Designer Surfaces - Project lead measured incorrectly (assuming 10" overhang instead of 14"); I chose to help troubleshoot instead further delaying install.

I have used them twice over the years. They allow you to pick your slab from their fab shop, if you…read morechoose. They assist you along the way to ensure you love what you are getting. This picture shows the Corian that was installed by them in 2004- still looks great and a marble slab on the island. We bought a new house and they will for a third time, take care of us. Highly recommend!

I'll go middle of the road on my review only because my countertops look great and once the owner…read moregot involved, my counters were installed the following week. Without going into details mirroring the 1 star reviews, we waited weeks past our template date before reaching out only to get the runaround from our point of contact (Jean). Like others, I was led to believe that 2-3 weeks following templating, they'd be installing.... After calls/emails from both my wife and I were blown off, I decided to cancel my order citing that the materials had not been ordered so there was no need to keep a deposit that hadn't yet been spent. Following an exasperated call with a person who turned out to be the owner's sister, the owner ended up calling me back and apologizing for my experience and assured me the materials were located less than 10 minutes away (my POC said they were coming from another state and were "delayed"). Owner made good on his word and my countertops were installed the following week as promised. I can't help but wonder where we'd be if I simply left a message for Jean instead of insisting my deposit be returned and my project cancelled. I was referred to this shop by a friend who remodels for a living (I'm the idiot who decided to remodel my own kitchen). From my friend's comment as well as others who have posted, it's clear they're struggling to deliver on promises made. If I were to do this again, I'd go with another shop (several here and around Frederick City). Again, countertops look amazing but I'd guess most places would deliver the same quality product and install sans the empty assurances offered by Designer Surfaces. If you've already paid your deposit and are stuck in limbo land, I recommend calling to cancel your order based on the assumption they haven't yet purchased your materials. If they confirm your material has been purchased (and you can't get a refund), I recommend requesting a copy of the material purchase order as proof.

The techs loved their jobs and clearly were experts in what they do! Install was perfect and was done super fast. Pricing was what I expected as I truly believe you get what you pay for!

We hired AP Corp to install solar window film in our newly built home. The company recommended the…read moreAvery Dennison Spectrally Selective Series Film, which they claimed was used in museums to prevent fading and would protect our floors and furnishings from sun and heat damage. Their sales rep assured us that our leather furniture could be placed near windows and rugs could be moved freely without concern for fading if we chose this product-- a key reason we moved forward with the $6,000 installation. Unfortunately, the product has not performed as promised. Since installation, we've seen clear sun damage and fading in multiple parts of our home including our flooring and leather furniture. We contacted the company about our concerns. They visited, took photos, and acknowledged the issue -- but their only solution was to charge us even more to install a different film. Since then, they've stopped responding to calls, voicemails, and emails. This experience has been incredibly disappointing. The product failed to perform as marketed, and the lack of customer care is remarkable.

Huge gratitude to Landis! They helped us realize our dream of renovating our 1906 row house with…read morepatience, creativity, transparency and top-notch craftmanship--taking it down to the studs plus adding on. As I've shared with anyone who asks, Landis was a great fit for us and wonderful to work with. I highly recommend them.

NB: Should be a 4.5, but that's not an option here…read more Our renovation project involved putting in an all-new kitchen and powder room, plus refinishing floors, replacing lighting, and repainting living room/dining room/family room/hall on the same (relatively open plan) level and some relatively minor exterior work. Project included electrical and drywall work but no structural changes. Mold removal wasn't originally part of the project, but, when a problem was discovered, it was handled thoroughly and expeditiously. The good: Overall, the finished project looks great and all the changes we made to our kitchen/main floor work well. Coordination between the design and the construction teams was good and we ended up working with great people on each side. Colleen, who helped us with kitchen design, was very good at laying out/generating alternatives and flagging pros and cons. She was focussed on our objectives and kept working until they were met. Fabricio held down the fort on the construction side. In addition to being a skilled craftsman with high standards, he is someone who is always looking for ways to make things better. He thinks ahead and has a problem-solving mindset. We always felt that he was treating our home the way he would his own. What fell short of perfection: probably worth bearing in mind that this was our first renovation project so it's not a comparative assessment. We've heard other peoples' horror stories and our issues were minor/mostly resolved in real time. That said, two pieces of advice: (1) Make sure the designer you are working with is a good match. If not, ask for someone else. Landis has multiple designers on staff. (2) If you are moving out for renovations, give yourself a cushion (more than a month on each end) wrt alternative arrangements for housing.
