Together with the plumber, they resolved several areas of concern. He was punctual, kind, took time to show me the issues and was able to repair everything in a day.

We've used Luis for a number of projects (painting, custom built-in shelves, drywall repair, small…read morefix-it issues, and a bathroom renovation) over the past 9 years and couldn't speak more highly of his team and their work. Most recently, we had Luis do a small master bathroom renovation, switching out our old vanity, tub, and tile for newer options. Luis was professional and inspired confidence in his work every step of the way -- his team was incredibly punctual and always stayed on-task, meaning that the project finished up two days earlier than projected. And we are incredibly pleased with how the final product turned out. Luis and his team are incredibly skilled, trustworthy, and reliable, and we look forward to working with him on other home projects in the future.

Fernando Remodeling Services is a small business run by an exceptionally talented individual: Mr…read more Fernando Tiul. Mr. Fernando is an outstanding ceramic tile technician. I initially met him when we was performing contract work for a major kitchen remodeler; he completely tiled our kitchen in the most professional manner. Having obtained his card, recently I engaged him to tile our bathroom as we prepare to market our home. Again, another OUTSTANDING job! Aside from expertly laying the tile/grout, he also was able to modify doorways, thresholds and other 'tricky' angles and corners. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and reliable. Pricing was also very reasonable. Mr. Fernando's firm is in the Montgomery County area but he works on projects in the Baltimore-Washington Corridor (and possibly beyond into No. Va.); our home is near Elkridge, Howard county. Mr. Fernando's business also Kitchen, Bathroom, and Hardwood floors. Although my experience has been focused on his technical Tile installation, I suspect that he employs the same skill and professionalism surrounding these other technical areas. I highly recommend Fernando Remodeling Services, LLC Joseph M.

We were fortunate to run into Miguel, owner of Abanto painting, at Sherwin Williams paint store in…read moreGeorgetown! Abanto did a fantastic job painting our entire house. It was easy-peasy working withe him, we chose the paint color, and he did all the rest, buying the paint, etc. Painting is just not rolling paint on the wall, but also attention to trimmings, baseboards, and doors, in addition to prepping the walls very nicely and painting straight edges (line between trim and walls). Devil is in the details. He was very reliable and well-priced. The workmanship was very well done. He did the job done in a week, which was what we needed, and house is three levels.

New tile backsplash, new light fixtures, new faucets, lots of painting, grout work, etc.--the answer was always yes! We were even having new appliances delivered while he was working and although they were supposed to come with installation, the people that were sent to perform the install were hopeless and full of one excuse after the next. I turned to Miguel and he said, of course, I can take care of all of it, and he did. He even helped me out by taking my old refrigerator in his van to our new house to put in our basement. His work was done with care and for a fair price, and I just really appreciated how easy and pleasant it was to work with him and how solutions-oriented he was.

You can ask Genaro anything and he gives the most professional and practical advice. His costs for services are well priced.

Lazy work. We hired…read moreJose Arias of Bries to re-gravel our driveway and build a stone border around the adjacent flower bed. They cut corners in just about every way imaginable. We came home to discover they built the flower bed about 6 feet too short, ending in the middle of the parking space. But wasn't a misunderstanding; the flower bed already existed, and they were just putting a border around it. They literally ripped out two fully grown rose bushes and replanted them between our other shrubs to shrink the size of the flower bed and the amount of work they had to do. The roses are now dying. Meanwhile, the big project--regraveling the driveway--was barely done at all. They literally just washed the very sparse existing gravel and put it back down, with big patches of dirt. We complained, and Jose came back--and half-assed the job again. He put down a very small amount of new gravel--not nearly enough to cover the bare patches of the driveway--and extended the flower bed edging, but squared it off at the edge rather than follow the curve of the bed. The dying roses remained where they replanted them. Even after this second attempt, there are still weeds and still patches of bare gravel. It's clear Jose Arias is not going to do this job in any satisfactory manner. He already has my money but the least I can do is warn others not use this lazy, cut-corners, apathetic contractor.

Jose Arias was hired to re-grout the bathroom shower, and unfortunately, the experience was far…read morefrom satisfactory. From the start, the quality of the work was subpar. Jose installed an ill-fitting toilet seat (even with the toilet brand given to him) and the chipped bathtub was painted in a color not matching the rest of the bathtub. In addition, Jose quoted extremely overpriced services as "deals" (other contractors quotes were far, far less). Jose also re-grouted the shower and stated it would not need to be grouted for at least another year. Four weeks later, Jose was contacted as the grout was starting to come off; however, Jose did not follow up to the messages. Due to this experience, I cannot recommend Jose Arias, and I would advise looking elsewhere for reliable and professional contractors who value customer satisfaction and stand by their work.
