We heard of them through a realtor who worked with them for another client. They gave Hauptman glowing reviews which were fully met and justified with our build. We cannot speak highly enough about the team of craftsmen that work for Hauptman. They are professional, personable and highly skilled individuals that gave our home many small but important custom finishes that we enjoy daily. Custom finishing and materials takes time to put into place and cannot be rushed. Hauptman has been in the business of building for decades and has solid relationships with all of the subcontractors required to build a home. This also attests to the type of builder that Hauptman is. When we had an issue post build with our fireplace, the contractor immediately came out and resolved it for us, replacing the defective part. First class service all the way. When we realized after our roof had been fully shingled that we needed a patio cover/roof for shade, Bill drew up 4 different options for us to choose from and seamlessly attached the sloped patio roof to our existing home structure. It looks like it was part of the original design and not the after thought that it was. Hauptman is a builder that values integrity in everything that they say and do. Their prices are very fair for this locale's market. Bill and team demonstrated a patience working with my needs for handicap features throughout our home and exceeded all of our expectations. IF you are looking for a builder that has the respect and appreciation of not only his clients but also his colleagues, give them a call. We cannot recommend them highly enough!

The estimate, design, demo, and build processes all went smoothly because of Agustin and his crew, who started every day bright and early - even when utterly frigid.

Agustin and the crew did a great job with the deck and patio modifications to accommodate. I highly recommend Creative Exteriors Plus!

My wife and I moved into our brand-new custom home in October of last year (2023) and have loved…read moreour deck, but barely used it due to the bugs. Our builder (Churchill Classics) charged an arm and a leg, and we didn't want to go back to them for another quote, so I scheduled over 15 contractors to come out in 2 days. Of the contractors that came out, Agustin was the first. He was on time, knowledgeable, and gave me plenty of ammunition to go up against the remaining contractors. Although Creative Exteriors Plus was one of the most expensive options we looked at, it was also the only truly professional experience that left a great taste in my mouth going forward. Augustin of Creative Exteriors Plus is fantastic! I always look for contractors with strong integrity, who are honest, and who have no issues answering even the dumbest of questions. Agustin not only gave me peace of mind when meeting us, but he was also very open and honest about everything, from the work, scheduling, payment, and timeframe, to the actual products he used. Before screening in our deck, I wanted to stain/seal the deck and power wash it but didn't want to spend the extra capital getting it professionally done. Agustin also helped walk me through products to look at, steps to properly power wash, and troubleshooting via text the whole way through. At one point, I mentioned that my Google caller ID had picked up another business name, Prime Construction Corp, and I wanted to verify if this was related to him or what the connection was. Agustin called me right away and explained that it was an old business they contracted with bigger vendors, but during COVID, they pivoted and no longer have any affiliation with that business. He was quite surprised it popped up with his number. We had a great laugh about it, and I really appreciated how straightforward he was with this information. I love his transparency and honesty throughout the whole process, and we even contacted him again about possibly screening in/putting a roof over our walkup basement door. He was very candid, advising that having the window on the side and a lack of trees nearby would attribute to more cost and effort than a solid result. After brainstorming, we came up with the idea of buying screens and velcroing them around the rails (haven't put this plan into action yet), but I very much appreciate his candor and encouragement that this is a project I can do myself. The entire project was done in roughly 3 days: two days of work back to back, and then 1 Saturday due to rain. The screen is so beautifully and meticulously done that it doesn't even look like a screen is there. His team also managed to perfectly match our current post layout when constructing a new post and adding a door. The door also comes with a cool feature: it has a window that slides down. They also included 2 new keys for the door, and Agustin did a full walkthrough with us to ensure we were fully happy with the results. Before completing the deck, his team also power washed the bug gunk off the deck and removed some of the remaining tape I had forgotten to remove when I stained the deck. He also offered to come back and install our ceiling fan once we actually pick one out. He's local and always just a short text away if I need anything. I cannot recommend Creative Exteriors Plus enough and absolutely rave about Agustin to everyone I know! Thank you so much for all of your hard work, and we will definitely be using you again in the near future for fencing/patio options.

We are very much impressed with the depth of your knowledge and your reliability, dependability, and attention to detail. Moreover-and this is a perfectionist speaking- the high standards you set for yourself and your work, the quality of your work, and the pride you take in it, are things money doesn't usually buy in the home improvement business.

Not only are my bathrooms absolutely gorgeous (you can see more pics on Instagram under #cantonbathrooms), but the crew also left my house so clean every day! They protected every space on the way to the workspace and swept before leaving daily. All the subcontractors I encountered were trustworthy and courteous. Jimmy himself is incredibly honest about any issues that come up and potential solutions and I did not get the dreadful feeling that he was squeezing every penny out of me whatsoever. The quality of the work is exactly what we discussed beforehand, and I would keep in mind that you get what you pay for - not just the finished product, but the experience, too - especially if you're living in your home during a renovation! 5 stars and I love my bathrooms every day!

The work the team did was beautiful and a great value for the price. We went a little over 10% over budget, which is just about what I expected for a project like this, and I was pleasantly surprised that we actually finished a few days early. The work comes with a 3-year warranty too (which we needed in the past and have had no trouble using), which gives extra peace of mind. Each person on the project - Elena the project manager, Juan the site supervisor, Alexa the designer, John the estimator, and especially the lead technician Cornelio was a pleasure to work with. As with any renovation, there are always surprises and hiccups along the way, but the team handled everything professionally, even when I was stressed and occasionally cranky. One thing of particular note was how much the team was willing to work with me when the inevitable surprises came up. There are things that nobody can foresee, which usually results in a change order and extra cost, but then there are those little things where everyone leaves a conversation with a different impression. In those latter instances, I always really appreciated how willing everyone was to meet me halfway and to make sure I felt good about how things were going and confident that we were doing right by each other. All in all, I highly recommend them and they will be my first call next time I have a project!

I am another potential customer who can offer my experience in getting an "estimate" from this…read morecompany (search for them on Yelp near Frederick for another recent reviewer). I will preface by stating that we have solicited bids from local contractors only, with (supposedly) stellar reputations for quality work and customer service. Unfortunately, I was given the name of this company by someone who thought Dertzbaugh qualified. Not the case. I called and left a message that we needed an estimate to replace the existing Masonite siding on our home, and we are cash customers who are ready to have it done NOW. I was told that "no one was in who could help, and to leave a message". Over a week passes, and no contact from them. So I call back, and ask when I might expect a call. Frank himself then calls, says he'll "get back to me". Nothing. No one met with us, no one asked specific questions on the phone, or via email, to ascertain our concerns or needs. No one even told us when or if they were coming to our home to measure. Then, without any other contact, I receive an estimate via email. Wow, talk about impersonal and apparently not taking us as serious customers, which we ARE. I might add that all potential customers should be treated as serious customers in any business, but I digress. So we get this short, impersonal, "bid" via email instructing us to "sign and return one copy along with the deposit. Please respond back to this estimate in a week or less.." this is funny, no one responded to me in a week or less! No one ever told me they were even coming to our house...if they ever did! To make matters more insulting, their bid (which was thousands higher than any other) included an option of leaving the existing Masonite siding on the home and siding over it! Yes, this is fine for existing vinyl or aluminum siding, but not for a product that is now infamous for rotting and collecting MOLD. For anyone not familiar with Masonite, please Google it, and you will see the multitude of problems and the resulting lawsuits and settlements. NO REPUTABLE CONTRACTOR WOULD EVER EVEN SUGGEST THIS AS AN OPTION. PERIOD. Great that the guy started the business in the 70's and may have done great work then, not so great that now he's advertising on the radio that they're a "family business who cares...", when nothing could be further from the truth. Don't waste your time, and apparently their's.
