"DO NOT use them for gutters! They simply charge you more and contract out the job but they do not inspect or guarantee the work. Went with Smallwood because of their reviews - thought I was going with a reputable company but it entire process has been frustrating .. time consuming and extremely disappointing . ( not to mention costly) In August we contacted Smallwood for gutter replacement. We decided to get new gutters, down spouts ( 19 feet front 19 feet back) and guards( back of townhome only as suggested by sales person ) for our town home and I paid for new fascia upfront to avoid the additional “surprise” charges that often come with gutter installation - very simple straightforward job with a price tag of $2300 - that is $57 dollars per square feet This is an exceptionally high rate even for fascia, gutters and 19 feet of leaf guard but even though the estimate was higher than the others we received - we wanted to make sure the job was done correctly due to past experiences and we went with Smallwood because the salesperson assured us we would get quality.. stress free work from a reputable family owned business. The estimate was relatively quick and easy - but It took multiple phone calls ( from me not them ) to schedule the work and over a month to complete the job.. and it was done by two different groups of workers. The taking down of old gutters ( this crew left over 30 nails in and around my home- which I had to remove because we have pets that can’t wait to go outside) and 2 different stages of repair means we had no gutters while waiting for the actual installation!! Once they finally completed the job - they reached out immediately for final payment ( the most efficient part of this job ) We noticed quickly that the front gutters leaked - ( not just dripping but pouring down the front of our house ) I contacted Smallwood and they assured us they would send someone out to check the problem. They also asked us to send pics and video ( which I did) .. I did not hear back so I contacted Smallwood again. They said they sent someone ? And he did not see a problem. I reminded them about the video.. 3 weeks later no response.. reached out yet again and this time was told that it the roof was installed without proper over hang so I would need a drip guard or leaf guard to move the water in to the gutter. for 19feet?? I asked if this issue was so obvious why didn’t they repair during the installation? No reason given but they did offer to fix the issue for $700 (due to their minimal charge policy) then promptly send a lower estimate of $400 ( so I would believe they were doing me a favor!!!!) It is Feb now and I still don’t have a resolution - I’m going to call another company for repair.. not giving Smallwood another penny of my money Red flags: * they do not give you an itemized estimate - so for example if your NEW gutters leak they can say the problem wasn’t included Even the receipt is not itemized! Beware! * contracting the work out ( just go with the less expensive company ) * the sales pitch about family owned and operated doesn’t help if they don’t have decent values or practice good customer service!"

The Pinkney Services is a full service Woman Owned commercial and residential construction company. We focus in new construction, renovation, and restorations. Our objective is to exceed the expectations of our clients, by working closely with our project managers, architects, and engineers to guarantee a quality product, on time and on budget.

"From start to finish, my experience with Pinkney Services was excellent. My teenage son reversed my SUV into my garage wall and damaged my kitchen. They took a rather unfortunate and very stressful situation and turned it into a positive experience. They were responsive, very professional, communicative, and managed the project seamlessly within the amount allocated by my insurance company. Their workmanship is top-notch, and they paid great attention to detail. They repaired the garage and restored my kitchen to what it looks like when I first purchased it at new construction. I highly recommend Pinkney Services for any construction needs."

Architects questions, answered by experts

The best way to start designing a house is to know what you want before designing. Making a list of your biggest priorities in a home will help. Designing a house without an idea of what you need or want in a home will lead to many trials and errors that could make it harder to figure out what you need in your design.

Architects can cater to both residential and commercial projects, tailoring their approach according to the specific sector regulatory requirements.

A cathedral ceiling is a type of vaulted ceiling with a symmetrical peak that follows the pitch of the roof. They typically peak at a height of 12 to 20 feet, although they can go higher. This dramatic height and steep peak mimic the architecture of many historic cathedrals, which is where they got their name.

The various types of architects can be broken down into eight distinct categories, but there can be specific specialties within each of them. Most homeowners will work with a residential, restoration, green, interior, landscape, or retrofit architect for projects. There are also lighting and commercial architects whose work is geared more toward large spaces and businesses.

The architect you choose to work with should have experience with the type of design you’re interested in, a portfolio of similar projects they’ve completed, and a process and work style that aligns with your expectations. A seasoned architect will be able to provide you with all that information so you can ensure they’re a good fit.
