After buying a short sale, my husband and I realized that the house needed extensive renovations. I contacted Alberto (Al) Velasco, the owner of A Plus International Painting, to get a quote on drywall work and interior painting. Al is also a general contractor and offered to give me a quote for all of our renovation needs (listed elsewhere). First and foremost, Al's quote came within 24 hours of his meeting with me. Also, Alberto's quote was much lower than the other contractor I had contacted. Al's team did the painting, drywall, crown moulding, baseboards, pressure washing, ext. painting, pool repair, and some light carpentry. Al's team consists of five or so pleasant, talented, and trustworthy young men. Al contracted out the other work, but the rates were still quite reasonable, and he has many connections. For example, the wood flooring came from a source of his, and it is gorgeous and perfectly installed, and though around the same price as the wood flooring at the big box retailers, his material was of a higher quality. Al also directed me to a qualified electrician, Juan Hincapie. And I had Al's nephew William install the master closet, linen closet, bathroom closet, and two bedroom closets, all of which look beautiful. I can't say enough nice things about Al and his work on the house. His prices on the crown moulding, painting, drywall, gutter replacement, and bathroom remodeling were particularly reasonable. He had a lot of good ideas and was quite helpful during the renovation. (This was our first house and we knew next to nothing about renovations of this scale.) Whenever there was a problem (e.g., the sliding glass door was sticking), he took care of it immediately. During the renovation process, he was at the house five or six days a week. The renovations took about 7 weeks. I highly recommend A Plus International Painting and Alberto Velasco, as well as his team.
