Ron Abrahamsen's estimate was not the lowest we got, but we were very impressed with how he listened to us and understood our needs, so we gave him the job and never had a minute's regret. Work was started on the date promised, and completed a bit sooner than expected. His workers were skilled, professional, respectful and pleasant. The sub-contractors he hired had the same qualities. A construction project is never fun, but getting to know these craftsmen and seeing the beautiful finished result made the dust and disruption well worth it. We would use Ron again for a future project in a heartbeat.

Very well. While maybe unusual, both we and the contractor had several prior travel commitments, so total elapsed time was longer than some might find acceptable but it worked well for us. (Elapsed time also included scheduling sub-contractors for flooring and carpet installation. Did my own plumbing hook-up.)
Description of Work: Re-build raised flooring, re-install kitchen counters, install partial finish flooring, re-hang assorted sliding doors, re-install carpet. In finished basement, after sub-floor leak required taking them out. This seems to be an "odd-size" job, too big for a handyman yet too small for some contractors. Serv-Pro, the initial remediation contractor supplied by our insurance company, declined to take on the re-building phase. Of the four (or five?) contractors that we contacted, only two came back with estimates, Ron Abrahamsen, Al's son, was both the lowest and most local to us. While most actual work was done by Ron's son and other workers, dealing with them has been a pleasure.

Ron and crew are very professional, trustworthy, and easy to work with. They kept as close to schedule as possible and were all very happy to take the time to answer any questions that I had. We lived in the house and I worked from home throughout the construction process and they always made sure to be neat and respectful. Ron was great with supervising the project - he was always sure to let me know what was going on, when to expect subcontractors (subcontractors used were all very professional as well) and was always available by phone when not on site (though he usually was onsite). But most importantly, the quality of work and craftsmanship was excellent, right down to the specialized finished carpentry projects I asked for. They clearly take pride in their work and it really shows in all the details. We are already planning to have them come back to do our kitchen soon!
Description of Work: Finished attic, including 2 new dormers and new hvac - created an artist studio, sitting room, additional bedroom, storage, and bathroom on 3rd floor. Also remodeled 2nd floor bathroom.

Work was completed in one and one-half days as estimated. Workmanship was outstanding in its craftsmanship and neatness. Ron Abrahamsen discovered additional rot in wood on front porch; and he had it replaced at no charge beyond his original quote for the job, which did not include that additional work.
Description of Work: Replacement of rotting door jambs on garage, rotting window sill and door sill on back porch, rotting support beam on front of tool shed along with entire front siding on tool shed, which had rotted at the bottom.

Our house is over 100 years old and our kitchen was vintage 1960's and badly in need of repair. The house looks kind of like various previous owners got some buddies together to do construction projects over a keg of beer. There were many problems with previous construction jobs that were done in the house but the main one was that a supporting beam for the second floor was cut out in out in order to make an opening for the add-on kitchen that they built!! This is something that was not at all visible until Ron began to tear out the old kitchen. We all were amazed that the second floor never collapsed. Ron and Billy did such an excellent job of reinforcing what was there that the building inspector did not require us to hire an engineer. We have beautiful new cabinets and countertops and additional storage space with an added closet. Ron and Billy also added a second bathroom, a master bathroom. It has been such a blessing to wake up in the middle of the night and use the bathroom without having to go through the house. We had absolutely no problem leaving these guys in the house without us being home. Trust them completely. Ron has done a number of jobs for me and probably will do many more. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. He does great work.

He is a friend of mine, but he did excellent work. His name is Ron Abrahamsen. He is very honest and careful to do a good job with quality. I know it was a very good price. I know it was a much better price than I could get anywhere else. I would absolutely use them again in the future.
Description of Work: They fixed my deck. They closed up a hole in my wall and put in insulation.

The work was being done in advance of selling our home. From the day I walked Al though the house to show him what we needed to the last day of the job, Al was in charge. His estimates were precise, the cabinet and stone companies he used were excellent and his workers were on time and respectful of our home. Since the kitchen update was a big part of our job, Al was considerate of our timing and started the work right after Thanksgiving and ended before Christmas. We were able to host both holidays in our home. But, this is the most amazing thing about Al, he is an honest craftsman. Our job totaled a little more than $20,000 and there were a lot steps, vendors and materials. We paid Al according to the schedule he gave us and at the end of the job he told me we had over paid him by just over $600. I would never have known that and it would have been so easy for Al to simply keep the money. But, he didn't. How often do you find that kind of character anymore?
Description of Work: We had several wall repair and painting jobs throughout the house and also updated our kitchen with new appliances, cabinets and countertop. Al either performed the work directly or hired the service. He oversaw the entire job.

Providing reasonably priced estimates. However, we went with another vendor who was slightly lower in price. Still, we liked his professionalism, experience and willingness to explain. Would use him in the future and recommend to others.

He had a sub contractor come by to fix the roof, which I was not expecting. However, he was very professional in his work and did an excellent job. A couple days later, Ron came back to inspect the job and made sure I was happy with the service. It was also the lowest bid I received.

They were very good as well. But we went with another company because we really liked his professionalism. We could tell that he was a perfectionist by the way he spoke. He even gave us better quality. He guaranteed that the type of GIS timberline that he was going to be using. There were a lot of little extras. We liked the way his estimate was spelled out. There was nothing wrong with Al Abrahamsen & Son’s quote either. The quote amount was $10795. He said that he was very busy which we could understand. He said that it would take a while and we had no problem with that. We liked him and he was very professional. He was in the ballpark and he was not higher.

Please see the above explanation... their employees were afffable, respectful, and overall did a quality job. But the GC did not listen to my request.
Description of Work: the back porched that was converted into an extension of my exitsing kitchen was existing...it was separating from the house, and as it turned out, because there were no footings installed; Al Abrahamson & Sons, Inc. did a great job of installing new footings, elevating the back porch (kitchen) so that i could install new windows in that area...They reinstallated insallation, sheet rock, windows, and primed the space for painting...Their quality is very good, but they had a problem listening to what I wanted...that is the only problem I had with them as I am now stuck with a window set up that i did not want...Part of my problem is that they are not within a close distance and charges may have been appropriate to that paradigm.....If I were closer to them, and had better communication, I would definitely recommend them for other potential contracts.... By the way, they built a beautiful closet of sold oak...their workmanship is really good

Description of Work: There were 2 dates of service. The first time Ron replaced a ceiling in our back room. the second time he replaced 2 windows in the same room and also did an extensive roofing job over our kitchen.

Great job from start to finish will use them again!
Description of Work: Ron, was very responsive in providing a price and repriced the job each time we had asked for changes.We had a roof leak and a door and wall area that had water damage.Ron and his workers came on time and preformed the work as requested. The job was done in a timely manner and the workers cleaned up everyday and did a wonderful job. The job was to remove siding and replace plywood and insulation, repair the leak in the roof and added flashing to have the water directed into the gutter instead of down the side of the house. They replaced the back door and did a great job and trimmed it out better than we expected.

After a huge tree hit my home during Hurricane Irene, I interviewed and/or met with at least 6 contractors. They were all late, over priced and many unprofessional. I decided to go with Ron Abrahamsen and Sons. He and his workers were very professional, honest, punctual and the craftsmanship of the work was impeccable. I have referred him to 2 other people for renovation work in their homes.
Description of Work: Repaired bathroom ceiling and insulation, tile grouting, repaired deck - replacing several boards and new risers, installed attic stair, re-pointed chimney, replaced damaged gutter, installed a metal garage door and wood laundry room door. Removed damaged staircase and built and installed oak 7 step staircase.

Called Al, he came and gave and estimate, he wrote up a contract. We needed some wood replaced before starting. He couldn't start as soon as he wanted because of all the rain. He gave me an time estimate of about a week. His guys were fast, neat, and good workers. The cleanup was great. The job finished early. They found some rotted plywood and replace at reasonable cost. There have been no leaks.

Overall, from start to finish, Ron communicated all work to me and there were no surprises. He and I never met during the couple of days he took to estimate and complete the job, but afterwards he made a special trip to our house to introduce himself. I consider him a true professional and will definitely use his services in the future if need be.
Description of Work: The rear of my house needed some touch-up after having a new gutter and fascia installed by another company. Paint had been torn off some shakes and other shakes needed replacing because of age, not due to the gutter work. Al Abrahamsen & Son (Ron is the person who worked with me; I assume he's the "son" in the company name) did a wonderful job, and the clean-up afterwards was excellent.

I worked with Ron to get an estimate on several projects in our two family house. He was easy to get a hold of, returned all phone calls, emailed a detailed quote in a timely manner and was on time for all appointments. He didn't push the most expensive jobs and worked to find creative solutions. I would highly recommend Ron and his family owned company.
Description of Work: We are looking for a contractor to renovate the floors on the second story of our 2 family duplex. The floors have structural problems that are causing noise issues on the first floor. It is a complicated project and Ron had several ideas for fixing the problems. We also want to renovate the bathroom, but can't gut the bathroom for cost reasons. Ron found a cheaper alternative to fixing the shower/bathtub which we appreciated.

They were very nice, family owned and run. They estimate was a little high and I ended up getting a significantly lower estimate. The company was very nice, professional and accommodating. When I would make a request they would say they could do it, but also not promising the world They were very honest. They seemed very professional. If price were not an issue I would use them in the future.
