We purchased a new refrigerator which was too tall for the kitchen space where it was supposed to go. The problem was a small kitchen cabinet attached to the ceiling that we needed reduced in height by about 1-inch. Considering the small amount of "extra" space (between the cabinet openings, the size of the doors and the trim there was not a lot of room to work with), they did an excellent job making the cabinet fit and to look good. I called them on December 31st (the day before New Year's) and they were at the house on January 2nd. This is the first time I have used Affordable Soutions by Brian and am impressed by their reliability and their workmanship. I will definitely be using them again.

Brian was excellent all around. He responded quickly and gave me an estimate without needing to come out to the house. He showed up on time, got the job done with no issues, and didn't make a mess. He made sure we were on the same page about where exactly I wanted the fan to go, and where to vent it out. He even helped solve a stripped-screw situation with the bathroom towel bar after finishing up with the fan. He did a great job with everything and the price was very reasonable. Would definitely use Brian in the future.
Response from Affordable Solutions by Brian

"Thank you so much it was a pleasure helping you out and I really look forward to helping you out again in future. As a side note thank you so much for following through on this review. So many times customers are happy with the work and yet they forget to put in reviews. Like I have said so many times people will tell everyone when they have a bad meal, yet hardly say anything about the good one. This goes true in our business, that’s why these reviews mean so much to all of us hear at affordable solutions."

I love that Brian was here for all of the repair work, helping to do the work and also supervising his supporting staff. Brian is very ethical and I trust him to treat my home as he would treat his own. Bonus- As he was leaving Brian helped me light my gas fireplace!!! I will hire him again this spring for some exterior painting. Fantastic small business!
Response from Affordable Solutions by Brian

Like you said that’s how you found us and that is how others will. Thank you again and look in your emails for next estimate. Thanks again."

Love the the work done. They were very reliable. Here every morning same time until the job was done when promised. The guys are hard working and very trustworthy. Communication was great which is important to me also. Will hire them again for next home improvement.
Response from Affordable Solutions by Brian

"Thank you so much. We really enjoyed working with you and your partner. It really is nice to see people get so enthused with the work we are doing. It is so nice to see the gratification of our customers as we do their jobs. Thank you so much again and look forward to working with you in the future. P.s. it is always great when a future or return customer does as you did, get an estimate 6 months out and schedule for a certain time frame."

Brian was very prompt providing an estimate, and was very upfront explaining it might be 2-3 months before his schedule would be open. We were pleased that his crew was able to perform the work earlier than expected due to a weather delay encountered on another project. Brian also recommended some corrective action we could take on our own that proved to be very effective (regrading soil level). Brian's crew treated our basement wall to kill existing mold, scraped the walls to remove old, loose parge, and applied new parge to resolve some puddling we were seeing along one wall. Unfortunately the new parge coat began peeling in some areas after about one month. Brian was extremely responsive when we reported the problem. The crew came back within a couple days and removed the loose parge and offered to reapply it. We elected instead to have the walls painted. The corrective work was done at no additional cost, and we are happy with the outcome. The crew also replaced an exterior storm door for $600. Brian and crew were extremely prompt and professional, and left the work site cleaner than when they arrived.

Brian Corsette and his crew at Affordable Solutions by Brian do high-quality work. They are dependable and conscientious, and Brian will listen to your needs and help make sure the job is done in a way that you will be happy with. He cares about his customers, and he is a consummate professional. He did renovation and repair work for my parents’ house and they — and I — were very pleased with the results. Hire this company!
Response from Affordable Solutions by Brian

"Thank you so much. Your parents were great people to work for and better people to associate with. They let us do our job, even made sure the guys had coffee if they wanted it. We are fortunate to have them as our new, long term customers. Every contractor dreams of having people like them to work for. Thank you thank you thank you."

Brian and his team were excellent. The job was done professionally and Brian was great at explaining what needed to be done. We did have to wait about 2 months to have the work performed because his schedule was so full but Brian was honest about that when he came out to do the initial free estimate. I would definitely recommend and use this company again

Very satisfied, did a great job.
Response from Affordable Solutions by Brian

"Thank you very much for the review. Though I’m not sure what or how I could of met your expectations punctually. From the day I looked at your job which I took time out on a Sunday to finishing it on the following Friday was 12 days. In that time frame I put together your estimate and you had to approve. Then its been raining almost everyday and part of your job is painting outside. I’m sorry if I did not get it done faster but i have no control of weather and you did wait til you were running out of time with the code enforcer. I squeezed you in, everyone else is 2-3 months out. Anyways i hope you and everyone that reads this realizes that they should not wait until the last minute to get things done and then be upset if us contractors cant oblige your time schedule."

Initially said he was booked through following month, but squeezed us in on weekend due to some urgency with the work we needed performed.(repair to hole in foundation block) Gave us a reasonable quote for the work to be done. Had work completed in 2 days as stated while we were out of town. Did a great job and made sure the area was cleaned after leaving site. Would use him again for other work.

This company never responded to my call or called me.
Response from Affordable Solutions by Brian

"Member yes you did call me 9:51 AM on 15 September I returned your call the very next morning I received no answer and I received no voicemail on your phone just continued ringing I had assumed Someone must of been on the phone as I never received an answering message. I truly expected someone to call me back but when they didn’t I thought you must of gotten someone else to do your job. I feel it’s very unfair of you to say I never called you back when I did and even more unfair of you to give me an app on the Internet without trying to reach out to me a second time. It would be just as unfair for me to go and tell all the contractors out there not to do work for you because you didn’t respond to me I apologize for any inconvenience"

Excellent! We couldn't have asked for a company with a better work ethic. Brian and his crew were very professional, friendly, and punctual. They took pride in the work they were doing and the area was left neat and clean when they were done each day. The shutters were not originally part of the job but when we inquired about having it done; Brian told us he would have no problem adding it on to the 2nd day if we were able to obtain the shutters in time. Brian and his men were a pleasure to work with and we would highly recommend them; We will also keep them in mind for any future work needed at our house since they do a variety of work. The deck and shutters look great! Thanks Brain!

It went fantastic, they first came to my house (on time and ready to work) and touched up my outside deck and replaced my deck stairs. I asked Brain if he would visit my daughter's deck by chance, to give an estimate and he was more than happy to. After giving my daughter a fair estimate, we decided to go ahead and trust Brian's expertise. That same day after touching up my deck, Brian and his crew tore up my daughter's deck and rebuilt her deck. They worked hard, they cleaned up and even placed deck furniture back on deck without me asking. They were honest and I 100% recommend them.
Response from Affordable Solutions by Brian

"Thank you so much. It was one of those days where we were able to fit both of you in. Usually we are so booked up we would not be able to do that but with a cancellation it just worked out for both of us. I am so happy you both liked the work. Thanks again Brian."

Brian was very responsive during a heatwave when we lost air conditioning upstairs. He explained the problem throughly, what it would take to correct, and was reasonably priced. He removed all refuse upon completion of the job, and followed up within 24 hours to address any further concerns we may have had. Brian was professional, thorough and clear in explaining the issues and was patient with our questions and responsive on a holiday to help address this situation. We highly recommend him for any household repairs you may have.

Great job. I am thrilled with the results. They did beautiful work, even having to build this project from scratch. This was not an easy job because, like many projects, unexpected issues turned up along the way. This crew was skilled, meticulous, resourceful, efficient, and managed the entire process start to finish in a professional, courteous, and high quality manner. Highly recommend.
