I can't say enough good things about Andrew and Arista Construction Group. I came to Andrew in an…read moreincredibly vulnerable moment. Our condo had been completely ruined by a flood caused by a burst water pipe, leading to catastrophic mold damage. We had to move out, and our home was stripped down to the studs. The floors, cabinets, and drywall were all gone. At one point, it honestly felt like the place might never be livable again. Andrew came in and completely turned that around. He restored our home into something beautiful, comfortable, and truly exciting to live in again. From the very beginning, he was kind, charismatic, and genuinely listened to all of our concerns. This wasn't an easy project, and there were a few bumps along the way, but whenever something came up, Andrew heard us out and immediately worked to make it right. He always made sure we were happy with the outcome. What meant the most to me was how supportive and reliable he was throughout the entire process. He guided me step by step, treated me with care, and took so much stress off my shoulders. On top of the construction itself, Andrew skillfully handled a complicated situation involving the property management company and insurance reimbursement. In the end, he completed the entire project within the amount provided by insurance, and the results exceeded my expectations. I've included photos to show just how severe the damage was and how incredible my home looks now. What once felt like a total loss has been fully rebuilt thanks to Andrew and his talented team. I'm deeply grateful for his work and recommend him to anyone who wants a contractor they can truly trust.

I contacted several contractors but chose Andrew and I am so happy that I did. He is very, very professional, knowledgeable and most of all respectful and courteous as is his entire crew. Andrew/Arista Construction is very reliable and I highly recommend him and his company. He is an excellent contractor, knows what needs to be done and gets it done. He has a trustworthy and skilled crew. Excellent excellent work!

Stop right here. Look nowhere else. I have done the legwork for you!…read more In 2018 we had Steve and at least 5 other contractors come out to give us a quote on our kitchen remodel. After meeting Steve, there was an authenticity about him that none of the other contractors possessed. Every question that we asked him, he was up front, honest and listened intently to our wants and needs. After receiving many quotes, unfortunately then, we knew we had to save up before we could afford to have our kitchen done. Fast forward to the end of 2019 and we were ready to take the plunge! We knew that Steve was our guy. We gave him a call, he came back out several times to take measurements, design, etc. We had a start date of March 2020. Surprise... COVID! Everything was in limbo and we decided it was best to wait. Finally come August 3rd, 2020 Steve and his helper started demo work. Our final completion date was mid October. During construction time, I had two other friends getting their kitchens done as well. The horror stories they told me of their contractors being late, not being honest, charging more than what the contract stated, etc. had my husband and I feel like we hit the jackpot finding Steve. Many contractors now a days sub everything out and don't lift a finger. Not this guy! He is there every day, doing the work, and is passionate about his craft. He is meticulous and will not cut corners, leaving you a project that you are proud of. Steve is arguably the hardest working human my husband and I have ever met. When you hire Steve, you don't just get a contractor, you get a friend...that turns into family. My husband, my two children and I fell in love with Steve. He brought us joy daily during the two months he was with us and has become part of our extended family. We miss seeing him frequently, but now get to enjoy the work he did on our home daily. All of our friends and family that have walked into our home think we hired a high end contractor and designer for our project. We hired an expert handyman - the name says it all. Expert work at a fair price. Future customers, you can thank me later. ;)

Angel went above and beyond with getting the project done in the face of some major unexpected problems (helped to bring a 400 pound fridge in the building when the delivery company abandoned it outside).

WORK COMPLETED: Painted my unfinished basement from top to bottom (including painting and tacking up messy wires and finding a way to conceal them), smoothed over an uneven concrete basement floor, patched up parts of the ceiling where you could see the rafters, installed recessed lights and moved electrical outlets, built a closet with doors that his team constructed from a picture I showed them, patched up and painted my cracking concrete steps in the front and back of my house, installed a ceiling fan in my bedroom, hung heavy gym wall mirrors on the concrete walls in my basement, eliminated my rodent issue by adding wood siding under my steps and deck and had my iron gate repaired in front of my home. James is a talented painter and he knows his team well in addition to knowing all the local hardware, paint, and electrical stores which helps with product and pricing. You will enjoy working with A Better Craft!
