchen. I was kept well informed throughout the project & his crew was knowledgeable and courteous. They worked around my schedule, sometimes working nights & weekends. Additionally, Francisco has an excellent eye for design. He even went shopping with me to choose & match materials. I would certainly hire Home Breakthrough for another project."
Tina & Eric Wong, Silver Spring, Maryland

"We were very fortunate to have Francisco work with us on our kitchen project. He was very considerate of our concerns and was very helpful and easygoing to work with. He worked within our budget and made us feel very comfortable working with him and his company. Home Breakthrough, LLC is certainly a diamond in the rough, especially in his industry. We will highly recommend him to others, and will always use him for other projects in the future. Francisco was like a trusted family member. Thanks to Francisco and his crew! We love our kitchen!"
Paul and Lourdes, Gaithersburg, Maryland

"My 25 year-old kitchen needed a major overhaul, but I was nervous as I knew nothing about construction, had a limited budget, and had heard lots of contractor horror stories. But Francisco, Antonio, and the Home Breakthrough team did a marvelous job. From finalizing my kitchen design, to helping me find the cabinets, countertops, flooring and appliances that met my design sense and budget, to dealing with old wiring and plumbing, working in a tight space, and meeting my timeline, Home Breakthrough made the process as painless as possible. The result was stunning, so much more than I could have ever hoped for. Their work is exquisite and they are very honest and easy to work with. In fact, I liked their work so much, I had them come back and do my bathroom. These are the guys you want working in your home."
Melissa, Washington, DC

"We had never done such an extensive renovation so were unprepared for the length, cost, and complete upheaval that happens during a renovation, however, ultimately we are very pleased and it could not have happened without a company as flexible and willing to work with us as Home Breakthrough. Thanks to them."
Moira, Silver Spring, Maryland

"This company's pride in their workmanship and attention to detail are unparalleled. From the beginning, I was impressed by Francisco's professionalism. He explained every step along the way, and kept me informed regularly of the construction challenges impacting the budget. He made extra trips with me to look at materials and was exceedingly patient and good-humored, always. I soon came to trust his judgment and design sense (which is top-notch in my book) implicitly. I cannot say enough how lucky I feel to have found Home Breakthrough! I would recommend them to everyone."
