"Chuck Fisteck was great! He provided great service for my roof damage and explained the work in detail, with recommendations."

"Debbie, the AC&R salesperson, was very knowledgeable and confident. They were the 2nd quote I got for work and came in even lower than I expected (which gave me pause as a low bid is a red flag). But true to her word, they did the work professionally (mostly...see below) and promptly. While I had another company do the energy audit for the Pepco rebate, AC&R took over the work, did the blown fiberglass one day and the spray foam the next.



For the blown fiberglass in the attics above our additions, they added spray foam (from a can) around any gaps per the contract and foam board baffles at the soffits. The installer noted that all our soffits were blocked and the batting insulation was too wide for the rafter channels, so he leveled it out as best he could to ensure an even coating of blown insulation. At the end, he sealed up the gaps between the attic and our to-be-finished upstairs (cape cod style, so all one room).



For the spray foam insulation, the team came in the next day, and I had to be out of the house due to fumes. I did come back around noon as they expected to be done well before then. They didn't know I came in and I went to the back of the house to watch TV on my work break. The one annoyance was during their cleanup, one of the installers came down into our kitchen and then saw me. He said he was looking for a vacuum cleaner to clean the stairs. I told him don't worry about the carpet as it was getting pulled up, but this was the one piece of unprofessionalism I noted above. Contractors should NEVER use the homeowner's property; they should bring their own tools, including vacuums!



While the spray foam can get very messy, they kept the splatter mostly contained to inside the crawlspace, not the finished flooring. However, I was surprised that they didn't tape off the outlet covers or light switched. since the particles are so small, we're going to have to replace the switches/receptacles at our cost. Also, there was a storm door screen that wasn't covered and now needs cleaned. Basically, I think they should have taken more care in covering the very few items we left upstairs and the outlets/switches.



They didn't spray around the window frames (large gaps where window weights used to be) because the open cell foam would expand too much. If I wasn't there, I think they would have just left, but it was clear in our contract discussions they needed to insulate those spaces too. They used a few cans of "Good Stuff" equivalent, but didn't fill in the gaps entirely. It did the job well enough, but it's a ding against them as I expected more preparation.



Lastly, I thought that AC&R would walk me through all the scheduling and final "test out" (for the Pepco rebate), but I had to contact them and schedule with someone different each time. They were always prompt, but I expect the experts to know to do this for/with me rather than expect me to know the process. I go through it once in a lifetime while they do it weekly.



While the end of the review sounds more negative than positive, I would definitely recommend AC&R out to others as they're priced right, they have been in business for over a century, and like any contractor, you just need to follow up to be sure everything is done to your satisfaction.

Our home is about 8 or so years old. The builder didn't take much pride in finishing the walls in the garage. Having had a finished garage in our prior home I knew that was something I wanted and also knew that the finished garage in our prior home was a huge selling point. The crew from Timothy's Home Improvement did a fantastic job of finishing the walls and ceiling and the floor is perfection. The crew was very professional, punctual, and courteous.  They arrived when they said they would and upon leaving the work area was as clean as they had found it.  All in all a very favorable experience.

The overhang on our front porch was constructed in such a way that allowed rain water to infiltrate the fascia and the overhang itself causing discoloration and bubbling of the paint.  Tim?s crew completely reconstructed the fascia and overhang to the standard that it should have been by the builder and it looks great.  

My wife and I are very pleased with the work done by Timothy?s Home Improvement and will definitely be using them again.

"It was excellent. Everything was perfect and I had no complaints at all."

"Bill Hawk is easy to communicate with.  I left a lock-box on the back door, they came out, and did the work while I was at work.  They coordinated with Geller Labs to have them come out and perform a final air test for me.  They did a great job cleaning up.

"He came a basically check it out and cleared the debris off the roof but I don’t think he actually did any corking. I don’t know if he did the amount of job that normal people would do. He could have spent a little more time corking around the pipe."

"Great! Easy process, good communication, lovely workers. Highly recommend. And the windows are GREAT!! Significantly cut down the outdoor noise, super happy with results."

"The repairs went excellent, reasonable price, the technician was on time and very pleasant."

"After having some pretty bad rains in the Baltimore area and my tenants informing me that the basement was leaking i searched out a few different companies and found MJ Home Services they have incredible reviews everywhere. Melissa was great and so were the guys that did the work. They sent me pictures over throughout the entire process and everything was done through email which made it so much easier for me. So far so good there's no leaking and my tenants are extremely happy . I would definitely hire MJ Home Services again."
