Zimmermann Homes

Zimmermann Homes recently completed a multi-generational home for our family, and we were extremely satisfied with the experience! What sets Zimmermann Homes apart from other builders in the area is the company's commitment to integrity, creativity, and exceptional attention to detail. That dedication starts at the top with owner Rob Zimmermann, who is highly involved throughout the process and makes sure no detail—no matter how small—is overlooked. That same level of excellence extends throughout the entire Zimmermann Homes team. At every stage, the process felt collaborative, with everyone focused on achieving the best possible result, rather than simply executing plans. Our project manager, Shawn, consistently went above and beyond and was a pleasure to work with. We were also impressed by Michelle (operations manager), CS Design Studio (design team), and Darren (architect), all of whom played an important role in the success of the project. We highly recommend Zimmermann Homes to anyone considering building a custom home!

Working with Zimmermann Homes to build our new home was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Their team was professional, organized, communicative, and truly listened to our vision. The quality of the craftsmanship and attention to detail is outstanding, and the process was smooth and transparent throughout. There were countless conversations where the team steered us in the direction that fit our budget. We absolutely love our new home and highly recommend Zimmermann to anyone building from the ground up!

Our experience with Zimmermann Homes was excellent from start to finish. Rob and his team demonstrated excellent customer service, consistent responsiveness, and dedication to make the custom home build process as seamless as possible. Budget estimates were accurate and they beat the schedule so we could be in our home ahead of the projected completion date. It was a great experience working with them and we love our home. I highly recommend Zimmermann Homes if are thinking about designing and building a new home.

Zimmermann Homes built our custom home and we could not have asked for a better builder. After interviewing several builders, Rob and the team at Zimmermann Homes immediately stood out to us. Rob and his team are incredibly thorough and transparent throughout the entire process. Their attention to detail was outstanding. They walk clients through every detail and are incredibly hands-on throughout the entire process. No detail is too small (they even measured my height before installing the mailbox!) and nothing is overlooked. Rob made the build process seamless and smooth. We absolutely love our house and couldn't be happier! Rob and his entire team are all absolutely fantastic to work with!

We recently completed our build process with Zimmermann Homes and we love our new house! Well done Zimmermann Homes and thanks so much for the hard work to build us a beautiful and unique home for our family! We met the owner Rob at one of his open houses and less than 2 weeks later he sent us the address of a great off market lot (we had been looking for a lot with our realtor and other builders for ~8 months). Rob guided us through the process to purchase the lot and then we started the design and build process with the Zimmermann team. About 18 months from the purchase of our lot, we moved into our beautiful new home! The design process with Rob's architect took 4-5 months (this took much longer than typical due to our unique design), about 5 months in the permitting process with Arlington County and then around 8 months to build our house. This timeline was a little longer than their typical build b/c we partnered with non-profit Second Chance to deconstruct the house (which we highly recommend as they recycle and reuse the materials of the home you're knocking down and it supports a good non-profit) and we were also hit with 2 snow storms which delayed the permitting process. Our construction manager Jim was excellent throughout the process and the owner Rob was very involved and always available if needed. They both helped us throughout the process by guiding us in the decision making process (you'll be making an insane amount of decisions throughout the design and build process). The quality of our home really is excellent and now that we've been living in the house a few months, I can confidently say that the home is extremely energy efficient. The process of building a home is not a perfect one, but ultimately you want to partner with a builder who you can trust and who will deliver a high quality home at a fair value. That's exactly what we got with the Zimmermann team. Also, they truly allowed us to build a custom home from the ground up versus some local builders calling it a "custom home" but you're really just choosing your finishes (e.g. tile, countertops, etc). I regularly meet people who have built with other builders and I can confidently say that our experience was so much better than other local builders!
