"I called multiple roofing vendors. Most would companies could not be bothered with considering doing a small job. While Walter Brown did not do the original install of my roof, but they definitely did not hesitate to offer to help. From Alicia who answered the phone to Tyler and Lisa who helped getting me on the schedule. Lisa, Tyler - thank you. If I need any type roofing services in the future, I will not hesitate to call Walter Brown. Thanks again."

"Jose Rodriguez was a basic carpenter. He used up 1/2 hour purchasing materials and I had to go with him to pay for them rather than reimburse him for the items. He had to pay him for the rest of the work which ended up costing over $300 for basic work that any handyman could have done. He left the wooden beam support with bracing and could not return until two days later and I was concerned that my large dog might get injured if she moved this. He left a heavy 2 foot 4x4 in my basement near the air conditioner; he also left the rotted roof support beam on my property which I had to dispose of. I kept the unused and cut wood that was purchased as I could cut it and re-use it elsewhere. I recently hired a real carpenter for replacement of my shed doors and he was a true skilled professional who came to my house and measured the wood needed and hardware and purchased the materials and had an assistant to help him do the work which was an excellent job. Quite a difference. Had I known I would have hired him to do the other work done previously and the cost for his work was at a much better price than the Angie's List "pro". No more Angie's List pros for me. Wherever do you find them and how do they get an A rating?"

"I gave them a B on price, because it wasn't anything spectacular, but it was certainly fair. After a week or so, it rained and we saw there was a slight leak on the gutters. Mr. McGavin came by on July 4th and fixed it."

"Once again, AMS Home Remodeling, Frank, was able to clean up my mess. After ordering a closet organizer unit online. I made the mistake of hiring another company to install the units - 3 total (2 reach in and 1 master). This original company did not know what they were doing and caused me nothing but more problems (i.e. holes in walls, damaged pieces from closet unit that needed to be replaced, etc). Frank was able to make time in his all ready busy schedule to come out to take a look at the mess. He was able to get me into the schedule and complete the install and all repairs from previous contractors by the end of the week. Frank and his crew (Bruno plus 1) did more than an outstanding job. Final product is amazing. I have used AMS Home Remodeling for a complete makeover in my home and I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for an honest dependable contractor. I absolutely LOVE these guys.
Frank - thank you!!!!

"We just completed renovations to our 24 year old master bathroom in Owings Mill, Maryland. Our experience with Ruxton Design and Build was a positive one from beginning to end. We were interested in a complete demolition of our existing bathroom and replacement of everything - flooring, walls, fixtures, cabinets, lights, etc. We obtained three estimates from reputable local companies - one that advertises quite a bit on the local radio, a second from our town that is local and has quite nice Angie's list reviews, and Ruxton Design and Build. We had not heard of Ruxton Design but were impressed at the consistency and quality of the Angie's list reviews. Although a bit further from Owings Mills than the other two, we asked them to prepare a bid. As it turns out, the first company does good work but prices were quite high and we didn't see a quality difference in their materials or worksmanship. The second company does beautiful work and may have even been competitive with Ruxton but their attention to us during the bidding phase was quite lacking and their proposal basically a sketch on an 8.5 x 11 inch sheet with some vague specs.
Ruxton did an amazing job from the bidding process to working through our final punch list. Frank, Ruxton's owner, was over within a week of our query to make all measurements. About a week later, we met him in his beautiful business in Sparks, Maryland. Frank was totally prepared for our visit with full architectual plans and 3D virtual models of his design which we reviewed in his office on a large flat panel TV. Just seeing how his proposal was going to look was extremely helpful. His proposal was detailed, included excellent materials. Within a week of the initial presentation, after going back and forth on design options and details, we were signed the contract and placed our down payment. We found the price to be quite fair and everything they installed was top quality. We were offered start dates of about six weeks from signing (to allow materials, especially the cabinets, to come in) but elected to schedule 12 weeks later in February 2016 so that our kids were back to college when the work started (we don't share the hall bathroom nicely!). Michele was extremely helpful taking us through the selection process and Nicole in the front office facilitated every step of the planning process. Their team was extremely organized maintaing a spreadsheet with all selections, details of any price differences from the allowances, etc. We were able to make most of our selections from their showroom but they were okay if we got any of the materials from outside (for example, we obtained the granite from a local granite distributor that they recommended and hardware from the fantastic Clement True value Hardware Store in Severna Park, Maryland). The demolition and construction process went quite smoothly. They parked a dumpster on the side of our house hidden from the street and completed demolition in the first week. Frank had estimated up to six weeks and the work was completed on time. The site forman, Chris, is a perfectionist and made sure everything was done to the tee and in a few cases, simply redid any work that wasn't just right. Ruxton makes use of outside contractors for dry wall, electrical and the plumbers and we were very happy with everyone that came into our house. On the last day of construction we presented our punch list to them. The following day, Chris was by early to review the punch list, make a run to his suppliers and knocked off the entire list that day. As you can tell from this glowing review, we are extremely satisfied customers and in spite an occasional hiccup along the way, Frank, Chris and the Ruxton team always got things right and at the end, we are blown away by our new bathroom. We understand that they don't advertise, mostly word of mouth, which is enough to keep them busy. Their very nice reviews on Angie's list are well-deserved. Every one from Ruxton was always entirely professional and easy to work with. What better recommendation can I give than to say that when Frank came over for the final walk-through, we had him take a look at our 24 year-old hall bathroom, a smaller scale project, and hope to get that work done in the next several months.

"They did a very good job. In the process of repairing the woodwork they broke a piece of the patio door glass and so I ended up replacing it but it took some time before I had them doing it. I ended up hiring him again for roof work this time and am having issues with the railing that was installed in the flat roof. They have been unresponsive in terms of answering calls and emails."
