We had our hearts set on adding a stone patio to our home, but after meeting with a few contractors, it did not work within our budget. When we started considering a deck, we had several contractors say that we could not get the features we wanted (Trex Transcend, black spindles, lighting mounted under the rails, etc.) within our budget. Nick came out to our home, talked with us for several hours, provided an estimate for everything we wanted in our deck, and it was under budget!!! Bruce built our deck; he was very thorough and did a great job. After the deck was completed, we had a problem with the lights not working; both Nick and a person from the lighting company (which is close to where we live) came out to inspect and fix the problem (one of the lights was faulty, but it was replaced the same day). We could not be happier with our deck and the price, quality and service that we received from Classic Remodeling!

We did this based on an excellent experience in our previous home in Annapolis, MD where they did a large basement renovation project for it. They helped us install a beverage refrigerator in a wet bar, put recessed lighting into multiple rooms, and installed ceiling fans. The work was extremely well done. We also had them do all the work while we were away and we came home to the work 100% finished and the project areas spotlessly clean. During the entire process our project manager communicated clearly via email and text messages about our project. Their communication and professionalism is unmatched. If you are looking for a contractor to assist with a renovation, remodel, or addition, I'd highly recommend you contact Bohan Contracting!

According to several subcontractors, Bohan was a good company initially, but they became greedy and took on too many projects. According to subcontractors in the area we have consulted with, superior Annapolis contractors refuse to work for them, in a few cases calling out their "designer" Jaime Esposito in particular. Bohan parked a huge dumpster in our driveway, insisted that we be out of our house in early January 2022, though the work on our house didn't start for MONTHS. Bohan's trucks from other parts of town would arrive nightly to dump their garbage. Bohan's workers told us they weren't allowed to dispose of refuse in the other neighborhoods in which they were working. That speaks to the consistent mistreatment of us and another family on our street who hired Bohan, judging our neighborhood to be not worth prioritizing. They are still not finished with either project! They've left us twisting in the wind -- but have had no problem collecting money from us. We were told we would be out of our house for 5 - 6 months and it turned out to be almost 16 months! The cost was almost TWICE their quote. Bohan's workers barely spoke English, were sloppy, didn't measure anything and were completely unskilled. On one visit to the site, they had to find a child who spoke English to even be able to communicate with us. Every subcontractor Bohan hired appeared to be the bottom of the barrel. Every day we find mistakes and poor workmanship. It was, and continues to be, the most depressing and disappointing experience we've ever had. They refused to compensate us for any of the aggravation they put our family through. We ended up sleeping in the workshop of our carpenter son, who was unable to work for the entire 15+ months we were forced to stay there. The architect/engineer DAMES Design, who we had great hopes for, left out items such as the water heater, found egregious errors in Bohan's work (including going over her head to hire a different engineer) but then told us WE had to pay her an extra $2000+ for dealing with it! Avoid DAMES Design! Advice before renovating your house -- HAVE A LAWYER on hand to read the contract first and to be ready for litigation.

Chesapeake Energy Homes is unprofessional and does not provide good workmanship. This process with…read moreDon has been an absolute nightmare. We entered into a contract with Don for a modular addition. Before he tries to belittle this review by saying "I didn't pay him". Yes, I withheld the final 2% left on the contract but we had already overpaid him. We have invoice dates and payment dates to prove this. Don has a history of NOT PAYING his subcontractors and they started sending bills and lien notices to my house. Contractors started showing up at our house demanding payment that Don owed them. Many sub-contractors talked about how it was hard to get Don to pay them and how he would start ignoring their calls for payment. They would also tell us Don would tell them it was because we had not paid him, which is not true. As soon as we made Don aware of subs asking us for money, he blocked our numbers and did not finish the rest of the job. He will say we refused to let him finish his work but that is not true, we told him to forget about repeatedly trying to fix the drywall he put up but that he needed to finish the rest of the work. We have a giant bubbly vein running across our stairwell wall that Don could not fix after several tries. We were living in so much drywall dust for WEEKS because of all his attempts. Here are just a few issues we had since google puts a limit of 4100 characters, we could very well write pages worth. His contracts are HEAVILY skewed in his favor and designed for him to basically just walk away on the trail end. We had paid 95% of the contract just on delivery of the modular addition. Leaving only 5% left on the contract before many subs even started working. Don estimated completion to be 6-8 weeks after the addition was delivered, he blocked us at about 17 weeks in and job is still not finished 25 weeks later. Don had his young family member doing most of the work that he later told us he does not pay wages to but just pays his bills for him. No wonder the work is so sloppy. CEH was painting 2 different colors and only had 1 brush every time they would paint, he would constantly have to wash the paint brush in our sink leaving a mess. His son scratched our new dining room chair by using it as a stool and then taking a dirty vacuum hose and vacuuming up dust on it, scratching it (yes, I have video). He borrowed lots of our own tools and damaged some, ladders, shovels, brooms etc. Our basement flooded to his negligence. I told him several times that they did not seal the gap between the foundation of the original house and the addition. We got heavy rain and because of this we were sucking out water from our basement for over 6 hours in the middle of the night. Our addition did not have siding or gutters for several weeks leaving the addition vulnerable to the elements and during a heavy rain we had water leaks between the addition and current home damaging our ceilings. His painting skills are abysmal at best, he WILL not always use tape. He will just go back and repaint over his blemishes, create more blemishes and then go back and repaint those. When he caulked our bathroom sink he put the caulk over an inch up the new wall and an inch on the sink and then tried to scrape it off the sink and painted over the caulk on the wall. Weve had over 5 subcontractors contact about money that he hasn't paid to them and im sure there are more. When we found him, he initially had good reviews and then a few months later we started noticing the bad ones come in. This led us to judiciary case searching him and his business. We also noticed it looks like he has friends and family posting his good reviews. For the cement parging on the cinderblock foundation, He did the front of the house and stopped. The front portion doesn't look bad but then waited weeks later to finish on the coldest day of the year, This type of work is meant to be done in warmer weather so as you can imagine, it looks horrible and is cracked up all over, sloppy and very uneven.

From the new acrylic shower and tub to the cabinets, in-wall storage, flooring, lighting, fans, and paint--everything looks fantastic. David, Oliver, and their crew were exceptionally professional and focused on the job. David went out of his way to accommodate our schedule and made sure the project matched our exact vision. When we wanted to make changes, there was never any pushback. Instead, they asked for details, sent us photos of fixture and material options to choose from, and handled it seamlessly. They also truly went above and beyond when they fixed two pipe leaks for us, repaired the walls, checked for mold, and treated it properly on the spot. The pricing was very reasonable and the quality of work was top-tier. I would definitely recommend Daybrook to friends and family. We plan on remodeling our kitchen in the future and will absolutely be giving David a call when the time comes!

Found this place on facebook, Joe responded immediately on facebook messenger and got the details needed from me. He made suggestions on what kind of sealant to use for the deck. He mentioned that they were booked for the season. By this time, I was impressed with the prompt communication and their service, I have decided to go with them and wanted to wait for their next available appointment. Joe responded after a few days saying that an availability opened up and should be able to wash my deck in a couple of weeks. He kept me informed the whole time. I was given all the instructions and what to expect before their visit. On the scheduled date, their crew came and power washed the deck thoroughly. Next day, they promptly showed up and stained it. Overall, I was impressed with the service and the price. I would recommend them without any hesitation.

I'm glad George had a pleasant experience, but I did not, and would not recommend them. I hired…read moreGrime Busters to power wash my house, with special attention to all of the windows. Also, they were to power wash my deck and seal it. The windows needed special attention because spiders build webs in the windows then poop all over them. It's really gross, and I especially hired Grime Busters to take care of this problem. I specified this as the reason I was getting my house pressure washed. As such, I was told to remove all of my window screens to ensure the best results. So when they were finished, imagine my anger when I looked in my upstairs window and it looked as if water hadn't touched the window at all. OK. We all make careless mistakes. I called and someone came back out to inspect the job of the previous person. Agreed they didn't do a good job, but he didn't come back with a pressure washer to fix the problem! He asked me to use my pressure washer...uhh, WHAT? That's not all. The original washer also left whole areas of my deck unwashed then sealed over them. You could look and tell the angle he washed the stairs and balusters - imagine the sun casting a shadow is the best way I can describe it. So of course when he sealed the deck, whole areas of the deck didn't get sealed, because they weren't washed properly. I was also told the seal would last (assuming proper washing, of course) for 3-5 years. Even on the areas I felt were properly washed, rain water stopped beading on the deck within weeks. The last thing is they were to restain my white deck railings, and they did this, but sloppily. I have white wood railings on white (pvc? plastic-like) balusters. The white stain for the wood can be seen on the plastic -like balusters. In all, while I appreciated their attitude and they were very respectful, I paid $2500 to have a job done well and it was not. And returning without the equipment to correct the problem was pretty inexcusable.

For their price, I could do an entire master bath gut with everything new with the highest quality products. We just wanted tile replaced, no plumbing, or electrical. My guess is that if they get 1 in 10 deals closed, then they are doing really well. Was ashame because we like their product and the company, but the price was insane. Which is why you have to sit through the sales pitch to get a price. Of course we knew they would be expensive, but not this expensive. 2 hours of my life I will never get back. Beware when a company mandates that you and your spouse both have to be available for the sales pitch. That was a red flag. Then when they wouldn't get done in 90 minutes, they wanted to schedule another appointment. Heck no. I made him stay and finish. Unless you have money to throw away, look elsewhere. Better and cheaper options out there.

When they arrived, we had some water in the basement and they quoted us based on their normal pricing. Once the concrete came up, we couldn't believe what we were dealing with. It's a constant flow of water that required two sump pits and an insane amount of work to install our drainage system. Every time they tried to dig a pit it would backfill with sand and water- they had to dig this up painstakingly- foot by foot. We thought for sure we were in for additional costs, but they stuck by the original estimate. Since then, any time we've had an issue or a question, they are quick to answer. Poor Kelly and Bobby probably recognize our number on the caller ID but whenever we make a call or send an email, we always get a response- usually with a visit on the same day. We highly recommend this company for their honesty, customer service, and quality work.
