Get matched with top sunroom or patio enclosure builders in Aberdeen-proving-ground, MD

"Daryl and his crew did an excellent job of repairing walls and painting our sunroom. Communication was great. Daryl always came when promised and the job was completed quickly and perfectly."

"Positives: The design work was great. We spoke with several kitchen companies before deciding to go with VKB, and Joe, the designer we worked with, put the most effort into hearing what our goals were and creating a creative plan for us. He was knowledgeable and helpful, and had a good eye to notice things that we hadn’t considered. He also offered helpful suggestions regarding cabinets, countertops, paint colors, etc. We were happy with the finished product. Negatives: The biggest issue we encountered was a lack of communication. We discussed various issues with the designer, but these frequently were not communicated to the actual workers doing the job. For instance, when the workers showed up on the first day, they didn’t actually have the plans for what was being done with the kitchen, and we had to explain the job to them. Joe offered to add lighting inside our closet, and we contacted him and said to go ahead and do it, but that information was not communicated to the workers until it was really too late, so it was never done. Sometimes it was 48 hours before we would hear back from Joe when we contacted him with a question during the process of the remodel. Because a lot can happen in two work days, this was sometimes problematic. The second issue we encountered was that when speaking about the project beforehand, words like “plumber” and “electrician” were used, but no plumbers or electricians were actually employed; general contractors did all the work. As a result, we felt uneasy about the quality of the work that was being done. For instance, the evening after our sink was hooked up, it came disconnected while we were using it, with the result that water was spewing all over our under-sink cabinet until my husband reconnected everything properly. Additionally, the cabinet seal on our dishwasher was installed backwards so that the rubber flap was sticking out. (They fixed this upon request.) Issues like these make us feel uneasy, and we weren’t confident that the work we couldn’t see or notice right away was done right. We wish that an actual plumber had been hired to do the work, as we had expected, or at least that it had been clear up front that this would be the case. Finally, we felt that the workers who were actually doing the job were sometimes careless toward our home. For instance, they piled tools and trash on our back patio, but in the process knocked over a plant and crushed flowers in our flower bed. They got paint smudges on a wooden shelving unit in the kitchen while painting. Similarly, certain details of the job were missed until we pointed them out. The finished product came out well, but we aren’t sure it would have if we had not been carefully supervising. (For instance, they forgot to run an electrical line for the oven until we reminded them, and a different faucet than we had selected was installed. These issues were always corrected once we pointed them out, but we were surprised that mistakes like this were made.)"

"Dave promptly responded to my inquiry and we set an appointment for him to look at the space and to provide an estimate.  Dave was very professional.  He took measurements and made notes.  He took the time to discuss what we wanted and provided suggestions, including showing examples of prior work. He informed us of how long the project would take.  He provided a folder containing information about the sub-contractors he uses.  That day he provided me a rough quote.  He promised to email the estimate the next business day and did so.  The estimate of $8,500 did not include the shower door or the fixtures.  We felt the price was a bit high for just a shower.  We had budgeted $7,000 for this project.  
My only criticism is like most contractors, he did not separate the labor cost and the materials cost.  Contractors do this so that the consumer doesn't know the margins tacked on to the materials/subs labor for their profit.  
We informed Dave that we did not intent to go forward with the project since it was more than we wanted to spend.  He suggested using a fiberglass foundation versus tile and using marble shelves rather than building shelves to cut down on the cost.  We did not want to do that.  
We would recommend Dave's company and call him again for future projects.

"We needed to replace a Peachtree hinged patio door that provides access to our walk out basement. We have used AES for 5 remodeling projects over the past 5 years and they have always done excellent work. So, I called Dave Hill, our salesman at AES. Dave came out to the house promptly to take a look at the door and give us an estimate. He recommended a ProVia door as the best value. Mark, their door installer, came out to take measurements. The door was delivered to the house and Mark came out to do the install. The original door was a non-standard size and an unusual install. The only way the new door was going to fit was if they removed the inside drywall, floor tile and vinyl floor around the door, installed the door and then replaced everything. Mark was willing and able to do the work but after more discussion we agreed that the job was getting out of hand. AES ordered a seconds door (at no cost to us) that could be installed from the outside. Mark came out a second time and installed the door in about 5 hours. The new door fits perfectly. The inside finishing work looks great and the outside is well sealed and looks great."

"GTL Remodeling was disappointing because Keith Hallam, their representative, seemed to be very knowledgeable and wasb the first to come to the house inn order to provide a quoten but after promising a quote by Oct. 11 orb at the latest Oct. 14,, I have still not received a quote or heard from them at all. Keith also promised that his company could complete the job before Christmas. I think that he discovered they could not keep his promise and chose not to submit a quote. This is very poor customer service and If I cant depend on them keeping their word, then I cant depend on them at all."

"I recently had a composite deck completed by Chesapeake Home Improvement Group, Inc. This was definitely one of the most “stress free”home improvement projects I have ever experienced. I attribute this to the ongoing communication and high level of professionalism they exhibited throughout the project."

"I am so pleased with my experience and job performance of FA outdoors. I am using my new deck every day. The quality is exceptional and their communication as we went through the building process was fantastic. I have already referred them to several of my family and friends"

"

The window replacements were done 3-4 years ago.  The windows are good quality.  The measurement of one window was not done properly and the installer did a fix by adding spray foam.  The deck was done 2 years ago.  The deck installers were fired as they made so many mistakes.  The deck install was suppose to be done in a week, it took 3 weeks.

I had a service tech com out to check a deck problem in May.  He is no longer working there and was laid off with almost all of the staff in Gaithersburg.  I called over a week ago for a service follow-up call.  The receptionist in Baltimore answered the phone, as there is no one in Gaithersburg and the phones are forwarded.  I am still waiting more than a week for a follow-up service phone call to be returned by the person who schedules service calls.   I have no idea how long it will take before someone can come to my home.  I am concerned that if I had a major problem, I would be waiting months to get a window repaired.

"When we moved into our new house we had a number of remodeling projects. Josh added on a laundry room in our kitchen and built a large walk-in storage area with shelving. He also installed more efficient lighting fixtures in the living room and storage closet. We have had many compliments on the work from friends who come into our house. Josh was trustworthy, honest, easy to communicate with about the work and punctual in completing work on time. Josh is a creative, skillful and very capable craftsman."

"We highly recommend American Home Contractors. The sales team was very knowledgeable about the roof replacement process, had all of the samples needed to assist with our decision and provided a list of addresses so we could drive by an see completed roof projects. They are a master elite GAF roofing contractor, which was important to us in selecting a contractor. The contract process was hassle free and they addressed all of our questions. The work crew was very efficient and professional, and left our property in a very clean condition. The finished product looks great. We would use AHC for additional projects in the future."
