Get matched with top deck staining pros in Buckeystown, MD

"After paying my deposit to have just THREE columns in front of my house scraped free of the crumbling paint and repainted, this company completely ghosted me. No follow-up calls, no updates—nothing. I had to chase them down multiple times just to find out when they’d even start the job. At the consultation, I was told the project would begin in about a week. A MONTH later—with ZERO communication— I had to contact the company directly.. again.. to get an actual start date. With the start date locked in finally, I get a call at 4PM the day before, telling me they don't have what they need to match the original paint… despite me providing samples AND offering the original paint bucket with all details. I'm not sure why that wasn't mentioned in the MONTH I waited for the start date, and I'm not a paint professional, but I assume a reputable painting company should be able to figure out how to match paint, especially when the customer has the original paint bucket? Then, on the start date... the technician shows up 50 minutes late, BARELY scrapes off the old, crumbling paint, and just slaps a fresh coat on top. Total amateur hour. I actually feel sick to my stomach that this is what I'm paying almost $600 for. When I voiced my concerns to management, all I got were multiple hollow apologies and no real solutions for such armature work. Bottom line: If you want to overpay for subpar work, endless delays, and to act as your own project manager, this is the company for you."

"In the past, we’ve typically hired general contractors based on solicitations at our home. This has unfortunately resulted in more than a few misses. But we went through Angi this time and the pro we chose, Omar’s General Contracting, was definitely a hit. Omar was professional and communicative. His crew was great. On time, very tidy, reasonably priced, flexible, and a perfect finished product. We hired them on Sunday and they started on Monday. In two days, Omar and his crew were able to basically rebuild our entire eat-in kitchen ceiling following a large plumbing project. I honestly think it looks better now than it did before the work. Amazing. We wont be needing referrals for general contractors in the future. We’ve found our company. Thank you for the great referral, Angi and team."

"I strongly recommend Continental Home Improvements. Marvin came out promptly and followed up quickly with a quote for both exterior and interior painting and carpentry. Marvin is careful, hardworking, and honest. When there was any question, we worked it out easily. My wife and I really appreciated the quality of his work and look forward to working with him in the future."

"We hired Wow 1 Day for 2 separate projects and each one was high quality work with professional service and communications. The first was after we had a flood and needed to get our basement painted after water remediation. The second time we use the company to repaint our entire house. They were great helping with color consultations. We let our kids have some say over there rooms but the company was great in helping with that process. They also helped us be selective about trim and doors that didn't need to repainted to keep us on budget. I would recommend this company without reservation."

"Bottom Line: This is the second time using Manor Works, although the first time for carpentry. I hired them based primarily on previous excellent work on external painting of home, including complicated faux painting. Unfortunately, for carpentry they suffered from a serious quality control problem, and I would not use them again in this capacity. Communication: Scheduling the initial estimate was easy and timely, while communications continued throughout the process. Scoping Work: This is probably the most important first step in any project and often either messed up or purposely inflated. I needed pre-painted crown molding installed in one room. We requested professional-level carpentry to absolutely minimize any gaps between molding joints, the ceiling, and the walls – essentially a caulkless project. With the various angles in the walls and ceiling, we knew some tricky detailed cuts were going to be required. Quality of work. Frankly, 75-80% of contractors fail here for three primary reasons: a horrible handoff of details from the estimator to the onsite project foreman, project foreman and/or workers making assumptions vice asking the customer, and lack of quality detailed work. All three seemed to have come into play on this project. I knew I had a problem when the contractor asked me for the caulk. Because some boards were cut short and some angles were imprecise, there was a good amount of misalignment between boards and serious gaps between the board and the wall. In the third image, the corner of the board is broken out, and the carpenter wrote on a portion of the finished wall. That wall was painted in a textured, two-tone, faux appearance that takes time and expertise. It's not a simple paint this spot touchup. Due to the dark color of the trim, some of the joint misalignments I could hide with detailed painting and very precise and limited caulking, but the areas where it was chipped out and some of the wall gaps , especially where you can look up and see the nails going through, had to be completely replaced - meaning new crown molding, sanding, priming, painting, cutting, and nailing — both time and money for me. I realize this work can be challenging when the walls are at various angles. It's meticulous and takes a great deal of patience and care. I do my own baseboard, shoe molding, and short runs of crown, so I know it could have been done better than this. A previous contractor recently did it better in our powder and mud room. Pricing: Price was the best of three highly ranked Angie’s List companies, but in this case, you really do get what you pay for. It was very disappointing"
