A-List Builders

I wanted to post an update to my review, but don't see a way, but felt I needed to share this. My mother-in-law had a loss in one of her rentals.. we ended up going with a different contractor because we weren't looking for artistry, etc.. huge mistake. I wish we would have gone back to A-1.. such a contrast and this other contractor had decent reviews and all , but our experience was night and day. We were spoiled by our excellent experience with A-1.

My wife and I recently bought a house and were looking to do an extensive remodel before we moved in, including all new flooring, interior paint, 3 bathrooms (including master down to studs), kitchen (down to studs), a new pantry, and refaced cabinets in laundry room and hallway. We researched 4 different contractors sourced through Home Advisors and ultimately settled on A-List. We ultimately went with them based on their professionalism, their detailed estimate, a weekly schedule, and their thoughtful POV on the changes we were considering.

Once the job kicked off, David was our project manager and we also dealt with Niv on occasion. David was exceptional in his communication and throughout the nearly 4-month project he always made himself available for any questions and concerns including going with us to pick out materials. When issues did arise (which they always do), David was quick to address them to our satisfaction. What we really appreciated was that while we had a good sense of what we wanted to do with the kitchen and the master bathroom, A-List brought in a designer that worked closely with us to visualize a full rendering of a final product that went a long way towards helping my wife and I make sure we were getting what we wanted and everyone was on the same page.

While the completion date was slightly delayed from the original communication, Ben stepped in immediately made it right which we were grateful for since we were still in the middle of COVID. There were minimal surprises during the job itself and ultimately the whole project came in on the budget they originally quoted us (outside of some minor changes we requested).

Now that we moved in and have had some time to experience our new home, my wife and I absolutely love the professional and competent work that A-List did. The full remodel turned out fabulous and we couldn't be happier with our new home.

We are demanding clients and A-List worked hard to earn our satisfaction, which they did. We would definitely work with A-List again and would recommend them to friends (which we have already done).

A-List has worked on several projects for me over the last few years. I originally hired A-List for a fairly large restoration project. The project involved wall replacement with framing and drywall, stucco, exterior and interior painting, foundation reinforcement, a new exterior gate, fence repair, brick and tile walkways. Ben was the only contractor I interviewed who recommended that an engineer inspect the foundation as part of the evaluation process. This was an insurance project and Megan cheerfully worked through the process with my insurance company. All of the on-site workers were a pleasure to work with. They arrived early, were professional, and kept the work-site clean and organized…even the city inspector commented positively about A-List’s knowledge and organization. A-List Builders did a great job and their follow-up was excellent. They have since worked on several other projects and they always did a great job.

Most of the time, when folks talk about General Contractors, it's all about the horror stories; poor workmanship, incomplete jobs, fraud. We had the complete opposite experience with A-List. They were honest, clean, skilled, easy to work with, and entirely trustworthy.

If something wasn't right, they'd often catch it before we did and there was no problem with getting the wrongs remedied right away.

I am completely happy with the work they did for us. We used them to do a rebuild after our home experienced a flood in our upstairs bathroom that completely messed up the kitchen below. David, who was our main contact, had excellent ideas and suggestions in terms of design. He was friendly, easy going, and a pleasure to deal with.

We also dealt with Ben and Sean, but David was our main person. I honestly have no complaints. We had a number of contractors come out and give us bids. Out of all of them, A-List felt the most up and up, and I was reassured by the positive feedback they received from other customers.

I would hire them again, should the need ever come up. I appreciate their guidance and help. They also interfaced well with our insurance adjusters.
