Featured Reviews for Specialty Contractors in Baltimore

Design Home Improvement
Specialty Contractors in Baltimore
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 22, 2025
“I recently used Design Home Improvement for drywall installation and painting services, and I’m extremely satisfied with the results. The team was professional, efficient, and completed the drywall work flawlessly. The painting was equally impressive, with smooth, even coats that made my space feel brand new. If you're looking for quality drywall contractors who also offer painting services, I highly recommend them for a stress-free experience and top-notch results!”
BASEMENT SYSTEMS USA INC
Specialty Contractors in Baltimore
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 12, 2019
“I bought a nearly 100 year old home in Baltimore city and about 3 months after I purchased it, every time it rained my basement kept getting large puddles of water. I checked with several basement waterproofing companies and was not persuaded to use them until I came upon Basement Water Systems USA. I mean you never really know until you get the work done but based on my conversations with them and the many references that I called (who raved about them) I knew that they were the right people to do the job for me. A few months later a very capable and professional crew were at my home and about 5 days later it was done. I also needed some foam insulation in my joists, and for a very good price they did that as well. I was concerned something was wrong after the work was done (it wasnt, was just me not knowing something), called them and they came back out to check out the issue, explained what I was looking at and then added a little more sealant for me to make me feel good lol. The company, from the owner on down to the installers, are kind, professional, very knowledgeable, have integrity and are the best in the business. I would recommend you use them for your basement needs!”
