Home Depot came in around $1,900.00 to do the work from start to finish. Go with First Choice and you will never go wrong."

"A representative from Paramount Builders was walking our neighborhood and talked to my husband; shortly after, we met with Marvin, one of their marketing representatives. He thoroughly reviewed the company with us, what they do, Paramount's service and guarantees, pricing, and timelines. Marvin gave my husband and I time to talk it through before we decided to go with it - he was fantastic at explaining the company, the product, and the unique marketing system Paramount uses. The only downside to that experience was that it did take more than two hours, and my husband had to go to bed (he works an early shift.) The unique marketing: Paramount sends reps to a neighborhood to walk around and talk to homeowners with needs; they make appointments with homeowners, and then present the services, and give an estimate on the work. But here's the thing: they have a brilliant marketing system. The first home in the appointed coverage area that a) hires them for work and b) signs contract at that time gets a laaaarge discount on the price of the job. To get the discount, the homeowner agrees to put up a yard sign for Paramount Builders for 45 days; the homeowner agrees to write an HONEST review on Angie's List; and the homeowner is asked to take 'before' and 'after' pictures, and allow them to be used in marketing materials (with all identifying information removed). Because we took that deal, we saved hundreds. Now, I am perfectly aware of marketing tactics, how that approach could build pressure, and the fact that the company could be inflating prices to shine up the 'discount.' Happy to report, we found out that Paramount Builders guarantees the following: They build, buy, and purchase all needed materials (they measure your house and extrude gutters to fit) They prepare all materials ahead of time They do not use subcontractors - all crews are company employees So, yep, we did it. From the first person we talked to until the last, every person was kind, communicative, responsive, and happy to help. Everyone at Paramount Builders kept us up to date with every step of the process to pay for and install our new gutters - signing contracts, signing financing documents, setting the installation appointment, and getting the final 'we did the work' signoff from my husband (who was there when the gutters were installed). And the cooooooolest thing? The Paramount Team called before they came with an installation timeframe of 4 hours. They came within that timeframe. It took them AN HOUR AND A HALF to remove the old gutters, back bases, drainpipes, and clear the pipe extensions ... and to install the new back bases, gutters, drainpipes, and hook up the pipe extensions. And my husband said it was quiet - he didn't know the Paramount Team was done until they knocked on the door! So, summary: - Great marketing - Awesome company employees, all around - Dedicated employees, all around - Excellent customer service - Superb materials and equipments - SUPER quick installation - Is a wonderful company!!! TL;DR: Paramount Builders are awesome; if they come by your house, hear them out!"

"The work crew (John Rector and his assistants, Brandon and Ibrahim), were excellent -- friendly, hard-working, conscientious, efficient, and ready to answer all questions. My only issue was that part of the work (peformed by a subcontractor to JES) left about an 8" X 8" hole in the wall in order to install an electrical cable. JES considers the repairs for this hole to be "cosmetic" and maintains that I'm responsible for the repairs. I respectfullly disagree and don't believe that the hole can be described as cosmetic. Otherwise, we had a good experience with JES."

"Replaced our Furnace and Air Conditioner as partners with Home Depot. Totally PROFESSIONAL and expertly knowledgeable. McCarthy sent Joseph, a civil engineer, to the house to evaluate what would be the best equipment to match our house requirements. I was set to pay another provider to install a two stage furnace, but McCarthy advised that my house ducts did not support such a heating system, and I would be wasting $. And, whereas another provider would have required us to cut away a portion of the furnace room door frame, McCarthy designed and installed an angled furnace connection to the house duct to reposition the new furnace and preclude the unnecessary expansion of the door opening. McCarthy took the extra step of checking the county blueprint information of our house to ensure a matching furnace with the proper amount of BTU's, etc. McCarthy presented a long hand-written, comprehensive estimate with three different furnace options. Cesar, a knowledgeable professional led the installation team, answered all my questions, and expertly installed our furnace and air conditioner. The Fairfax County requirements were more stringent than when our house was built, and McCarthy ensured our new HVAC complied with these new county requirements, e.g., relocating the Air Conditioner further from the house exterior gas line. Emerson, another expert furnace technician followed up a week later and checked/tweaked the furnace operation. After dealing with so many experts, I enrolled in McCarthy Services' Pros Club for six-month check-ups by the best in the business!"
One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.

Qualified, licensed electricians will charge from $50 to $100 per hour. The cost to hire an electrician for emergency visits may range from $100 to $200 per hour because this urgent service usually takes place during off hours and may require an electrician to leave or reschedule jobs they’re currently working on. Scheduling work on holidays or during periods of high customer demand, like after a major storm, will also lead to higher rates or extra fees.
