Growing up, each brother served as a woodworking apprentice, beginning with sweep-up duty, then stacking wood, inspecting parts, machining rough lumber, and assembling cabinetry, finally working their way up to product design.

Four Brothers designed and undertook a major renovation of our home, which included kitchen replacement, master bathroom expansion, master closet installation, attic renovation to install full bath and guest suite, and install front portico. We are very pleased with the entire experience and outcome, starting with the architect Kate, the project supervisor Kent, and the site manager and chief carpenter/builder James. A great team to work with, highly professional, talented and responsive. As in any project of such a magnitude, unforeseen problems are unavoidable. When they did occur, they were

We consulted with several design build firms in the fall of 2020 to build an outdoor living space for us. We chose Four Brothers based off of their reviews and portfolio; now that our project is complete, we are 100% confident that we made the right decision. From the moment our project began, we knew we were in the best of hands. We met with our architect (Kate) and designer (Nicole) several times to provide them with a sense of what we wanted. They instantly grasped our vision and were able to provide invaluable feedback and suggestions. Kate was insanely efficient at getting us through the oftentimes

I called Four Brothers for an estimate for my condo kitchen, I was told that they would call me back after talking to their sales person. I didn’t get a call back, but a email basically saying they won’t do the job because it’s not over a 100k and my kitchen sounds like it’s too small of a job for them to work with. Mind you they never even came out to my condo to see the job to make that assumption in the first place. I’ve noticed that where I live dictates who will actually come out in service me, regardless of how much it’s going to payout.

Four Brothers renovated my very small bathroom in a condo. They took it down to the studs, gutted it in one day and delivered the project on time with beautiful craftsmanship. They do great work, they're honest, and delightful to work with. They suggested a charming detail for what was going to be plain white subway tile and I love it. It makes me happy. Four Brothers is a high quality operation with tremendous integrity. You won't be disappointed if you work with them. I've recommended them to friends and neighbors and they have been delighted with them.

We worked with Four Brothers on two projects and are very happy with the results. We hired them to renovate the kitchen in our Capital Hill row house after seeing the work they did for a friend. From the first visit to get an estimate through the final walk-through, our experience with Four Brothers was wonderful. A few years later, we hired them again for a full basement renovation.
The Four Brothers team helped us with all aspects of our jobs, including the design. They delivered a finished kitchen that was just what we wanted - a modern kitchen with a historic appeal. The basement was transformed

I have used Four Brothers for complete remodels of two bathroom (a few years apart) and find them wonderful to work with. Their attention to detail, high quality workmanship, and creativity are tops. We have worked with many contractors and design build firms over the years, and our experience with Four Brothers stands out. It is a family run business. Ben, Alfred and Kent are very professional and incredibly nice. Highly recommend!

Four Brothers did an outstanding job on our kitchen and bath renovation. Our design consultant, Kristin, really listened to what we wanted, had great ideas that were consistent with the overall design of the house, and was responsive to our budget. Our construction supervisor, Mike, paid attention to every detail and kept the work flowing smoothly. The man who did the color-matching for the floor was really talented! Everyone was courteous, on time, and on schedule. Altogether, an excellent experience. I'd recommend them to anyone.

Four Brothers, LLC thoughtfully redesigned and skillfully performed a total renovation of our 1300 square foot condo in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood of DC. And they did it while we were absent; living and working in Africa. We followed their lead as they represented us getting building permits from the DC government. As 4 Brothers developed floorplans we received clear drawings and options to choose from via Internet and worked with them to fine tune the plan. As it came time to select materials we had a few preferences that 4 Brothers acted upon and in other cases, 4 Brothers provided us good

We recently finished a kitchen renovation project with Four Brothers, and we absolutely love our new space. Our team was incredible from start to finish. The designer really was able to incorporate all the features we wanted into our small galley kitchen (and we asked for a lot!). And our project manager and carpenters were awesome, working with us through every little detail (with plenty of patience and accommodation!). The communication was great, too--someone always got back to us, and our team leader was easily accessible. We also took comfort in knowing that someone from the team (not just
