A&E Construction and Design Center

You cannot go wrong with A&E Construction! And it is impossible to use anyone else after you have worked with them. We used A&E for a big construction job which included tearing down an old garage, building and relocating a new 2.5 car garage with a mother-in-law space above, and their work is perfection. The job was completed early (4.5 months from start to finish), the crew members are skilled professionals who take pride in their work, and you will never find a more responsive contractor than Greg. He keeps you updated throughout the process and you can trust that he is on top of everything. We often received weekly emails documenting the progress made and upcoming tasks in the project. He was on site almost daily either doing some of the work or checking in on things. We will be using them again for any and all future renovation projects! They are the best of the best.

Don’t waste your time looking, you won’t find better. A&E Construction simply delivers. Quality results, quality people, delivered when promised and on budget. What else is there? All of this took place in the early post-Covid period when labor and supplies were beyond tight, yet A&E delivered. Our project was extensive: new roof, new windows, new doors, new siding, new hardwood floors throughout, new kitchen, new bathrooms, new laundry room, and a new expanded deck. All done while we lived in the house with minimal disruption. Greg and his team were terrific. All were friendly and considerate. Again, you won’t find better.

We can’t say enough about the great work that Greg and his team at A&E completed at our house in Pennington. Our house was constructed in the 1950s and the kitchen and upstairs bath needed renovation. It was a big job, lasting over two months. A&E was very trustworthy throughout as we were away from the house during the day. From project design, through all the facets of the work, A&E was on top of every detail. They took care of our house as if it was their own and the finished product is spectacular. Thank you, A&E, for your craftsmanship and your character! Top notch!

A great pleasure to recommend Greg Fontaine and his crew at A&E in Pennington New Jersey. They were highly professional, skilled, meticulous, and customer friendly in renovating our Primary Bath. We had put off rebuilding our bath for literally decades, thinking it would be a months long job. Instead A&E scheduled all the work carefully, so it was executed in record time. Their electrician, plumber, tiler, carpenter did excellent work. We are immensely pleased with our beautiful new bathroom.

A and E Construction recently replaced my deck. Their work was great! Beautifully designed and perfectly constructed. I could not be more pleased!

The entire team at A&E Construction in Pennington, NJ is first rate: from in-house staff, to designers, to on-site construction - this is a great collection of talent. The attention to detail, timeliness, project updates, and willingness to make sure the client is happy is beyond commendable. We undertook a kitchen expansion and renovation, as well as a primary bathroom expansion and smaller bathroom remodel. The transition from area to area was seamless and the A&E on-site team went out of their way to minimize the disruption to our family. The relationship with A&E does not end when the project is complete - they are there to answer any questions that arise or address any detail that needs “tweaking”. Their goal is perfection and a satisfied client. Count me and my family as very happy customers.

I am sooo happy with my new Master Bathroom done by A&E Construction! Greg and his guys did an excellent job from inception to completion. Each step in the process carried out as planned and completed on time. The craftsmanship is of the highest quality. Can't wait to have my kitchen done by them in the near future!

Greg Fontaine and his crew at A&E Construction were a pleasure to work with on our primary bathroom renovation. Greg's leadership and communication style are unparalleled, and he set the tone and level of expectations for everyone who worked on the project. He came up with ideas that improved upon our original design requests, making the room feel even more spacious. From the very beginning, Karen and Rachel were great at the design center. They comprehended the aesthetic I was aiming for and made it happen. The team manager, Robert, was on site every day and was a calming presence who set high standards for cleanliness and organization. I knew that I could trust him to take care of all the details and that I would be happy with the end result. The stone artisan, tile craftsmen, cabinet makers, electrician, the plumbers, the spackler, and the painters were all talented, hard-working, respectful, good people. It is incredible that Greg has put together such an extraordinary and dedicated team. When a few small glitches naturally arose, A&E addressed the issues (like one of the sinks initially didn't hold water when the drain stopper was engaged) and took care of them so that the bathroom was fully functional upon completion. If we ever have another project to do in this house, I would not hesitate to ask A&E to do the work. They are incomparable.

We recently replaced our 40 year old cedar siding on our house with Hardie board, replaced all exterior trim with composite material, and installed all new windows and trim. Greg Fontaine - and everyone from A&E involved with our project - was top flight in every way. Very well organized, kept to the schedule, kept to the budget, accommodated changes along the way, finished on time, and were incredibly clean workers for every phase of the project. Most important, their crew members were - to a person - thoughtful, hardworking professionals committed to doing the job right. Start to finish, their work was of the highest quality. We simply couldn't be more pleased with the final outcome and the overall experience we had working with the folks at A&E. Andrew and Kathleen Hamlin

A&E is a great design build contractor. From concept to completion they were personable, professional and true craftsmen. Karen and Greg are a pleasure to work with. Great ideas during design and responsive to our needs - as were all their craftspeople and contractors. Attentive to schedule, budget and construction details. Always respectful of your time. Work areas were cleaned and secured each day during the work. I look forward to working with A&E on our next home project!

Greg and his team of professionals took our two upstairs bathrooms and transformed them into beautiful spa-like rooms that added beauty, function, and value to our home. Greg listened carefully to what we wanted, came up with a great and creative plan for both bathrooms, and consulted with us at every step of the project to ensure we were all on the same page. Their designer Rachel worked through every detail with us with excellent suggestions and endless patience. Every team of sub-contractors were professionals with whom Greg has been working for years. They all were courteous, highly skilled, careful to clean up every day, and very pleasant to work with. The tile work on the floor of the main bathroom was amazing and a show stopper! The vaulted ceiling with wooden beams was stunning. The quality of workmanship in every aspect was beyond our expectations. We could not be happier with the final results. We recommend A & E with utmost confidence and enthusiasm!

A&E Construction completed a range of projects on our house: removed an inside chimney with resulting wall, floor and ceiling finishing; re-routed heating system plumbing; replaced outside doors; rebuilt closets; removed carpeting; replaced a set of stairs. Greg was an excellent communicator throughout the project, providing a written quote with clear explanation of payments and terms. He documented all change orders. He kept me informed of the planned work schedule and worked around any obstacles we posed. His crew was always respectful and showed particular care in keeping us safe in the midst of the COVID pandemic. The A&E crew was always neat, leaving a clean workplace each day. The finish details were excellent. The one time I had concerns, Greg addressed the issue immediately to my satisfaction. There were no unpleasant surprises and we were very pleased with all the work. We definitely recommend A&E Construction. We have additional work planned and plan to ask A&E Construction to do the work.

We had A&E replace our siding, windows and roof. They did an awesome job with everything. The work was done in a timely manner and everything was kept neat through the entire project. Greg was very responsive with any concerns or questions we had and was extremely easy to work with. We would highly recommend them!

Second time we are working with A&E. Everything came out exactly as designed. The team is friendly, on time, and extremely respectful of your family and home. We had a great mix of absolute pros. Painters, carpenters, electricians, plumbers, and the best sheetrock work I’ve ever seen. All changes (you will have them) were accommodated and there were no serious delays getting supplies. Prices are reasonable and well worth the craftsmanship. Couldn’t be a better experience.

A&E provides outstanding service throughout the entire process. From the high level of communication to attention to detail, they aim to please and take great pride in the work they do. The team of craftsman are talented, polite, and experts in their work. We would highly recommend A&E.

A & E resided a portion of my 18th-century barn in cedar, matching the materials to the rest of the barn, rebuilding sliding doors, and reworking metal door hanging devices. They greatly improved the engineering of the structure, while maintaining the integrity of the appearance. They were working in a fenced garden where they did no damage to the landscaping and cleaned up all the debris from the work. Moreover the employees are skilled, polite, and pleasant to deal with. This work was done during the covid crisis, and everyone observed every possible safety measure. I also had some house windows and my front door replaced -- again the carpentry matched the original 18th-century trim and all work was performed efficiently and safely.

We have used A&E for a number of projects over the years, from adding a skylight to an upstairs bedroom to adding an extra bay to our garage. This project entailed the complete renovation of an upstairs bathroom, mired in the 1980s. From design to execution A&E provided plans, sourced the chosen materials, gutted the existing room and completed the project from floor to ceiling. The A&E team was always professional, including the numerous sub-contractors, and inevitable changes to the original plan were handled smoothly. Every day the site was cleaned and care was taken not to disturb the rest of the house. The end result is beautiful. We have and will always recommend them and use A&E for any future projects.

Greg and Karen of A&E Construction were absolutely wonderful to work with for our kitchen renovation. A&E was very responsive to our needs and any questions we had. Their carpenters/cabinet makers are excellent craftsmen as were the other craftsmen who worked on the remodel. We are very satisfied with our kitchen and will be using A&E again for the other home projects we need done.

A&E Construction provided a great design for my kitchen remodel. The high level of workmanship is evidenced by my beautiful new kitchen. They helped me with selections for appliances, cabinets, tiles & flooring. The work was completed on time and the crew left my house in order every day. I highly recommend Greg and the A& E team, they did a superior job!

We hired A&E to do a bathroom renovation, a closet rebuild, and some painting and odds and ends before we moved into our house. Greg, Karen, and Rachel could not have been nicer or more professional. They explained every step of the process to us in detail, helped us make design choices, and brought the project in on time and on budget. We will definitely hire them again for future projects.

A&E did a fantastic job! We had a complete bathroom renovation and new kitchen counters and backsplash. The team was knowledgeable and very helpful. The quality of work was impressive. We highly recommend them.

My husband and I recently used Greg and his staff at A&E Construction to design and build a two story addition, renovate our powder room and mudroom, replaced our siding with Hardie board and replaced the roof. We couldn’t be more pleased with the end result. From the beginning, Greg was extremely easy to work with. His communication during the project made us feel at ease throughout the process. Greg's employees were polite, respectful of our space, and cleaned up after themselves daily. The carpenters, electricians, plumbers and everyone in between really prided themselves in their work. Our project stayed on budget and was completed in the timeframe we were given. We feel that our end result is of highest quality. We are happy that we were able to support a local business and would highly recommend A&E Construction to our friends and neighbors.

To say that I love my new three season room is an understatement. The men and women who worked on the project are masters at their craft. The office staff was available any time I needed help with design elements. Everyone worked diligently and at the end of each day the work site was spotless. Also, the room was completed on time, on budget, and is as beautiful as I imagined. Thank you all at A&E Construction.

The A&E team were amazing from initial design to the last day of work. They were extremely responsive and attentive to our vision for this project. Have used them in the past and will continue to use them. Recommend them highly if you want quality work.

We were extremely happy with the bathroom renovation A&E did for us. They were a pleasure to work with —from design through completion. The project came in on time and on budget, the workmanship was of the highest quality, the site was left clean and tidy each day, and the entire A&E staff, from Greg and Karen, to Bri, and the whole construction team was responsive and helpful. We highly recommend them!

A & E Construction recently completed the remodeling of my back porch into a 3-season room. I highly recommend Greg, Karen, and their staff. They are extremely professional, very gracious and friendly, and their work is of the highest standards. The A & E crew come when they say they will, do beautiful work, answer any questions you may have, and leave everything cleaned up when they are finished. It's easy to communicate with Greg or Karen by phone, text, or email. They are very helpful with the designing of the project and the choice of materials and styles. They are honest and accurate about time lines and prices. They stand by their work and are sincere in their desire to please their customers. I recommend A & E without reservation.

A & E was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. The contract was detailed and very specific. When we chose upgrades or had unexpected problems, the house was built in 1910, Greg was always absolutely clear about cost. There were no surprises! The entire team is professional and very service oriented. They were helpful, flexible, and creative. The workmanship was excellent and the results are beautiful. The subcontractors were great too. Everyone arrived promptly every morning and left the house neat and clean each afternoon. If it's possible to say, when your house was invaded Monday through Friday by people wielding hammers and othe tools of destruction, we miss them!!! They were really great to work with. I recommend them without reservation.

A&E remodeled and reconfigured our master bath and WIC. We had a poor layout from the original builder and very tiny closets. A&E's designer, Donald, came up with great ideas and a better plan to maximize closet space and give us a larger shower and private toilet area. They also remodeled our kids' bathroom. I was most impressed with their desire to make the customer happy. Whenever we had a question or issue, it was promptly addressed. They stand behind their work. Their plumbers, electricians and tilers are all top notch! It has been more than a year since our renovation was completed, so I can confidently tell you everything has worked well and we love the improvements in our home! If you want your job done right with quality construction, then A&E is the one for you!

Giving A&E a five star review is honestly SO easy to do!! If you are considering hiring them for a project, look no further and do it, you will be so happy! Greg, Karen, and their whole team make renovation a smooth, seamless, fast, and on-budget experience! Their level of professionalism, attentiveness, integrity, and high quality craftsmanship make A&E stand out, and sets them apart from the rest. My husband and I also worked with A&E a few years ago for a major kitchen addition at our cafe and catering company and were so, so pleased! Greg made sure that our commercial kitchen and production were not interrupted even for a minute (which was SO important, and at a busy time of year!). Having had that amazing experience at our business, we knew that it was only in A&E's hands that we could entrust our home renovation, and we could not be happier!

Completely professional company from start to finish. Accurate estimate that was stuck to as a final cost except for changes made to the project along the way which was expected. Crew is courteous and respectful at all times. Owner is responsive to all forms of contact, and stays involved even when not on site to lead his crew. They have top-notch workmen who care about the quality of their work and pay attention to detail. They clean up every day and keep the work area as livable as possible throughout the project. When we had a slight issue with a closet door they installed, they came back to fix it even though months had passed, and at no charge. We will be hiring them again for future projects!

Greg, Lauren and the whole A&E team are amazing. Having worked with other less skilled and honest contractors in a previous home construction project, we were nervous. But A&E kept to the budget, did absolutely impeccable work and were always calm and reassuring as the project progressed.

A&E has done multiple projects for us in the past. When it was time to do a complete renovation of our kitchen, we wouldn't have trusted anyone else. And, we couldn't be happier with the result! Greg and his team helped us come up with a design that fit our lifestyle and hit all the items on our wish list. They were also great with helping us pick materials and finishes. They are perfectionists and it shows in all that they do. The team kept us informed and were super responsive throughout the project. And, the project was completed on schedule. Thanks to A&E, we now have the kitchen of our dreams!

Greg and the team at A&E made our outdoor living space look like something out of a home and design magazine. From our initial meeting with Greg to discuss our ideas until the last day of completion, the team at A&E were professional, courteous and dedicated to making every detail of our outdoor living space perfect. Everyone who comes to our house and looks outside is blown away by what they see! We highly recommend Greg and his team and will be our first choice for our next home improvement project!

It was a pleasure working with A and E Construction re-doing our kitchen. Every step of the way Greg helped us with advice and communicating what was happening next and what to expect. He always answered emails, texts and phone calls promptly. His crew of guys were friendly, professional and cleaned up everyday! They seemed as excited about our project as we were. We love our beautiful new kitchen!

A&E Construction has done several projects for us, including energy performance improvements, interior renovations, demolition, and new structures. They always provide a fair price, exceptional service, and impeccable work. I would highly recommend A&E Construction and will definitely use them for my next project as well.

A&E Construction completed two major renovations of our property. The first project was a complete remodel of the main living area, and the second project was an outside project involving siding, gutters, and patio. We selected A&E because of their excellent reputation in our local area and their extensive knowledge and great communication of the details of the project. They helped us with the design of our remodel and then handled all of the details of getting it done in a timely and professional manner. They started the job quickly and stayed on their promised schedule unless we made last minute changes. They were very helpful in giving advice about what changes should and should not be made. They didn’t try to upsell us on anything but gave us sound advice on what we could do. Many times they went above and beyond the scope of the project when we would ask for something extra to be done. They never hesitated to accommodate a request, no matter if the request was big or small. They made the challenge of living in a house with ongoing renovations as easy as possible by respecting our space and arranging for ways to meet our needs in the process. We were amazed at how well they did cleaning up each day and how considerate they were to the needs of the family. Overall, we give them our highest recommendation. We found them to be honest, talented, hard-working, timely, and spot on with advice. The finished product is beautiful and exceeds our expectations. We would use them for any project in the future.

We have hired A&E to do several projects since 2012- finish our basement, replace front steps with covered porch (2015) and re-do our kitchen (2016). Their work is the high quality; their wood working contractors are detail craftsmen. When re-doing our front steps, they discovered how deteriorated the foundation of the steps were and the house's front sill plate was rotted behind the steps. They corrected the issues with minimal delay in the project and I know the work will hold up for another 50+ years. I call A&E for all my projects because I know I will get excellent quality and work that is on time and up to code and if there are questions or concerns they are handled quickly. In this company you get what you pay for.

We chose A&E Construction to renovate our home and could not be happier. After working several years with an architect to develop our plans, it was Greg and his team that was able to make our vision a reality. Greg and his team were very professional. Everything was done with attention to detail, with high quality and achieving time commitments. He thought not only of ensuring the job was done very well, but also in a way that limited our inconvenience, since we were still living in the house. While we were thrilled with the results, when the job was finished, we were a bit sad to see Greg & his crew pack up. Greg's commitment to the job continues - when we have questions, he makes the time to call us back & walk us through maintenance details. We plan on working with Greg and his crew again - and have already recommended A&E to our friends.

We have the highest regard for Greg Fontaine and everyone who works for A&E Construction -- so much so that we have asked them to assist us with 4 construction projects over the last 10 years. The most significant project was the construction of a large addition on the back of our home, which had many complications due to the slope of our back yard and the need to reinforce our rear foundation. The second largest project involved some commercial office space that we purchased for a family business. Again, we selected A&E Construction to completely gut the space and re-build it from scratch--including some fairly complicated phone/internet/computer cabling aspects. In all of our projects with A&E we have found the A&E team to be 100% professional and courteous, trustworthy, completely responsive and on time, and to perform with no surprise extra costs. We have literally given the key to our house and office spaces to Greg and his team to complete their work while we were away on vacation --that is how much we trust them. A&E has strong long-time relationships with similarly qualified and honest subcontractors (eg., painting, flooring, electrical, and plumbing). In summary, we highly recommend A&E Construction to anyone who asks, and they will certainly be our contractor of choice for all our future projects.

Greg and the A&E crew did a major renovation of the third floor of our 1895 Victorian home which included replacing hardwood floors, building a bar, performing considerable electrical work, installing central air and completely renovating a bathroom. Greg clearly has the knowledge to manage a complicated project, provided accurate estimates and realistic timeframes. Every subcontractor was topnotch in terms of quality of work and professionalism. As you can imagine, in a 120 year old home, there are many hidden issues that arise when you start entering walls and ceilings, and Greg was able to guide us through those inevitable obstacles. Our home was clean at the end of each day and the entire area was cleaned professionally at the end of the project so that we could move our furniture right in and start enjoying our space. We just hosted a celebration in the space this weekend, and received so many compliments on the beautiful results of A&E's hard work!

I have worked with A&E on several projects. Their quality of work is top notch. They are very professional, very organized and things run smoothly. They have excellent subcontractors that are all a pleasure to work with as well. I would highly recommend calling A&E for renovation contracting as well as new construction..

We had used A&E Construction successfully for several projects, starting in 2009, so it was natural when we decided to remodel our kitchen to ask A&E to do the work.We were not disappointed. They were very attentive to what we wanted to accomplish, gave us good input in terms of design features, and provided us with excellent sources for appliances, hardware, counter tops, etc. The actual work was performed efficiently and on schedule. We are very pleased with the results and recommend A&E highly.

Greg and the staff at A&E Construction are extremely professional and always produce high quality work for their clients. Greg is always focused on his clients needs and it shows throughout the project. We are happy to have a partner like A&E Construction.

We hired A&E Construction to finish our basement based on a friends recommendation. We had a bedroom with egress window built, an office, a kids play area complete with a hidden den and four built in bunk beds and a large space for home entertainment. Once the work commenced, the project took about six to seven weeks to complete. This was the estimate Greg had given us. All the work was done on budget, despite some changes and additions along the way. Right from the first visits with Greg, Donald and Larry, we felt reassured that the project would be handled professionally and with our interests (not theirs) in mind. They listened to what we wanted and suggested alternatives that might work better, all the time showing flexibility and adapting to the changes we made. A big concern of mine was the future potential for water to enter the basement. They suggested the reconfiguring of the sump pumps and piping which brought us great peace of mind. They carried out work that I wasn't expecting, like re-locating some existing HVAC ducting to maximize space and ceiling height. The quality of the workmanship and the attention to detail couldn't be faulted. All of the contractors employed worked well together, were polite and respected our home while the work was in progress. Wooden floors were always covered and doors kept closed to prevent our small children from becoming too inquisitive. All the contractors cleaned up at the end of each day and when on the odd occasion, due to sanding for example, when a lot of dust would find its way upstairs, Greg would arrange for cleaners to come in and clean up. Either Greg or Larry would keep us updated on a regular basis, always explaining what stage of work would come next. One of them would be present on site for most of the days that work was carried out. Any questions or concerns were quickly addressed, either in person, or if they were unavailable, by e-mail, usually the same day. Our finished basement exceeds our expectations. It has great space and light and we are looking forward to enjoying the added space their work has brought to our home. Having worked with some real "cowboys" in the past, A&E Construction have re-installed my faith in the building trade. If you need work done, these are the guys to do it. You wont be disappointed.

I recently had skylights replaced by this company. I had 3 other quotes and they were very competitive They communicated in a timely manner from the initial quote to the project's completion. Every individual was courteous and performed their job to the highest level. The attention to detail and finishing touches were unrivaled by anything I have experienced in 35 years of home ownership. I feel so fortunate to have chosen A & E and will hire them for any future repairs or renovations in our home. Don't hesitate to contract with this company.

Four years ago, A & E gave me my dream kitchen. Our home was built in the 40s and the kitchen had not really been up graded since then. Greg listen to what I wanted and was able to take my ideas and wants to come up with a plan and buget that was perfect for my husband and myself. A & E's crew were very professional and made the construction easy to live through. They had to removed walls, floor and ceiling and move a door, but each night, our home was as clean as they could make it. Greg always kept us informed how well we were staying on budget and gave us options when we went over. Even after all this time, I still love my kitchen and would not change a thing! We also had an enery audit done at the same time and had additional insulation, and new energy saving appliances put in. A & E helped us with the paper work to qualify for an energy loan and paperwork needed for tax purposes. We have had our utility bills lowered each month. Definitely worth the cost!

We have done several major projects with A&E Construction over the past 10 years, and would highly recommend them! Most recently, A&E built a new beach house from the ground up for us in Seaside Park NJ. We are delighted with the end result! And our house was completed on-time and on-budget, despite the challenging winter conditions. A&E pays attention to the details, big and small, and Greg has a strong team of sub-contractors who uphold these same high standards. His team also cleans up the job site daily, which is a big plus. During the construction process, Greg kept us regularly apprised of where things stood, helped us make key selections, and brought solutions forward as we encountered obstacles or other challenges. It was an amazingly smooth process, and we love, love, love our new home!

A & E put new siding, new windows, a new roof, gutters, and a front porch on our house which gave our home a whole new and updated look that we love. Greg and his crew were professional and easy to work with at each phase of the project. They were easy to work with, always suggested options, explained carefully the pros and cons for various possibilities, offered ways to save money without losing quality, checked in regularly, and kept us informed at every step. The work crews were efficient, professional, hard working, and carefully cleaned up the project site each day. We recommend A & E with confidence!

A&E is a terrific company! I searched for nearly 2 years to find a contractor who had the best reputation, who gave me a fair price, & who was responsive to my needs. They completed the job on schedule & within budget. The kitchen & bath are everything I'd hoped for & more. I'd hire them again in a heartbeat.

I have used A & E Construction on several large improvements to our home in Princeton and give them my highest recommendation. The first project was last summer (2013) in which they did a complete remodel of our kitchen, which included knocking down walls as well as adding a new master bathroom and walk-in closet to our bedroom. Because I was living in Florida at the time, we had to make all of the decisions via email with pictures. Not only did A & E provide exceptional advice with the selections but they completed the project exactly when they said they would when we first signed the contract. Their work was incredible and they transformed the interior of our home substantially with fantastic attention to detail. The second project done last month (June 2014) was the residing of our home. When considering this project, I contacted three other companies to compare quotes on siding. A & E was the best deal of the four by several thousand dollars and I already knew the impressive quality of their work. It took 5 days as they said it would and our 25 year old home looks like it was just built this summer. I could not be happier with the quality of their work, their timeliness in completing the projects as scheduled and the professionalism of their workers. I do not and will not receive any compensation from A & E for this review. I'm doing it solely because they really are a great family-run company and deserve the best review I can offer.

It was an emergency. Our living room window had just been broken. A call placed to A & E and their request for a photo (which was sent via email), and an appointment set-up for a couple of hours later and they were there and knew exactly what to do. Broken window was removed, the replacement (Andersen) window ordered and (while they were here) new string mechanisms ordered for other windows and a casement mechanism for the kitchen window taken apart to ascertain the parts needed to render it operable again all done - politely, professionally and neatly. Later, window was in, scheduled for installation and other items taken care of at the same time, yielded a very satisfied homeowner.

A&E did a fabulous 2 story addition (kitchen, master bath and WIC) for us in about 3 months which totally surprised us due to the terrible winter we had. Every day (including several weekends) workers were here and always at the end of each day, they tidied up so well that we could walk across the areas barefoot if we wanted. Greg's team was courteous, professional and knowledgeable and we would highly recommend them. Their allowances were reasonable (although we went over for the tile thanks to the amazing Darlene at a Step in Stone as well as for the frameless shower enclosure by Glass Castle) and they were kind enough to provide us with a utility sink (and connected it) so that the 6 weeks we were without a kitchen, we had somewhere to wash dishes and have access to water. We'd definitely use them again and I'm grateful for my friend for recommending them!

Professional, easy to work with, great solution finder. Fair and reasonable estimate, and on budget. What more do you want!

We have worked with A&E Construction on many projects from finishing our basement to a backyard renovation including a pool house, screened porch and outdoor fireplace. Our projects have all run very smoothly. Greg and his team are neat, clean and always on time. They were very respectful of our family while working in our home. Greg was always upfront about costs and how long the project would take. He also gave us great ideas for our projects and how to make the most of our budget. Greg was always available whenever we had questions and got back to us in a timely manner. The quality of the work done by A&E Construction is excellent. Their main goal is to make sure their customer is 100% happy when the job is done. After working with them on our basement, our first project, we knew we would only work with A&E Construction on all our future projects.

We have hired A & E for a number of higher end remodeling projects in our home. Since we were living in our home during the projects, it was important to our family that the workers were trustworthy, clean, and considerate. All of the employees were very meticulous, highly skilled and very efficient which alleviated a lot of stress for us. Our most recent project was a sun room remodel which turned a porch into an all season retreat. Since this room connects with a formal living room and a family room, we wanted a lot of detail and quality craftsmanship. We used AJ Margulis as our designer and her suggestions were incorporated beautifully! Again A & E exceeded our expectations. Larry our project manager, was punctual, friendly and efficient. Since I work at home, I was appreciative that his team was considerate and noninvasive. Every day we were given a summary of what was accomplished and what what would take place in the coming days and weeks. This enabled us to plan our day, and it alleviated a lot of potential stress that comes with remodeling. When the building inspectors came to our house they both stated independently--"I know A& Es work--no worries, this will be a short inspection." That sounded like a trustworthy professional endorsement to us! We are very happy with our beautiful new room.

We think A&E Construction does fantastic work! We have hired this company for several jobs, both big and small, and we have been very impressed with the workmanship, the process and the workers. Our largest project with A&E Construction involved totally renovating our twin daughter’s bedroom, which included raising the ceiling and constructing a built-in closet and shelving. I worked closely with the owner Greg Fontaine to discuss the design and come up with a plan. He was very easy to communicate with, he listened and came back with multiple creative options with different budget requirements. There were no delays, we stayed within our budget, and the workers always cleaned up at the end of the day and were very pleasant and non-obtrusive. We are extremely happy with the results and would highly recommend A&E Construction.

I have hired A&E Construction for both large and small projects multiple times over the past 8 years and without any hesitation, give them the highest recommendation possible. The owner of the company, Greg Fontaine, is experienced, knowledgeable, honest and reliable. Projects were always done on time and on budget and if for some reason, the schedule needs to change, Greg does an excellent job communicating the reasons. Before working with A&E, we hired many contractors over the years, and no one ever compared in terms of quality of work combined with reliability and trustworthiness. Another thing we've really appreciated about working with Greg is his ability to provide us with options and ideas if we needed to scale back on a project. Two of the larger projects Greg did for us were finishing our basement and building a poolhouse. Greg was very cognizant that we did not have an unlimited budget and worked with us to make sure we got the most for our money. Greg also does an excellent job hiring talented and reliable people that I am always comfortable having in my home. Additionally, they are very neat and always clean up after themselves at the end of each day. Lastly, and most importantly, Greg really cares about his customers and goes above and beyond what's expected to make sure they are 100% satisfied. I can't say enough good things about him and A&E!! If you hire them, you won't be disappointed.
