Testimonials - What our customer say about our work
“Andrew and the guys at ALC were phenomenal to work with. We had a custom home built in Carroll County that we consider our dream home and they took it from shovel to key in under 6 months. Andrew helped us take our vision and make it a reality. He always had us in mind when helping us make decisions. He would talk us through alternatives and choices always making sure that the products we were choosing were of the highest quality and would be worry free for decades. Most importantly he worked with us to stay on budget and spend our money where we would get the most value, investing in our home. They use only the best subcontractors around which means that the plumbing, HVAC and electrical were top notch and when mistakes happened Andrew would make sure that they were fixed to his and our satisfaction. He was flexible with us and our schedules to make sure we were on top of the developments as they happened. He was advocating for us when dealing with vendors, permits and all the unpleasantries that are normally associated with construction. Andrew was flexible when it came to making changes within the design that looked good on paper, but didn’t work in reality. He made sure that the custom aspect was of top priority, Sometimes it’s the little things like the job site always being clean with rules posted for subcontractors. Those are the details that make a difference and tell you about the standards of an operation. We are so happy with our new home and our experience, we recommend anyone who asks, to use ALC Contractors.”

“Although reconstruction of our 2-car garage wasn’t in our home improvement plans for the year, the winds of Superstorm Sandy and the large, nearby tree certainly changed priorities. It as a pleasure to deal with you and your crew to clear the debris, redesign and rebuild the improved replacement garage. You made coordination with Baltimore County Zoning and my homeowner insurance company a smooth, efficient process. As for the final product, I couldn’t be happier. The quality of workmanship is top notch, and I’ve been enjoying the convenience of the permanent stairway that you constructed to the spacious loft. Feel free to include me on your list of references. Thanks for a job well done.”

“ALC Contractors built me a 926 square foot mother-in-law cottage from a design by architect John Lehman. As part of the project, ALC converted the carport of the main house to a garage, and attached the cottage by a small breezeway to the main house (attachment is required by zoning regulations). The cottage has all the features of a big house, on a small footprint. The new cottage addition, breezeway, and converted garage look consistent with the main house, and even the materials were selected for consistency. It looks beautiful, and just as if it were all built at the same time. I have been in the cottage now for several weeks, and everything is as advertised, and everything works well. The workmanship is top notch. The process went very smoothly. Andy is very professional and kept everything on schedule and on budget. If there were hiccups, I rarely heard about them .. he does what needs to be done and gets the job done. Andy is very thoughtful and will make suggestions as the process goes on, if he thinks there is a better way. He will also let you know if he feels something may be a bad idea, and what a better way might be. Andy and his crew are courteous and professional and he keeps the schedule moving … there were workmen here virtually every weekday. My cottage was completed on budget and on time. Oh, and they keep a clean worksite also. Andy is readily available by cell if you have a question or want to discuss something. I really can’t say enough good things about the experience and the final product. I would recommend ALC unreservedly for any small or large project.”

“Andrew and his team Tore down and rebuilt very large raised stone patio. Built new room addition. Tore out and rebuilt two interior rooms that had been severely water damaged. Modified and over roofed the entire house. The scope of our project was huge and it was very complex. From the planning and estimating stages all the way to completion ALC never disappointed. The work was done exactly as promised to impeccable standards. Every deadline was met and every expectation was exceeded. The crew was professional, thoughtful and courteous at all times. Whether building from scratch, renovating or remodeling I would very highly recommend ALC.”

“Andrew (ALC Contractors) came in to repair damage to our basement from the hurricane, They did drywall, wainscoating and paint. We also hired them to finish a job that another contractor deserted. He finished our screened porch, re hung siding, patched foundation and restructured the porch to be safer and much more attractive. We were thrilled with the results. He and Brady were on time worked all day and left our home as neat as a pin. The quality of their work is top notch and anyone who uses them will not be disappointed. I would refer them confidently to anyone.”

“This letter is to express our heart-felt thanks for the work you and your team recently did on our kitchen. The complete renovation has transformed the kitchen into a beautiful, roomy and light-filled area that is a pleasure to cook, bake and dine in. We especially appreciate your, Brady and Bob’s professionalism, efficiency, promptness, and courtesy at all times. Much to our satisfaction, you worked quickly and cleaned up at the end of each day. We were most impressed with your know-how on dealing with problems as they cropped up on a daily basis, and we know that our kitchen was especially troublesome considering its unconventional shape. We will call on you again if we need work in the future. We whole-heartedly recommend you and your team to anyone who is looking for a renovation to their home.”

“We cannot thank you enough for the incredibly superb job you did transforming a rather rundown, centuries-old bungalow into our magnificent home. Engaging you to be our general contractor for this total renovation and major addition project is truly one of the best decisions we have ever made. From the very outset, you shared our vision. And when the job was completed, we had the very home we had hoped for. When asked by friends and family if there is anything we would have done differently, our answer is always the same: Not a thing, thanks to Andy. Throughout the project, we were so greatly impressed with your work ethic, professionalism, craftsmanship, construction knowledge and management skills. Moreover, we thoroughly enjoyed the entire journey with you. From the day construction started, we were proud to call you our contractor. But more important, it was not long thereafter that we were proud to call you our friend.”

Keeping in mind our expense making sure each phase was approved by Baltimore County Inspections .Daily cleaning of the work area when finished and all the yard damaged by equipment was repaired. Happy to refer your work to anyone.”

“I had a very pleasant experience dealing with ALC Contractors, LLC when they completed a bathroom remodel at my house. My wife and I solicited four bids from contractors recommended by friends and family. Andrew was by far the most attentive to detail during our initial meeting, a characteristic that carried over into his work on the project. Andrew made several suggestions during the meeting on how we could lay certain items out, but was also very receptive to certain ideas my wife and I had in mind. When the job started, the work crew was always at our house on time and cleaned up the job site every day before leaving even though we had not moved into the house yet. The job was finished within the time frame that Andy specified and we have received nothing but compliments on the bathroom from all of our family and friends that come to visit. We definitely plan to use ALC Contractors for projects we have coming up in future years.”
Mike Feehely
“Andrew did a fabulous job. His attention to detail and perfectionism is exemplary. We started the process with a kitchen designer who Andrew worked closely with. However, after working with Andrew I would trust Andrew providing the designs for future projects. He removed all the existing carpet and linoleum on the first floor, and repaired and nailed down the existing sub flooring to eliminate all the squeaks which were numerous. He installed hardwood flooring throughout the first floor. He removed the existing bulkhead, cabinets and fixtures in the kitchen and bathroom. He enlarged the doorway between the kitchen and the dining room, removed the wall between the family room and kitchen and built a half wall/breakfast bar. In the kitchen, Andrew installed recessed lighting, under cabinet lighting, and pendant lights over the breakfast bar. He added additional outlets in the kitchen and first floor as requested. He repaired and painted the drywall where necessary. He installed new kitchen cabinets with molding. He installed all the hardware on the cabinets. He prepared the cabinets for the installation of the granite. He reinstalled our existing appliances. He rewired and replumbed where needed. He installed a new pedestal sink, toilet and wall sconces in the powder room. Andrew covered and/or moved all the furniture on the first floor. He installed zipwalls to diminish the dust, etc. spreading to other areas of the house. While working he even turned off the heating system so the dust, etc. wasn’t being pulled into the ducts/furnace. Each day he cleaned up any mess that had been made. He installed the existing cabinets in the garage at no extra charge.I cannot say enough good things about Andrew, his crew and his subcontractors (plumber, electrician, and painter). They were all courteous, prompt and professional. From the first meeting with Andrew we felt comfortable that he was going to treat our home as his own and were confident that we would be 100% pleased. He kept in continuous contact with us and responded to all our concerns and questions. I would recommend him with absolutely no reservation. The kitchen is fantastic! Best wishes for a Happy Holiday. Talk to you soon.”

“We wanted to write you a letter to express our heartfelt thanks for the outstanding job you did for us in constructing our new deluxe carriage house. From the beginning you listened to us. You embraced our dream for the replacement of our garage. We had a very specific vision for this project. As closely as possible, we wanted to build a garage that looked original to our 1922 house. You accomplished that goal. The greatest compliment we get from family, friends and neighbors is that “it looks original .From our very first conversation back in the fall of 2002 following Hurricane Isabel’s destruction of our original garage, through the insurance adjuster quagmire, the Baltimore County zoning variance process, then starting an outdoor job the week before Christmas, you labored through cold, ice, wind, snow, rain and blistering heat to give us the ultimate carriage house! ?All of your subcontractors were as professional as you were and you finished the job on time, on budget and no punch list was required. The entire project was a pleasure! ?Thanks again for an outstanding job.”

“In 2012 we decided to renovate and add an addition to the family’s 100 year old home. The home needed extensive renovations as well as the new addition. We received several estimates regarding the cost of this endeavor, but we knew when we met Andrew Lohmeyer of ALC Contractors he was the person who could not only make our home into a showplace, but also make it a comfortable and livable place. His passion and love of older homes was obvious the first time we showed him our project. His attention to workmanship was evident as we saw our dream home coming into fruition. Andrew and his crew were able to take any obstacle of an older home and turn it into a positive, workable project. Working with an older home has its share of challenges and the crew was able to deal with anything that resulted due to the renovation and addition. Schedules were met and the end result far exceeded our wildest dreams as the house is a proud execution of what hard work and professionalism can accomplish. Andrew’s crew was respectful, accomplished and finished all projects successfully. Working with AL Contractors was a positive experience and we are more than happy to recommend the company to anyone who is thinking of remodeling, renovating or building a new home.”
Joanne & Ron Ellicott City, MD
“This letter comes to you with extreme gratitude and appreciation for the amazing addition that you made to our home. Many people approach the build of a garage as a separate entity, but from the very start, you listened to what we wanted and created a beautiful garage and breezeway that looked like it was a part of the original structure of our home. We felt confident from our very first meeting with you, that your knowledge, connections and experience would help us get the end results that we desired and you did not disappoint! Your continued involvement in every step of the building and design process held our confidence throughout and eased any of our expected worries. The quality of materials, help and suggestions that your team utilized were all exemplar. The level of craftsmanship far exceeded our expectations and has been noted by all of our neighbors, friends and family and even the occasional deliveryman. We could not be more pleased with the outcome. It is beautiful, it is exactly what we wanted and came in on budget. We are very appreciative of your commitment to excellence and would recommend you to anyone looking to add to the value of their home. We know, without a doubt, that we would choose no other builder for any of our future plans. All our best for continued success.”
