We contacted multiple companies prior to closing to solicit bids. We wanted to begin the repairs immediately after moving in. Not only did A Step Beyond provide us a competitve bid, theirs was the only one that provided the line item detail we requested. Additionally, Kevin proved to be extremely professional, engaging, knowledgeable, and responsive. We'll most certainly use A Step Beyond on future home improvement and repair needs.

There were several structural issues with the roofing, attic, floor support structure,bathroom showers and toilets, deck etc. Kevin repaired/replaced the following (list not all inclusive): Foundation Walls, Columns, Piers (1) Piers not in contact with the floor framing system.

He gave us an estimate in a timely fashion and worked on the project in heat and rain. I would recommend him to anyone.
Description of Work: I know a good bit about construction, since my Father owned a construction company when I was growing up. Kevin Schodorf / “A Step Beyond” is incredible, helpful, considerate, and does great work. We had water damage and damage from the way our house was built. He had to do all kinds of things to help us. For example, he had to replace windows all over the house, fix termite damage, strip 20 year old wallpaper in a bathroom and repaint it/repair walls, fix drain spouts, and replace outside boards, damaged from termites. When I saw what the bathroom walls looked like after the old wallpaper was stripped, I didn’t think anyone could fix it. I came home from work the next day and walked into the bathroom. It was AMAZING. He did such a good job that it looked like I was in someone else’s bathroom! He is also considerate of your personal needs. When I was at work, he did his job AND made sure my dog did not get out. If you are a pet owner, that is a big deal. Bottom line: reasonable prices, considerate about personal needs, and expert work in all kinds of construction problems and areas.

They were fine. We didn't let them drill through our back splash tile so we have a lot of wires in our cabinets. He put rope lights up on top. He did a great job putting the can lights in over our bar and on the other side of our Great Room.
Description of Work: They put some electrical lights in for us in our home.

Provided references who spoke well of Kevin and the work he had done for them. One reference even offered to 'hunt Kevin down' should he fail to do the job well. A material deposit was required for this job due to the large amount of material required.Miguel (employee) worked alone completing the entire job himself. He arrived on time each day and let me know when he was not going to be able to come due to attending a function at his child's school. His work was better than those who originally installed the siding on my house and garage. He cleaned up at the end of each day and again after completion of this job. When the job was completed, Kevin and I did a walk-around to review the workmanship before I made the final payment. Kevin guaranteed the workmanship for 2 years.
Description of Work: Replaced all of the vinyl siding including 'J' channel as needed, on my house and detached garage.
