Greg Buitrago

Sales and Creative Director

Greg has been with Hammer Design Build Remodel for 15 years and has acquired many titles, including Project Development Manager, Showroom Director, and Senior Kitchen & Bathroom Designer. He combines all three when designing functional, aesthetically pleasing spaces for clients and outfitting entire rooms with specific products while working within given investments. A native of the DC Metro region, Greg studied business at the University of Maryland, working as a carpenter and construction supervisor before stepping out to lead his family’s residential construction firm. He has since been nationally recognized for his work by the National Kitchen and Bath Association, awarded a Contractor of Year Award in the whole home renovation category for 2022, and has been featured in several publications, including Houzz, Hanleywood’s Remodeling magazine, and Pro Sales magazine. Greg knew from a very early age that he wanted to be involved with the complexities of architecture and design. He has always had a creative nature with a pragmatic personality. The combination of the two, plus his affinity for people, took him on a clear path to take on creative and challenging projects for his homeowners. When he isn’t leading the Hammer design team, Greg can be found enjoying the many blessings of his beautiful wife and four wonderful children.

Jorge Castellanos

Marketing Director

Jorge has been the co-owner of Hammer since 2004. He started working in construction in 1999 as a general contractor and began his journey in this business. By the end of 2004, he started Hammer and took over as the production director, managing construction projects himself. He has experience managing budgets and accounting processes, contracts and technical information, customer service, instructing and supervising personnel on construction sites, selecting and hiring laborers and subcontractors, and staying on top of legal requirements and regulations. His experience in construction also allowed him to direct projects that stand out in the construction industry in the Washington, D.C. area, selecting construction methods and strategies that are now what differentiates Hammer from other companies and make it a luxurious design-build business. Almost 20 years later, with a profitable and award-winning company, Jorge has taken over the position of Marketing Director, to send Hammer in a new direction and approach new and more ambitious goals.
