Alex was pleasure to work with. He's easy going, honest, has a lot of ideas, and the cost was reasonable. He renovated my bathroom and quality was flawless. I only gave him a general idea of what I wanted and he told me what is best and what to order. I had to go to the hospital in the middle of it and he put the entire job on hold and didnt charge me anything extra even though i repeatedly insisted. I definitely recommend him and want him to do future renovations in my apartment. -Chris read more

AIS Repairs & Renovations - Full Bathroom Renovation - General Contractors Near Me

Great team and best service with amazing finishing and amazing quality in work highly recommended AIS repairs

Working with Alex from AIS was a wonderful experience. He is honest, meticulous, and great to work with. He has a polite demeanor and easily approachable. His crew always showed up when he said they would. Alex always answered our calls or returned our messages promptly. This was a huge issue with past contractors. The only issue I had was his time estimation, which he tended to under-estimate. But unfortunately, that is expected in this industry. We did a two condo apartment combination, gut renovation of the addition, kitchen removal of the addition (capping of gas lines and water pipes), and kitchen renovation in original apartment. With any issue that would arise, he would promptly address and fix. Would I use him again? Yes, in a heart beat. read more

We are thrilled with what Alex and his team did in our apartment! I found AIS (Alex) on Yelp after talking with 5 different contractors and not loving everything they offered. After reading all of the reviews for AIS, I loved the comments and pictures of his work so decided to reach out - and now I'm paying it forward by leaving a review of my own. We had a long initial phone call - he walked my husband and I through EVERYTHING. His price was fair, along with his timeline. We initially started with just renovating the bathroom which he told us would take 3-4 weeks. We trusted him with the work he was doing and the knowledge he had, so we ended up adding on replacing all of the doors and painting the entire apartment! This added on time to the project - but that was entirely on us. Throughout the process, whenever we had a question about something or something needed to be fixed, he made sure his team was on it. It's hard to find someone in NYC that isn't ridiculously overpriced and does good work. We were lucky to find alex and his team and we love the result! read more

**STOP LOOKING** "Alex and AIS Repairs & Renovations should be your contractor!" The wife and I decided to do a complete renovation of our 600 sqft apartment in Manhattan in August 2020. This included replacing our squeaky and uneven wood floors (and sub-floor), complete kitchen renovation, replacing the steam-heat covers, A/Cs, mud-area, doors, LED lighting, wall removal, and paint all -around. We interviewed around 5 different contactors, some with specific specialties in wood floors, or just kitchens, or just paint, and found that Alex and AIS not only provided us a very competitive price, but walked us through every aspect of the process, was very professional, and worked with us on materials, discussing the pros/cons of our choices. Alex and his team handled all the communication with the Board, management company, and the super of our building, following all COVID protocols and ensuring all parties fully understood the work...what a pro! The work started mid August and was planned to finish in 6-8 weeks, around the end of September. The project actually ended two weeks behind schedule, not due to anything Alex did, but his cabinet maker having to re-do a cabinet was wasn't perfect. And Alex made sure everything was perfect. At the end of the day the total cost of the renovation was around $45k and turned out perfect! Others wanted close to $100k...are you kidding me?! Again, if you are looking for a contactor that you can trust, look no further and just hire AIS! read more

AIS renovated my apartment at upper west side in 2016. It was great to work with Alex. He is honest. The price is fair. I really appreciate his help even after so many years. Last week I had a plumbing question. I contacted Alex. He replied my calls and massages promptly until I was all set. It is really hard to find a so responsible contractor in NYC! read more

Working with Alex and his team was one of the best decisions my husband and I could've made with our kitchen renovation earlier this year. Since our apartment building is over 100 years old there were a lot of complications (i.e. active gas pipes in the walls and ceilings, curved corners, dumbwaiter, amateur electrical work, old water pipes, lack of outlet/light switch, etc) and we wanted to make sure we brought in someone who was able to tackle these issues with confidence. When we first met with Alex he came by with his designer and took meticulous notes and measurements in his notebook, taking note of our vision and ideal layout (including new builds and features) and most importantly our budget. Within 24 hours he sent out a full mock-up of the proposed kitchen design and a full cost breakdown. We reached out to 3-4 other contractors and no one came even close to the level of service and detail - it was a no brainer for us and the easiest decision we've made when it came to our home. The president of our co-op and our super also requested to meet with Alex to make sure he understood the full history of the building and what would need their approval and Alex obliged, instilling full confidence in them as well before the project began. Alex and his team were always on time, professional, and respectful of our space; our super would stop by from time to time to inspect the work (since we were at work during the daytime) and he said he could tell the workers employed by Alex were skilled and familiar with renovation best practices. Overall, we couldn't be happier with our renovation with Alex and his team and we feel incredibly lucky to have had such a non-stressful beginning-to-end experience. The before and after pictures can speak for themselves. Highly recommend! read more

We purchased a coop unit in Jackson Heights Queens that needed to be fully renovated. I knew I needed to find someone to help me to renovate the bathrooms, electrical, wood floors, and some parts of the kitchen. After finding AIS Repairs & Renovations and speaking to Alex, I knew I had found the right person for the job because of the way he talked me through his process. He helped me get through the coop approval board by providing the necessary paperwork required to get the green light and start the work. I worked with Alex to plan out exactly what needed to be done for our two bathrooms as well as the other areas in the apartment. I really appreciated his flexibility and patience during the entire process as some things deviated from the original plan. My coop building had strict guidelines for the work and Alex's team followed them all. The entire common area was protected using Masonite boards to prevent any damage during demolition and garbage removal. His team also helped me get rid of the old appliances which would have been a big headache for me to do on my own. Alex fully renovated our two bathrooms from start to finish and we are very satisfied with the results. It's modern, simple and fits our style. Javier was assigned to my project and was there daily. He was nice and it was a pleasure working with him. His tile work is excellent and precise. The wooden floors were in bad conditions and Aldo, Alex's floor guy, helped fix it. The floors turned out amazing. Willy, Alex's electrician, helped run all new electrical lines for the kitchen and converted the old fuse box to a new breaker panel. It was also fun having Willy around. He was easy to talk to. Alex's plumber, Gabriel, also helped me with water/gas plumbing in the kitchen and appliance hookup. His team moved the gas line to where the new stove would be which we originally thought was not going to be possible. I was so happy that they were able to do that as it meant that I did not have to change my kitchen plans. Finally Gabriel helped me setup a rather complicated kitchen faucet which was a pain, I imagine, to install. Overall, I would highly recommend Alex and his crew at AIS Repairs & Renovations for your next project. read more

This is the most unreliable company I have ever dealt with. They will lie to you endlessly especially when it comes to time frame of the project. They overbook projects so don't be surprised if they tell you that your project will take 3 months but in reality it will end up taking 6 months as it did for me. Had endless issues with this company: -Installed wrong tile layout -Tried to hide chipped tiles they had broken by glue small pieces back like we wouldn't know -Dented and damaged floor boards (they tried to cover up with mixed unknown filler and now it looks extra yellow and rough on the floor) -Didn't level out the concrete as promised and now the floor boards are cracking, snap, and poping -The bathroom faucet fixer is loose -They broke many tiles, which resulted us buying more tiles. -They glued broken tiles to cover up their mistakes. -Grout in undesired multiple colors which we did not asked for -Bumpy paint on the ceiling and walls -They do not know quality, only quantity. I do not recommend this unprofessional company/contractor. Am still considering taking them to court for all the damages and mistakes we are experiencing. read more

I'm glad that I found Alex and AIS Renovations. Years of exposure to steam and mold had severely damaged the ceiling and walls of the bathroom of my condo in Jackson Heights. There was even damage to the ceiling of the foyer outside the bathroom. Also, a cracked sink top needed to be replaced. Alex and his team did an amazing job. They exceeded my expectations and went beyond what I thought could even be possible. The quality of the work is outstanding. Something rarely seen these days. And everything was done within the estimated time frame and the estimated budget. Not one cent more. I highly recommend Alex and AIS Renovations. read more

They have been performing construction without a permit at my next door neighbor's apartment for almost a month now. The permit expired 12/31, and it's now 1/20. A nightmare. And you would think that if a construction crew performs construction work without a permit, they would do so quietly. Nope. They blare loud music throughout the day. It's a nuisance of a company. Update: Things to note in the owner's response: 1. Even though I didn't provide an address, he says he'll look into the music. This means that he either knows it's an issue already or plans to...check every site he's working on for music? To me, this indicates that he knows which property I'm talking about, which further reinforces that he... 2. Knowingly has been doing construction with an expired permit, as he acknowledges when he states that the lapse must be because of the new year (if this happens every year, he, as a contractor, isn't shocked about this lapse and knows that he needs to get his permits in order or halt construction until he has a permit). As of writing this update to the review (after he has seen my original review and knows full-well that the permit is expired), the construction is still going on next door...just as loud as it has been. Unless he got a same-day permit, he's knowingly committing a crime right now as a contractor by continuing construction without a valid permit. Update: three days later, still no permit, and the music is louder than before. This guy just spews lies. read more

AIS helped us completely renovate 2 bathrooms, as well as add fixtures and electrical to the kitchen. Alex was amazing, he has restored my faith in contractors after a few recent bad experiences. Simply stated, he was professional, honest and fair, and I could not have asked for anyone better. Throughout the entire duration of the project, he was also very patient and I felt I could always reach out to him with any questions. If I needed him to stop by to discuss anything in person he made himself available, as busy as he is. His crew was also amazing. They are superstars in my opinion, and showed great attention to detail. They did not get annoyed or impatient with my many questions, and always asked me for input no matter how small the decision might appear to be. If I was ever unsure, we would all discuss the pros and cons of all the options, such as direction of tiles, or placement of the hand shower head. Overall I highly recommend AIS. Thank you, Alex! read more

He is very experienced checked in often to make sure all the small details were right. We had a very complicated renovation, but Alex had great recommendations and advice on what changes were possible / worth doing. Most importantly, Alex picked up every single one of our calls and texted us back within minutes. Highly recommend Alex and his team! -------------------- In addition to the bathroom renovation, Alex also helped us build a custom TV media console with a built in electric fireplace and LED lights! read more

We closed on buying our apartment in the middle of the pandemic when cases had taken a downturn and NY was still closed. The apartment seemed like it had never been renovated or maybe since the 70s due to the décor, we wanted a fresh modern look which meant we had to gut out the kitchen and the two bathrooms. Prior to the board approval, we had four quotations and had discussed with all the contractors and it was a matter of making a decision of who to move on with. Alex came on top of the list and the criteria we used to make a decision was based on confidence, knowledge, resume and cost. Renovations started early in June and Alex had a whole team working on each and every corner of the apartment. We did not go with a designer as it would have consumed time which we didn't have and cost which we wanted to save on. Alex is very communicative and any challenge we had designing or buying the fixtures and fittings he supported the process. He communicated how soon he required items i.e. tiles, bathroom fixtures, paint color, appliances etc. He was available to us almost 14hrs a day discussing solutions to challenges he faced in the renovations. Every evening we went over to the apartment to see the progress and we had a chance to interact with his team who were friendly and provided brief updates on what they were doing. The stairs and hallway into the apartment were not cleaned perfectly initially though after the floors were sanded the cleanliness improved. After hearing horror stories from friends and neighbors how long their renovations took we can only say the opposite. The renovations took slightly longer than 2 months with the tight schedule that we had which was amazing compared to one contractor who budgeted 4 months for the same job. We definitely recommend AIS Renovations you will definitely be pleased with the outcome. read more

I called and left a message. I never got a call back. A week later I called again and got someone on the phone. I asked for a quote for work and I was asked to email pictures and the information over. On 2/12 a few hours after the call I emailed them and I never heard back. Strange way to run a business. There are plenty of responsive contractors to work with, so don't waste your time bothering trying to reach AIS. read more

Let me start off this review by saying that I am a perfectionist and am extremely detail oriented. I searched through YELP and found that AIS Repairs had over 40 reviews with most of them being 5 star reviews. I was intrigued and called Alex to schedule a meeting. He arrived on time and prepared with his Marble notebook to take copious notes on what I wanted done. I was impressed by how professional, articulate, and clear he was when we discussed our project. He knows how to breaks down things in a way that most people who know nothing about plumbing, electricity, and basically anything to do with construction will understand. Let me share that I interviewed a total of 11 contractors before I decided on Alex. Only Alex and one other contractor provided me with an itemized estimate of everything I wanted done. Most contractors that I dealt with would just throw out a 5 figure estimate without itemizing the cost of each task involved in the project. This is extremely helpful when trying to compare estimates from different contractors. Based on his reviews and professionalism, I chose Alex to renovate my two bathrooms. Even though they are both small in size, it was a huge undertaking given the large scope of my project. Both bathrooms were completely demolished, required new green wall boarding and all of the walls were tiled from the floor to the ceiling. I had a lot of complex components installed in my shower bathroom which consisted of a rain shower, regular shower, hand held shower with adjustable arm, and four body sprays, as well as, a toilet with a washlet and towel warmer. In the second bathroom, they had to replace the tub and tiled the front of the tub in a herringbone pattern using mother of pearl tiles. I would say that Alex is moderately priced. There are some cheaper contractors than him but I have learned that cheap means you end up paying more in the end. Throughout the entire project, Alex was always available to communicate with me, took the time to listen to my concerns, helped me decide which products to use, and offered me suggestions I hadn't thought of. I am so happy that he talked me out of tiling the ceiling. Sure it would have been more money for him, but that's not what Alex is about. He takes pride in his work and helping his clients achieve their dream bathroom. When I was out of town for a week, he would face-time me to ask me how I wanted my tiles laid out. He did not rush through my renovation to maximize his profit. If something went wrong, which things always will, he made sure to make things right. For instance, I bought a towel warmer that was too large for the bathroom and the door bumped into it. Alex did not hesitate to take down the tile warmer and retile that section to fit a smaller tile warmer. He is also very honest and respectful to women. One time I overpaid him, and he returned the money to me and asked me to recount it and I was over by a few hundred dollars. I was so impressed by how his guys tiled my bathrooms that I asked him to tile my kitchen. My kitchen tiles turned out be more complex than Alex had estimated and took much more time to clean off the excess grout because of all of the grooves. Despite the time and work, Alex did not try to charge more money for it. Of course, I did the right thing and let him keep the money for not tiling one of my bathroom ceilings to make up the difference. It has been three months since we finished our projects and I am extremely happy with the quality of the work AIS did in my apt. If you just look at a pic of my outlets, you will see how all of the screw grooves are aligned. I appreciate this attention to detail. Alex and his crew try to do things right and make the whole process a pleasant experience. Unlike other contractors, he is always available when you need him and checks on his crew daily. I could go on and on about home much I enjoyed working with them but I don't think you want to read much more. I feel I most share one more experience. I had three separate crews working on my apt at the same time and his crew was courteous towards the others even when the others weren't. They knew how to share space and communicate with each other. I will definitely call on Alex again for any future projects. read more

Very knowledgeable service tech and prompt responses. (Called around 9 pm - someone was here by 9 the next morning).)

My wife and I were looking to remodel the bathroom in our Kew Gardens co-op. Searching for a good contractor is difficult on its own, but finding one who can provide all the documentation and required licenses for a co-op Board to approve provides an additional level of complexity. Many of the contractors I reached out to were very slow in responding and providing quotes, until I found Alex and AIS. He responded to my inquiry very quickly and scheduled time to stop by to check out the bathroom. When Alex came to scope out the work, he told us exactly what would be required in great detail. He also promised to send a quote with an itemized document highlighting all the work needed the next day. Knowing the response time of the contractors I had been in touch with, I was very skeptical. However, the very next day I received that documentation. It was extremely organized and particularly helpful in understanding how the quote was constructed. It was also a huge help in describing the scope of the work to our Board, limiting the number of questions they had during the approval process. Alex also stressed that the quote is his price and that he would not be adjusting it at all if we went with him. This was a point he stressed multiple times, and was 100% true. There were no surprise fees or costs at the end of the job. After witnessing Alex's professionalism, attention to detail, and his fast response time, we knew we found our contractor. The Board approval process was extremely simple with Alex. I provided him with the Building's Alteration Agreement, and I received all required licenses and Certificates of Insurance in a timely manner. There was no missing documentation that I needed to go back and get from him, and the Certificate of Insurance documents were provided correctly. This allowed us to very quickly get the approval we needed. Alex and his staff also did a great job of communicating with our building staff, including doormen and the Super. There were no surprises or complaints from building management, staff, or our neighbors during the entire job. The job itself also went well, and Alex's crew is extremely professional and hard working. The job was a complete remodel, including demolition, new walls, tiling, the works. It took 3 weeks, and they showed up around 8:30 AM every morning, and did not leave until around 5:30-6. The workers did a great job of keeping the place as clean as they could. They covered up the floors with cardboard, and the doorways/entrances with plastic to limit the amount of dust that moved throughout the apartment. They even covered up the hallway on our floor. 2 of our neighbors actually mentioned that they were impressed with how diligent they were in keeping it clean. Every aspect of the job went well, from the demo, the plumbing, to the tiling. After our last payment was made, we noticed a few minor items that needed touching up: there was a small leak from the shower doors, so some additional silicone needed to be added around our shower door. The cardboard that was placed to protect our wood floors was placed with blue tape, which also pulled off the finishing in some spots. Alex had someone come the very next day to fix the floors and the leak. If I had to give one piece of constructive criticism, that would be the communication around our project's completion date. At the beginning of our second week of work, we were told that the job would be complete on Thursday, with finishing touches on Friday. That was then moved to Friday, with finishing touches on Monday. The job ended up going into the next week, and finishing up on Friday. It took 3 weeks total. However, Alex offered to provide us with a hotel room and to stop by over the weekend and temporarily set up the shower. We were lucky enough to be staying with my parents, so didn't take him up on those offers, but I was extremely impressed that he offered. At the end of the day, we personally had no issue with the time it took to complete the job. This is a major job that requires care. Alex's guys were by no means working slowly. They got there early, worked late, and were working the entire day. The job just ended up taking slightly longer than anticipated. My #1 priority was high-quality work, which is what we received. I just would have preferred a general estimate on completion date instead of an exact date (e.g. we are aiming to wrap up the tiling Thursday and finish Friday, but there's also a possibility we stretch into next week vs. a firm "tiles will be done Thursday and finishing touches Friday.") Bottom line: There is no doubt that I would go straight to Alex for any other work I need to do in the future, and I highly recommend him. read more

High end renovation: as good as it gets. We were looking for a contractor who could do a high end renovation of our bathroom. After a diligent search, we selected Alex for the job. My father is a retired contractor, so I have seen my share of good and bad work in the day (as my dad would point out when he would go on a renovation project). One of the tests that I applied was to take the contractors to the other bathroom in the house and let them point out what in their view could have been done better (we just bought the house). A number of things I had already identified, were also identified by Alex, and then some. We also found Alex to be very knowledgeable and very much aware what needed to happen 'behind the walls' in order to make the project successful and without leaks. His team applied three water barrier methods in the shower alone to ensure it would never ever leak. We finally found him to be open and honest, since we had some fancy ideas (like installing smart/privacy glass) and he indicated that he had never done that but would work with us to get it done (note: now he has done it). His price was fair and we got the receipts from all materials (so none of the usual mark up or discount that goes straight into the contractor's pocket). Alex started with a detailed quote and told us it was all inclusive (that was the price and if there were some things discovered while opening up the walls etc it was all in that price (if you have ever gone through a construction, there are always unexpected things that happen so this was a great reassurance (just imagine, would you want to be in a situation where your bathroom floor/wall is ripped open and the contractor says... well we didn't expect to find a problem with your drain/pipes and its going to cost you $$ extra). As to the job; Alex and his team did a truly amazing job. They covered the floors, stairs and walkway they were going to use during the construction to avoid any damages. I checked in every day on progress and was impressed with the level of quality and detail that was put into the work. His team was friendly, arrived on time, clean, and most important did a great job. We had to alter some things while doing the project (different toilet due to drain location, equalize floor) and that all went very smooth and at no charge. When we wanted something extra (towel heater connections, glass cabinet with backlit shelves) we received a very good and transparent price. The team also assisted me with some minor things in the house I was working on all at no charge. They cleaned up after the project and we are left with an amazing bathroom. Could not have done it without Alex and his team and he is definitely my go-to-contractor for anything else in the future and for recommendations to people that are looking for a good and reliable contractor. Alex was always available before and during the whole project, communicates very well and clear and his team leader Chris is stellar. If you are going to renovate your bathroom, put Alex on the list of contractors you should talk to. You won't regret it. He delivers high quality work for a very reasonable price (but the high quality of the work is the most important). read more

I'd first like to thank my fellow yelpers for just getting this one right. I clogged my sink about a week ago and had NO IDEA how to go about finding a plumber but of course when in doubt, yelp it out. After a bit of research I came across perfect reviews for Alex and the work he does. After reading the other reviews I decided to call and he said he was just finishing up and a job and could be at my house within a half hour! Considering I had to be at work in a few hours I was extremely greatful. On the phone he was pleasant, courteous and extremely accomodating. The place I called a week before gave me attitude, seemed like they didn't want the business and told me I would have to pay double time because it was the weekend. Alex was the complete opposit of that douche. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and reasonably priced. Once he got to my house he took care of my clog, explained everything and gave me some friendly advice as to how to avoid having this happen in the future. While talking to him as he unclogged my sink that had not one but two hug clogs we got to talking and he does it ALL. Sheet rock, plastering, iron work, electrical, etc. You name it, he can do it. The list goes on. Should I have any isues with anything around the house I know who I'm calling without hesitation. I'm already considering having him come back to fix a light that's out in one of my rooms. If you want an all purpose handyman who in the short time i've gotten to know him is trustworth, honest, and is looking out for your best interest, Alex is your man!! Though I've never done plumbing I have done carpentry and electrical and I have to say it's rare to find someone with such Integrity who goes out of his way to do the best possible job. If that wasn't enough to sell you his prices will be cheaper than any other handyman/carpenter/plumber/electrician you'll find and he's willing to come to you at ANYTIME during the day/night. Alex was Superb and I was just overall blown away by the services. I saved his number in my phone and if I need anything around the house he's my first call! read more

There seems to be a general consensus on this page which I can also attest to: Alex at AIS Repairs is awesome. I was out of the country and one of my tenants called about a big, messy leak. It was a Sunday morning and my other repairmen were unavailable so I sought help from the good people at yelp. I was impressed with Alex's reviews and contacted him. He was at my property within 2 hours. He quickly diagnosed the problem (a corroded steam pipe in the ceiling) and offered a solution at a reasonable rate. He went to work right away and kept steady communication with me - reassuring me and updating me throughout the process. The job was finished within hours and my tenants (and I) were able to rest easy Sunday evening. I really appreciate Alex's friendly attitude, professionalism, expediency and honesty. I will consider using him for all my future repairs/ renovations. Thanks yelpers. read more

After 18+ months of searching for a contractor to remodel my bathroom, I finally came upon Alex of AIS. I've had several contractors walk through in that period, none of which I feel were as knowledgeable nor as giving with there advise or ideas. Alex had a genuine trustworthiness about him and that to me was important, not to mention he understood that I was looking for --a period 1920's feel and that, I had a very clear idea of what exactly I wanted. The job was a total gut to the studs and rebuild; only the bathtub remained that too because it was period and at Alex's recommendation we had it reglazed. The crew that he surrounds himself with are not only professional but also have great pride in the work they do. I've read Jose's (tile masters) name in a couple of reviews here and I add my voice to the chorus - he's very good at what he does! Chris the foreman on the job was super accommodating and always willing to iron out the creases as they came up -which in truth weren't many and mostly it was me wanting things done a certain way (normally harder) to get the exact look I wanted. The tile, shower and other such products I purchased were all from Alex's recommended stores and sites: he was always at hand to answer any questions or concerns and worked hard to fix any surprises/issues that came up. I had about six serious quotes which ranged from $10k - $17k. Alex fell in the middle and luckily as said there were no horrible surprises that came up - but had they have, I'm sure Alex would have done everything in his power for it to come out to my advantage above anything else. I couldn't be more happier with the remodel finish and the work done by his crew. There was a bit of a snafu with the shower door - which was contracted via his friend, and which will be changed out in the next weeks. Eyes closed, I'd hire AIS as long as Alex is in charge to do any work within the my home here and wherever else I may move. read more

Had our kitchen renovated last year, Alex from AIS came in and gave us an estimate, was willing to negotiate. Workers came in and tore out old kitchen fast, began work promptly. Very clean and respectful crew, very happy with the kitchen. I decided last minute to replace some of the old appliances and they hooked me up with them fast. Highly recommend this company! read more

Alex was a professional from the start. The itemized estimate was easy to follow. Alex was up front with all cost and clearly stated all the work that would be done during the renovation. Alex consulted with us during the renovation to ensure we would be happy with the end result. Through out the renovation Alex and his crew were pleasant and professional. The bathroom renovation came out great. There was a small leak from the shower door and Alex came out the next day to fix it immediately. I'm very happy with the way the bathroom came out. Alex and his guys were great. I would definitely recommend them. read more

We had a leak under our kitchen sink that was getting progressively worse over the past week. I called AIS to see if they had anyone available the same day to come take a look. Alex said he would be able to come by in the evening, take a look, assess the issue and give us an estimate before doing the work. As explained, he assessed the work and gave us an estimate and got to work. Alex replaced all of the ancient pipes under the sink and also told us we would need to replace the faucet because that was leaking as well (this we already knew, so we were in agreement). Even though it was late in the evening, he went over to Home Depot, text a picture of a faucet in out price range and what we mentioned we wanted, and was back at the apartment within 40 minutes to install. Our apartment is older and we knew changing pipes or doing anything really, is a difficult job. Alex, however, did the job quickly, went out himself to to pick out a great faucet and was professional and knowledgeable. Our kitchen needs quite a bit of work and we will not be shy in calling Alex again to do some of it. The prices were reasonable and we do not have an issue paying money for a job well done. All in all, we would recommend Alex and AIS to anyone and will be calling him again in the future for any repairs. read more

We had our entire bathroom gutted and everything installed brand new. Alex had a good estimate for the job and stuck to it. The fixtures were installed and included in the price, and he worked well with us as we adjusted some pieces during the job. The subway tiles look amazing and the marble pieces are luxurious. He was careful to clean up the site after working. The sink wasn't draining well about 3 days after the job was finished, so I called Alex. He came over the next morning and snaked the pipes for us. I'm not even sure that was related to his work, but he quickly fixed the issue for us. Most of all, my wife loves the new bathroom. read more

good and professional, after bad experiences they have shown me the light that you can trust other companies to help you out. They showed much dedication and integrity in their work. I recommend this place to anyone looking for renovations on anything or repairs or even a simple remodel!!! read more

I would like to start off by saying that Alex is every bit professional as his reviews state. He is quick, clean, and concise. He gave me the best case scenario for my situation and i felt confident using his advice. He was capable of showing up at my home the night i had issues, and was able to assess what needed to be done. Thanks again man. You were a life saver. read more

Alex and his crew did an excellent job scraping, plastering, skim coating, priming and painting our Condo in Sunnyside after some water damage from a flood 3 floors above us. He promptly gave us an estimate which was very fair. We scheduled a day time and he stuck to it. His crew was very professional, courteous, neat and clean. Alex came early to make sure expectations were clear to the crew and came back in the afternoon to make sure everything was done right. We would not hesitate to recommend A.I.S. to anyone. read more

Integrity- the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness. Integrity is the one word that I would use for Alex and his workers. The workers pay attention to detail and the bill is clear with no surprises (no hidden cost). Alex (the owner) provides you with all his credentials and paperwork before the job starts. This is a TOP NOTCH HONEST BUSINESS. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND AIS REPAIRS AND RENOVATIONS. I was stressed BEFORE I hired them, but once I signed the contract to renovate the bathroom I wasn't stressed anymore. Alex took over and I was totally stress free. (Not many people can say that when you redo a bathroom). I don't usually write reviews, I believe this is my second time writing one. By the way, the one thing that I was very impressed with is that Alex always picked up his phone and I always got a response from him. I'm so glad I found this company to do my bathroom renovation. read more

Had some sheet rocking and framing done with AIS and was a good experience. Alex was fair and professional, came and gave an estimate, wrote up a contract and delivered on schedule. His men did a good job and cleaned up after themselves. Project was delivered on time. Highly recommend AIS. read more

Incredibly fast, amazingly friendly, quick response, accurate upfront estimate, great work done. I decided to have a garbage disposal installed for the first time into my kitchen sink and within a couple of hours of calling AIS, Justin was at my apartment for an evaluation. Within 10 minutes he headed straight to Home Depot to buy the actual unit for me. He came right back and by that night it was installed. The next day Alex came to hook up all of the electrical and run all of the wiring, and I was set up completely. So thankful to AIS for the fantastic work, incredibly friendly attitude, and most of all the super quick turn around time, which is one of the most important things for me in any home improvement project. read more

At first I was apprehensive to call any plumber, I've never had to and was worried about being ripped off. After reading such great reviews I gave Alex a call! I had a few problems i needed fixing. FIrst was my kitchen sink.. he did a greatjob nothing to complain about. HOWEVER, we then spoke about replacing my laminate countertop, which he seemed more than confident to tackle. Alex then came up with another solution of re finishing it and assured me it would look better than new. I trusted him to complete the job with the supervision of my mother while i went to work. When i came home, my kitchen was a disaster!!! he got black paint and flecks of countertop stuff all over my kitchen, appliances, floor, wall, sink EVERYWHERE.. They dont come off. I asked him to touch it up because it was completely unacceptable. He then said he needed to go to Home Depot and pick up some thinner to remove this black countertop coating all over the floors.. He was gone for a long time... he finally returned with a bullshit story of how he got his phone stolen in the store and wasnt able to complete the job... He left with cost of materials and i was left with a huge mess ( black countertop coating and flecks EVERYWHERE) and terrible job, that i had to TRY to clean up myself. MY kitchen looks worse than before. ALex took on more than he could handle and had no other way of getting out of a sticky situation but lying and running away. Thanks for NOTHING! read more

They were too busy to do my job, but they emailed me back professionally to say so. 5 stars.

Alex and his crew are true professionals. They just finished a bathrooms renovation at our apartment and we are very pleased with the results. We are no newbies to renovations and have worked with a broad range of contractors before. The experience we had with this team was among the most pleasant ones. Alex listens and understands your concerns, does not cut corners and does not go for the shortcuts like most contractors do. He is very knowledgeable and whenever some of our ideas were hard to realize, he always provided a good and rational explanation about the obstacles and the alternative /better ways to achieve a similar result. We asked about a lot of things because we had a very clear picture of how it should look like at the ends, as well as plenty of ideas on how to make desirable things happen. Alex handled every concern and every request extremely seriously; every little detail was taken into consideration. I am attaching some of the pictures of our bathrooms. Everything was redone, the walls have been taken down and built anew, the tiles have been cut properly, with sharp and crisp (non-cloudy) edges, the grout has been selected based on a high-humidity environment in order to minimize the chances of mold. I would definitely recommend this team and will keep their contacts for my own projects in the future. read more

We had struggled to find a reputable local contractor for such a "small" job of renovating our master bathroom shower due to a faulty shower pan with shower pan, and floor/wall tile replacement. Based on the Yelp reviews we reached out to AIS Repairs and Renovations. Alex was a true professional with his free estimate and design ideas. All costs and schedule were laid out prior to work commencing. Although it took a couple of days longer than anticipated due to field conditions, the crew was clean and professional from demolition to final grouting. They even had their own cleaning person clean the bathroom and master bathroom from top to bottom from all construction dust. We were very happy with the end result of the master shower. read more
