Description of Work: We had great success with the exterior doors we purchased from JW Calvert. We replaced our rotted, wooden basement and kitchen doors. We had lead paint, the team followed all the proper procedures and the project went without delay. One thing we also liked is that they had all te keys matched so we didn't have to have separate keys for all our entrances

Description of Work: Installed a new storm door. The installer arrived at the scheduled time and went right to work. It took as long as he said and the door looks great. I've used JW Calvert for work on two houses over the past 30 years from railings to replacement windows to siding and have never had a complaint.

J W Calvert arrived on time and quickly produced a product that exceeded my expectations. And they were beautiful and sturdy. I was delighted with the results and no rusting or other maintenance to worry about.
Description of Work: I was originally planning on some cast iron railings, but with J W Calvert I put in two aluminum railings at half the estimated price of iron.

Excellent. This is a garage that was built in the 1920s and had fallen into disarray. I didn't have a lot of money and the contractor was able to price out the job so I could do it in phases. He listened to me; the way I wanted to have the work done. The guys that came and did the work were very professional. they always cleaned up when they were finished. They ensured the garage was secured everyday before they left the area. This is the third project I have used this company for and definitely plan on using them for future work. I just cant say enough about the work they did; not once did I have to ask them to "fix" something or "are you going to do this" every little detail was taken care of the first time - totally refreshing!
Description of Work: Restored a detached 2 car garage. Installed 2 new doors & a new window. Removed old wooden shingles. Replaced all old/rotten wood. Installed new aluminium siding and gutters.

Went quite well. Railing was well installed into concrete, not on the surface, which is the proper way to install. It is very attractive.

They arrived when they said they would. The installation went smoothly. The appearance of the final installation was spot on.

Working with the J W Calvert Team was a pleasure. Steve Calvert came to assess the job and provide the estimate. He answered all our questions with courtesy and patience. There was no hard sell, just a friendly conversation with a man who knows his product and is proud of his team. When we decided to go with J W Calvert Mfg, the contract process was smooth and efficient. The workmen came punctually per our scheduled appointment. The railings were efficiently and cleanly installed, despite the rainy weather we experienced that week. J W. Calvert followed up the installation with a courtesy letter and thank you note. We can't say enough good things about working with J W. Calvert Mfg. This is a MD family business with a solid history of ethics, craftsmanship, and reliability. These are the type of people you feel good giving your business to.
Description of Work: We needed stair rails installed on both sides of our front steps. I wanted pricing for both wrought iron and aluminum. I called 3 providers for estimates and got call backs from 2, including JW Calvert Mfg. Our job was assessed and estimates provided. J W Calvert Mfg got the job because they were the better of the two in categories of courtesy, professionalism, good communication, and price. J W Calvert Mfg specializes in aluminum railings. They have been in the business for several decades and have an excellent track record in the Baltimore area. We were impressed with their knowledge, expertise, and high standard of customer service.

We received three estimates, but went with this company because of the price and the fact that they could come quick. They had trouble getting here, but they called. They arrived and did the work and everything is fine so far.

I made an appointment for Steve to give us an estimate. He came out the next day, measured, talked to me about what I wanted and reviewed the Harford Co. height requirements with me. I did not call him for two weeks, as I wanted to check out other companies. When I did call with the go ahead, the work was scheduled for the next week. Installers came out Wednesday, 12/26/07. Unfortunately, they started but could not complete the job that day due to a hard rain during which time they could not use their power tools. They said they would return on Friday and did so, completing the job as stated. Both my husband and I had to work that Friday so I left a check for them. Normally I do not make a habit of leaving checks, but the installers seemed very trustworthy and it actually worked out well. We are very pleased with the results!!
Description of Work: Installers from J.W. Calvert installed maintenance-free aluminum railings, enclosing the landing around our front door and down the right side of our steps to the sidewalk.
