"It was our third time using The Handy Veteran and it will not be the last. Kevin and his team are absolutely top notch! Our first job with Kevin was to replace and paint all of the wood and trim in our entire house, replace carpet with LVP flooring on a third of the floors in our 3000sqf home, refaced our fireplace, install a new front door, & paint the entire house. Second job was to repair and paint our large deck. This last job was to replace more floors, remodel our guest bathroom and hang multiple lights fixtures. Our first job was in 2020 and the initial work they did is still perfect. Kevin stands by his work. He is not satisfied until the job is done right and was extremely accommodating to all of our requests. He wanted us satisfied and happy with the work and even made some great suggestions that really enhanced the final outcome. Him and his team are extremely respectful of our time, professional, friendly and trustworthy. Also very fair with their pricing! "

"Mary offered great advice on how to make our garage more functional, and was extremely receptive to our feedback. The guys who installed the cabinets did a great job! Overall we are very happy."

"Tom & his crew were professional & super at the jobs they did. They did repairs on my garage and front porch, which included wood repair & painting. They sealed all around the house as well. I will be using them again to do glass block window repair & other projects. Thank you for the Excellent work! "

"The quality of work is fantastic, and Marek is the best project manager you could ask for. The reason I removed one star is because I believe the quoted contract price, specifically for allowances, can improve. You should expect to add a minimum of $20,000 to your contract price. I also recommend referring to your contract throughout to ensure you aren’t getting an extra charge for something that should be included. Like I said, the quality of work is fantastic, but the up front pricing can improve."

"Excellent customer service. Very prompt returning calls. Reasonable pricing and work was completed as scheduled. Great quality of work!"

"We did a remodel of our Kitchen and Master bath. The kitchen was a big project, taking out a wall and removing the back door, enlarging our bay to accommodate sliding doors. New countertops, cabinets and an island were installed. Tile was removed from the kitchen/ foyer and replaced with hardwood floors. They gave us a time frame for 4 months. We added on painting, carpet installation. tiling a hallway and new vanity and toilet in the half bath. They accommodated the extra work and completed it in a timely manner, without interruption for other jobs. We could not be more pleased with the work. Everything turned out beautifully. Terry, Jody and Brian were a pleasure to work with. They were reliable, on time and cleaned up daily. Jody is a perfectionist and if something wasn't done right it would be redone to meet his standards. They were helpful with design and handled every add on. They did not ask for money up front and kept cost updated frequently."

"The work was done promptly and professionally. Dan, the owner, was trustworthy and did the work himself so I was comfortable having the work performed when no one was home. "

"Above and Beyond Construction recently completed an almost whole-house renovation including a family room addition, a fully remodeled kitchen, relocated stairways, three bathrooms, and a finished basement. The addition seamlessly blends with the original spaces, making it feel like a natural extension of my home. The work is detailed and outstanding to the point that visitors do not know where the original 1911 house ends and the 2024 house begins. The highly skilled craftsmen matched the woodwork details of the original house to the new addition perfectly. Chester is easy to work with, has a positive outlook, and a good sense of humor. He will work with you to answer questions, provide suggestions, and address concerns throughout the renovation process. Above and Beyond transformed my little frame house from an outdated, decades-neglected, design and décor calamity left by the prior owners into an elegant space that honors tradition yet transcends centuries."

"I bought a 105 year old home that has been in my family several generations. I knew I would need a lot of help to update yet preserve this California bungalow. Salvator immediately saw my vision, the houses potential and correct tasks needed to preserve, update, and reliably work on this unique home with the things I needed done. There were almost daily pivots needed and his crew (Emilio, Noe, Henry) rose to each challenge with a way not only to just make it work but also to improve what was already there. Salvator helped me make a few choices with his experience and expertise which worked out amazing. Salvator was the only contractor who recommended things to be done the right way not the cheapest way which would only lead to major and costly problems later. This is my second time working with this group and I would reach out again in an instant if needed. Their craftsmanship and professionalism is worth every penny and that is not always easy to find. "

"Michael Garman is not only an artist, he is the nicest person ever. His work is of the highest caliber. He is a perfectionist with his work. This is the FOURTH time I have hired Michael and will do so again. You won't find anyone better. He is always on time, polite, friendly and goes out of his way to help. He is so neat there is nothing to clean up afterwards. All that's left is to enjoy the beautiful job he has done."
