Testimonials
“C. Hughes Contractors are the best in the business! Seriously, you won't find a better combination of craftsmanship AND communication in the industry. Clayton and Christian are local, knowledgeable, easy to deal with and have fantastic ideas and problem solving ability. In construction, they say you shouldn't start a project unless you can see the finished product; and C. Hughes Contractors have the vision! I tell everyone this; someday when I build a house for my family, it will be C. Hughes who swings the hammer!”

“C Hughes Contractors just finished an addition on our Arlington home, nearly doubling the size of our 1941 colonial, and my wife and I could not be happier with the work that Clayton and Christian did. With so many horror stories about contractors, they were the exact opposite! Their organization and communication from beginning to end, quality of the work, attention to detail, design advice, reasonable cost, and their flexibility/care that allowed us to stay in the house throughout the process all contributed to the success of the project. The subcontractors they used were top drawer and very conscientious, as well. And if that weren't enough, Christian and Clayton are super nice guys, and finished the project early while staying on budget!! Highly recommend, no reservations whatsoever!”

“We just wrapped up our second renovation project with C Hughes and as expected were blown away by the end result. The final product was better than perfect, on budget and exceeded expectations. They are a must if you need to reimagine your home to fulfill its potential. We will be using them again for future projects for sure!”

“Christian and Clayton were wonderful to work with. They were extremely responsive and did incredible work. I especially appreciated how any time we hit a snag (not their fault, just an old house) they both met me on site to discuss options. We had both our kitchen and our basement gutted and redone, to include new flooring (LVP and hardwood), basement waterproofing, chimney repairs, and floor and wall repair/repaint/refinish throughout the house. Since completion of the project, they have also gotten back to me ASAP to address any questions or concerns I had. (For example, the first time we needed our heat this winter, our boiler wasn't kicking on. We had had C. Hughes remove two radiators in the spring, so I let them know the issue in case it was related. Both Clayton and Christian were at my house within a few hours checking it out. They reset the sensors, and it was working again by the evening. No problems since.) I would absolutely recommend C. Hughes Contractors and would hire them again in a heartbeat.”

“We have worked with C Hughes Construction on multiple jobs of medium to large scope. The experiences have all been outstanding. They actually are how you had always imagined that contractor should be! We refer them to neighbors and clients all the time.”

“What a great company to work with. Their attention to detail is one of the many things that set them apart from everyone else.”

“The C Hughes crew did an incredible job on our bathroom and kitchen renovation. They went above and beyond to communicate important details and ensure the end result was exactly what we wanted. They also suggested we add cabinets in an additional area of our kitchen that we had never considered in our initial plans—the end result is our favorite part of the kitchen now and their idea maximized our small space. They were very communicative regarding timelines and completed the projects within the estimated time window. I highly recommend hiring them for your home reno projects.”

“C. Hughes Contractors did an excellent job remodeling our entire home. We purchased our home in December 2020. Clayton provided a written estimate with very accurate labor and material costs. We began our renovation in February 2021 and they completed the work on time for our scheduled move in April 30, 2021. C. Hughes Contractors were very considerate and always on time. They kept the site very clean and safe while working. We had a complete renovation of the kitchen, two ensuite bathrooms and the basement. The whole house was repainted in the interior. All the floors were refinished and we added windows, ethernet throughout the house and moved walls and insulated and replaced drywall in several rooms. We highly recommend C. Hughes Contractors. We have another big project we hope to do and will definitely use C. Hughes Contractors in the future.”

“Christian and Clayton helped us to design an improved deck to replace the long serving original. It is 20 feet above ground and is a split level. The project took several weeks by a series of excellent workers with tge different required skills. The project resulted in a greatly improved facility and was finished on time and under budget. C Hughes is an excellent resource for Northern Virginia. This is the latest in a series of projects done very well. Highly recommended.”

“I have built and remodeled several homes myself but age is catching up with me so I used C Hughes Contractors to help with some aspects of my current project that were too much for me to handle alone. Owned by 2 brothers, Clayton and Christian, I dealt with both. They have become my go-to folks for any time I need some contracting services as I move along on my project. (I am completely gutting and remodeling a 1930s Sears Craftsman kit house with a couple of large additions as part of the project so this is not a small endeavor.) First, it was very nice dealing with a smaller business and the points of contact are the owners. They were responsive and personally visited my project to inspect the work each time I brought them in to help. Next, they oversaw the work of their crew and regularly checked up on them. And, most important, they do a top notch, high quality job. I am not a fan of contractors or projects that are simply””putting lipstick on a pig” projects. The unseen part of the process is just as important as the aesthetics . Our current home is 90 years old and anything I build or have anyone help me build must be done with the aim that it too will last 90+ years. Clayton, Christian and the crew at C Hughes Contractors does that without me hounding them about it. I price and quality shop everything we buy but if a catastrophe struck and I had to rebuild my house from scratch, I would have these guys do it. I hate writing reviews and rarely boast about folks I do business with because so many are looking out for their bottom line but Clayton and Christian seem to know that without quality workmanship at a price that’s fair will go a long way to keeping customers for years.”
