Get matched with top patio cover pros in Arnold, MD

"Tony and his team did a Fabulous job. The price was very reasonable. This was my hearts desire and dream come true! We are thoroughly enjoying our new aluminum roof cover over the deck, keeping the new deck and patio furniture protected and dry, during these very wet winter months, as well as in the summer months (to come). I am personally pleased, it has added to more space for our enjoyment, beauty and value to our home. Yes, we highly recommend Continental Home Insulators and we would certainly use them again."

"I contacted the company's local office repeatedly to get it repaired as a warranty-covered item.  I scheduled the date/time for the repair person to come (taking the day off work) and they did a "no-show" - no call, nothing. I contacted Champion locally and was brushed off with "the scheduler had the day off" -- not certain how that affects a service call scheduled several weeks prior and they offered no satisfactory explanation.  I attempted to schedule another day for the repair and was told that they only have one service/repair person for the entire suburban DC and Baltimore area and that they only service my area one day a week.  I decided to contact the main office and finally spoke with someone in customer service who said they would look into the situation and call me back -- this never happened. "

"It all started out well after purchase of the initial Angie's list deal.  We promptly agreed on a date and a gentlemen came to measure and start the paperwork. Install date was set for 11/5/15. On 11/4, I was called about setting an install date.  My response was I already had one for the next day. Long story short, the company did not bother to tell me they had cancelled my appointment, they just acted like I never had one.  It was as though one side of the business did not know what the other side was doing. Since I made arrangements to be home on the 5th, I was not happy.  We finally settled on the 12th and the installation went smoothly enough.  However after completion, I noticed the installers had broken a piece of moulding in front of the patio door.  I know they realized they cracked it because they used clear caulk as a fix. I called the company and they said they would replace.  As of 11/30, the moulding still has not been replaced even though I was told the installer was picking up molding on 11/17.
I will say the person who came to measure and the lady who did the follow-up calling were professional. However, I can't say the same for the install side. The contact person was nice enough but he did not contact me to say the install was cancelled and to me it's taking way too long to replace the molding the installers broke.  I view it as a lack of integrity to cover up breaking the piece and not bothering to say anything to me.  The patio door is beautiful and I had planned to purchase a front door from them but have changed my mind.

"Hammer and Nail contacted me within 10 minutes of my submission of an online request  for information. That right off the bat impressed me as two other contractors I contacted prior to Hammer and Nail never contacted me back even after I left them voice messages. Hammer and Nails sales rep Nikos came to my home and showed and explained to me all of my product choices and then spent a significant amount of time measuring and remeasuring the monster size door to be replaced.  Prior to my door order being submitted, another Hammer and Nail employee came to re-measure and confirm the original measurements. Due to the size of the door (and double screen doors) and transom it was pretty much a custom built door and it did take about 6 weeks for the door to be delivered from the Marvin factory but I was informed by Nikos that that would be the case and I had no objections to the time frame. Once the door arrived, the construction staff quickly scheduled installation. James and his install crews showed up exactly on time. James and his crew were very courteous and took great measures to protect my floors before demolition of the existing door. The guys did an excellent job of installing the new doors and transom. James himself made sure that the screen doors latched properly and that the doors were aligned perfectly. The crew used spray float insulation instead of cramming in little pieces of fiberglass insulation. The crew did a great job caulking the walls inside and out and cleaned up after themselves before they left. I am so pleased by this experience with Hammer and Nail that I will be calling them in the near future to replace my basement door.

"They drywall was done just fine, he covered up all the cracks and cleaned up afterwards."

"Excellent! I asked him to quote me on how much it would cost to replace a window and he actually drove all the way to my house to see for himself. The window was replaced that same day. The price he billed me was a third of the price that I was quoted from two other repairmen."

Dave Bennington and his crew exceeded all of my expectations.  In short, he and his crew were meticulous, efficient, highly skillful, prompt, patient, responsive, and polite.  While renovating my condo, they kept dust and dirt to minimum.  At the end of each work day, they neatly stored their tools and the construction materials.  Dave did a lot of the work himself.  He or his crew were on site at key moments, e.g., to supervise the flooring and granite counter installations.

The granite, flooring, carpeting, and plumbing fixture vendors that Dave recommended provided excellent service and products.  I was at home during most of the renovation; consequently, I was able to observe Dave, his crew, and the vendors? work first hand.  Although it was a stressful two and a half weeks, I looked forward every morning to Dave and his crew?s arrival.

Seventeen years ago, in July 1998, I moved into a then-new two bedroom, two bathroom condominium with living room, dining room, kitchen, foyer, and large loft.  There is a 16-foot cathedral ceiling over the living room that meets the loft?s ceiling.  Other than installing a ceiling fan in the living room, new lighting in the kitchen and dining room, and a new dishwasher, I had not renovated the living room, dining room, kitchen, and foyer.

In March 2015, I hired Dave  for three reasons to:

1.      renovate my living room, stairway to the loft, dining room, kitchen except for the cabinets, and several components in the two bathrooms;

2.      correct, to the degree possible, a prior contractor?s shockingly poor work in the master bathroom; and,

3.      repair, to the degree possible, the builder?s construction mistakes. 

After agreeing on the work to be done and costs involved, Dave took me shopping.  He has vendors with whom he has long-term, established relationships.  We visited Rockville Granite, Carpet & Floor Express, Inc., Ferguson Enterprises, Inc. (plumbing fixtures), and River Glass Designs.  All four vendors are in Rockville.

Dave only charged me for time and materials.  Instead of charging a contractor?s markup, Dave arranged for me to pay the vendors directly.  All told, the renovations cost $35,000.  Given the amount of work that Dave and his crew did and the quality of vendor?s work and materials, I think that $35,000 was very reasonable, especially for the Washington DC area.

Dave has an excellent eye for design. With his guidance, I selected beautiful granite counters for the kitchen and bathrooms, high quality bathroom and kitchen plumbing fixtures, bathroom lighting fixtures, great looking laminate flooring for the foyer, living room, dining room, and kitchen, and fabulous carpeting for the two bedrooms.  I especially love the laminate floors, carpet, and granite counters.  Everyone who has seen my renovated condo has been very impressed with the outcome.

His work in the master bathroom deserves special mention.  The prior contractor had used porous cement, rather than epoxy, grouting for the bathroom floor, shower, and shower wall tile.  The prior contractor did such a poor job of grouting the shower floor tile that I had the prior contractor remove the initial grout and install new grout.  Even after two tries, the grout failed, i.e., fell out and turned yellow and black.  When installing the second round of grout, the prior contractor chipped many shower floor tiles.  The prior contractor?s crew misaligned the new frameless shower door and the two glass panels on either side of the door.  They improperly installed new lighting fixtures in the bathrooms.

Dave and his crew corrected the problems with the shower.  His crew removed the poorly installed shower floor and replaced it with new underlying rubber sealant, shower tiles, and epoxy grout.  He replaced the sloping Carrera marble threshold with a new, level threshold.

He arranged to have River Glass Designs install a custom-built frameless shower door.  River Glass Designs also installed new custom-cut mirrors over the vanities in both bathrooms.  Dave and his crew installed new lighting fixtures in each bathroom.  When mounting the new lighting fixtures over the mirrors, they discovered that the prior contractor had dangerously installed one of the fixtures. They corrected the prior contractor?s sloppily done detail work in the master bathroom.

Finally, Dave and his crew did an excellent job of repainting the living room, stairway wall, foyer, dining room, kitchen, and bathrooms.  They took the time to prepare the walls and ceilings properly for repainting, e.g., used sturdy joint tape where the ceilings met the walls and carefully spackled and sanded walls.  They finished many, many small repair jobs and improvements that I meant to complete, but never did.  For example, Dave installed new LED lights, which I had purchased years ago, in my three bedroom closets and my laundry room.  He and his crew did a beautiful job of refinishing the top of my dining room table.
