Did a great job! However I paid him before the work was completed. When I expected the finished job there was a problem area that needed to be fixed. I called and he said he would look at it but he was already on another job. The owner did not inspect the work of his contractor to make sure it was finished correctly. The next day we had a bigger hole and called again. The 3rd day I called the owner and he said the man would come repair it but by now we had a very large hole and squirrels back in the attic. He that the repair man said that wood was rotted and needed replacing. He was supposed to have repaired all rotted wood in the original job. If he need to do more work, he should have given us a new bid and finished the job not left it unfinished. He should never have moved on to the next job until ours was completed and done correctly.
Description of Work: replaced rotted soffit and fascia wood

Mr. Ahring was professional and personal, informing me how some minor things can be done by myself if I prefer, but offering to be my guide by phone if I need help or to do them himself. He had subcontractors do the outside work. In repairing the dry rot around an outside door, a facing piece broke. They replaced it. Since it had to set (the primer paint), I told them I'd paint the color later. The entire work, since it was at 2 different addresses, and the weather was fairly uncooperative, spanned a 3-4-day period. However, none of it was emergency, and the workers weren't disturbing. Overall, it probably would not have been easy to quote, and I only got a verbal estimate. At the end, I was given the 5% Angie's List discount, and believe the price was fair for labor and materials, (excluding the paint, which I purchased ahead of time). I'd give them an A and will use them in the future.
Description of Work: Installed door knobs, modified kitchen cabinetry, repaired and painted sofit damage, and minor dry rot damage to outside of my house. Repaired storm door hinge, installed quarter round in kitchen and two baths, installed handle in shower, installed/repaired towel rack in bathroom in rental house.

Steve was very professional and did a wonderful job. I would hire him again and would recommend him to friends.
Description of Work: Steve began restoring wainscoating beneath a kitchenette bay window but found mold. We had the mold removed/treated by another firm and Steve then returned to replace sills, wainscoating,chair molding, base and quarter round. He also shaved a portion of a large fence gate that was sticking badly due to warping in its foundation post. Steve was very professional and did a wonderful job.

The experience of having a stranger in your home is always nerve racking. Steve was very professional and showed up on time each day ready to work. He had the shower stripped, the floor removed and the shower pan completed in just a couple of days. Being that he obviously prides himself on his work, he was very thorough in his renovations. It only took another couple of days to do the shower pan, tiles in the shower and flooring. I would highly recomment him to anyone needing any kind of home improvements. Overall, I was extremely happy with the finished product.
Description of Work: We recently had our master bath renovated. After a leaky pipe did it"s damage, the floor buckled and the tile was falling off the walls. It was a very difficult job due to the fact that our house was built in 1974 and the tile was set in concrete. My husband originally tried to remove the tile and had a horrible time with it, in fact, he was only able to remove about 2 feet of it after working 4 hours. Steve came into the picture (punctual as always) and had the tile gone in the entire shower in just a couple of hours. His work was pristine and he is obviously a perfectionist which I think is very important when it comes to renovations. I would recommend him to anyone and I actually have already. I would not hesitate to use his services for anything that may come up in the future.

How a craftsman approaches his job and the manner in which he communicates with his customers are as important as the quality of his actual wood-working, in my experience. I was pleased with all aspects of Steve's work, from our initial conversation through completion. He did a good job of sharing his thinking with me throughout the work and I felt like we had good communication throughout. I would recommend A-1 Home Repair for a wide variety of work in the general handyman/carpenter area.
Description of Work: I had Steve repair a gate on my back fence that had sagged away from the post. I also had him replace a bathroom fixture that had been pulled away from a sheet rock wall.

My husband called this company on July 11, 2011. Since no one answered, he left a message for them to call us about replacing our roof. This is July 19th and we have had no response from this company. Not a very good way to handle your business.
Description of Work: No Services were peformed because this company never answered our call.

His name is Steve Ahring. He was excellent and really good. He is a friend of a friend and he does a lot of stuff. He mainly does carpentry but he did my roofing for me. When I had the roof put on the company did not do a very good job and we had a storm so I don't know if some of it was storm damage, but it turned out that I had termites so it was probably a combination of all those things. He did find the termites for me and I called the termite company and got them to take care of it and he redid the whole thing and did a really good job. He gave me a fair deal money wise. I would recommend him. He is good and knows what he is doing. He is a nice guy. I would definitely use him in the future.
Description of Work: I used A-1 Home Repair for roofing.
