Get matched with top solid surface countertops repair (concrete, stainless steel, etc) pros in Dundalk, MD

"We initially were dealing with a fabricator who did not stock slabs where we had to go to warehouses south of Balt to pick slabs. After three trips there and being overwhelmed with the choices we went to Advanced. We met Matt who spent time with use explaining about the granite grades etc. Two hours later we made a choice and had a contract. Two weeks later the counters were installed and boy are they beautiful. Their prices are fair and they have hours late into Saturday afternoon which really worked for our situation."

"Repaired crack in Corian counter top. Looked like new."

"Mr. Romero did a wonderful job numerous projects, including complicated structural work, putting in flooring, painting, etc. He and his team were always timely, and extremely efficient. I highly highly recommend him!!"

"Service was fast, accurate, and courteous.   Price was fair.   Mr.  Squitieri picked up, repaired, and returned my snow blower in just two days.   I am absolutely satisfied with his service.   First Class all the way.  I will use his service again and recommend him without reservation."

"Based on a ton of outstanding remarks on Angie's List, I initially called Tony's Touch to get most of the interior to our house painted. While he was reviewing the house to provide an estimate Anthony (the owner of Tony's Touch) noticed that our oak railings were in fairly poor shape and suggested individually sanding all of the railings and then using a tinted polyurethane to give it some glare and a longer life. During out conversation Tony indicated that his company also does all types of flooring. Since we have been dreaming of hardwood floors on the main level of our house for years, I thought it would be worthwhile to get a quote for this work as well. So, after reviewing five bids to do the work, we selected Tony's Touch to do all three jobs.















Anthony is a very enterprising young man and has put together an outstanding business. He staff a large staff of craftsmen. Anthony is quite knowledgeable on all aspects of this work. Finally, Anthony does a great job of negotiating prices on all materials and passes all of the savings to the customer. For instance, on the floor installation project he was able to find significant savings for myself and other clients by pooling together the same wood in a single order to obtain a very good price. Little things like that save clients significant money.















The most important to know about Anthony is that he wants to ensure all of his jobs get done at the highest quality level possible. He communicates with the clients extremely well. If there is a problem he typically has a recommend solution or two.















I am going to break my reviews up into three different sections: painting, refinishing the rails, and flooring. Each aspect had a separate purpose and were done at different times throughout the renovation process.















Painting







We received five estimates from painters with strong ratings on Angie's List and found that one was ultra high, two were in the middle and two were in the low end. Anthony provided the next to lowest quote, and although he was not the lowest, after meeting with him I felt like he was going to provide excellent work, and he was interested in working with me to ensure I was prepared to make all of the right decisions in a timely manner so that I would be happy with the final project. We had not yet determined all of the house colors, so he provided an excellent designer (from Will's Decorating) to meet us at the house and provide us with assistance on the color selection.















Once all of the colors were selected Anthony was very quick to select dates for the painting work that revolved around our schedule and our desire to be there whenever work was being done.















His crew was extremely polite and I thought they were quite trustworthy and excellent at their craft. They were experienced professionals. I have overseen several renovation activities over the last 30 years and I fully believe that his crews were the hardest working, most time efficient, and effective workers I have ever seen. They were always on task and worked as hard as possible. Just because they were hardworking and moved fairly quickly, there was no skimping on quality. Anthony is quite committed to quality and prefers to lengthen the schedule by a day of so if the job needs more time to maintain his high quality standard.















Tony was very flexible when it came time to select which paint brand and line were to be used in the house. We selected Benjamin Moore's Aura line, which is very expensive, but not as bad after he was able to get a contractor discount on it.















Back to the job: The crew started with prepping all of the paint surfaces and protecting all of the materials in the vicinity of where they were working. Prepping included extensive sanding all of the walls to ensure the pores were open so that the paint could better adhere to the surface. They also waited the prescribed amount of time between the first and second coat of the paint. Many painters put a second coat right over first coat without allowing the first coat to dry, and then takes credit for applying two codes of paint. Anthony's crew, however, allowed for the paint to dry by following the manufacturer's recommendation before attempting to put on a second coat.















The overall results were absolutely fantastic. As with any large painting project, there was a small punch list of tiny problems. I didn't even have to to go over the concerns with them--they saw the list on yhe table, as well stickies we applied to the walls to show where there was an issue, and they immediately made all of the corrections with no questions asked.















If you are thinking about hiring them for painting services I strongly recommend them. Some of the little things, like Tony bringing in an interior designer/paint consultant, at no charge, helped to guarantee we would be happy with the final results.















Finally, Anthony was a dream to work with on this aspect of the job. All promised dates were hit. He constantly checked in to make sure we were still happy with everything throughout the process. He periodically popped in to oversee his crew and to check out the work. And, he takes great effort to make sure we are happy with everything on an almost daily basis.















Resurfacing railings on the main floor and second floor







We have oak rails along the steps, between the kitchen and the FR, and the 2nd floor halls overlooking the FR and Foyer. These railings were quite faded and had absolutely no sheen.















I have had contractors in the past recommend just throwing a coat of polyurethane on top of the existing wood to bring the wood back to life. However.







that approach is a lazy approach to do the work and will result is a poor quality result. Anthony was the only contractor who proposed to do the work correctly--he would only do the job if they sanded, by hand, all of the railing before each coat in order to open up the pores in the wood so that stain and polyurethane would properly soak in the wood. He also suggested using a polyurethanes that was tinted with the stain color. He recommend two coats, and in between coats the railings were lightly sanded again, to ensure the product would properly adhere to the wood. The final results were outstanding.

"My experience with epoxy 856 was excellent. The workers were professional, they covered their feet and made sure everything was clean when they left. Most of all my counters and floor are beautiful."

"Fantastic job, this company does great work! They were very respectful of the property, very neat and thorough! I would definitely hire again and highly recommend. It’s worth the money spent."

"I highly recommend. They always fix the problem quickly and have reasonable prices."

"Very happy with the results and the process was easy and smooth. George Jr showed up to do the consult, he was very friendly and knowledgeable. They were not the lowest quote we received but they were the best at communication and wanting to earn our business. As sales people, my wife and I appreciate professionals that still go out of their way to earn business. They were even able to get in and do the job before the Thanksgiving holiday which was only a few weeks from the consult and was very important to my wife, as we had 14 people coming to Thanksgiving dinner. She is also pregnant and they offered us products that would not be harmful to her or the baby, but she ended up being out of town the days they were here so we stuck to the normal paint, but really appreciated the effort to accommodate us.
   The workers showed up exactly when they said they would. They worked hard and were very fast. I was amazed they finished everything in 2 days considering the size of the area they were painting and the number of cabinets and trim we had. The workers were respectful when moving and covering our belongings before and after painting. They were always laughing and smiling during the job, which is good to see, it hopefully mean they enjoy what they're doing and the quality shows. George and his son would pop in from time to time to check in and make sure everything was going well and that we were happy with the progress.
   All in all, very happy! Would recommend to anyone! If fact, we need new granite.....you know how it goes, first new appliances, which means new paint, which means new counter tops and so forth, but George Jr mentioned they can help us with that and we will probably be giving them our business for that job as well. Thanks for the great job guys.
