“My house had original aluminum siding from 1983, and I decided that it was time for improvements. I looked at 3 options: 1) repair/paint existing siding, 2) replace with vinyl siding, or 3) replace with Hardie plank. Obviously, repairing would have been the least expensive and Hardie plank the most expensive (at least so I thought). I procured seven estimates from different contractors on the various approaches with most providing an estimate on both vinyl and Hardie plank. In the end, I went with Able Construction and Hardie plank. Hardie plank installation does tend to be higher priced than vinyl but not exorbitantly. I found that there was quite a variation in the vinyl pricing based on quality of materials; some was priced even higher than the Hardie plank. The quote by Able Construction on Hardie plank was not the lowest estimate I received or the highest. It was in the middle. So why did I choose Able Construction? First, they absolutely sounded the most knowledgeable about the installation process. Second, their estimate was very thorough so there appeared to be little room for unforeseen charges. In my case, there was so rotten wood uncovered that needed replacing (costs $120), but I was told upfront that could be a possibly (and I saw the rotted wood prior to replacement). Most other estimates were vague and failed to address issues that Able Construction brought up during the “walk around” of my house during the estimation process. Also, note that there is a “James Hardie Contractor Alliance™ program that is designed to match homeowners with professional contractors who meet the highest quality of customer satisfaction and are trained on James Hardie installation best practices”, and Able Construction is one of those contractors (zip code 20708 in search). Finally, why did I choose Hardie plank over vinyl given mostly more expensive? First, I’ve had it before and believe it is a better material. Second, you can paint it at a later point in time if you want to change colors which is important to my wife (painting not necessary initially since it comes pre-painted). In the end, the finished product looks great, and I highly recommend Able Construction.“
“Excellent pricing, great communication, and Kelvin and crew are wonderful craftsmen. Even did a few extras for us, which was really nice!“
“Quick and easy service. Set up the contract and they were at my place pouring our driveway extension later that week.“
“The Monnot Construction team renovated 3 bathrooms in my house over the past few months. The team was extremely reliable and the quality of the work was very good. The prices are also reasonable. I would hire them in the future when I want to have additional work done on the house.“
“You can choose a national company. You can choose a reputable company that’s owned by corporation or you can work with a local privately owned construction company to do your remodeling and that’s what I chose to do was use a privately owned business that did a magnificent job on my kitchen. I had my kitchen done, hardwood floors, cabinets, recess lights under cabinet lights and the prices was very reasonable and I would recommend them to anyone and if they like they can come look at mine because I am so proud of it, but I can’t believe that I got this job done for such a good price And they guarantee that work that’s what’s important anytime you have a problem. The owner will come by necessary and check it out and repair replaced so I couldn’t thought of a better choice and I’m so glad that I went with the Maryland reservations greatest thank you guys. You’ve been great and your company employees represent your company wellthank you again.“

“Oscar is awesome!!; He made my tub reglazing process very smooth and got it done as he indicated. His company asked for pics and gave me an estimate; but once he got to the jobsite, he noticed the level of difficulty and effort to the repairs was not that bad. He went ahead and allowed me a short discount from the initial quote. You cannot beat that!!. His company is awesome, and I would hire them again.“
