Get matched with top subcontractors in Olney, MD

Smithwright Home Improvement is a general contracting company providing a broad range of home improvement and home repair services in the Suburban Maryland area. I am a company of one and use subcontractors only when absolutely necessary. 99% of the work I take on is performed by me. Smithwright Home Improvement is licensed with the Maryland Home Improvement Commission since 2004 under license# 89597. I've done mostly flat-fee work under contract with the home owner. Small projects, or handyman related work, bills out at $80/hour with a 3 hour minimum. Angie's List customers receive a 10% discount off labor charges that invoice over $500.00.

My business, up to now, has grown strictly through referrals from satisfied customers. In the 20 years since I started this business, I have served hundreds of home owners in this area doing everything from simple drywall work to building large room additions and decks. I pride myself in delivering results that far exceed my customer's expectations. (Please note, the nature of my work can make it quite difficult to take phone calls during the day. The last thing I want is to offend anyone by not picking up or not returning phone calls. Please contact me via text at 410-707-5542 or email at [email protected] as well and I will try to respond to you within 24 to 36 hours. Thank you!).

"I needed to have 3 cat6 network cables an 1 coax cable run between my living room and office. Total distance is about 35-40 feet on the same floor of my condo. Spoke to Charlie, who explained the process and pricing. Scheduled an appointment. Two tech arrived (both worse masks) on time and immediately began evaluating the job. They decided to route the cables via existing path through walls (so no new holes, etc. were needed). Total job took about 3.5 hours. They routed the cables through the kitchen and through a wall into the office. Cables were neatly tucked under the kitchen cabinets and secured along the baseboards in the office. They installed two wall plates with RJ45 and Coax jacks. Tested functionality. Also cleaned up any dust and debris. Total cost for materials, time, labor came to about $900. In retrospect, I should have provided my own cables and plates, as the cost-per-foot was high ($1/foot for cable). All in all, extremely happy. Would use again for future jobs!"

"My contractor did not want me to upgrade panel prior to construction of our addition so I did not use Nasr.  He was very informative and the price was right though.  I will not hesitate using Nasr in the future.

"My experience with Three Brothers was great. Saul was very responsive. He answered my request for a quote immediately. They were very accommodating to my schedule. My attic fan stopped working and Augustin figured out what the issue was right away. Augustin did the work and he was very professional. He didn't try to sell me services or replacement parts that I didn't need. He was very honest and their rates were very reasonable. I would definitely hire them again. They were great to work with."

"VKB far exceeded out expectations for our new kitchen design and installation; as well as, the resurfacing and stain/varnish to my existing floors and stairs. My wife and I are very pleased with the final outcome. Money was well spent. Base on our experience, I would not hesitate to recommend their services again. Jack and Suzanne McClinton."

"I also posted on Home adviser, for I feel that I should share with ANYONE looking for a contractor and is worried... On EVERY occasion, Tony and his crew were prompt, courteous, friendly, professional and (i shopped around) for the work performed, I got a GREAT price! Best part was that I felt so comfortable around him and his associates, that I actually felt like I was hanging out with friends. This is the first time in my life, that I never had to juggle my schedule for a contractor didn't show up, or was late and I can honestly say that I'm not worried about making a recommendation and having it come back to haunt me. KUDOS to them! Less"

"DMV were the contractors for a series of renovation projects in my home -- renovate a powder room, complete renovation of the kitchen, renovate a closet space, install a skylight, repaint several rooms and the staircase, and refinish the floors upstairs. Javier and the crew were outstanding: very communicative throughout the project, attentive to my concerns and the integrity of the house, and very accommodating with my neighbors. Javier offered many helpful suggestions for tiling, fixtures, and colors. I'm thrilled with the results -- the quality and precision of the work is excellent, and the skylight has transformed my home and my life. Perhaps the most amazing aspect of the project is that I could not be on site as I was posted overseas during the work. I had to trust Javier and his team completely to carry out the work without my hands-on presence. My trust was well-placed. They took care of my home and its contents, and the project was finished in budget and early. Javier was also super-responsive and helpful once I was able to return home. I can't recommend DMV highly enough! S. Boswell"

"First lets just say I am a little OCD when it comes to work in my house :) I needed my basement waterproofed. Given the scope of work and the expense involved I wanted to make sure I get the RIGHT contractor. I got 8 bids for the job. Basement Gurus blew the others away. The price was very competitive. The customer service was great. I knew exactly what they were doing each step of the way. They showed me the materials involved and explained the entire process in detail. The work was beyond expectations. They showed up on time, with a huge crew. Given the size of the crew it was amazing to watch how well everyone worked together. It was like a well oiled machine! I can tell these guys have been doing this for a long time. The finished the job on time and left the place cleaner than before!!! They even had a guy washing my deck to make sure they didn't leave any dusty footprints. That kind of attention to detail is unheard of these days. Overall, they are amazing. I could not have asked for a better crew or customer service!!!"

The man I had my previous HVAC service contract with passed away in January and, before he died, he sold his service contracts to GAC.  I learned of this in two letters I received just about the time my spring service was due, one letter from the old company, explaining the death and sale, along with a letter from GAC welcoming me.  Since they had my money I figured I?d give them a try.  I called GAC on a Monday and scheduled my spring maintenance for Thursday.  On Tuesday my A/C made a horrendous noise and I shut it off.  Called GAC to ask if we could move the visit up to Wednesday and they said ?sure?.  Tech arrived on time on Wednesday, explained that my 19 year old system might not have too many years left.  I could spend $1,000 to replace the fan motor and cross my fingers that the condenser didn't go next, or invest in a new Furnace and A/C.  He patiently answered all my questions, we went over the pros and cons, and he didn?t talk down to me (which frequently happens as I am an older woman), under the circumstances it was a wonderful experience.  While he worked up the estimate for a new system in the van I did a computer search of the company and how much a new HVAC system should cost.  I figured I could spend weeks shopping around, but I had travel scheduled for much of April and really didn?t have time for that.  I lucked out, there were several rebates available in April from Washington Gas, PEPCO and Bryant, all of which the tech explained.  I was given two proposals with two different models, I accepted GAC?s proposal on the spot and they had their Quality Assurance man in my house on Thursday taking measurements and answering my questions (he also arrived right on time).  A new Furnace and Air Conditioner were installed on Monday, the furnace passed inspection yesterday, and everything is working well.  The new system is so much quieter than my old system and it appears to be very efficient.  Everyone I worked with at GAC was wonderful, very nice, professional, answered all my questions.  The three man team who installed the system was so upbeat for a Monday morning, I was amazed.  They arrived on time and went right to work like a well oiled machine.  One started outside on the Air Conditioner while the other began tearing out the furnace, the third was floating, helping each of the others, while unloading the trucks.  They had to work in a very tight closet like space but I never heard any grumbling.  They sang along with their music, truly seemed to like each other and they answered my questions as they worked.  They didn?t seem to be bothered by the fact that I checked in on them often.  A very different experience than the one I had 19 years ago when the old system was installed!  They warned me that, because of the area was tight, it could take up to 6 hours to complete, which it did.  They started a little after 8:00 and were done by 4:00. They left the area spotless and took their time walking me through the operation of the new thermostat, how to send in for the rebates and how to call for the county inspection.  All in all, I am happy I stayed with GAC Services and would highly recommend them.
