"The whole experience was wonderful! Calvin Lee came to our home to measure the space and provided exactly what we asked for as our remodel design. Jason and his crew worked very hard to complete our kitchen as quickly as possible while doing excellent work. Christian always answered question and addressed concerns as the process went on. Jason followed up each evening to let us know what would happen next. They arrived on time each day worked full days. We got all new cabinets, flooring, countertops, lighting and paint. We couldn’t be happier with our new beautiful kitchen!"

"VKB Frederick remodeled our basement and turned an area that was mostly being used for storage into a space our family can actually enjoy. We wanted it to feel comfortable and finished, but also practical enough for everyday use. This was our first renovation of this size, so we had plenty of questions throughout the process. The team was responsive and explained things in a way that made it easier for us to make decisions. We also appreciated the crews attention to the finishing details because those little things really make a difference once the project is complete. The basement no longer feels like a basement. It feels like another level of our home, and we are using the space far more than we expected. We?re very pleased with the transformation and would recommend the VKB Frederick team."

"Howard Shires From American Home Contractors came out to my house today and repaired my roof. He arrived on time and did a great job. I would highly recommend Howard to anyone needing roofing work."

"I hired Romeo's Home Solutions to demolish an old wood shed and erect a metal shed. They arrived on time and began to work immediately. It turned out I ordered the wrong size shed. Romeo's crew went above and beyond to dig a larger foundation for the new shed. I highly recommend their services."

"Debbie, the AC&R salesperson, was very knowledgeable and confident. They were the 2nd quote I got for work and came in even lower than I expected (which gave me pause as a low bid is a red flag). But true to her word, they did the work professionally (mostly...see below) and promptly. While I had another company do the energy audit for the Pepco rebate, AC&R took over the work, did the blown fiberglass one day and the spray foam the next.



For the blown fiberglass in the attics above our additions, they added spray foam (from a can) around any gaps per the contract and foam board baffles at the soffits. The installer noted that all our soffits were blocked and the batting insulation was too wide for the rafter channels, so he leveled it out as best he could to ensure an even coating of blown insulation. At the end, he sealed up the gaps between the attic and our to-be-finished upstairs (cape cod style, so all one room).



For the spray foam insulation, the team came in the next day, and I had to be out of the house due to fumes. I did come back around noon as they expected to be done well before then. They didn't know I came in and I went to the back of the house to watch TV on my work break. The one annoyance was during their cleanup, one of the installers came down into our kitchen and then saw me. He said he was looking for a vacuum cleaner to clean the stairs. I told him don't worry about the carpet as it was getting pulled up, but this was the one piece of unprofessionalism I noted above. Contractors should NEVER use the homeowner's property; they should bring their own tools, including vacuums!



While the spray foam can get very messy, they kept the splatter mostly contained to inside the crawlspace, not the finished flooring. However, I was surprised that they didn't tape off the outlet covers or light switched. since the particles are so small, we're going to have to replace the switches/receptacles at our cost. Also, there was a storm door screen that wasn't covered and now needs cleaned. Basically, I think they should have taken more care in covering the very few items we left upstairs and the outlets/switches.



They didn't spray around the window frames (large gaps where window weights used to be) because the open cell foam would expand too much. If I wasn't there, I think they would have just left, but it was clear in our contract discussions they needed to insulate those spaces too. They used a few cans of "Good Stuff" equivalent, but didn't fill in the gaps entirely. It did the job well enough, but it's a ding against them as I expected more preparation.



Lastly, I thought that AC&R would walk me through all the scheduling and final "test out" (for the Pepco rebate), but I had to contact them and schedule with someone different each time. They were always prompt, but I expect the experts to know to do this for/with me rather than expect me to know the process. I go through it once in a lifetime while they do it weekly.



While the end of the review sounds more negative than positive, I would definitely recommend AC&R out to others as they're priced right, they have been in business for over a century, and like any contractor, you just need to follow up to be sure everything is done to your satisfaction.

"Ron our site manager responded quickly to any questions or concerns we had about the project. Chris, who did the majority of the work was very professional and considerate. He was on time every morning and if he wasn't coming out that day he called to let us know. We have not had any issues with the work that was done and are very happy with the addition. We would definitely use Coastal Builders again.

"The bottom line is that David Yungmann is the type of realtor I wish we had been fortunate to have for our previous 8 purchases and sales. We've moved all around the country and dealt with the full gamut of realtors. We found David to be refreshingly realistic - direct and up front in negotiations with us and the sellers, which helped us quickly develop a clear view of the neighborhoods, market, what we could afford, and how we could expect negotiations to go, As we've done in the past, we were looking for a house when moving to the Baltimore area without knowing much about the area or having much time to fly in and check out various neighborhoods. We chose David for reputation and he really exceeded our expectations across the board. We were only able to spend a few hours with him initially to discuss what we were looking for, and check out a handful of homes/neighborhoods. After our initial visit, he quickly identified what we were looking for and, from then on, it seemed he knew better than us. He focused us on the neighborhood that fit us best and when we chose a house, he drove (30 min from his office) numerous times to take pictures, videos, check on inspections, take measurements, etc, and helped navigate the negotiations to our advantage. Now, a year later we can happily say that we are in the house that we've always wanted, feel great about the deal we got on it, and are every bit as thrilled as the day we closed. David's dedication, knowledge, and temperment would also be ideal as a seller's agent; in fact we recommended him to our friends who are currently selling with the "warning" that he would not blow smoke about what their house was worth and what they could expect to get for it (we've definitely dealt with the opposite, both the rosy picture from someone who wanted our business too much and the doomsday scenario from someone who wanted a quick sell without putting in much work). They, too, appreciated his honesty and integrity and have hired him as they prepare to sell. If we could have brought David with us over the years, I'm sure we would have had many less headaches buying and selling (and would probably have saved much more $$ at this point!). If you want your purchase or sale to go as smoothly as possible, or need someone there who will fight as hard as you need when things don't go smoothly, I can assure you that you'll be happy if you choose David Yungmann."
