I used Aleks to help me out with basement work. I worked alongside with him and got to see first hand type of work he does. He was very responsive to my needs and timeline and all the requests/changes that I have thrown at him. I was looking for a quality work at a reasonable price and that is exactly what I got. He was easy to deal with with, his communication skills are excellent and the most important was that he was honest and trustworthy. I was happy with his knowledge of codes and procedures in all aspects of the project. I would highly recommend him and will personally use him again for other projects. Excellent work!

"It was a challenging and a way too fun project. Yeah lots of sweat and cuts/ bruises but heck of a fun project. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of it. I enjoyed it (not the digging part :P ) . Best part... it will endure the test of time ( we kicked azz ;) . Thx Mirko for the fun times"

We were very impressed with him. We will use him again when we remodel the family room or basement. He seemed very professional. We were going to install it in a certain place, and he made us realize that if someone lost their balance they could fall down the stairs. We moved it to another area. It worked really well. It has stayed in place. He came on time and did what he said he was going to do. We were very pleased with the work.

He was very good. Very punctual, and very responsive. Although he is not exactly the most professional of options, his price and quality make it well worthwhile.

This was a broken-pipe flooding repair, and the insurer required us to get bids. We did not know any good local contractors, so subscribed to Angie's for the purpose of finding a good one. We selected three. All showed up and provided estimates, but one was overly vague (we gathered he was not really interested in the job), and Alek was lower than the other contractor. We agreed to hire him. He showed up promptly the first day, and had all the tools he would need for the job. He was professional in his approach, and described what he would be doing - step-by-step. In a couple instances, he found hidden damage that required work beyond the original scope; in those cases, he was very reasonable in his additional charge, and carefully explained why the additional work was required. We supplied most of the materials for the job ( tile, laminate flooring, shower, vanity, medicine cabinet, lights and rods), but those he supplied were of more than adequate quality. The workmanship was excellent; Alek knows what he is doing. We already have plans to use Alek again, and do not hesitate to recommend him.

The worst contractor ever. Didn't keep any promises, used inferior materials, didn't show up at all most days. He was overmatched and underqualified. He used subs for almost everything and they were people he got off the street or in ads he placed. He installed railings going upstairs with two anchors, didn't bother to find the studs. The very first day, my pregnant wife almost fell down the stairs when the railing came out of the wall. All of the electrical he did has malfunctioned in some way. Didn't glue the drywall as promised. The moldings are all separating from the ceiling.

"How much did the final cost compare to the original estimate? right on How does the value of the work compare to the price? I paid too much Do i need to say more after 3 yrs since project done and many more for this response? I have picture and file (emails included) documentation to show how much additional work was done at no cost to the homeowners. Just to throw this in... all electrical work was at no cost, and had to be done in order not to prolong the project. THe staircase handrail was put up at the end of the day to provide me with references as to where You wanted it despite the local codes and i was clear that this is to to figure out what you are comfortable with. NOT afterward! Clients like you Member tends to make me think twice when i work on projects that i always think as working on my own home. Thank you for the great review and i cringe to think of the next professional working for you. If in doubt, all evidence in paper and tons of pics are available. [email protected]"

Alek took my vision for the basement (drawn on a piece of paper) and made it come to life. He fixed the steps heading down to the basement, framed out and painted walls, spray painted the raw ceiling, wired us for electrical, hung doors and lighting and much, much more. He's a great problem solver and both he and his assistant are reliable and creative. They aren't the fastest contractors, but I got more than my money's worth and the attention to detail is much appreciated. With the exception of the carpeting, Alek did everything involved in our remodel. I was touched by Alek's concern for our lifestyle. He asked for our children's nap schedule so that loud work wouldn't wake them and he fed our cats while we were on vacation. I highly recommend him.
Response from Aleksandar Markovic
"Hehe ... i am back. In terms of typical basement... ummm there was still coal in there ;). Was a great project, and gave me excuse to purchase a spay gun. ( woooot (for the ceiling)) After the happy dance for having a new tool it was fun creating what someone else wanted, and i hope i got it to the T as i tried. (BTW i caught hell for loosing my wedding band at your place). I know you recommended me to your friend and i failed since i needed to attend to an emergency back in Europe. Never the less, after all these years i want to thank you for the opportunity to have another "canvas" and freedom to create. Thank you, Alek"

Alek was creative and wonderful to work with. He spent a lot of time with us discussing the project and what needed to be done before we even hired him. He listened to us and was very considerate of our needs. Once the project began, Alek continued to work with us every step of the way. An honest man - truly a gem among contractors!

Complete Construction was excellent to work with. They are extremely knowledgeable and versatile. They are skilled in many different areas of construction & remodeling. They made suggestions about how to manage specific issues and suggested innovative products that were cost-effective and easy to work with. They solved many problems for us. They were neat & clean at the job site. The quality of their work was outstanding. And their pricing was very fair.

Alek was a professional from beginning to end. He was on time, friendly, intelligent, polite, good about closing the gate so the dog wouldn't get out, and completed the work professionally and carefully. Always cleaned up before leaving. As we saw the project progressing, we realized additional work that could be done to make more use of the space we had. Alek was always agreeable. In fact, he continually asked us if there were other things we wanted done. The project took about two months. Because he had another job that took longer than expected, he worked on our project on the weekends. We would not hesitate to employ Alek again. In fact, we already asked him for a quote on remodeling the upstairs powder room.

Alek is a wonderful person to work with. He and his assistant, Stanislav, were great. They were on time, detail oriented and did great work for a fair price! We hope to hire Alek again for other projects.

Very cooperative & polite, Alek helped out with many other repairs that came up along the way & also completed another unforeseen bedroom remodel/window replacement project as well. Reasonably priced & worked with our budget. Did take a bit longer than expected to complete the job, but the work was of good quality & he followed up after every step to make sure we were satisfied with everything.

Aleksander is very committed to satisfying Angie's list customers. He arrived on time, was very accommodating to my children's schedules and was very professional. The little plastic handle did come off the pull down the first day, but that was a matter of the materials, not the workmanship. I would definitely consider hiring him again.

The great thing about Alex is it's like working with a friend - he cares about the work he's doing, goes the extra mile and will walk you through what you should be thinking about if you need the help. He was always on-time, worked hard, was very friendly to our kids and our dog and did a great job on the kitchen. We now have a 18x13 kitchen with ceramic counters and floors, new windows, dishwasher, pot rack and beautifully hung cabinets. I would definitely recommend Alex for your next renovation job. He's done a small job for us - and a large one - and did them both wonderfully. Thanks, Alex!

The work was so well done, and Alek Markovic was so professional: always prompt, very courteous, willing to go the extra mile. (In fact, he bid the job last year on the day we had that 14'' snowfall!) He thought of all the little technical details I either didn't remember or didn't know about and had great design ideas as well. Two other households in my condo building are having CCCC do their kitchens & baths this spring.

We used Alex to finish the basement. He started on the day we agreed and took about one day to set up all the equipment he needed. He was able to frame the basement within the first week of starting. Some of the walls were complicated and took a little longer. The drywall looked great once it was joined, taped, sanded and primed. Alex was friendly, easy to talk to, and listened to our ideas about the layout of the basement and the drop ceiling. He was creative and knowledgeable about the electrical system and also how certain finishing accents would look, such as the style and color of the baseboards. We were satisfied with the outcome and have recommended his services to some family and friends who were also interested in light remodeling in their homes.

AS NEW PARENTS AND PET OWNERS WE WERE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE FRIENDLY, RESPECTFUL, AND ACCOMMODATING. WE FOUND THAT IN OUR FIRST MEETING WITH ALEKSANDER MARKOVIC. HE IS TRULY A TALENTED PROFESSIONAL. HE IS ALSO PUNCTUAL, DEPENDABLE, AND COMMUNICATIVE AND WORKS CLOSELY WITH YOU TO ACHIEVE THE RESULTS YOU WANT FOR YOUR HOME. AFTER MEETING WITH SEVERAL DUBIOUS CONTRACTORS, ALEKSANDER CAME IN AND QUOTED US A GREAT PRICE FOR THE AMOUNT OF WORK TO BE DONE. ALEKSANDER KEPT US WELL INFORMED EVERY STEP OF THE WAY, ESPECIALLY WHEN HE DISCOVERED TWO MAJOR LEAKS IN THE BATHROOM (ONE IN THE MAIN STACK, THE OTHER IN THE MAIN DRAIN LINE), WHICH HE FIXED AT NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE. ALEKSANDER'S RECOMMENDATIONS ALSO HELPED US KEEP OUR BUDGET DOWN. HE REALLY MINIMIZED THE STRESS THAT COMES WITH REMODELING. WHAT WE GOT FROM CCCC WAS TRULY AN EXTREME HOME MAKEOVER!

THE WORK WAS BEING DONE ON A HOUSE THAT WE WERE ABOUT TO MOVE INTO. WE WANTED TO GET THE WORK DONE PRIOR TO MOVING, IN ORDER TO MINIMIZE THE CLEANUP, AND HAD A VERY DEMANDING TIMELINE THAT INVOLVED COORDINATING AROUND OTHER CONTRACTORS (ELECTRICAL AND FLOORING). ALEKSANDAR WAS ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE OUR DEMANDING SCHEDULE, AND DID A GREAT JOB. HE EVEN OFFERED TO COME BACK AN EXTRA DAY, AT NO CHARGE, TO MAKE SURE THE PLASTER WAS SMOOTH.

ALEKSANDER IS A CONSUMATE PROFESSIONAL. SPECTACULAR COMMUNICATION, WORK ETHIC AND WORK QUALITY. HE DID ALL OF THE WORK HIMSELF, STAYING IN CONSTANT COMMUNICATION DURING THE PROCESS. HE IS A NEW CONTRACTOR, AND IF HE KEEPS UP THIS LEVEL OF WORK, HE WILL BE VERY SUCCESSFUL. ALEKSANDER DID 5 DAYS OF WORK ON THE DRYWALL FOR $650.00 WITHOUT MATERIALS. THE OTHER QUOTE I GOT FOR THE SAME WORK FROM SOMEONE ELSE WAS $3,200.00. ALEX IS WORKING HARD AT A LOW RATE RIGHT NOW TO BUILD A CLIENT BASE. BETTER HIRE HIM WHILE YOU CAN, BECAUSE HIS RATES SHOULD DESERVEDLY GO UP IN THE FUTURE. HE WILL BE YOUR GO-TO GUY FOR CONTRACTING AFTER YOU SEE HIS WORK. THANKS ALEKSANDER!
