High Praise. On a scale of 1-10 they are a 10. They have exceeded all expectations. Came out 3 times before the actual work began. They are very knowledgeable and professional. They are a joy to work with. they are very conscientious about keeping the dust down and cleaning up their work. They go that extra mile and I would recommend them to anybody and everybody. Very much into planning and details before the work begins.

Mr. Lance Smith, owner of Affordable Contracting did an excellent renovation on my entire kitchen. The work was done on time and the most impressive part was that Mr. Smith sat down on the first appointment and sketched out what I wanted and then with his ideas of how we could keep on budget by recycling the cabinets that were being removed and incorporate into the overall new design was just so considerate and the carpenter , and other workers performance just more than I imagined. Every time I met with Mr. Smith, he was on time and never rushed through any concern that I had. If I was near running over budget, he would consult with me and offer alternatives. The project was a pleasant experience overall and my kitchen exceeded my expectations. Above all - I just called this company from an add in the Douglasville magazine - no references or anything. That was a huge chance to take, but when I meet Mr. Smith and after our first meeting I trusted him and at the end of my renovation I can truly say that he runs an honest business and will bend over backwards to make certain you are pleased with his company's work. He has an excellent business and I am so happy that I found him. He kept to the budget and I was fortunate to have given his company a try. His standards and honesty are almost unheard of these days. My kitchen is a dream and I've not had him to return to redo or fix anything. Everything was done right the first time.

The work turned out good. I haven’t had any complaints. They did the job and it’s has lasted. The work was good and I like the door.

They were doing the work for Home Depot. Everything went wrong at first and they had to redo a lot of the work. They installed a shower kit and broke the shower pan twice, did not caulk correctly after installing the shower kit, did not plumb it properly and did not seal the floor properly. Every sub they used told me they had not done the work they were doing in my home before. They ended up getting everything done really well after Home Depot's district manager stepped in and got them going. I would not use them again.

They had been referred to us by Home Depot for the project. They asked when both my husband and I were available for the appointment. I explained that I was the person making the decisions on this project and that my husband was not available. As the scheduling person kept insisting that they could not come out unless we were both here no matter who was making the decisions on this project. I asked to speak to a supervisor as this was very unusual. She said that they only meet with both owners so all decisions could be made at the time of the appointment. I again explained that I was the person with the construction experience and that I would making the decisions. I was told that then they could not work with just me. Since I have been the general contractor on several remodeling projects both at family member's homes and our house plus just recently finished our kitchen I was shocked at this policy. I again asked to speak to someone else and was told that wasn't possible. This was a major red flag in my book. If I was having this much trouble scheduling an appointment I could just vision what working on a project with this company would be. I talked to the Manager of the Home Depot to let them know why I would not be purchasing the planned materials and working through them on this project. He contacted the Area General Manager and reported this reaction by Affordable Contracting.

They were one of the 3 companies that I evaluated for doing some remodeling and I did not choose them. I thought their quote was out of line with the others. They quoted me $15000.00 to do something that 2 other better rated firms quoted me lower prices. There was a significant difference. I had used them years ago for another bathroom. I was pleased with the work, but I think I was overcharged for that. I didn't know as much as I do now. This quote was way out of line with the other 2 quotes. I liked the work that they did on my previous job, but I think they overcharged. That's what I didn't like about them. I felt that their estimate for this job was way out of balance. When I told the guy that I was getting 2 other quotes, he told me that if I was getting somebody out of a truck, it was going to be lower. When I told him that I am going to 2 other people that were very highly regarded on Angie's List, I never heard back from them. The good thing about them was that for the previous job I got them through the home improvement store so I was able to finance it through the home improvement store. They never called me back which I think made me realize that he knew he was overcharging or overquoting. I had good and bad experiences with them. I don't consider it very professional to overcharge and then belittle about my getting other estimates. I don't think they were professional.

I purchased my condo on 8/1/2005. It was in original condition so they came out and gave a bid to enlarge a closet, remove/repair a wall that had mirror on it, and install hardwood flooring. They finished on time and in budget. FURTHER, the next summer, after a water heater leak, they ripped up and reinstalled my hardwood floors in record time and cost. They were excellent.

I liked them so much that I'm having them back to do the bathroom. Their communication was excellent. They were so generous with their time and were willing to come back and answer any questions we had. They were very prompt for the service. I can't say enough good things about them.
