Hopkins & Porter of Potomac, MD was the contractor on my recently completed kitchen renovation. They were terrific: working with great care and professionalism to be sure that things were done right. After hearing stories from friends about their experiences with other contractors, I’m really grateful that my kitchen designer recommended Hopkins & Porter.
