Don was able to order the door and hardware for me . Picked up the door and delivered to my home. Removed old door and installed new door which required new trim, new threshold,new hardware, and lastly sanded down and stained the door. The stain I chose was a little too light on the sample but Don was able to work with it applying several coats until the color was perfect!! I was concerned that the finish on the door was too shiny. He was able to purchase the final coating with a matte finish which was exactly what I was looking for. He was very attentive and has a great eye for detail. He will continue working until you are satisfied ! The door looks beautiful and adds so much to our home!! We have used Don for many renovations, new roof, new addition, renovation of bathroom and kitchen and basement. He also refinished our hard wood floors. Removed a chimney and installed huge floor to ceiling windows. All of his work is outstanding and I get many many compliments on his work. Extremely hard worker and very honest!

Don and his team were wonderful. Work and clean up was completed much faster than I thought it would be. All members of Don's team were professional and courteous and took care while inside my home as to not damage my floors or walls. When a window showed up with a crack in it, Don replaced it immediately rather than installing broken material. I will definitely look to Don for any future construction needs that arise. I would, and have already, recommend A Plus Construction to anyone.

Firstly, he is a super nice person. Very professional and not out to overcharge you. He did some work for my 82 year old mother and she was very happy. But she is home all day and he can come anytime as she is retired. For myself it was more difficult. After three weeks of telephone tag (beginning of Nov ) , we finally met to prepare a quote. Indicated I had Dec 18th & 19th off to do the work.He removed the ceiling fan at the initial estimate visit. (Nov 28th), called a few days later to quote, set a date to install it for Dec 5th after 6pm. Bad weather, no show, no call. I called him early morning Dec 12th, he came at 4:30 pm that night to install the fan motor as I was booked with appts that day. Made a date for Dec 18th to do some painting. Indicated he would text or call if it was a problem. No show, no text, no call. In my experience, he does not conduct phone business after 5pm or on the weekends. I left my initial message on a Friday afternoon, he left me a message on Monday morning at about 9am indicating he had time that day and could come out and look at what I needed. I left a voice message for him when I got home, and again he called a few days later, in the morning, even after I had indicated I worked and got home after 6 pm or had Fridays off. He seems to be well suited for the retirees, but not the working population. I would also add that I did not get a written estimate for the several items quoted. I do not know if a discount for being an Angie's list member was applied. I did not ask my mother if she got a written bill or a senior discount. I do not think she did.
Description of Work: Fixed the motor on the bathroom ceiling fan. Also needed some painting and a new bedroom ceiling fan. Handy-man type of work.

My deepest apologies, I am busy at times. The person in question did in fact receive an invoice for the work provided. I'm glad I could come to your home once to remove the fan and once to install the new one. if someone were to look into how much it costs to purchase a new motor for you fan unit they would see that the motor costs $75.00 I work very hard every day to provide every customer with the best service and most of my customers are not elderly and are very pleased with me. thank you

As so many other basements, ours is damp and has areas of mold and dry rot, as well as old insulation. There had been an undiscovered leak during past ownership, which had caused the beam underneath the toilet to rot. Don came up with a solution, which included: hydraulic lifting, debris removal, digging out the crawl space to make it deeper, running a dehumidifier for a week (or two!) and then encapsulating the crawl space. Being that our budget was tight and that we had many other projects to take care of, I asked for him to come up with something that would be less involved, which he refused "for my own health and safety". He started to refer to our house as "the trailer" which I definitely take offense to. These are houses that were constructed from scratch as homes for military in the 40's, not trailers. Anyway, Don has not been returning calls regarding the other jobs that we had verbally agreed on that his company would perform. I guess a "trailer" is not worth his time.
Description of Work: I called for quote to replace subfloor, and had a meeting with Don who told me that he could also take care of various other projects in our 850 sq. ft. Ranch home. I decided to have A Plus give me an estimate for the job. Don then send one of his employees who disconnected and removed the toilet and cut the wood floor open, exposing the low crawl space basement. It's been about a month, no return phone calls on messages I've left. And now we have this huge hole in the bathroom and no toilet connected. Thankfully we have found an actual professional to fix the unfinished business that A Plus and Don created and walked away from. Very unprofessional.

it is my experience that when a layperson has an idea of what a professional needs to do to get the job done right it sometimes is the wiser not to get involved. it cost me alone to cut out a 100% rotted portion of bathroom floor to go under the home and see what lay beneath. and I really wish I could be all things to all people but that is not possible

Broken tilt-in window, on a Saturday, called A Plus Construction and got an immediate call back. He tried to make a connection with me on Saturday but it was impossible with his schedule. Since I had maneuvered the window back in place temporarily, I told him to stop by on Monday if he had the chance. He did stop by after calling, checked the window, explained the cost of a new part or a whole new window. He was very helpful. I told him I would think about what I wanted to do. He was courteous, professional, and I would hire him in a minute if necessary.

The work went really well and the transformation to our home with the new siding and the new windows is unbelievable!!! Don and his crew were knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and always had our best interest. Don always said "I am only happy if you are happy." Our 1961 home has had a beautiful renovation done to it and we give Don and his crew our highest recommendation and plan to use then again soon for interior work.
Description of Work: Took out 6 huge picture windows and replaced them with new Anderson windows. Removed old shake shingle siding and put on new cedar impression siding to our home. Don and his crew did a remarkable job on removing the old windows and installing the new ones. Our property provided a difficult situation as far as getting the old windows out and the new ones installed. The house sits on the side of an embankment and therefore it would be nearly impossible to use a crane to install the windows. Don and his hard working crew were able to manually remove the old windows and install the new ones. I was truly amazed at this endeavor. In the process of installing the new windows Don uncovered a structural problem that had to be changed before we continued. His explanation of the situation and his plan to remedy were a big comfort to us as we were unsure if this could be fixed. Don assured us that it was not an issue and he went about fixing it right away without hesitation. The old shingles were taken off and the new cedar impressions were put on. My husband and I were amazed at the amount of work necessary to put on all the vinyl trim work. All of the trim had to be measured and custom fit. The workmanship was outstanding and Don is always there to make sure the work is done to his satisfaction.

Don and his crew did an outstanding job on removal of the old roof and installation on the new roof!! We would give them our highest recommendation!!!!!
Description of Work: A plus construction was one of three contractor's bidding for the contract of replacing an old roof. Don came out to our home to give us an estimate of the job. He was very professional and gave us an honest opinion as to what the cost would be to replace the old roof. Don and his crew arrived within the week to strip off the old shingles and put on the new ones. Don discovered we had an ant infestation when he pulled off the old shingles. He immediately got in touch with us to let us know what he had uncovered and that he would recommend an exterminator. He also found sections of the roof that were rotted and needed to be replaced. Don and his remarkable crew worked diligently until the new roof was completed. We were uncertain as to what type of new roof we wanted to put on our home and Don was able to help us with the choice and offer us ideas that he thought might make our decision easier. The new roof looks GREAT and the color choice we went with was perfect for the home. The entire roof project including removal of old roof, repairs and putting new roof on took four days. The team always left the work place spotless. We were extremely happy with the results and would hire Don and his crew again without any hesitation. Great experience and enjoyed having them work on our home.

Before the job started, we decided to handle the demolition of the original basement ceiling, in addition to purchasing the lights. Once that was finished, we called Don to schedule a start time. He showed up on time, at the agreed upon date. He also very clearly explained the days and time-frames that he would be completing the work. At the completion of each day's work, the basement was vacuumed and cleaned up. Throughout the project, Don and his team were punctual, friendly and courteous. The job itself posed a series of challenges, mostly due to the plumbing configuration in the ceiling. We're extremely pleased with the way Don and his team managed to frame around the piping, in addition to a clever design to level off an area around the stairway. At the completion of the job, Don took the time to walk us through each room, and how it was handled. The final product looks amazing, and we couldn't be happier with the way it turned out! We highly recommend A Plus Construction and plan on using them in them for future work at our house.
Description of Work: A Plus Construction LLC installed a drop-down ceiling in our basement. The job was rather complicated due to the size of the basement, and the way that the plumbing was configured.

Don was the perfect contractor from helping me with my ideas at the beginning of my hot tub/deck project to execution and completion of it. He is an all encompassing contractor - he did the carpentry and electrical himself . A good person to bounce ideas off of, Don helped me shape my vision without imposing his ideas on me. He did the work when he said he was going to do it, and he did a fine job. At the end, he cleaned up after himself every day ( He even filled in holes my dog made with the dirt that he dug up for the hot tub cement pad.) He collected his pay at the completion of the job - giving me a written invoice clearly delineating the work he had done and what I was paying for. Don does a very good job at a fair price. Moreover, he is kind and well-mannered, and an efficient worker. He and his coworker were a great model for my middle school children who were around the house all day. He was professional from the start - telling me when he could start and finish, calling a few days before the start date to confirm our appointment. He stayed within the estimate for the work . He worked well with the hot tub company - arranging his schedule around their delivery time, he made a special effort to come to my house on a late Friday afternoon, after another job he was doing to do the licensed electrician hook up once the hot tub was delivered, so that I could use the hot tub on the weekend. There was a bit of a glitch with the hot tub manufacturer's unusual hook up methods, but he called the company himself to troubleshoot a small glitch and made a second trip back to my house on Saturday to complete the job. He worked a full day each day as required. He treated his partner with respect and professionalism, and they always supported each other. They made a great team. I will be using Don from now on to do all my house renovations, repairs, electrical, plumbing and air conditioning needs. He does a great job for a fair price. He knows what he is doing and he has integrity.
Description of Work: Work done: Don removed one portion of my deck for a new hot tub and rebuilt the portion of the deck where the old hot tub had been. He poured a cement pad for the new hot tub to rest on. He did the electrical hookups as well as wooden deck work. He discussed decisions with me such as whether to use the old decking materials or buy new. (which would cost less? which would blend in best, how high off the ground and deck the tub should be...)

All in all the work went very well. As I like to do as much of the work myself as I can, I was very happy to hear that they were willing to do only the portions of the job that I requested.
Description of Work: Originally I had called A Plus Construction to correct the structure on a portion of my desk that I was laying new decking on. During the course of their work, they found out that the footers for the corners of the deck were not poured at all and that they were only resting on a few bricks and stones. They shifted the work over and fixed that issue along with correcting the original issue.
