Get matched with top grout: replace or repairers in Newark, MD

"Great. George immediately answered my first phone call on his cell. Made an appointment and came for repair or estimate the next day. Gave good, clear options and prices. The next day he picked up, brought, and installed a top new toilet and removed the old, rusted broken one. He also gave estimates on faucet repairs or replacements, which we will have him do for us soon."

"Job went well on granite install... still wrapping up tile work on backsplash. Installers took time... luckily my husband works from home.. it’s been about 2 weeks."

"I honestly am not sure whether Busy Bees merits a B or a D-, as I don't know much about how these services normally work. So I will tell the story, and you can decide. I made the appointment to have my vents cleaned because I purchased a Groupon for the service. The appointment was for 10:00. Busy Bees (Anthony) called around 10:00 to let me know he was running late. I had scheduled two other workers for the same day (so that I would only have to take one day off work), so this meant he would be bumping into another contractor, but we managed to work around it. When he arrived, Anthony informed me that the Groupon wouldn't really cover what I needed, which was some sort of power wash through the whole system. He pointed out the brick dust in my vents. It felt a little like a bait and switch, but the brick dust was apparent and I have no idea how one goes about cleaning such a system, so I agreed. I have never priced this service, but the price did--and does--seem reasonable. Anthony and his son were very friendly and worked with me to try to find a way to perform the service without letting my cats escape (the front door had to be propped open). They were efficient and seemed to do the job pretty quickly. When they left, I was tied up with another worker, so it wasn't until everyone was gone that I walked around the house and discovered that most of the vent covers had not been replaced. One was dangling from the ceiling from one screw, ready to fall on my head. I got a screwdriver and went around the house and put the vent covers back on. The next time I turned the heat on--a couple weeks later, as it was still warm when Busy Bees did the work--I heard a loud rattling noise. I determined that it was coming from one of the vents. I took off the cover and fished around and tried to figure out what the problem was, but I could not. So I called Anthony, who said he would call me back and make an appointment. I waited a week and called again; apparently he had forgotten, but he did schedule an appointment with me right then--and he agreed to a morning appointment so I wouldn't have to miss too much work. He moved another appointment so that he could arrive at 9:00 AM. Ironically, though, when 9:00 the day of the appointment arrived, no Anthony. I waited for about half an hour and then called. Apparently I had been left off the schedule. He did then come over as quickly as he could and was apologetic (but of course, I still missed half a day of work). He and his son checked out the rattling noise and decided it was coming from the third floor vent--and that they were not responsible. The only diagnosis he could make was that the air pressure was so much better now that the system was clean that the air was now moving some loose object that was already there. The only way to get the noise to stop is to leave the vent wide open, which means that all the heat shoots straight up to the third floor, where it's much too hot, and the rest of the house remains cold (anyone with a three-story row home will understand). Or I have to put up with the rattling noise, which is what I do. So overall, I'm quite sorry that I paid nearly $300 to have my heating system work less well than it did before. Is is Busy Bees' fault? And were they running a scam with the Groupon, using it to get a foot in the door and then sell more expensive services? Or is Anthony an honest man, and I just had a bad experience? You'll have to read other reviews and decide for yourselves. Even if he's honest, though, the service still rates a low B at best.

Update: The banging/rattling noise finally stopped on its own, so I'm going to up my overall grade to a "B," as I can finally use my HVAC again without being driven insane by the noise. Apparently whatever happened, it wasn't permanent damage."

"George and his crew did an outstanding job! They were prompt, courteous, professional and really seemed to enjoy their work. George came to meet with us to estimate the work and provided us a quote within 1 business day. From estimate to completion, the team completed the job in 5 business days.
After day 1 we didn't like one of the colors we had chosen after seeing it on the walls. We talked with George about it and he was very accommodating, and just wanted to make sure we would be happy with the final results. This was a big change, but George only charged us for the cost of replacing the paint.
Overall, we were extremely happy with the quality of the work and would highly recommend George's painting to others!

"I am so lucky to work with Mr. Murat and his crew to renew my kitchen, bathroom. It was great experience, they showed professionalism the moment they got into my house. Very responsive, delivered as promised. They also did couple extra work with no charge even it was not included in initial estimate. To be honest, things went better then my expectations. We also continued living in the house while construction happening. Me and wife thought it would be a nightmare but they collaborated very well and we did not have any major issues. Definitely would suggest working with him. Hope he will be around if I would need any other help..."

"I previously had purchased wall-to-wall from the Floor Covering Center for the main level floor and three flights of stairs/landings in my home. Ahmad, in the Rockville store, had helped me with that purchase approximately 10 years ago.  I was so pleased that I then recommended Ahmad/Floor Covering Center to a close friend who also purchased carpeting and ceramic tile flooring with Ahmad's help.  Ten years later, the wall-to-wall still looked nearly new, but the bedroom level carpeting, the original carpeting installed in 1983, showed every minute of its 30 years.  Also, there was a bleach incident on the stairs near the bedroom level which needed repair.  With a remnant piece of the carpeting bought in 2003, I went to the Floor Covering Center.  There was Ahmad, who gave me the bad news that the carpet I bought previously was no longer manufactured, and the good news that Mohawk was making a better carpet that was very similar in appearance.  I found a color that matched pretty closely, and ordered carpeting for the upstairs master bedroom.  The price was very reasonable.  I then decided to add to the order and have Ahmad measure the main floor area to replace the sheet vinyl in the kitchen and the 10 yo carpet in the dining room with hardwood.  I asked Ahmad if he could re-use the dining room carpet in the smallest bedroom and closet.  He agreed and also suggested and pointed out items to consider, recommending that the baseboards be replaced.  The price was within my budget so the flooring was ordered.  A few days later I called Ahmad and asked him how much would it cost to change the order if the entire main floor was redone with hardwood and new baseboards.  He re-calculated the cost and then added in new carpet for the second bedroom into the whole deal.  This additional change increased the overall price by only a third, but it effectively provided new flooring for two levels of my home, instead of four rooms, now six rooms, hall and some steps would be redone. 
The workmen came on time.  A carpet crew and a wood floor crew worked simultaneously and quickly, beginning around 9 a.m.  The carpet crew was done by 2 p.m. or so.  Before cutting the living room carpet, they asked how much I wanted to keep, if any.  They cut so as to provide enough carpeting to bind off into area rugs.  The wood flooring crew cut all pieces on site and were finished-- including baseboards, before 5 p.m.  Both crews were respectful in my home, used the designated bathroom, kept me informed of progress and asked me questions to make sure I was satisfied.  Each crew cleaned up and vacuumed after themselves inside and outside (where they ended up setting up a cutting area-- in 90+ degree heat).  They also returned the few pieces of furniture that were moved back to where I asked them to be replaced.
I would use The Floor Covering Center again and would recommend them to any friends looking to spruce up their flooring.

"I didn’t have high expectations because I just moved in a new place. For 189 dollars, no one would do that. It was fine. "

"It was well done and the finished product was nice. The price was affordable."

"EXCELLENT PROFESSIONAL SERVICE!  Called them cold on a Sunday night from my DC home to repair many shingle caps that had blown off the peak of our roof of our townhome in OC- I could see daylight from the attic and the insulation was wet.  They were on my roof Monday morning, in the rain, fixing it completely.  They took before and after photos on the roof so I could see exactly what they had done. They also replaced a cracked vent pipe boot. 
Very easy to deal with, good communications, knowledgeable and professional.

Accurate Upgrades arrived and conducted the initial estimate to fix the ceiling and upgrade the stair railing to a half-wall. Nino DeVito was courteous and honestly answered all of our questions and concerns. Nino provided details of exactly what the jobs would entail and stated he believed it would be a two day job.

The job was completed on time and within budget. The ceiling is flush and no one would be able to tell their was ever a hole in the ceiling. The half-wall was exactly what we wanted and looks beautiful. It blends in with the remaining stairwell perfectly.  My wife and I are not afraid that small children (or an adult that had one too many) will fall over the railing.  The job was completed within two days as stated. The team completely cleaned up all of the mess and matched the paint to the existing walls/ceiling.

We will use Accurate Upgrades in the future. You can see pictures of the repairs done to our house on their facebook page: Accurate Upgrades, LLC.
