They sanded and put down 2 coats of poly,( their standard procedure) but it's not very glossy. I was concerned after the first coat (Monday the 10th) as the surface looked dull and flat. I called and I was told not to worry. Today, I called after the work was completed, where I was told that they would be happy to add additional coats of poly, for an added fee. I shouldn't have to pay more money . . . I am not in the floor refinishing business, and I don't know if it will take 2 coats or 12 coats of poly to achieve a certain level of finish. I expect the estimator to know this information, and communicate it to me. If it requires more than they typically do, I need to be made aware of this!! If it requires more than the standard, it needs to be in the contract. Telling me afterwards is not professional. The contract says 2 costs - OK. So, they stuck to the contract, but it isn't what they told me they would do! Nor is it what I told the estimator I wanted. If you're not concerned about matching to existing floors in the home, then AG Floors is just fine. But if you want to match something existing in the home.....?? Maybe not. Under Professionalism, I also had to ding them due to the helper vacuuming up dust, I saw him open the front door and empty the vacuum hose contents onto my front porch! Really?? You're dumping the dirt on the front porch, where you're walking in and out?? When I asked him what he was doing, he just smile since he didn't understand my English. More poor communications!!

After looking over the vast amount of junk I had, Mark presented me with a quote of $275.00 I felt this was completely reasonable considering the amount of junk, and the fact that due to the previous nights rain, it was too muddy to get to the back of my home, which meant having to haul everything out a ways to get to his truck. He backed his truck down and as far as possible and proceeded to demo all the furniture-quite quickly! He then loaded all the bags and miscellaneous odds and ends and was done in about 45 minutes. I am in the process of clearing out a three floor townhouse in preparation for a move, and definitely plan on using Mark again. As a side note, I had asked Mark to give me a quote for moving, he declined as he did not want to track mud through my home, instead offering to come back out next week. I was impressed that he'd rather take time out of another day and drive back to my home, rather than potentially track mud through the house.

The technician called me early to say he was running behind and would be there by 11 (original window was 9:30-10:30) however he was there at 10:15. He supposedly serviced the A/C unit, told me it was working fine but since it was old I should start considering replacing it. (Unit is 17 yrs old). But there was no pressure or anything to purchase from them so I was satisfied until 6 weeks later when the A/c went out. I had ot go through my home warranty company to avoid paying for the repairs - when the tech came out he told me my motor burned out because the A/C unit had not been serviced, then he took me up in the attic with him to show me.

Do not recommend unless you want to pay top dollar for bottom barrel install. We moved into a home with a Shaw's 2016 heat pump install and will be spending thousands to address the poor quality of the air handler install. Code violations, no permits pulled, didn't follow manufacturers...
When I first met with the estimator (Yasmin Cartagena) I showed her the existing hardwood floors in the dining room and living rooms, which is very shiny & glossy. I told her I wanted the kitchen floors to look just as glossy - they don't! ( Yes, I know that the living/dining room floors...

FAQs for dirt hauling projects in Swanton, MD
The kinds of items or materials accepted will vary by hauling company. Some companies will not handle hazardous waste, but hiring ones that do will cost from $5 to $100 or more, depending on what type and quantity of material.
Most companies will haul items such as:
Construction and remodeling waste: $100–$600
Appliances: $50–$600
Furniture: $50–$400
Electronics: $60–$200
Yard waste: $70–$500
Unfortunately, some plumbing scenarios, like a broken sewer pipe repair, will require excavation to complete the job. Plumbing excavation costs range from $30 to $70per cubic foot. However, if you need additional trenching, expect to pay an extra $4 to $12per linear foot. Keep in mind that these costs are on top of the plumbing repair costs, and they don’t account for labor costs. Consult your excavation specialist to determine an accurate estimate for your job.
The cost to hire a professional junk hauling service ranges from $60 to $600, averaging about $270. Your final price is determined by the type of junk, amount of junk, the distance to the dumpsite, and the equipment required to move and haul your items or materials. Keep in mind that construction junk removal is more expensive than hauling household items, so expect to pay $800 for removing large piles of debris.
The average cost for pool excavation is $2,500. This cost can range from $450 to $4,500, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities.
When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional $15 to $25per linear foot to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it’ll cost an additional $2,000 to $20,000. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages $450 to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages $3,020.
The cost for residential excavation is $3,200 on average, ranging between $50 and $200per cubic yard. Total costs could range from $500 to $15,000, depending on the project type, yard size, and soil type.
When a project needs an excavator, the contractor will subcontract one as part of the larger project. If you hire an excavation specialist, you can expect to pay between $40 and $180per hour. When excavating, if you have soil with excessive rocks or clay deposits, expect an additional cost of $200 to $1,200.
