Aron and his team are the by far the best we have seen in the 40 years we have owned our house. This includes HVAC, Concrete, Roofing, Painting, Remodel, Gutters and everything else. Aron and his team are not only installers, but they are artisans at the highest level of their game. We have never seen such efficiency, attention to detail and professionalism from any other contractors/builders. To say they are the best, is an understatement. Our retaining wall tiles fell off during our driveway demolition, due to poor installation work. Aron built a beautiful wall of cultured stone tiles that will last, as well as make our house more beautiful. We were lucky to have found Cutting Edge, and you will be too. Cannot make a higher recommendation. Call Aron.
We could not have found anyone better to fix our three chimneys. Aron worked quickly, reliably and professionally. Very reasonably priced. He and his team were excellent. We almost wish we had more chimneys. We’ve already recommended him to two friends. We cannot say enough good things. He is absolutely the best you’ll find for the work, no exaggeration.
We hired Aron to complete masonry work on our new fireplace/hearth. The end result turned out great! His communication throughout the entire process could not have been better. Any cost increases/decreases due to design changes were brought up before any work was started, so the final invoice was not a surprise. He pays very close attention to detail, even when it comes to cleaning up after the work has been complete. Would love to use Aron on another project.
