My wife and I recently bought a house and were looking to do an extensive remodel before we moved in, including all new flooring, interior paint, 3 bathrooms (including master down to studs), kitchen (down to studs), a new pantry, and refaced cabinets in laundry room and hallway.

I hired A List Builders because I could tell Ben and Rani were passionate and knowledgeable. They weren’t the cheapest bid we received but I am happy we shelled out the few extra bucks, in the end it paid off. Rani was always reachable for any issues or questions.

I spoke with Sydney to see how I would go about this because technically, my warranty was up. She connected me with Rani who came out the following week to see what the problem was. He followed up consistently and in a timely manner until my needed repair w…
