The quick version: We have found our FOREVER contractor. Andrew with ANLA Construction was incredibly professional, respectful, timely, hard-working, and the best value. We will be using him for every future project and would recommend him to all of our friends, family, and anyone looking for remodel work.
The long version: Andrew was incredibly timely, from beginning to end: I received a same-day reply after initial request for services, followed by a scheduled estimate four days later. After we had decided to go with ANLA and had reached out to schedule our remodel, we were lucky enough to catch an opening the next week. Andrew was on time to the assessment and was either on time or early every day to work (seriously, that NEVER happens with contractors). I didn't count the exact number of days, but I know that from start to finish, Andrew had EVERYTHING completed in LESS THAN 18 days. Considering he did nearly everything himself (with the exception of electrical and plumbing work), this is quite impressive and speaks volumes to his work ethic.
It was really important to me that we didn't have any number of random workers in and out of our house every day, so I especially appreciated that Andrew did everything himself (with the exception of plumbing and electrical).
Andrew was respectful of my one-year-old's naps and nap schedule to an unheard of degree for a contractor. Whenever he showed up for the morning and had something "loud" planned during the day, he would always ask if or when my son was sleeping or when he would wake up. For any fellow parents of little ones out there, you know this is HUGE. Andrew did his best to keep noise levels down during nap times, and I am pleased (and impressed) to report that he NEVER woke my son.
Andrew was incredibly patient with me during my decision making process. I am a very picky woman, ESPECIALLY when it comes to design work. I never felt pressured or rushed by Andrew to make a decision, even when it came down to the wire and he was waiting on me. In these instances (and there were many) Andrew was helpful and offered his professional opinion when asked. He would go out of his way to help me find the right products I needed (like shower hardware parts), and would even take time out of his own day/evening to send me email recommendations on parts at a great value.
Andrew was wonderful with communication and was always reachable with a quick response time, whether via phone, email, or text.
To top it all, Andrew provided us with the best possible value. We now have our dream master bathroom and stayed within our budget. We couldn't have done either without Andrew. I never thought I would be so sad to see a contractor go; he was such a pleasure to do business with. It won't be long before we have him back for our next project! I could not give a higher recommendation. Andrew exceeded our expectations. read more
