**★★★★★ — HU-893356342, Feb. 2022**

> Altierra Builders LLC (specifically Slawek Lesny and his crew) did a fantastic job repairing my condo after water damage. They specifically did flooring, drywall, trim work, and painting. Slawek worked well with the building, was timely, helpful, communicative and met all of my expectations. I was managing this project/water damage from afar, and Slawek took care of every last detail. The finished product is beautiful, down to every last detail.  Thank you so much!
