Testimonials

• Mr.Straka was very professional and honest. And he accommodated my schedule. I will hire Straka Contracting in the future. He is honest and offers a fair price and does not mislead.”

  Elaine R., Severn

• I contacted Mr. Straka in regard to what appeared to be a clogged gutter which was causing the side of my house to appear green in color. I was concerned that there might be more issues that involved the roof and the present gutter. I wanted Mr. Straka to evaluate and provide me an estimate. He was able to do that for me with very reasonable pricing. The finished project was excellent! I would highly recommend Straka Contracting to anybody who needs repairs of any kind on their home. Especially if they want an individual and company who is honest, reasonable in pricing, and completes work in a timely manner.”

• What a great job! Love my deck and can`t wait to sit down to read a book and have a coffee.”

  Ken M., Ellicott City

• The roof looks great guys, and I love the way you wrapped fascias and door frames so they don`t ever need to be painted again.”

  Anne L., Ellicott City

• The new door turned out great, good job guys!”

  Chris M., Ellicott City

• Straka Contracting was referred to me by one of his customers who is a friend. Promises made were kept and Karel was always easy to communicate with. We hired them to redo our bathroom floors which proved to be a similar experience — prompt, clean, promises were kept and it was easy to communicate with Karel. We then hired Karel to build the deck on the back of our home. The estimate was very fairly priced and the workmanship and materials used were first class. We couldn’t have been happier. We’d highly recommend Straka Contracting to anyone.”

• After seeing the impeccable work Straka did re-siding a group of town homes in my neighborhood, I approached him to give me an estimate for doing some work at my home. He came by that very same day and provided a written quote by email less than a week later. We hired him right away and were immediately put on his schedule, and although it would be a couple of weeks before he could start, he communicated by email as we got closer to the start date. He provided all materials and completed the work in the expected time frame. He did exactly what he said he would do and did a great job on everything. We were very pleased.”

  Laurie C., Columbia

• These new shutters and siding is just what I needed to dress up the house to sell…thanks much.”

  Suzanne D., Ellicott City

• I actually use Straka Contracting for just about everything I need done at the house. I generally interview others, and in the case of the new roof I interviewed 6 others over the course of 2 years. Karel Straka – the owner – doesn’t do all the arm twisting and harassment that I’ve experienced with others. He comes in with a fair price, explains everything he is going to do, and I know he will be very thorough and do a great job. The 6 roofers that I interviewed wouldn’t leave for hours–they kept trying to get me to sign that very day — and they came up with higher prices than Karel. It was painful. I love my roof. I also recommended Karel to a friend and they love their roof. I’ll be sticking with Straka Contracting from now on!”
