"KF was phenomenal. They responded to my inquiry promptly and provided the products and services exactly as advertised. Kelvin is a true professional who made sure he understood what my needs were before he quoted me a price and agreed to the work. They arrived on time and Gilmer began work immediately. The removal of the old garage parts and accessories went smoothly and Gilmer explained everything he was doing and provided information on what went wrong with the old garage system. As he went to install the new garage system he also walked me through what he was installing and how it's all connected to the system. I felt comfortable with the entire process. Long story short, the door is amazing and everything works great. The company even went so far as to notice a small discrepancy with the rod and volunteered to replace it the next day. This is a true testament to their workmanship guarantee and stellar attention to the smallest of details. I would definitely hire them again and I strongly recommend KF (Kelvin and Gilmer) for your garage and/or home improvement needs."

"STAY AWAY!!!! This Company cancelled the initial estimate on me 3 times making me drive 90 minutes to the property each time. They finally showed and gave me the typical hard sell "if you sign the contract today..." They gave us a quote so far over market value we should have walked away. But we agreed because of the "70 year history in the industry" We thought we were buying a service from a company with integrity. They took an immediate $18K deposit on a $55K project. I know, shame on me for agreeing to such an amount. We knew we were over spending, but... One month later, they simply cancelled the contract without explanation and without any work on the project. This contract was binding on us but, in their words, was not binding on them because "there's a clause in the fine print that allows them to cancel" THEY STILL HAVE OUR MONEY and I STILL NEED A ROOF Stay away from this company. No integrity No responsibility Unreliable Over priced Will take your money and keep it"

Our certified professional plumbers are available same day to assist residential customers in Anne Arundel County, Baltimore City, Baltimore County, Carroll County, Cecil County, Harford County, and Howard County. Our knowledgeable plumbers have years of experience dealing with a wide variety of plumbing issues including plumbing repairs, drain cleaning, water heaters, well systems, heating systems, sewer, water, and gas lines. We’re open 7 days a week with no extra charge on evenings or weekends!
"UPDATE: My previous review still stands from a couple years ago for that specific plumber only - but my most recent experience has been a nightmare. Will never recommend this company ever again. They definitely have changed since my last experience. Not only did the plumber they sent (12/9/24) not do anything to make any effort to clear a clog ( I won’t be petty and provide a name, even though I should) - after signing agreements and I asked if I should pay now -he said I probably should so he could get started - I know I should’ve just sent him on his way, but wanted to get this fixed (astronomical for what was -or in this case wasn’t done- and was told that prices had gone up a lot since my previous experience). He also had to inform me that normally they send the new guys to do this type of work ( implying unclogging drains was beneath his “expertise “). Then proceeded to tell me he was convinced it was a collapsed drain (after snaking the drain for less than a few mins)and that I probably had water flooding under the foundation said he needed to get a hold of their camera guy to be sure - he went to his truck to call him came back in, about 20-25 mins later to tell me he couldn’t get a hold of their camera guy and left a message for him. He then said he would try one more time with the snake - did the same amount of effort as the first time and said we would have to wait until he could get a camera down there and that we would have to let the drain dry out a bit so it would probably be the following week. Packed up his stuff and said I should call him in an hour to see if he heard from the camera guy (why should I do the calling for follow up??) When he left, he seemed to struggle backing out and damaged our lawn (have security camera footage). I called the company the next day and was sent to voicemail (left a message that said I had some concerns but didn’t leave a lot of detail) and was told that I should hear from someone that day - I did not. Called the next day and was told by the supervisor of the phone people that the phone person should have told me it was 24-48 hours before a manager would respond and she would not allow me to speak to anyone else. I did not hear back from anyone in 72 hrs, so I called back and then was told that the manager was out (conveniently). I gave up calling them and called another plumbing company who fixed the issue in a short amount of time (no collapsed drain, just a good ol’ clog). Decided to call Len the Plumber one more time ( 12/23/24) 2 weeks AFTER my original call and was told that there was a note in my file that said the mgr did call 3 days prior to this call (there had been no conversation or missed calls or voicemail received by me - so either he called a wrong number or this was a lie) and in the notes the mgr (Brian, I was told by the phone person)stated that I was told about the pricing and that was it. Not sure where he got his information of what he thought my issue was, since I didn’t leave a lot of info when I spoke to the phone people other than it was frustrating to be told I would get a call in 24-48 hrs. This last phone person said she would send an email to all managers with my concerns and would hope someone would assist. No response. (12/28/24). Think twice before using this company. It has changed ownership twice since the original owner- history has shown as ownership changes in companies , so do priorities and not to the benefit of the customers."

PVI Group is your one-call solution for a wide range of home improvement, maintenance and repair and lawn care needs. Our licensed professionals are known for the quality of our workmanship and professional reliability so you know the job will be done correctly and efficiently.
"Corey was terrific. He came to give the quote for new front porch poured concrete stairs, walkway, and a retaining wall with brick on the front face of the wall. The price was a little higher than other bids, but he presented the most professional ideas, demonstrated experience, and we were very confident with PVI. His crew was great, and they did a beautiful job. It was finished last November just before the weather got cold. We asked him back in the spring to trim up some of the concrete edges when were doing some landscaping and he came back out and finished it off. We are very happy with the work, and would definitely recommend."

While venting a range hood outside is optimal for removing heat, smoke, odors, and grease, it's not always required. Ductless range hoods use filters to clean the air before recirculating it back into the kitchen. However, vented (also called ducted) hoods are more effective at maintaining a clean, safe kitchen environment.
No, a vented hood is not legally required for a gas range. However, installing a vented range hood above your gas range removes concentrated odors, fumes, and grease from your kitchen air and promotes a safer, cleaner cooking environment. This installation improves air quality and aligns with safety guidelines while ensuring that harmful particles are effectively expelled from your home.
To capture cooking emissions efficiently, you must install your range hood at a specified height above the cooktop. For electric stoves, mount the hood 24 inches above the cooktop; for gas appliances, secure it 30 inches high. This precise installation ensures optimal performance and complies with safety and building codes while maximizing the unit’s effectiveness.
Yes, you must install a range hood over an electric stove because these appliances generate smoke, heat, and airborne particles during cooking. A range hood improves air quality by drawing out combustion fumes and odors, ensuring a comfortable and safe kitchen environment. A professional installation guarantees precise positioning and compliance with local safety codes.
Smooth galvanized metal ducting is the optimal choice for range hood installations because it delivers maximum airflow and durability. This material efficiently transports heat, grease, and odors out of your kitchen while meeting local building codes. Avoid flexible or corrugated ducting, which restricts airflow and compromises safety. Consulting a range hood installation professional ensures correct duct selection and installation for superior performance.
When installed and maintained correctly, a range hood is designed to last between 10 and 20 years. Regular cleaning of its exterior, interior, and filters is essential to remove grease buildup and preserve performance. Establish a disciplined maintenance routine and engage professional cleaning services to extend the unit’s lifespan and uphold optimal safety standards.
