My time was limited trying to get this done during school break with a scheduled surgery as well. I had checked out three other contractors, and although Alex's bid was a bit higher, I felt immediately comfortable with him and decided that was worth a little more on the price. In the end, he stayed close to the bid, adding only very reasonable charges for work not in the initial contract. Alex was as flexible as he could be to accommodate our schedule and still keep his commitments to other clients, which we respected. We really appreciated his reliability. He was always available when we called with questions. Rob and Jess showed up every day on time and did what they could to minimize the inevitable mess and chaos, clearing up daily. They worked hard to make the vision a reality, accommodating changes as we went along without complaint. Even when we went over schedule and nearly cut into his wedding, Rob stayed late to make sure the tiling work was done right to his high standards. Every minor detail we noticed was fixed, including some we didn't even notice. The kitchen is now fabulous, and we plan to spend as much time as possible in there.

We had a great experience! Alex and his crew were always punctual and very efficient. They communicated well with us and gave us some professional guidance when we needed it. They kept the mess in our garage and covered our floors & bedroom furniture with dropcloths. At the end of everyday, they vacuumed up the dust and hauled our junk away. We have a baby, so unfortunately there were times when they had to "keep it down" when he napped, which I'm sure was difficult for them. This was also a new type of shower creation for them, and they did a fantastic job!

Alex was great to work with, came when scheduled and the work progressed well. Had a slight delay waiting for the counter top and sink. Everything was done well and they were able to work around some fitting problems with the cabinets. The only problem that I had was with the painting of the molding around the doorways, they used a roller to paint the woodwork, it turned out very rough, I told them I wasn't happy with it and they sanded off the latex enamel. I then said I would paint the woodwork. This required quite a lot more of hand sanding by me to get it smooth enough to paint properly. Alex was very responsive to any problems that occurred after they finished, had a couple of electrical problems and he had someone come out immediately. The workmen were pleasant and cleaned up each day.

We're very happy with the work that Alex and his crew have done. The limitations of the space presented a number tricky issues, but Alex was involved from the start and seemed genuinely enthused in presenting us all the possible options. He even came to the store to help pick out cabinets. He and his crew started when he said he would and finished very close to his initial estimate. Rob and Jess were great to work with. Both were professional, neat, courteous and had a great attention to detail. We're very happy with the work and would recommend them.

The process was great from the beginning and Alex was very detail oriented.

We really enjoyed working with Alex and his crew. Alex was very responsive before and during our project. We asked for his advice a few times when we selected material/hardware and he was always very patient and helpful. His crew members, Jesse and Rob, were professional and hard-working. They were respectful, courteous, and always cleaned up well at the end of the day. They were pleasant to be around with and didn't feel like stranger contractors. They felt like friends helping out. They were also accommodating to our scheduling and change request. The entire project lasted about 2 weeks. We love our finished bathroom and kitchen! We'd highly recommend Alex's company and hire them again when future needs arise.

Alex was very helpful. He helped me work within my budget, even offering advice on how to save money. He went with me to pick out cabinets (Ikea) and made sure I got everything I needed. He or his crew let me know exactly was the daily plan was. When my finance took longer than anticipated he worked with us through it instead of putting us on the back burner. His workers Rob and Jess deserve additional praise. They were great. Very clean and respectful. Never had to worry about anything.

The experience was great. Alex and Rob were always very timely and professional. Their attention to detail was appreciated. I also appreciated the balance they create between asking our opinions on things and making easy decisions themselves without the need for constant supervision. We had a brand new baby in the house at the time of the remodel and I felt very comfortable giving them some control and letting them make some of the smaller decisions. We are so happy with the results. The shower now functions properly and looks better than before. And Rob's tiling work was excellent. I love the advice they gave on paint color and tile color too. We would definitely use their services again for bathrooms, kitchens, anything.

This could not have been a more pleasant experience. Alex was one of several contractors who I talked to about this job and he was definitely the one with whom I felt most comfortable with and who I thought would do the best job. As it turned out, his bid was also slightly lower than most of the other bids (and about 2/3 of the highest bid). Even before the project started, Alex made time to come over a couple of times to talk to me about the project and assist me in with tile patterns, etc. His crew was just the best: Rob, who was the one who was here every day doing the demolition and installation of the floor/wall tile, tub, vanity, etc., John the electrician and Khoi the plumber (oh, and I guess there was a dry wall guy but I never met him). Each of them was intelligent, respectful, hard working, prompt, pleasant and funny. My house was put together in a quirky manner so there were both electrical and plumbing 'surprises' that came up - these were handled with good humor and reasonable solutions. Finally, and this was of paramount importance to me, they were completely responsible and affectionate to my animals. I have three very good dogs, one crazy dog and a cat and I never once worried about them getting out or stepped on or disregarded in any way.

He was very prompt and courteous. I liked him, but I ended up not using him because he was to far away.

The job went very well. Alex & Rob were excellent to work with, reliable and always on time. There was one small plumbing problem which they took care of right away and which had nothing to do with the the work they had done.

Alex and Rob Felkel, Alex's assistant found that the tiling that had been done by a previous contractor was improperly sealed and there was extensive water damage from leaking where there should have been sufficient caulking and thorough grouting. They cleaned up the damage by removing and replacing the backing for the wall tiles, removing the tub, toilet, the water damaged plywood underfloor, and the mildewed drywall next to the shower as well as mildewed drywall on one area of an adjoining closet. The floor tile was no longer produced so Rob worked out a solution for an attractive transition between the bathroom floor tile and the tile in the hallway. New tile was put in for the shower walls and the floor. The tub, toilet and shower door were reinstalled, new drywall replaced damaged drywall and Rob painted the entire bathroom and repaired some flaking around the skylight window. A new exhaust fan was installed as well which should help reduce paint flaking around the skylight from steam from shower. We also used the opportunity to have a new shower head on a sliding rod installed. Rob and Khoi, the plumber, made it out to the house even though the big snow storm had virtually shut down most traffic and Rob did a great job with everything with his usual care with finish. Just before the guest bath work was done our shower doors for the master bath finally arrived and Rob installed them. The master bath was complete! My husband and I are exceedingly pleased with both our bathroom remodels. On the day he came out to inspect the nearly completed second bathroom Alex even brought us a dozen eggs his own chickens produced. They had beautiful delicate colored shells which we don't see with commercial eggs and were very good. This experience was as painless as remodeling gets -- even over the Thanksgiving/Christmas holidays with big record-breaking snowstorm thrown in.

I highly recommend Alex and his team. He was very professional and responsive to our needs and always had a positive can-do attitude. Noteworthy was his excellent attention to detail. Alex is an excellent communicator and consistently returned calls promptly. He and his team were very pleasant to work with and we are very pleased with their work.

I was impressed with Alex the first time I met him. He was friendly but business-like and went over our needs and wishes. I really did not believe we would end up with such a lovely remodeled bathroom for the estimated cost. I was pleasantly surprised. Alex is an incredibly honest person and tries very hard to do the job you want, for a reasonable cost. This was important to us as our retirement portfolio was dropping in value like a rock. Every person who came out to work on the project, there were three who I met: Alex, Rob and the plumber, was a delight to work with. They were all very pleasant but did not waste time. They worked very hard, long days to get the job done in a timely manner. They were there exactly when they said they would be and Alex or Rob called even if he would only be a half hour late. They went over every problem they ran into and with a 30 year old house, there were bound to be problems and they explained how they would fix it. They are incredibly thorough. Since leaks and the problems they cause are always a potential problem in a bathroom, they take extra care to make sure the new bathroom won't have those problems. They kept to the time schedule Alex had laid out in the beginning. The Thanksgiving holiday slowed things down a bit, but we moved back into the bathroom a couple of days ago: 2 1/2 weeks after the demolition. That new shower is wonderful! As is everything else. In the past, we have done several remodels including a kitchen remodel. This one went the smoothest of any we have had done. We had to wait a couple of months for Alex, but he was worth it hands down! He and Rob are currently repairing water damage that a previously less than careful shower remodel caused. Do plan on doing legwork yourself. This isn't the higher priced contractor who has a "design architect" to do all that for you. Actually, it wasn't bad. I have a hard time picking out a paint color using the teeny paint chips but I managed choosing tile, the shower receptor, spa unit, doors, etc. The salesman at George Morlan was a big help too and he didn't steer me wrong. I was a little nervous about choosing the lowest bid, but the other two bids, one from a company we had used before for several remodels, were ridiculously expensive. Just beyond reason. I hope that Alex made money. We certainly were able to stay within our budget because of Alex's efforts to keep the costs down. I think he does a good job with providing estimates that include the (likely) possibility that there will be surprises, such as the leak damage. We would use him again in a New York minute.

Alex and Rob did a very good job. Alex kept us informed on scheduling the work and they came as promised. Originally we had planned on replacing the vanity, sink, floor and toilet only, but not the bathtub. However, while tearing out the floor, Alex and Rob discovered dry rot in the floor around the bathtub and had to tear out the bathtub and tiles as well. That extended the 2 day job to a 7 day job. However, they kept working on our project until everything was finished, including working overtime, although they had other projects scheduled. They did not lose patience with us when we were frustrated when new problems kept popping up. They did everything thoroughly, at high standard and they didn't stop until we were completely satisfied.

Great.

We found Alex through Angie's List, and he lived up to his reputation. We had to wait to work with him, but the reviews and the interaction we had with him at the time of the estimate convinced us that it would be worth it. It was. Alex was a complete joy to work with. He's young, and still assembling a dependable team, but his knowledge, honesty, communication skills and determination to make things right should take him a long way, if there's any justice in the world. He has high standards, and the explicit knowledge of good construction practices as well as the basic know-how to back them up. There were a couple of mistakes, but we don't expect perfection, rather, what matters is how one handles mistakes, and Alex came through like a consummate professional. What a huge relief to meet a contractor who wasn't constantly trying to put one over on homeowners and trying to hide mistakes. He was upfront, articulate and basically a rock for us to turn to in this stressful time. I believe that he truly cared about a good outcome as much as we did. In the end, we were completely satisfied with his work and would gladly work with him again anytime. We wish him the success he definitely deserves.

I initially contacted Alex with plans to update one bathroom and replace a dated vanity in another bathroom. Although it seemed like a small job Alex returned my call promptly and gave me a detailed estimate. I also had some other potential projects that I discussed with Alex and he was very helpful in prioritize the work. I was very pleased with the first project (remodel powder room and laundry) and enjoyed working with Alex and his associate Rob. So I went forward with all of the other projects. In a little more than a month my home has gone from an outdated 80's relic that depressed me to a bright and beautiful showplace. The house is 36 years old but looks like new construction on the inside. Aside from the quality work,I greatly appreciated both Alex and Rob's wonderful communication skills. They kept me updated on the status of various elements of the remodeling, explained the various challenges in working on a thirty something home and patiently answered my endless questions. Some of the reasons I think Alex Freddi Construction is especially outstanding are: Both Alex and his associate Rob are absolutely meticulous about the quality of the work. The small but essential details were always attended to. The house truly looks like it's new construction. Alex has assembled an outstanding group of subcontractors that he keeps on schedule and on budget. Alex kept the job moving in spite of delays in some of the products ordered. There was constant progress in some aspect and if they were unable to work on one project they transitioned to something else. They worked around multiple subcontractors schedule to keep things moving. Alex gave me access to a number of contractor only suppliers, giving me more options for product choices and saving substantial amounts of money. Alex also worked with the suppliers to keep orders on track and to make sure what we received was actually what had been ordered. Alex understands the mess and inconvenience created during remodeling and was very helpful in mitigating both so I could stay in my home during the project even though everyone thought I was nuts to stay there. Alex was extremely helpful in making choices. I have never done any remodeling and was clueless about products, colors, lighting options etc. He actually went with me to choose hardwood flooring and carpeting plus helped pick appropriate paint colors. Alex is very flexible about working with homeowners. He said I could do as much or as little as I wanted and was very helpful with loaning tools and advice. Both Alex and Rob are very personable with outstanding communication skills. They never seemed annoyed with all my questions and concerns. I was kept up to date on all progress or potential delays in products or subs. They cleaned up every night before leaving. Alex and Rob are the kind of contractors you can trust with your home and I absolutely recommend them.

This company gave us a quote and when the project was finished the quote was the same. He came when scheduled and did the work on time. There were some finishing spots that I thought should have been included in the job and they came back and did the jobs. They found some things, wires, inside the wall that they moved and charged me a minimal charge to take care of them. The quote that they first quoted was based on nothing being in the wall.

Work Done: Tore out old bathtub and replaced with a new one. Redid the entire bathroom floors since it rotted in some areas. Replaced dry wall behind the shower since that rotted as well. Installed new cabinets. Installed new granite countertop with backsplash. Replaced drain, bathtub faucet. Installed new sink. Primed and installed new wall board. Alex Freddi Construction definitely comes highly recommended. I hope they get all the business they deserve. I LOVE my new bathroom and will use them for more projects in the future.

Alex took care of most of the demo of the two (40 sq. ft. each) bathrooms. This went quick and took around three days. Rob (Alex's) helped put down new plywood and moisture barrier over the sub floor and frame out the new wall for the enlarged shower. We then had to wait for the plumber to come and install the tub and shower pan so that the tile backer board could be installed on the walls and the floors. After the inspector was able to come out and check over the roughed in plumbing work the rest of the backerboard was installed. It was then about four days before the drywallers started to come out and fill in the sections of removed drywall. This took about three days from start to finish. I was then responsible for finishing the work (tiling, install toilet & vanity, and finish plumbing). Overall, things went well. Alex made sure that I was happy with all of the work and even let me borrow some of their equipment for doing the tiling. The only delay was waiting for the permit (not their fault). The quality of the work was good and I would call them again to get a bid for future work.

I thought they did a good job. They tried to do the best job they could in terms of completing it in a timely manner. I did have some problems with some of the boards after the installation. I called them and they were quick to come out and correct that, which I really appreciated. I also though they did a good job staining the deck. Overall they were easy to work with.

It was a great experience from beginning to end. Alex was always prompt and professional, and often went out of his way to help us complete the project. We wanted to do the demo and painting ourselves, and Alex was very accommodating and even lent us tools and materials. Our job was a bit tricky, as we wanted custom features like a curbless shower and a custom double vanity. But Alex and Rob worked hard and with great attention to detail to get the job done. We can't say enough good things about the result and the quality of work. What we really appreciated on top of all that was the professional and positive attitude that both Alex and Rob have. They are truly nice and friendly people, and we would hire them again in a second.
