I needed to have my bathroom and a closet redone after some foundation waterproofing was done. All in One did a great job and I will definitely use them again in the future for future contracting needs.

Excellent. The "team" made my closets look like a picture in a magazine. Color coordinated/ good use of space. They worked with me to make important things easily accessible for me- which was very important due to a recent health issue.

Simply the best around for painting or contracting services. I have used them for interior painting for past 8 years and more recently to build a new closet, hard wood floors and built in book shelves. Amazing customer service and lovely flowers when the job was finished. Can't go wrong!

I would prefer not to use them, but they are the closet dealership to me. I am not a big fan of dealerships.

I purchased an Angie's List Big Deal for this service and it turned out good. They circled the perimeter with a pump sprayer of the house to where the property and the house met. Then they treated the inside of the house and basically went to all the baseboards and closets in all the rooms.

Perfectly. Prompt scheduling and on time for day of repairs. Manager and workers clearly explained the work to be done and completed in a timely manner. Completed closet doors have functioned perfectly since. High quality work.

Javier re-organized four of my closets. The downside is that his English is not very good and communication was difficult at times. However, the upside is that he has an architecture background and is quite creative with the possible reconfigurations he can provide (shelves for shoes and...
