If you made me choose between getting a quote from an exterior remodeling company in Northern VA and MD, or getting a root canal?
I’d call my dentist and have him fire up his drill.
Few things are as painful as dealing with high-pressure remodeling companies. Sadly, these kinds of companies are the norm. They train their salespeople to deploy all kinds of arm-twisting techniques and cunning compliance tricks during your appointment.
I’d know.
I used to work for these companies.
I worked at big remodeling companies for 15+ years. And I was a sales rep for eight of those years.
The companies I worked for were all about the classic sales techniques. The “Inflated Price” ploy. The “Now Or Never” strategy. The “Doorknob” close (look it up). You name it, I utilized it.
Don’t get me wrong. I disliked using these sales tactics. But what can I say? I was young and naïve. I just thought that’s how selling in the remodeling industry was supposed to be.
Where my conscience REALLY started prickling? When I had to teach these sales techniques to others.
Once I was promoted into management, I progressed rapidly. I ultimately advanced to a position as the Senior VP of Operations for a company doing north of 75 million per year. I had found a home in operations where I thrived—even winning employee of the year.

One of my many jobs was to train new salespeople. I had no problem with some aspects of this. I taught them how to educate homeowners on our products… how to measure a roof… and how to determine the right solution for each customer. You know, the kinds of things a sales rep should do.
It was teaching that OTHER stuff that bothered me. High pressure. Pricing games. Compliance tactics. They were all part of my company-mandated sales-training curriculum.
Training others to use the same techniques I’d been using for years was a wake-up call. It gave me an outside perspective of what I’d actually been doing. It was what fully “flipped the ethics switch” in my brain.
So I quit my job and the sales-pressure lifestyle.

Matt Kavanah is the owner of Milcon Design & Build. He has 20+ years of experience and has a simple philosophy, only the absolute best will do. On every single job. For every single customer. Down to every single detail.
But I didn’t just want to change jobs. I wanted to change the homeowner experience.
I started Milcon Design & Build with one goal: To give you a refreshingly straightforward, no-nonsense way to get a quote on top-notch roofing, windows, and siding in MD and Northern VA.
So the first thing I did? Create a “Zero Salespeople” policy. When you get a quote from Milcon, you get a quote from me. And I don’t mess around or waste your time.
I don’t have a rehearsed sales pitch. I don’t bring any dog-and-pony-show product demonstration to your meeting. I don’t plant myself on your couch for three hours until you cave and say “yes.”
Before our appointment, I use a special aerial-imaging program to measure your home from my office computer. This gives me 90% of the info I need about your project—before I pull in your driveway.
When I arrive, I go over the options that would work best for YOUR situation, YOUR tastes, and YOUR budget. In as little as 30 minutes, I can give you everything you require to make an informed decision.
If you want your meeting to take longer? No problem! Ask me as many questions as you want. I’ll take as long as YOU need.
I can give you a price during our appointment, if that’s what you want. But I typically determine your needs… then go back to my office and email your quote to you shortly after.
This takes tremendous pressure off you to make a decision during face-to-face meetings. You don’t have some guy you just met breathing down your neck. You can take as much time as you need to think things over. I’ll be here if and when you choose to move forward. I’m on YOUR time.
If you live with your significant other, practically every contractor requires you BOTH be present for a quote. Otherwise, they’ll refuse to set a meeting with you.
Me? I have ZERO problems speaking to just one “head of household.” I’m happy to deal with one or both of you.
I’m a business owner with a wife and two young kids. Believe me—I get that you and your partner are BUSY. It’s hard enough to make time for yourselves. So I don’t expect you to align the stars and converge your schedules just to talk to me.
You’re adults. You can talk and make decisions privately, on your own terms… without some contractor eavesdropping on your discussion.

But it’s not just the Milcon quote process you’ll appreciate. Top to bottom, we treat your entire project with the same it’s-all-about-YOU mentality. From industry-best products to meticulous installation, we bring our “A” game to every phase of your exterior remodel.
And if you’re interested in a quote, get in touch. I would be absolutely honored to speak to you.
It’ll be the easiest exterior remodeling quote you’ll ever experience. I promise.
At Milcon Design & Build, we have a simple philosophy: Only the absolute best will do. On every single job. For every single customer. Down to every single detail.
That’s not an empty promise. It’s not lip service.
It’s the etched-in-stone company code we follow day in and day out. Zero exceptions.
Here’s what that looks like for YOU…

We’ve left “the dark side of sales” behind to build an exterior remodeling company grounded in a zero-pressure philosophy, emphasizing genuine integrity, honesty, and transparency. The polar opposite of the big national exterior remodeling brands.

Our success is driven by our outstanding crew. They deliver exceptional service with specializations in each of their fields, exceptional training, attention to detail, and unwavering commitment to quality in every service we provide.

We’re a locally-owned company deeply connected to the Maryland and Northern Virginia areas who prioritizes a friendly neighbor approach. We strive to leave a positive impression and value our community involvement.

From GAF roofing products to RJT and ProVia windows and doors, we deliver name brands that offer a wide range of options to fit various budgets, ensuring our customers receive top-quality AND visually stunning products.

We raise the bar and pride ourselves on our strong core values, which we actively instill in our daily operations. This sets us apart from other Northern VA and MD exterior contractors, many of whom don’t even have their own core values.

We understand the importance of accessible financing options. So we’ve tailored our plans to suit various budgets and needs, ensuring our clients can achieve their dream exterior remodel without financial strain.

I'm really glad I went with Milcon.Posted on Google Jonelle HillearyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’re so pleased to be able to provide this review of our recent window replacements project with Milton Design and Build- all in all, truly a 5 star event. Owner, Matt Kavanah, followed up on a Thumbtack request for proposals with a home visit to see what we needed and how Milcon Design and Build could help. Matt explained the process, how long it would take to order and get ready for the installation, and most importantly, what we could expect as performance from the ProVia window and door products recommended for our home. Matt indicated that he would have Project Manager, Josh, come out and take precise measurements to make up the order, but for the proposal pricing he was able to give us a very competitive bid based on our conversation that day. We kept coming back to Matt’s straightforward conversation and the value of the windows we would be ordering. The price and quick time-to-install just sealed the deal. Matt made some key suggestions that, after our installation today, proved to be great advice. One of the reasons we chose to do a window replacement now (January) was the cold spots in both our primary bedroom and dining room - opposite ends of our house. Even upgraded HVAC hadn’t been able to overcome the heat loss. Tonight, with a new package of high-efficiency thermally broken windows and sliders installed, we’re actually turning the thermostat down because we’re warm! Thank you to Matt, Josh, Luis, Martin, and the rest of the crew for a great job, for explaining all the tips and techniques to get the most out of the new windows and front door, as well as to keep them looking beautiful for years to come! Thank you, Milcon Design and Build for working with us on this purchase… you guys are awesome!Posted on Google Thomas VolkTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Outstanding! After weeks of countless window contractor interviews, we found the perfect company. Matt at Milcon, with his many years of experience, provided us with detailed product descriptions to meet our environment requirements, that included muffling the Ashburn Data Center and air traffic noise. They installed over 40 windows in two days! Most important, my wife is so happy with our choice.Posted on Google Willmer RomeroTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went to Milcon for a quote and they came in under the competition. The staff was super professional and did everything I asked for. The team was quick and was done within hours. I would go back for any future projects.Posted on Google Bernadette RahmaniTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Matt was very professional, gave us very good advice for the 2 massive doors we had to replace. We were very happy with the process, the execution of the project and the products. We had a very pleasant experience with Matt and his installation crew. Thank you so much.Posted on Google Meghan KavanahTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent customer service. Quick install. Impeccable job. Would highly recommend!Posted on Google Josh EvansTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Right on time. Matt and his team did what they said they were going to do when they said they were going to do it. Painless process from start to finish. I had a new roof in about 48 hours. Highly recommended.Posted on Google Justin HoughtonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were in need of a roof replacement so we threw out a few requests on Thumbtack and I’m glad we did since it brought us to Milcon Roofing. Matt reached out very quick and if I recall correctly came out the following day to discuss options. He wasn’t pushy or trying to just sell me something. It was clear he has been in the business for years and more or less just informed me of my options. He also noted his crew gets certified on the roofing systems which we really liked. So we needed up asking for a quote and it was very fair and competitive. I will say, Matt was very professional, quick to reply to texts, his quote was very fair, and his crew was on time and knocked out the job out in less than one day. Oh, also their clean up was outstanding. While I hope to never see Matt again (since the roof will last many more years than we should be here) I would 100% call him back for any future work here or at our next home. If you need a new roof, give them a call, you won’t regret it!Posted on Google Jorge Manuel TrasmonteTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hired Milcon Roofing, Design & Build for replacing the original aluminum siding on our house. Matt took the time to explain different options and we opted for the insulated siding. Matt was very easy to work with and communicated with us through the entire process. The work crew did an great job despite some days with rough weather. We are very happy with the results, less cold drafts, a reduction in noise and a more modern looking exterior. Everything looks great! Can't recommend enough.Posted on Google Kristina MilbergTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Matt and his team were great to work with, would recommend!
