The History of Block Builders

Block Builders is a custom builder that specializes in the building of custom homes, whole house renovations and major additions. Block Builders was established in 1990, and is an active member of NARI (National Association of the Remodeling Industry) as well as NAHB (National Association of Home Builders). We have been honored with many annual local, regional and national awards for our projects. Our firm has been rated as one of the top remodeling firms in the country by Remodeling Magazine, a national publication for and about the industry.

President Anthony Paulos, a native Washingtonian, graduate of The Bullis School in Potomac, Maryland, and Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York, founded Block Builders in 1990. His involvement in the construction business began in 1983, and after working for other firms in the early years, he became convinced that the industry needed something different. Tony was determined to offer clients a first class level of service, integrity and reliability along with superior craftsmanship; thus breaking the mold of inconsistency and problems that still plague the industry. This desire led to his decision to found a new company that would provide an alternative to clients who are looking for a builder that truly embraces a higher standard, and will go "the extra mile" to ensure a consistently superior level of quality and service.

Block Builders is licensed and insured in Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia. Our firm has completed projects throughout the Washington, DC Metro area, including Bethesda, Chevy Chase, Kensington, Potomac, Falls Church, Arlington, Great Falls, Vienna, Capitol Hill, Cleveland Park, Palisades, as well as Baltimore and Annapolis.

Block Builders embraces a philosophy and commitment to excel in all aspects of construction. Every project that is undertaken reflects our dedication to superior craftsmanship. Our firm works with the top architectural firms and interior designers in the Metro area, and our goal is to create a total team approach to your project. Working alongside our clients and the architect, from initial design to final drawings, and on through construction, the team concept facilitates a smooth project from start to finish. Constant communication and exchange of ideas ensures that the client's needs are met, and that the finished home meets the highest standards.

Once the construction is underway, one of our project managers is assigned to the project full time until completion, along with a team of our expert craftsmen; this approach assures our clients of total quality control. In addition to the full time on site supervision, our production manager is working alongside to help guarantee our performance and schedule. Bi-weekly meetings and dependable ongoing communication with the client and the architect during the process helps to keep everyone completely informed and up to date on the progress of the project. Our efficient scheduling and attention to even the smallest details allows us to deliver the finished product in a timely fashion and within the promised deadline.
