When we first looked at our current home, we fell in love immediately with the craftsmanship and detailed work. it was a little over our price range so we were reluctant to move forward. The realtor called two hours later and said Keith Stephenson wants to meet with you and show you around the home personally. We met Keith the next day and he spent over an hour looking through every nook and cranny of the home and answering not just our questions but my parents questions as well - with patience and knowledge that you can only get after many years of experience. Over the years, Rivers Edge Builders

Keith demonstrated a high level of integrity and provided the precise quality of work. His passion for construction, knowledge, and oversight of the entire project made the experience easy and enjoyable. Keith took our vision, gave his insight into our preferences, and provided a finished product far beyond our expectations. Keith was very adept at finding a balance of design and functionality which was the driver to the success of the project. It was evident the contractors Keith partners with are based on relationships built on trust and years of experience. His patience, guidance, and attention

River Edge Builders are very professional, reliable and helpful. Moving from Florida to Maryland my husband and I were looking for a team of builders who would be willing to accept the challenges of building a custom house with a unique design approach. We selected this team relying on Carters reputation as a well known builder in Maryland. Keiths experience, organized systemic approach, and willingness to work with us on our unique custom home was a major reason to go with this company. Steve is very knowledgeable, helpful site project manager. After completion Steve periodically stopped

Highly Recommend!! I recently built a home with Carter and Keith in 2018. We needed the house completed quickly as we were expecting twins. Even with three straight weeks of rain when the project was supposed to start, Carter and Keith delivered a beautiful home that was everything we could have imagined. They worked around our schedules, were available at all hours of the day, and were professional throughout. I would be remiss not to mention that an incredible part of the service Keith and Carter provided was the help of the interior designer/decorator, Marni Holifield. Between Keith and Marni

I whole-heartedly recommend Keith Stephenson and Carter Wilson! We purchased our custom home from them in 2017 and have nothing but good things to say. The first time we visited the house our realtor said, this is a great builder and pointed out their use of the highest quality materials and meticulous attention to detail. What really sets them apart is their long-term commitment to client satisfaction. Three years after the purchase of our home they continue to stand behind their work and help us when issues arise. They have also been a great resource when we have made additional improvements

Over the years I've designed many homes built by Carter Willson and Keith Stephenson. They always deliver a beautifully finished home that our clients rave about. Currently they are wrapping up a large contemporary custom home in Bethesda that we designed. I couldn't be happier with the quality and execution. I always know our clients are in good hands when working with Rivers Edge Builders.
