Sampler Howard Crpntr

Since our last review, Howard has done several projects for us. He’s the best!

I met Howard Sampler at Eastern Market where he gave me his card and showed me a slide show of work he has done around Capitol Hill. Howard just happened to be standing next to me talking about a construction project, and we struck up a conversation. He was surveying my property 24 hours later!
I then got a quote from Howard that was VERY competitive. Having seen his work around the Hill, and having met Howard, I was very impressed with him and his honesty. I would strongly recommend anyone work with Howard for at least the following: framing, bathrooms, cabinets, custom woodworking, windows. Basically, I’m not sure there is anything Howard can’t do. That he is such a nice guy makes it even better. I would totally grab a beer or lunch with Howard anytime – he has the best stories and is extremely knowledgeable because of his work all over the Hill.
Within 5 days of Howard providing an estimate (which he provided the same day), we had to vacate our property (we were subleasing from another company that was purchased, the new company terminated our sublease). As a result, we were not able to actually work with Howard past the bid phase of the project, an office buildout.
However, I can tell you that I will actively seek out Howard in the future to build out our new space once we get settled. I received about 6 bids on the project I had and ONLY Howard was reasonable. I also have full faith that he would do the work well. It’s truly special to find a contractor who you can trust.
