"I hired Bob Phalan for repairs and renovation of a rental unit in Dorchester that had wear and tear from multiple tenants. Bob worked on replacing exterior clapboards, renovating the bathroom with new tiles, replacing bathroom rotten wood frame window with a vinyl frame, installing new light fixtures and repairing bathroom plumbing, repairing torn screens, as well as repainting all walls and trim throughout the unit. He also plastered damaged ceilings and cleaned and organized the basement storage area. Bob arrived early each day and worked diligently. Bob is a good problem solver and can suggest ways to do repairs for the best outcome while keeping costs down. I would definitely hire him again."
"Great response for not a big job of repairing a 2×2 hole, some patches and installing baseboard. Repairs and patches were done quickly and cleanly, was able to accommodate my changes to the baseboards and installed new trim matching the old trim perfectly."
"These guys are honest, reliable and incredibly hard working! They have cleaned up a large yard and have kept it looking so nice; they also built and planted a new flower bed. Additionally, they put down landscaping fabric, mulched and anchored it so it solved a huge problem in our yard. Aurelioâ s crew also redid a garden at a rental property and did a mass clean out of the basement and garage. Finally, they repaired a Japanese arbor that was smashed in a wind storm. Next I am having them build a water feature! Highly recommend AMLâ we are so happy that we found them!"
"I hired Bertie to repair some ceilings in my kitchen, living room, and bathroom. He did a really nice job and left the house tidy when it was all said and done. He was responsive to my calls, and very friendly and professional. The work looks great and I've already recommended him to a friend. He is definitely a plaster guy I'd call in the future."

"He was able to come to my home quickly and repair 2 windows, including the screens that had been destroyed by my dog. It was done in a clean and professional manner. Would recommend as it was worth the price and how quickly it was resolved."
"Dhan did an amazing job putting together a large buffet table that had over 1,000 pieces (screws, etc) and it looks great. He’s very prompt, reliable and professional. I would hire him again for any kind of service. You will not be disappointed in his work"
"This was a fantastic experience! The work was done beautifully, and efficiently. We had a backyard deck that needed some major work, and Cory completed the repairs on time, within budget, and considerably improved the aesthetic value of the deck. He also did some necessary repairs on a backyard shed, and replaced a skylight in our house. All of the work was very well done, efficiently and in a timely manner. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone who needs repair work done on their property, inside or out. We have full confidence in his ability to provide knowledgeable and professional service, and would absolutely call on him again for future property improvements."
