Andy's Professional Remodeling

Andy has done several remodeling jobs for me and as a real estate professional, I have referred him to my customers. All satisfied with his quality of workmanship and attention to detail. His pricing is fair and he's helpful with current trends and decorating ideas. I highly recommend his services. Arlene L. Show less

If I could give Andy and his excellent team and A++ on this website I would! Beyond the fact that Andy had far and away the most reasonable estimate of the four contractors we communicated with, he was efficient, flexible, and extremely communicative during the entire process. When plans need to be changed (and they did because of structural issues) or when I asked for a modification I had not thought of before, Andy was always creative and willing to adapt to be sure we were happy with the final product. I enjoyed working with Andy and his team so much, I am hoping to have them back to redo my kitchen!

Andy and his crew were excellent. They showed up every morning exactly on time, and worked tirelessly throughout the entire project. They finished much faster than I would have thought possible. Andy was very receptive to my (and my wife’s) ideas and gave us exactly what we wanted and more. His crew was very polite and extremely professional while they were in my home. They also did a great job cleaning up after themselves each day when the work was finished for the night. As far as price goes. I searched and talked with five different contractors and Andy’s price and what he provided over the others was thousands less than his competitors. This is the guy to go to when you need work done.

Excellent communication was given and job completion successfully in time.

Job went very well from start to  finish.  Andy kept us appraised every day on what was going on. He was supervising a job at another site, but came everyday to make sure things were going well.

Andy and his team were excellent to work with. They were well mannered, did a great job, and were clean and tidy. We are very happy with the results and will definitely use Andy in the future.

We called Andy for an estimate based on his Angie's List reviews, and could not be happier that we did! Our basement looks better than we ever could have imagined. Andy is professional, reliable, highly skilled, and is extremely detailed-oriented...and on top of everything, is a very nice guy too. His crew is courteous, hard working, and takes a lot of care in cleaning up thoroughly. We believe we got tremendous quality for the price we paid...and there were no surprises in the final cost, we paid exactly what he estimated. I would not hesitate to hire or recommend Andy for any type of home improvement job. I sincerely believe that no one could provide a better quality service.

Very responsive to inquiry and performed job two days later. We were fortunate that he had a break while working on a big job and was able to fit us in so quickly. Andy and his helper were courteous, professional, protected our newly refinished floor and cleaned up thoroughly upon completion. We will definitely use them again when we need any interior work done. Thanks, Andy.

We've used Andy several times now, and, as always, he provides an excellent balance between quality and cost.  Job was done in one day.  Clean-up after job was excellent.  Deck looks very nice and much improved, an overall very positive experience.

I contacted Andy for an estimate and he came over and was very knowledgeable. We decided to put 3 lights in my attic. put some wood down on the attic floor, and to install the new attic stairs that I had just purchased.

On March 12, Andy came over with 2 other men, (both very nice). They came on time and they stayed for several hours. They cut a hole in the ceiling for the attic stairs. They installed 3 more lights and put a switch right where you come into the attic making it very convenient to turn on. They cut the plywood I bought and screwed it down making it easier and safer to walk on. They put the wood trim that Andy supplied around the stairs opening.

I had previously asked Andy if I should move some items in the room or put down some tarps. Andy said that he will take care of everything and he will  leave everything clean before he left.

All 3 men were hard working, polite and excellent carpenters. The electric work they did was great. They are excellent at many trades. The room was clean and there was nothing for me to do except enjoy my new storage area.

I will not hesitate to call Andy back again for my next project. His price was excellent too. I highly recommend this company.

We just didn't meet our expectations. Dragged it on for weeks. Came and went. Didn't get it finished when they said they would.

Andy did an amazing job. He did everything I needed him to do and then some. Whatever I asked, he knew how to do it. Very experienced and very professional from the start. I would definitely use Andy again for my future projects.

Andy was the first contractor that we called from Angie's List as we looked for someone to finish our basement, and we knew from our first meeting with him that we didn't need to talk to anyone else.  Andy is extremely professional, very knowledgeable and extraordinarily trustworthy.  Everything that he promised upfront he delivered on.  He was on time, on budget and did exactly what he said he would when he said he would.  Even when there were challenges posed during the permit process, he went above and beyond expectations working with the village.  In addition, he always spent the time necessary to deliver what was promised, even when it meant several late nights.  Ultimately, we ended up with a basement we truly love...Andy's translation of our vision into the final product was even better than we had hoped, from initial room design to the final coat of paint.  The attention to detail was fantastic and he didn't stop work until everything was to our satisfaction...though I should note that typically our experience was that everything was done to our satisfaction upfront. We will absolutely be contacting Andy in the near future for additional work we have and we look forward to working with him again.

Andy once again provided superior service in the final remodeling of our basement.  He is very thorough in understanding what we were seeking.  He offered suggestions based on his experience and allowed me to see some of his finished work.  He also searched for solutions to keep the cost as low as possible.  He and his workers are prompt, efficient, and completely clean up after every visit.  He maintains contact throughout the construction to keep me updated and ensure I am happy with the progress.  The final walk through is thorough and he follows up quickly with minor changes or touch ups.  I will use him on future projects as well as refer him as opportunities arise.

The project went great, and Andy was wonderful to work with. I would highly recommend Andy for a number of reasons as detailed below.

1. The estimate was reasonable and fair. I asked Andy to quote the job with the understanding that I would provide most of the materials. Andy is very polite and soft spoken, and from our original introduction, I had a very good feeling about working with him, and that is important. The estimate was delivered via email within a couple of days. The estimate is not a typical estimate by a building firm where everything is completely detailed, but rather a thoughtful description of the work to be done and the materials Andy will provide. The estimate is more like a letter with generalized bullet points, but it worked for me. I did not contact other remodelers, because this job was a long time coming and I had spoken to other contractors in the past, so I knew that Andy's estimate was more than fair. We agreed to the terms, and the work was to start in 2-3 weeks. I began ordering materials at that time, and everything was delivered and ready when Andy and Carlos arrived on Sept. 16 to begin working.
2. Andy and Carlos are very hard workers. They are neat, to boot. Tarps were laid each day to protect the carpet and wood floors, and they probably made one thousand trips up and down the stairs during the course of the job. Also, another thing I noticed immediately was the quiet close to the front door. I can't get my kids to close the door quietly, but Andy and Carlos did each of the thousand times they went in and out of the house. I appreciated that. They were also helpful and careful. Each night everything was cleaned up. The area was vacuumed, the garage was swept, the tarps were removed, and the garbage was bundled. It was still unavoidably messy around the house, but it wasn't a nightmare!
3. The work itself was excellent and proceeded in a timely manner. Because the majority of the work was done by Andy and Carlos, the progress on a daily basis was steady, but not overwhelming. If you want a large job done in 3 or 4 days, you will need to hire someone with a larger crew. I liked the fact that Andy performed all the difficult work himself, including rewiring electrical, moving plumbing, and measuring/installing the board and batten wall treatment. Andy will consult with you as the job proceeds. This was easy in my case because I was home during the remodel, so there were never any misunderstandings. He is very patient with modest indecision, as well, because he wants you to be happy. He believes it is your house, and what is done should be how you want it. A third man was brought in to install the tile, and this helped move things along. There are a few imperfections in the tile installation, but they are minor and would not be noticed by anyone other than me. Tiling is a very difficult decision because it is so permanent, and I had a very hard time deciding. I made a number of 11th hour changes, and Andy was very understanding, again he wants the homeowner to be happy. I am very pleased that I was able to modify my original intent. I love how the bathroom turned out.
4. The work that was done included 1) complete demolition of the existing bathroom, 2) electrical work including new sconces, upgraded exhaust fan, new outlet boxes, rewiring, can lights, and heated floor, 3) plumbing work including moving all hot and cold pipes behind the walls for a new vanity placement,  shower valve relocation, and new valve and floor drain for a freestanding bathtub, 4) tile work including tiling the shower with a mosaic from floor to ceiling, and 12x24 tiles on the floor, 5) carpentry work including installing a board and batten trim around all the walls (this was an 11th hour change not included in the original estimate) and drywall repair, and 6) painting and finishing work including painting all the walls and the trim and installing all the lights, plumbing fixtures, fan, accessories and towel warmer.

In the end, my bathroom looks fantastic. it looks nicer than most of the other rooms in my house now! Andy and his crew were wonderful to work with. They arrived on time every day, and worked each and every day until the job was completed. Because there were some changes to the work as things progressed, the final tally for the work was about $1,000 more than the original estimate, but I expected that. I will gladly have Andy back to do work in the future. It was a very good decision to hire him.

Excellent job :-)
