Bryan Construction Group

Horrible! AVOID Bryan Construction Group! Terrible experience! Horrible experience with Bryan Construction Group (BCG) and Steve Stathis, CEO. Company DID NOT follow approved County plans! They didn't build chimney with proper tools, refused to correct the misplaced sump dump drain for 2 years, resulting in water pouring into the yard, destroying $1000's of landscaping. The stone chimney needs $8-10k in repair! We also had a patio and driveway that we not built according to the approved County plans! We have a 5 year BCG warranty on the home but Steve refuses to honor it or correct his huge mistakes. Due to BCG/Steve's negligence of not building to approved County plans, we were left with a formal Notice to Comply from the County for 4 major infractions! Daily fines can be $133,000 each day! We have both the BCG 5 year warranty AND a notarized letter from BCG/Steve assuming FULL responsibility for any Stormwater issues that may surface with our home. We have 4 infractions related to Stormwater non-compliance as Steve refused to honor the County approved building plans during construction. Steve strung us along for almost 2 years with written correspondence that he/BCG is totally responsible for ALL corrections and would absolutely honor the 5 year warranty and notarized letter. Yet, after dozens of correspondence where he states that he will correct all issues, NOTHING has happened. Steve had told us nothing but lies! Steve skipped Arlington and we are stuck paying for ALL his mistakes! He refuses to answer calls, email, certified mail or text messages. We paid BGC/Steve $975,000 for the builder's quality home that was constructed and another almost $500,000 in upgrades to the home, garage, patio, sidewalk and driveway. We have paid BCG close to $1.5M for our home and it has significant defects that require immediate correction. BCG warranty, BCG notarized letter assuming total responsibility and all of Steve's correspondence stating that the mistakes made were BCG's error and BCG is responsible for correcting each and everyone of them has ended up with NOTHING being done to correct the significant issues with our home. Bryan Construction Group and Steve Stathis have been dishonest, unethical and has left us with corrections costing $40,000-50,000 or more.... AVOID BCG/Steve Stathis at all costs! The experience with BCG/Steve Stathis has been the WORSE experience of my life!

Hired Bryan Construction to install a new roof. Within 1 year I had a leak, repair was a sealant. Within the next 2 years leaked in the same place. Contacted Steve Stathis, person I worked with on this project, he never returned my calls or texts. Would not recommend.

I am a neighbor to an Arlington property where Bryan is conducting work. The firm and its subcontractors have continuously trespassed onto my property, destroying large parts of my yard, and have left large amounts of hazardous demolition waste, human waste (sewage) from "port o potties" as well as general garbage in my yard. Bryan's subcontractors also left a large dumpster partially on my property.  The firm's management has been barely responsive and I have had to file complaints with multiple county authorities to pursue a solution. Use with caution.

We had a fantastic experience with Bryan Construction. They did such a great job building our porch and deck that we immediately hired them to do a big addition. They finished both projects on time and the work was great. Lovely people to work with.

LOVE OUR NEW HOUSE. We hired Bryan for a major renovation and addition to a 1949 Cape Cod. We generally knew what we wanted and the management and crew worked with us to realize our vision. The work was done on time and on budget (at a fraction of some other bids) and exceeded our expectations. There was a delay due to permitting as well as windows, but they pushed hard and got us in our house on time. There are so many items in a renovation timeline that can throw off a project from finalizing designs, permitting, inclement weather, and special orders.  Communication is the key so long as you know what is going on delays do not turn into frustration. We were not living in the house at the time but I dropped in frequently to check on progress. This allowed me to get to know much of the staff and I truly enjoyed my interactions. This was a big undertaking, issues with jobs like these are bound to occur, it is how they are resolved is the mark of a good contractor. We had no roof during the summer when we had some horrendous rains and although the house was properly tarped water did find its way in. A few exterior walls that were not originally slated for removal did get wet, Bryan removed the old drywall and wet insulation and repaired these at no extra cost. Other times, if I noted a concern or felt I saw an issue it was resolved. Amadeo (one of the owners and overall project manager) takes to heart homeowners desires and truly cares, during our frequent walkthroughs if he saw something he didn't like, he had it fixed, even when I didn't notice. The lead framer, Walter, always has a smile on his face, clearly loves his job and does great work. Their electrician Simion hands down the BEST electrician I have ever met.  Douglas leads the finishing work and takes pride in his work. Our walls are smooth and our paint perfect. What many do not think about though is... what happens when you get your keys and the house is yours? Houses settle, new construction will shift/settle over time or with that first heavy snow, screw-heads may pop and occasional corner beads too. This does not worry me. Bryan has a 5-year warranty on all their work. I have called them once already and the repairs were made the next day and I couldn't tell they were here. Bottom line, despite any small hiccups along the way we are 100% happy with our home, all who visit cannot believe the quality of the renovation, the open floor plan, the spacious rooms and the little design elements that really make our house great. I pushed for certain elements and they accommodated me and in the end, our house qualified for a Gold rating with Arlington's Green Home Choice program. When we are ready to add a screen porch, I will have them back!
