From the initial phone call, to the estimate, to the completed project, Artisan and FHS are 100% customer focused. FHS completed a $50,000 basement remodel on time and on budget. (No easy feat when we made some changes mid project.) The craftsmanship throughout the project was Superb and the attentiveness of the Owner and Project Manager was first rate. Additionally, the experts at Artisan Kitchen and Countertops did an equally Superb job designing/laying out the cabinets and countertops. The compliments we have received on the overall project and specifically the locally made oak bar are too numerous to count. If you have a project in mind or are looking for a trustworthy company to do a remodel or build your custom home look no further than the Team at Artisan Kitchen and Countertops & Fairway Home Services. You will not be disappointed by the relationships you develop or of the results of the project you have trusted the Team to complete. I cannot recommend Artisan Kitchen and Countertops and FHS strongly enough.

There was a delay in installation, and they had to put temporary covers on my counters, which were boards that had a highly toxic odor. When our countertops were installed , they were really nice, the backsplash was installed and grouted at later dates, and again, they were stunning. However, the grout where the tiles met the countertops cracked, my husband went to see our representative about getting them re-grouted, he was rudely spoken to by a different employee and we were told that they'd do it in the summer when the weather got better, and that cracks occur in colder weather. Following his conversation, I emailed our representative pictures and a request to get a date to repair and I did not get a response, and that email was sent on 1/15/25. I'm very disappointed in the after care service and will not recommend this company. My husband ended up caulking the area and it looks good now.

The quality of their work really stands out--our asphalt looks smooth, clean, and built to last. They took the time to explain the process, answered every question, and made sure we were completely satisfied before wrapping up. What impressed me most was their attention to detail and the pride they take in their craftsmanship. It's rare to find a company that combines great communication, fair pricing, and top-tier workmanship, but Belchers Asphalt does exactly that. If you're looking for reliable asphalt services, this is the team you want on your project. cheap as hell!!!!!!

Waited a month and no response - they do not stand behind their work product. The contractors response presents a incorrect picture of any interactions we had. I was never told the area needed to be repaved, in fact I was told they could fix it. The contractor never agreed to come out and fix cracks, but did agree to come out and look at the issues. The original review on Thumbtack was posted on Sept 10, 2025, so after 7 weeks, I think I have been extremely patient. Trying to blame the customer for contractor unresponsiveness should be a warning sign to all

Their price was high, but on par with other contractors. Burkholder's sales staff is very professional and their installer is very skilled. However, there were issues. When the installer cut out the old fiberglass shower enclosure, he did nothing to contain the dust. He did not hang plastic or use an air filtration system. Also, he did not have enough tarps to cover the entire floor, so roughly one third of the floor was not protected. Before the installer was about to grout the shower, I learned he was planning to grout the corners and other areas of a shower where dissimilar construction materials meet. Having done many home improvement projects over the years, I was fairly confident those areas should be caulked and not grouted. But I wanted to be certain, so I called the grout manufacturer, Laticrete. I spoke to two technical representatives (one used to work as a professional tile installer), and both advised against grouting those areas because the grout will crack. So, I told the installer to use color matched caulk instead of grout in those areas. He said Burkholder's has never had a problem with the grout cracking, but they would order the caulk that matches the grout. When I returned later to check on his progress, I noticed the entire shower was grouted. I asked him about that and he said the owner instructed him to grout the entire shower and caulk over those areas later. Applying caulk on top of grout is also wrong and something I confirmed with Laticrete. Grout is a porous surface, so there is a high likelihood the caulk will separate from the grout and mold will form under the caulk. I questioned the owner about this in a text and he wrote, "We always caulk after grouting, with no issues." Not true, according to the installer. They never caulk their tiled shower enclosures. The owner knew what he was doing was wrong, but did it anyway. I could have insisted that Burkholder's remove the grout and replace it with color matched caulk, but I was concerned they would do a poor job, just to make a point. So, I asked them to warranty the grout against cracking for 10 years. As expected, they would only agree to warranty the grout for 17 months. The normal warranty is 12 months. After the job was finished, I asked Burkholder's for their MHIC license number, and they could not produce one. In Maryland, unless you are a subcontractor performing work for an MHIC licensed contractor, you must have an MHIC license to do home improvements. That includes bathroom remodels and installing flooring, other than carpet. If you decide to use Burkholder's, make sure they are licensed to do the work you want them to perform. Also, know the law and insist they follow it. In Maryland, you can check the status of a home improvement contractor's license by going to: https://www.dllr.state.md.us/cgi-bin/ElectronicLicensing/OP_search/OP_search.cgi?calling_app=HIC::HIC_qselect
