"Hired them for 3 projects I have installed this basement waterproofing solution in 2 homes. System speaks for itself. Nothing better on the market. Work was first rate. Expectations were presented prior to the project. Details on what would happen and how the project would go. Would not hesitate to use again ERV installed New basement egress. This project did not go as planned, but not at the fault of basement systems. Was originally supposed to get a BILCO door but due to unforseen issues, that was not able to happen. They ended up installing a new staircase from my basement to ground level. Work was first rate and ended up better than a bilco door. Company re landscaped and everything is as it was. All work performed was top notch and no issues on anything they have done"

"We are currently happy with the basement waterproofing and remodeling that was completed! There were issues - most minor but we haven't anything to compare as this was the first-time having contractors complete basement work for us; and our home is almost 100 years old. They were flexible given unexpected issues that came about with the basement. The water proofing was done first and they did a great job. They were happy to review and resolve any remaining questions/concerns and/or issues. Jorge in the service dept. is professional, punctual and is a great representative and asset for this company."

"Very satisfied with our basement remodel. They were extremely responsive to any and all concerns."

"From the time of our first conversation to our consultation and throughout our entire project Demetrius was there every step of the way. We had a vision of what we wanted for our patio and deck, Demetrius made sound suggestions and the project was implemented. Project completion time was estimated to be 2 weeks, weather permitting. Demetrius and his team completed the job with efficiency and kept us totally informed as to what phase his team would be working on each day. We are so in awe of our new outdoor space and will definitely be utilizing our outdoor space more often. We are so pleased with our new backyard. What a big difference this has made! Thank you for an extremely pleasant experience! We would definitely recommend Simmons Handyman Service for your remodeling needs and certainly will be using them again when we are considering another project."

"Melvin is a hard worker who always showed up on time, and completed the job as promised, and for the agreed-upon amount. He is cheerful, takes proper precautions to protect the home, then cleans up after himself each day. We gave him the difficult task of working around the very tight schedule of the plumber, the electrician and the granite installers, for our kitchen remodel. He did a terrific job, and we would definitely hire him again."

AES Homebuilders worked nothing short of a miracle in my home!  I hired them to remodel my basement.  They took a dark, dusty, dated space and transformed it into a contemporary, comfortable and light filled apartment.  This was a total remodel that included a tear out, an electrical heavy up, new plumbing, leveling floors, water proofing and tying in a new bathroom to existing plumbing.   The space features a bathroom, kitchenette, sitting area, two large closets, a stackable washer and dryer unit, and a bedroom. 

They converted the garage into the bedroom, cutting through a cinder block wall to install a new window, pouring concrete to level the floor, and creating a new entry/foyer area where the garage door was formerly located.  They also redid the railing on my upstairs porch and designed a beautiful façade for the new entryway with window, door, sidelight and siding.   The design ties in nicely with my Georgian style brick home  My house was constructed in 1947, which means there is not a square wall or level floor in the space due to natural settlement.  When you walk into the apartment, you get the feeling you are in new brand new construction. 

My installer Steve and his assistant Kim were a highlight of my day.  I could set my watch by their arrival time.  They were consistently there at 7:30, despite their commute from Baltimore to my home which is just outside of DC.  They were on the job every day until the work was completed.   They consulted with me on important decisions and when they needed to make a judgment call in my absence, it was always right on the money.  I had a very good idea what I wanted, as I had ruminated over this space for years.  Their experience and keen eye led to recommendations that I had not considered and that significantly improved the flow/design of the space.   They were very pleasant, polite and professional.  I felt very comfortable with them in my home. 

AES made very good recommendations regarding companies to work with to purchase my cabinets, granite, flooring, tiles etc.  All materials were of high quality and the costs were very good because they extend their contractor discount to me.   I purchased some materials on my own as well with the help and guidance of my installer. 

My experience from the beginning of my interaction with AES to the final sign off was AMAZING.  Bill my sales person and Scott the architect were very patient with me as we worked through the details, project scoping and costs.  They did not rush me in my decision making process, answered all of my questions and were quite entertaining even after hours of discussion.  These guys have worked together for a long time and it?s obvious because they are on the same page which made my experience that much easier.   Tim Munson, the owner of the company was very accessible which was impressive.   Everyone on the staff, from the women in the front office, to the sales team to the builders were a joy to work with.   This is a testament to the company and its leadership.

This project was a huge undertaking.  I was confident but nervous at the outset.  Everyone at AES put my mind at ease, and they delivered in a huge way.  I Am So Grateful to have found this company.   Throughout the project my friends would ask me how things were going and my reply was always, ?I love my contractors?!  My friends would say, Wow.  I?ve never heard anyone say THAT before.  I have several other projects that I plan to complete in preparation for my retirement and I will definitely be calling on AES!  I hope they will work with me again, especially now that they are familiar with all the quirks of my aging home.   This was not a straightforward project for even this company, by any means.

The only ?negative? experience I had working with AES, if I can call it that, was that my project was delayed in starting.  As with all contracting, start and end dates are tough to call.  As a project manager by profession, I totally get that.  My original start date was off by about 8 weeks, which was giving me a little angst by week 4.    I have to say, in spite of this, AES was ABSOLUTLEY WORTH THE WAIT!   I will wait for them again for my next endeavor if necessary.   Good contractors are hard to find.  Finding a great contractor is nothing short of a blessing.  My hat?s off to AES.

My next project will be installing a laundry room, expanding my powder room and installing new floors and granite in my kitchen.  I look forward to doing business with them again.

"We could not be happier with our beautiful new basement and we would use GloRem for other remodeling projects in the future. Eugene is extremely patient and responsive and the team was skilled, professional, and courteous."

"We are ecstatic about how our basement renovation turned out! When my husband and I met Chris in March 2021, he was very professional and knowledgeable about what it would for our project. The cost estimate he provided was reasonable and we were able to stay in budget. His team was polite and had good work ethic. Chris was very engaged in the entire project and kept us aware of progress and delays. In addition to the project, they included a few other items that really helped us (I.e., electrical socket in the front of house, cable wiring in the living room for better signaling throughout the house)They did great work and we will be using their services for future projects! We would highly recommend The North Star Companies!"
