I contracted A-1 to renovate my kitchen in January 2024. From the very beginning of my conversations with Alisher, it was very clear that his first priority is the customer. His customer service, attention to detail, care for the work, leadership and overall knowledge of renovations is top notch. His staff were also excellent. They were respectful, productive and cleaned up everyday after they finished their work. Alisher and team were reliable. Alisher returned my text and calls timely. I was a very hands on customer and it was reassuring to know that my project was priority. My kitchen looks custom. A-1 took my design ideas and brought them to life. Alisher worked within my budget and was very fair. My experience with A-1 was excellent and I would not hesitate to recommend them for any renovation. I plan to use them for future renovations.

Alisher and his team did a great job renovating our basement after a water damage claim. They communicated well and his team was extremely professional on site. Every day, they left their worksite spotless, which was something I was not used to at all having dealt with numerous contractors over the years.
