We contracted Aaron to demolish and reconstruct two bathrooms. The job involved plumbing, electrical, carpentry, tile installation, Synmar stone paneling installation in the showers, and painting, Both bathrooms are a showcase, absolutely magnificent. Aaron Russ is the most highly skilled craftsman in this region. His work is fabulous. He is not only highly skilled, but timely and is a first class gentleman. We have already contracted him to do our dining and living rooms next January. Dan & Kim Switchenko Willimantic, CT
Highly recommend! Aaron and his team replaced our carpet with hardwood and reframed our closets/doors. Everything turned out beautiful. Aaron was great about offering and explaining our options and the process, and very attentive to detail. It’s really nice to work with a contractor who oversees the business but also does the work and trains his employees personally. Aaron and his team were also very respectful of my kids and dog!
In my 23 years as a homeowner, I have never been more happy with a contractor than I was with Aaron Russ. He is professional, reliable, diligent, and an extremely hard and efficient worker. His knowledge of all things home improvement related is remarkable. He takes the time to listen to clients and delivers what is needed with excellent workmanship. Aaron really goes above and beyond. He leaves the worksite clean and is honest, direct, and accessible. I can't reccommend his services more highly. Thanks Aaron!
Aaron deep cleaned and then stained our 50 year old cedar siding. His cleaning job was thorough and extremely careful, ensuring the integrity of the old siding which is prone to damage from power washing. He then did 3 coats of stain and painted all our trim. For a fraction the cost of new siding, he revitalized our house and made it look like new. With the new protective layer he applied we should have decades more use out of the cedar. Highly recommended!
Aaron is very professional, honest and quick and does excellent work. We used Russ for a few projects and would hire them again.
