I searched Yelp for handymen in my area, and although Jim's information returned, indicating Upper…read moreMarlboro, he's actually located in Laurel. At any rate, i'm grateful for the misinformation! I contacted Jim because I couldn't have my brand new washer and dryer installed, as I didn't have the washer drain pain installed (I have a 2nd floor laundry room), and I also needed duct work repair for the dryer vent. I explained this to Jim, he confirmed this was something he could do, and he put me on his schedule for the next morning. (yaaay!!) I just moved into my home and I had all kinds of little things I needed repaired; while he was here, he installed a new smoke/carbon monoxide detector, changed my dining room chandelier, replaced my broken doorbell, and replaced a wall plug outlet. He and his assistant were so efficient, that I decided to have them install the washer and dryer that the delivery company had already scheduled to come back to do. Understand, Jim is a handyman, not a contractor. While some handymen are SUPER handy, I don't expect them to be able to do everything an actual contractor does. Jim was able to do exactly what I needed, with an excellent response time and reasonable rates. His number is permanently saved in my phone, and I will without a doubt, refer him to others.

We hired Jim Brines upon recommendation to install a storage area underneath a set of stairs. Under…read morethe terms of our contract, Jim was to cut a hole for the door, install a door, and paint the door. Unfortunately, we had to have him come back 3 times to try to fix the door. When we hired Jim, we were lead to believe would be a simple project. However, in the end, we were left with a door for the storage area that is not cut properly, not painted as he promised, and looks shoddy. During the first installation of the door, Jim used recycled materials from his shop, rather than purchasing new materials as he promised he would. The door was badly warped, and cut unevenly. He also did not paint the door as he indicated he would both verbally and on the estimate sheet. Jim told us to give the door a week to see if it would somehow straighten itself out. When it didn't, we sent him several emails until he finally admitted he too was displeased with the quality of his work and agreed to replace the door with stronger wood that "would not warp."When he replaced the door, he was also supposed to install a special magnet to keep the door closed. He ended up forgetting it and promised he would send it in the mail for my husband to install. After several more emails, we got our magnet. The door began warping again so badly that we could not even open it. (and no it was not in a damp area like a basement). Jim said he would come remove the door and replace it. It took several emails to him to commit to a date. When he took the door we were left with a big gaping hole under our stairs and he said it would only take a week. I had to send countless emails and place calls to find out the status of our project, and each time I was either met with a rude response or given a different excuse, which all conflicted with each other and made no sense. When he FINALLY came to reinstall the door, he simply had brought back the original door he had removed a month ago!!! And when we asked him point blank about it, he told us that we could take it up with small claims court since he already had out money. Given his rudeness, inability to complete a project as promised, inability to meet deadline, and the end result of our product, I would never use him and would advise others not to as well.

Could not have asked for a better siding, gutters and painting experience with Orion. Not the…read morelowest quote, not the highest, but we got solid, quality work with quality products and a very smooth experience, for a reasonable price. Their estimator came out and intently listened, laid out our options, and made sure we were all on the same page. He was honest and transparent about what could be done, what couldn't be done, and ultimately provided a very detailed, fair estimate. He was there when the crew arrived on the first day, and again took pains to ensure everyone was on the same page. The crew was respectful of the home, clean, efficient, and polite and friendly when we had to interact with them. The project manager visited the job each day and liaised between us and the crew, as opportunities for clarification arose. The crew's work was just as detailed and fastidious as the estimate, and everything they worked on, from the siding replacement to the exterior house painting and gutter replacement, went very smoothly. The end result exceeded our expectations, especially as the house is 70 years old with additions and oddly placed utilities and "old house things" that can make it challenging to work on. They took it all in stride and banged out some fabulous work, though! The house looks better than I've ever seen it. People keep noticing too, as we have been getting frequent requests to share Orions info with visitors who see their recent work during their visits. We will definitely work with Orion again!

The good: Reasonably Priced and Decent Sales team…read more The bad: Zero project management or follow through. In March I contracted with Orion Home Improvements to demolish and build a new deck. They failed to anticipate a new plat was needed and had promised no permits were required, as they would simply be replacing old footings. Both things proved untrue and we spent another 2 months obtaining the required permits. During that time Orion was not communicating and I had to call they every week for a check-in. May 3rd arrives and materials are delivered, a dumpster is dropped, and workers arrive. First two days run fairly smoothly with demolition. Day 3 is a half day, 0930-1230, "we are waiting for the permit", meanwhile the demolition is not complete and the dumpster is not filled, debris is piled in the yard. Once the the first permit comes in, the process is 3 more weeks with 1-3 workers per day, working 3 to 6 hours per day. Nobody communicates when they are coming or going, they just sort of show up. Three total weeks later a beautiful deck. Final permit/inspection is cancelled and another week goes by to get everything approved. Bottom line: Orion Home Improvement is unreliable and I will not be working with them again.

Russ promptly responded to my inquiry and set a convenient time for my estimate. Within five minutes of meeting Russ, I felt like I had been friends with him for years.

He provided a fair estimate, did not try to upsell me, explained the job in detail, and promptly responded to my questions and concerns. Russ was present while my roofing and gutters were installed, and the crew did not leave until the work was performed to Russ's satisfaction. Russ takes pride in his work and made a large purchase pleasurable. You cannot go wrong with Timothy's Roofing, and they should be your first call; you will not regret it.

Within an hour Russ was able to come out and look at our roof and tell us how much it would cost. He was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions clearly. He gave us a quote on the roof as well as new gutters. They had a last minute opening a week later and we took it. Russ supervised throughout the installation and all of it was done within one day. They did a great job cleaning up after. We have a toddler and were worried about nails being on the ground after but it was clear they had been very thorough with their clean up. Now we have a beautiful new roof and gutters and can sleep more easily at night when it rains. If you're looking for someone to replace your roof Timothy's Roofing Co. is the best choice.

Alex and Ash came out and did an assessment and gave me a price quote right there - they ordered the materials with no money down like the other poster said. The prices they quoted were reasonable and I saved a lot of money over full replacement. 2 weeks later they came out and did the job in one afternoon. At one point during the repair - Alex pointed out that I did not need to replace all 4 balances on one window, just needed to replace 1 and reduced the price on the spot. Alex and Ash are a great crew - very professional, helpful, and honest. They are very responsive over the phone, take the time to explain the repairs, and show you what needs to be done. Would do business with them again and highly recommend.

They try to make this appear like a large operation but it is a poorly run business. They gave me a quote for a window by the door and i accepted. After Alex and his partner showed up 3 hours late they hurried up to replace the window because they were behind. They made dents in all the trim and did a HORRIBLE CAULKING JOB. The caulk was thick and thin and not smoothed out at all. Alex said it will look better after drying. After the horrible caulking dried i called them back and said this wasn't acceptable I called the assistant lady back to get him to refix the caulk. She said he'd come out Monday next week and he never showed. I called her back again and she was acting frazzled that she couldn't get in touch with him (BS because they work hand in hand). He never came to fix the caulk and it looks horrible. The caulk is so messy and gives the front of the house a horrible appearance, along with the banged up and dented siding. Save your money and go with someone more affordable! There's only one dude doing these projects with a horrible hand for patience and quality work.
