Even though he was voted Best Contractor/Builder in 2012, that was all based on his long reputation in our area and not the reputation of his new partner who quoted and took over my project. From April through September 2013, and it's still ongoing, we have gone through more then anyone could have ever expected and that is not a good thing. Early on in our project, when the roof was compromised, a large thunderstorm came up and leaked into our bedroom/bathroom area 2/3rds of the way into the rooms. When I spoke to the contractor I was told all would be made as new. When the actual work was performed, this was not the case and I constantly had to intervene to ensure new insulation was placed where the old was soaked, new carpeting was done (even though they did order and had installed the wrong carpet that I had to order myself and have installed later). The wall between the new build out and our room had to be replaced as pat of our remodel but other things like the ceiling drywall was not replaced and I am waiting for stains to show through the paint even though I was promised a 5-year guarantee that it would not leak through.
All the items were ordered incorrectly from the windows and doors to carpet and other items to include the tile in addition to shortages and all my cabinetry was ordered incorrectly to include the mirrors and cabinet fronts style.. The 1st subcontractor they sent to do the tile was overwhelmed by the project and only finished 1/2 and his boss had to come to finish it but not to anyone's satisfaction. Unfortunately I'm embarrassed to show this work to anyone and am much less happy to pay for it but we will and plan to contact Holmes on Holmes or someone on the HGTV network to see if he or someone from their network could make this right. It's so crazy to pay for something you don't even know if it might be leaking under our house, based on what they did above the floor that we can see, it scares me to see what's under the floor.
While our remodel was in progress, a house across from us was completed from start to finish along with an outside assembled toy set with swings for their kids. We also had an in-ground swimming pool installed and built our own fence that no one else was willing to touch with a ten-foot pole after we contacted them because they said it was too hard. This was done within two months of the completion of the pool and we have had and passed our final inspection on our swimming pool and our other bathroom/closet remodel is STILL not finished. Because of the partner they hired/fired.
I do not feel I should have to pay them the balance of roughly $3600 due to these issues but according to them, they have spent about $70K on this project and being behind (though no fault of mine) makes it a necessity they collect the full price. I suggested a 10% discount since this work has been going on since April 2013 and we have been inconvenienced by being unable to use our bedroom/bathroom during the entire remodel doe to the early and unexpected/unnecessary leak because of where they cut the roof off before the storm and the lack of coverage to keep rain from coming into our home. Additionally it was expected and according to the contract that the work would be completed in a timely fashion that I consider to be within 3 months.
Due to the ongoing and many required fixes that will need to be done before we can agree to pay this bill in it's entirely, it will be a long time before I will feel any goodwill toward this contractor for any work on any thing they have done. I have to admit it's been better since I'm working with the owner of GAB-L rather than his partner Daniel but even so, the work is not done satisfactorily. It's amazing what they expect to be acceptable. I suppose a handyman's certificate in WV is all you need to do the punch out lists of any project in this area for GAB-L.
I'm sorry but I expect a knowledgeable contractor or subcontractor to come by my place to finish out any work at the end since it's all being done haphazardly. I'm all about getting things done quickly and well and I asked the last gentleman if his wife would approve of his and quot;fixand quot; and he said and quot;probably notand quot; so it that's the case then do it right, do it so your spouse or whomever would approve. I felt he was trying to prove a point against the tile guy but that's not my problem, just fix the darn thing so it looks decent and move on...!

Hertz in Philadelphia told us that the Hertz Office in Martinsburg was not open and scheduled us for a two-day rental to return the car on Monday morning. We only used the car for six hours so called the corporate number on the website who informed us that although there was a key box they were not considered an after-hours location and they could not help us; however, we called the local number and left a message. When we went to thesite to return the car this morning he had contacted the main office and made arrangements to only charge us until the time of our call on Saturday evening - which was still 24 hours but that is the policy of all car rental companies - a one day rental is for a 24 hour rental. We also rented a car from this same person and office when our car was being repaired about a year ago and experienced the same customer service. They delivered the car and also offered to pick it up but we dropped it off because we were going by the building that day. Our daughter rented a car from them when she was home for a visit several months ago and also commented on their professional and efficient way of providing customer service and responding to their requests. I would recommend them to anyone. The only draw-back is the fact that they do not have an after-hours drop off so unless you rented the car from them to be returned to them and make prior arrangements, you couldl possibly run into a problem trying to return the car after noon time on Saturday until Monday morning.

Outdoor unit leaked all it's freon, so the choice was to repair a 10 year old builder's grade unit or replace with a new York system. I called on a Monday at about noon, and their tech was at my house later that afternoon. Appalachian was by far the least expensive of the quotes I obtained. Bobby (technician and estimator) was very friendly and seemed to be very knowledgeable. He recommended the mid-grade York system, rather than the top of the line unit. My wife and I decided to go ahead with the quote and get the new system installed. From the time we paid the deposit until the time they showed up to install the new system was 7 days. That's impressive for being the hot summer season when everyone is very busy. Their crew of three men showed up at about 7:15am and were finished by about 1:45pm. The outdoor unit is very nice, high quality and it's so quiet you can barely hear it run. The indoor unit has about the same sound level as our old system. I asked for a specific programmable thermostat and they agreed to install that exact model. Another plus. There were a couple minor issues but to their credit, Bobby was back out just a couple days later to address each one of those issues and they are making it right. I've had lots of work done to my house over the years by various contractors, and they've ranged from poor quality to top notch. I would rate Appalachian HVAC near the top of the list in terms of quality.

We had Scott and his crew build a 12x20 second story deck. The whole process was very quick which included getting the permit and then the actual deck build only took a few days. Communication was great and also Scott is very knowledgeable. They also came in with the lowest quote by far. ...

FAQs for barndominium building projects in Charles Town, WV
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.
Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity.
The average price per square foot to build a house is about $150 per square foot. Overall, the cost to build a house ranges anywhere from $100 to $500 per square foot, depending on where you build. The primary cost factors include location, size, and style of house you build.
The cost to build a detached garage for two cars costs about $26,400 on average. Prices range from $19,200 to $33,600, depending on your location, the garage size, height, materials, and site prep required. Additional cost factors include any plumbing, electrical wiring, and insulation. If you need to build a concrete foundation for a new detached garage, you can expect to pay $1,000 to $8,600 for this essential addition.
The average cost to remodel a garage is around $18,000, ranging from $1,500 to $50,000, depending on size, materials, location, and other factors like plumbing and electrical. Garage remodels that include changing the roof and walls add significant expenses to the project. Plus, you can expect to pay about $1,400 for the building conversion permits. For a simple remodel, like painting interior walls and recoating the garage floor, it will cost about $2 to $5 per square foot.
