Did not go well. Think they fired the on-site supervisor. quality is substandard. they also built a storage shed whose ceiling now leaks, so we'll now need to get someone else in to rebuild the shed.

After my wife and I bought our first house back in 2011, we hired Rule 4
to make some renovations including: changing light fixtures, adding new
power outlet, and changing the closet doors.
The electrical work went off without a hitch but the closet doors were a
completely different story. We originally had sliders and my wife
wanted french doors so we weren't restricted to opening one side at a
time. We were completely shocked when after the initial install, there
was an inch gap from the top of the doors to the frame of our bedroom
closets (3 total) with springs clearly visible. The other closet we had
changed didn't close all the way either.
The excuse that the doors weren't "standard" size (aka not all were
measured) didn't really sit well for us and we waited until the issue
was resolved. After the second try (a month later), there was still a
smaller gap on our bedroom closets but they're on the bottom and not as
noticeable unless you're looking for it; however, my wife at this point
was fed up (our first experience with contractors) and we settled for
it.
I even contacted them a couple months later regarding some other work
but they never contacted me back. I guess they had problems with the
"trouble" I had made for them.
We're thinking about some more renovations which brought this experience
back to the forefront of my mind. Be warned!

Worst experience of my life. Dishonest and arrogant owner in Tom Moran do yourself a favor is find someone else he'll give you one price then make an excuse to charge you more. I have a legal contact that he said he doesn't want to follow and dared me to hire an attorney.
Response from Rule4 Building Group
"Rule4 LLC disputes the member's allegations. They are false and not representative of all the facts. The member contracted Rule4 LLC to do drywall and painting for new home. There were problems with construction (not related to Rule4 LLC) causing delays and other problems. The members moved in before completion. They stopped paying construction draws and demanded Rule4 to complete painting despite living in the construction zone."

Went very well. Most of the time we had multiple work crews and the job was completed within two weeks. Crews have no
problem working late and will oftentimes work weekends. Don also uses high quality paint (Fine Paints from Vermont).
His knowledge of paint is extensive.

"Many thanks to the member for taking the time to write this review! She mention's that Don uses Fine Paints of Europe (as well as other quality brands) for his work. In fact Don is 1 of only 4 certified users of this paint in Maryland after he traveled to Vermont last month to complete a 2 day training course. It makes all the difference to your finished project. Many thanks again! Allison Ellis Rule4 Marketing Manager"

They’re very good! The project manager, Don Moran, came out every day to check on the crew. The crew was incredibly professional and cleaned up each day before they left. They also made sure to get the job done within the time frame they said it’d be done, which meant sometimes working extra hours. They did a great job!

Don Moran was great to work with and we were most impressed by the fact that he was on-site everyday overseeing/managing the work being done. The cabinets look great and we were really pleased with the work overall. They really went above and beyond by doing little things like re-painting the backsplash area and fixing a broken drawer.

Rule 4 is committed to completing a job in a timely manner. They explain in detail how much work is needed to be performed and the amount of time it will take. Some of our past experiences have had contractors start a job and not finish or jump to other jobs.
They communicate by phone and e-mail and our accessible through all phases of the work.

Rule 4 had to come in to my home after I moved in aroiund thanksgiving time. The seams on kitchen ceiling were very noticeable. For a brand new home, this was unacceptable. they tried to repair 4 times adn it got worse. There are also eams in front hallway and baasement adn family room adn almost every other room. I never thought I would pay over a million dollars for a hoem adn see such poor drywall.

It went very well. The gentleman I worked with at the time was great and made my job so much easier. He prepared quotes in a timely manner stating exactly what would be done, was amenable to doing additional small handyman jobs along the way and prepared modifications to my contract in a timely manner. He managed the crew well and showed up each day to monitor their work and progress. Crew was polite, clean, and overall did a very good job. Both the supervisor and crew were responsive to any comments or questions I had and were very helpful. I would like to add that, based upon this experience, I tried to contact Rule4 in 2010 to give me a quote on a lot of renovations at my home, but I never get anyone to return my call or e-mail. Was rather disappointed about that after having such a good & responsive experience in 2009, so don't know if I would call them again because of that, but the previous experience in 2009 was very good anyway.

They are very good painters. They are very good at helping to select colors too. I rate them high overall and will continue to use them in the future.
