This was their review on FB: About 4+ years ago I knew we needed to leave our 3 story townhouse and move to something where we could have a downstairs bedroom bath and laundry...but there aren't many homes like that in the city. I happened upon a company that did home renovations. They not only helped us find a place by looking at homes we were considering but did the renovations. Yes, I recommend the company...but this is a thank you to the PEOPLE...Patti and Mike Aleto who continue to check in on us, knowing Mary's health challenges. My grandfather was a contractor but died when I was 1. The stories I hear about him remind me of Mike...wanting to do the job right...continuing on thru struggles (for my family it was keeping a business going through the depression; for the Aleto's through the recession and pandemic). Patti...well she is the heart while Mike is the hand. I swear she'd give their services away and probably has...but together Mike and Patti have a head for the business...but also a heart and hand for the people they serve.

I have a vintage condo in the, Tower Grove East neighborhood of St Louis, thanks to Garcia…read moreProperties. When I made the decision to move back to STL from suburban life in IL, I knew I wanted to use Garcia Properties as my agent. I support several of their restaurants along Kingshighway and like how they truly believe in the city. The day I stopped in to start the process, I met with a young lady (forget her name) and she asked a variety of questions. She then matched me up with, Stefan Kelly. When we met, I told Stefan I wasn't under any time frame. My goal was to really find the perfect match. We worked as a team, I searched Zillow and followed other listings as well. I started out wanting a bungalow or some type of small house. Then I started looking at condos, as a possibility. Once I did that, I knew I was on the right track. Once I found the one that meet all my needs, Stefan and the Garcia team made it a reality. So, if you're looking for your first, or a new dream home, I highly recommend Garcia Properties.

We worked together for four years before I knew I was ready to buy... And Jennifer helped me every step of the way. I was not in a hurry to purchase, it was more important to have the right fit...

Not only is she knowledgeable, responsive, and a great communicator of the process, Jennifer is a wonderful person to be around.

I had several of these vendors pull ME aside and tell me how much they love working with Colleen.  It's comforting when you have absolute trust that every handyman, mortgage broker, cleaner... will be top notch and follow through.   I would recommend Colleen to anyone looking to buy or sell in St. Louis.  We thank her for all her help!

My current Payne home was built 4 years ago. I have had many issues including HVAC trunks not…read morebeing connected, popped seams, etc, but the flatwork on the front porch is obviously defective. Most sections of the driveway, sidewalk, steps are fine. One section of the front porch is crumbling and getting worse with each freeze. The aggregate is poured too high and the skim is only barely covering the aggregate. The skim pops and the aggregate crumbles. Payne says this normal and to use some patch and then stain everything to make it match. It's insulting as anyone who sees this can tell it's just this one botched section that is crumbling. I will not be recommending Payne homes to any future clients.
