  Affordable Solutions by Brian

  It was a pleasure, start to finish, to deal with Brian's Affordable Solutions. Brian's kitchen/bath renovation work is high quality in all aspects; he met every one of our requests, and made ongoing adjustments as the project progressed. In addition, Brian keeps in touch from the start; he and his staff show up on time, keep the worksite clean, make suggestions, and remain open to feedback and minor changes during the project. Brian and his staff are very knowledgeable, highly capable craftsmen and artisans who take great pride in the project's outcome; it was clear that they take the time to really strive to make the best results of the project for the customer. Brian's hard work, craftmanship and dependability made a big difference in our total satisfaction with the progress and outcome on this project--in spite of the occasional surprises that accompany this project work. In our delight at the end of the project, we happily paid the entire bill along with a tip for the extraordinary service, but we have managed to misplace the final billing invoice, so I will be calling Brian to send another copy at his convenience.

  He was very professional, taking pictures of the work he did and showing me, right away, in case I had any questions. He was very polite, and wanted to be sure I understood what he was doing. I would highly recommend him, and would use him again.

  Brian arrived first thing in the morning and began work immediately. He was extremely friendly, professional, and helpful. Both the new window and molding look great! I always ask a lot of questions, and Brian answered them all fully and patiently. We will DEFINITELY be using Affordable Solutions by Brian again!!!!!

  Tried to install a stairs and balcony and his bunch of idiot installers are exactly that IDIOTS. I received threatening phone calls and text messages from this guys wife! They did not finish the job and wanted paid more than they quoted; Tried taking me to court failed his wife either is a drunk or a idiot who continually texts me with threats. I would not use or recommend this company to my worst enemy.

  This is one review I wish I did not have to make, but feel members should have both the good and the "not so good" reports. Really hoped I had found someone in Brian who could help my daughter and me with the many jobs around our large home. And it's not like they were all small jobs; wanted quotes on replacing an ell shaped porch ceiling, new foundation for porch column, relocating two flat roof vents and putting in two new ones, and other future jobs of remodeling bath, and cabinet work in kitchen etc. Most of the reviews were glowing, so had high hopes.
  Called and left message at office #. Two days later, no response, so called cell and left message. Did receive an apology for not responding first time and I accepted and said we can start over, no problem. We made appt. for him to come and give estimate for work.....suggested Thurs. 2-4 or Fri. 2-5 that my daughter would be home to show him around. We agreed on Thurs.  At 4:05 Brian called and said he knows it was after 4 but thought it was worth calling to see if there was still time to run out. Agreed it was worth a call but unfortunately my daughter had left, so we arranged he would come next day and would call before coming. He has never shown up or called.
  With all his positive reviews I am puzzled by this.  
  Common courtesy seems to be lacking among contractors as this was the 2nd time in a month that a contractor failed to call. The first time other guy came out and then said to be by the phone with pencil and paper...he would call with estimate that night. Never called. Is there so much work out there that a business can afford to flip people off like that and it not affect their reputation????

  It appears that Brian did send the quote via e-mail. I assumed that he didn't want the job because i never saw it.  Somehow my work e-mail filtered him out. 
   I apologize to Brian for a rough review the first time. His quote was on target for the scope of work involved.

  Work done on the afternoon scheduled, we were kept informed when he was running a little behind. This is an old house built by the original owner, the wiring was a little tricky. Very nice guy and very professional. Will use him again for other work.

  Brian was punctual. If there was a change in time, he always called beforehand. Existing materials were used whenever possible to keep costs down. Brian is helpful with ideas and solutions to problems. He keeps a clean work area and overall, just does a great job. We feel blessed to have found such a wonderful worker and now, friend.

  Brian Rose Custom Carpentry & Interior Remodeling

  Brian is an exceptional person to work with. By the time he left we felt he was like part of the family. He was open to ideas and willing to try new applications. I wanted a Kerdi waterproofing membrane I had seen on the web that wasn't necessary but would give me more peace of mind and he was willing to undertake the job even though he had not used it before. He did a great job! The custom work he did on the recessed boxes took extra cutting to set small colored glass tiles on the diagonal and the results are extraordinary and we are well pleased. Cannot say enough nice things about this man and his work....we would definitely have him back again.
