Emergency Repair & Rapid-Response Contractor — Washington, DC and Maryland

Emergency Repair & Rapid-Response Contractor — Washington, DC and Maryland

When a roof opens up overnight, when a basement floods after a storm, when a hotel guest room has to be back in service by tomorrow morning — A and E Construction LLC is the contractor DC and Maryland clients call. We have spent twenty-nine years building a rapid-response practice that public agencies, hospitality operators, multi-family owners, and homeowners rely on for same-day and next-day work. We arrive prepared, scope the damage on site, stabilize the condition, and execute permanent repairs without disrupting your operation any longer than necessary.

Quick-Service Capabilities

Our emergency-repair desk is staffed by senior project managers who can dispatch crews across the District and into Maryland on short notice. We carry our own field tools, vehicles, and trade resources, and we maintain standing relationships with the licensed mechanical, electrical, plumbing, roofing, and abatement subcontractors required for full-spectrum emergency response.

How Our Rapid-Response Process Works

1

Call and Triage

Call (202) 746-0659. A senior project manager — typically Eric Persaud or Yodie Narain — takes the call directly. We confirm the address, the nature of the emergency, and the access window. For active life-safety conditions we dispatch a field team immediately; for non-life-safety emergencies we typically arrive on site the same day or the following morning.

2

On-Site Assessment

Our project manager walks the site with you, photographs the damage, and identifies the immediate stabilization required, the permanent scope of repair, and any code or ADA conditions that must be brought into compliance during the repair. You receive a written scope and a not-to-exceed estimate before work proceeds beyond stabilization.

3

Stabilize

We perform the immediate work required to stop further damage — water shut-off, tarping, board-up, electrical isolation, temporary railings, or whatever the condition demands. For hotel and facility clients, we stabilize and clear the affected area for return to service as quickly as the condition permits.

4

Permanent Repair

Once the site is stable, we execute the permanent repair under a written scope. For projects that require permits, we coordinate with the District's Department of Buildings or the relevant Maryland jurisdiction and, where appropriate, engage Shelton Group CS for permit expediting. For projects involving abatement, structural engineering, or MEP design, we engage our standing partners D3 Architecture, A&A Structures, and AEK Engineering.

Final walk-through, punch list, and warranty turnover. A and E Construction stands behind every emergency repair with a written workmanship warranty.

Kitchen Remodeling Contractor

Gene Kuleta

The guys at A and E Construction are the best. They are responsive, creative and thorough. I hired them to build floating bookshelves, put up wallpaper in two rooms, create a niche for storage covered by a barn door and build furniture to contain filing cabinets. They exceeded my expectations. I had lots that I wanted done, and Eric and Chambers thought creatively about how to accomplish it.

Home Renovation Contractor

Paul Looker Provenza

I hired A and E Construction for a small bathroom renovation, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. The communication from bidding to punch list was outstanding. Eric kept me updated every step of the way and helped work through material selection. The craftsmanship and quality of work from the crew was also excellent.
