The 2nd bathroom turned out as expected. The tiles had lines on it and were to be laid diagonally and had to ensure the tiles were lined up in the same direction. Not sure how they missed this... The only think unfinished here is the door transition which was never fixed in place thus it movable. The master bedroom painting turned out well, there were a couple of missed spots that were fixed later. The maser bathroom was the bulk of the major work. The vanity dimensions given was 60in which we got however they had to cut the wall a little and there is STILL a whole on the side of the vanity that we have complained about and the contractor came out to look at it in January 2015 but never returned to fix it. Inside the vanity cabinet where the pipes go through the wall it was left bare and when they returned in Jan simply put some covers over it but was not secured so it is very movable. The exhaust fan we initially purchased was too big but never received good dimensions of one to purchase thus the one installed is a bit small for the whole and slid out at one time and my husband pushed it in so not sure about this. The floor tiles were not installed smoothly, there are raised areas on the floors but because of the pattern you don't really see but can feel it when you walk on it. The shower turned out really nice but not without complaints because of the 12x12 stone that had to be cut and fixed in place. Because of the varying colors of stone, they put the same color next to each other rather than interchange the colors which was what we should have been looking at while they were putting it in. Replaced a double door into a single door which was really nice, can actually lock the bathroom now. Also the recessed lighting was a good idea by the contractor during the work which works well now too. Overall the bathroom looks nice but still need some fixes especially the whole in the wall."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/md/columbia/united-home-remodelers-inc-reviews-6517786.htm"},"position":5},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Castle - The Window People","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"MD","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Theresa S."},"reviewBody":"They did not carry a double door where both sides could be opened.

We contacted Angie's List and obtained a list of other providers to find someone else to repair our garage door opener. We did not want to give more money to a company that would not stand by its original work. We contacted J. W. Rodgers Garage Door and explained our dilemma. The railing was hanging and our car was inside of the garage! The lady who answered the phone was friendly and immediately offered to try to help us. She contacted a service representative who arrived within a couple of hours, assessed the job and completed the repair within 45 minutes. He may have also helped us to avoid a future problem because he noticed that reinforcement had not been attached to the garage door as it should have been and repaired it, too.

Security Door Installation reviews from real Angi homeowners in Arnold, MD
The house I'm living in has windows & doors installed by Thompson Creek. Everything went smoothly and it's definitely impacted our energy bills in a good way. The street noise was reduced as well in the living room, and our storm door is SO much better.

Excellent, a previous company told us we could not get the fiberglass doors due to the size, we have double doors which are smaller than the norm. Energy Wizard was able to install the fiberglass doors that I wanted. Loved meeting with Marirose and John Capozzi, they made us feel like we had...
Response from UHR has always been a bit slow, the actual process was not explained as we were going through it which made things a bit confusing at times. The guys that did the work was really polite and listened to what we wanted. The contractor for UHR/owner of the guys that did the actual...

"People don’t plan to have their water pipe burst. Seeing as it was -10 degrees today it’s no surprise ours did, despite every effort to make sure the water in the pipes were moving. I was at a doctors appt and walked in to water bursting out of the kitchen ceiling in buckets! My mother was looking where to turn off the main water with no success. When I got to it, water had been fishing for over 30 minutes! Oh, did I mention this occurred around noon today, which happens to be a Friday? My insurance said to see if I could get a plumber here today to expose the burst, take a pic to prove it’s due to a frozen pipe, then fix it. Of course I went straight to Angie’s List and saw this company was the highest rated near me and had great reviews. I called and spoke to the owner, Robert, and explained our situation. He was excellent! Knowing mine wasn’t the only pipe that burst, during this weather, I had no idea what their availability was. In spite of many similar issues, he made sure his guys could come over this afternoon. He was concerned about me having to wait for a water mitigation crew to come out and said he could take care of that too. Unfortunately, we’d already booked one with our insurance, who are coming out tomorrow. The guys came and they were WONDERFUL!!!! They went right to work, cutting open the drywall surrounding the bursted pipe. Took pictures for me so I could send it to my insurance company and fixed it in no time. They were perfect gentlemen. It didn’t take long to see how kind, down to earth, professional and mindful of my concerns. Ya know how uncomfortable it can be not knowing who is coming in your home. I felt so comfortable with them. Wound up joking around with them as though I’d known them for years. The two guys who came were Ivan Perez and E’Nedino Diaz. Not only did they fix the reason for which they came, they even fixed a few issues we had in our upstairs bathroom. They did so professionally and efficiently. I would have no hesitation recommending them to others. To me they were angels with their wings and halo’s hidden. ?"

FAQs for security door installation projects in Arnold, MD
The average cost of a home security system is about $700, ranging from $280 to $1,150. Costs to consider include equipment, surveillance fees, and other additional features. Cost factors that determine your system’s price include the type of security system, materials, labor, activation fees, monthly fees, and permits.
Additional features and upgrades may include:
Video surveillance monitoring: $40–$65 per month
Smart home locks: $150
Smart home lighting: $15–$90
Smart smoke, fire, and carbon monoxide alarms: $35–$100
Smart thermostat: $130–$500
Door installation usually takes three and four hours, including removing the old door and frame, fitting the new door and frame in place, shimming it to make sure it’s perfectly level, and making adjustments to the hinges and locking mechanisms to ensure proper functionality. A door-hanging professional can replace an interior door in between one and two hours. Door installation will take significantly longer if your installer needs to create a wall opening, and it can take less time if the existing door frame remains.
The average cost to install a door is around $1,100, but you could pay anywhere from $150 for a hollow-core interior door installation up to $2,000 or a high-end exterior door installation. There are a few cost factors to consider to get an accurate price, including whether your wall opening exists, the type of door, the quality and security of the door, whether you need to replace the frame, and the door size. You can expect to pay $150 to $700 for a standard 36-by-80-inch door and between $400 and $1,600 for an80-by-48-inch door.
Yes, a home security system can be worth it for your peace of mind alone, but it can also save you up to 20% on your home insurance. The insurance savings will help defray the initial setup costs and subscription costs over time. Locations with higher crime rates also make home security systems a valuable investment, but it ultimately depends on your personal preferences and asset values.
It’s possible to install a door yourself if the wall opening already exists, but the work is rather complicated, and a professional installation is usually well worth the investment. For your door to work and close properly, you’ll need to shim and level the door frame in your wall perfectly, which can be difficult. Additionally, we recommend you always hire a professional door installer to place an exterior door, as mistakes during the installation process can lead to poor security for your home.
