Bethesda Builders Ltd.

We bought a house BB were building on spec in 1999, which we were able to convert into our custom home while making finish selections by fax from London UK!! It took grace and patience on all sides but the result was a joy. I did not hesitate seven years later to hire Karren and Mark again when it came time to realise my dream two level ipe and cedar wrap around deck with spiral staircase. It continues to be our daily favourite hang out spot. Last fall, children out of the nest, it was time to convert our upper level to a studio, with a reconfigured roof, tuck a glamorous bathroom in the eaves and to expand the master suite and bath into a light-filled sanctuary. Bethesda Builders use top notch craftsmen, supervise and coordinate meticulously, and are transparent about provenance and quality of materials. With their intelligent suggestions and helpful guidance, we got everything we wanted. Yet again. Bravo! ( Final inspection, passed, the day before the Covid-19 shutdown. It also helps to be a little lucky.)

Bethesda Builders, under the leadership of Mr Mark Leas, built my first home and fully renovated my second. He and his team were professional; on time; courteous and respectful; had fair prices; and were upfront and honest about project costs and time completion. I highly recommend his company to either build you a home to your specs or renovate your home to the way you would like it set up. He is familiar with the most modern equipment and his entire team is always very well trained. I have not met or worked with a better man in the personal home construction industry.

Bethesda Builders’ design, attention to detail and quality of work is what attracted us to this house. After purchasing the house, they continued to be attentive and responsive to any questions or needs we may have had. We highly recommend Bethesda Builders!

Bethesda Builders is top notch. They are driven by quality and design. The husband and wife team of Karren and Mark provide exceptional attention to detail and unique creativity as well as an in depth knowledge of the construction process due to loads of experience. They are thoughtful and conscientious and are wonderful at problem-solving. I would highly recommend Bethesda Builders.

We have staged three properties for Bethesda Builders over the past two years. What a pleasure to work in spaces that are so thoughtfully designed--exceptional tile work, gorgeous light fixtures and top-of-the-line bath and kitchen fixtures and appliances. The craftsmanship and attention to detail is superior. We love working with Bethesda Builders. They understand the staging process, have a great team who are friendly and helpful and most of all, appreciate the collaborative effort in bringing the best product forward for their clients.

Our experience with Bethesda Builders was positive in all respects. The project was four custom designed built-ins involving shelving and cabinets. A particular challenge was that the built-ins had to conceal large and unsightly heating/air-conditioning units and thus had to have removable panels for easy access. The resulting design was clever and practical (e.g., a removable air vent which neatly sits within a larger panel, which is in turn removable), and reflected our intended style (a modern look with clean lines). The project was completed on time and on budget. The staff (the owners of Bethesda Builders) were creative about problems, responsive, efficient and very knowledgable. The carpenter and his assistant, who had to adjust and fine tune the measurements on site to fit uneven walls and floors, were respectful, tidy and punctual. My husband and I are very happy with the finished project and feel our money was well spent. We would hire this firm again without hesitation.

Screened in an existing porch. Put in new floor, fixed columns, added lights and a fan. Reworked old door to be the new porch doors. Installed custom made railing and screening.

We bought a spec house that Bethesda Builders had built in May of 2014 and we love it. The house is beautiful, well built, many, many upgrades and the attention to detail is fantastic. The house was entered into Maryland Builders Industry Association Annual Custom Builder Awards event and the house won the Gold award! Any questions we have had they answer right away and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Complete renovation; elevator installation; bathrooms; hardwood floors; marble floors; electrical; kitchens; landscaping; fish pond. Precise and timely work by polite craftsmen. The perfectionism exceeded our demanding expectations.

We could not have been more delighted with the renovation done in our home by Bethesda Builders. Their attention to detail at every stage of the job was matched by their ability to see how each detail fit into the project as a whole. They offered excellent suggestions that we had not considered and provided esthetically lovely features in their work. Gerry was a warm and welcoming fixture on site and treated every step of the work on our house as if it were his own. The trades people were outstanding and Gerry and Reuben coordinated their work beautifully. Reuben's work on cabinets and any number of other aspects of the project was exceptional. His presence, too, was a tremendous asset to making the project a success and we appreciate his kindness and Gerry's. We are grateful for their expertise as well as their good will. Mark and Karren were very prompt in replying to phone calls and email and clearly cared about this project and our satisfaction.

Bethesda Builders did an extensive renovation of our contemporary house. Mark, Karren, and Gerry handled every issue that came up during the renovation professionally and quickly. The job was finished on time and very close to the budgeted amount, and the workmanship and attention to detail was great. We and our architect laid out the bathrooms very carefully to fit within the original footprint of the house, and not many builders could have completed this project successfully. We definitely hope to work with Bethesda Builders again.

They did a great job with our historic renovation which was a major construction project. We had no issues at all and the quality of the work is outstanding. This was a very difficult project that required significant innovation. I would recommend them without hesitation.
