"Richard was on time and took the time to go over everything and let me know up front how much it was going to cost. He also was super informative and also let me know about the other services that he offers and was even able to give me a couple of rough estimates on other projects that we are interested in having done. Which was very much appreciated. The job we hired him for to clean our gutters and downspouts was done perfectly and so quickly. He was even able to check a spot on our roof near the chimney that we were concerned about leaking. He was able to recalk it for us while he was up there. Highly recommend Richard with Spellman Home Services. We will defiantly hire him for future projects!!"

Our value is in our commitment to your project and attention to details giving your home the attention it deserves. We are an owner-operated company with 20 years of experience in the remodeling industry.
"Following an interior french drain project, we needed to totally reconstruct our basement shower. It had been almost completely ripped out, was down to the dirt floor, and walls were back to the cinderblock two feet up. It was not a remodeling job that many would want to tackle. Laurel Craftsmen Company came to our rescue. While we had intended to simply find a way to fix what was torn out, Jamin suggested that the right way was to tear out the rest of the wall tiles and do the complete remodel—and we are so glad he did. He figured out the best way to resolve the complicated issues we had, and gave us an amazing, beautiful, brand new shower. The job required rebuilding the shower drain and pan, installing a new drywall ceiling, new plumbing, tiling the walls and floor and installing a shower door. Every step of the way, Jamin took his time and did a first rate job. He saw to every detail. We appreciated how he kept us informed every step of the way. He was even helpful in advising us on our tile choices. Jamin would see things from the old shower that weren’t just right and would step up and correct them. He set a high bar for himself and his workmanship attested to that. His tile cuts were perfect. Throughout the project Jamin kept in close touch with us. He is not like so many workers we have hired who just don’t show up and later invent fantastic excuses. He’s conscientious and reliable. His price was very competitive. Given that he was working with an injured foot the whole time, he went above and beyond all expectations. We are 100% satisfied with his work and give him our highest recommendation."

We offer quality and affordable general remodeling services.
"Kevin and his team did an outstanding job restoring our basement bathroom. From start to finish, they were incredibly professional, careful, and thorough. I was particularly concerned about moisture getting into the tub area, and Kevin’s team went above and beyond to find the right set of tub and walls to fit our basement. They even had to return one set because it didn’t fit, and I was really impressed with their ability to pivot and ensure we had the best solution. Communication was excellent throughout the project. Kevin was very proactive, mostly texting us each day to let us know when to expect them and being flexible if I had traffic issues. They worked diligently every day over two weeks to complete the restoration, and their attention to detail really showed in the final result. I’m honestly surprised by how much I love the basement bathroom now! I didn’t think I would care much about it since it’s in the basement, but the quality of work has truly transformed the space. Overall, we couldn’t be happier with the work Kevin and his team did. They took the time to explain our options, addressed all of our concerns, and delivered a beautifully restored bathroom that exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend!"

We specialize in creating custom cabinet and countertop solutions for your kitchen, bath or any other part of your home.
"I started working with Jim Seibert of Trademark Cabinet Company this summer in preparation for a significant kitchen overhaul in my townhouse. From the beginning, he was open to my questions and preferences, and helped me plan and design cabinets to fit in the existing footprint but far surpassed the functionality of my 1980s cabinets. When it came time to do the demo in October, he and his crew were both friendly and professional, and cleaned up after themselves. I watched them repeatedly do calm and focused problem-solving on the fly, and they finished earlier than we expected. Then when they brought the gorgeous cabinets we chose, they were meticulous in their installation and gracious as I watched the whole process from my spot on the stairs. The finished product was superb, the price very competitive, and I only have compliments for their work."

Most glass stove tops serve faithfully for 10 to 20 years with proper maintenance. Longevity depends largely on usage patterns, cleaning practices, and the quality of the original materials. Regular, gentle cleaning and avoiding heavy impacts can extend your stove top's life considerably. Watch for warning signs like inconsistent heating or visible stress marks that might indicate replacement is becoming necessary.
In many cases, you can replace only the glass surface without changing the entire stove. This approach works well when the underlying heating elements and electrical components remain functional. However, some manufacturers design their units with integrated components that require complete assembly replacement. Consulting your owner's manual or speaking with a qualified technician helps determine the best approach for your specific model.
Even small cracks in a glass stove top present significant safety concerns. What appears as minor damage can quickly worsen with heat exposure, potentially leading to complete failure during cooking. Cracks also create pathways for spills to reach electrical components, posing shock and fire hazards. For your safety, avoid using a cracked stove top and arrange for inspection or replacement promptly.
A professional technician completes a glass stove top replacement within approximately two hours. This timeframe includes removing the damaged surface, installing the new glass, and testing all connections. The project may extend longer if complications arise or if your stove has unusual features. When ordering replacement parts, factor in additional days for delivery before scheduling installation.
Glass stove tops most commonly break from physical impacts like dropping heavy cookware or utensils. Thermal shock—the stress caused by rapid temperature changes—also contributes to breakage, especially when hot surfaces come into contact with cold items. Prevent damage by handling cookware carefully, allowing surfaces to cool before cleaning, and using appropriate pots and pans designed for glass cooking surfaces.
