Recent General Contractors Reviews in Hanover
- Advanced Green Home SolutionsDavid was super professional and knowledgeable about the work he was performing. He came in with this smile and confidence that made me feel comfortable that I hired the right person for the job. I had a lot of questions and he was able to answer them, if he didn’t know it he definitely found out. I would definitely recommend David to anyone and call him out to come out again if needed
- Roof Right, Inc.I contacted so many 'handy men', roofing companies and contractors I lost count. Roof Rite was the most economical and responsive. I was told by many of the people that my job would be simple and easy for a handy man and didn't need a roofing company. But none of the handy men followed up my initial request and most of the roofing companies told me they didn't do repairs. After Roof Rite, the leak was completely repaired and the work was done correctly. No more leaks
- BasementRemodeling.comI am sincerely excited to be providing this review of Basement Remodeling's finishing of my basement in Odenton, Md. I was extremely impressed with the methodical system that was utilized throughout the project, from the first day when Eric Campbell, the project manager, and his managerial crew visited our property to review and initiate the finish plans and change our basement lock for theirs (eliminating the need for us to have to share our house keys) to the final day - only 7 weeks later - when they returned to replace our basement lock and close out the job. Our basement finishing involved transforming @ 800 sq. ft of unpartititioned unfinished space into a music studio, media room, small office and fully tiled bathroom, with linen closet. All of the trade professionals - plumbers, electricians, HVAC crew, carpenters, interior designer, cleaners, etc. - integrated seamlessly with the project manager. They were all professional, courteous, always on time to the job site and all did excellent work. The project manager sent weekly emails detailing the work schedule for each upcoming week; 95% of the time, his projections were totally on point! The finished product is beautiful and we are totally pleased. A special shoutout to Tom Hummer, who was our initial contact who visited our home to discuss our initial design concept and provide ides and the eventual price quote. Whereas other contractors took over a week to quote the project, Tom got it done in 24 hours, with detailed drawings, and a total cost breakdown - with stayed consistent throughout the project
- Taylor Made Custom Contracting IncService was excellent, detailed, and professional. While we were out of town, they sent us videos of the progress, and the overall communication was great, very responsive. They even watered our plants and moved some furniture back without us asking. They asked for our feedback before making a decision on the trim, and the carpenters were always pleasant, friendly, and honest. The final bill was exactly as quoted plus an approved increase to handle some unexpected rot they showed us. Work included Andersen windows, slider, exterior water proofing, some carpentry, drywall and interior/exterior trim. Highly recommend for any remodeling or other custom work
- MPW Painting/Maryland Pro WashVery well. I needed to have my house power washed. I looked through Angi and found Maryland Powerwash. The price for a house under 3000 square feet was $199. After an Angi coupon, it was $175. A very fair price. I was contacted and made an appointment for 7/26. I was give a 4-hour window. The crew arrived in that window. They did a great job!! I will gladly use them again for work
- S & J Painting & RemodelingS&J did an excellent job! They were reliable, prompt and competitively priced. Jerry gave me a realistic timeline and didn’t over promise and under perform. They were also receptive to changes I wanted to make as the project went on. There weren’t any surprise charges and I was kept apprised of the work being done. I would recommend S&J to family and friends. They do great work at a great price
- S & J Painting & RemodelingJerry responded quickly to my initial call and came out to do an estimate. I felt like he did a great job scoping out the work with me. The two guys he sent to do the work were efficient and skilled - a lot of windows and a lot of high ladder work. Victor did a nice job crafting pieces of trim where it needed to be replaced (a match wasn't available at box stores or Wilson lumber). The workers kept me informed and accommodated a few small requests I made. Jerry's estimate of cost and time was dead on and much more reasonable than other estimate I got. Stacy kept good communication with me through email and made everything as convenient as possible
- S & J Painting & RemodelingVictor was very responsive to the list of tasks that I had prepared. He completed all the tasks very quickly and with good quality work.
- S & J Painting & RemodelingEntire experience was positive - from job estimate to job completion. S&J was always punctual, accomplished the intended tasks and cleaned up each evening. Their recommendations were always solid and very helpful. When our requests required creative approaches, they tackled the challenges with enthusiasm. Communications were on-going throughout the project to ensure our expectations were met and to address any questions. We love the new bathroom - even better than we expected! We will hire S&J again
- S & J Painting & RemodelingOverall, the project went very well. Because of the extensive rains we had in the spring, Jerry was delayed in getting the exterior work started. He did not want to take any risk with the poor weather for exterior painting. Jerry kept in touch with me on the scheduling, and I had no problems understanding the delays. Jerry's staff were good workers, competent and friendly. I was especially impressed with "Nestor," Jerry's leader in the exterior painting effort. Each day, the work areas were cleaned up and materials were put away. Jerry stopped by a few times during the course of the project to talk with me, to check on the status of the job, and to insure that I was satisfied. We had a walk-through at the end of the project and only one or two minor touch ups were required. Jerry is easy to work with, and it is obvious that he wants to insure that the customer is happy with the result

"He went above and beyond what I had wanted for just a simple modern update. It's a very small master bathroom and he was able to make it feel more spacious and clean with white subway tile inside my shower, and replaced the old brown floor tile with a faux marble floor.

"The job was very well done, and in a very timely fashion. I took off one star because there was often a delay in getting back to me during the communication preceding the job, and I was not provided with the date the job would be done on the day promised.
