"Cristian was excellent! He arrived even a bit early and masterfully tackled the assembly and installation of my daughter’s new complicated wooden outdoor playset. He was polite and very professional. We plan on hiring him again for more projects!"

"We needed to hand rails installed at the entrances of our home for safety. The communication and entire process from first conversation to installation was very fast. The work was done well and we are so appreciative!"

"Very easy to set up appointment.  Owner patiently answered all my questions and suggested best configurations.  Technician showed up on time.
I did not rate A for quality because 1) installation technician did not clean up. I had to sweep the garage floor multiple times to remove wire pieces, and most annoyingly, many staples used to secure wires on the wall.  2) although all three doors were tuned during installation, one of them began to have loud squeaking noises after one month.  I finally contacted the company three months after installation about the noise issue.  They sent technicians out on the same day and fixed it for me.
Overall, I will highly recommend this company.

"I rated AHC a C and a fairer rating would have been somewhere between a B- and a C+. I got a number of estimates for a roof replacement, and their proposal was in the middle. The salespeople were professional and reliable. The work was done in one day and on the date promised, and I was pleased until we experienced our first hard rain one evening and a leak appeared in a sunroom. I called immediately, got a voicemail message and did not hear back from anyone until midday the next day. The leak was finally fixed after two subsequent repair efforts and a good bit of water damage to the ceiling of the sunroom. A month later, and after many emails and myI withholding part of my final payment for the roof, AHC brought in some folks to sand and stain the roof. I fault them for some shoddy workmanship resulting in the leak and then being slow to fix the problem and repair the damage."

"We could not be more pleased with E&R's service.  The staff including the sales team, the installers, and the owner were all top notch, highly professional, and highly responsive.  The work was done carefully and thoroughly, without mistakes.  It looks terrific -- better than we expected.  There was a small technical problem due to the shape of our roof, and rather than guess at the answer the president got his advisors from the manufacturer and the distributor involved to figure out the best approach and instructions for the installers.  We would recommend E&R to anyone.

"Just had a 70" Samsung TV mounted above my fireplace using the mm540 Mantle Mount with fully articulating, drop-down, hydraulic arm with sound bar attachment. It fits perfectly above the mantle, and pulls down easily, allowing you to watch TV at eye-level instead of having to crane your neck! I did a lot of research and ended up going with T.E.A.M. Audio & Video out of Manassas. They sent 2 strong guys to do the job (Ralph and Kevin), and completed the entire installation in 1.5 hours. The men were very respectful; wore masks and booties on their feet, and cleaned up their mess once they were finished. They were even able to successfully install my Samsung Sound Bar despite some of the hardware missing from the box!! T.E.A.M. is a licensed vendor for Mantle Mount, which takes more skill to install than a standard, fixed wall mount device. It was obvious these guys knew what they were doing; they were quick, efficient, and made no mistakes. Ralph and Kevin also took their time to explain to me how to properly and safely use the Mantle Mount, and made sure that the TV and sound bar were working before they left. Scheduling with Christina via text was easy, and extremely quick. Following the visit, I received my electronic invoice within minutes. Great customer service. :) Very pleased with T.E.A.M. and would definitely recommend them."

FAQs for security bars service projects in Washington, DC

Window security bars create a physical barrier that discourages quick entry, making most intruders move on to an easier target. Properly installed bars can also help keep children and pets from accidental falls, giving homeowners added peace of mind. 

To maximize both safety and security, have a licensed professional install quick-release hardware that meets local egress requirements.

Installing window security bars is legal in most areas, but local building codes often require emergency-egress features and quick-release hardware. Some states and municipalities, including California, Mississippi, and Texas, prohibit permanently closed burglar bars to prevent occupants from becoming trapped in the event of a fire. 

Before installing window security bars, review local and state regulations for setback requirements, operable hardware, and fire safety compliance. This ensures your installation meets legal standards while keeping your home secure and accessible in the event of an emergency.

Window security bars enhance home safety features and appeal to buyers who prioritize protection. Properties with professionally installed window security bars often qualify for lower homeowners insurance premiums, offsetting some of the installation cost. This value boost is most pronounced in neighborhoods with higher crime rates, where buyers feel more secure. 

Choosing custom or decorative bars enhances your home's curb appeal, while quick-release mechanisms maintain emergency access, making your home both more marketable and safer.

To make window bars look attractive, select custom decorative designs that complement your home’s architectural style. Wrought iron bars with scrollwork, floral motifs, or geometric patterns can become an elegant focal point rather than a security eyesore. 

Incorporate planter boxes beneath your windows, allow climbing ivy to soften the lines, or apply a coordinating paint finish to blend bars with exterior colors. You can also install quick-release decorative panels or matching shutters that conceal bars when not in use, achieving both beauty and security.
