"LFC did everything we wanted and more. They did everything right and efficiently. Their customer services is the best we ever received. Jan's design ideas were better than we expected. Ceramic tile, closets, countertops and backsplash, drywall, electrical, flooring installation, interior painting, granite installation"

"Jerry was friendly, efficient, straight-talking, and didn't try to upsell us. We didn't need (or want) a lot of design input and had a strong sense for the types of tile and fixtures we wanted. Many of the other contractors who came to give quotes pushed design services or strongly encouraged us to purchase low-quality tile/fixtures through their suppliers, but this wasn't the case with S & J. Elias was fantastic--he helped confirm our tiles and fixtures were appropriate before we finalized our purchases, and we appreciated his attention to detail throughout the process."

"Did a great job. Repaired/replaced rotted wood on front porch. Would use again if needed."

"Excellent work. Very happy with the results."

"I would like to start by saying I researched this company thoroughly on different websites and met with a member of the company and I thought they were really going to turn out to be a great choice for my project. It ended up not being the case for me. I feel like I was treated as if my business was not wanted or needed and I am disappointed. I am still just sitting here“shaking my head” at the whole interaction. I went to a home remodeling show at the Baltimore Convention Center on Friday, February 16, 2018. I met a representative for the company that was working the booth at the show and explained that I was looking to add a porch to the front of my house. We spoke at length with someone that ended up being a designer for the company and showed him some “inspiration photos” of ideas we had in mind for the project. We showed him two pictures on a phone with crude Photoshop renderings of our house with some images of different porches we admired added to the front of our house just for a reference point. The designer gave us his card and told us to call the company to set up an appointment for him to come out and measure and discuss the project further. On February 27th 2018 we contacted the AES Customer Care department and made an appointment for the designer to come out for measurements and other information needed for an estimate. When we mentioned the “inspiration pics” we had we were asked to email them to the company in care of the Customer Care person that set up the estimate appointment. At that time an appointment was made for March 14, 2018. On March 14, 2018 at 3pm the same designer we met at the remodeling show arrived and took measurements of the front of the house. He was just as nice as he had been when we first met him. He stated that he didn’t feel one of the ideas we showed him would work because the pitch of the existing roof was too low to add dormers. He stated the second “inspiration pic” idea would work he thought. He drew some quick sketches on his IPad to explain to us why he didn’t think the dormers would work and we agreed. He also showed us a picture he had on his IPad of a porch project he designed for another customer. It was similar to what we were looking for and the house in the picture was similar to ours in the style. We really liked it. He explained at length how he would build the foundation of the porch without having to pour a lot of concrete and the different finishes we could use. He was probably at the house for about 2 hours answering our questions and explaining things. He told us he could produce a computer image for us of roughly how the porch in his picture on the IPad would look on our house--He stated he would need to do a computer drawing anyway in order to generate the estimate and he would share the drawing with us so we could get a general idea of how it would look. He told us it would take “about two weeks” to get the drawing and the estimate to us. If and when we signed a contract, work would begin approximately 90 days later because they were so busy he said. He left stating he knew “exactly what we wanted” (his words). Two weeks came and went and we heard nothing. I emailed the Customer Care Department on Friday 4/20/18 @ 12:52pm to ask how the estimate was coming along since it had been a little over a month. The same Customer Care Dept. person we set the appointment up with initially responded @ 1:05pm to say they would ask the designer to contact us as to when we could expect the estimate. I emailed Customer Service again on Friday, 5/4/18 @ 11:50am to say we still hadn’t heard from the designer. The Customer Care Dept. (same person) responded @ 11:52am to say he will let the designer know we are expecting communication from him. (No apology for the delay or anything else, just that one sentence). On Thursday 5/31/18 @ 12:32 I again emailed the Customer Care Dept. to say “I am reaching out one last time in an attempt to get an estimate. I am hoping this bad initial experience is not reflective of the company as a whole. Is there someone that can email me an estimate? At 12:42 the Customer Care department (same person I’ve been communicating with) responded saying “I will contact the designer and request him to contact you to let you know when to expect those mock–ups” (again, no apology or anything other than that one sentence). FINALLY on 5/31/18 @ 4:52pm I received the email below from the designer. He cc’d the Customer Care Dept. person I had been communicating with as well as the owner of the company. “I apologize as to any confusion with emails as I had sent you a couple emails a few weeks ago and then before that as well so I am replying to this thread. We had sat down and looked at your existing roof line and determined that because the original pitch on your roof was to low to add any kind of meaningful dormers and to connect a front porch based on that look. We felt it better to have an engineer look at what you want to accomplish and then do some structural drawings to get a proper spread and from those drawings (if it were possible) we could do a build cost and take off. The existing roof line was to low to present any kind of structural and finished look for what you wanted. Let us know if you would like the name and number of an engineer” I responded to all on 5/31/18 @ 8:06 pm. In a nutshell I said I would be interested in seeing proof of those sent emails because I never received anything from him at all after he left my house on March 14th. I reiterated the things he had done and said when he came to the house that I talked about above and said there was never a discussion regarding an engineer or anything remotely similar. I also said how disappointed I was. I never received any further communication from the designer, Customer Service Dept. person I communicated with that was cc’d on the email, or the owner that was cc’d on the email which is what has prompted me to leave the bad review. I am assuming the Customer Service Dept staff member and owner were cc’d when the designer finally responded to me because he was told to so they would know he did finally respond so I would stop “bothering them”. I can’t put into words how disappointed I am in the way I was treated by AES. I truly don’t think this behavior is typical from them based on the glowing reviews the company gets. It also appears they do beautiful work which is another reason I am disappointed. I still have no idea what the issue was but I had a horrible experience with them for whatever reason."

"I had a great experience with the American Contractor Near Me. They remodeled our cafe's kitchen and the new look is amazing. It was an absolute pleasure to work with this company. The crew members were incredibly patient, taking the time to thoroughly explain all of our options and patiently answering every question we had. I will hire them again for all my remodeling needs in the future"

"We write this review as a sigh of relief now that our renovation project with River View is finally complete. The quality of the final work is excellent, and the construction crew, architect, and county inspector were all great to work with. The original crew we worked with, led by Edwin, were so hardworking, friendly, thorough, and fast. That's what really pushed us from 2 to 3 stars. However, the process getting here was frustrating and unnecessarily chaotic. Timeline & Communication Issues: Initial promise: We were clear that the renovation had to allow us to live in our home during construction and be completed before Christmas. Early communication: Our original project manager, Cris, was personable, and early communication seemed fine, if a bit informal and sometimes inappropriately personal. Major miscommunication: Near the holidays, we discovered that the plans submitted included cutting into the roof — something we explicitly said we didn’t want. This contradicted verbal assurances and caused major last-minute changes. Project Management Failures: Poor planning and oversight: Cris and the architect’s plan didn’t align with the construction work. We had to get involved directly with the county to fix errors. Paperwork errors: Incorrect submissions to the county added delays and confusion, which we had to monitor ourselves. Last-minute scramble: We were cleaning up dust on Christmas Eve due to these planning failures. Personnel Turnover & Lack of Handoff: Cris leaves the company: No proper handover to James, the new PM, who was unfamiliar with our project. Crew replaced: The original crew, who were great, were gone; new crew had no context or direction. James leaves: Another handoff with no context — the third PM had no idea about our project or its outstanding items. Escalation mishandled: When we raised our concerns with Kyle, the CEO, the response felt dismissive, with no accountability for the previous missteps. In summary, it's a beautiful end result... but we’re glad it’s over. The process left us frustrated, confused, and frankly, exhausted."

"I just had Potts Brothers redo my bathroom and basement, and honestly, they killed it. The whole process was super easy, and the results are amazing. Youssef and Peter were awesome to work with. Youssef helped me figure out the design and had some great ideas that made everything look even better than I imagined. Peter oversaw the work and together with omar and the rest of the team, and they made sure everything was done right and on time. The bathroom is now my favorite part of the house—it’s modern, functional, and just looks so good. The basement went from being a storage dump to a space I actually want to hang out in. The quality of the work is really solid, and you can tell they care about the little details. What I really appreciated was how communicative they were. Youssef and Peter kept me in the loop the whole time, answered all my random questions, and made sure I was happy with how things were going. If you’re thinking about a remodel, I’d definitely recommend Potts Brothers. Youssef and Peter are a great team, and they made the whole thing stress-free. 10/10!"

"In the past, we’ve typically hired general contractors based on solicitations at our home. This has unfortunately resulted in more than a few misses. But we went through Angi this time and the pro we chose, Omar’s General Contracting, was definitely a hit. Omar was professional and communicative. His crew was great. On time, very tidy, reasonably priced, flexible, and a perfect finished product. We hired them on Sunday and they started on Monday. In two days, Omar and his crew were able to basically rebuild our entire eat-in kitchen ceiling following a large plumbing project. I honestly think it looks better now than it did before the work. Amazing. We wont be needing referrals for general contractors in the future. We’ve found our company. Thank you for the great referral, Angi and team."

"We needed an office area built in an open floor planned condominium, along with several bookcases. Jeff and his team proposed several ideas and we trusted his guidance. We could not be more happy with the results. The office area, bookcases and hidden storage are beautiful! Their work is top notch and well worth the money."
