It was stressful to deal with, but luckily Karl and his crew (Rafael) were great. Another contractor never got back to me, but Karl got back quickly and offered a fair price. A few weeks later they got started and Rafael did an awesome job. They even fixed some old window issues for free. It took a few days, but you couldn't even tell anything happened to the wall after it was done. I won't hesitate to reach out for any other repair issues.

Chris listens to what you are wanting and often will not only make suggestions but also explains why. I have received many compliments on the this from not only family but friends also.

NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE!! I strongly caution anyone considering…read moreS&S Restoration to carefully read every document they ask you to sign before signing. My experience has been extremely frustrating and disappointing. Nearly three months ago, I asked their [former] rep at S&S Restoration about a potential roofing repair install. I was told I needed to sign a "service agreement" before they could provide an estimate. I signed based on that representation, expecting to receive a proposal. To this day, I still have not received an estimate. Despite numerous emails, phone calls, and requests for clarification for a cancellation they ignore any form. Now claim i owe them money. I repeatedly asked company's VP, Katie, and sales guy Perry to simply confirm cancellation of the paperwork but they remain silent which, now have attorney involved. *Four professional roofing companies inspected the roof and provide estimates. Not one asked to sign anything, nor clam a charge for inspecting the roof to give an estimate. My advice: be extremely careful about signing any documents, understand exactly what you are agreeing to, and ask questions before giving access to your home and, your insurance information.

I found this company on Yelp and picked them because of their experience with other waterfront properties. They tore down our old home and left a few walls to rebuild per new drawings from our architect. This included framing, siding, installation of windows/doors, front porch/back deck, stairs, interior flooring, installed cabinets, bathroom tile, trim/crown molding, closet organizers, remodeled garage, fence, etc... the list goes on. I just show Phil a picture of what we want and he builds it. The owner Phil Novak and his family have become great friend through this project. I've trust him with a key to our house because he treats it like it's his own. Many of my neighbors, friends and family now use this company. They did an awesome remodel of my neighbor's boat house on Petite Lake. Treat him and his team with respect and they will take good care of you.

I said 20 bucks? He said No $20,000. For a 32"x32" basic shower! I worked in the trades my whole life and Im now a home inspector this just blew me away! This shower should cost between $5,000 & $7000 with demo included. This company needs good luck with salesmen like this!

We had an amazing experience with A.B. Contracting, and I can't recommend Chris and his team…read moreenough. We were remodeling our basement and got several quotes, but Chris immediately stood out with a fair, reasonable price and a thoughtful approach that made us feel comfortable right from the start. What really set Chris apart was how involved he was before the work even began--and all the way through the project. He offered great design and layout suggestions we honestly wouldn't have thought of on our own, from flooring choices to lighting to small details that made a big difference. He also helped design the space so it functions like three different rooms while still feeling like one connected, open area, which completely changed how we use it. His team was on time, professional, and incredibly respectful. They put down protective matting as they went in and out of the basement, swept the floors daily, cleaned up debris as they worked, and treated our home with real care. They even took their shoes off before coming inside. It genuinely felt like they were remodeling their own home, not just doing a job. The crew truly felt like family, and the before-and-after transformation of our basement is incredible. There were also a lot of thoughtful touches that really stood out. On days when we weren't home, Chris and his team would bring our garbage cans up near the house on collection day, which was completely unexpected and very appreciated. Even after the basement was finished, they helped move furniture and larger items downstairs, which felt truly above and beyond. Our dog even loved them--and he's a pretty good judge of character. Throughout the entire process, they were consistently kind, considerate, and easy to have around. One highlight that still amazes me: Chris and his team stained the basement stairs to perfectly match our first-floor stairs. I honestly didn't think it could be done, but they took their time and absolutely nailed it. The drywall and framing work were done beautifully, and what really stood out was that Chris came back later to check on everything and make small touch-ups, just to be sure the work held up. That level of pride and follow-through is rare. They painted the ceiling black and were meticulous--no missed spots, no shortcuts. Everything was done with care. We agreed on a timeline, and they started when they said they would, finished on time, and left the space spotless when the job was done. To make things even easier, we simply picked out samples from Home Depot, and Chris and his team handled all the materials. The entire process was smooth and stress-free. All we had to do was make one call, do a little planning, and enjoy our new basement one to two weeks later. And honestly, our basement is now one of our favorite parts of the house. It's peaceful, quiet, and truly enjoyable. What we expected to be just a more functional space turned into a place we actually love spending time in. The whole experience felt exciting--almost like Christmas morning--watching it come together. The results completely exceeded our expectations. We're really happy we chose Chris and his team for this project. The experience was smooth from start to finish, the quality of the work speaks for itself, and we'd absolutely work with them again if we ever take on another remodel.

Chris and his team maintained great communication throughout and the entire project went very smoothly. What I appreciated most was their flexibility on timing as well as the ability to do various new work that came up as the project began. Anything that came up they were able to do and costs were very reasonable. Most of the design direction came from me, so if you prefer to have a contractor design for you that is something I'm sure they do but didn't get into much on this project. I enjoyed working with this company and would recommend them to others.
