Unsolicited calls from them. They may be the ones who have been blocking the road in front of my neighbor's house.

Great company to work with. Reliable, communicative and most importantly great quality of work. We have used AKB for 2 major projects in our house and can't recommend them enough! I appreciated their ability to get our projects done in a timely manner while also providing a high quality of service.

Over the past 26 years, I have done a lot of home improvements myself. However, when it came time to replace everything in a whole bathroom and re-face a fireplace, I decided I needed to ask professional help. I knew from experience that the contractor I chose had to be licensed and bonded, plus I wanted one that was diamond certified. i called AKB and Shawn came over to go over my plans. after i made my choices, he set a start date.
The staff always called the day before to let us know was in store for the next day, as well as what time we could expect the crew to arrive. The various phases of the job were well planned, and the workers were very knowledgeable. I am very pleased with my bathroom and fireplace, and thank AKB for a job well done. Best regards, G.K.J

I highly recommend them to anyone They're definitely not the cheapest, but at the end of it, I am left with the feeling that the work was done correctly. I super love our kitchen now.

We had two new bathrooms installed. They were totally ripped out. While taking out our old bathrooms they kept the rest of the house dust free. We had the walls re-textured, new porcelain tile floors, and cultured marble in one shower/tub and in the shower in the other bathroom. They were punctual every day. They kept us informed in a professional way. The management and workers were all professional in every way. A beautiful job!
