Review by Corbin F. in Potomac, MD
Project: Remodel or Renovate One or More Rooms

Russ Glickman recently completed a whole house design and renovation for us. We had Russ' team design and build a large addition, an elevator, a master suite, a kitchen expansion and remodel and other renovations. Originally, I planned to get several estimates. Russ was the 2nd appointment. After meeting Russ, I knew he was the right professional for our project. Russ asked lots of questions, and not only understood our concerns, but he helped uncover our needs. His team was respectful of our property, they cleaned up well, the project was on time, on budget and of award winning quality. It is totally accessible but does not even appear to be

Review by Ron J. in Bethesda, MD
Project: Remodel to Accommodate a Disability

We wanted to stay in our home until they carry us out feet first! Therefore, we wanted to make our home fully wheelchair accessible; with a caveat…we did not want it to look at all wheelchair accessible! Russ Glickman was the perfect choice for this project. Russ has not only has 30+ years of award winning remodeling experience, but he also has personal experience with accessible remodeling. Russ has a son Mike with Cerebral Palsy who has lived at home and has been confined to a wheelchair for 23 years. If you are considering a accessible design/build you MUST talk with Russ! I highly recommend Glickman Design Build over and above all others!

Project: Build or Replace a Deck or Non-Masonry Porch

Great work on my deck! Sometimes a little slow communicate towards the end, but I would definitely use them for another project.

Review by a customer in Bethesda, MD
Project: Build or Replace Wheelchair Ramps

Russ Glickman had good ideas for building a wheelchair ramp , and in particular for how to get a few extra feet in it to reduce the pitch of the slope. The project was started over a holiday weekend and completed in time for my husband’s return home. Very pleased!
