Affordable Home Solutions

On June 5, 2025 Chris came over to my house and looked over the work I was needing to have done on the exterior of my house. Chris told me that he and his workers have done this work before and that they could to the job and gave me a estimate. I accepted his estimate over two other companies that had bid the job. On June 18, 2025 Chris the owner and worker show up at my house to fix and paint my exterior foundation. When they were over have way done working on fixing the foundation the worker told me that "he and boss never did this kind of work before". I did ask Chris about knowing what he was doing to reassure myself and he kept telling me he has done this work before. I seen the worker and Chris take pieces of concrete that had broken off and put it back in the spots and just applied new concrete over it. I asked Chris if he should be doing that and he said yes that it would help fill the area and make it stronger. On June 20, 2025 Chris had two new workers with him. When I was by the window in my house I heard him explaining like it was class time on how to mix and apply the concrete to apply on the foundation. Again, Chris told me in the beginning the he and his workers knew what they were doing. I had to tell them many times they missed or didn't cover areas on the foundation. On Saturday June 21, 2025 I had called Chris and told him that the mess he left my house was not right and that I wasn't going to pay him if this didn't get cleaned up. Chris and his workers left concrete all over side walks/steps/gutters, all over my siding, dumped a pail of concrete in a tree stump in back yard, concrete all over my lawn, on a tarp that covered my new grill, all over my new basement windows I put in last year, killed grass leaving his stuff over night on the lawn, concrete put on foundation sloppy. On June 22, 2025 Chris did text me stating he was going to make it right. There's still concrete on sidewalks/steps/gutters, from the cleaning solutions he used to clean my siding there's spots and still concrete left on , tarp on grill never got cleaned, new basement windows concrete was not formed around right, the grass is yellow from dying and there's concrete debris in it, concrete on foundation is sloppy and areas not fixed. I had told Chris I wanted a light gray paint to cover the foundation. He showed me a picture of a house on the internet of a foundation which it looked white to me and I stated I want light gray to match the steps so the foundation blends in with the steps. On June 23, 2025 Chris applied a gray slate color to my foundation. He was only at my house for less than 6 hours and told me that he was done. Chris stated he put 2-3 coats on my foundation in that amount of time. Chris had paint all over the place like the grass, sidewalk/siding/gutters, steps. I told Chris I would like to keep the paint because there would need to be touched ups down the road. I did pay Chris for the work. Chris took the paint with him when he left. I had to call Chris to bring the paint back to my house I told him to leave for touch ups. He stated he would bring it back the next day late afternoon he never showed up. I contacted Chris that evening about not showing up and he stated out of town working and will bring it between 12-1pm was late showing up. Chris brought me the paint but it was in a different pail in a THE HOME DEPOT pail. I asked WHY is the paint in different pail Chris stated that the cover broke on the other pail it was in but he wrote on this pail all the information I needed on it. I told him that his work was dishonest, that he lied to me about him and his workers knowing what they were doing, the mess he made with my house and yard, the paint was not the right color looking more like light blue then light gray. I stated to him that I should get the money back and that I was going to report him. Chris first stated that he would give me $600 then I told him that the paint I would have to go get more or get this fixed because of the color. Chris then stated he would give me $800 and I took the money. Chris stated he was taping me and that I couldn't go to court or get a attorney or sue him after taken the money. I called The Home Depot to help me with paint and they said to bring it in. I went to The Home Depot and the Manager in the paint area said that was there paint. He stated that Chris had put on the wrong paint on the foundation. That the paint was for garage floor not foundation. Also stated that the $300 Chris wrote on the pail he paid out for was wrong they don't charge that a amount for it. Chris stated he put 2-3 coats of paint on the foundation which was impossible said the manager because you have to wait 4-6 hours between each coat. So in the amount of time Chris was at my house on that Monday there's NO way he put that many coats on. So after paying me out some of the money I found out he lied about wrong paint and the cost. I did ask him for a proof of receipts on the supplies and didn't get.

Job was done well. Called promptly to advise he'd be an hour late. Easy to work with.

This guy was a professional. I was comfortable. Thank you!

Very responsive. Was able to get our job done in a couple days. Super friendly and did great work! Will definitely use again.

Chris was professional and friendly. Got the job done in a very reasonable time. I would recommend him and hire him again in the future.

For a second floor (condo) deck sanding and painting plus a faucet replacement, I am very pleased with the results. Chris was impressively knowledgeable and did a fantastic job. The cost was lower than I expected. He really knows his business. Highly recommend.

Chris was very knowledgeable and did a wonderful job with my drain issues. Would definitely hire him again and recommend him to others.

Great job!

Chris and his partner did a phenomenal job on EVERYTHING. The previous tenants in the house I just started renting had dogs and cats and the dogs peed in one of the bedrooms and the cats peed in one of the closets. The smell was horrendous even after I used a rug doctor half a dozen times on it. The smell is now gone and the carpet looks virtually brand new. They also did both sets of stairs and those were disgustingly stained and surprisingly they got about 95% of it cleaned up and looking amazing. They also steamed and shampooed my huge couch that the cushions on the seat and back come off from. My 3 littles left some serious stains on my couch and now I can't even find one single stain. They even were able to get the twix bar that was shoved behind a cushion and melted. I definitely did not think they would be able to get that chocolate and Carmel off of there let alone make it look like it never happened. 100% reccomend these guys. They are also super reasonably priced!

Very quick to respond and was able to do the job in a timely manner.

The Affordable Home Solutions team is top notch! Definitely having them back again to clean my place:)

I rent so my landlords hired Chris, and I can honestly say I have never had a maintenance man come into my house and do such a professional job. Not only does he work around my crazy work schedule, but he has always showed up ready to complete the job with any and every tool he may need (he even brought his industrial fan to dry my floor). I would highly recommend Chris for any around the house project.

I needed an instant installation, and he arrived within 30 minutes, ready to work. Not only did he complete the job quickly, but the installation was done perfectly. The microwave looks great and works like a charm. He?s a great guy, professional, and efficient. Highly recommend!

Chris did an amazing job restoring our dining room and family room carpet. We thought it was ruined but we gave it one more chance and he really pulled it off. Will definitely be calling him back for future cleanings .

We hired Chris to clean our carpets on the main floor and basement. It turned out so nice. Chris was professional, friendly and was even kind to our dogs who kept trying to get in his way, even though we tried to keep them away from the work area. He answered all the questions we had, and when he was finished he cleaned up after himself, and the carpets smelled so good. He was able to get rid of a few stains that we could never get out. Highly recommend Chris!

Chris provided me with excellent service and prompt service I had some furniture cleaned,carpet traffic areas cleaned plus grout cleaning. Very efficient and friendly. Highly recommend for any of his wife range of customer service needs.

His pricing was very affordable, especially given the high quality of the work he did. He treated my carpets as if they were his own, bringing them back to life and making them look brand new again. I highly recommend Affordable Home Solutions to anyone in the Sartell area.
