Finished our basement:…read more Caleb and Brian did an amazing job consulting on and finishing our basement in Mechanicville. We love the final product. When we started the project and were shopping around getting quotes, Caleb did a few things to stand out from the rest. 1) He was cuteous and on time (super easy to do, but not everyone we met checked this simple box) 2) He offered ideas and suggestions that we never would have come up with ourselves 3) He made it clear all his work would be up to code and that they don't skip steps 4) They did 90% of the work themselves (a team came for the carpets) 5) He quickly followed up with a clear digital quote with everthing spelled out so we could make adjustments where needed. We ended up paying slightly over estimate after learning we needed an extension for our electrical box. We didn't encounter many delays, I think the biggest was the first coat of paint. It didn't dry overnight, so that slowed down the next day. Throughout the build, they went above and beyond in a number of ways: - Seeding (and re-seeing), watering and even weeding the lawn - Caleb took us out to shop for slabs giving lots of great input and advice (and the kids got to play with some chickens at the site!). - They gave us detailed breakdowns of pros/cons when choosing all materials / vanitey / outlets / vents / etc (I would assume something like this was common, but after showing family the basement, we have heard how their contractors never gave any input or advice on any decisions). - They have their own dumpster for the materials but it was also extremely helpful to get rid of junk from our basement We have a list of things we plan to do in the future both inside and outside, and we are 100% going to Caleb. If he isn't available, we will wait until he is.

Calvin did an amazing job fixing up our porch last year. Our neighbor even came by to say he could…read moresee how much effort Calvin was putting into making sure he did the job perfectly. His price was very fair and reasonable, he is extremely responsive, and the quality of work is superb. I would definitely recommend reaching out for your handyman needs.

On the strength of their Yelp rating online, several months ago I reached out to thsi ccompany for…read moresome work to be done around the house. I called them and didn't actually get to talk to the handyman person; instead, I talked to his assistant (who acted like an intermediary). He stressed that the repairman (Calvin I think was his name) was busy through at least a couple of weeks but that I should text some pictures of what we wanted done to a certain number and he would get back to us. I did as requested, but no response came. We followed up with additional emails, and then another call when I was told that Calvin was very busy but would get back to me. Two months later, and I haven't heard back from them. Would I love to hire them? Yes. Would I pay them to do the jobs we need? Yes! Will they ever get back to me? We shall see...

I trust AVT so completely that 2+ years after completing a total house renovation they still have the keys to the front door, so any additional work can be scheduled even when we're not home. All work has been guaranteed, all options explored, explained, so expectations are reasonable and achievable. I highly recommend AVT for all home construction work without reservation. Thank you for creating and maintaining the home of my dreams! And yes, this is a REAL review from a REAL customer, photos included. :)
