"Recently we replaced our screened in porch and we are so glad to have had Marc and his crew on this project. We were referred to Homecraft Builders by friends who recently used the company to build a deck. Initially we were going to replace the existing structure but after reviewing options with Marc we decided to add an additional open area to the porch. Marc was “hands on” from our initial estimate and through the project. We appreciate that Marc walked us through the different stages of the project (tear down, rebuild, roofing) and was very communicative on how the crew was completing work. When decisions needed to be made on the job (where to put new stairs, fan installation), Marc walked us through the different options to ensure the finished product would meet our needs. We feel we made the right decision choosing Homecraft for the work and would recommend their services."

"Roofing Company removed slate roof and installed asphalt. House has a steep angled roof. I liked the actual work. Safety harness on men and fast service. What I didn't like was unprofessional attitude of company. Expensive plants and fine landscaping surrounds house much of which was crushed from falling debris. Plastic sheeting had been laid directly on delicate landscaping. When later researching this issue most companies lean long posts against the house. Then plastic sheeting is laid over and tacked to the posts. This lifts the sheet off of landscaping keeping plantings safe from falling debris. Article Title: If Your Roofer Ruins Your Bushes You Paid Too Much! I have children in my home so nail removal was important. The roofers did an adequate job. My Grandchildren collected 38 nails subsequently (for .25 cents each). The driver (who brought the roll-off) drove over my lawn causing deep grooves to grass and cracked the sidewalk. After 6 weeks the subcontracted trucking company agreed to pay for damage. I personally arranged cement and lawn repair company to fix the damage. I mention this as a negative against the roofer as I felt they should have assumed the responsibility of the repair and not myself. We paid the roofer $5500. They were almost lowest bid. We held $500 back until damage sidewalk was done. Roofer refused to pay anything towards the extensive damage to the landscaping. Manager pointed out that the contract read that foliage would be protected by being covered by sheeting. The contract also mentioned chance of some damage to property. What I take issue with was the disregard to the property. Heavy rope was left on the sheeting, the weight of that rope was crushing a bush. Piles of slate left on sheeting crushing plants. It wasn't until the men moved the plastic that I was aware of the damage this was causing and insisted the workers throw the slate away from the house! The men were agreeable and polite when I spoke to them. But where was the manager who promised he would be on site?? I called him, " I can't be at every job." But he was at my house the following day. He stayed the entire second day and the crew made effort to throw the slate into the garbage bin. The finished roof looks very good. The manager's final word was all companies do cover landscaping the way he does without posts. Make your own choice."

"I highly recommend Maryland Pro Services. They worked diligently for 2 hours cleaning my deck and driveway. The driveway had not been cleaned in more than 30 years. Both the deck and driveway look great now!"

"Job involved cutting and patching ceiling Sheetrock. By the time they had gone out and bought the necessary supplies much of the time paid for through Angie's List had been used up so I had my son finish the Sheetrock repair. What they completed was quality work but I can't comment on how the finished job would look since I didn't have them finish it."

Same quality and company, NEW NAME!!!! Yep we've upgraded our branding to better reflect out company goals. As always, quality products are essential for success, but without certified and trained technicians installing everything to the exact specifications for greatest success, your home wouldn't get the best results. That's why we do things right - every time. Our excellent products come with extended/lifetime warranties INCLUDED - there will never be an upcharge for a warranty. The adage "you get what you pay for" is 100% true for Insulation Geniuses. We'd rather explain the investment up front rather than trying to explain quality for the next 20 years...

Another Happy Homeowner!

"Matt and his team were very professional and provided a competitive quote to replace our deck stairs, make structural repairs, power wash and stain our deck. They showed up for the project on time and kept coming back until the job was done to our satisfaction. Matt was also very responsive to email and phone questions throughout the process. In the end we have a beautiful deck that is now safe and free of splinters for our two small children and prolonged the life of our deck for many years to come for a fraction of the price to replace it. We would highly recommend RHA home services and plan on using them in the future."

Dock Building and Repair questions, answered by experts

It is possible to build your own dock, especially for simpler projects like a small floating dock, provided you are an experienced DIYer. However, dock building is a complicated process, and hiring a professional is recommended for larger, more complex projects that involve installing pilings or engineering a suspension structure.

A professional dock builder will have the necessary tools and skills to set post foundations, ensure proper anchoring, and build a safe, durable structure that can withstand marine conditions for decades. They are also knowledgeable about local regulations and permitting requirements. In some areas, it is illegal for anyone without a marine construction license to build a dock. Hiring a professional helps avoid these potential legal headaches and ensures the project is completed safely and correctly.

The cost of a new dock can range from $3,000 to $30,000, depending on the extent of the project size, location, and additional features.

For example, a boat lift can range from $1,000 to $8,000. The ladder you'll need for your dock can be anywhere from $100 to $800, not including installation. In addition, the decking you'll need for your dock can cost between $15 and $30 per square foot.

Cedar wood is the best choice for a hardwood dock, as it is rot-resistant and does well in the water. Pressure-treated pine and spruce are two other solid options. Alternately, composite or waterproof plastic are materials commonly used for docks, and are frequently used in prefabricated kits.

You will likely need a permit to build a new dock or add to an existing one, especially if it's a permanent structure. Permit requirements vary by location, as they are typically set by local municipalities, counties, or cities rather than states. You should check with your local government or building department to determine what paperwork is required before you begin. In many areas, you may need multiple permits, including general construction permits and those designed to protect local marine life. Additionally, if you are part of a homeowner's association (HOA), they may have their own rules regarding docks, such as minimum distances between neighboring docks. It's best to check with all relevant authorities (city, county, HOA) to ensure you are in compliance. A professional dock builder can often handle the permit-pulling process for you.

Costs depend on dock type, size, materials, water depth, and labor.
