"Terrific, we decided to go w/ Stoneberger because their sales representative spent time advising and guiding us through the options, the colors and styles of doors. She listened to what we thought we wanted and helped us find the right solution. No other sales rep we met with offered that customer service. She also followed up on time and was super easy to work with once we decided on specific doors. Installation also was on time, efficient and went very smoothly. We had one issue that arose b/c of the age of our house and Stoneberger addressed it quickly and beyond fairly. Highly recommend them."

"It finally came time for us to replace two old wooden garage doors. First I did some research on garage doors in general. Lots of info on the Internet. Then I did extensive research on quality garage door contractors in my area. Used Yelp and other sources. Came up with a list of five quality candidates and sent details to each for bids. Eliminated 3 in relatively short order for various reasons. Came down to two candidates for the same two door options (either a Clopay or a CHI) -- Academy and another contractor. I focused on all decisioning points -- service, price, features, warranty, etc. Both were very close on price so that was not a discriminating factor. However, all the other factors came out very much in favor of Academy. Our sales contact, Dave McLaughlin was superb. Knowledgeable, responsive, helpful. The two managers at HQ -- John and Alan -- also very professional and responsive. So I did the order with Academy and selected the Clopay doors. Doors arrived in the time period they said. Scheduled the install. Jim and Coach (two HUGE guys!) showed up and did the install. They were even able to deal with the fact that my floor was off level just a shade. Made the doors fit well. Thanks guys! So far so good! Love the new doors! SO much better than the old ones in every way. Now I have to fix up my house b/c the garage doors are now the best part!"

"Tech showed up on time, fixed the door, and left.  Not pushy on additional services.

"The latch on my back door suddenly quit opening leaving us unable to get into the garage from the house.   I called Annandale Lock and Key on Saturday thinking I might be able to make an appointment for Monday.  He asked if it was ok if he came out on Sunday.  I asked if there would be an extra charge but he said "No". 
He arrived at the appointed time and was finished with the job in about 30 minutes.  He said the inner latch mechanism had just quit working so he replaced it with one he had with him.  He was able to reuse the outer mechanism (lever and lock) so I didn't have to buy a whole new set. 
I was very impressed with Chris's work and professionalism.  He even remembered that he had been out before and worked on the front door latch, which is still working well.  The cost of the job was $105 and I was very pleased overall. 
 
I realize there was a special advertized by another company, but I doubt if it would have been much cheaper (if any) and since I had called this company previously I knew I could rely on having a good job done by a company I knew to be reliable.
If I ever have another problem with a lock I will definitely call Annandale Lock and Key.

"Amazing system! Did a lot of research on alarm systems....so glad I went with 1st security! They came to my house and explained everything to me, were not pushy at all. Came and installed the system a few days later....took the time to explain everything to me and did an amazing job with the installation. And the price is excellent, both the installation fee and the month to month. So happy with my decision."

"Mr. Ngana is a very nice and professional. He came the same day I called him (day after a burglary to our home) and spent over 4 hours at our house. Unlike some of the other reviewer experiences, he DID bill my husband for that work ($500 including the Angie's List discount). He told my husband that he needed to get hardware to reinforce the door that was kicked in and made arrangements to come back in the morning (Weds). I wasn't there, but there was apparently a misunderstanding. Mr. Ngana thought my husband was going to call him in the morning to tell him to come, while my husband thought Mr. Ngana said he would come at 10:00. He didn't come, and when he called my husband just before 11:00, my husband told him that he needed to get back to work and couldn't wait. So, they made plans for him to come the next day (Thurs) at 9:00. He actually came at 7:30 instead, which was great! Disappointingly (also unlike other reviews), he charged ANOTHER house call fee, so that bill was $250."

"They were wonderful and very good. They did it quickly. We had a general contractor and he had quoted a price too high and so I found them and now, the general contractor is using them because he was impressed with the work that they had done. The came, measured and gave me the estimate when they said they were going to. They installed them on time. It seemed like a timely, good quality work. The price was cheaper than what other people are quoting me."

"The installers did a very good job. The company appears to have gone out of business. There was corrective work which was required and the company was not around to honor its obligation to make it right. The manufacturer, Marvin, stepped in and corrected the installation issues."

"It was an absolute pleasure working with everyone at American Home Contractors (AHC). I had a very customized project requiring a very specific type of siding since I live in Georgetown, DC, and we have several layers of historic oversight required prior to permit issuance. In other words, this neighborhood is extremely difficult to work in due to all the regulations required to obtain a legal permit to do any external work on these historic homes. John Roda, AHC’s Project Coordinator, was my primary contact at AHC over the many months it took me to finally obtain my permit and begin deciding on how to obtain the siding necessary to meet permit specifications. He was extremely competent and patient throughout the entire process and worked closely with me and the Historic Preservation Office contact for Georgetown to ensure that we were meeting strict product demands while also staying within my budget. So many other companies either refused to work with me or were incapable of working with me on this project due to the difficulties I encountered while navigating the permitting process alone. AHC is different. They have stamina, courage, and endurance. High-quality people + high-quality materials= high-quality job with the added bonus of a decent price for what you are getting. In the end, my home looks absolutely stunning. Even more importantly, I now have the peace of mind that my home has good quality siding and is structurally sound. AHC actually had to remove the illegal Masonite siding (has a class-action lawsuit for the damage it has caused homes in the past) that was likely installed in ~1970-1980 without the issuance of a legal permit when the old pebble dash stucco was removed. They installed some beautiful cedar siding in its place. I spent many sleepless nights worrying about the damage the Masonite might have done to the furring strips and the old 1880s substrate in the lead-up to the installation. Thankfully, all was well and the installation was extremely efficient and successful. The AHC siding installers arrived at 7 am on the day of installation and worked tirelessly until 7 pm. We initially estimated the job would take ~ three days, and they finished in only a day. Their work ethic and workmanship on the installation were truly astounding, especially in an era when simple tasks are often drawn out and good work ethic and professionalism are touted ad nauseam by companies but rarely mobilized in practice. As a first time homeowner, I have gone through a lot of mental anguish with my home’s historic idiosyncrasies, particularly when I am in the process of gathering estimates for necessary maintenance work and wait weeks or even months to hear back from companies that overcharge for low-quality materials and unenthusiastic, inefficient labor. AHC is different. I heard back with my first estimate within days (during fall 2020 with the COVID pandemic raging on), the materials were excellent, the price was fair, and John was very enthusiastic and optimistic throughout the project’s duration even despite the multiplicity of hurdles we encountered with the ever-changing demands of the historic preservation specialists. The only upside of gathering competing estimates and meeting with all those contractors I met with initially is that when I finally found a gold standard contractor (AHC), I experienced the sheer relief of having a reliable contractor for my current and future projects and to wholeheartedly recommend to friends and family. I am so grateful to everyone at AHC who worked so hard to make what really seemed impossible and out-of-reach finally materialize. If you have a tough (or simple) project that you need to be done right and are torn between companies or are just starting your search for a reliable, five-star contractor, I can highly, highly recommend AHC based on my experience with them. You will not be disappointed."
