DHC Repairs and Remodeling (Dan Himmelfarb Co.)

DHC is on the pricey side charging $200 an hour for two people. I doubt each employee was even getting half that plus $75 for a service plus $200 for materials. Besides the pricing the employees were professional and courteous. They let me know what the issue was and where the leak was coming from which was a tear between the room and chimmeney. In the end, the work seemed of high caliber and everything was found fixed from the year, to the moldy wood, to the leak stain on the ceiling, and they cleaned up very well. We’ll see how well there work is when the next storm hits.

DHC arrived on time and after a cursory review, climbed into my attic and onto my roof. They located 2 leaks which they reported to me with pictures. They also reported that the other 'leaks' could be animal-related as the spots were oily. Gave them the go-ahead to repair the leaks and they left after 4 hours work - with everything cleaned up behind them.

DHC was responsive to my initial inquiry when other companies were not interested in a small job. The workers showed up as scheduled, were courteous, and did good quality work. The price was a bit higher than I hoped to pay. But again, other companies were not interested in this small job. I would use DHC again.

Very well. The 2 repairmen were on time & very good. Company communicated well.

Arrived early. Worked steadily and finished all within 4 1/2 hours.

Mr Himmelfarb or one of his employees is always timely, accommodating and friendly. He has performed services for my mother, Nina Claicle for several years.

A crew of two technicians performed the repairs and gutter installation over a three (3) day period. Each day the crew arrived at 8am (+- 15 minutes) and told me what was going to be done that day. At the end of each work day: all scrap was collected into plastic bags, all tools were returned to company van and I received an invoice along with an itemized list of that day?s repairs. The foreman inspected the roof and used his smart phone to photograph several loose shingles so that I could see what needed to be repaired.

Great service- Called around 2 PM, they arrived by 5, done by 6:30. +

They did a super job. They know their business. They took care of a problem I had fro years. Other contractors did not fix previously.

DHC was on time. They picked up the materials and went to work right away. Wilson patient and explained to me what they were doing and why. Later, they cleaned up well.

It wasn't an easy leak to find since it took a lot of water at a particular angle.

28 year old Town house roof. I told DHC prior to the visit there was a leak. DHC reported the roof vent needed to be replaced and estimated $1100 (parts and labor, which included me paying them $190/hour to go to a roofing store to buy the material). I talked to the owner and let him know I thought I could get the whole roof replaced for $4K and asked him if it made sense to pay $1,100 for a single repair on an old roof. He was doubtful I could get the roof replaced for $4K, so I told him I would get a second opinion. I just had it replaced for $3.2K by another reputable roofing company in Gaithersburg. I would not recommend these inspection services if you have any known issues with your roof. The inspection price does not go toward the actual issue, so if you have a leak, get someone that can give all the options (repair vs replace). As far as the inspection, I think DHC did a good job in inspecting the roof and applying calk in areas where it was needed, I just do not think they were prepared or interested in offering the most cost effective way to address the leak, and I think a single repair that was 25%-33% of the cost of a new roof was not good advice since the roof was so old and near end of life.

The workmen were very professional, punctual and clean up everything They did the repair on the outside and repaired the ceiling which was damaged by the rain. I recommend them highly and had used them before on another problem and will use again if ever we need them.

They came on time and were very thorough in their work. I was pleased with their attention to detail.

It all went very well. They arrived promptly every morning and worked hard, and efficiently, all day. I was impressed at the thoroughness of their prep work. They kept me informed as to their progress and were pleasant to deal with. I thought the pricing was reasonable, and they finished within three hours of their one-week estimate, despite finding additional damage as the work progressed. I recommend them and will use them again.

Workers arrived on time, gave me an estimate and I approved. One worker went to get supplies while second worker started on job. They completed work as requested and haven’t had any problems so far.

I was extremely pleased with the results and will use them again in the future! They could have really ramped up the charges since I could not stick my own head into the hole in the ceiling below to see if there was damage, but they did not do this, for which I am very grateful.

Outstanding service - smart &nice guys.

Dan Himmelfarb was very pleasant to work with. We spent roughly $1,300 to remove wet material and treat the wet basement for mold. The job was neat, the crew was courteous and cleaned the site well. It all went well. DHC provided an estimate for an interior french drain system with a sump pump, two replacement windows and some related work preparatory to refinishing part of the basement. Primarily for cost reasons, we broke the job in several parts and proceeded with another contractor for the french drain system and a different one for the replacement windows.

Arrived on time. Assessed the work needed to be done, completed the work and completely cleaned up afterwards. Great job.

providing me w/ rates is not an estimate. i have no idea how much the whole job might cost me. that is not an estimate. so i'm not going w/ these guys.

They were able to do the job in about 5 days after I called them. The workers were courteous and efficient. They left remaining new shingles with me upon request. They did a good job.

Workers always on time, quiet, clean and friendly. Dan's worker seem to a easy their work. They have done work for me in the past and i never have to call them back for corrections.

On time started immediately. Explained what was needed and did what they said very polite workers did good job.

I have used DHC in the past for major remodeling (kitchen and 2 baths).As expected, the work was meticulous. Time was taken to protect furniture and floors. Work was very best.
