About Washington, DC

Washington, DC packs a lot of outdoor living into tight footprints. Rowhouse owners in Capitol Hill, Shaw, Logan Circle, and Petworth often build up instead of out, turning rooftops into decks with sightlines toward the Capitol dome or the Washington Monument. Farther northwest, homes in Chevy Chase, Spring Valley, and the Palisades sit on wooded, sloping lots where a raised deck looks out over the trees, while condo owners at Navy Yard and The Wharf want balconies that show off the Anacostia River and the Washington Channel. In each of those settings, a heavy picket railing blocks the very view the homeowner invested in.

That’s why District homeowners bring their railing projects to Cregger Construction. Our cable systems keep views open, handle the city’s humid summers and winter cold snaps, and look just as natural on a historic brick rowhouse as on a modern condo terrace. One team manages your project from the first design conversation through material selection, permits where required, and final installation.

What a great team, from Aiden to Rick to Steve to Jerry our installer! Watching interior walls disappear and replaced with mahogany rails, white posts and stainless cables was amazing. Jerry worked without breaks and did an incredible finishing job! Charlie

Cregger Construction did a great job on our new staircase. They were able to create a custom look that really goes with our rustic modern home. The new staircase not only looks great but it also brings light and better HVAC airflow between the great room and lower level den. I think that the best compliment is that it blends in so well that it looks like it's always been there. Many thanks to the owner, Chuck Cregger and his hard working team: Steve, Justice, Ricky, Mike, Brian, and Allison. The creative design ideas, custom shop work, and installation were really impressive. We look forward to working with them again on additional projects to upgrade our home.

Cregger did such a great job! Our new staircase made out of Acacia wood looks so beautiful. Steve was awesome at communicating from the start and met every deadline. Their team was extremely professional and took great care to protect everything while removing the old staircase and railings and while adding the new. Jerry and Bradley worked late on day two to finish a day early. They did a great job cleaning up and leaving everything very clean. I would hire them again 💯!!

Great job! Installer was very professional, focused on the quality of his work. The installed railing was the last step of my kitchen remodel which overlooks into a sunken family room… the finished product is beautiful!

We are so glad that we chose Cregger Construction for our deck project- they do high quality work. The builders are attentive to detail, efficient and respectful of their work space. We asked for picture framed stairs with gaps In the risers and they more than delivered on this front. Our project manager gave us frequent updates and was patient when we asked for a redesign of the stairs (adding a landing half way down), requiring him to resubmit for a permit. He made sure the project moved along for us and everything was complete. The owner, Chuck, is super friendly and knowledgeable and this attitude carries throughout his company. Lastly, all front end staff were always friendly and helpful when we had to deal with payment logistics or help with our HOA application.

We have used Cregger twice now. First for deck railing and outdoor privacy structures, and now to update our master bathroom. Each time, the team has great communication and fair prices. One of the advantages we found on the bathroom project was that Mike did most all of the work himself. Less time waiting around for various contractors and more time getting the work done. The work quality was great and we couldn't be happier. Attached are some before (blue walls) and after pics
