Aleks, Michal and Justin just finished a complete bathroom remodel for us. When I say complete, I mean they tore the old room down to the studs and replaced everything; including all fixtures, sheetrock, tile and paint. The job was completed with minimal disruption and mess. We are very satisfied with the work. These guys are truly artists!

Aleks and his crew did a great job repairing the sheet rock and painting my foyer and hallway. They showed up when they said they would and completed the job in a timely manner. They were very professional and cleaned up when the job was complete. I would use them again and highly recommend AMV.

I couldn't be happier with the bathroom remake. Job was not easy and team was professional. Tile work is beautiful.

If you want the short story- put your mouse away, close the computer, stop the hours of research and reading reviews. Pick up your phone and call Alexs . This is the only company you will need for all of your new or old construction needs, at very reasonable rates. Keep in mind, AMV is in demand and you should schedule ASAP if going forward. Now for the long story- sit down grab a beer or cup of coffee. Meet the amazing crew: Aleks (the Magician), Mike (the Perfectionist), Benny (the Astounding Albanian) and Jerm (the Talking Bull). After calling AMV for an estimate, Aleks scheduled a next day appointment. Aleks shows up at our agreed time and this is where the best contractor experience I have ever had begins. We go over the scope of work I would like done. There is one task Aleks tells me up front, that he has never done before, and that is the knockdown texture on the ceiling. Rather than bringing in another contractor just for the ceiling, we agree to give it a try with the understanding if I do not like it, I will not be charged. Aleks points out the many mistakes I had in my design thoughts. We go over his suggestions, which I might add, were all beneficial up the line. There was no up selling, just great ideas. Two days later I receive an email with proposal, we make some changes, and agree on the price and start date. The magic transition begins on the start date agreed on. The van pulls into my driveway at 8:15 AM, just like it did every day going forward. Starting each morning with a handshake and hello, the day begins. For the most part, you can expect a full day of work each day. The exception would be if the crew has completed one task and there is no sense in starting a new task with time constraints. You will always see either Aleks or Mike with Benny or Jerm, or all 4 on any given day. The biggest take away here is that these guys do not cut corners and will do ANYTHING to make the job right, and you happy. Another worthy note to keep in mind is, along with quality work, AMV uses only top quality materials, right down to the screws and nails. I remember at one point, my wife and I were not sure of our choice of backsplash color that we had picked out. Aleks already had six square feet up on the wall. We told him we were not feeling our choice of color. His response was, “No problem, I can take it down now. I will start over with your new tile, don’t settle, you will be looking at it for a long time. You have to love it now.” If that wasn’t enough, the new tile we picked out that night at local store needed to be special ordered, with a two week delay. I called Aleks from the store, knowing he had his next job scheduled during that time period. His response was, “Get what you like and we can work it out.” I realize time is money and I caused him extra time. The only thing in his thought process was to make me happy. By the way, Aleks did his homework on the knockdown texture. He was relentless until he got it right. It looks great! I would like to touch on my comment, “plenty of extras.” Here are just two examples. The crew was constantly going up and down my basement stairs for supplies. While doing so, Aleks noticed that my stairs were shifting from the wall. He made me aware of the danger of collapsing. At some point, I go to use the stairs myself and bingo, the stairs are sturdy like new. The other example is, I had a charging cord for my cordless vac, going from my dining room outlet and wrapping around the wall and basement door jam, to the vac on the wall of the stairs. Next thing I know, I have an outlet on the wall of the stairs for direct connection to my vac. Tell me, what contractor does this without gouging you? I am convinced, you will not come across a more honest and helpful group of guys in the construction business. From what I’ve seen, they can do it all. You need to call AMV for your next job! The only thing left to say is that our dining room/kitchen looks more amazing than we ever dreamed of and the deck will last a hundred years. Thank you Guys, for an amazing job well done. Description of work: Tear out and remodel of entire kitchen/dining room, sub-floor to ceiling, with a lot of new drywall, installed my new cabinets, installed all appliances and disposal, opened up and enlarged entry way wall to dining room, installed hi hats (lights) in both rooms with 3-way switching, and painted both rooms, replaced new baseboard heaters, rebuilt entire exterior entry door with new door, installed a new basement door, did a new knockdown texture on kitchen/dining ceiling, moved some outlets to an entirely different wall, built a new 12 x 16 deck with outside 220 electric installed, plumbing (broken drain pipe under cement basement floor), electric wiring and plenty of extras.

AMV design and construction did a very good job in my main full bathroom. Alecks is very professional and punctual. Although, he was in an early stage of his career at the time he did my bathroom, he was very knowledgeable and experience.
