Get matched with top second story addition builders in Takoma Park, MD

"Initial rep was great and informative. Felt comfortable with initial sale. Hardly had any contact from customer service except for the payments. There were several delays that we were not informed about unless we called to ask. Took 7 months before they showed up to begin project. Only 1 person was sent to build steps. Took a week. Hard worked, hardly took a break. Had to call again to see when they would come to pour patio. Never knew when they were coming, they just showed up. Hardly spoke with the homeowners. Inspection paperwork was just left on porch. Additional paperwork that is "required by the County" had to be completed by homeowner and taken to Court house to be notarized and filed and also provide a copy back to Long Fence. Time sensitive materials which added to homeowners to-do list. Gave this contract to LF on the surface of their history and appearance of a 'good local company' but should have stayed with original contactors in VA. Puddle of water forms when it rains"

"American Custom Contractors did an outstanding job replacing the roof, woodwork, trim, and gutters on our historic 1910 home. The ACC work crews, including carpenters, roofers, and gutter specialists, were highly skilled and experienced. Yanni Agouridis, our project consultant, was extremely helpful in working out the details of the engagement at the outset. Blase Skully, project supervisor and quality assurance manager, was always available to answer many questions and provide advice as we refined the scope of work and the project progressed. He made sure they delivered exactly what we were seeking to accomplish. Blase was also sensitive to ensuring that the historic look of the house was maintained and enhanced by the materials they used and the work they did. The result is beautiful. We get many complements on our new roof and gutters. We highly recommend American Custom Contractors."

"Stay away from this company. Originally, I provided a positive review. The crew was prompt, courteous, and hardworking. However, a couple of months after the painting of my house, some problems started surfacing. Nails they supposedly pulled out and replaced with screws, started popping out again. The owner insists these are new nail pops, but they aren't. All the current nail pops are essentially in the exact same areas as the previous nail pops. Additionally, other problems, like separations between pieces of dry wall that they repaired are again starting to separate and lines/grooves between the pieces are developing in several ceiling areas. I contacted the owner for warranty service. He originally agreed to do repairs, but then suddenly changed his mind. He now refuses to do any warranty work at all even though the contract states that the workmanship is warranted for one year. The contract also specifically states that all pop nails would be removed and screws put in their place. This didn't happen. The owner claims it did. However, other than coming to my house to collect the deposit before the work commenced and then again once the work was done to collect the final payment, he never stopped by to inspect the work. There was absolutely no supervision on his part. So, he really has no idea of what the workers actually did. I have started legal action against the company"

"A & E did a great job renovating our rowhome basement. Eric was very easy to communicate with. They were scrupulous in bringing it up to code and creative in coming up with solutions that met our needs and worked for the space. Would certainly hire again."

"I met Dominic over twenty years ago. We had purchased a newly constructed home a few years prior. The end of our driveway was sinking and the builder failed to back its work. I contacted Dominic. He reviewed the condition and indicated that he could take care of it for us. I found him to be extremely knowledgeable, an excellent communicator, concise, professional & personable. Consequently, his team was extremely efficient. This work required excavation, new pavement. They did more than I expected, in less time than I expected and less costly than I expected. This winter we damaged the end of our driveway. I called Dominic. He inspected the driveway, provided a detailed scope of work to include repairs we identified and action which he explained would prevent future repair. I anticipated a Spring start date. He said, we’ll wait for a break in the weather, and take care of this for us. Again, they did more than I expected, in less time and less cost than I expected. As the work was completed in less than desirable weather conditions, he said he would check back in the Spring to ensure the quality met his standards. As promised, yesterday they reviewed a few superficial spots at the entrance of the drive but, true to his nature, he instructed his team to reseal the entire driveway. I am sure you will agree, finding this breadth of generational knowledge, quality, efficiency and trust is a very rare find these days. All that said; he’s just a pleasure to do business with! Apologies for rambling-on but, trust me; I could go on… :)"
