Carpet CleaningHydroClean – 3600 Commerce Dr Suite 614, Halethorpe, MD 21227 410) 737-0088Anne Riley (2021)I called, they came the next day. Supercleaned our carpets, using a very long hose from their truck to get to the 4th floor. The carpets are now cleaner than they were after we had them professionally cleaned the last time! They were on time, pleasant, efficient, and quick. Three floors of carpets done in less than 2 hours. about $200 for all. They are local and family owned. Highly recommend them.

Bill Jacob (May 2017)Anne Riley – 2021:
Multiple homeowners had substantial repointing of bricks and repair of window ledges done in fall of 2020 and spring of 2021. Stinebaugh also has the template for making and replacing the cast window ledges on Harbor Walk homes.
Their work is high quality, carried out when planned, and the cleanup is good. Eric Stinebaugh is a good guy, high integrity.

Notes

1. (Electrical fixture repair at Annapolis Lighting) This is one of several local firms that can rewire and refurbish the electric light fixtures on the fronts of HWTA homes. This approach is strongly preferred over replacement with non-matching fixtures.

2. (Paint at Budeke’s) This is a good source of supply for the 28 Benjamin Moore brand paint colors that are pre-approved in the Architectural Guidelines for use on front doors and window trim.

3. (Paint at McCormick’s) This is the source for paint in the Old Carriage Brown (#223) color. This color is not part of McCormicks current color palette, but they will mix it for you on request. This is the only approved color for use on rear doors, garage doors, metal railings, wood trellises, etc.

4. (Window glass replacement by Eastern Plate Glass or Caplan Brothers) This is an economical approach to repairing clouded or broken window panes without the expense of replacing the entire window unit.

5. (Window replacement by Pella / K.C. Company) Several residents have had success in replacing their front windows with Pella products from the location at 12100 Baltimore Ave in Beltsville. Note that full Archtitectural Committee application is required.
