"Crew arrived on time and completed installation of approx 2500 sq ft of new roofing shingle in about 7 hours. Very professional throughout the process from estimate to completion of work and clean-up. Of three estimates received their price was the lowest by a considerable amount. Very pleased and would highly recommend their service."

"Jose Rodriguez was a basic carpenter. He used up 1/2 hour purchasing materials and I had to go with him to pay for them rather than reimburse him for the items. He had to pay him for the rest of the work which ended up costing over $300 for basic work that any handyman could have done. He left the wooden beam support with bracing and could not return until two days later and I was concerned that my large dog might get injured if she moved this. He left a heavy 2 foot 4x4 in my basement near the air conditioner; he also left the rotted roof support beam on my property which I had to dispose of. I kept the unused and cut wood that was purchased as I could cut it and re-use it elsewhere. I recently hired a real carpenter for replacement of my shed doors and he was a true skilled professional who came to my house and measured the wood needed and hardware and purchased the materials and had an assistant to help him do the work which was an excellent job. Quite a difference. Had I known I would have hired him to do the other work done previously and the cost for his work was at a much better price than the Angie's List "pro". No more Angie's List pros for me. Wherever do you find them and how do they get an A rating?"

"It went well. The gutters are very clean. Following an inspection of the roof, they repaired some loose shingles and replaced some missing and damaged shingles and installed two boot collars."

"Once again, AMS Home Remodeling, Frank, was able to clean up my mess.  After ordering a closet organizer unit online. I made the mistake of hiring another company to install the units - 3 total (2 reach in and 1 master).  This original company did not know what they were doing and caused me nothing but more problems (i.e. holes in walls, damaged pieces from closet unit that needed to be replaced, etc).  Frank was able to make time in his all ready busy schedule to come out to take a look at the mess.  He was able to get me into the schedule and complete the install and all repairs from previous contractors by the end of the week.  Frank and his crew (Bruno plus 1) did more than an outstanding job.  Final product is amazing.  I have used AMS Home Remodeling for a complete makeover in my home and I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for an honest dependable contractor.  I absolutely LOVE these guys.
Frank - thank you!!!!

"We previously used Ruxton for our bathroom remodel a few years ago and they did a wonderful job. We recently called them back to help us with improving our kitchen. We weren't sure if we wanted a complete remodel or just a refresh. Frank came in and gave us some great ideas and made it worth going with a complete remodel and design. He spent a few days doing the design and we met with him at his new showroom. As in the past, he did not disappoint. His design and ideas for our kitchen were great! My kitchen looks amazing! The work was completed on time and at the budget we were aiming for. The workers were on time and very polite. We would definitely recommend Frank and Ruxton to anyone interested in a new kitchen or bathroom. Thank you for another great job Frank!"

"Overview of Issue/Repair:
3 Level Townhome (finished basement):
Sliding door off kitchen on second floor was incorrectly flashed.  Due to this, the door needed to be removed, repaired/re-flashed, and reinstalled.  A section of "sinking" kitchen subfloor around this sliding door was also replaced    *Note: at this point we could have purchased a replacement door and had this installed at no additional cost; due to our budget, we decided to re-use the current slider* .  Additionally, a majority of the plywood and window framing below, in the basement, was rotted out. Siding was removed and replaced after all the rot was repaired with fresh plywood and framing.  We did take this opportunity to replace the 2 windows while they were out.
Overview of Experience:
It was apparent from the start that Timothy is clearly focused on understanding and providing what the customer wants/needs and not just obtaining a signed contract.  Timothy met with me in person and on the phone a handful of times prior to finalizing our contract.  Throughout the entire process I felt comfortable reaching out to him for advice and clarification, and never felt as if my questions were "elementary" or annoying.  
Timothy was on site each morning to see progress and ensure that everything was meeting our standard.  It is great to have this interaction with the owner.  Additionally, all of his team is punctual, knowledgeable, and friendly.  They take time to show and educate you as they are performing work.  Our family could not be happier with our decision to go with Timothy's Home Improvement; we look forward to future projects!
Satisfied Customer,

"The job turned out to be a two day job, which we knew in advance and planned accordingly. Had to totally tear out the old tub and surrounding walls. Did run into some minor problems due to being an older house.John did everything he said he was going to do, even more. John was very conscientious in doing the work. He truly does do the work as if it was his own home, even brought the plumbing up to code. Answered any all questions I had with no problems. Will definitely hire them again. Should have done this sooner we are very pleased with everything. Great Job!"

"My primary goal was to remove the carpet and install hardwood floors in the two small bedrooms, hallway, stairs and living room.  At the front door, I did not want hardwood flooring because of all the dirt, and mud that gets dragged in the house.  I did not know what was the best type of  flooring to put at the entryway. 
I got estimates from 3 different contractors.  One from Marvel Home Improvements because Devin's crew had done work at my house before.  Devin's estimate was in excess of $20K.  Too much money. 
Then I got an estimate from a Home Depot.  Initially at the store I had discussed with the sales clerk about getting a certain color for the hardwood floor.  When the Home Depot contractor came by my house, we decided on another color for the hardwood floor and some other things.  When I went to Home Depot to pick up the quote, I saw that these changes did not appear in the quote.  Not good.
My third estimate was from Buzz Bunting.  Buzz evaluated all the details such as hardwood floor type, ledge next to the steps, the closet doors, and the trim.  Buzz suggested slate for the front entryway and explained why.  Then Buzz emailed me an invoice.  I accepted it because it had everything we discussed and the cost was reasonable.
I requested that Buzz and his crew take their time in getting the job done right rather than rushing through the work.  When Buzz and his floor crew had completed the two small bedrooms and hallway, Buzz was simultaneously working on shellacking the closet doors at his workshop and ordering the slate.  
Then I discussed with a Buzz an additional change to the original request.  I asked if he could replace the ingress door to one of the bedrooms to a sliding door.  Also if he could fix the grabbing of the front door.  Buzz did and updated the invoice to reflect that. 
All in all it took two months to get everything completed.  It has been over a year now and I am still very pleased with the results.

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Aberdeen, MD

Pressure-treated lumber is the most inexpensive deck railing material. It's a cost-effective option that offers a good balance of durability and affordability for budget-conscious homeowners. Pressure-treated wood meets essential safety standards while keeping upfront costs low. In contrast, vinyl, polyurethane, and composite materials tend to be more expensive but offer additional aesthetic and maintenance benefits.

To calculate how much deck railing you need, measure the length of all the edges of your deck where railings are required (excluding any openings or areas bordered by the house). Since precise measurements are crucial, it's a good idea to hire a professional. Contractors have the expertise to accurately measure and install your deck railings.

In most cases, safety standards require railings on steps with more than four risers, steps wider than 44 inches, and decks over 30 inches high, measured from the next level down.

Railings should also be between 34 and 38 inches tall. Regulations can vary based on your location, so it's important to check your local building codes or consult a local contractor. There are also rules about the size of the gaps between pickets and between the bottom of the railing and the deck.

Before installing a railing on your front porch, you'll need to check local permitting requirements. Local building authorities may have specific codes that require a permit—or, in some cases, no permit at all. Reviewing your city's guidelines and consulting a qualified professional will help ensure your project meets all legal and safety standards, preventing any unexpected issues during inspections.

Deciding whether to repair or replace your deck railings depends on the extent of the damage and whether you can match new materials to the old ones. If you have minor issues, repair might be an option. However, when it's challenging to match existing materials, replacing the railings can give your deck a fresh start and reset its lifespan. A decking expert can assess your railings and recommend the best course of action to improve safety and maintain a cohesive look.
