Alex helped us install additional stair railings to match the existing ones for our house. He got back to us quickly with a quote for this small project. Communication and scheduling the time was easy. The crew showed up on time and timely completed the project as proposed. They did a great job. We are happy with the work and would work with Alex and his team again.

ENLIGHTENED BATH WORKS/ENLIGHTENED REMODELING did a great job designing and renovating a bathroom in an upscale rental. In particular, they did a great job blending custom tile work with an affordable shower system. I couldnt be more pleased with both the results and price of the project. I would highly recommend this company and plan to use them for all my bathroom remodeling projects.

I had a difficult time finding a contractor to do a small job, backsplash in the kitchen. Enlightened Remodeling was recommended by Tile and Designs. The group of workers arrive on time, were very friendly, did an excellent job and cleaned up after themselves! I would highly recommended Alex and crew!

We will always be using Alex and his team at Enlightened Remodeling for our projects. Our kitchen turned out so well. Communication is easy with him and his team, which seems simple but sometimes is not at all. Hes trustworthy and reliable and does good work... all at good price.

Enlightened Remodeling is the contractor that I *wish* I had hired to do my bathroom remodel. Instead, I went with a cheaper, larger company, who only does shower conversions but assured me they had an independent contractor who could handle doing the rest of the bathroom. The independent contractor completely botched his end of the job. However, despite the fact that I went with the other guy, Alex was still sympathetic and helpful when I needed to find someone to fix what the other guy botched. While Alex was too booked up to do the job himself, he was able to refer us to a subcontractor that he works with to fix up our bathroom. The guy he referred us to was great and had everything looking a lot better in a very timely manner. I dont know what we would have done without Alexs referral. Alex is definitely the kind of stand-up contractor that you want working on your project.

Alex and his team did a tremendous job converting our fiberglass bathtub into a tiled walk in shower. He was easy to work with and definitely came in much lower on price than the big guys. Despite challenges with our 100 year old house, they were able to pivot and make changes as necessary. His team even worked over the weekend and a holiday to get the job done. Highly recommend them

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Alex, and the team at Enlightened Remodeling, during the inspection contingency phase for several of my clients’ home purchases. Alex and his team have been incredibly helpful, providing thorough assessments and detailed estimates for necessary maintenance and repairs.They are consistently prompt, professional, and courteous, which makes the process much smoother for both myself and my clients. Their expertise and reliable service have made them a trusted partner, and I highly recommend Enlightened Remodeling for anyone in need of honest, high-quality home renovation and repair services.

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of working with Enlightened Remodeling for a complete bathroom remodel, and we couldn’t be happier with the results!From our first meeting, Matt listened carefully to our needs, offered thoughtful suggestions, and quickly followed up with a very reasonable proposal. Once the project began, he made sure everything—from demolition to the final finishing touches—stayed on schedule and within budget.Joe, Travis, and Martin were exceptional. Their professionalism, expertise, and keen attention to detail truly stood out. We were especially impressed with their communication, as they kept us informed at every stage of the process. When an issue arose with the company providing the countertop slab and sink, Enlightened Remodeling stepped in to help. Without Matt and Joe advocating on our behalf, we would have struggled to navigate and resolve the mess the other company had created. They ensured we ended up with the bathroom we had envisioned.If youre looking for a reliable, skilled, and customer-focused remodeling company, we highly recommend Enlightened Remodeling!

My husband and I hired Enlightened after being left in a lurch by a different contractor who started the work but stopped showing up. Enlightened was able to come in to our partially started remodel, fix all the errors made by the prior contractor and transform our space into exactly what we asked for. With Enlightened’s help we were able to make some better design choices to fit our space and needs. Alex was always responsive to issues that popped up or questions we had. Whenever there was a hitch in plans (i.e. problems with prior work) our team was always quick to come up with an appropriate solution and plan. My husband and I are incredibly grateful Enlightened was able to get our home finished and functional and helping to restore our faith in professionals.

We had a great experience with Enlightened Remodeling. They successfully added a bathroom and office space to our tricky low ceiling, large ductwork basement. We talked with many other companies, and were told by everyone else that it would be too difficult or weird, but Enlightened was able to make it work, and it looks really nice! They were very detail oriented, and great at answering all of my many questions.

Alex and crew were great to work with. Our bathroom is so, so much better now. And the price was very reasonable. If Im looking to do any other home renovations Ill be reaching out to them.

We had a complete remodel of our Condo in Pittsburgh. The job was completed in a timely manner and the end result was amazing. Alex was very professional and communicated with us regularly. We cant say enough positive things about this company.

Alex, Matt, Jesse, and their crew were a pleasure to work with as they took over a project which a prior contractor was unable to finish. They are very knowledgeable, as well as always remained very professional and responsive throughout the entire process of redesigning and finishing a bathroom with standup shower, tile on the walls, double vanity, and soaking bathtub. They also repaired and updated electrical and plumbing issues which were caused by the prior contractor on the job. Jesse and his crews attention to detail were impeccable. I look forward to working with Enlightened Remodeling in future home renovation projects and would recommend them to anyone.

Thanks to Enlightened we now have a full luxury bathroom with steam shower. The attention to detail is excellent. From the tile work to plumbing they simply do it all. Friendly and professional management and technicians. I strongly recommend Enlightened for any home improvement projects.

I can’t recommend Enlightened enough. The price is very fair for the quality of work that you get. The guys working on our project are very kind and respectful. Their attention to detail is really amazing. We’ve had lots of tile work and carpentry work done by them and everything has been 5 stars. They have been very adaptable with our schedule knowing that we are living at our home through our renovation project. Overall, I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a home renovation project. Not a single complaint.

Everything we read and heard about their service rang true in our experience. The contractor was fantastic. Good guy, professional, clean, showed up on time, we could tell he enjoys what he does, and he did an excellent job. He was even happy to accommodate an additional request to our job and came back early an extra morning to complete it with pleasure. So refreshing.These guys are the real deal and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them at the highest level!

Alex & his crew (Matt & Joe) were great to work with! Their team was 100% all in and committed to my project until completion. They were responsive to questions and concerns, accommodated requests and provided meaningful recommendations for the best outcome. The work was completed in a timely fashion and looks incredible. I love my new bathrooms and will definitely call them again for any future projects. Thanks guys!

We picked Enlightened Remodeling for a complete renovation of one of our bathrooms. Matt, Joe and their crew were absolutely wonderful to work with!Matt was incredibly responsive and got back to us very quickly during our initial inquiry. He listened while I explained some of our concerns with the way our bathroom is now, uncovered some less than ideal work done by whoever came before then and gave recommendations as far as materials to help us achieve our ideal bathroom. He got back to me quickly with a bid for what we had discussed and took time to answer the many questions that followedMatt and Joe worked were super easy on and helped me with hiccups that came up (a tub not working for the layout of our bathroom the way we thought and the tweaks that came with changing that, furnishings being out of stock etc) and on a larger issue of our actual subfloor rotting. Obviously we hadnt known that was a problem during the initial consultation and they worked with us on a fair price that wouldnt completely throw us over budgetJoe, Rich and the rest of the team spent the next two weeks; which I wholeheartedly believe would have been less had my subfloor not been in dire need of saving; giving us an amazing bathroom. The finish product is gorgeous and leagues above what it had been before.Im very much a person that leans into practicality over aesthetic, my bathroom just needed to be a bathroom so Im in awe of the work they managed to do and the finished product that came out of what Im sure are very basic picksMy kids who are all notoriously hard customers love it too. My teenager is begging to have her bathroom redone and my son has says this is his favorite bathroom ever. I also havent been able to pry my husband out since we got homeWe will be back for any future bathroom or kitchen remodels and will be recommending them highly to all our family/friends

Im a real estate agent and Ive referred many clients to Alex and his team. Theyve always been present and available with helpful follow up even for small things. Theyre great communicators, transparent and friendly, and its a joy to work with Alex and crew.

I am writing this endorsement for Alex Avakian, co-owner of Enlightened Remodeling. There are a lot of things I could say about Alex, all of which are positive. But I want to use one phrase that I heard 50 years ago from my grandfather.When my grandfather wanted to tell me about someone who was really special and a person of integrity and honor, he would say, “He was a prince of a man”. He used this description very rarely and only for people whom he really respected.Alex Avakian is a prince of a man.

Enlightened installed a bathroom on our first floor in a space that was a large walk-in closet. The project turned out better than I expected, on budget, and on time. Joe and Matt were exceedingly kind and cared about the minute details I wanted. They were also very tidy (and nice to my dog!). Alex is a great guy to work with- very responsive, very nice. Im definitely going to use them for future projects!

I reached out to Alex while searching for a contractor to complete a kitchen and dining room renovation. Alex was always accessible and very easy to get ahold of with any questions or concerns. From the first time we met with Alex, my husband and I trusted him with our home and project. Alex and his team were thorough and very detail oriented. As a family with three small children, the crew tidied up at the end of each day so we could continue living safely through the renovation. I appreciated Alex’s professional input in addition to that of his foreman, Ed. We will definitely be using Enlightened Remodeling in the future.

Clients had a tricky issue with shower that no one else was willing to handle. The team tackled it over a weekend, even working on their day off to ensure it wouldn’t throw off other folks schedules. Great work and customer service.

Alex and his team are top-notch-- both professionally and as individuals. Alex is knowledgeable, personable, has sound judgement, and is passionate about performing high-quality work. His team works effectively and strives to do whatever they can to help clients. I highly recommend using Enlightened Remodeling and cannot think of a better group to trust with your renovation needs!

We couldn’t be happier with our new master bathroom. It was a total gut job, involving lots of plumbing and electrical work too. The work itself was outstanding, and everything from planning to completion went smoothly. The entire crew worked extremely hard, and everyone was timely, professional, and wonderful to work with. We have many other house projects, and we’d love to work with Enlightened Remodeling again in the future. Highly recommend their services!

Enlightened renovated my entire house for me and did an amazing job!! They totally gutted and built back up a bathroom and a kitchen from scratch -- and did it quickly! The end result was fantastic, the prices were reasonable, and they communicated every step of the way. Really really great experience working with enlightened

Alex and his team are an anomaly when it comes to construction, let me explain - I have still to see a crew that has this level of attention to detail, quick to respond to your needs while meeting work deadlines drawn by them with precision much like the quality of their work. You are in worthy, enlightened hands with this crew.

Great job! Took over the project when another company backed out. It concerned leaky pipes in a 160 year old wood home. Fixed the pipes and their carpenters were super. Plumbers were fab too! Will recomend and use again.

Installed flooring in four rooms of our apartment. In five days we had beautiful floors put in by a knowledgeable team leader and careful, accurate, and super pleasant workers. They helped us move furniture so that we could stay in our apartment during the process. Great experience!

Enlightened Remodeling has served us well. Their work is always very professional, and their pricing is reasonable. We began using them in the fall of 2021 to fix interior damage of an apartment caused by a roof leak. We plan to continue using them for jobs under $10,000 at our various rental properties. --Rick Swartz at Bloomfield-Garfield Corporation

I have nothing but wonderful things to say! My husband and I had 2 bathrooms completely remodeled and we are so impressed with how it turned out. It’s not just the finished product that was impressive but the process. Alex took our vision of what we wanted and showed us a 3D CAD of what our bathrooms would look like with the information we gave him and WOW! Never even knew I liked the kind of design we went with but it’s stunning! Michael- the contractor who actually worked on the bathrooms was always on time each and every day and was so professional about everything. Even when things would sometimes go a little south, he never made it seem like a huge deal so that I wouldn’t stress out, and would fix the issue right alway. He truly does superb work and is the nicest guy ever! I’m so glad we chose to go with Alex and his team☺️

Alex and his crew were hired to renovate 2 bathrooms and throughout the process, I was thinking how thankful I was to have found his company. First, they finished on time, within budget and with high quality. Second, he was super easy to work with - his communication was timely and accurate and he is organized. Third, the surprises were managed well and I was given realistic options. There are always surprises and I had full faith that things were handled professionally and that our decision making was coordinated. I will be hiring him again to remodel a kitchen.

EKB just finished up remodeling my entire kitchen and bath and they were wonderful from start to finish.

I was moving into a new condo and hired Enlightened Remodeling to remove a wall to open up the kitchen, install flooring throughout the apartment, install a kitchen island, and hang cabinets. They also oversaw the carpet installation for me. I was very impressed with everybody and decided to use them to paint the entire apartment as well as do a bunch of other small things. They helped advise me on where to get kitchen countertops and many other things as well. Very friendly group of hard working and skilled young men.
