After several unsuccessful attempts to find someone knowledgeable and reliable to complete our home, we were lucky to find Alex and his team. Alex was very responsive to texts, email, or calls with any questions or concerns. He came by every day to check in as the scope of work was extensive. His team demo'ed a wall and replaced the handrails, stair treads, risers, and balusters on our both of our staircases. After 12 full days of work, we finally achieved the look and finish we wanted! While we're taking a pause on more renovation projects for a few months, Alex will be my first call when we get back underway. Photos include before and after shots - enjoy!

We did just that when we hired Michael and his team. Michael and his crew are professional, efficient and experienced. He has painted the inside of our home amongst other jobs such as updating bathroom pipes, installing a bathroom vanity and adding a new electrical outlet to our basement (including mapping out the new wiring). Before he provides you with a quote he'll thoroughly look at problem areas and will explain what is not functioning and how he plans to fix the issue. After he completes a job, he'll reach out to ensure you have not had any issues with his work. 10/10 I'd recommend Michael and his team to other homeowners looking to make updates and repairs on their homes.

Unprofessional, Sloppy Work, and Broken Promises - Cost Me $19K Total…read more I hired this contractor for a $15,000 project to parge the rear of my rowhouse. I chose his middle quote and specifically showed him my neighbors' well-done walls for reference. He assured me he could provide a nice, even gray sponge finish to match the front of my house. Instead, he cut corners and delivered completely unacceptable work: Bait-and-Switch on Materials: His quote explicitly included adding metal lathe to the exterior using stainless steel fasteners. On day one of the job, he abruptly changed his mind, claiming he had a "better way to do it." It wasn't better--it was just cheaper for him. Sloppy Application: The mortar was applied unevenly, leaving splotchy colors and completely exposed brick in several areas. Visible Brick Lines: Because he skipped the proper preparation, the brick lines were completely visible right away. He claimed it just needed to "dry," but 6 months later, it still looks terrible. Refused to Complete Repairs: When confronted, he admitted the walls were uneven and claimed painting would fix it. He painted only the back wall, then flat-out refused to paint the two larger dog-leg walls, stating he was "out a ton of money" and "didn't have the funds." Financial Pressure: Halfway through the project, he pressured me into releasing the second payment early, citing his own "cash flow issues." Validation & Extra Costs: I had to pay an additional $4,000 to an independent painting company to finish the dog-leg walls. Even the professional painters pointed out how poorly the mortar was applied, specifically highlighting that it was applied "very thin" at the top of the house. Paying $15,000 for a botched job, cutting corners on the contract, and then shelling out another $4,000 to clean up his mess is a nightmare. Avoid this mason at all costs.

Joe arrived at the end of the day - to check on the work, and encouraged me to call should I ever have concerns or issues, 2 weeks out and I have no issues.

Not only that, Aaron Goodman is the type of professional contractor you hope for but almost never get. When I first contacted him to discuss what I was thinking (replacing old carpet upstairs, refinish stairs and railings and eventually refinishing existing wood floors), Aaron came out, measured and gave me some recommendations based on our existing wood. He referred me to a great showroom so I could pick out the wood to replace the carpet. I took my time deciding and never felt rushed. Aaron kept me up to date on the timeline of wood delivery, start dates and estimated completion dates. His crew was precise and efficient, finishing ahead of schedule. I looked for imperfections, but I was hard pressed to find anything of concern (I found one tiny chip underneath the shoe molding which they easily fixed for me - but I guess they are human after all lol). Installation of my wide-plank solid hardwood flooring was flawless. I appreciate the professional and thorough printed quotes he provides by email (not scribbled on a sheet of paper) and I loved the White Glove Service he and his crew provided. I have been recommending AG Construction to my real estate clients for almost a decade and they have never let me down. Aaron has always bent over backwards for my clients, even if they picked the wrong color, he has always jumped in to make them happy. I'm so excited to finally have a little AG "magic" in my own house!

Rolled right out. It was clear, Goodman's guys didn't even try. I asked how he would fix it and he said when the fridge dies and they take it out they will fix it. I asked for that in writing and Aaron the owner said "trust me." 2. Wood filler popped out of cracks immediately after refinish. 3. LVP supposed to last 10+ yrs. LVP is buckling. 4. Did not level the subfloor prior to installing the LVP. Over time, the LVP hás molded to the imperfections in the plywood sub-flooring. 5. LVP transition broke because threshold was not supported from underneath. The house is old and that was the excuse used at every obstacle. Maybe he's better with perfect scenarios not older homes.
