Malcolm and his team are Ridgeline are the best contractors we have ever worked with period. In late May of 2024 we had a severe water leak that damaged our primary bathroom, kitchen, laundry room (basement) and basement bathroom. To be blunt - our insurance tried to low ball us on damages. Malcolm personally handled our insurance claim....

My first time using this company. They were polite and professional and flexible to send their tech out very soon after my request. I appreciate their tech's ability to quickly diagnose and address our concerns related to a residential house structure and air flow. This is a great company when you can't figure out who to call for unusual residential issues. Hope to work with them again. Thanks!

Malcolm, Jessy, Tony, and the whole Ridgeline team were great! We had a very challenging design for an entire bathroom remodel, and they provided great feedback and were able to roll with it when the design failed to account for practical use. They were very quick to respond when problems inevitably arose, and made sure that everything was working exactly the way we wanted....

Ridgeline did an amazing job on our HOA project. Not only did the crew perform great work, but everyone was timely, and considerate. Malcolm communicated every day and was proactive in managing the project. He reviewed all work, stopped by daily for updates, revised the punch list as needed, redid work as necessary and left a thoroughly finished product. This was one of the easiest renovation projects to manage. Would definitely use Ridgeline again.

Malcolm and crew did an excellent job with a laundry room installation. Scheduling was a breeze and the work was completed in a timely manner. Everything was left spotless after it was finished. Highly recommended.

The Ridgeline team did an amazing job bringing my project to life. I had a boring room from the 70s that needed a facelift. The team helped me redesign the room around the fireplace by adding in built in shelving which was complemented by millwork, crown molding, shoe flooring, and a fresh coat of paint. I couldn’t be happier with the new modern look!! Can’t wait to hosts guests in my new room. Thank you guys!

Malcolm and his crew did an incredible job fixing an emergency ceiling repair at my home. I had received his contact information as a reference from a friend who was highly satisfied with his work in their home.

He went above and beyond to ensure the work was completed in two days, just hours before my family arrived.

I used Ridgeline to repurpose an old dining room into a living room. These guys were amazing. They built me a custom cabinet for a built in TV to redesign the room lay out. The custom woodwork was unmatched to anything else I've done at my house. The work was done quickly and at a good value. Ridgeline ensured I was 100% satisfied. I couldn't ask for more.

Constructing a custom home is an intricate process requiring specialized knowledge, meticulous attention, and comprehensive management. An experienced contractor ensures your home is built precisely, efficiently, and according to your vision, timeline, and quality standards. From handling local building regulations and permits to coordinating skilled professionals and adhering to deadlines, a reputable contractor keeps your project running smoothly. Hiring a knowledgeable expert helps prevent costly errors, reduces stress, and guarantees your custom-built home achieves all your expectations in both design and functionality.
The custom home construction process involves numerous regulatory requirements, including zoning restrictions, building codes, and mandatory permits. In Reston, these requirements can be particularly intricate because of specialized local rules and the area’s distinctive community standards. A skilled contractor has the expertise necessary to efficiently manage permit applications and regulatory compliance. Their thorough understanding ensures all permits are acquired promptly, keeping your construction project fully compliant and eliminating potential delays.
Building a custom home requires seamless collaboration among many specialized trades, including electricians, carpenters, plumbers, and others. The contractor supervises and coordinates these professionals, ensuring efficient teamwork and adherence to schedules. By carefully managing each phase of construction, they prevent misunderstandings, delays, and disruptions. Through precise coordination, contractors ensure each trade meets high-quality standards, resulting in your home being completed on schedule, to your exact specifications, and without complications.
Professional contractors have strong relationships with reputable suppliers and access to premium materials essential for constructing a durable and high-quality custom home. They ensure that every aspect—from foundations to finishing touches—meets rigorous quality standards. Their team of experienced craftsmen pay close attention to detail, whether installing high-end cabinetry, selecting luxurious flooring, or choosing elegant fixtures.
