They bent over backwards to accommodate our schedule. Our schedule was complicated as we had some plumbing work that had to be done (by us). We had some delays caused by our work problems. Alex greeted our "glitches" positively and cheerfully. For example, we needed the Master Bath completed before beginning the apartment bath as we needed the shower in the apartment during construction.
This has been the easiest and most pleasurable experience we have ever had with a contractor. We will definitely use them again for another bathroom remodel we have planned.
It was such a great experience, my wife wants to adopt Alex!

Care was taken to minimize the time without a working sink as well as saving the original backsplash. The crew did a great job cleaning up from the demolition phase as well.
Very happy with the finished product and the responsiveness from Alex and ASD. We had a slight issue with our stove fitting back into position and Alex responded very quickly and took care of the problem for us.

When the Cosmos slabs came in, they were scratched, and Alex let us know that in his opinion they were unacceptable. Since there were no more of the Cosmos available, Alex provided us with the Ceasarstone with no additional cost. He even went and picked up the new slabs and only put us behind the initial installation schedule by about a day. I am very thankful for how ASD resolved this hiccup. I could imagine another company really leaving the client out to dry in a situation like this.
The install job went well and the quality is great. There is a seam by the sink that is practically invisible.
My only minor gripe with ASD was that their guys left a bit of wet sanding mess behind after the job. Not a major mess but there was some gunk to clean up on the inside of a couple of the cabinets.
Overall, a great job. I'd be happy to use ASD again.

We thought that living in the house while the work was being done would be inconvenient, but it was a lot less disruptive to our routine than expected. The dust was kept to a minimum. The crew kept the doors closed while they worked on our bathrooms and put up plastic screens to contain the dust in the kitchen. The screens were pulled back at the end of each day which allowed us to use our kitchen appliances in the evenings and at breakfast. The floors were lined with heavy duty paper to prevent damage to our hardwood floors.
We ended up putting in a new tub, and Alex recommended equally knowledgeable professionals for the electrical work and plumbing. He practically took on the role of a project manager with all of the scheduling involved. His crew, Joseph and Andrey, were also extremely professional, hard-working and detail-oriented. In the end, we have a beautifully updated kitchen and two bathrooms with stunning backsplash and floor tiles (which I would never have noticed in the tile showroom if Alex hadn't pointed them out to me). The granite island in the kitchen turned out to be the centerpiece we had originally envisioned. The leftover granite was then texturized to look like natural stone for the fireplace. We would highly recommend Alex and his team.

Alex was very accommodating. He took numerous calls/emails from me to answer questions even before I made the decision to hire him. He's very friendly and seems to be very straightforward and honest.
We had a tight granite budget and found a 5* granite on clearance at Oregon Tile and Marble. It was discounted to a 1* price point. When I questioned them (OTM) why, I was told they only had 4 slabs left, were not getting any more, and needed space for new inventory. We thought it was beautiful, unusual, and would look great with our existing cabinets. The only other granites in our budget were the ones that are very commonplace. I called Alex from the showroom, told him the name of the stone and asked for a quote. He called OTM for pricing and called right back with a price. We put all 4 slabs on hold pending his inspection. We agreed to hire him and arranged to meet the next day @ OTM so he could inspect the slabs and choose the best ones for the job. (I sent him the layout & dimensions prior)
He arrived on time, and seemed well respected by the OTM crew. After an hour or so of debating, we picked the 2 best slabs. As I was getting ready to sign the contract and pay the deposit, He told me that he had recently worked with this granite for the first time and it was very difficult to work with, crumbly and hard to fabricate. He suggested it was probably why it was reduced in price. (I felt a little deceived by Oregon Tile and Marble at this point) He suggested not doing an ogee edge on the island as I previously requested. He had done that edge on the previous job and had to do a lot of patch work. I was disappointed but agreed, and he changed the wording on the contract but not the price. When I asked why the price didn't go down, he explained it was due to the degree of difficulty to fabricate this granite. I would have preferred to have known this upfront when I originally asked for a quote, but since it was an unusual granite, I can see where he may have not have realized it was "that stone" until he saw it.
Over the next few days the disappointment over the island edge was really getting to me, so I emailed Alex to confirm if he was refusing to do the edge, or merely suggesting I don't. He told me that if it was what I really wanted it, he would do it. He did warn me again that he may have to use filler if it crumbled. I agreed. He also up'd the cost due to the extra time it would take him to work on the edging. Even though it was hard to swallow, I understood.
They removed the existing counters a day or two before installation of the new ones, his crew was great, they put paper down to protect the flooring, and plastic around the work site to prevent all the dust etc from migrating onto my furniture.
On installation day, they arrived several hours later than expected. I found out later that an edge of the island broke as they were loading it onto the truck and they were trying to fix it. (Another piece broke as they were installing it) It was high stress for me as well as for Alex. They made the repairs to the island so they look like natural fissures in the stone to anyone that doesn't know what happened, they did an excellent job with that. I don't blame Alex or his team, it is the nature of the stone we picked. Alex offered to come back to fix any subsequent chipping that may occur but it's been about 6 months and so far we haven't had any. The granite is beautiful and everyone that looks at it, loves it.and not one person has seen it before. It still makes me smile, and I am thrilled I went with the ogee edge on the island after all, It really looks amazing. I don't stress over any small chips that I might get now because I believe Alex will be true to his word and do any repairs needed. Afterwords, Alex told me he will never work with that granite again, it was that difficult to work with, but he did a beautiful job!
I plan on using Alex when I finally choose a backsplash. He even offered to meet us at the tile stores to help us choose something that will work with our stone! Don't hesitate to use him. He's great!
