Throughout the process, we spoke to a half dozen design/build/contractors, and no one was more straight forward than Chad.

He was also sensitive to our budget constraints in helping us scope out our project. I would recommend him to anyone. More...

My wife and I bought a small, old Arlington constructed in the 1920s in the Woodmont area of Arlington. After four years, we decided it was time to renovate and the project was extensive. And without a doubt, the right construction management firm to do the job was Alair Homes Arlington (formerly Arlington Construction Management), owned by Chad Hackmann). We worked directly with Chad and his team to turn our architect's drawings of our dream home into reality. Chad scoped out our project, worked with us on the budget based on the drawings and after receiving our permits he and his project management team got to work. We worked together to choose subs who would work on the various phases, pick materials and move the project forward. Chad and his project management team were professional, thorough and detailed oriented. We started in July 2016 and we moved back into our house in May 2017. Alair supported us throughout the process and even after the project was completed. We are very pleased with the final results. More...

Chad was the fifth contractor we met with to discuss implementing our previously created design plans. Many just walked away knowing that someone else created the designs, we already found our appliances and made other project decisions on our own, but Chad's "we do as much or as little as you want us to" motto matched our needs. He finished up our design plans, took us through all the steps, helped us refine our budget, and referred great companies for materials. His subs were good to work with, especially Mariano the electrician! I would have preferred more detailed project management on budget and schedule to reduce some of our stress along the way, but in the end our project was completed on time and on budget and we couldn't be happier with the final results!

Chad is a true professional. His work ethic is reliable, trustworthy and expedient.

With our new home project, Chad understood our angles and was always able to satisfy our needs. When any problems arose, he calmly proceeded to diagnose and fix it the right way. These are times where I've seen other contractors try to back away from their responsibilities or make excuses. Chad just made it right, often times, going out of his way to do it.

We are very happy with the experience at every stage from planning to construction to punch list follow-up. More...

I always hear the nicest things about Chad from his clients - his vast experience, attention to detail, workmanship and clear & transparent pricing structure (you can use Chad's subcontractors or select & buy on your own) are among the most commonly given compliments. He always provides all the info needed for accurate pricing and coordinates well ahead of time for all his clients' measurements and installations... it's truly a breeze working with ACM on their projects. I know all his projects go well until the very finish - a client of his returned to the showroom a couple of months after we installed the countertops just to give me a hug and show me some pictures of the finished kitchen. She was that THRILLED. I've heard amazing feedback frommany of his clients, and many of the clients I meet have worked on a project with Chad before and decided to hire his company again. More...

We hired ACM to completely rennovate our 1930s kitchen and expand it into an enclosed porch area, knocking down several walls, building extra storage, and replacing both the front and back doors of the house. ACM did a great job of updating the cabinets, flooring, counters, appliances, plumbing, and wiring. The project was particularly challenging because of the house's age and previous rennovations (circa 1935) that caused the floors between the original kitchen and the enclosed porch to be completely different levels; we also needed to have a special built-in storage area for a washer/dryer set, which, given space constraints, required some "out of the box" thinking. They were even able to help us find a way to keep a couple of the house's original built-in cabinets so that they look great with the new cabinets.
Overall, our rennovation project with ACM went very well. Chad managed the project and was always available to answer questions, give recommendations, and make sure things were going smoothly. Doing any major rennovation on an old house is bound to turn up unexpected issues, but Chad was great and made sure all of the "issues" our old home had were fixed and that the final product was fantastic. He was never pushy about working with particular people/subcontractors, but when we needed help or advice he recommended great people to provide the things we needed - e.g. cabinets, countertops, etc. We are very pleased with the end result!

Chad Hackman of Arlington Construction Management built the home we recently moved into in December 2015. He did a tremendous job designing and building the house. In a sea of craftsman-like houses and layouts that are very similar, Chad and his team designed a thoughtful, livable, creative floor plan that is unique and fun in all the right ways. The design conveys a sense of warmth and openness and his integration of livable outdoor space is fantastic. We feel extremely fortunate to have this house and design - from the foundation to the details, Chad and his team made excellent and high quality decisions and choices.

Even more important, as with any new house, we have discovered some "punch list" items to resolve. Chad and his team have been extremely professional, responsive, and punctual in addressing every issue. They are conscientious in following up with us and ensuring the work is done to our satisfaction -- which is unusual in this industry.

At the end of the day, it makes all the difference in the world to work with a professional and someone who is a good person, whose priority is doing the right thing and making sure his client is more than satisfied.

We highly recommend Chad and his team. More...

I can't say enough wonderful things about Chad and Arlington Construction Management! We had a leak in our roof that no one could seem to fix. Roofers said it was a roof problem. Masons said it was a chimney problem. But nobody fixed it correctly. Finally, a home inspector told us to call a builder. Really? A builder? How many builders would be willing to take on such a small project (small for them, but had been a huge headache for us)? I called Chad at Arlington Construction Management because his company was located nearby. Out of the kindness of his heart he took on this silly (to him, I'm sure) project. He was knowledgeable, patient, and informative... and of course he figured out what was wrong, got it fixed, and had the interior repairs done too. Along the way, he generously answered other random questions we had about our house. If we were to build a home or addition, Chad is the ONLY person we would consider working with.
