Winthorpe Design & Build

Specialties

We are a custom design builder of additions, home renovations, and custom homes. The most important aspect of our business is exceeding our client’s expectations while building exceptional quality into every project, which in turn, builds a client base that we work with again & again. Nearly all builders claim to be custom builders but «customizing» options may be limited to choosing between two types of cabinets and three flooring options. Winthorpe is able to design & draw plans, work with challenging existing conditions, and your specific tastes to pull together a well-​conceived, aesthetically pleasing, and lifestyle functional result. The scope of our work can be large or small, from large custom homes to smaller renovations. Our work includes: Renovation, Additions, Kitchens, Custom Homes, Bathrooms, and Whole home renovations

As Scott explains,“We need to get to know our customers as individuals before we begin a job. From there, I think it’s our job to guide them through the project. «Projects are more than just blueprints». Our distinction is how we reach solutions that will satisfy the homeowner.

Again, the most important aspect of our business is exceeding our client’s expectations so they are happy. That’s why Winthorpe’s greatest source of business is from customer referrals & repeat business. The best way to understand what we are about is to call us. You’ll soon see why homeowners love to work with us.

History

Established in 1988.

Winthorpe Design & Build, Incorporated started in 1988 by Scott Szeliga as a residential remodeling company. They first started with remodeling projects in the Washington, DC metro area. In 1990, their service area was extended to the Baltimore Washington Corridor and in 1992, they began «new construction» projects building truly custom homes.

As the company grew, they also started taking on townhome property development, commercial, light industrial, and restaurants projects; Clyde’s, Sweetwater Tavern, and Syms to name a few. By 1994, Winthorpe was truly a full service remodeler and builder, handling up to 5 projects at any given time throughout the DC, Virginia, and Maryland area. During 1996, they felt the growing pains and realized the need for larger and more centralized facilities. In February 1997, they relocated their offices and shop to Highland, MD. The new facility was actually designed for and built by Winthorpe Deisgn & Build to meet today’s high tech office needs.
