Almar Building & Remodeling

Started out really strong and was feeling quite positive. Craig called, we made an appointment and he showed up on time, took notes and said he would have an estimate in one and a half to two weeks. Fast forward to a month and it’s been crickets. No response to my email, messages go unanswered. No estimate, no timeline for when they can do the project. I realize it’s a busy time of year and in the grand scheme of things, my project is tiny, but come on.. . typical contractor, I guess. Just let me know either way so I can move on.

Alison, Craig, Mark & Ed over at Almar couldn’t have been better for our construction project. We turned an elevated deck into a glassed-​in three season porch, and not only did Almar bid the project reasonably (based on five estimates) they completed it on time, with good communication and great attention to detail.
Craig was excellent during the project kickoff phase as well, when my wife and I went back and forth on design details and even had to put the project on the back burner for a few months. He patiently input our ideas into his design software so we could see how the room would look, and explained the myriad tradeoffs between time, money and design in a way that made perfect sense and made it easy to make the right decisions for our family and budget.
Once the project started, Mark and Ed kept us informed in person and via email, and were very friendly, personable and helpful onsite presences. Ed especially went the extra mile, doing jobsite cleanup at the end of the day — something that wasn’t strictly required — as well as some small safety touches I would never have thought of to make sure that our curious 5-​year old didn’t have any chance of hurting himself if he «accidentally» wandered into the area. The rest of the Almar crew was similarly good, and even the electrical, roofing, & insulation subcontractors were top notch.
I would use Almar again in an instant, and I have a coworker also using Almar for a project having a similarly good experience. Let them bid your project; you won’t be disappointed.
