Contractor reviews in Halethorpe, Maryland

Quality work with exceptional care. We hired Marty to manage the renovation of two bedrooms with failing plaster ceilings in our 100-year-old house. Marty stands apart as a contractor who cares deeply about the services he provides. His focus on the big picture as well as an acute attention to detail facilitated a beautiful finished project. I work with contractors professionally, and found Marty to provide an exceptional level of service similar to the caliber of work expected from contractors managing luxury residential and high-end hospitality or commercial projects: plaster walls were repaired to a level 5 wall finish, tight management kept everything on-schedule, and he did not miss a single item when he delivered the completed project. Beyond that, he also did other small repairs that we needed help completing and even moved the bedroom furniture into the finished rooms. If another contractor bids less than him, it’s because they do not provide the same level of service. We look forward to contracting Marty and his team for many future projects!

Excellent! Shaw Craft replaced my front porch steps. Marty was very responsive as soon as I sent my request for service. He communicated throughout the process and did a wonderful job. Would recommend to anyone

Just completed a quality project with Reconstruction of my front porch. Top quality workmanship, quality project, Well pleased.

Amazing service, amazing company!

Had Shaw remodel 2 baths in my home. Very professional, responsible and friendly at a reasonable price. Great results, we highly recommend them

Marty and Zach were on time and very professional. Our porch upgrade is amazing.

Marty of Shaw Craft was extremely helpful and conscientious when we needed some emergency repairs of ceiling drywall. His pricing was fair and reasonable, he arrived on time, his workmen took care and cleaned up well before they left. When he encountered an unforeseen problem he offered a lower cost solution. Highly recommend.

I contacted Shaw Craft recently to move the location of an interior door. They were very responsive and easy to contact. The work was finished quickly and he even actively advised us the about our options and used his expertise to help us decide the best and most cost effective way to do the work. I can't recommend him enough!

Having Shaw Craft Construction come into my home to do some renovations was one of the best choices I ever made. They were always on time and very professional. We are so happy & pleased with their work that we highly recommend them for any work you are looking to have done.

I had Shaw Craft install 2 exterior doors and 1 sliding patio door at my home. They did a fantastic job. They were very professional and completed the job in a timely manner. The quality of the work was top notch. I would highly recommend Shaw Craft and will definitely call them again for any future projects.

Working with Shaw Craft Contracting was great. We needed several exterior door and window frames, including two Juliet balconies, repaired and repainted. Martin was quick to respond to my initial inquiry, easy to work with, and communicated clearly his assessment of what needed to be done to have a quality result and why. The work was completed in only a few days, and they cleaned up thoroughly before leaving each day. All in all it was low hassle for us and we’re very happy with the results.

Shaw Craft Contracting did an amazing job with renovations made to a den on the first floor of our home. The project had many moving parts, including installing hardwood floors, French doors, custom built-in cabinets and shelves, millwork, lighting, and painting -- all of which were executed seamlessly! Marty Shaw and his team were responsive, professional, detail-oriented, and clean. I highly recommend Shaw Craft Contracting for your next home project -- excellent work!

Shaw Craft just wrapped up with helping me finish my basement. I was very impressed with how quickly Shaw Craft provided me an estimate for work, they started the work within days of approval, the workers arrived promptly everyday, and I am very please with end result and cost. I highly recommend Shaw Craft for assistancy with your next house project!

I intailly called to only have drywall done on my basement project I had been working on myself. After the first meeting and quote I decided to hand the project over Marty and I'm glad I did. The finished product looks great. They provided their expert opinion when decisions needed to be made but we're not "pushy" or trying to up sell.

Shaw Craft was super communicative, professional and had very reasonable quotes. We used them to upgrade my daughters bedroom which looks fantastic. We plan to engage them for a few more projects upcoming - the quality and professionalism is unmatched.

Marty and son Zach are a great team. They work well together and are very thorough as they go through the project. They secured some foundation work that had been constructed incorrectly. They also installed crown molding over some unsightly areas. The last area worked on was re-chalking my shower. The job was topped off by painting the areas worked on.

Marty bought in reliable painters as part of the team . They completed the job in a few hours with precision. Here’s just one picture of some of the work. This is a blue accent wall painted toward the end of the job.

Great work!

This is the third project (Trex decking/platform, storage shed painting and door replacement, bedroom ceiling replacement and painting) that Marty, Zack and their crew has completed for us. Once again we were beyond pleased with the exceptional service provided to us. As always a quick estimate was given and this project was completed in a timely manner. Reasonable cost too, as always. We will definitely be in touch with Shaw Craft for our future home improvement needs!

Highly recommend Shaw Craft Contracting! Marty and Zach helped with our basement remodel—demo, framing, rough plumbing and electrical, and drywall. We wanted to do some of the work ourselves, and they were great about helping us plan and figure out the best use of the space. Honest, hardworking, with solid communication and attention to detail throughout the project.

After searching tirelessly for an honest and reliable company to help with my kitchen renovation, I came across Shaw Craft and boy was it a blessing. I needed my rear porch enclosed and a structural beam put in to carry the weight of the house. From our first conversation, Marty the owner, was very attentive to what I wanted him to complete and didnt try to sell me on additional work like other contractors. He was very knowledgeable, and explained everything that needed to be done to accomplish the job. Additionally, the price was fair and wasn’t inflated, unlike the other proposals I had received. In regards to the work, that was great and when it came time for the inspection, the inspector commented on the craftsmanship of the work. Shaw Craft will forever be my go to contractor company and I would recommend them to anyone. Simply put, if you’re looking for great work from an honest company for a reasonable price, look no further!

We loved our experience with Shaw Craft Contracting from start to finish. Last winter we had some remodeling work done in our basement, and Marty and his crew were able to deliver the highest-quality work at a great price. Very respectful and clean through the process, and very detail-oriented in their work. As a budget-conscious DIY enthusiast, it was great to be able to work on some of the remodeling work myself (floor and lighting) while Shaw Craft took care of demo, framing, electrical, drywall, mudding, and painting.

Nearly a year later, there have been *zero* problems with the basement, and it's a space we now use multiple times a day. It's been a game-changer of a project, and absolutely one of our favorite things we've had done for the house. Thank you again, Shaw Craft!

Marty and Zack are great to work with, I have used them multiple times to renovate and repair areas in my home. Marty is quick to respond when asked for quotes, asked questions, and quick to start a project. Their timelines have also always been accurate- if it's two days, it really is just two days. Without a doubt recommend, and I will continue to use them for projects in the future.
