About us

I may be new to Angie's List, however I am not new to the construction industry. As a former GC, I have contracted with CDOT, RTD, City Municipalities and Commercial and Residential Properties. With over thirty years of experience in the construction industry and with superior skills in the renovation and restoration industry, I offer elegant design-build services at a reasonable price. I am not interested in large projects. Renovation, restoration, light construction is now what I offer with excellent references and an unlimited variety of photographs to showcase my meticulous craftsmanship. Thank you

Description of Work: He was very punctual in setting up an estimate; however the estimate for work to either flip the orientation of a door or help recess a washing machine, no more than an hour of work in either instance, was between $400 - $600, on top of the $100 I had purchased from Angie's list. This was completely unprofessional gouging. I would not recommend this individual to anyone.

Description of Work: I asked to for a handyman to tack up some insulation and put new insulation in a four foot crawl space. The handyman said he did not do this type of work and had a bad back. I will not be contracting with this service since this is typical work a handyman would do and there was a refusal to do this type of work.

Description of Work: We needed some work done on the trim around a 2nd floor window - contractor said it was too high and he wouldn't do it. Refunded our money, but it was disappointing that a handyman wouldn't do that work. Had to hire someone else.

Description of Work: Just called ACJ Construction per the Angieslist Deal for service to repair a patio screen that my dog chewed. ONE screen. He said he'd take it into the shop and return it in a week. When I asked why he couldn't repair it at my house he told me to call someone else. An out of body experience. And pretty funny.

Needed ceiling patched and sanded as well as canned light holes fixed to ready for painting. He ended up fixing all the ceiling areas that had cracks. He was very neat and it was a messy project. I am so glad to have met Al and will be calling him again when he is needed. |

This AM Saturday we had to call the police to get this man and his brother out of our home. When we confronted him with the poor quality of his work he became irate and accused us of lying. My husband agreed to pay him half of the remaining fee just to get him out of our home without things coming to blows. DO NOT HIRE THIS MAN!!!
Description of Work: Al Combs was contracted to frame basement laundry room, bath, and storage room. We finally agreed that we would buy the materials, which we did. He started work Thursday and also worked Friday. He did build 4 of the 7 walls called for. All the corners were wrong - you could not attached drywall to these corners. The final straw was that he built the 4th wall 13.5 to 12.5 inches from the concrete, over the top of a window and then told us that we had agreed to have the wall in this odd position.

Al let me know my options. He could provide a quick temporary fix for the price of the coupon I purchased, but told me it would not last, as he felt the toilet would continue to move in time. He explained what he could do for a more permanent solution which would entail removing the toilet and some tiles so that he could get under the pipe. I took the quick fix, but will call him back when and if the toilet moves again. Al was very courteous, left the area very clean, and did a nice job even it it does not last forever.
Description of Work: I had a toilet in the basement that was not staying tightened to the floor. My husbands attempts at fixing did not work. Al came in and assessed the situation. The problem was my basement bathroom floor had become uneven and there the toilet would not stay fixed in place.

Purchased this deal of 9/9/2013. He did e-mail me back with a number to call. Talked to him and wanted me to e-mail the list of repairs I needed completed. Never heard from him three to four days passed. Called again -- e-mail me a list -- already did -- oh system down - oh there it is - foubd it! We set up an appointment -- canceled due to water leak somewhere else -- fine that happens. Will call to reschedule -- no phone call -- called again set up appointment - it is now the 24th -yes a lot of time has passed, said he could do work today at 7:00 am. 6:00 am left message family emergency have to te-schedule! But 99 percent sure can do tomorrow - sorry at this point I want 100 percent. Will call me at noon -- now 4:00 pm - forget I hired someone else and they were at my house within two hours! It's not only that I am disappointed in Al -- if your to busy just tells us - don't dangle us for 2 weeks -- this job was very very important - house under contract and general inspection scheduled for September 27th. Oh, and very disappoints in Angie's list -- everyone bragged how good they are and how everyone is checked out for there reputation -- first time used and will be requesting a refund from them too,

Al did a great job. It's hard to find someone that will do odd jobs for you on short notice for a fair price, but he did! He was here when he said he would be, did what he said he was going to do, and asked along the way if there was anything else that needed to be done for me to be satisfied with his work. He does like to chat, so the work maybe could have been done sooner had we not been chatting as much, but that's a small price to pay for honest work being done. He was able to start for us very quickly, and that helped out a lot. He was great, and I would be happy to use him again.
Description of Work: Fixed patio door latch that would not close properly. Fixed 2 exterior lights that didn't work because they were incorrectly installed/wired. Retextured finished basement ceiling and painted basement ceiling. Painted walls going down to finished basement. Fixed garage door hardware so that garage door would close properly.

PROVIDERS: IF YOU'RE TOO BUSY FOR NEW CLIENTS, THEN THE PROFESSIONAL THING IS TO TELL THEM THAT UP FRONT. Don't lie to new clients and tell them you'll be there at a certain time if you can't or won't. I lost a whole day and probably an hour in total on the phone trying to get Al out here and I resent that. I only have one day a week off for my errands and housework and I lost it all waiting on someone who won't show when he promises.
Description of Work: According to my cell phone I made 7 phone calls to this provider. The first three were dropped by his cell phone provider. He called back and asked for a list of work, which I sent him by email. He never responded. Then I called again on the following Monday, and he made arrangements to meet me at 11 am for an estimate. Then he moved it to 12. Then he promised it would be no later than 1, that he was 45 miles away. At 2 pm, with my day shot, I called him and told him to bag this; I've lost my whole day. Left a message since he didn't answer the phone.

Perhaps the better question is what is Al NOT able to fix. He was punctual, knowledgeable and had the enviable quality of not making me feel inept (as a single woman) because I could not fix this stuff. I will definitely use his services again, and I think the $100.00 for 3 hours of services was a fantastic deal!
Description of Work: Repaired a mailbox which was torn from the post, repaired a treadmill which lost the "inclination" to incline and got my laptop to work on the wireless network.

It went smoothly --- professionally done. We will be using Al to add a bathroom to the home. He has a quote which is reasonable that took into account everything that had to do with the expansion of the powder rooom into a full bathroom ---- EVERYTHING! I'd use him again in a heartbeat.
Description of Work: Took out water heater and replaced it with new unit. Reworked plumbing as it was a mess. Made the space more accessible.
