Meet Serhii, the Contractor Behind Build Dog Construction

I'm Serhii Kudelkin, owner and licensed general contractor (MHIC #157062). Since 2019 I've personally supervised every kitchen, bathroom, and basement remodel my team builds across Maryland and Washington DC — from the first walkthrough to the final inspection.

Meet Serhii

I'm Serhii Kudelkin, owner and licensed general contractor (MHIC #157062) with hands-on experience throughout the DMV market. Every project Build Dog takes on is personally supervised from the first walkthrough to the final inspection — I don't hand your home off to a salesperson and disappear.

I founded Build Dog Construction in 2019 with one goal: deliver the kind of honest, quality work I'd want done on my own home. That means pulling proper permits, scoping the hidden issues up front instead of burying them in change orders, and standing behind every wall we open up. We don't subcontract the important work — my core crew does it.

Based in Bethesda, MD, my team specializes in kitchen remodeling, bathroom renovation, and basement finishing across Montgomery County and into Washington DC. When you call Build Dog, you talk to me directly at (240) 387-8186.

Our Story

Founded in 2019, Build Dog Construction began with a simple mission: to provide homeowners in Montgomery County with honest, high-quality construction services they can trust.

We keep our team small on purpose. That means Serhii is on-site at every project, not just signing off from a distance. It means communication is direct, not filtered through layers of project managers.

Today, we're proud to have completed 50+ successful projects — from kitchen remodels in Bethesda to bathroom renovations in Potomac and basement finishes in Rockville. What hasn't changed is our commitment to treating every home as if it were our own.

We're not just building structures — we're building relationships and creating spaces where families make memories.
