I just want to thank everyone at Monumental who was part of this project, including those who have moved on and those who work behind the scenes to make this happen. In a couple of days I’ll proudly welcome my first overnight guest into this beautiful space. My project was a merger of two adjacent condos. From the sales reps first visit and his return a week later with the designer, I knew Monumental would be a fantastic fit. Throughout the 11 month wait for DC permit approval and the 3 months of actual work, I have been very satisfied with everyone’s professionalism and willingness to collaborate throughout the process. I am grateful to Adriana, Julio, Marlon, Sergio, Edwin and even, to me, for giving each other the grace and patience a project like this needs. The abided by all of the agreements we put in place to minimize the impact on my neighbors and for communicating so I knew what to expect along the way. The project wasn’t nearly as disruptive as I imagined and I’m so glad that I was able to remain in the building to help make decisions and avoid unnecessary delay. During the few times when things didn’t go according to plan, I always felt like we were on the same team, looking for creative solutions, and that you were invested in my happiness with the outcome. This was also lovely because I got to know everyone. I loved my home before, but I love it twice as much now. Gilbert, I will confidently pass on referrals for big projects and will start saving for my own kitchen and bathroom remodels. Don’t worry, that will take me quite a while.

The Monumental team is outstanding. Their designers and craftsmen together planned and implemented a renovation that exceeded my (high) expectations. They were prompt and polite, and kept me imformed of their progress. Highly recommended!

I wish to extol the virtues of Monumental Contractors and Marlon Reyes, especially. Before the pandemic, I met Marlon and his team through another excellent outfit in Washington, DC. The team initially came to my home to assist with remodeling my kitchen – however, by the time I was done meeting with Marlon and his group, I was convinced that I wanted to work with them. Monumental Contractors are a class-act outfit. They are first and foremost, honest, reliable, dependable, responsible, and out of the ordinary, in the sense that their drive for excellence, shepherded by their leadership, Marlon R., is incredibly rare. If you are looking for a safe pair of hands to shepherd your project from soup to nuts without gimmicks, unnecessary delays, and overall satisfaction without any headaches, this is the place to go to. As a practicing attorney and someone who pays very close attention to detail, Monumental Contractors exceeded my expectations then, and each time, I go back to them for small jobs, additional renovations for new projects and referrals to my network of friends. It’s an absolute pleasure to write this review, by the way. FIVE STARS all around for Marlon and Monumental Contractors.

Worked with Monumental doing a full teardown and renovation of our condo. They were a joy to work with! Every detail was done with professionalism and as always happens with remodeling instead of new construction a few details came up. Marlon’s answer was always “Don’t worry we’ll make that perfect” and he did. He had creative ideas, no doubt based on his extensive experience, and always came up with a great solution. Great job! recommend them without any reservations.

Monumental and their team is the gold standard of home renovation partnership. We’ve worked with them on our house for 4 years on different projects and have never felt the need to look for an alternative. Professional, responsive and very knowledgeable, they’ve proven time and again that their reputation of being one of the top contractors in Washington DC. is earned.

We recently worked with Monumental Contractors on a restoration project after our neighbor’s tree fell on our roof. From day one of our first meeting to the last day of the project we had an absolutely great experience. Gilbert carefully listened to our needs, was transparent on what to expect and made us feel confident throughout the journey with his timely responses and follow ups. The project team led by Edwin came every day, on time (including weekends) and with smiles on their faces. Flawless project management and attention was given to how best to restore our home. We strongly recommend this company for any prospective client. You will be in good hands. Thank you.

I was blown away by my experience working with Monumental. I have high expectations, and they exceeded them, which is hard to do. From the very first meeting, I was impressed — Gilbert set a specific time to come by (not a window), sent a meeting invitation, confirmed, and then came at exactly that time!! It was a level of professionalism and respectfulness that I have not typically encountered when dealing with any contractors or home repairs. The communication was excellent throughout the process, including specifics of budget, any changes to the project, timelines, and what to expect during construction. It gave me such peace of mind, especially since I have small kids and we were staying in the home during the work. For communication and responsiveness alone, I would highly highly recommend, but amazingly Monumental also does extremely high quality work at a competitive price. We had two major phases of work with them. For each, we had multiple bids, and their pricing was competitive. We are very happy with the finished product. Monumental took extra care with the details, making sure everything was perfect and we were absolutely satisfied. Monumental has a skilled team, and they were knowledgeable about a wide range of things (handling water damage including some structural damage, ensuring appropriate window and door sealing, ordering custom doors, cabinetry work, etc.) Honestly, still not sure these guys are real! They are definitely going to be my go-to contractors for as long as I live in the area. Book them if you can get them!!!

Monumental was a great group to work with! We were half way through a project that included an addition and kitchen renovation with another contractor that had serious quality and timeline issues. Monumental was extremely accommodating to step in and put in the extra effort to take on a project half way through from another contractor, which is not something you will likely find most contractors willing to do. It spoke to the kind of group this was. They assessed the current situation, laid out an action plan for repairs required to previous work completed, and delivered a great finished product. Any large project will have its road bumps, but Monumental really showed as a customer first group that was proactive in their approach and had a broad range of experience to handle any unforeseen issue quickly. We are so happy with our new space and the fact we switched to Monumental! Much appreciate the efforts of everyone on the team.

Monumental was a dream team for our family to work with during the pandemic. We remodeled our row home with them including the back addition, kitchen, bathrooms and main systems throughout the home. We loved partnering with Gilbert, Marlon, Alex and the team to complete our project. We highly recommend their team for the partnership, communication, and end result of the work.

ALL construction projects will have difficult moments. I’ve learned to judge a contractor by how they behave when these sticky situations arise. In this regard, my experience with Monumental was very positive. I worked with them on a project that had both a tight deadline, and also, a very demanding client. Monumental handled themselves professionally throughout the process staying solution focused, organized, and communicative every step of the way. I look forward to working with them again.
