"We got 4 quotes for re-doing our entire exterior stucco walls and found E.M. Texture here on Angi and based on their reviews and price we decided to go with them. They were not the least or most expensive but right in the middle. Eliazar came out and walked through the process with me a few weeks before the job began, and I felt like I was in very good hands. On work day 1 a big crew came out and got to work and never slowed down. It was about an 8 day job with some downtime due to rain, but they came back as soon as it was dry enough to finish. The walls look spectacular! We are a very unique white stucco townhome community on the lake in Columbia and could not be happier with the way it turned out. Several neighbors have already contact E.M. to take on their work as well. Glenda in the office is nice and responsive and very professional. It's a great family business and I cannot recommend them highly enough!"

"Blue crab home solutions have been absolutely amazing in doing my full kitchen remodel. they did everything I wanted, made it exactly how I liked and went above and beyond to make it perfect. I would definitely recommend them and use them again in the future for any kind of home projects. Thank you Zach and your team!"

"I am a first time home-buyer and very new to the entire experience of renovating and remodeling. Chris and his team were exceptionally honest and patient in their explanation of projects and proposals. Their pricing was better than the other two estimates that we obtained, and his attentiveness to our designs was flawless. Chris and his team have done an exceptional job with our kitchen. It literally looks like a completely different house. The granite counter tops were installed flawlessly, and are such great quality for the price we paid. What really stands out is his team's willingness to fill in the gaps and help with parts of the kitchen that I didn't even know needed to be done: like when we had them install the double wall oven. I didn't know that there would be a huge gap to fill, and they filled it in with the same type of wood exactly. They don't cut corners at all and they make sure that the entire project is flawless. Although the project took a little longer than anticipated (because we caught them right at busy season) the work was well worth the wait. They installed our beautiful new sink and plumbing with no problems, and the granite is just exquisite. The centerpiece of our kitchen, the new island, is breathtaking. They installed a cook top and electrical outlet and completely customized it to our liking. We will definitely be consulting them for future jobs, and have already referred them to friends looking for work done too."

"I contracted Romero’s to apply stucco to the exterior of my cinder block foundation and to reconstruct a retaining wall. Expert job and I highly recommend their work."

"The tape on the seams of the drywall on my first floor ceiling were cracked in several rooms.  I received an estimate from Goode Design but ended up not getting the work done until almost a year later.  They patched the cracks in the three rooms where it was an issue and painted the ceiling bright white per my request.  This work took place in the Fall of 2015, I'm not sure of the exact date.

The Good: Overall I am very happy with their work, the two painters were hard working nice guys.  They showed up on time and got right to work moving furniture and prepping walls.  The price was reasonable for ceiling work and it looks much better.

The Bad:  There was a mix up in scheduling and nobody showed up for the first appointment.   The only negatives regarding the work performed were that they missed one small spot, hung up my curtains backwards and nicked a wall ( with a ladder I assume) but these were all very minor.  The seams are becoming noticeable again after several months but they are not cracking and I hope they don't.

Overall:  I will definitely use Goode Design again in the future and recommend them 100%."

"Mr. DiFatta's crew did a fantastic job! The foundation under the front porch had crumbled away after the harsh winter we just had. The fact that the house is about 100 years old didn't help either. They removed all the compromised parge coat and redid the entire foundation in a smooth coat of beautiful, clean light gray concrete. They also placed a barrier of soil / clay mix around the perimeter to move water away from the foundation. Considering all the work they did, and how beautifully it turned out, the price was a bargain. Especially given that Mr. DiFatta is so highly rated on Angie's List and so highly regarded by other contractors. I called my waterproofer (also fabulous - Bryan Waterproofing) for a recommendation, and Robin (the owner) asked "Did you call DiFatta?" That, to me, is saying something. And he had the best price of all the others! This is definitely my go to contactor for any future concrete needs. HIGHLY recommended."

"It went very well.  Anthony and his crew were very professional, courteous and attentive to details.   The crew arrived on schedule everyday.  I so enjoyed working with the crew that on three days I bought coffee and bread for them in the early mornings.  The entire job took about six days (there were some rain delays). My row house in upper NW DC is 87 years old, and now it is easily the most attractive home from the curb on my block.  They did an excellent job scraping, priming and then repainting the front Tudor wood beams (a dark chocolate brown), repairing and repainting the stucco (white), caulking windows, and repainting iron handrails.  The chocolate brown wood now pops on the newly painted white stucco.  
Anthony Barrera was always desiring to make me satisfied. Proof of this is that Anthony has offered to do one more small indoor painting job for FREE, just to makeup for one occasion when he wasn't able to meet an agreed to appointment. I told him this is very kind of him, and it's great customer service. They did a great job all around, and I'd happily work with them again."

"Painters arrived exactly on time and accomplished all tasks the same day. The manually stripped the deck and applied two coats of stain. They carefully cleaned and then painted the foundation concrete as it had got dirty over the years. They also scraped, caulked and painted a large bump-out window off our living room.
