We hired Cardigan to completely remodel our owner's bathroom. We first met with the owner, Jim, in…read moreNovember last year with the intent of just getting a price and ultimately hired them to begin work in December to be completed by Christmas. The thing I remember most about that first meeting was the personalized board they had up welcoming me and my spouse (Mr. and Mrs. D) - a really nice touch, albeit slightly incorrect as I was there with my husband, and when we went back to pick out selections they had updated it to be somewhat more accurate (The D. Family). Jim, the owner, was straightforward when we spoke with him and offered a competitive price compared to the other estimates we received. After we accepted the contract, Jim's sister and the company designer, Kim, was particularly patient with us as we spent upwards of two hours picking out the various components for the new bathroom, successfully finding solutions to mediate style disagreements between me and my husband. Overall, we were both very happy with our selections and excited for the new bathroom to be complete. The workers were excellent and displayed great professionalism during the remodel. The work began in early December, but was stalled a little bit due to the cabinet and vanity not arriving in time. The bathroom was functional, though not finished, before the desired Christmas date. It has been three weeks since the job completed and we have been satisfied so far with the bathroom. With the work, there were two (both immediately fixed) problems that stood out: First, the new toilet was installed slightly at an angle. We emailed Cardigan of the problem. When they came out the next time to continue working on the bathroom, the worker immediately saw the toilet was not level, apologized that he didn't catch it when he installed it, and made the toilet level to the floor. Second, when we started using the shower a week after installation, the shower was draining extremely slowly. Again, I emailed and called regarding this issue, and they fixed it that day despite Jim attending a funeral that morning. One of the workers came by that evening with a snake and fixed the problem. I was extremely impressed at their responsiveness. Overall, I am giving five stars due to the personalization, work quality, responsiveness, professionalism of the workers, and our happiness with the final result. When we finally move on to remodeling our kitchen in a few years, we will definitely be looking at Cardigan. The attached pictures include a picture of the shower before the bathroom was painted, and a picture of the other side of the bathroom after all of the work was completed.

In 2026. I contacted T&T for a new estimate since I knew it would be higher due to the cost of everything being increased. For the past three months I have been trying to obtain the new estimate. I was asked to forward the old estimate because they could not locate what I was previously given. I was told to check spam for an estimate that was never sent. Then they were contacting the City of Gaithersburg to obtain the electrical permit. After calling every day for the last two weeks for the status of the permit from the City of Gaithersburg, the owner finally admitted he could not do the job. Why was this not communicated when I called in May. I am disappointed with the run around. This was very unprofessional. I decided to return since they replaced my AC unit and had already provided an estimate for the electrical replacement. In 2024, they were very responsive but not that way in 2026.

I needed a new furnace and I wanted a UV system on top. as long as I was getting that work done, I asked if it would be possible to save money by doing a new condenser coil now, since that sits atop the furnace/blower stack. But I said several times I only wanted that if it was compatible with my current AC system, AND would still work for a new system when I replaced the aging AC unit next year. He said absolutely. He did the install, told me everything was complete, took payment and left. I called him up and asked why I couldn't seem to locate the UV system I had paid for. "Sorry. I forgot about the UV. I will come back and install it in a week or two." This did not inspire confidence, but I figured maybe it's an honest mistake. He didn't mean to lie about finishing the work, he just forgot. Later that winter my gas goes out and when the utility guy came out to fix it he said the issue was that the spot where the line goes into my house had iced over, and whoever had installed my furnace had failed to but the cover back over this thing. I don't know what kinda cover he meant, but I've lived here 7 years and had much icier winters, so I believe there must have been a cover that was missing if this comparatively mild winter had frozen my natural gas line. BG&E (my utility company), had to dig under my AC unit and replace a whole section of gas line as a result. A few more months go by and its hot outside now. My AC doesn't work, and I'm assuming it's because it sprung a leak when BG&E was digging underneath it, but it's very old and I was assuming I'd need to replace it soon. Given all that has happened up to this point I am not sure if T&T is the best service to call, but they did give me a quote that was $100 lower than anyone else when I was shopping around to get a new furnace, and I want to at least get a quote from them. I leave a message saying I need a quote for a new AC system, That's the whole message. NO RESPONSE I text the text service and I am assured I someone will get in touch with me soon by the AI who texts me in response (while pretending to be a real person, which is a pet peeve of mine, but fine.). That was Friday afternoon, and when I don't hear back all weekend, despite the AI telling me they did weekend calls, I am disappointed but not surprised, I am surprised they don't get back to me by Monday afternoon. I call again, and interact with the text AI again, but to no avail. That was a week and a half ago, I don't think I'll be hearing back from them ever. I am in the process of gathering other quotes when someone tells me it's a shame I will have to replace the condenser coil. I don't believe them because this guy assured me new AC systems would be compatible, so I look up the specs on this condenser coil I had installed 8 months ago. Nope, not compatible with new systems. He lied to my face. I AM LIVID! This might not be a per-meditated scam, he might just be really bad at his job. Forgetting what he charged for and needs to actually install. Forgetting to put things back together correctly so they don't ice over and break. Forgetting what kinds of condenser coils are compatible with what systems and confidently insisting that everything is fine even when I ask multiple times. At the end of the day it doesn't matter. I should have gone with a higher quote from a more expensive HVAC installer who would do things correctly and answer my questions honestly.
