One morning not long ago, during breakfast, we heard a crash from upstairs. This time it wasn't the…read morecat getting into mischief--it was a large shelf in our closet giving way after thirty-one years of faithful service. To its credit, the old wire system had lasted decades. But what followed was not just a replacement--it was a complete transformation. We're now standing in a custom-built white oak closet designed and executed by JJ Palmer, and it's one of the finest examples of residential craftsmanship we've ever encountered. Every detail has been carried out with extraordinary care and quiet precision. The workmanship doesn't shout--but it absolutely sings. You see it in every cut and corner. Trim lines are crisp and flush, hand-scribed to imperfect walls so precisely that they seem to have grown there rather than been added. Shelf edges are finished so carefully that all end grain is hidden, and the face grain flows seamlessly across components. Even the angled shoe shelves--normally utilitarian--are grain-matched and gracefully proportioned, elevating function to quiet elegance. The layout itself reveals a deep understanding of proportion and geometry: verticals and horizontals are aligned across bays with rhythmic consistency; trim widths are uniform; spacing feels intentional and calming. Every inch of the system--from the sloped shoe racks to the deeper bay for long dresses and luggage--feels purposeful, balanced, and beautifully made. Nothing is extraneous. It's the kind of design that honors both material and use. JJ selected the materials with a discerning eye: knot-free white oak with straight, harmonious grain, installed in ways that bring out its natural beauty rather than compete with it. Even before stain was applied, the woodwork had presence and refinement. Once finished in a light weathered gray, the result was timeless, tactile, and visually integrated with the rest of the space--including our flooring and natural light conditions. What truly sets JJ apart, though, is not just his technical ability: it's his ethos. We've worked with him before, on projects ranging from a bathroom remodel to a full basement build-out, and each time, he brings the same consistency of quality, professionalism, and quiet pride in his work. He listens well, offers thoughtful solutions, and always delivers what he promises without shortcuts, excuses, or ego. In a world where true craftsmanship often feels like a relic, JJ Palmer is the real thing. We recommend Maryland Home Improvement Company without hesitation, and with deep appreciation

I highly recommend this company. John was incredibly responsive. He called within minutes of my…read morerequest and was able to come out same day for the repairs. He swapped out a leaky sink faucet with a new one, which he ran out and bought himself, saving me a trip to the store. He also replaced our old, degrading water lines. He also fixed our leaky toilet by changing out the flushing mechanism. He completed both projects same day, and was very reasonably priced. I would call him again.

It was Sunday night when it happened and I was worried because I am currently working from home due to Covid and I had a busy Monday with multiple meetings and I needed to have my large display up. I thought I might had to go to the office and I wasn't happy about it. We called McCoy & Sons around 8 am on Monday and by 9:15 Douglas had found and fixed the problem. Is that an awesome service or what? We were worried to call an electrician because we thought they were going to charge us an arm and a leg but his price was very reasonable. We definitely call McCoy & Sons again if they need arises.

I have nothing but great things to say. Let me begin by saying that McKoy & Sons went beyond my…read moreexpectations. I had gotten multiple quotes on yelp from other companies giving me huge ranges of prices based on halfday/day which i felt uneasy about. When I called McKoy & Sons, he gave me a firm estimate based on my project and not a range which I greatly appreciated. Also I was extremely impressed because when I called and he told me he was based out near Baltimore, he still told me he would be there same day. Doug, the technician (and owner) showed up right on time and ready to get started. I needed a kitchen range hood replaced which required installing the hood and rewiring to install a plug box for the hood since it was hardwired before. Doug, quickly assessed what needed to be done and grabbed the necessary items out of his vehicle to complete the job. He was quick and super professional. The range hood works great. I was also very happy that he stuck with the estimate provided. Will continue to hire McKoy & Sons Electric for all my projects and I highly recommend this company.

I used Milton for an electrical job that needed to get done in order for my HVAC company to install…read morea heat pump. They were fabulous from start to finish. The estimator, Mark, was wonderful and talked me through the work and then two techs (Chris and someone else whose name I'm forgetting) showed up promptly the day of the work and completed the job without any drywall damage (which I was actually anticipating given that they had to run a wire). Chris and the other tech were very friendly and professional and kept me updated the whole time. Compared to the two other companies I received estimates from, Milton was communicative, competitive in terms of pricing, willing to address all my questions, and high quality in their work. I will definitely use Milton again!

Helping my mother get some electrical work completed at her home. Interviewed 4 local companies…read more The interviewing went from one extreme to the other. One group was super shifty and we believe were on drugs, another rep visited wanted to shoot the breeze and BS about everything but the work he came out to survey. We also had a bigger name reputable company visit. Their rep was very knowledgeable and competent, but pricing was extremely high, the contract was also not itemized per service, but only provided an arbitrary flat total price for everything. Nonetheless we ended up selecting the big name company however to get the price down we chose to omit certain services and asked the rep to remove those items and send a revised contract with the new price. The rep refused to update our contract and said he would revise later after he came back to do the work. In my opinion not an honest practice to force a customer into business with you so you can arbitrarily update the number later. Should've seen that coming with their first contract. Frustrated we cancelled the big name, searched again and found Milton Electric. Was quoted an hourly rate plus parts over the phone. Their electrician Patrick arrived on time, was polite, friendly and professional. The quality of the work and approach was simpler and leaner than all the other companies and the final price far more reasonable. Could not be happier. Will be using Milton again in the future. Highly recommend.

Upon calling Handyman Services, I was greeted by Shawn and I requested their help and explained I needed the railing removed right away. He immediately went out of his way to get his staff to do the job. Coordinated with the movers to come more or less at the same time. They removed the rail to allow my refrigerator to be lifted upstairs and bring down the old one. The Handyman crew reinstall the rail without incidents. Thanks for coming in a crucial moment where I needed help the most. Now I have a happy tenant. Great job..!!! Highly recommend them.
