### Featured Review

**★★★★★ — M Azar, Feb. 2020**

> Highly Recommend working with this company. Their attention to detail in addition to their wonderful service is superior. Steve was wonderful in helping our family do renovations in Houston and was able to complete our project sooner than the expected completion date. By far the most knowledgable contractor I have met. Thank you so much!

**★★★★★ — Tatyana Shev, Feb. 2019**

> PIVOTT Construction Co and its owner Mr Askari assemble the project in my house that was expensive and complex and required 6 visits of the city inspectors. The project was finished within 2 weeks. I was notified by Mr Askari in advance about upcoming work schedule at my house or possible changes. All communications with Mr Askari were returned within 1 hour even on weekends and at the late hours. The job was done to the highest level of the perfection and to my satisfaction as an owner. Besides the impeccable working ethics, Mr Askari provided his professional advise with sophisticated elegant taste for my future possible projects in the house.

**★★★★★ — User, Nov. 2017**

> Steve was very professional, stayed on top of the project providing updates step by step of the way. He really made working with him very easy and transparent. We will definitely be working with Steve again!
