Local Carpenters in Elk Mills

“We had several rooms of the house painted as well as an exterior wooden porch railing. The back sunroom required the most work. The room was originally monochrome, so the ceiling needed to be patched and painted white and three walls needed to be a different color. Then we had a brick wall which needed to be painted white. The kitchen walls were re-painted. The upstairs bedroom ceiling was re-painted. The outside front porch railing needed scraped, skimmed, primed and painted as well as a small portion of exposed wood on the side of the house. Ted was among 4 painters from whom I obtained estimates. Each gave their opinion on what they though should be done in the sunroom which was the most complicated area. Ted was the most precise and knowledgeable. He backed up his opinions with fact and logic. His estimate was not the highest nor the lowest. But he was the only one who broke down the estimate in a clear and concise manner enabling me to choose some or all of the options. He then emailed me a list of references to contact. All the references I contacted praised his work ethic and performance. He then came over with the contract and clearly explained what each section meant before we both signed it. The work was started three days later as he had promised and he sent his best painter, Jules, to do the job. Jules was amazing. His careful attention to detail, his respectful attitude and meticulous methods made things go smoothly. The entire job took about 5 days. At the end of each day, Jules cleaned up the work area and neatly arranged his supplies in a corner out of the way. He was the most easy going, fastidious person I have ever met. When there was a lapse in communication and he inadvertently painted the brick wall green instead of white, I called Ted and the problem was immediately fixed, no questions asked. I kept apologizing to Jules but he just said, "don't worry, it's not a problem." He is a rare find, in my opinion. Ted stopped by on the third day, to check everything and make sure the work was satisfactory. I would not hesitate to recommend Ted and his team to anyone and welcome the opportunity to provide him a reference.”

“I have known Noah for several years and asked him to build three pieces of office furniture for me, I am fully satisfied with the results. I am a person who has an appreciation for woodwork and because Noah is also an artist I observe that he brings this skill to the development of his projects. I am satisfied with the work that he did for me and have to mention that poten-tial clients need to take into consideration the amount of time that a crafts-man must put into consultation, design, construction materials, labor and delivery costs when requesting and estimate. his business grow and listened to him”

“We were referred to SSB by a close friend. Introduced SSB tour GC and together created a beautiful home that meets all our expectations and needs. The SSB Team was a pleasure to work with and attention to craftsmanship details was outstanding. Further, there were no missed days or lost time unless the weather conditions dictated otherwise. I would strongly recommend SSB to anyone requiring such services and especially those desiring a quality project from start to finish.”

“Baltimore Architectural Detail took my beautiful entertainment armoire, rendered useless by the new large flat screen tv now on my wall, and made 4 drawers where the space for the analog tv used to be. This was a tight space and I wanted the drawers to work perfectly and look like they were built with the original piece: they do. The drawers hold 950 CDs or 500 DVDs, solving another problem of where to store my collection. Baltimore Architectural Detail listened to the "problem" and found a solution beyond that which I expected. Photo included is from before the doors were reattached. Now all those CDs and DVDs disappear! Thank you!”
