"Mose, was able to create the front panels for a new KitchenAid refrigerator. He also had to match the type of wood and stain to match the rest of the kitchen. The work was excellent. I would definitely hire again."
"Tim did a fantastic job with our kitchen. He worked with us through the process, coming up with solutions when we encountered unexpected challenges. His craftmanship is remarkable. Tim tore out our kitchen and drywall, installed new drywall and overhead lights, a new ceiling, installed new cabinets, and installed the tile backsplash. Everything looks better than we could have imagined! We will certainly hire him for any future projects. His estimated timeline was perfect and he started right when expected. Fantastic contractor!"
"AIS did a GREAT job on the project, finishing one half of my full basement. The work performed met all of my expectations and more. I'm very happy with the end result and would definitely hire AIS again should I have a need for another home improvement. Also, the AIS staff and all of the sub-contractors were always pleasant and easy to work with. I will highly recommend AIS to anyone whos asks."
"Very smooth install. Ed was nice, personable, and timely. He installed the solar lights efficiently and correctly. And they function perfectly. Fee was very reasonable as well. He’s agreed to install similar lights next weekend at our daughter’s home located about 10 minutes away. We’re in the market for a new handyman, so would not hesitate to contact Ed again. Thank you."
"Beautiful paint job on master suite! Jim & his crew were flexible, professional, courteous, & helpful - all of which contributed to a great experience!! Their ability to assist with some "handyman" jobs as well provided even more value."
