. As my home faces Rock Creek Park, any repairs required review and approval by an obscure federal entity - the arts commission. The commission, whose members meet once a month, was established in 1902 and must approve any repairs, etc. Failure to obtain commission approval results in fines, etc. Jarman handled all permits, required inspections, represented my interests before the commission, etc. The reconstruction process was delayed by the lengthy commission approval process - finally obtained in April 2015. Jarman's craftmen rebuilt my terrace roof, replaced the terrace support columns, flashing, repaired the damaged sections of my copper gutter and downspout, replaced the terrace ceiling, wiring, recessed lighting and electrical outlets repaired the damaged sections of my copper gutter and downspout and added an architectural feature required by the US Arts Commission. (The commission established in 1902, approves all construction projects on homes that face Rock Creek Park. They meet once a month and must approved all projects). Jarman staff repaired my front solid wood front door, replaced by front door hardware and replaced and re-keyed my locks. They made this process painless, kept me informed of all activities, represented my interests before the commission, secured the necessary building permits and inspections, and worked wit my insurance agent, etc.
Description of Work: In September 2014, a neighbor's fire damaged my terrace roof, townhouse roof, front copper gutters and downspouts, my front door and locks. I was referred to Jarman Co. by my State Farm insurance agent.

Jarman Company was excellent to work with, especially in the way they negotiated with State Farm to ensure all damages were covered adequately. About 1 year later I needed to contact them to verify information about products used. I got what I asked for quickly and felt good that they remembered exactly who I was and the work the did for me.

Description of Work: In September 2015, my next door neighbor had a fire that damaged my 1943 contemporary row house. These damages included: destruction of my wooden front door and locks, and terrace roof by the fireman, smoke damage to the terrace ceiling, burnt left terrace columns,partial removal of the terrace ceiling (fireman), melted top of copper downspout, destroyed copper gutters and gutter guards. My home is directly across from Rock Creek Park, so all repairs required DC building permits and the approval by he US Fine Arts Commission. | |Jarman was one of two contractors recommended by my insurer, State Farm. I checked Angie's list, before selecting them. The repairs were delayed due to the lengthy process to obtain approval from the commission and the extremely cold winter. Jarman Construction worked closely with my State Farm and provided detailed estimates of all costs. I met with their architect who presented the proposed renovation plan to the Arts Commission. The commission approved the design in late April. I returned from a business trip on May 7. While I was away Jarman staff had demolished the old terrace roof and framed a new one. They checked the electrical system on my terrace, found no damage and were able to use my existing recessed light fixtures, etc. They replaced my flat roof, which now has a higher pitch than the old one. They used copper flashing and added a barrier to protect my roof in the event that my neighbor has another fire. They also restored, at the commission's direction, some original features to the terrace. I was most impressed by their ability to repair my copper downspout and was delighted with my new gutter, gutter covers and flashing. The fireman had hacked up my wooden door , which was original to the house. Jarman examined the door and explained that it was repairable. They removed the damaged door section, inserted a new section, used wood putty to cover the seams, sanded, routed matching grooves, and installed new door hardware before painting the front door. They also replaced the metal framing that the fireman damaged. |Once the Fine Arts Commission approved my design, Jarman completed the entire project within 4 weeks. My home looks better than before, as the Arts Commission mandated that some original features be restored. For example, they pulled a 1994 picture of the house (I purchased it in 1998) and decided that the open lateral feature on the terrace roof must be restored - the previous owners had covered this feature). | |I enjoyed working with Jarman Construction staff and will definitely select them for future projects.

I used Jarman through my homeowner's insurance (State Farm) due to some water damage to my home. They were extremely professional and nice. I dealt with Anna in the office who arranged the appointments and made the entire process very simple. She was friendly and very responsive. Chris Jarman and Mike came to my home to explain the process/take measurements/etc. They were extremely knowledgeable. The work started soon after the initial appointment. They arranged for a lockbox so they could let themselves in and out so I wouldn't have to take much time off work. They were very respectful of my time. A gentleman named Antonio did much of the work and his work appeared to be very good. He always cleaned up after himself and did very clean work. I was quite pleased with the quality of his work. I was so pleased with their work, I requested them to do a few other things around my house. Their prices are very competitive. They gave good advice and were very trustworthy. I would definitely recommend Jarman to anybody.
Description of Work: I had a pipe freeze and burst in my basement. They did plumbing work, door installation, sink and vanity installation, drywall, and painting. I also had them replace a chimney cap and a gutter elbow for me.

The fact that Jarman managed all the sub-contractors was a great convenience to me because it meant I didn't have to make a lot of phone calls or take time off from work. Since the project took over two months, Jarman's support relieved me of a great deal of effort and stress. In addition, Jarman kept me informed about everything that was going on, and just generally made the whole ordeal as easy for me as possible.
Description of Work: Jarman Co provided project oversight for repairs due to water damage in my home. This was an insurance claim, so I don't know the final cost; State Farm paid the contractors directly. Jarman replaced dry wall and painted, and they managed repairs to the flooring and cabinets. They scheduled repairs and arranged to be at my home to admit the sub-contractors and to oversee the work.
