Govan Builders has a long history in the home remodeling business. When founded in 1956 in Detroit, MI, by Wilfred J. Govan Sr. he had two simple goals in mind- Quality Work and Customer Satisfaction. As we carried the family remodeling business to the Northern Virginia area we take pride in keeping these goals as the foundation for our success.

We know that what makes a successful project is the melding of exceptional design, quality construction, and meticulous project management. Rather than separate these into opposing entities, Govan Builders works to bring both design and construction together under one roof, thus creating a single responsibility center for these otherwise conflicting points of view.

At Govan Builders, our designers work closely with the estimator, the project manager and construction crew, who all serve as consultants throughout the design process. Once the project is underway, constant communication between these teams remain strong all in an effort to keep the project on time and on budget.
