We had thought we did our homework, calling for 4 other estimates from siding contractors in addition to A1 Interiors & Exteriors Home Improvements. My husband knew the owner Ed Saki and his family for over 40 years as reliable contractors. We thought we could trust Ed as he is the company owner, would be on the job site and not use sub contractors. Ed gave us a price that was not the cheapest but not the most expensive, plus an extended warranty. When we contracted, paid the intial deposit Ed told us 3 weeks to complete the project and we would be sooooo happy and satified with the finished product. Needless to say, we are neither happy nor satified. As with any large exterior home improvement project on an older home it is understood there will be unforeseen circumstances that can extend the timeline, some bad weather, but that being said there were days it was perfectly sunny with no sign of A-1 Interiors & Exteriors on the project. The 3 weeks turned into 3 months, there were several requests for additional funds from Ed, which were met and as per contract we were not obligated to pay until completion, but felt that was the only way to get the project finished. Ed was constantly having too many issues to list. We made the final payment feeling sorry for him, (shame on us) knowing there were things on the punch list that needed to be correted and Ed assured us he would come back soon. The most important of those things is the gutter leader over the electric meter (rain now is constantly pouring down on the meter), a window pane his company broke in the attic, installing a pair of shutters and 5 screens that he took for repair damaged during constuction. His company stored tools etc. in our shed and were not closing the doors correctly (if at all) and they are now difficult to close. Ed claimed he did not break the attic window (it wasn't broken when he started the job) then agreed to fix it and the shed doors, took the screens for repair and again assured us he would be back soon to take care of the other items on the punch list. Two months and many unanswered phone messages later, we finally got the screens back from his emloyee (who had them in his garage), bought the materials and paid his employee to replace the screens as well as the broken window in the attic. It is now four months after giving Ed the final payment. We have asked Ed for resolution by leaving numerous unanswered phone messages. Then recently when either of us track him down, Ed always says he will be there that day or the next day and never shows up. At this point we have no other recourse other to file a claim with consumer affairs, hire another contractor and go to small claims court for reimbursement. We regret hiring Ed Saki of A1 Interiors & Exteriors Home Improvements and at the end of day the bottom line is his extended warranty means nothing.

Ed was willing to come out in the cold winter days and do the installation that other contractors won't do it. He charge me a fair price and didn't ask me extra for the conditions.
Description of Work
Installed a &5" PCV pipe along the building concrete wall on the newly paved driveway and connect 3-4 roof downspouts to drain all the rain water out at the curb.

The price semed in line for what I thought this project should cost. The roofing went well. However, Ed screwed me at the end by saying the cost of shingles was not quoted because I told him I had some shingles that may be useable. He did a very bad job at coating my yankee gutters and flat roofs. He left an empty can of coating in my back yard when he picked up his tools. He also came back and took some of my shingles and wood after the job was done to use for another customer. Do not use this company for anything. He did not listen to my questions and he never returned phone calls. Again, this man is not reliable or responsible to have any work done!!!!

I got a quote from him after I met him at my place. When he called and said he didn't want to work when I was having my kitchen cabinets replaced by another contractor. I told him that they wouldn't be working until after he did his job. We scheduled a meeting to do paperwork and he never showed up OR called. I have called him twice with no return calls. N

I reached out to A1 and after a few days, I received a call back. We set up a time for him to come out on Saturday of that week and he called around 4pm and said he couldn't make it. We rescheduled for Sunday but he never showed or contacted me. I haven't heard from him since. I am disappointed at the lack of professionalism and responsiveness.

I had niagra falls coming through my window as a result of heavy rain on july 1st. the water was coming through so quickly that I was bailing the water out of the buckets I placed under the window as fast as the water was coming through. I called A1 and my call was returned the same day. The next day Ed had come around to look at the situation. Due to the 4th of july weekend and the fact that I was away the weekend plus the fact that it would not stop raining The work was started and completed on July 12. The work they performed made my basement high and dry . The water from the downspout runs away from the house.The fact the window is now tight and sealed has significantly improved the humidity level in my basement. I was very impressed with the quality of the frame installed around the window . I will definitely use him again. Ed is very polite and honet

I thought I had a problem with a leaking toilet on the ground floor, but I concluded after having removed basement ceiling that I had a bigger problem. I was just not sure exactly what. Called A-1 Interior & Exterior and Ed came out and upon inspection observed that my relative new exterior door (Pela installed by a contractor employed one of our nation's largest home improvement chains) was not installed correctly causing water to enter. Damages proved substantial including rot and carpenter ants in joists, plate and studs. Ed and his assistant started work Saturday, worked some hours Sunday (whilst raining), Monday and Tuesday non-stop during day time hours, establishing extent of damages (and validating other work performed by the same installer - upon my request) and conducting thorough and professional repairs which involved jacking up house. Job site was left organized and swept each day. I was very impressed by the knowledge, work discipline, fairness in pricing, punctuality of A-1's services. I feel I got very good value for my money. That is a high threshold considering the repairs should have been necessary had the door been installed correctly to begin with. The experience has given me courage to get other projects done that I had deemed likely too expensive and/or intrusive. A-! Interior & Exterior will likely be doing them.

Description of Work
Ed has done a lot of work for me. The most major was to re furbish a large area of my home that had rot and severe water damage. He took it step by step doing an incredible job. He actually worked 21 days with out a break to complete the work for me because it affected several of the bedrooms. His kindness and understanding for what I was going through as a home owner made it easier for me to get through the ordeal. His prices were fair and he discussed the expenses as he realized the extent of the work that was necessary. Much of it was hidden behind the siding of the house. He was very knowledgeable about his work and very honest. I was comfortable with him being in my home when I was not there. I actually believe he saved the entire side of my house from collapsing. Ed has also done plumbing work ,painting, cleaning gutters and some handyman jobs for me. He is very neat and organized.
