Brian is warm, professional, and we would definitely hire him again for handyman and home repair needs. His work is high quality, and he communicated with us clearly about the progress of the projects. Brian spotted a couple other small areas in our kitchen from an unrelated stalled project (unfinished corners between drywall sections; a sealed-off electrical outlet box), and offered to complete those for us, which was really helpful and generous. He's also great with dogs. :) As a heads up, Brian is in high demand and so there was a long wait-time between signing his quote and when he was able to schedule us in. But, his work is worth the wait. Strongly recommend.

EXCELLENT!! Brian not only was professional, but started and finished the job faster than I thought it would take and he did it all on his own, without a helper. And it was done perfectly. Anyone who needs a contractor should hire Brian, I know we will again!

Brian did a great job on remodeling my mothers home. We had her home outfitted so she could live on the main floor. I live out of state and he made the process so easy for us. He had good recommendations for products. Installed main floor laundry, remolded a gutted bathroom, made it handicap accessible, installed new kitchen countertops and doors, updated the fuse box and sooooo much more. He and his team are very clean and neat and were very considerate of my elderly mother. They called her mom and she loved that. I would definitely hire Brian and his team again

Brian was great. He arrived when he said, did a great job with the work explaining as he went along about any issues that came up, and cleaned up afterwards. I was very happy that he took the old sink and vanity away so that I didn’t have to deal with getting rid of it myself. I’m very pleased with his work and will hire him again.
Response from Affordable Solutions by Brian

"Thank you so much. I know we had to take a little more time than anticipated but I’d rather get it right than have an issue down the road. Thank you again and look forward to helping you out in future."

The work was excellent! Brian was efficient, competent and pleasant. He did a great job! The only drawback was that it took a long time to get him to come but I think that's because he's working alone.

Brian was very helpful and extremely professional. He even was courteous enough to move a very heavy cement planter that I could not and had not asked him to, he just saw it was in the way and moved it like a gentleman. I would absolutely rehire and recommend him. His assistant keeping track texting with me was very helpful and courteous as well.

Excellent work! I needed a new mailbox and post installed after just purchasing my home. Affordable Solutions by Brian was very accommodating to scheduling. They even offered to come a day earlier once I received the new mailbox. They were polite and professional and did excellent work. I would highly recommend Affordable Solutions by Brian, as I know they’ll be my first call for future projects!

Brian did a great job. I had a window leaking inside the house. No amount of self repair was able to fix it. Brian figured out that the real cause wasn't this window, but the window above it. He pulled off the siding and you could see the water stains all the way down to the first floor window where I was seeing the leak. He was able to get it all taken apart and repaired in a day. Very prompt and accommodating. Absolutely would hire again.

Brian and Mike did a great job! They replaced one of the broken steps that go down to my basement. They also secured the existing steps to the stringers and installed an additional support underneath the treads.

"Dear member we called you twice and you never answered or called back. We need to be the ones rating clients. As of recent you as many others who have called and either schedule and then not be there as they forget and don’t keep track of appointments as they are enjoying this pandemic vacation or they call and get side tracked and don’t respond. Either way it is a disgrace you all can give us bad reviews when we do are part. I will not allow any one in our company to harass or continually call someone as I don’t want a salesman doing it to me. If you seriously wanted work done it’s up to you to return our call once we’ve called you. Thank you and hope you have better luck in future"

A great decision to use the company. Always returned my calls and emails. If he said he was going to call or email, either himself or someone from the company did. He was on time every morning. His work ethic and the work performed was excellent and he went above and beyond. I would use him again and plan on doing so in the future for other home repairs and projects.

It did not go. I tried several times to make telephone contact. It seems that calls to Angie's List contractors initially receive a brief recorded message from Angie's List prior to being connected to the number dialed. Each time I called, the line went dead after the recorded message. I gave up.
Response from Affordable Solutions by Brian

"I’m sorry you had problems with the connection with Angie’s list transferring you. However my direct number is on the profile and summer had left you a message by phone that you never replied to on the 12th I believe as you left a message through the app. Once again I feel an F is unjustified and unfair as you really can not blame us for an issue we have no control over or a lack in you responding to our attempt to contact you."

The work was done quickly and professionally. Brian clearly explained everything he was doing and asked good questions so he didn’t have to take any unnecessary time or do any unnecessary work. Cost was very reasonable. Will gladly hire again!

Brain did a great job. He was very responsive, did the project a lot sooner than I expected at a reasonable cost - I couldn’t be happier with the work he did and would/will absolutely hire him again in the future. A+

Showed up but never got an estimate . He actually gave me a number and I called them and I did a contact . He left my house saying he would email me an estimate but never received anything
Response from Affordable Solutions by Brian

"Member, I would not waste time on a Saturday not to give you an estimate! I sent you an estimate, our office contacted you and besides being well for a lack of better words very sarcastic, when saying you did not receive it and if our quote was any different than the last guy not to even bother sending it as Home Depot gave you such a better quote. However I did resend it and you never got back to us. So all in all in was sent twice, supposedly you didn’t get it I guess either time, and our numbers were within 50 $ on each job of the other contractors. I assumed you didn’t want us and I didn’t bother calling you on a third time"

Brian, came and did a inspection. He explained everything that could possibly be the problem. Gave me a quote the next morning and scheduled to do work. Brian showed up on time and work all day. Brian explained everything as he worked to fixed the electrical problem. He was very affordable and very professional. I would highly recommend Brian and his team to do any work you may need done.
