Baltimore General Contractors

"I waited 20 years to do this project because of the horror stories I heard from friends and acquaintances who suffered through remodeling projects. My experience with made the wait worthwhile. My journey started by reviewing Angie?s List for companies that did bathroom renovations that had ?A? ratings in several recent reports. ...more It was not until I met with

that I learned that not all A-rated companies are created equally, so read the member comments thoroughly.

doesn?t give estimates that are based on allowances. He had me do my homework to select tiles and fixtures and then gave me an itemized estimate. As an accountant, I was absolutely delighted! I knew exactly what I was getting.

?t worry,

will give you as much guidance as you need to make the right choices. I was most impressed by his dedication in helping me with my tile selection and layout. He saw that getting the effect I wanted would present challenges and he worked with the tile manufacturer and developed a solution. And this was done BEFORE he gave me his estimate and I signed the contract. I couldn?t think of anyone investing this much effort before getting a signed deal. Once

and his crew are in your home, they make every effort to protect your furnishings and contain dust. Furniture was covered; my hardwood floors were protected and dust barriers installed and the job site was cleaned every day. Look, in every construction site a little dust will fly, but on a

job, you won?t be living in a blizzard of construction dust.

has exacting standards for his crew. If he doesn?t like what he sees, it gets re-done until it?s done right. For example, the tile

on my project worked all weekend to

the mosaic floor, but when

saw it on Monday, he said it wasn?t up to his standard so the tile was taken up and re-laid. There was also problem with the stain on the closet doors that

addressed promptly and thoroughly.

encourages his clients to tell him if they think things aren?t quite right. He calls everyday to see how things are going. If you?re not happy with something, tell him. He will make it good; he treats you like you are his most important client. At the very end of the job I noticed that his carpenter forgot to fill the nail holes on the new closet casing. I mentioned it to

as a joke since I had filler pencils and could easily fill them myself.

insisted that his carpenter come back and fill them.

is a firm believer in the job isn?t over until the customer is completely satisfied. He tolerates no loose ends. I had a fantastic experience working with

and his crew. The bathroom turned out great; it takes my breath away. The closet he built looks like it?s always been there. Now that I know I will be in good hands working with

, I?m looking forward to starting on my kitchen renovation!"

"I emailed and responded within an hour or two. He gave me several appointment options. On the appointed day, he called to say he would be early. He listened carefully, asked appropriate questions, and gave me estimates for the labor. He was prompt and polite. Based upon the estimate, we decided to put these projects on hold ...more in favor of doing other projects. I would contact

again."

"We have a slate roof and copper gutters that were damaged badly in February. The slate tiles had snowguards attached, which were dragged down by the 38" of snow, taking over 80 tiles and the gutters down with them. We were away for much of March so we waited awhile to file a claim. came out last month and gave us a prompt estimate ...more which was significantly more than the insurance company first estimated. As it turns out, the insurance company came out in the rain and didn't get a good look at the damage.

dealt directly with the insurance company, who quickly agreed to his price. After they agreed he ordered the parts and was out within a couple weeks working on the roof. I can't say enough good things about

. He does beautiful work - the roof and gutters look better than ever. He really went over and above the call of duty. For example, he moved existing tiles around to make the color pattern seem more uniform. He repaired a long length of rotted fascia board for free. He went back and rewelded a piece of the copper gutter because he didn't like the color of the original weld! I never would have noticed that - not in a million years. He treats the house as if its his own. In fact, the work spanned a weekend so he came over early Sunday morning and took down the ladders and scaffolding so we wouldn't have to look at it all day. Wow. I was so happy I've already arranged for him to build a deck on the back of the house this summer."

"Never looked at the area that required roof repair, never looked at the existing door frame to size it and was able give me a quote of a couple of thousand dollars. He indicated that he was busy. Well if you're busy that's fine...I would have preferred if he indicated that he was too busy to take on a job that would require a full day for him and ...more his team. I've done this work in the past and I understand that its more labor intensive than material intensive. I would him rather have giving me a statement of work outlining cost and what he was going to do...Unless you have a small job that requires an hour or two of work, I don't think he is the right person for the job."

"I was pleased with the work. It was tough to get a firm estimate, but overall, the work was good. They were able to get the project done in one day."

"I am in the process of restoring an old house, and there was quite a bit of work to be done. I needed a new storage shed to house my yard supplies, so I contacted to provide one. They arrived very promptly, and they were able to build a very nice storage shed that they placed in the backyard. The work was of top quality, and ...more the shed is very solid. Overall, I was very happy with the work and the workers alike."

" is a joy to work with. He is professional; timely with estimates; arrives when he says he will; kept me informed each step of the way; completed the job right on schedule; uses only very competent subs (plumbers and electricians) and does very high quality work. He has been in business for years - 20 or 30? - in the Catonsville ...more area and is extremely well regarded in the community. He is still busy while many remodelers are searching for work - so plan on waiting for him to be free! He also did a beautiful tiling job of my backsplash in the kitchen. I will definitely call him again next year when I add on to my lower level."

"Great! I called , he came out the next day to give me an estimate, his price was better than others. He came out within the week to do the windows. I started a second contract with him to hang the doors, for which he even came out on a shorter notice (I had planned to have another company do the work, but they failed to complete ...more the work on time). He did a great job, was clean, professional, and I'm very happy with the work. I plan to have him do more work for me. He was also very flexible about allowing me to provide my own materials and gave suggestions about how to design the projects. Further, he even told me how to do a few things easily myself. Overall, he seems honest, fair, quick, and clean. I can't say enough good things."
