The job, from all appearances, went well from start to finish. Of course, the next few times it rains hard will be the proof. The appointment (and re-appointment) was handled by the office well and the roof technician (Marc Burkett) arrived on time and was thorough in his explanation of what he would be doing and how I would be able to get photographs 24-48 hours after the job was completed. The work also involved an Inspection Report which Marc completed and provided a copy before leaving. The "tune-up" also included caulking and sealing, etc., as detailed in the offer. Marc was professional throughout the almost two hours that it took to complete the work. I believe I have the information necessary for a relatively painless house sale, at least as far as the roof is concerned.
Description of Work: AHC of Laurel, MD performed a "roof tune-up" at a discount offered on Angie's List. I knew of one roof leak involving the vent pipe rubber grommet (aka "pipe boot") from the Master Bathroom which became brittle over 21 years of life. The order was placed on 10/12/17 and the first available appointment that was mutually doable was 11/7/17 which had to be postponed one week due to heavy rainfall. I will be selling my house within the next six months and want it to be "move-in ready" with little issues raised by the Inspector of a Buyer's Mortgage Bank/Company.

Although I had to reschedule a few times (twice because of my own conflict and once because of very windy weather) AHC and Marc were VERY accommodating and professional. Marc was always on time, a great communicator and honest--he never tried to up sale me on work that I did not need, and told me how to best maintain the longevity of the work that he had done. Other repair persons quoted me much more for much more extensive work that I did not need at this time. Due to his professionalism, great communication, integrity and punctuality, I would work with them again with no hesitation and gladly recommend them to anyone else.

We purchased a home earlier this year and noticed rain overflowing the gutters. Marc Burkett from American Home did an initial inspection and explained how the the pitch of the roof, size of the gutters/downspouts, placement of downspouts, and clogging debris can drastically affect water drainage. Marc removed buckets of decomposed leaves, branches, and shingle sediment. Cleaning was difficult due to years of accumulation that filled the east gutter (near trees) of our 2-1/2 story home. Time will tell if the weight of the debris caused any gutter damage especially in corners or at joints. I can follow up with Marc should leaks appear. I expect however that the overflow problem is fixed. Marc is thorough, informative and considerate. I would not hesitate to ask specifically for him again!

We signed up for the $99 gutter cleaning special. They told me someone had to be here for the cleaning so I took a half day off from work. When the technician arrived, he said he couldn’t perform the service because it was a two person job. Upset that I took a half day off work for nothing, I called the office manager. She was not available but I was told she would call me back. She never did. I rescheduled the cleaning and took another half day off. I’m the fool here for assuming they would come through and make up for the previous mistake. They called to confirm the wrong day. I called the manager and was finally able to speak to her. She was very unprofessional and blaming me for the company’s incompetencies. I asked for a refund and did what I should have done from the beginning: I called Gutter Guys and they were responsive and did a good job at a fair price!

Response from American Home Contractors Inc
Thank you for your feedback. When scheduling a service, we do everything in our power to predict if the service will need more than 1 technician. In this case, the street view showed your neighbor's homes instead of your home when we searched your address. Therefore, there was not a way for us to accurately predict this occurrence. The appointment was rescheduled for Thursday, October 26th. Our office called the day before to confirm, which is when we received a very aggressive response demanding the appointment be set for October 27th or the service be refunded. You also demanded that we compensate you for the time you missed at work from the first appointment. Our office keeps very detailed notes, both written and on the computer, of all communications with homeowners. We keep track of the date an appointment is rescheduled and the reason for rescheduling. After reviewing the employee's written notes and comparing them to our CRM, we are confident that the appointment was rescheduled and entered correctly in our system. Even though we were confident that it was entered correctly, our office did try to shift around the calendar to accommodate your request. Unfortunately, we were unsuccessful in opening up 2 technician's schedules for the next day. Since we could not accommodate for your first option, we issued a full refund per your request. We are sorry that the service did not go as planned, and thank you again for your feedback. We hope you have a wonderful day.

Originally wanted service performed today as I was off but there were no openings. Was placed on the cancellation call list and was called last night to have an appointment this morning. The Technician, Howard showed up on time ready to start. He asked background questions, roof age, other work done, location of leaks etc and immediately set off to view the area of leak. He knew what it was before even getting into the attic based on location. After inspecting the inside of the roof from the attic was able to show clear photos of the daylight coming through from around the open gasket. Through the thorough inspection he also noticed another plumbing pipe on the other side of the attic with a damaged gasket, saving us from another service call and or more ceiling damage. Howard went onto the roof and showed more photos of the missing gaskets and missing tile flap. He explained the work to be done how long it would take and set off to do. The entire call was about an hour. This is how home service is supposed to be done. Excellent job.
Description of Work: Noticed a leak after a rain storm. Needed a new gasket around a plumbing pipe and a shingle tab replaced.

Marc Burkett was very knowledgeable and professional, explained the issues that may be causing the leak, including a comprehensive review of the roof condition. He performed a few maintenance operations, An actual repair was not performed as due to the state of the shingles it was impossible to identify and repair the exact location of the leak. The recommendation was to replace the entire roof.

Description of Work: We have had a leak in our living ceiling for quite some time. I had a friend go up on my roof about a year ago and he determined it was coming from a pipe on the roof. I finally had a contractor come look at it and he did a thorough review of my roof and fixed a few spots that could potentially cause issues.

Much time/effort was spent picking out top-rated siding companies from several rating organizations. Some of the various estimate visits ranged from no-detail estimates to those with lots of expensive unexplained items. During his initial appointment, Mr. Joshua Dunevant (American Home Contractors) provided me with information, suggestions, answers to all my questions, and options suited to my individual circumstances as a homeowner. Before, during, and after the siding installation, he was always available to attend to any questions/concerns. I am VERY pleased with my home's appearance. Another improvement project will mean a call to this company. Thank you.

The service was effective and efficient. Howard arrived on time and did a thorough inspection of the attic and then the roof. He was in constant communication during the process to keep me inform of his findings. He adjusted the shingles. At the conclusion, he reviewed the inspection report with me and provided pictures. Highly pleased.
