BjornAgain Restoration

Bjorn Again Restoration remodeled our kitchen in the summer of 2015. From the very first meeting, Lars was attentive, warm, detail oriented, and very communicative. The quality of his work is superb– he is a true craftsman, something that is rare to find these days, and he has superb aesthetic taste. He made many very appreciated suggestions about what direction we could go– we were somewhat overwhelmed by all the decisions that had to be made about paint, tile, trim, countertops… but never pushed his own opinions or agenda. We came to rely heavily on his artistic/​visual judgment, and he never led us astray. He is a jack of all trades and a master of many– his tile work, dry wall, texturizing, trim and painting work is impeccable. Recently we had him update a bedroom that had not been touched since the house was built in the 50s; he was able to install trim and moulding impeccably to non-​square, 60 year old walls and doorways. With that said, he knows what he is good at, and will not attempt tasks that are not his specialty; he cares more about doing things properly than making a buck, and will recommend a plumber, electrician, etc as necessary.
As mentioned, his communication is fantastic in person, via phone, and text message; he kept us in the loop on all progress, what workers were expected, and in what time frame. He is very tidy; this is hugely appreciated when you are living in the home that is being worked on. At the end of every day he and his crew tidied up and stowed away as much gear as possible; they swept and threw away trash as they went and did all they could to minimize dust and spatter in the non-​construction areas of the house. Overall they were just very considerate and respectful of our home and possessions. This is no minor thing, and again is definitely not always the case with construction. In addition, he is just a fun person to chat with– smart and interesting and easy to be around. When you have someone in your home for extended periods of time, this is a highly desirable quality.
We have young children, and having people in our home can be a bit worrisome. I appreciated that Lars takes great care in the people that he works with and brought into our home; they are people he has worked with extensively in the past, that he vouched for personally. He did a truly amazing job on our kitchen (as the pictures show), and we have since had him remodel an office and the room of our new son.
Lars does incredible, high quality work and is a great person to boot– we recommend him unreservedly.

Lars is an incredible contractor to work with because he is both competent and warm hearted. He will actually listen accurately to what you want and then give a product that is even better than expected. He is dependable and honest in his work. I have used his services 5 times now over the last 10 years for a bathroom construction, roofing, home remodel, painting, and general construction help. I recommend him highly.

Lars has completed various jobs in my condo and the common space outside. I trust Lars to consistently do good work. Lars is professional, talented and reliable and I highly recommend for any repair, construction or renovation work.

I’ve been using Unilocal to see reviews for years now but have never left a review. The great service I’ve been receiving from Lars has given me the motivation to break that pattern. As a new homeowner with pets, small children and valuable personal belongings, working with someone I trust is a huge necessity. Lars made me feel very comfortable from the moment I met him while he was working at my neighbor’s house. After that introduction, seeing his work for myself, and asking my neighbor about him I decided to move forward with using his services. He’s done several jobs for me since then — both interior & exterior –and I couldn’t be more happy. Prices are reasonable, quality of work is extraordinary and he’s a true pleasure to have at our home. The whole family has grown to enjoy him and his kind nature. We also love and enjoy the improvements he makes to our living environment inside and outside our home! Thank you so much Lars!

Lars came highly recommended from a work colleague. I hired him to paint a room in our home and do some touch up work outside our home. He did a great job and he was very clean, detailed and professional. I will be hiring him again!

Lars fixed and restained deck for us. He did excellent job and it did more that I asked.
He was very clean, detail orientated and he did a great job.
I just hired him to another job.
