The work included removing the acoustic ceiling (the cottage cheese or popcorn, as some people call it), painting the entire place, putting crown moulding in the bedrooms, ripping out the fluorescent lighting in the kitchen and removing a particularly ugly light fixture and replacing it with recessed lighting and putting in new doors and door handles throughout. He upgraded all the electrical outlets and switches.

He seems to have a compulsive need to fix things that are broken. He repaired the air conditioning and three slow drains (which required a trip to Home Depot for parts) for only the price of the parts, even though they weren’t part of the project.

Even though the bathrooms also weren’t part of the project, he put in new lights, removed some mold from a skylight and even painted and scrubbed the place clean. He didn’t charge for this.

His crew was friendly, respectful of my property and highly skilled. They did great work. A few small cracks in the walls, possibly caused by the building settling over the years, are gone. My place looks great.

I went on vacation while the work was done. When I returned a week later, the crew was cleaning up. He had 7-8 men working full-time on the project. He even brought in someone to dust and polish my furniture when they were done.

He has a good sense of what looks great and what needs to be done. He and his crew (his wife works with him) put in long days 7 days a week to get the job done.

The efficiency and craftsmanship was impressive. His design initiative and suggestions worked very well in the space.

All of my expectations were met and he even went the extra mile to take a little extra time on the backsplash so that it would not just look good, but great.

I highly recommend Alan Goldberg Contractors for home renovations. Next up is one of the bathrooms, for which I will definitely be calling him to do.
