ACC/Acumen Construction Co. built a beautiful pergola for our house. We
wanted to add something to our back yard to accent the house and provide cover
for a large table. We found a few pictures that represented what we were
looking for - and Al made it a reality! The detail and workmanship in his work
is something we just don’t see with other builders. Al was a pleasure to work
with and we are already working with him on new projects.

During the past 18 years, we have lived in three different houses.  As we turned each house into a home, we took on one kind of renovation or another. The first house needed a deck and, as our family became more active, a finished basement. 

 House number two needed the family bath completely renovated and we later decided to enclose the patio and make it into a sunroom.  Our current home came with a unfinished basement and deck that was beginning to deteriorate, so once again the projects began. 

 Each one of these makeovers was completed by Al Montahen.  We can honestly say we have been more than satisfied.  Al is a pleasure to work with.  He listens to your ideas, gives good advice regarding the best and most affordable way to realize your dreams, and completes the work quickly and with a great degree of professionalism.

  Obviously, we would not have been calling on Al for the past 18 years if we didn’t feel he was the best in the business.

Dear Al, 

I have never written a testimonial in my life, but I wanted to let you know that you have a very satisfied customer in Villanova, PA. 

When we started researching potential contractors for our remodeling we spoke to lots of friends and heard horror story after horror story about contractors not being responsive, taking weeks between visits (to presumably finish other jobs), making mistakes and getting charged more than the planned budget etc.

Thankfully we had a great experience.  You gave us a very thorough quote, explained it in detail, committed to a start date a budget and a timeframe that were all very aggressive and completed the job in six weeks on time and on budget.  Very impressive!

I never thought we could get the basement and attic completely demolished and re-built out in six weeks much less the two main floors with all new crown moldings, refinishing of our wood floors, installing the new French doors, painting all four floors and laying down the carpet.  

We have a beautiful interior now and still have some work to do outside, so we will be calling you again soon I am sure.  I have told my story many times and will always recommend you if someone is looking for a good contractor for jobs of any size.

Thank you from the Kleczka family

Dear Al,

We thank you for the great job you and your workers did on the deck replacement job. Your workmanship was excellent and timely, and we greatly appreciate you keeping us well informed about the progress of the job. Your openness and honesty was much appreciated. We will not hesitate to use your services in the future as we will feel assured that you and your workers will provide professional and courteous workmanship at a reasonable price.

Sincerely,

Mr. & Mrs. William Auxer

 Finding a good contractor can be frustrating. All you want is a quality job, at a fair price by a contractor you can trust. In Acumen Builders we found all that and more. Al's work is amazing! About ten years ago Al remodeled one of our bathrooms. Since then he has remodeled another bathroom and powder room, refinished basement, remodeled kitchen, raised the ceiling in our family room, built a portico on the front of our house, replaced siding with stucco on house, replaced the roof and installed a patio.

The quality of Al's work is great for several reasons. He works with us on our ideas meticulously analyzing the efficacy of our plans. He tells us if plan will compromise the building structure or if over the long hall a material or design will not hold up. Many contractors will do whatever is asked of them for the sake of getting the job regardless of the consequences down the road. Being a perfectionist, even the final details are done with precision and built for beauty and durability.

Over the years we have become friends with Al and his wife Faye-not surprisingly since he has literally remodeled just about every room in the house. We sincerely invite you to call us or stop over to talk with us and see the work that Al has done.

Again, knowing that such a major investment will be professionally done, at a fair price, with quality craftsmanship makes a potentially stressful project a fun and rewarding experience.

Dear Al,

      It is my pleasure to write this letter of recommendation to attest to the high quality of your company's work in the design, and installation of our kitchen and bath, front addition and basement.  
       I especially appreciated how cleanly the kitchen cabinets were installed and how nothing was left undone. For example, I did not have to spend time wiping out cabinets, nor did I have to further contract for plumbing or electrical hookup.
