ALEX FREDDI CONSTRUCTION LLC

Alex took care of most of the demo of the two (40 sq. ft. each) bathrooms. This went quick and took around three days. Rob (Alex's) helped put down new plywood and moisture barrier over the sub floor and frame out the new wall for the enlarged shower. We then had to wait for the plumber to come and install the tub and shower pan so that the tile backer board could be installed on the walls and the floors. After the inspector was able to come out and check over the roughed in plumbing work the rest of the backerboard was installed. It was then about four days before the drywallers started to come out and fill in the sections of removed drywall. This took about three days from start to finish. I was then responsible for finishing the work (tiling, install toilet & vanity, and finish plumbing). Overall, things went well. Alex made sure that I was happy with all of the work and even let me borrow some of their equipment for doing the tiling. The only delay was waiting for the permit (not their fault). The quality of the work was good and I would call them again to get a bid for future work.

I thought they did a good job. They tried to do the best job they could in terms of completing it in a timely manner. I did have some problems with some of the boards after the installation. I called them and they were quick to come out and correct that, which I really appreciated. I also though they did a good job staining the deck. Overall they were easy to work with.

It was a great experience from beginning to end. Alex was always prompt and professional, and often went out of his way to help us complete the project. We wanted to do the demo and painting ourselves, and Alex was very accommodating and even lent us tools and materials. Our job was a bit tricky, as we wanted custom features like a curbless shower and a custom double vanity. But Alex and Rob worked hard and with great attention to detail to get the job done. We can't say enough good things about the result and the quality of work. What we really appreciated on top of all that was the professional and positive attitude that both Alex and Rob have. They are truly nice and friendly people, and we would hire them again in a second.

It went very well. Alex and Rob were easy to communicate with and cleaned up well after every visit. Alex provided a great deal of email communication and advice, helping us to make better decisions. We made some changes along the way, which Alex dealt with very well. He did a lot of "little" things that were not in the contract without any extra charge. He helped us use his wholesale flooring/tile supplier when we could not find tile or floor that we liked elsewhere. We used off the shelf vanity and top, and the top did not fit, so Alex created a solution of brackets so we could keep the Onyx top we wanted. There was no additional charge for the extra labor. He also helped us shop a couple of times, with no extra charge. We were only delayed a couple of weeks from the original contract schedule-estimate, which was fine and not a big deal. Some of the delay was due to decisions that we had yet to make. On the last day of work, Alex even helped to install a mirror which was not in the contract. All in all, with the extra communications, extra work on our changes, and the quality of the work, attention to detail, etc., this experience was a great contractor experience, and we would call on Alex again with any other projects we have.

Alex and Rob did a superb job. This bath had been virtually unusable because of a poorly designed 'sunken' tub. By redesigning the hand holds to get in the tub and the shower door they made the tub functional without the expense of raising the tub. Rob's tile work and painting was beautiful. They also managed to use the existing sink and cabinet. After repainting the cabinet it looked new. This could have been a $15-20,000 job but by judicious and creative use of existing elements in the bath that were in good condition they saved us a bundle without sacrificing quality. During the job Alex and Rob kept in communication with us at all times. They were prompt and accommodating to our schedule. Finally they were the cleanest contractors we have ever hired. Every night they made sure the work area was completely neat.

From his initial visit, Alex was prompt, thorough, and a pleasure to work with. He listened carefully to everything we wanted and worked hard to make all the details like the cabinet work, but he didn't hesitate to tell us when he thought that an idea wasn't realistic in terms of the work/cost involved. He was ready to start by the date he gave us, always kept us informed of the schedule as work progressed, and was done in about 5 weeks where others had estimated as many as 8-10. His right hand man, Rob and all of his subcontractors were also highly professional and very conscientious about cleaning up after themselves and limiting the disruption to our lives as they worked in the middle of our house. Throughout the project, the focus was on doing quality work with good materials that would stand the test of time and leave us with a room we were happy with. We won't hesitate to call the next time we have a project to be done!

Alex and Rob were very pleasant, showed up when they said they would and did a great job. I added a few tasks that I hadn't originally asked for when they got started and they willingly took them on. The bathroom & doors look great.

In our experiences with contractors, Alex Freddi has been the best by far. Alex always returned our phone calls (and email!) in a timely manner. He always showed up when he said he would or called to make arrangements so we weren't left waiting around. All contractors say they clean up after themselves - Alex and his crew actually do. We never felt we had to go sleep somewhere else because of some mess. Alex's employees are as conscientious as he is. He is very concerned that his subcontractors do good work. Again, he communicates. A previous contractor (not Alex) said he wasn't there to help us make decisions about what fixtures or material to use - that wasn't his job. But we don't remodel bathrooms all the time and we appreciated that Alex didn't mind giving us his opinions based on past experience. Though he made sure we knew the final decisions were up to us. And he assured us many times that his number one priority was that we were satisfied with the results. And we were/are!

We were amazed how quickly and accurately Alex leveled our floor after living with uneven floors for so long. Alex was able to make the floor almost perfectly level and more than suitable for laminate flooring. Regarding the flooring, we were concerned about the quality of the laminate and how it would appear when installed. Alex and Rob did an amazing job and the seams in the laminate flooring are almost invisible. There were a couple minor complications during the project and Alex gave us several potential solutions along with his recommendation. I would not have trusted anyone else with this job and could not be happier with the result!

Alex did a fantastic job. I am quite pleased with his work overall.

Alex did a fantastic job in all respects. When there was a little settling and the wood shifted, he promptly corrected the problem so that I was more than happy with the final results.

Alex is a very impressive contractor. He is present on the job himself, is prompt and has an excellent eye for detail. His advise was unfailingly good. On a number of occasions he located serious problems other contractors or the builders had missed and corrected them He is also reasonable this is extremely important as we are retired. We have had some nightmare experiences with other contractors Alex is a definite exception. He is a true craftsman, easy to work with and an excellent problem solver. We should also mention that Rob, his assistant is also very knowledgeable and a wonderful painter. I highly recommend Alex as a contractor and would use him again.

Timely, professional and outstanding in every respect. Alex came out to start the job one day after he sent the bid to me. He is a consummate professional and excels at communicating effectively. The work, itself, is better than I expected and his rates are very reasonable. In fact, I gave him a $50 tip; that is how happy I was with his efforts.

Alex did a wonderful job. He took his time, as I had asked, to allow for settling after jacking before installing the missing support beams. While working in the crawlspace, he noticed and informed me that the center joist of the house was completely unsupported :-( and he proceeded to put beams at regular intervals to support this joist. In addition, since the deck was only attached to the siding (vs. structure of the house), he rebolted the deck to studs in the house.

Alex and company did an outstanding job and was really professional. I have never seen a fence so straight!

Alex and his crew were awesome! Besides removing ALL the old fence he also demolished an old wood shed and tossed it along with some miscellaneous stuff around the yard into the big dumpster he brought in for the occasion. The fence and gate he built look great and I was greatly pleased with the outcome. Quality work, quality cleanup and on budget. It doesn't get much better than that! Thank you Alex and crew!

Alex did an excellent job of quickly and neatly removing unwanted items and replacing them with good quality materials that were installed in a professional manner. He was punctual, efficient, responsible, responsive, easy to work with and fair on pricing.

Alex is a friend, so our rapport was good from the start. He came to the house to look at the job, gave me an estimate and stuck to that estimate. He was in touch with me by phone throughout, asking my opinion on every detail of the job. He accommodated mistakes made by the company from which we ordered doors (one was an inch taller than he'd ordered; the door cut-outs (made in consultation with the door supplier) ended up being 2'' taller than was necessary. Alex worked quickly and efficiently, always cleaning up the workspace at the end of the day so that everything was put away and the floor was swept. On days when electrical work was in progress, he called to warn me (the neighborhood kids use the mudroom for in- and egress). When the drywall was finished, but before he installed the mouldings, Alex called to let me know it was ready for paint. And on the day the job was finished, the site was not only clean, but he'd set up my deck furniture so that it was ready for use!

Always early or on time for pre construction apt. and on the two days it took to install the door. This was not an easy job and required some expertise on installation. Alex did a fine job. Was very precise in measuring and cutting, using beautiful tools. As the door was very heavy, my husband helped Alex the first day to take apart the existing wall and lift the door into place. He took his time in the finish work and his attention to the details shows. He has a very easy going personality and very professional, that we enjoyed working with. Very good about preparing the area, so nothing was damaged, before he started the job. There were no surprises and the price was as quoted. Enjoyed talking with him about his Italian heritage.

The work Alex did is excellent. While I originally planned to get a couple of estimates for the job, I was so impressed with Alex`s professionalism that I went with his company without looking around for other bids. He presented several possibilities for re-supporting the rafters in our attic and also explained what he thought was the best option. He was very thorough and did more work than he originally anticipated was needed, while still getting the job done on time. What I am most happy about is the appearance of the supports he added to our existing rafters. I was concerned that the supports would look out of place and would be an issue when we attempted to sell the house. In the end, they look like they belong there. If they were not made of new wood, it would appear that they had been installed during the original construction of the house. Highly Recommended!

Alex is great! He is on time, keeps me constantly informed and is clearly committed to doing quality work. His work ethic and integrity are amazing.

Alex was always on time or would inform us of any delays. Always cleaned up after each work day too.

Alex was great. His best attributes were responsibility and professionalism. He worked everyday punctually and there were no cost overruns. I'd highly recommend him.
