I would absolutely recommend and highly suggest his craftsmanship to anyone!

He installed and we painted, since he let us know it would cost a lot more to have him do it. I really appreciated his candor. He also was able to adapt a piece of plywood to cover the large holes left by our electrician, so we could still mount our tv above the fireplace.

I had booked him for services to fix my toilet and install a garbage disposal. He had mentioned he was working another job at the same time and said he'll come back for the garbage disposal.

Although i liked his work, he couldn't help to reduce the cost. I'll take my business elsewhere. We all get screwed over at some point i thought this guy would work with me but nope.

He refinished the table and chairs a few years ago, and this year (2022) I asked him to refinish the buffet. I'm the third generation to enjoy this set, and I was hoping to leave it to my heirs--but it's not a set anymore! The buffet is MUCH darker than the table, and Scott has not taken responsibility. He has blamed the wood (they are made from the same wood) and bleaching from the sun (the table isn't in the sun), and his constant refrain is "I used the same stain." He should have noticed as he was working that the results were much darker than the original or at least that the exterior was much darker than the interior. Scott eventually said that he would have to strip it back down and redo it. I agreed and offered to send a table leaf for reference, but now he's not even responding to email. I'm afraid my next step is small claims court.

When the day of came I got a phone call explaining some concerns that they had about the job and they offered multiple solutions. They were a little bit more expensive than some of the other companies I reached out to, but they differentiated themselves with their professionalism, prompt communication, and incredible quality of service.

Breach of contract - He promised me a "senior citizen discount," which he mentioned several times. A discount would be a reduction in the normal price. Without telling me or asking for my OK, he removed part of the necessary work from the contract. Yes, he reduced the price a very small amount, but removed some of the work that we had agreed upon. After I got mad, he created a new invoice to get this work done. Only, he added on much more money to the new invoice. There was no discount on anything. He lied. 2. No refund of customer deposits - On his computer system you pay "retainer fees" to get an appointment scheduled. He does not inform the customer that it is non-refundable. I paid on April 20, 2026 $284.67 and June 29, 2026 $276.38 for a total of $561.05. He pocketed the money and refused to refund it. 3. Exterior painting - On the second invoice he charged $600 and left 1/3 of the painting undone. I complained, and there was no response. 4. He broke one of my phone jacks, rendering it unusable, and made no offer to fix it.

He was…read moredifficult to talk to on the phone, because he talked over me & didn't seem to comprehend anything I was saying to him without my explaining it several times. After booking my appointment weeks in advance (he couldn't get me in sooner than that?), he was a COMPLETE NO-SHOW. Apparently, even my texting him earlier on the same day of that first missed appointment didn't make him realize that we had an appointment that day. After he didn't show, I called him, & he rescheduled for the very next day (why did it take him weeks to get me in before?). And then he canceled the SECOND appointment an hour or two before the appointment window was ending, so effectively, a no-show 2 days in a row. (I had taken 2 days off work for him.) He told me he "didn't do" the floor repairs I needed an estimate of, though he had scheduled me for exactly that in the first place, & prior to the FIRST missed appointment, he already had photos of my flooring. Then he never texted back after just telling me he wouldn't help me. His communication was consistently slow or absent. One of the worst parts was that when I wrote a complaint about him on Yelp, he had the nerve to reply & say he had never heard of me & that we had never done business together, not realizing I've got ALL the receipts--incoming & outgoing phone calls to his phone number, and texts showing exactly what he said to me & when he said it--he even signed his name to those texts. When I called him out on his outright lies, telling him I could prove it, he literally immediately deleted & rewrote his reply to me to be all sweet and apologetic, which REPLACED the answer where he basically called me a liar & said he had no idea who I was and that we had never been in contact. (He replied that to someone else awhile back, too. Makes me think that was a lie as well.) Ilya is a DOUBLE NO-SHOW, an outright liar, & a real piece of work. SUPER shady.

This was a complex project; everything was being redone on the first floor as well as an addition of 550sf internal and 350sf external. We raised ceilings, changed walls, added new windows, or took windows away, added new electrical service and panel necessary for the upgrade, new plumbing including the yard for landscaping. This was a massive project. Bo Dodson demonstrated a high level of professionalism, skill, and reliability throughout the entire project. From the initial planning stages to the completion of the project and exhibited a keen attention to detail with a commitment to delivering high-quality results. One of the standout qualities of All Aces is their attention to detail. Bo ensured any of the subs working on our project had the same level of quality as he expected. This helped us know we were in good hands and didn't have to worry things were not going to be done right the first time. In addition to their technical skills, All Aces exhibited a strong work ethic and a positive attitude throughout the collaboration. They were focused on delivering a successful outcome and were able to communicate professionally when I asked the dumb questions. All Aces worked with me on several necessary changes that came up during the project. It's all good on paper until construction starts and the walls and ceilings are opened. Bo is always willing to go the extra mile to ensure the project's success. If you are looking for someone you can trust that will work their heart and soul into your project, look no further, I wholeheartedly recommend All Aces Construction for any future projects. Their professionalism and commitment to delivering outstanding results make them an invaluable asset. If you have any further questions or require additional information, please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, Chris H
