This is the second time I have used this company. The pricing compared to others is on the lower end, but the quality is not. They do a wonderful job. I really like that they understand I can’t do a large project and need to do room by room basis. They are flexible in scheduling and showed up on time. I will use them for my future projects and highly recommend them to anyone.

Great experience with Al and team! Fair pricing, great work, efficient and friendly. Likely having them work on another project for us in the near future! Would recommend for sure.

They did a fine job, and had excellent communication. They arrived when they said they would, cleaned up nicely after each day and kept us abreast of their work.

Allen and his crew did a great job for us, provided a fair quote and were very timely in starting and completing the job as scheduled. Pleasure to work with and communicated regularly through the process. Would def recommend.

Overall, I am happy with the work performed by A&R, and I would hire them again. They were on time, their quote was reasonable, and they were good at communication. The drywall work they did on my bathroom ceiling was excellent. After the first coat of paint, I asked them to clean up a few mud spots, and they corrected the work before the second coat with no problems at all. The worker Alex was very polite and I felt comfortable with him in my home. Their final price was about $50 more than the quote, because they had to do some extra patching, but I thought it was reasonable.

Seal of Approval

What is the screening process that Service Professionals go through in order to become members of the HomeAdvisor network?

  1. Verify Trade License
    HomeAdvisor checks to see if the business carries the appropriate state-level license.
  2. Verify Insurance
    As a part of our screening process, we encourage professionals to carry general liability insurance. We require coverage for hundreds of services.
  3. Verification of State Business Filings
    For business types that require a Secretary of State filing, we confirm that the business is in good standing in the state in which it is located.
  4. Criminal Records Search
    HomeAdvisor uses 3rd party data sources to conduct a criminal search for any relevant criminal activity associated with the owner/principal of the business.
  5. Sex Offender Search
    We confirm that the owner/principal is not listed on the official state Sex Offender web site in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located.
  6. Bankruptcy Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the history of the principal/owner of the business for bankruptcy filings by or against them.
  7. Legal Search for Civil Judgments
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for state level civil legal judgments entered against them.
  8. Liens Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for liens placed against them.
  9. Identity Verification (SSN)
    HomeAdvisor verifies the social security number(s) of the owner/principal for identity check purposes. This check applies primarily to smaller business entities.
  10. Identity Verification (Reverse Phone Lookup)
    We conduct a reverse business phone lookup to identify records matching the phone number information provided by the business.
