Aston Black

Every expectation of mine was exceeded by Aston Black. You will truly never regret your decision to do any home project with this company. The skill, professionalism, personal touch, care, communication, quality of work...every single detail, big and small, was 10/10 5 stars! I was actually sad when our kitchen remodel was over because it was truly a pleasure and honor to have Mark and Zane working on our kitchen. The project started out with multiple consultation meetings with Mark followed by a very thoughtful design. Mark guided me, made suggestions, and listened to what was important to me. The time he spent going over every little detail of the project really meant a lot. Another thing that was very important to us was budget. Our kitchen remodel (including demoing of a wall and combining the dining room and kitchen, 4 new windows, relocating plumbing and gas + re-wrapping of front porch posts) was our first remodel project and budget was very important to us. Mark worked with us to create allowances for the project to ensure we had a good idea of what the project would cost in the end. Once we signed the contract the project kicked off without a hitch. There were truly no surprises and Zane's daily communication was next level. I knew the plan for each day and who would be at my house and what work would be happening that day. Zane followed up end of day with progress pictures almost daily. The Aston Black team was on-site every day until the project was complete. They were also mindful of me working from home everyday when it came to noise (I was shocked at how quiet the project was overall!) I really can't say enough good things. I am thankful to have found a company I could truly trust every step of the way. They even took time out of their schedule to fix small issues they saw that were outside of the scope of work. For example, when putting a vent in the garage for the range hood, they noticed our garage door opener was loose and (after checking with us to ensure it was okay) installed three new bolts to secure the opener. Another example of this was when they they reenforced the threshold on a door in our garage (again not even part of the project). Another thing I appreciated was Mark using his contractor discount at Pottery Barn to help me order pendants and kitchen stools. I would also like to mention Randy (eclectic, gas, plumbing), Steve (carpenter) and Mark T. (painter), as they were all excellent at what they do, friendly and a joy to have in our home. Aston Black and their team truly feels like family! You will never have a better team than Aston Black. They are the gold standard!

From the initial consultation, I knew Aston Black was the right choice for this renovation. I remember saying, “I don’t want any surprises” and I experienced none. Communication throughout this project was nothing short of stellar. The project plan, daily updates, etc. just outstanding. I couldn’t have had a better Project Manager than Zane. Zero stress. All the people who worked on this job were professional and hardworking. The craftsmanship is exceptional, especially the custom cabinets. I am absolutely thrilled with the outcome and cannot wait to use my new kitchen!

Overall, we had a positive experience with Aston Black and would recommend them for a kitchen renovation. Mark was extremely professional during every aspect of the project. We had our entire first floor replaced with hardwood and renovated our kitchen all within less than 7 weeks! Every contractor was on time, clean and professional. The communication from Zane, our project manager was on point. He was on site every morning and communicated through texts about what was being completed, upcoming work, and decisions needed. We felt very supported and cared for during the process, especially when things were challenging. On a Friday afternoon, one of the cabinet guys punctured a pipe leading to our bathrooms and it flooded our unfinished basement. Yes, it was a mess. Yes, unexpected things happen during a renovation… but the way Aston Black handled it was amazing! We basically had to unload our storage room of soaking wet boxes/ totes into our finished area which happened to be our ONLY living space during the project. We also happened to be heading out of town for the weekend. Zane and Mark spent the entire weekend in our basement to dry it out with fans and dehumidifiers. They also re-packaged every item and put it back into our storage room. We came home to a dry, clean and organized, comfortable basement. What a relief!! We understand mistakes happen. Aston Black handled this mistake better than I could have imagined. We are loving our new space and we are grateful for a wonderful experience with Aston Black!!

Mark and his team did an amazing job with our complete kitchen remodel! The craftsmanship and attention to detail is second to none. Mark worked with us throughout the design, planning, execution, and completion phases. The project started 2 weeks before COVID-19 impacted businesses throughout the country but Mark did his best to work with the local authorities to legally and professionally continue to work and minimize any delays to the project. Mark patiently addressed any and all concerns and the many detailed questions we had. Every member of Aston Black team were very professional and genuinely cared about doing the best quality job for our kitchen and nothing ever felt rushed. We highly recommend Aston Black to anyone considering a kitchen remodel from a true craftsman.

Mark and the Aston Black team were absolutely amazing!!! Not only is the quality of the work incredible but they were an absolute pleasure to work with! We started the project just a few months before our wedding and we were stressed and multitasking the whole time but Mark and the team gave us peace of mind and we were confident the whole time in their work. I really cannot say enough good things about the team and the work. No minor detail was too small for them. They came up with some awesome ideas on how to make the work even better, they took the time to understand what was important to us and they really went above and beyond making the project great!! We have already recommended them to many friends, family and co workers!

Mark Aston Black provided us with the highest level of service and product that you could ask for. They were a homeowner's dream in the middle of a substantial and tiring home renovation project. We absolutely loved the finished cabinetry and would use them again and recommend them over and over. The field workers were also too both and deserve special mention as well. Thank you Mark and team! Jennifer Farnham, Chester Springs Pa

Aston Black completed all of our cabinetry in our new home. It is beautiful and was professionally installed. Our home is unique and special due to our custom cabinets throughout the kitchen, baths and living room. We just hired them again to finish our laundry room with custom cabinetry! Mark Black is professional and very easy to work with and the whole company is proud of their work as they should be!

Mark and the team at Aston Black did an outstanding job on our home renovation. The results far exceeded our expectations, which I can honestly state has neve been the case in any previous home improvement work that we have commissioned with others. Mark's eye for design is second to none, and it is augmented by practicality and know-how. He was extremely patient and willing to make changes throughout the process. His people and sub-contractors were preofessional and quite capable. I wholeheartedly recommend their services and would readily use them again.

I hired Aston Black for design work and for cabinets. The design was excellent and the cabinets were better than expected. The quality of the cabinets is excellent. I would not hesitate to have Aston Black provide cabinets on future projects.

In early 2015 we hired Aston Black Cabinetry to help us renovate our 1779 Chester County farmhouse kitchen. Our objective was to update the kitchen and to give it a "fresh farmhouse" look without losing the integrity of the original house. We also added a small, 2 story addition next to the kitchen, giving us a much needed mudroom/laundry room on the first floor and a much desired walk-in closet on the second floor. Mark Black (owner and designer) met with us at our home and helped us design a kitchen that was functional and fresh, incorporating all the modern appliances, but keeping with a country feel by using soapstone sinks and counters. Understanding our goals and personal tastes, Mark spent countless hours with us working on the perfect design for all 3 rooms. During the process, he was readily available and agreeable to last minute changes or additions as we came up with new ideas. As our exquisite cabinets were being installed, Mark was here to oversee the installation and make sure everything was perfect. His attention to detail went so far as having the electric sockets painted to match the cabinets! Besides being extremely talented, he is a great person and was a pleasure to work with. Working with Aston Black exceeded our expectations! We would highly recommend them for anyone who is in the market; Aston Black is second to none!

Paul and Charles installed our wrought iron balusters exactly as hoped. Their measurements were precise and their installation was meticulous. A nice bonus was that their cleanup was immaculate. We were so happy with their work that they will be working on other home projects for us.

Aston Black provided a excellent product. They are very professional.We needed our project done in a timely manner and they came through. They did back to back kitchens for us and I would recommend ASTON BLACK any,day of the week.
