From start to finish Jay with The Home Wise Pros ensured that I was informed throughout the entire process. The estimate was pressure free and he pointed out potential problem areas that other roofing companies had missed. I was extremely pleased with the roof replacement process and his team ensured that no loose nails would be left anywhere in the yard by using a special magnet. I was extremely impressed and will absolutely use them again! ...read more

The Home Wise Pros are great, I highly recommend them. The sales person came to our home to do a roof replacement estimate and I must say I was impressed from the very beginning. He explained everything very clearly and showed us other work he has done in the area. I have not had to replace a roof before (this is my first home) and I felt very comfortable with the process after he was finished explaining everything. The work was finished promptly and looks great! All in all I must say I wouldn't use another roofer, keep up the good work Home Wise Pros! ...read more

My wife and I looked for months for a company we felt comfortable with to do our bathroom. We had five companies give us estimates, the prices and pressure to sign right away where both high. We ran into some friends around the holidays that had used The Home Wise Pros and they told us they did their kitchen and they where delighted with the price as well as the work preformed. We called the company and had Jay Gleason come over and give us an estimate on our bathroom. This was a totally different experience, he not only gave us a reasonable price but came to our house 3 times to go over all of our tile, paint, floor, shower and vanity options before the work started. I almost never write reviews on companies work but we are so happy with the results and the owner that showed up every day to oversee the work I thought I should write one. We really need more companies like this that care about the customer as much as they do about the money. ...read more
With heating and cooling accounting for as much as half the energy used in Maryland homes, trying to reduce your electric bills with simple fixes like programmable thermostats won't get you that far. Instead, if you're looking to really cut your energy consumption without spending a lot on home improvements, the smartest place to start is your attic. "Proper attic ventilation" may not exactly be the latest buzzword, but maybe it should be. It's estimated that nine out of 10 homes in Maryland lack such properly ventilated space--and it's costing every single one of them extra bucks on utility bills. The temperature and dew point of the air inside your attic needs to be as close as possible to the air on the other side of your roof. Wide differences in either of these numbers can cost you money in repairs or higher heating and cooling bills. In other words, this is a year-round issue. In the summer, for example, an improperly ventilated attic can become as hot as 160 degrees. The heated air eventually penetrates the living area below, causing air conditioners to work overtime. In the winter, everything from household appliances to showers and cooking vapors contributes to excess moisture buildup that clings to the underside of a roof. When that condensed moisture falls--and it will--the attic insulation becomes soaked. At that point, you can say good-bye to any energy efficiency and potentially hello to damaged siding, wood framing, and interior and exterior paint and wallpaper--maybe even toxic mold growth. A proper ventilation system, by comparison, allows for continuous airflow throughout the attic. That means installing sufficient intake vents in your soffits and exhaust vents in your roof.
