About Us

Award-Winning Commercial Contractor Since 1990

Commercial and multi-family repair and renovation contractor in Maryland, D.C., and Northern Virginia.

Our story

Working for property owners and managers for more than three decades

Since 1990, property owners and managers in Maryland, Virginia, and D.C. have hired TopKey Construction, formerly known as Installation Services, for commercial and multi-family work. We take a commercial construction project from the first site visit through completion.

We meet you on site, send a proposal for review, and set the project schedule. Then we do the work with as little interruption to your business as possible.

    We say what we will do, then do it. Estimates are accurate, schedules are real, and there are no surprises at completion.

    Solutions-Driven

“Glen, Duane, Nancy and your team did an awesome job on the Columbia Park project. Brought to light some unsafe conditions with one of the electrical panels and repaired. Addressed the hot water heater and fountain wiring issues which were outside of the original scope of work. The overall work performed was outstanding and within the scheduled time-line despite some unforeseen items that arose with the warehouse demo portion. Thank you!”
