Dear Aaron,

Ginny and I hope you that you and your family had a Merry Christmas!

We wanted to write you a note and let you know how much we have been enjoying the screened porch that you built for us earlier this year.

When we first met, we shared some of our thoughts with you on what the final product would look like, and you exceeded our expectations in every way! Your attention to detail is evident in every aspect of your work, from the incredible ceiling, to tying the roofline into the rest of the house, and ultimately your timely completion of this project.

Whenever we have company, they all remark on the quality craftsmanship and the design that you developed taking advantage of the deck that was in place, turning it into a beautful addition to our home. Although we interviewed several contractors for this job, we are delighted that you were able to provide a very competitive proposal, and deliver what we believe to be a far superior outdoor living space.

Best wished for a healthy and prosperous New Year and please feel free to include us as one of your very satisfied clients.

Sincerely,

Peter Mayer

Aaron:

I wanted to drop you a quick note to let your team know how much I appreciated the work done on our home last fall.

1. Your company came highly recommended by a friend of mine.
2. When I called you about coming to our home to give us an estimate, we made the appointment and you came out when you said you were going to come out.
3. Youre team was professional.
4. Your team cleaned up after the work done each day and they did not leave a mess.
5. We did not have to call you to come back and fix or repair any items because the work was done complete and right the first time.

Sincerely,

Steve Bartel


During the summer of 2009 our family contracted AJ Construction to remodel a foreclosed home we purchased.  We were able to purchase the home at a discount due to the large amount of remodeling work that needed to be done to make the home presentable. 

We interviewed several licensed contractors and were very pleased that we ultimately decide to work with Aaron Parkkonen with AJ Construction.  Aaron was able to not only listen to our needs and budget but was able to make recommendations that we would not have thought about before and during the project. Aaron used his experience to ensure that our renovations resulted in added value for our home.  

Aaron provided us with timely quotes all along the way with the project that enabled us to consult our budget and make the best decisions as to where our dollars should be spent.  Aaron also provided us with a realistic timeline for completion and was able to adhere to it, so we could schedule our move dates appropriately. 

Early on in the process I recall having a conversation with Aaron describing the fact that this was not an investment property, but rather a home for my family. Aaron stated that he would not leave a project without knowing that it met his personal standards, even if that meant he would lose money on the deal. Aaron was true to his word and my family could not be happier with the end result. 

Sincerely,

Eric and Callie Cable 


Dear Aaron: 

We just wanted to take the time to send you a letter of recommendation for the work that you completed on our master bath.  You did an amazing job! 

Your craftsmanship and attention to detail makes the bath look great.  You were very easy to work with and you were willing to make changes and additions to the plan, even at the last minute. 

We also want to say how much we appreciated you keeping the dust and construction debris to a minimum.  Only a small part of our home was disrupted with the construction process and we did not have to worry about the dust being tracked from one end of the house to the other.     

You are very detail oriented and I know that the construction you did in our home would be to the same measure as you would do in your own. 

Thank you so much for making our master bath the retreat that we were looking for! 

Sincerely, 

Gene and Shannon Batson


Dear Aaron:

We just wanted to tell you how happy we are with the outcome of the renovation of our basement. Of course, since it has been the same way since 1985, anything would have been an improvement, but the difference is amazing. Friends that know what it looked like before say that it looks like a different house.

The one thing that we liked was that we could tell you what we wanted and you took care of everything.  We told you crown molding, doors, recessed lighting, etc. and we didn’t have to go and pick something out and then get back to you – you handled everything.  Everything that was done was done first class.

You also pointed out and suggested improvements but didn’t pressure us to have them done. All of the things you recommended finished off the rooms and made them look complete. We had no idea that little things could make such a big difference.

We appreciate your hard work and the timeliness in which it was done. You and your crew put in some long days. We will let you know when we are ready to start on our next phase.

Sincerely, 

Warren and Judy Sandall


We are very thrilled with the work Aaron and his team did for us on replacing an old second-story deck with a new one last fall.  We worked out the details of what we wanted with him, and he gave us a very fair quote that he stuck to—no surprise expenses.  His advice was very helpful, and we ended up with a 2/3 covered porch and 1/3 open deck—his idea and it works perfectly!  The construction is top-notch.  The local inspector that came to approve construction was very impressed with the quality and attention to detail—it is a structure that will last many years.  Per our request, he also poured a concrete pad under the deck which is where we keep our dogs when it’s raining.  That, too, works perfectly.  He also kept to his schedule to start and finish.  He let us know if there were any delays, so communication was excellent. 

All in all, I highly recommend Aaron and Building the Upstate for your remodeling and/or building projects! 

Sincerely, 

Roland & Lynnea Stadelmann


Aaron Parkkonen and AJ Construction have exceeded all expectations as custom home builder.  From the first meeting it was clear that he was determined to deliver the home of your dreams.  Aaron’s ability to listen and work with you on the best design concepts for the greatest value is excellent.  Once the project begins you will clearly notice that he uses the finest quality materials.  You will also clearly notice that he goes above and beyond the normal building codes to build a solid well built home.  His skill level, efficiency and getting it right the first time is unmatched.  I would recommend Aaron Parkkonen and AJ Construction to build the custom home of your dreams.

Sincerely,

Steve Martin


Aaron was by far the most professional and honest contractor that I have had the pleasure of working with to date. He provided great value and quality for the price. After he started the job(adding a screened-in porch) he worked til completion without any lapses in activity. He kept us informed and did all the extras that you don't expect. We were extremely pleased and would recommend him highly. We are asking him to provide estimates for other work we need around the house.
