Al and his team finished our basement. He handled everything from design/permitting through construction. Based on our experience, I'd recommend him for any project. Very responsive, extremely professional, finished on time and on budget. We bid out our basement to 3 different contractors and Al was by far the most reasonably priced. He also finished within the quoted time. We were very happy with how the project turned out. The basement is awesome! Will be calling him for our next project for sure.

Thus guy is just looking for cake and doesn't lift a finger. He's just going to contract the work out to others and pocket the difference. Dude literally and rudely told me "i only want to do full basement finishes im not interested in only doing the framing".well sorry dude i can do the rest myself. Not interested?!? Diva you are in the wrong field. Just a complete idiot from the get go. He fumbled around with his phone for like 20 seconds before muttering a weak and squeaky hello.

Al did a great job for us: got started right away, worked with multiple design ideas, did everything to code, responded quickly and clearly, and hardly disrupted our routine at all. Leroy the framer was highly efficient and friendly. Our questions and concerns were all addressed throughout the process. We had a few other bids, too, and Al Kulenski was the most affordable. Glad to have discovered him.

Al Kulenski has finished our basement. We selected Al based on several great references from our neighbors. He was so great to deal with that we extended the scope of our project to include a kitchen remodel. His quote was accurate and he finished on time. I would highly recommend.

Al and his son finished part of our basement a few years ago. The work they did was great and we have had no issues. We hope that soon we can use his services again for a basement bathroom.

I needed an after-the-fact basement permit on my home and I called Al. He was very professional. He went through the whole process of getting a permit. He worked with the Fort Collins city inspector to make the changes required to get the basement up to current code standards. I was very grateful for the timely & professional help, and would recommend him. He was worth every penny, and sets the standards high for contract workers. He always answers the phone. Make sure you avoid texting if a back-and-forth is required - he's old school :
