I came in to get an estimate on framing our wedding photo and invitation as sort of a collage. I tried Michael's before coming here and it was nearly impossible to find someone in their framing department who could help. Anyhow, Joe shared some ideas while ensuring they aligned with my desired outcome. We picked the perfect matte/frame and it was all priced pretty well. I wasn't expecting Michael's pricing when I walked in, since this was a professional shop and they had some beautiful pieces on display. Giving a 5 star rating based on my experience and hope the final product is equally as good!

Two by Four owner I'm guessing Gary emailed me and said they would swing by and take a look and quoted me the price and a time frame they would arrive between 730-8 and they were right in time!!!!! I also appreciate that they didn't give me a four hour window. The guys were professional and courteous and the cost was $225. But I did check around and that seems to be within ranges. I have to see what else they can fix!

I just opened a new game store in College Park, Maryland. I needed new flooring, the walls were…read morecovered in slat racking that needed removal, and I needed the space painted. I talked to Eric and he was fantastic! He was able to get his team in quickly, the work was performed far beyond anything I'd expected, and both he and his on-site foreman were very responsive. We had two challenges, both of which Eric and his team overcame with speed, quality delivery, and excellent customer service. We were working on a tight timetable, so I was receiving store fixtures while construction was ongoing. Eric and his team were able to work around this without any problems. Second, my initial flooring choice became unavailable between the time I selected it and ordering. When this happened, Eric and I went down to Home Depot together and found another option that looked better, was higher quality, and cost less. I cannot recommend Eric and A&E construction enough! 100% would use again. In fact, I have some upcoming work that I need to do on my home. I bid this job to five other companies, but I'll just be reaching out to Eric directly on that one.

His team is very nice and the work is amazing. We had 21 different quotes and hands down felt comfortable with Eric. He won't try to price hike after a contract begins, provides detailed updates, and quickly understands what you want. Our project was as close to a gut renovation as you could get without demoing the whole place. The project turned out amazing and was done within 2 months. We moved walls, changed flooring, the entire kitchen, stairs and rail system, new ceilings, paint, trim, and so much more. On top of the great work, he provides a warranty on all his work. I highly recommend A&E for any project. I won't use any other contractor besides them.

We have used Gilday Renovations for three major projects on our Chevy Chase, DC home, dating back…read moreto the 1980s. Because we were happy with the earlier projects, we recently used Gilday to renovate our kitchen and laundry room. Based on this most recent experience, I would not recommend Gilday. What should have been a 5 - 6 month project following demolition of the old kitchen and laundry room turned into a 14-month project, with lengthy delays where nothing got done. So many things went wrong with the project that they are too numerous to cite, but they include (i) multiple mistakes and defects in construction of the cabinets by the manufacturer (Greenfield) that Gilday recommended as the top of the lines it offered, which took months to resolve and some of which required multiple replacement pieces, (ii) lighting issues -- both under-cabinet lighting that created large areas of dark shadow and recessed ceiling lighting where the cans repeatedly went bad -- that Gilday did not know how to fix (we ultimately figured out how to address the issues based on extensive research on our part), (iii) caulking and painting that had to be redone multiple times (and we ultimately gave up trying to fix the different kinds of gloss on the sides of the refrigerator cabinet since it was done wrong twice), and (iv) frequent long delays in Gilday's response to emails and scheduling of work. The best work on the project was done by the two carpenters, both the one who initially worked on the project before leaving the company and the one who replaced him, but they usually worked with no helpers, which contributed to the very slow pace of the project. Notwithstanding all the many problems that plagued the project, we are pleased with how the kitchen and the laundry room look (and hope the workmanship will stand the test of time). But getting to this point was very painful, and we will not use Gilday again.

Even though we were outside of their service area, they took the time to ask questions, understand our needs and provided advice about the planning and implementation process of a home renovation.

After a very bad experience with an online printing company (Discounted Printing) I decided to find…read morea local printer where I could get my business cards done in town with a face-to-face conversation with the printer. In order to get the coating I wanted they sent the cards out. They looked nothing like the $20 proof he showed me and the edges were ragged. In fact, the cards looked worse than the ones I received from the online company and they were 6X the price. They agreed to reprint the cards (in house?) without the coating. The new cards were better, not great, but passable. What was really disconcerting was the very evasive response I got to every question I asked with regard to pricing and procedures for printing. I'll find another "local" business next time where I know exactly what I'm getting and exactly how much it will cost.
