They took a little used living room and den and turned it into a beautiful bedroom, walk-in closet, and showroom ready bathroom. His wife, Julia, designed the space, while Alex and his workers made everything to perfect specifications, including making doors. They used upscale materials, had to overcome some plumbing and lighting challenges, and guided the project to a perfect finish. I would trust Alex with ANY home project, he's fair in his pricing, honest with his opinions, and trustworthy in all areas. And he's a nice guy! **★★★★★ — Ron and Pam Sobecks, Aug. 2023** > This review is meant to convey the professionalism, excellence, and quality of work my wife and I received from Alex and his people at Forte Builders. He took the time to show us the quality of a construction he had underway, which gave us confidence in his work. Alex was patient and personally listened to our every need, had CAD layouts generated of what our kitchen, bathrooms and family room could look like, then gave us a proposal. After several iterations between us, we developed the plan on what we really wanted and how we would proceed. > Compared to other builders he offered us the best quality of cabinets for kitchen and vanities, gave us the most reasonable and honest pricing, and proceeded with a very dedicated response until the job was completed. Whenever changes had to be made, by my wife or myself, Alex’s response would always be “no problem!” Most often he got it done without changing his original estimate of time and charges. When are our construction was done, he never forgot us, and came by several times for new things we wanted done. And in the process, he has truly become a good friend. **★★★★★ — Alex Philip, Dec. 2022** > Alex and and his team did an amazing job on our kitchen remodel. They helped with design at first and managed the entire project from start to finish until everything was perfect and to our taste. Most of the time they had to work long hours to get everything done. They are a group of professional and experienced workers who work as a team and get the job done on time with exceptional quality. Strongly recommend for any remodeling!!! **★★★★★ — Melissa Sattler, Jan. 2020** > We hired Alex to put in an entirely new kitchen (as in, it was a conference room and we turned it into a kitchen!). I thought it would be cost-prohibitive and have too long of a timeline to be feasible — to my surprise, it was neither. I felt Forte's prices were incredibly fair (in line with the other proposal we got), and the timeline was shockingly fast. Their team showed up exactly when they said they would, worked quietly and cleanly, and completed the job faster and better than I could have ever expected. Even with a few little changes along the way (choices we were making), they were able to adjust, accommodate, and stay on schedule. > > We hired Forte for the second time to remove a wall in our office. Again, I thought it would take forever and be very expensive and it was neither! They were in an out in one week, and you would never even know they were there. The job seemed so complicated to me — there were multiple ceiling heights and finishes, carpet to repair, plumbing and electrical to relocate... Alex and his team made it seem easy. Now that I know them, I have renewed excitement for home renovation projects. I look forward to hiring him again in the future. **★★★★★ — HU-774019174, Jan. 2020** > Alex and his crew has done a lot of projects for our company. They have done painting and plumbing and many other odds and ends for us. They have done a great job for us over the past 3 years. He and is crew is very friendly and honest. We work with him on many occasions still to this day. I would recommend him to anyone. **★★★★★ — Shasha Kermah, Aug. 2019** > Needed to change my floor to wood urgently and Alex came to the rescue. He found time out of his busy schedule in that short time to help me make the right choice of material. He and his crew were on time, very professional and did a great job with that short notice. The quality of the floor has brought a new look to my home and my family, friends and I really love it. I highly recommend Fortes, will definitely be using them for my future projects. Thank you Alex. **★★★★★ — Brian Skinner, Jan. 2018** > We have worked with I-Forte on numerous occasions. Alex and his team are true professionals - they do amazing work at a very reasonable cost. They are extremely creative, and always offer suggestions to really make a project unique. They are perfectionists at heart and often go well above and beyond to ensure a project is done right. I highly recommend i-Forte to anyone looking for a great experience with a remodel/home improvement project! ## Selected projects - [Lake-Shore Condo](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-shore-condo-pj-vj~5452077) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 41 - [Remodeled Ranch in Middleburg Heights](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/remodeled-ranch-in-middleburg-heights-pj-vj~2931365) - Location: Middleburg Heights, OH - Photos: 11 - [Shaker](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/shaker-pj-vj~2931349) - Location: Shaker Heights, OH - Photos: 10 - [House in Broadview Hieghts](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/house-in-broadview-hieghts-pj-vj~5451428) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - [Exterior](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/exterior-pj-vj~5452010) - Location: North Royalton, OH - Photos: 6 - [Elmwood House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/elmwood-house-pj-vj~2857442) - Location: Lakewood, OH - Photos: 18 - [Bathroom Cleveland](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bathroom-cleveland-pj-vj~5511464) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Modern Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-bathroom-pj-vj~2931376) - Location: Westlake, OH - Photos: 10 - Description: This bathroom is featured with a curbless shower, heated floors, freestanding bathtub with air bulbs, TOTO toilet, KOHLER medicine cabinets, skylight window with the remote control, upscale HANSGROHE faucets, fan PANASONIC Whisper Ceiling, and a huge modern style vanity - [Modern Fireplace](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-fireplace-pj-vj~5450193) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Cranford](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cranford-pj-vj~2931362) - Location: Lakewood, OH - Photos: 5 - [Staircase renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/staircase-renovation-pj-vj~5701590) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 24 - [Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/addition-pj-vj~5451958) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Decorative Walls](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/decorative-walls-pj-vj~5452179) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Dust Protection](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dust-protection-pj-vj~5701562) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Basement Crack Repairing](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/basement-crack-repairing-pj-vj~5701054) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Solon](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/solon-pj-vj~2931352) - Location: Solon, OH - Photos: 9 - [New life in the old garage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-life-in-the-old-garage-pj-vj~5450148) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Old Money](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/old-money-pj-vj~2931381) - Location: Cleveland, OH - Photos: 1 - [Home Bar](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/home-bar-pj-vj~2931372) - Location: Cleveland, OH - Photos: 2 - [London](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/london-pj-vj~2931367) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 [See all 25 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/general-contractors/forte-builders-inc-pfvwus-pf~60114702) ## Ideabooks - [My Home](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/133819757/list/my-home) — 75 ideas - [Home Theater](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/104361959/list/home-theater) — 3 ideas - [modern style](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/59106623/list/modern-style) — 2 ideas - [gorgeous exterior](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/73278979/list/gorgeous-exterior) — 1 idea - [kitchens which I like](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/73278570/list/kitchens-which-i-like) — 3 ideas - [aleksandrforte's Ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/55459981/list/aleksandrforte-s-ideas) — 6 ideas - [I-FORTE's Ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/45538397/list/i-forte-s-ideas) — 14 ideas [See all 7 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/aleksandrforte) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
