“My family had Aaron Bollman oversee, plan, and undertake a complete renovation of our bathroom this summer and it was one of the best decisions we ever made regarding our home in Saugerties that we’ve owned for nearly 40 years. Mr. Bollmann’s care, consideration, thoughtfulness, creativity, and know-how regarding bathroom design and remodeling is exceptional, second to none. Throughout the process he discussed best options, provided comparative scenarios for implementing new lighting, glass shower panels, tiles, hardware, ventilation, and even radiant heating under the tile floor—something we can no longer live without. The resulting product was a completely transformed bathroom, with more accessible and intuitive cabinets, faucets, and storage. Overall, Mr. Bollman—who has decades of experience and a distinguished portfolio of New York City high end remodels—did a remarkable job, creating an exquisite space and highly amenable bathroom that makes every aspect of the room completely enjoyable to experience. We most highly recommend Mr. Bollman and his team—for his superior work, craftsmanship, design creativity, and vision.”

“As a first time customer, I would definitely recommend A&B Home Repair. I hired Bruce on short notice to rebuild my front steps, deck and skirting. I showed Bruce a picture of what I had in mind and pointed out some challenges to the existing porch. Bruce came up with the perfect solution to my decking dilemma, where other contractors had not even considered. The project was completed exactly as I envisioned and within the required timeframe. It was a pleasant surprise to find not only a competent and dependable contractor/carpenter but, also one who is customer oriented and easy to work with.”
