My review is long overdue. Nov 2022 a horrific incident happened to my next door neighbors, which included a house fire. At 12:30am a call was made to AHW, thinking just leave a msg for the next day (Saturday), but was shocked when Mike answered the phone. He and his team were there at 8am to put boards on windows etc. AHW was then hired to do the gutting of the home. All household items, refrigerator, furniture, personal belongings, everything! I'll talk first about their work ethic, they all were extremely professional, honest, dedicated, energetic, and knew what needed to be done. Once the home was emptied out, they went to work on ripping everything down, walls, ceilings, cabinets, flooring etc. Right down to the studs. Everyday they left, everything was cleaned up on the outside, sweeping, hosing down etc. Now the human side to these amazing gentlemen. Again, this was a horrific incident. ALL the staff at AHW were compassionate, empathetic and extremely kind to the family. While cleaning out personal items, they'd put items aside that weren't damaged by fire/smoke/water, that were sentimental to the family. Example, photos, wall painting, Dads Notre Dame and Angels memorabilia, Great Grandma's grandfather clock etc. I believe other companies wouldn't have had the degree of compassion they had, and would have tossed these items. Most just want to come in, get the job done and leave. NOT AHW, they came with their hearts open and empathy shining through. I highly recommend AHW for all the reasons stated above: Professional, Honest, Dedicated, Ethical, Hard Working, Very responsive, Respectful; there's so many positive adjectives I can use for them and it still wouldn't be enough. If you don't believe me, do yourself a favor, if you're ever in need of this type of service, call AHW, I promise you won't be disappointed! Mike, Ray, Justin and Henry their compassion went beyond the family, it was also given to me as a friend/neighbor for over 22 years! read more

I had a serious issue with a leak from my upstairs toilet that was seeping through the ceiling into the room below. It was stressful seeing water damage spreading, but Affordable Home Works handled the situation with care. Henry quickly identified the problem area, removed the damaged drywall, and made sure everything was completely dry before starting repairs. you would never know there had ever been a leak. read more

We are a family of 4 and were in the Eaton fire. We were displaced for 3 months and AHW were an inexhaustible breath of fresh air. The staff, from Rachel on down are an outstanding team. I highly recommend this crew of good humans. read more

I had a leak in my ceiling thought it was the fire sprinkler system. Turned off the water and called AHW the next day. Mike and Ray came out that morning, Mike recommended not filing a claim as the damage was not to severe. Once we agreed on the work and cost. Ray and his team were out the next day and removed the damage. Ray and his team were great got the job done in two days. I had a vacation planned but Ray kept me in the loop via text putting my mind at ease. In addition Ray and his team cleaned up daily and I mean cleaned. Some contractors just leave a mess but not them. I cannot say enough about how happy I am with their service. read more

My GLOWING recommendation for Affordable Home Works. May 23rd the upstairs toilet backed up and overflowed. Came downstairs to find the ceiling raining hard. Called homeowners insurance and they asked if the neighbors had plumbing issues, if the city was working on the streets, trees..."Ok I've seen The Incredibles cartoon I know what you're doing trying to avoid coverage. It's 8:30 am I called you first not the neighbors. The city isn't working in the area and all our trees were removed in 2014 from the last drought!" Oh no mam I'm just trying to get you the right adjuster... ". Do you have recommendations of companies you work with I don't know the process in 30 years this is my first call to insurance. No mam we don't. Called my beloved plumber but he was 2 weeks backed up. Found a plumber from my city Facebook group that was self recommending... (unhappy w them but that's another story) the company that plumber recommended Clear Coast did do an amazing job at the start with the clean up, calling daily getting in a company for asbestos removal and drying out the walls and ceiling. They told me on June 26 that I would be called July 5th by their builder to get that phase started. July 8th I call having heard nothing... July 20 he shows up, takes measurements and grumbles "Don't know why I'm here ..." I kept asking about adding upgrades that the insurance wouldn't cover and asking about when do we get to design. His reply was you can always try to get another contractor ... by middle of August he says he may be able to start at end of October. He then stopped replying to my texts. I'm frantic and called in AHW. The owner Michael Canahai heard my story. He didn't bad mouth the other company and instead told me what he and his company do to be the most efficient. He sent out Josh an amiable Project manager who looked over the site and stated that the insurance company was not in line at all of what the project of this size required and would be fighting w them about the bottom line. He noted all the upgrades I wanted above the damage coverage and gave me a reasonable estimate. I signed 2 days later. They fought the insurance company and DOUBLED the cost coverage from them. I easily concede I'm now at the point of crazy fear of Covid supply line delays etc. etc. and started texting 63 days to Thanksgiving. 58 days... They assured me and started exactly as they stated Sept 26 drywall delivered! Every time there was a snag my bottom line is complete is better than aesthetics. I wanted blue cabinets but not all pieces available so espresso was our second choice and in stock. The kitchen had a recess I didn't want so I trusted their knowledge on light placement. OMG they moved the island 6 inches north and the coordinating stove hood and the flow in the room is amazing.(Prior company told it couldn't be done?!?) Paint color, just take a sample of what we had and that's what we got. The workers were all hard working direct let's get this job done and fix any issues. I added a smart lock to use for when I couldn't be there and they always communicated when they were expecting to come by so I could lock the dogs out of the house into the backyard. This was our first large scale construction experience and even though it was forced on us by the damage we trooped along with the experiences. I'm still in complete awe at the results. If I could adopt all of these guys as our own I would be so very proud of them all. I've included 50 before during and after shots read more

We kept getting mice in our kitchen and couldn't figure out where they were coming from. Decided to gut the kitchen and seal all the walls and called Affordable Home Works and we are very glad we did! Mike was super helpful and quick to provide a digital layout based on the design we wanted. They were able to compete the entire job in just a few weeks and met their deadline to have it done before we were set to host Thanksgiving. I was very impressed with the company as a whole but the owner Mike really took time to communicate with me and my wife and ensure we were taken care of. Ed - one of the construction guys was also very friendly and is a master at his craft. He also had great suggestions when we were stuck on a decision. I would highly recommend this company to anyone with an insurance claim or simply wanted a room remodeled. read more

We had a water leak in the upstairs bathroom, which caused water damage throughout the majority of the upstairs, moderate repairs downstairs and flooding in the garage. We met with Mike, owner of Affordable Home Works, for a consultation. We were impressed with Mike's knowledge and hired his company to complete the repairs. They renovated the bathroom, flooring throughout the upstairs level, garage and an assortment of other household repairs, which included painting, plumbing and electrical. Affordable Home Works employees were OUTSTANDING. They were professional, knowledgeable and honest. They completed the work in a timely fashion and were responsive to our request. I highly recommend Affordable Home Works for residents interested in renovations or repairing their homes due to any type of damage. Joe F. read more

"MUST READ" I hired Affordable home works for a remodeling project of my kitchen and bathroom. What started out as a remodel job turned into a remodel/restoration job. I'll get straight to the point, AHW is it! This company can do virtually anything you want for a home remodel or restoration. Our project was completed a few weeks ago and I can't tell you how incredibly pleased my wife and I are with the work. Ed who was the main individual working all of the tile, electrical, plumbing, etc was perfect. Ed is a Jack of all trades and a master of them as well, he was fantastic and really knew what to do and how to apply our ideas to the plan to make them a reality. We also worked with Josh, one of the project managers And he was all terrific. Josh was always available to answer questions and keep us abreast on the progress and anything related to the job. I can't forget about the owner Michael, he is the man that makes it all happen. Mike isn't just the owner who sits behind a desk, he was at our residence whenever we ran into a issue and resolved everything in a timely manner. Our family enjoyed the experience working with AHW because Mike is a genuine individual who cares about his companies work and definitely knows what he's doing. The whole entire crew that worked on my house were hard working HONEST individuals. Mike is not going to cut corners and or feed you a bunch of BS, he is simply the BEST! The highlight of what Mike and AHW can do is in the insurance portion of any claim. Give AHW a chance and I promise you that you won't be disappointed. To all my fellow Veterans out there, don't even look any further and don't hesitate, you won't be disappointed. read more

My home was renovated due to a horrible leak in the roof. Basically my entire home in shambles and I didn't know where to turn.

I didn't know anything about this process and he did amazing in helping me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Mike, the owner, was so kind, strait forward and worked with my insurance to get me the repairs I needed and to restore my home to tip top shape.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I have a historic home and they did am amazing job keeping the authentic feel while also making some upgrades that really tied the home together. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also wanted to shout out Ray, he was so nice and helpful through the repairs. Always communicating and really made me feel comfortable with the whole repair process.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I couldn't recommend AHW more. If I could give them 100 I would. read more

Backstory-I was home for a couple weeks staying with my parents because I live in Hawaii now. And unfortunately I came home to my parents house having a leak and water damage so it ruined our fun for the moment. I was so so happy I called this company to come take a look and take care of the mess! They were very professional and accommodating and got the job done promptly. I liked that they were able to connect with us too and you can tell they really care about their customers. I actually called one company before them and they sounded like they hated their job and were in no way wanting to come take a look the same day at the issue. Definitely glad it all worked out for us and were able to work with them! The results were great and the prices were reasonable. read more

Dealing with insurance companies is never an easy task but Michael Canahai with his knowledge and experience was able to negotiate with the adjusters to get the full amount needed to completely renovate my bathroom. Although as with any Reno there were some glitches but nothing we couldn't work through. All the people who he contracts have their specialty carpenter, painter, plumber, tile installer and they're all professionals at what they do. I love the option of choosing my own materials tile and grout color vanity paint color towel racks and accessories. Even when I forgot about soap dishes Michael told me to go find some and had them installed next day. I'm so glad I chose Affordable Home Works. They made a promise to fully restore my bathroom to my total satisfaction. Mission accomplished Affordable Home Works! read more
