ALEX FREDDI CONSTRUCTION LLC

The work went very well. Progress and future schedule was covered daily.

Amazing! Thanks to Alex and his crew Kyle and Rob, the remodel was completed on time and on budget. Alex was always readily available by phone and email, and guided us through what could have been a very stressful situation with calm, patience, knowledge, humor, and flexibility. Much to our joy and relief, the job was completed in the 3 week estimated time frame. We had never considered Ikea cabinets until Alex mentioned them. Not only are they good quality and provide a contemporary look, but the savings were incredible over the cost of off-the-shelf wood cabinets. We ended up buying our countertops, refrigerator, and dishwasher at Ikea as well, and the savings allowed us to purchase upgraded floor tile and backsplash. Thanks Alex and crew!

We had not done a major remodeling job on the house since moving in 15 years ago. So were a bit concerned about how to plan the design, buy the supplies (tile and paint), and work with the contractors. Before starting, we heard so many horror stories about remodeling jobs. Next time we hear another, we’ll listen patiently, nod in sympathy, and recommend they call Alex Freddi for any future projects. Alex guided us through the whole process of planning the remodel, and selecting and purchasing the materials. He was always available for questions and was especially prompt in answering our email, sometimes within minutes. He was calm, patient, and generous in sharing his expertise and advice. Alex's crew was professional, highly skilled, and very pleasant to work with. The main contractors, the dynamic brother team of Scott and Nick, were very patient and included us on even the little decisions, such as position of the shower cubbies and towel bars, to make sure we were happy with the results. They also went out of their way to fix a few things along the way that were not included in the original estimate. We were just as satisfied with the work of the crew that did the tiling, drywall, and shower door installation. All in all, we're very happy with the remodeling job and are enjoying the new shower. We're grateful to Alex and are already planning to work with him again on the next home project.

I have an old Portland home with a large porch with detailed trimwork. The porch had a rotting and badly out-of-square corner porch post. It was a significant structural fault and I was concerned about the safety of the porch. I am a "handy" homeowner, but this project was well beyond my skill to take care of independently. Alex and his crew deconstructed and removed the old post and attached railings. They repaired the post and re-installed the trimwork. They had everything cleaned up in one day.The project was handled for less time and less money than originally bid.

Alex and his crew put in an AWESOME new trex two level, hot-tub-containing deck for us. Alex worked with us from the design stage through completion. He helped us choose and purchase materials (additional $5500) at Home Depot, his crew built the deck frame but to save $$ they were happy to have us lay and screw in all the boards. Then they came back and did the stairs, railings and fascia so that it looks professional. We love our new outdoor living space. We found Alex several years ago on Angie's list and have used him for a basement remodel, a kitchen remodel at our rental, and now our deck. We've always been pleased with his quality of work, the professionalism of his crew and his responsiveness to our needs/ desires as well as how he works with us to limit cost in various ways.

Overall, Alex and his team did a great job. Alex saved us a lot of money with his suggestion to use Ikea cabinets, and was highly professional in every aspect of the work. When there were decisions to make or (minor) problems to solve, he brought them to our attention, made excellent recommendations and followed through, even when it involved extra work for him. He charged us fairly for change orders/addons and even through in the small stuff for free. Most amazing of all, he started and finished the job right on schedule. His employees, Rob and Kyle, were a pleasure to deal with day-to-day on the job. They worked hard, at a high level of quality, and cleaned up at the end of the day. All in all, my wife and I highly recommend Alex Freddi to anyone considering a remodeling project of any sort.

It went very, very well. Alex Freddi Construction employs cordial and flexible contractors, who do excellent work in a reasonable amount of time. They keep construction noise to reasonable times of day and keep the mess to a minimum, cleaning up up at the end of every day's work. I would describe the company as high end contractors working at fair prices. Quality and speed were excellent; I feel I got good value for my money.

This experience was 100% positive. Alex was extremely responsive throughout the process and he and his crew were consistently reliable, pleasant and professional. New to Portland, we recently purchased a home with uncompleted renovations. The previous owner left a master bathroom that was unfinished, (down to the studs) with a mish-mash of previously purchased materials and fixtures left in a pile on the floor. Alex patiently worked through the boxes of parts with me and brought his sub-contractor plumber in to assess what we had, and what we would need in order to proceed. We were able to use much of what was left for us and saved quite a bit of money in the process. The crew was extremely conscientious and meticulous. The tile work, especially, was managed with a great eye to detail. As they were finishing up the work, I took advantage of having a tile mastermind (Rob) in my house and showed him and Alex a perplexing cold-air return hole that was left in a wall in our dining room and they were able and willing to provide a solution and fix at no additional cost. Our bathroom is absolutely beautiful. I would not hesitate to contact Alex Freddi again--I can?t imagine a more positive experience.

I called, got an estimate and had the work done in a very timely manner. They were friendly, careful and did a great job. I can't recommend this group enough.

It went very well. This is the second time I used Alex's company. The original work order was just for the new deck. However, at the same time as the deck was being constructed, we started ripping out an old sink in the downstairs rec room in preparation to build a small studio-style kitchen. When we got the sink out of the corner, there was wetness and mold everywhere. We had Alex look at it, and he very quickly demolished what was required to diagnose the extent of the damage from a cracked drain pipe. There was major damage requiring that we basically rebuild a downstairs BR/Laundry room from the ground up. Amazingly, Alex committed to that project, and the deck project, as well as to help us install the kitchen in the downstairs rec room (which had an adjoining, damaged wall with the BR). I know that he had plenty of customers lined up, and he could have very reasonably delayed us, so I was more than a little grateful for the urgency with which he attacked this unforeseen project. Other than that, working with Alex and his crew is always very easy. They are flexible and very knowledgeable about options and the pros and cons of all the choices you have to make during such projects. It is also worth mentioning how flexible Alex can be regarding payment terms. It is normal to arrange 1/2 up front and 1/2 after substantial completion, however, Alex can be flexible depending on circumstances. All in all, I would again use Alex Freddi Construction for subsequent projects, and at this point, I may not even bother to get competing bids! You may be able to find a company a tiny bit cheaper at bid time, however, Alex will always beat the competition with quality and honesty about what the true cost of the work and materials will be. I prefer to use the higher quality materials that Alex recommends instead of the cheaper, less reliable materials that the big companies will use. And Alex's work is always high quality. Anyway - highly recommended.

After getting two quotes from the big name bathtub remodelers, I wanted to see how much a contractor would charge. Bottom line is we paid a little less and got a more for our money. Alex Freddie and his crew were excellent. Alex made suggestions that were helpful and not designed to add cost to the project. During the installation his tiler, Rob, suggested cutting some tiles smaller to make it look better. He was right. When my wife requested a more elaborate cut-out in the middle of the tiling, they did it. Even better there was no extra charge on the final bill. All workers (he did sub out the plumbing and texture spraying of walls) were friendly and on time every day. The quality of their work was excellent. We love our new shower.

Professional from start to finish. The experience was about as good as it could be--absolutely none of the common nightmares associated with carpenters and remodeling. The whole project was completed to perfection in under 4 weeks! The crew was always punctual, absolutely reliable. Crew chief and whole crew were outstanding workers, friendly and courteous. We have a young dog that's aggressive with strangers and the crew and even the sub-contractors--but especially the crew who were there most of the time--were extremely good natured and understanding about the dog. Also, we wanted to hold down costs by doing all the leg work in finding and procuring our tile, cabinet, mirror, toilet, sky light, and fixtures. Alex worked with us, patiently, and made suggestions as to the best places to buy within our budget. After it was completed and we'd signed off on everything we discovered the hand-shower wasn't working properly. A fairly major adjustment needed to be made requiring breaking into the wall of the adjacent bedroom. We called Alex and the whole thing was completed in two days with no additional charge. About cost: after we saw all that was involved in a total remodel, and how hard everyone worked, we feel the cost was extremely fair. Needless to say, if we have future remodeling needs we won't hesitate to hire Alex Freddi Construction.

From the start Alex was patient, friendly, flexible and took the time to explain all of our options. The work was competent, timely and thorough. He is open to allowing the homeowner to take on certain portions of the work to reduce costs and is extremely accommodating about schedules, constraints, cost concerns, etc. Every single worker and sub that he brings on site is professional, friendly and trustworthy. Our tenants are a bit nervous about strangers in the house (and with their animals) and absolutely fell in love with everyone involved. This is the second project we have done with Alex Freddi construction and we will be calling him first for any future work. Can't recommend him and his team highly enough.

MY SAVIOR. I had hired someone else (big mistake) and he rescued me and did the job correctly. Even prior to working in my home he was helping me via e-mail. I found Mr. Freddi to be professional, friendly, approachable, responsible and a great hand-holder when it came to dealing with the bad workers. His crew worked quickly, efficiently, neatly and were very detail-oriented. Start with Alex Freddi -- and you won't have to go without a shower for almost two months and get the job done correctly the first time -- saving lots of money.

Very happy with all the workmanship. Work started promptly & and project finished within the projected time and on budget.

He was wonderful. We had no problems. He came out and did the work a month ago. My husband paid him so I don't have the information, but it was less than what we thought it was going to be.

My husband and I decided to do most of the kitchen remodel on our own because he had so many bad experiences with contractors but we had to call someone to do the tiling, duct work, trim, and basically do the finishing touches on our kitchen. Alex Freddi completely changed our view of contractors and we are going to hire him to do a bathroom remodel. The thing that makes Alex Freddi is an exceptional contractor is that he is an excellent communicator, his work is high quality, his staff is skilled and professional, and he is very trustworthy. Alex was the first contractor to effectively communicate with us. He called and emailed us frequently, he gave us exact dates that he would work, and he always asked how things went after his staff left our house. His staff was extremely punctual, professional, and they too were excellent communicators. The other wonderful thing about him is the quality of his work. Our kitchen is absolutely beautiful and this is due to a skilled staff and high quality materials. Alex is also very honest, trustworthy, and he is a very kind and professional person. When he finished the job, he asked us how we liked the work and encouraged us to call him if anything goes wrong. I have nothing but good things to say about Alex and I can't wait to write another comment after the bathroom is done.

The work looks really nice and it turned out well. His quote was right on the final cost, which was nice. The quality of the workmanship was excellent and the tiling was excellent too. He had several workers and they were all very respectful and courteous. They cleaned up well. Alex asked me to let him know of any problems or issues that we had during the project. He was protective of my home too by putting down covers on the floors for the workers. He was very responsive to my phone calls and emails, he was always right there. I really appreciated this. Alex was prompt and showed up each day on the time we agreed. It was the little things he did that did throughout the project that made this easy experience and a pleasure.

The experience with Alex Freddi was excellent from the beginning to the end. The price was competitive, Alex was responsive and prompt. From the beginning he worked with us to keep the budget down while putting all the "wow" we wanted in our bathroom. He had a team of two who came to work every day on time and worked all day. They were very personable and trustworthy. The quality of the work was excellent. The work was completed within the time estimated, which was very fast. Overall this was a great experience, compared to others we have had, and we would recommend Alex Freddi to anyone.

We had previously contracted Alex Freddi Construction to tile our counter top and floor in our master bath and that job went particularly well, so we decided to have our guest bathroom done as well and to also replace our shower door in our master bath. As with the previous job done in our master bath, our guest bath went extremely well. Alex was always responsive, positive and sensitive to our concerns. Rob and Kyle did the work on our master bath and we requested that they do the work on our guest bath. Rob and Kyle are great to work with. They are excellent craftsmen, personable and efficient. Both are motivated by a professionalism not often seen. I felt that they were going to do a job that they would be proud of. And they did. After the guest bath was done, Rob returned to install our new shower door in our master bath. He showed up promptly at 8:00 AM, removed the old door and began the installation of the new one. It wasn't long before he noticed that a major part of the new door was missing from the box and the install came to a halt. (We provided the new shower door, so that wasn?t his fault.) He had work to do at a location in Lake Oswego, so he left us to go to that job. He knew he'd be there all day, but told us that if we could get the missing part that day he'd come back and install the door after his Lake Oswego job. So as it turned out, we got the missing part and called Rob to let him know. We thought that we'd have to wait (without a shower door) until he could be re-scheduled to return to finish the job, but he didn?t want to leave us without the shower door, so he came back that evening, after working all day in Lake Oswego, to install our shower door. He got the job done at 8:00 PM and we were very appreciative for his thoughtfulness. I would not hesitate to recommend Alex Freddi Construction, particularly with Rob and Kyle doing the work.

Everything went exceptionally well and we are very satisfied with the results and the process. Alex was always prompt in returning our calls and emails, was very easy to work with and always aware of all the details of the job as it progressed. Rob was the lead man on the job and the level of his work is definitely not typical. He reminds me of an old world craftsman. He took particular care in everything he did and he took extra time and effort to give us a master bathroom that we are very proud of. Kyle worked with Rob, under Rob?s direction, and he was meticulous in everything he did. Alex, Rob and Kyle were a pleasure to work with and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Outstanding - work done within a few days of accepting the bid. Spectacular effort and result. This is the second time I used Alex and I won't hesitate to use him again. Great work by Kyle and Rob of his team.

The project went extremely well, overall. Alex was quick with the estimate (emailed the estimate with attachments of various supply/design stores by the end of the day). The demolition was reasonably quick and the clean-up was remarkable. Alex was always available for questions or concerns that I might have and stopped in frequently to check on the project. Rob was the tile setter/artist and at all times was considerate, pleasant and trustworthy. He did an excellent job cutting and setting the tiles. I absolutely love my new bathroom!

They were very helpful, responsive, informative, and answered all my questions. They got the project done on time and on budget and if there were any changes, they let us know in advance. They were very friendly and we enjoyed working with them.

Alex and Rob did a fantastic job! The master bath was a complete remodel (down to the studs) with a new tile shower (mudset), tile floor, plumbing fixtures, paint, vanity install, lighting, fan, and pocket door. Rob's tile work was meticulous and very exact. It looks beautiful! We worked without a designer, but Alex and Rob made good suggestions regarding tile design, lighting, and other details. The guest bath was a bit quicker because it did not involve a mudset. The tile work also looks really great. Alex and Rob had to overcome a variety of small issues associated with remodeling a 20 year old house and having to work upstairs in close quarters, but they did it professionally and they were very nice to work with. Rob was there every day on time (early a.m.) and worked until well after 6 p.m. Alex and Rob were committed to getting our job done within the time estimate and they were right on. We also had a couple of smaller projects that they took care of while they were working on the bathrooms. They were very accommodating and professional. I would most definitely recommend them for any remodeling project.
