Super Service Award Winner 6 Years in a Row!! Special Pricing for Angie's List Members on all Insulation jobs. Energy Audit work! Veteran Owned & Operated, Family business focused on Exterior Upgrade Packages, Energy Efficient Improvements, Siding, Roofing, Windows, Doors, Gutters, Insulation, Efficiency Auditing, Decks, Screened Porches, Additions, and more.

"Hired them to do a BGE home energy audit, and Larry Tennant performed this for the company. This included an inspection of the attic insulation which resulted in a lot of ceiling drywall essentially coming off the joists, multiple nails popping through the paint. I was really unhappy with this new problem, since what was supposed to be a $100 energy audit now led to damage that would cost several hundred dollars to repair. From Larry's point of view, the ceiling drywall likely had pre-existing problems making it vulnerable to damage from the inspection, something he had no way of knowing. After a lot of discussion, Larry contributed $500 toward the costs of fixing the ceiling, a reasonable compromise for both parties since the drywall already appeared to have pre-existing issues. Through the experience, he was professional, responsive, and was 100% committed to finding a mutually agreeable solution months after the audit was completed. Even though I would have rather never gone through the experience, I have the highest level of respect for Larry's integrity and commitment to customer satisfaction. I would gladly hire him again if we needed his services again."

Additional services for your convenience including permit service and design only agreements. Reach out today to schedule a free consultation!

"This job was done 10.5 years ago as of 2021. The finished product turned out great but its the behind the scenes experience that what unsatisfactory thus the three stars. Job was overpriced by comparison but we like to think you get what you pay for and C. Brook had lots of great reviews and seemed like a quality group. It took longer than expected but that comes with the territory. Punch list included lots of leaks in the porch roof and after many return visits and gutter alterations the water coming in staining the ceiling and bulk head where fixed. Recently ( 10.5 years after install ) we've had issues with the steps off of the back porch, deck boards and fascia boards coming loose. We called Mike and he came out to take a look. Most of the pressure treated joists used are completely water damaged. He explained it was partly due to the way they constructed it ( which they have since changed ) and that there is a warranty that can be used for the wood they sourced. Cedarbook wanted a very high price to do the repairs, ( compared to the other estimates we have obtained ) and told us that we had to handle all aspects of the warranty ourselves. A very disappointing response overall."

Our motto is "from the oldest contractor in Maryland comes the newest technologies". We mean what we say and those new technologies go a lot further than just solar and wind power, We offer our customers the newest offerings in composite and vinyl windows, super insulated sidings, and the latest options for greener kitchen cabinets to quickly renewable flooring choices as well as traditional choices. We pride ourselves in our record with Angie's list and the BBB. Remember; quality materials are worthless without a quality installation! We are the oldest licensed contractor in Maryland. Additional phone number is (877) 319-3909. Additionally DBA names Green Solutions Systems, LLC and Green Solutions MD.

"I am not sure how this Company got any 5s. I had a project done years ago and I became the Foreman! Damaged wood installed, door jams installed incorrectly, and I have a “lifetime” warranty on skylights they can never seem to fix and it is causing more damage to items THEY INSTALLED conveniently NOT covered by their warranty. Once I agreed to go all in with this company I stayed with project but in hindsight I wish I had gone with someone else even if they were more expensive! And this Company was not the lowest quote but they were great salesman who have yet to deliver the quality product they promised me. I am very frustrated because I have been dealing with this FOR YEARS! I prefer giving smaller businesses MY business. Not that I have anything against big businesses, I have utilized them too, but this experience is making me rethink small business support with this kind of lack luster overall service. They rushed me for full payment to move on to another project, and since then I have been a non priority. And believe me, I have been extremely patient as I waited for them to make things right before writing an bad review but I am tired of what feels like, the brush off."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

If the bowing basement wall is less than 2 inches, steel or carbon fiber straps are the best solution. For bowing that is more than 2 inches, wall anchors are the most effective. A contractor can help you decide the best method of repair for your home's foundation and also address the root cause of the trouble.

No, beams are the primary load-bearers for flooring or roofing systems, and they distribute the weight of the structure to your foundational supports, while joists bear far less weight and distribute their loads to the beams. Beams are usually thicker and longer, and they have support posts or foundation walls beneath them for support.

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.
