"We hired them to build a retaining wall to level out our sloped backyard and install a new patio. They recommended natural bluestone bordered by classic bricks, and wow?what a difference! The stonework is flawless, perfectly level, and handles heavy rain with zero drainage issues. It looks like a high-end resort back here now. Worth every penny."

"Nelson the owner from Premier Basement came out and assessed my problem quickly. He is very professional, fair pricing, and walked me through a process that I knew nothing about with his vast knowledge and experience. I highly recommend him and his company. It was a great experience amongst so many who try to take advantage of you and price gouge with high pressure sales."

"Anush and his team were absolutely amazing, and our porch turned out better than we expected thanks to his ideas/recommendations. The attention to detail/pride they take in their work truly stand out and far exceeded our experiences with contractors in the past. One of my favorite parts is how much I genuinely love coming home now. It completely changed the look and feel of the front of our house, and every time I pull into the driveway it makes me happy to see it. I will absolutely be recommending AVSTEP to anyone planning renovations or building a home. We already have several more projects planned for our house in the coming months, and without question we’ll be using Anush and his team again. It’s such a great feeling to know we now have a contractor we genuinely trust and can confidently call whenever we need work done. Even our neighbors have been commenting on how beautiful the front of our house looks and what an incredible job they did. Below are the before and after pictures"

"My wife and I were having trouble in our basement, as we were getting a mysterious puddle down there every so often, and we couldn't figure out where it was coming from. We'd had vents replaced, sump pumps replaced, and then had two other basement companies come in to look at the issue. Now, we have french drains down there already, but they were installed before we bought the property. Both of the first two basement companies told us our drainage system was either all wrong or installed improperly, and that we'd have to install a whole new system along one wall for $4k (said the first company) or along all four walls for $14k (said the second company). That didn't seem right to me, particularly as we had a drainage system, but both companies seemed to care more about their sales pitch than addressing the problem.
At that point, I signed up for Angie's List (moral of the story, thank you AL) and called American A-1 with my hunch. Jeff came over the next day and was first and foremost a super friendly, extremely knowledgable guy.First, he took a look at our current drainage system and said something the other two hadn't — that, while he would have done one or two things differently, our french drains looked to be installed perfectly fine. So he started poking around other places as I explained what the other two companies had said. He wasn't only shocked at the price, but mortified that somebody would tell us to rip up our basement like that. As a former building inspector, he seemed to really great knowledge set in general (he even gave me some free tips as he was looking around), and eventually came to the conclusion that he thought it was a plumbing issue, most likely something to do with the boilers. Jeff said he wished he could do more, but he wasn't a trained plumber, but said that would be his next phone call. He wished me all the best and left his card.
Fast forward a few weeks, and it turns out Jeff was exactly right: a plumber came out and confirmed it was one of the boiler's pressure release systems going off intermittently, and projecting in such a way that it ended up as a puddle far away from it. No basement drain installation necessary.
Seriously, I cannot say enough nice things about these guys. Not only did they save us money, but they saved us from having our basement ripped up and not even having the issue resolved. Jeff didn't make me sit down and listen to a half-hour to an hour sales pitch about this, that, and the other thing — he came and did what I wanted the first two companies to do: try and figure out the problem and not assume they knew what it was.
While I can't speak to their actual work, I can say that I would recommend American A-1 in a heartbeat. I think it's easy to be cynical about service providers these days — and as my first two basement companies goes to show, you should still be — which is why when you find one of the truly good ones, it's such a revelation. American A-1 truly is one of the good ones. Don't hesitate to call them."
