"Noel and his team did a speedy and fantastic job installing the fence. Would recommend, and I plan on calling him again when it’s time to re-do my deck."
"We needed to have our 40-year-old bathtub converted into a walk-in shower for my elderly mother and have the bathroom flooring replaced. After an exhaustive search of potential companies, I came across Mako Shower & Bath. Shawn visited us for a consultation and gave us an opportunity to explore the different design options. He was very thorough and provided all of the information we needed about how it would be installed. For accessibility, we decided to have a folding seat and two grab bars installed in the shower. Once all of the parts were delivered to Mako, the install itself took less than a day. The installers, Kevin and Riley, did a fantastic job and we are extremely pleased with the new shower and flooring. It not only looks amazing, it addresses all of the safety and accessibility issues we had with the old bathtub and floor."
"They were excellent! I called while at work and they arrived at my house within five minutes. They explained everything to my mom, who was home, and called me to verify what was needed for the repair. The repair on took only 5 minutes. A few months ago, we had another company fix the toilet. Apparently they did not properly install it and it cause a slow leak. What impressed me is that Cipriano could have really charged a lot and over sold what needed to be done but they did not. They fixed the leak. They were honest, knowledgeable, courteous, quick, and really nice people. I would hire them again and plan to for future projects."
"Chevy Chase Remodeling was simply outstanding! I can't say enough good things about their professionalism, guidance and quality workmanship. From the initial scoping of the project and meeting with Steve (owner), I knew that I was in good hands. He provided helpful guidance in the selection of all of the materials for the job and priced the job at a reasonable rate. The workmanship and attention to detail from Jose, who was assigned to the job from start to finish was exceptional. In the end, he did a beautiful job on all of the tile work, electrical work, painting, and installation. My house was built in 1924 and has tons of idiosyncracies and Jose had to work around to complete the job. In terms of professionalism, everyone wore masks and adhered to all of the COVID-19 best practices, and at the end of the job, Steve engaged a top-notch cleaning crew to leave the house in pristine shape in time for the Christmas season. Chevy Chase gets a great recommendation from me. My bathrooms are just lovely!"
"Bobby performed several projects for us over the course of a couple of months. He repaired exterior house trim, installed an electrical outlet, repaired drywall, painted interior rooms, and installed a new tile floor. He pays attention to every precise detail, and the results are excellent. He is very responsive, organized and neat, and I felt perfectly comfortable giving him a key to access our home while we were not there. Bobby was more than capable of tackling any job we threw at him, and I definitely recommend him for your home projects."
"JD Michael Construction is great. This is now the third or fourth project they have worked on for us. Consultation was easy and Joe is very responsive and easy to work with. We had some issues with the door being delivered broken and Joe took care of the work to get it replaced. Installation was smooth and took a single day like Joe stated. Installers were friendly and professional. JD Michael Construction is my go to for any home projects larger than i want to handle."
"Jim arrived on time and got to work immediately. He was very friendly and professional. He had to drill holes into the tile in both of my bathrooms to install the grab bars. The master bathroom didn’t have studs that he could use, so he had to use anchors. This meant drilling additional holes and it took more time than usual. He left the bathrooms neat and clean. I also had him caulk the bathtub in the guest bathroom. He did a great job overall! I just wish that it wasn’t as expensive as it was. That’s why I gave the price a “B” rating."
"VKB renovated our 40 year old master bathroom and we absolutely love it! With the professional and talented Designer, Calvin, the excellent workmanship of the installer, and the coordinated direction of the Project Manager, Jason -- the install went smoothly and was completed on time. VKB installed quality products and managed all the small details with ease. Our bathroom is beautiful and has brought our family great joy and happiness! Thank you VKB for your care and dedication you took to improve our quality of living in our home."
Grab Bar Installation questions, answered by experts
Burglar bars can go either inside or outside a window. However, internally mounted security bars provide the advantage of being inaccessible from outside the property without breaking a window. If a burglar were to break the glass and attempt to attack the inside bar attachment, they would risk setting off a glass break window alarm sensor.
Yes, driveway gates can help secure your home by deterring burglars from accessing your property. Climbing a gate slows down burglars while also attracting attention to your gate. If you live further down your property and want to increase security, you can also install a gate security camera that connects to your gate and monitors the area for suspicious activity.
Using proper equipment, ventilation systems, and adhering to application standards.
To make your gate safe, purchase a gate made from strong material such as wrought iron, stainless steel, or other metals. Ensure that the gate has strong joints and bars that are welded on rather than inserted loosely. If you’re concerned about people climbing over your gate, you can deter them by installing fence spikes along the top as an extra precaution.
While spring gates close gently but firmly, they’re not a foolproof solution for securing your yard to prevent pets or kids from escaping or unwanted guests from entering. Installing a gate latch that is sturdy and lockable with a self-closing mechanism is more effective, especially when used alongside other methods for keeping your home safe, such as cameras or motion detectors.
