Get matched with top sunroom or patio enclosure builders in Essex, MD

"Our new sunroom is impressive, beautiful craftsmanship, amazing attention to detail, replacing an old sunroom. All the windows were wiped clean before they left as well as the ceiling. The windows slide effortlessly. We had a gutter issue and they came up with a creative idea to manage the water. Our neighbors are stopping to see it. We chose the windows floor to ceiling and you can see the ornamental grass through it, a beautiful look. The installers were friendly and easy to talk with. We love it! Highly recommended! A++"

"I'm very pleased with Ted Naydan. He explained/showed me his credentials/license before starting. He took the time to show me all information from start to finish. I went to Patio Enclosures and Ted gave me a tour of the Sun-Rooms & the place of business at Patio Enclosures. He worked with me on a budget that I could afford on getting my room. I would most recommend him as first choice if anyone is seeking to have an add on to their home."

"Positives: The design work was great. We spoke with several kitchen companies before deciding to go with VKB, and Joe, the designer we worked with, put the most effort into hearing what our goals were and creating a creative plan for us. He was knowledgeable and helpful, and had a good eye to notice things that we hadn’t considered. He also offered helpful suggestions regarding cabinets, countertops, paint colors, etc. We were happy with the finished product. Negatives: The biggest issue we encountered was a lack of communication. We discussed various issues with the designer, but these frequently were not communicated to the actual workers doing the job. For instance, when the workers showed up on the first day, they didn’t actually have the plans for what was being done with the kitchen, and we had to explain the job to them. Joe offered to add lighting inside our closet, and we contacted him and said to go ahead and do it, but that information was not communicated to the workers until it was really too late, so it was never done. Sometimes it was 48 hours before we would hear back from Joe when we contacted him with a question during the process of the remodel. Because a lot can happen in two work days, this was sometimes problematic. The second issue we encountered was that when speaking about the project beforehand, words like “plumber” and “electrician” were used, but no plumbers or electricians were actually employed; general contractors did all the work. As a result, we felt uneasy about the quality of the work that was being done. For instance, the evening after our sink was hooked up, it came disconnected while we were using it, with the result that water was spewing all over our under-sink cabinet until my husband reconnected everything properly. Additionally, the cabinet seal on our dishwasher was installed backwards so that the rubber flap was sticking out. (They fixed this upon request.) Issues like these make us feel uneasy, and we weren’t confident that the work we couldn’t see or notice right away was done right. We wish that an actual plumber had been hired to do the work, as we had expected, or at least that it had been clear up front that this would be the case. Finally, we felt that the workers who were actually doing the job were sometimes careless toward our home. For instance, they piled tools and trash on our back patio, but in the process knocked over a plant and crushed flowers in our flower bed. They got paint smudges on a wooden shelving unit in the kitchen while painting. Similarly, certain details of the job were missed until we pointed them out. The finished product came out well, but we aren’t sure it would have if we had not been carefully supervising. (For instance, they forgot to run an electrical line for the oven until we reminded them, and a different faucet than we had selected was installed. These issues were always corrected once we pointed them out, but we were surprised that mistakes like this were made.)"

"The reason I gave it a 'B' is because they also sold us a screen 'room' to attach to the awning which zippers which sounds like a good idea but we only set it up once and never again because it is so complicated. We should not have bought that but the awning we love and would not want to do without it."

"They did a great job installing a patio door for us. The owners were quick to respond to any questions we had and were very easy to work with. Highly recommend."

"I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed working with Shawn and Creative Equity Builders. From the meeting with us at his supplier to select our materials to the care and attention to details as the renovation proceeded, Shawn and his team made our project unique. Clearly impressive was Shawn's artistic flair with the design of our smaller bathroom. Creative Equity Builders' design and build go beyond the what you would expect from a local contractor.

"<p><br /></p> <p>Wenkat Design built my addition seven years ago and I would have no other contractor do extensive work in my home.  I'm a builder?s daughter and know when I'm getting quality work.  Brian Flick does quality work.  He is honest, professional and courteous.  He lets you know what will work and what won't work.  He makes sure the job you want him to do is done right.  He worked closely with me during every phase of the project from conception to design, and through working and completion.  Every morning he let me know what he was going to work on that day and gave me a re-cap every evening.   As with most 55-year old homes there were hidden problems behind the wall boards.  Brian analyzed the problem, applied the right solution and still managed to complete the job on time.  The final product was absolutely amazing.   All sub-contractors Brian uses abide by the same code of standards and ethics as Brian, which means the high same high quality of work.  None better!</p> <br />"

"The "project manager" who was also the salesman promised  that project could start in June but actual start date was not until September.  We chose Patio Enclosures  because they indicated they could start before our first choice contractor but that turned out to not be true.  The carpenter who actually directed the crew and did the work was dependable and did good work.  The sun room generally met our expectations as to quality  except for the windows.  Patio Enclosures is associated with Stanek Windows and the Stanek windows do not measure up to those of competitors  windows in some respects.  The casement type windows that were required to be tempered glass show distortion along the edges.  The distortion  is the first thing that is noticed when one looks into the room detracting from an otherwise attractive room.  Patio enclosures claims it is a result of the manufacturing process for tempered glass and that nothing can be done to correct the defects.  As a side note the tempered glass Andersen windows that we have show no such distortion.  Some of the latches on the windows failed at installation and another failed just this evening when closing the window. <br />"

"I had an addition to our patio done. Jose and help did a WONDERFUL job. They lined it up with the previous patio. They were on time and curtious to our property. Price was right. Did a great job with clean up. They were very friendly and Good communication the whole time. If I have any more jobs I would contact them again."

"Laura installed pavers in our backyard. I appreciate that she was the <br /> only person who gave us an estimated that encouraged us to not tear up <br /> the old cement patio and use it as a base. She was also the only one to <br /> provide a drawing with the original estimate. Laura was very <br /> responsive and prompt. Loved being able to communicate with her via <br /> email and of course we love the end result. Would definitely use her in <br /> the future <br />"
