Alex came to the house the same day that I called and had a bid for us the next day. He sent a contract with all the work to be done and everything that we needed to do and a list of  preferred vendors. He also suggested changes to our plan to improve the design. Once we purchased everything that was to be installed they began the work and stayed on it until the bathroom was complete. Bob who was assigned to head up the remodel was very professional and easy to work with. There were several unforeseen challenges involved with this remodel but Bob just worked his way right through them. A special thanks to Tibor Tile who did a fantastic job installing floor and shower tile and Mike Hollman Cabinetry for his craftsmanship . The finished product was as good or better than we had envisioned. Keeping in good communication with your contractor and laying out all the items to be installed will help make your project go smoothly. Thanks Alex, Bob and all the subs.

Alex Freddi's crew were reliable and did an incredible job.  They worked every day on our project for three months and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the quality, communication, and professionalism they displayed throughout the project.  They left our house clean each day during the project.  They were respectful of my children being around during the project.

Alex, Kyle, and the rest of their crew were great to work with.  We found some deteriorated pipes when the walls and ceiling were opened up.  It all got fixed quickly, new drywall was installed, we repainted and now you wouldn't even know anything had happened.  Thanks to the drywall guys for the great patch job.  I liked the plumbing crew and have already had them over for some other work, not related to the bathroom.  My wife really liked the tile work, it really looks great.

This was a small job compared to the major projects handled by Alex Freddi Construction LLC, but I was treated like an important customer and received prompt attention from Alex Freddi. Alex and Kyle were professional, knowledgeable and detail-oriented. The completed job is perfect and I am extremely satisfied. I will definitely contact Alex with other projects and will highly recommend his company to other people.

I was very impressed that the company emailed me back within a few days and honestly told me they were too busy to take on new clients at this time. Although I wish I could have had an estimate from this highly rated company, I appreciated their punctuality, responsiveness, and honesty about the number of clients they could take on. I hope I can do business with them in the future.

From the very beginning Alex was very professional and helpful. He was easily reached by phone or text and always available when I needed him to answer questions or make suggestions. Alex and his crew always showed up on time, on the days they said they would. Everyone who came to our house was pleasant and courteous, and always cleaned up after themselves at the end of each day.
Alex was a very reassuring presence on the work site. His crew spoke very highly of him and he checked in with them regularly throughout the day to monitor their progress. 
We discovered asbestos in our flooring during demo and Alex made arrangements for the demo to be done while we were out of town so we wouldn't have to deal with the noise or the mess. He kept us informed throughout the process and always alerted us to any upcoming work that he would need us there for. The crew that he brought in was very skilled and mindful of details. They kept me informed of what was going to be done and made sure I was happy with the work throughout the day. Some of them were in our home for several days at a time and they made the process very pleasant. Honestly, I'll miss seeing everyone.
During the process we discovered some roofing problems that were unrelated to the work that we did. Alex jumped in and even helped us out with all of that too so we didn't have to worry. My husband and I were so impressed. Alex stood by his work and the prices he quoted. If we made changes from the plan, he alerted us to any costs incurred well before the changes were made.
I would definitely work with Alex Freddi again. A kind, reliable professional, and an overall great guy. We plan to remodel our bathrooms next year and we'll be sure to call on Alex.

We noticed some cracking in the original (1989) tub enclosure in our small (5' x 10') bathroom.   We decided on a total renovation, with new tile (floor and shower surround), new tub, toilet, vanity, sink, countertop, hardware, and lighting.  We contacted 4 different contractors (2 from Angie's List and 2 who had done work for our neighbors).  We chose Alex Freddi Construction based on their Angie's List ratings and reviews.  Alex was very flexible, giving us a bid that included only the labor and permitting ($6250 for labor and $200 permit).  We could buy our own fixtures, tile, hardware, etc and Alex's team would install them.  Alex also hooked us up with local professionals to help us through the tile choices, countertop, plumbing fixtures, etc.
Alex's team gutted the original bathroom in a couple of hours and then looked for areas that needed repairing before they continued.  They did have to do some leveling around the toilet area, which we had suspected might be the case.  They then put down hardi-backer board all around the shower area and the floor.  After the tub installation, the tiler came up with a tile design that we liked better than our original design.  After all of the tile was grouted, Kyle (our project manager) installed the toilet, vanity, countertop, hardware, and sealed all of the seams.  The job was very well done.
Kyle and his team were very flexible, as they had to work around several trips that we had to make during the renovation.  They let us take on parts of the job that we thought we could handle (we bought our own vanity, and had to modify it to make it fit into the bathroom.  All of Kyle's team were very professional and considerate.  They covered the flooring from the garage (where they stored their equipment and supplies ) to the bathroom area.  When their work created any odors (such as the tiling), they sealed the bathroom as well as possible to keep the odors out of the rest of the house.
We are very happy with the job, and plan to use Alex Freddi Construction on at least two more renovations (master bathroom and the kitchen).

Alex met with us three or four times while my husband and I decided whether or not to even begin a remodel project. Alex was very patient and gave us all the information we requested to help us make a decision.  During the remodel he was great to work with.  He was professional, friendly, positive, punctual and everything you want in a contractor.  He was especially easy to get ahold of.  I don't think I ever waited more than 30 minutes for him to return my phone calls.  Usually he answered on the first call or returned the call in 5-10 minutes! 
Alex managed the project, sending out plumbers, electricians, framers, drywallers and floor installers and refinishers.  His assistant, Kyle did a lot of the work too, and he was equally great to work with.  Everyone Alex sent was friendly and professional.  I would definitely work with him again, as well as recommend him to others!  And our kitchen is beautiful!

We worked with Scott Rogers from Alex Freddi.  He was very easy to work with and patient in developing the detail which we wanted in the contract.
In addition to the regular subs he usually works with, he found a metalworker to fabricate the stainless steel piece above the cooktop to specifications and talked with 4 or 5 metal workers about fabricating a stainless steel utensil rack we wanted to incorporate. After a lot of time and effort, it was decided that the utensil rack was not practicable.  Scott also spent a lot of time finding an artisan able to do the Venetian Plaster. He finally brought in someone from Anacortes, WA. The finished project met (or exceeded) our expectations.
The project was handled very professionally. Great care was taken to protect the flooring and to confine the dust. We were told exactly when to expect each subcontractor. The subs were all very friendly, professional  and arrived on time.They cleaned up at the end of each day and over weekends, made sure that we had use of our kitchen.
The price was inline with other estimates and change orders were discussed in advance of additional work.
I would highly recommend Alex Freddi Construction. They were a delight to work with.

From the beginning of both jobs Alex and his crew were friendly and personable. Very easy to work with. They listened to what we wanted, helped us make the appropriate decisions. They communicated everything, if there would be any delays, when certain things would happen, what time of day they would be there and who would be there. He introduced us to all the crew members. Alex checked on the progress frequently. If we had any questions or concerns they were answered and dealt with. All aspects of the job were done flawlessly. The tile work is beyond beautiful. We have plans for more remodeling and we will be calling Alex.

This was the best experience I've had with a contractor in 22 years of home ownership.  Scott Rogers, project manager for Alex Freddi, listened well from the estimate visit through the final punchlist items.  He made thoughtful suggestions and checked back throughout the process to make sure we were aligned on what was wanted in the job.  We communicated regularly about our expectations on progress and the timing of activities throughout the job.  Scott kept everything well coordinated and responded very effectively when there were minor 'bumps' in the schedule.  Scott always got back to me promptly when I had a question.     Sean, the site lead on the job, was always pleasant in responding to questions, and never seemed to mind when I was able to watch the crew work.  Sean's trim work was impeccable.  He projected the kind of concern for quality on the job that made you feel like he was working on his own house.  He was here promptly every morning, and kept an astonishingly tidy work area, certainly more than I ever have.   I spent many years as a commercial cabinetmaker, and have had many people reporting to me in manufacturing roles.  I've seen a broad range of performance.  Somehow, Alex Freddi attracts top notch construction talent.  If you want the best, you should call these guys.

From the very first meeting I could tell that Alex and Mike were going to work out. I had met with a couple of other contractors and was not impressed. Alex walked all around my house checking plumbing and electric so he had a clear idea of what he would be dealing with in order to give me what I wanted. He warned me up front about a couple of things that might end up costing me a lot more money than another solution. I really appreciated his honesty. He was always prompt about getting me the bid and paperwork when we moved forward. 
Mike was the project manager and was also very professional and was  a great communicator. He always called/texted me back quickly when I had a question. They addressed all concerns we had along the way and I couldn't have been happier working with them.

When I first called, I was told it would take 2 weeks to come out for an estimate.  Then they called and pushed that out another week.  He seemed overwhelmed by the project and called back two hours later just giving me an hourly rate for T&M.
Response from ALEX FREDDI CONSTRUCTION LLC
"After spending over an hour walking through the partially finished/partially unfinished basement with the owner, it was obvious that the scope of work had not yet been clearly defined.
 The space was very large and included many different add-ons done throughout the years. It was almost certain that the scope of work would have changed once we started the job. We tried to explain this, and the affect that it would have on the price, to the owner. 
Given the circumstances, it would have been virtually impossible and unprofessional to provide a specific price for the project. Instead we suggested that the most reasonable way to do the work would be on a “time and material” basis. We also offered our time and support to work with the owner, step by step, to get a more defined solution to the numerous issues associated with the project. 
In regards to the timeline, we strive to provide accurate and free estimates for our clients. To do so in a timely manner, we respond to all requests in the order in which they are received. In all honesty, we find this review to be very harsh, given our efforts to provide a realistic view of the situation, and given the time we invested in walking through the project, offering creative suggestions and honest solutions. We did all of this at no cost to the homeowner. Thank you for taking the time to hear our side of the story."

Alex and his two assistants Kyle and Mike did a great job.  They gave us a bid for the work and never deviated from that cost unless there was something that could definitely be considered an "extra".  They were timely, and did not take a few days off during the job, as many contractors seem to do.  They had a few subcontractors they brought in for for plumbing and tile work that also did a great job. 
Alex is very easy to work with and is a very good communicator.  We basicaly had nightly calls or emails updating the progress of the work and he promptly answered any concerns that I had.  We had quite a bit more dry rot than anticipated and Alex was more than fair with his extra cost for the dry rot repair.  We will be remodeling our other upstairs bathroom next year and will definitely use Alex for that project.

Scott was very professional, understood exactly what I wanted and got back to me promptly with a bid as well as a revised bid after I changed one aspect of the job. I felt his price was very fair though I ultimately decided to go with another contractor primarily because his company doesn't include materials in their bids, and I didn't want to take the time to shop and do the buying myself. Based on my experience with him, however, I would definitely recommend him to others for him getting materials yourself isn't a problem. (They do provide a list of suppliers if you want to do that.)

From our first contact with Alex Freddi when he came to take a look at the project to the completion of our punchlist approximately 3 months later, our experience was positive.  Despite the fact that their bid was not the lowest one of the contractors who submitted quotes, we decided on Alex Freddi Construction because of their professionalism.  And we are very glad we did.  Scott, our Project Manager, Saun and Mike were not only hardworking, concientious and professional - they are nice folks as well.  All of their sub-contractors (electrician; plumber; flooring,  and tilers were not only skilled but very professional as well).  All our questions, concerns and requests during the renovation process were promptly addressed, and their insights and recommendations were helpful.  And a bonus -- we were able to move into our new place on the date that we had planned on.  A positive experience with Alex Freddi Construction all around.

They were extremely professional and attentive throughout the bidding and construction process.  The ultimate repair was not as extensive as I feared as they were able to creatively use a knee brace.  The end result has been a pleasure to look at and has added value to the bedroom that opens up on it. The view from the kitchen is unimpeded.  I appreciate their human touch and hassle free approach as well as their competence in designing and executing on a project ten feet in the air!  I would use them again, no hesitation.

No remodeling job is without it's suprises! But what I like about working with Alex Freddi is that the surprises never come from the crew!  Windows had to be custom ordered which slowed things down by about a week.  The framing which was already in was in pretty good shape, but we decided to tear it all out so that the concrete walls could be dry-locked really well.  The electrical wire was literally melted through in one spot and so more of that had to be dealt with than we'd originally intended. And the foundation walls started crumbling when the original window frames were removed. But aside from these, pretty normal, hitches, everything worked smoothly.  The workers showed up on time, kept the living areas clean and the floors protected, worked hard and cleaned up after themselves. Anytime a decision had to be made, I was consulted.  Advice was given when it was asked for and sometimes when I didn't know to ask for it.The finished product is beautiful.  Simple, but beautiful.  This is the third job Alex Freddi has done for me and I'll call him when I've saved up enough money for the next one!

First things first:  Go with Alex Freddi and have peace of mind knowing you made the best choice!  Initial phone call and estimate in person were perfect.  Alex is very "hands on" and was always the person I spoke with.  Alex is extremely courteous and professional, but not "stuffy"---very likeable and a great personality.  He was super quick w/ providing my estimate, and extremely fair and detail oriented.  When speaking w/him, it is obvious that he is really listening to you, and that his number one goal is for his customers to be happy throughout the whole process and with the end result. 
    I am very indecisive, and Alex helped me out w/decision making and never made me feel like I was a bother, when I had a hundred questions or concerns.  He introduced me to others that would be doing the work, so that I was comfortable w/who would be in the house.  If I emailed Alex, I received a very quick response---same w/phone calls being returned.
    During the work, no one was inconvenienced and it was a pleasure having Alex and employees around.  Alex maintained contact w/me throughout the entire job.  They beautifully repaired the walls, added new trim, painted rooms, installed cabinetry and flooring to the basement level, which was water damaged.  Everyone was happy with the results!  This was a positive experience on all levels.  Thank you so much Alex Freddi Construction for all of your hard work.  I would and will recommend you to anyone and everyone who needs help w/their home.  (Lalit)

We bought a small mid-century modern house that badly needed some updates, and we had some definite ideas about what we wanted to do, but my talents, time, and tools are limited.  The kitchen was first on the list, but we had a lot of ideas about other areas of the house, too.  We knew we needed professional help, but we wanted to find someone that could help us translate our ideas into reality under our limited budget.

From my first call to Alex Freddi Construction, I was pretty sure we had found our professional.  Alex came to the house promptly and walked through it with me as I explained my ideas for the kitchen and everything else.  He patiently listened to everything I said, and made helpful comments that were clearly based on experience when I talked about removing walls, adding recessed lights, and installing new windows.  All of my ideas were met with a "can do" response, but tempered with comments about the reality of doing so.  For example, I mentioned that we were considering a "wet room" concept for one of the bathrooms i.e. where the entire floor would be sloped to a central drain.  Alex said that this would certainly be possible, and then described in detail what structural changes would have to be made to implement this idea.  His comments were non-judgmental, but they helped me decide to nix this idea.  Within a day after the tour, Alex provided me with a detailed estimate of the work we discussed.  He also assured me that they would work with me if I wanted to do some of the work such as deconstruction or anything else.

Alex and Mike S. showed up promptly on the day we were to begin.  Mike was along on some previous visits while we were estimating, and would be the person doing most of the actual work.  Great progress happened the first day, and it continued throughout the project.  Mike was a great communicator, and we addressed issues as they came up.  Some of our ideas required some clever workarounds, and Mike was very good at implementing them.  For example, we needed to hide our small sized washer and dryer inside cabinets that looked like the rest of the kitchen cabinets (laundry is in the kitchen area).  IKEA does not make cabinets for this purpose, and Mike had to figure out everything from positioning the water inlets to how to make the units accessible for maintenance while still hiding them inside the cabinets.  This hidden laundry area was one of the great successes of the project.  Mike also never forgot our decisions, and if any issue arose, Mike was quick to call and explain the options so that I could make a decision on how to proceed.  When the old kitchen wall insulation was revealed, Mike let me decide whether or not to replace it (we did!).  We wanted to run the new floor completely under the cabinets (separate contractor), and Mike was helpful in coordinating the cabinet installation with the floor installation.

There were no surprises on the final bill.  All of the work was performed at the agreed upon price, and the additional work I requested was clearly identified.  I pointed out a discrepancy about a window that we decided not to replace during the project, and Alex was quick to make the adjustment.  Overall, the project concluded well, and the quality of Mike's work was outstanding.

He seemed to be knowledgeable, polite and businesslike. He treated me very professionally. I found his estimate to be a little high and felt that he was overselling what work needed to be done. I wouldn't recommend him for work on older homes.

The whole process was a pleasure, from set-up to take-down. They were always careful and considerate about leaving our space clean when work was done for the day. Kyle was friendly and easygoing, and if he had questions about how I wanted something done, he made sure to check in with me. He did a beautiful job!
