Magic Contractors

I worked with Freddy and the rest of the Magic Contractors team on a whole house renovation in 2020. From the beginning, Freddy and his team were more than just a typical general contractor relationship. They walked through the plans we had from an architect and made suggestions on what types of projects would add the most value, helping me get the most out of my renovation budget. Once the work started the team was skilled and highly efficient, delivering an end product that delighted myself and the new homeowners that were soon to move in. The team strikes the right balance of improvising within pre-existing materials and budget and problem solving while also being very open to change orders and expansions of scope. Throughout the whole process the team was incredibly responsive, professional, and organized with both work and administrative tasks. It was an absolute joy to work with this team! Magic Contractors and Freddy will be the first person I call when I need a project done for my own house or for another renovation project - can't recommend them highly enough!

Magic Contractors worked with me in renovating an historic corner store in LeDroit Park. Superb team, excellent attention to structural issues, economical options, and professional quality. I highly recommend them!

At the suggestion of my son, a PM with Paul Davis Restoration and Remodeling in Gaithersburg, we used Magic Contractors for a flooring project in our kitchen. We spent months looking for the perfect tile that produced an authentic Tuscan Terracotta look. Once we found it, we wanted an excellent contractor to install it. Magic did an very professional job. The installation was quick, clean and looks great. The workers were courteous, careful with moving appliances and furnishings. I complimented their workmanship and told them it was a pleasure having them doing work in our home.

My husband and I have worked on various projects with Freddy Benavides of Magic Contractors since we first met him a year ago. He and his talented and hard-working staff helped us get our house ready for sale, and then helped us make our new house our home. The projects included repair work that ranged from rebuilding a screen porch, solving a basement water problem, repairing tile, even changing door knobs at our old (1897) historic house to work at our new (2001) house which included transforming an extra room into a beautiful library, adding a washer and dryer into a second floor closet, installing wainscoting to match existing, moving electric outlets, installing bedroom ceiling fans and light fixtures where there were none, and now they are converting an unused third bay of a garage into a studio space with a new wall of French doors and a fireplace. In other words, we have been exceedingly happy with the work that Freddy and his crew have done for us. We have happily recommended Magic Contractors to others, who now share our enthusiasm for their work. His prices are reasonable, his crew focused and careful, not to mention seemingly all-knowing at how to tackle any job that I have put in front of them, and...great with our three dogs and grandchildren. In the very few instances where there has been confusion, Freddy has made it good without a complaint ! I am a demanding client in terms of the quality of the work I expect and Magic Contractors have made me very happy.

This is a superb, experienced, energetic and very reasonable crew. They completed two difficult bath renovations in an historic house for me, one that required rebuilding sewage lines that had become unusable. They also renovated a kitchen and my entire second floor flat, and constructed a very contemporary chamber in a downstairs loft space whose aesthetics have received many compliments. They were recommended by a friend in LeDroit Park after a beautiful renovation of his entire home. I recommend them without reservations for any kind of work, ranging from 1 day handi-man assistance to a full scale, high end architectural reconstruction. In addition, they provided the lowest bids on all jobs, and were never over budget or behind schedule, in spite of a number of changes that occurred as the projects evolved. You will not be sorry if you choose them for your job.

I have hired Magic Contractors on multiple occasions to do both small and large projects, including gutting and redoing two bathrooms, skimming off textured/popcorn ceiling on whole level of house, and extensive painting of multiple rooms and doors. Magic Contractors is very professional, capable, and responsive. They are also very accommodating and informative, making recommendations based on what will be most cost-effective for the customer. I will continue to use Magic Contractors and highly recommend them to all my friends that mention they are considering doing work to their homes.

Very professional, knowledgeable, and did great work. Did subfloor work on a home addition, including insulation, paint, and caulk. Demo, and trash removal was part of the job. Cleaned up the job site when finished, and stayed as late as needed to complete the work.

Magic Contractors went above and beyond what was outlined in our contract. Even before they began work they were careful to go over every detail, double-check the scope of work, make sure we had thought of all the different aspects and answer all questions. The crew showed up on time, prepared the job site, went over the day's work with me and took extra care to think about how the work affected our logistics (dog, getting in and out of house, what might or might not be affected . . . ). Their work was superior and it's extremely clear they care deeply about their quality and the customer's satisfaction. Magic met all deadlines, stayed in budget and did a few odds and ends that were not specified in the contract. I would not hesitate to hire them again or recommend them to anyone. We have had work done before and I can honestly say Magic's work compares favorably to any other contractors in the area. They are wonderful!
