Description of Work: This townhouse is a rental property and I try to manage it from Germany. Found Brian on Angie's list and feel fortunate to have contacted such a highly professional contractor. He reorganized his jobs to complete the bathtub and bathroom repairs on an emergency basis. His communication and pictures kept me informed of the task and his progress. I participated in decisions when appropriate via telephone. I highly recommend him and appreciate the opportunity to work with such a skilled and ethical individual. Thank you so much, Brian.

Description of Work: Brian gave us a fair estimate to replace our garage side door and storm door, plus repair two ceiling cracks and paint ceiling of LR, KIT & DR. |His men, namely Jason, Jeremy and Kevin were nothing but professional. They were courteous and neat in their work. At the last minute, we decided we wanted to construct a beam on the ceiling between the Kit and DR where one of the ceiling cracks were visible. Working from a drawing I quickly dotted down, they turned my poor drawing into a finished product that was exactly what we wanted. Brian didn't add any more cost to our bill. We have a few projected to be done in the spring and we now know exactly who to call.

Description of Work: They installed two safety bars in my shower. They had to cut through the drywall on the other sides of the shower to get a solid support for the bars. The drywall was replaced and repaired (except for painting). I had another small problem removing a toilet seat because the bolts had rusted. While they were there, they cut off the bolts for me at no charge. Very professional.

Description of Work: Initial response was prompt and professional. After receiving my estimate, I asked for a couple of changes to the work and was told by Brian that he would get back to me. I never heard from him again!! It would have been nice to know that he was not going to do the work so I could have moved on to another company in a more timely fashion rather than waiting to hear back from him.

Member I'm not sure why you would write this. I came over and looked at your job (all of them). You said the basement needed to be put on hold. Then asked for a revised quote on the front steps. I told you I needed to look at it and measure the concrete. I did and called you back telling you as I did when we initially spoke about revising the estimate that it would not be any less expensive to do as you inquired. I assumed you were not interested in doing this at this time as I never heard back. If you were indeed interested I could of resent a new estimate. Though I did tell you on the phone I thought the cost would be more and I would call you with the details. If for some reason you deleted the message or never received it and yes technology is not always reliable I am sorry but you could of called or emailed me a second time and I would of called you back a second time with the numbers. If you still want them I can tell you just call. Thanks ands sorry Brian

All the details are above.
Description of Work: I wrote a review yesterday and gave this contractor and very bad score but am writing today to correct my mistake. I thought that he never responded with an estimate. I was wrong…I just missed the very punctual estimate on my computer. After receiving the poor grade that was a result of MY mistake, he called to tell me that he had just sent a duplicate of the email he had sent way back in June to prove that he had sent it in a very timely manner. I was very surprised that I had missed it on my computer, but indeed I had and feel so badly for slamming him on the internet when he in fact had been very punctual. Today when he called, he was very polite even after the terrible review I had given him which speaks volumes of his professionalism as i wouldn't have been so nice to me. I apologize profusely to Brian for the damage I may have caused and hope you all take the chance to read this review. His price was also more than fair. I will not be so quick to react on a social media forum the next time without making sure I was correct in my assumptions. So sorry Brian.

All I can say it is sad when you give an answer to someone who wants something for nothing and they won't even schedule an appointment to look at there job. I don't understand how people can expect estimates over the phone without letting you look at the job. You called complaining about other people's prices and when I tell you it didn't seem to bad you give me an F rating. Our name is affordable solutions not free. You wanted a concrete patio broken up, hauled away and new one poured and according to you a truck could not get in there so once again according to you we would have to hand carry, hand mix and all. But you will give an F to anyone who doesn't give you a quote for a job unseen they way you would like. Good luck in your ventures.

Dear member I am truly sorry for any problems, I really wish I knew who you are. We respond to all e mails sent through angies list as they have a system to remind you if you missed one. Also we do not delete voicemails and hit the recall button on each voicemail you the customer leaves. If you called the office number then I take down your name and number and call it back from my phone. Now there had been occasions where I miss one yes I'm human also and if this was the case I'm very sorry. Normally I find the home owner is calling from work and forgets to leave there number, or they don't check there messages, or don't have a voice box set on there phone. After trying a couple times I have to hope they call us back instead of putting the negative reviews on the site. But I understand some people believe the world evolves around them and as long as they put some effort that's all that's necessary. Not saying that you are one of those people. But there is no e mails and I have a record of the people I called.

Description of Work: electrical and plumbing work. It went well. The owner had recently experienced a fire in his home, the whole thing burned to the ground so they were operating out of a hotel room in emergency situations, and while there were minor delays in his responding, under the circumstances he was attentive and professional, despite being under stress. Says a lot about him and his desire to please his customers.

Description of Work: Brian returned my call shortly after I placed it on a Friday. His helper, Doug, came the following Monday and quickly had my gutters cleaned. One thing I wish I'd thought to ask was that one gutter had overflowed before Affordable Solutions arrived. I should have asked Doug to wipe down the outside while he was here. Oh, well. The rain will do it eventually. Thank you for the recommendation.

member i'm not sure exactly what the complaint is. We did exactly what your husband asked, repaired a front door and cut down a screen door to fit an opening it was not meant for. We walked into the job informing your husband that the rear door was not going to look as though it was meant to be there. He was ok with that as you already had the door and wanted to save on purchasing the proper door. You also say you would never hire us again yet I have a request from you for a quote to install a faucet. After reading your review though I believe I learned my lesson. Thank you but I think I will pass on the second opportunity to assist you.
