"Amazing craftsmanship and quality work. I highly recommend Bill for any of your handyman needs. We we're selling our house and needed him to touch-up some items and he knocked it out of the park for a very reasonable price. Bill was always on time and was very trustworthy. Look no further for your handyman needs!"

"FAMB construction has completed multiple home improvements for us including deck construction, privacy fence construction, bathroom remodeling, interior and exterior painting."

"We were very pleased with the quality of work delivered on our project to repair our indoor stair railing. Over a period of two decades our cat had used the railing posts as a scratching post. We were concerned that the repair might not be esthetically pleasing without a full replacement. We were delighted that a pleasing and economical solution was delivered for this project in the promised timeframe. The assigned worker communicated well, offered options and delivered beyond our expectations."

"I couldn’t be happier with the flooring repair! From start to finish, the experience was smooth and professional. The team arrived on time, clearly explained what needed to be done, and worked efficiently. The repair blends perfectly with the existing floor—you honestly can’t tell there was ever any damage. They paid great attention to detail, kept the area clean, and finished right on schedule. Excellent craftsmanship, fair pricing, and outstanding customer service. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing flooring repair."

"What an amazing result, we couldn't be happier. Super friendly and hard working; very reasonable pricing; very responsive; and went with the flow as the project expanded (painting, drywall repair, new railings, window replacement, footer replacement of the deck, and miscellaneous tasks). The work took our home and polished it to the point it felt like new. A note on pricing. Used ChatGPT to assess proposals and compare to regional norms which found prices were within reason for a highly reputable company like AR Creative Remodeling, Inc."

"Was very pleased with the results of the exterior painting of my Dads house and replacement and repair of his entire roof. They were fast efficient and very responsive. Would definitely hire again for other jobs needed."

"The repairs were completed as asked and I am satisfied with the original work that was done and he did come back to finish some items. He was reasonable for the work."

"The work was done only one week from the day that they came out to see the roof for the estimate.
Everything looks great, and I could tell that it was very detailed and fussy work. The new shingles match the old ones perfectly; they are woven into the old ones well, and the valley where the old and new roofs meet is covered with what I think is called a "weave" seam, which looks like a herringbone pattern: extra fancy. I can see at least one side of the roof repair from an upstairs window. They worked after sunset to get the job done in one day, using headlamps. Cleanup was great, with no nails in the driveway or debris flying around, even though they were finishing up in the dark. Since I had more rotten plywood in the area to be repaired than originally expected, and the work took more shingles, the actual cost was understandably $219 more than the original estimate, but again, that was completely understandable and within the range of other estimates from other contractors. They had to fetch more shingles twice. Their written business policies state that this can happen, and it's only fair. They did call to explain this before they mailed the invoice. We have had one heavy rain since the repair was completed, and I am happy that there were no drips from the metal wrap under my porch, for the first time in about 21 years.
I hope that this repair carries me through until the entire roof needs redone in another 10-15 years, and I would have this outfit do the work then."

"At first glance everything looks good. All the workers were nice. 
These are the problems:

• During the job I noticed a window sill did not look sanded properly. I.E. they painted over the peeled paint though they said they sanded it. I believe they did sand it...just not enough. The chipped old paint was still visible. When I called it to the attention of one of the painters he sanded it down but did not address the same problem on the adjoining sill. 
• Edges were irregular so after the job was over someone came back to repaint around some molding and the radiators to make edges straight.
• A couple weeks later I had to pull the refrigerator out and noticed that one wall got only one coat of paint. Original paint was showing through. Had I not pulled out the refrigerator I never would have known. A painter came back a second time to fix that and paint under the soffit which had been missed.
• I am currently putting up shades and have noticed that the tops of the windows and door jams were not painted at all. We're I not installing the shades I wouldn't have known it. I also noticed a large drip under the breakfast bar.
• I continue to find paint splatter and drops on the floors and rug though to be fair, the painter who came the second or third time offered to wander around and clean up the drops on the floor. I didn't have time for it and I didn't think it was as extensive as I have since discovered.
• Tape was only used when one of the painters came back to paint a tricky area but it would have helped to have used it in the first place. 

3/17/16 update: I continued to find paint drips everywhere. Additionally sills were not prepared properly so paint looks lousy there.

3/25/16 update: The owner called after I posted with the update and offered to remedy the situation and asked if I needed a room painted or if there was something else he could do. I was not at home so couldn't discuss it so he said he would call on the weekend. He never did.  One statement in the provider response is misleading. "...given the poor original condition of some surfaces..." is misleading. There was no difference in quality of similar surfaces; it was not extreme and if it were that bad I would have expected that at the outset additional costs would have been included in the estimate to repair it correctly. But the condition of the surfaces didn't warrant it. Moving on..."
