AMERICAN CONSTRUCTION SERVICES

This man stole thousands of dollars from us. We fired him 6 months in to what was supposed to be a 4-6 week job after only doing a fraction of the work...all done out of order with constant delays. The owner Mr Borman, is a dishonest and incompetent con who won’t return our money. He has devalued our property and brought great hardship.

Horrible they just covered it up instead of removing it and lied in Court about reasoning for not getting the job done appropriately and finished About the health inspectors findings

They did the work in stages and did a great job on all of this mold.

They were the most prompt of anyone and came out immediately. They were very professional and kind. I would definitely recommend them.

We are still finding places that need to be fixed. They did not do a thorough job. The new floor that they put in squeaks. The baseboards are not even. We got to a point that we wanted them to get out of our house. They said that they could do the job but, could not. There had been patches where they did not show up. They replaced all of the hardwood. They mis-measured the cabinets. The flood happened in August and did not finish until just before Christmas. It should not have taken that long. We found all of the materials. If it were to happen again, I would hire a floor guy for the floor, and a wall guy for the walls. It was covered under insurance. It was like watching a clown show but, it was not funny. The staff was nice, all in all I would not hire them to build a dog house. We are going to end up replacing the floors. I would not call them back to fix anything because, we were so disgusted with them. He said that he did not know how to finish off the stairs and the stain is bad. I do not want to see these people again. I thought that my husband was going to have a heart attack because, of the stress.

Went very well! <br /> Owner and his professional team did a Great Job! <br /> As background, my original subfloor of this bedroom was damaged by stains and pet odors over 29 yrs. of wear and tear. I am the original home owner. <br /> American Construction Services improved the overall flooring by installing a New Subfloor as well as the new flooring. <br /> <br /> Also, the Original carpeting in hallway outside of bedroom and down the steps to main living area was also in very bad shape, and I asked the company if the old carpeting could be pulled up and a new hallway subfloor be installed. American Construction Services agreed to add this new work, and had the entire job done within a 2-day period. <br /> <br /> I am very pleased about the prompt service and the additional work, which will definitely add to the value of my home! <br /> Many Thanks!

Their quality of work is outstanding and their prices are reasonable. I would recommend them to anyone looking for quality work.

They are absolutely marvelous people. They are great to work with. They have been doing a fantastic job! They work well and they have a lot of experts working with them. So far, I am extremely pleased with their work.

After several visits to cut away dry wall and determine the extent of the termite damage they began work on December 27. Work took approximately a week and a half. The crew was on time each day, polite and worked from the time they arrived in the morning (taking a short lunch break) until 4:30 or 5 each day. All crew members were hard workers and respectful of our home, being careful not to track dirt into our home. The quality of finished work is excellent. When they cleaned up my dinning room after finishing work I believe they left the carpet cleaner than when they started. They cleaned and removed all scraps and debris from my back yard leaving it as they found it. Pete Boreman (owner) was by almost every day to instruct crew and check on work. He was also readily available by phone. This was costly repair work but I certainly have no complaints regarding the quality of the work or the professionalism of the crew.

American Construction Services was very professional and they did a great job repairing the leak and replacing the insulation and drywall. The cost was very reasonable. Highly recommend American Construction Services!

After five years in our twenty-five year old home we were ready to make changes to make it more of what we wanted. What we most wanted was to be able to see our lovely backyard. We have no idea why, on such a lovely bit of land, the original builders had not put more windows, not to mention a screen porch, in the back.We started out going to an architect who was a disaster. He spent a lot of money creating plans that did nothing we had said we wanted. We fired him. So we decided to use a design/build company - which lead us to ACS. Luckily for us ACS works - on projects this size - with an excellent architect, Hank Maeser. We found him easy to work with. He was able to start with the measured drawings (the only thing of value from the original guy) and give us excellent plans which did exactly what we wanted and were exactly what got built. His working relationship with the ACS team was excellent and they clearly had done many projects together and had enormous trust in each other. Once the plans and permits were in-hand ACS got off to a good start with getting the old deck removed and the foundation dug and the footings poured. The rest of the foundation went in smoothly as well as did the building of the extension and the screen porch. But the winter weather arrived sooner than expected and that slowed the project down a bit. The interior work that did not involve the windows was completed but we had to wait for warmer weather to do the installation of the windows and the completion of the balcony. With the arrival of Spring they were able to get the windows in and the balcony finished and after that the completion of the rest of the interior work went well. The final inspection was a couple of weeks ago and passed - as had all the other inspections along the way. Living so long with so much construction was a bit of a strain but ACS was careful to always leave things as neat as possible and they made sure our privacy was respected. When they had to be in non-construction parts of the house they always removed shoes and/or put on shoe covers to keep the tracking of dirt to a minimum. They were dedicated to doing an excellent job with everything and they delivered that excellence. We love how our house has turned out and recommend ACS highly.

They did pretty well. They were quick to come out. Their estimates were good. They had a decent crew to get the work done quickly. There was a problem that arose from their work. So they came out on a Saturday and fixed it. I would use their services in the future too.

Mr. Borman came to give me an estimate. He explained that he had some heart problems which had recently put him in the hospital when I questioned him about some recent review I had read on this site. He openly discussed all facets of the work to be done, assured me that he stood behind his work and gave me an estimate. I had contacted about ten other companies and decided to have him do the work. I had a stringent timeline to adhere to and he was able to accomodate me. Before beginning work he even accepted my written understanding of the jobs to be done as part of the contract which put my mind at ease. I was very pleased with his work and his staff. Workers showed up on time every time and there was no delay unless I requested it. The workers were so pleasant and willing to go out of their way to make themselves as unobtrusive as possible. They kept things immaculate. The finished products are so good that it is hard to believe an entire wall of my living room was removed and replaced. Truely a great experience and I would recommend them to anyone. Mr. Borman inspected each day's work and was more exacting than I was. Several things were redone at his request when I would have left them as they were. They were careful with mold uncovered on the insulation next to the concrete which had been up for thirty years. He had a mold expert inspect the areas after they were opened and the repairs were underway. Barriers were hung to keep the areas walled off during this work. He was willing to do anything I asked to make me feel comfortable and satisfied as the work progressed. He is definitely my idea of "Holmes" and I would recommend him and his company to all.

We’ve used them twice and they have been excellent. The electrician did a good job and told me that it would take a minimum of one hour to finish the job. He asked what else he could do for me as he had 25 minutes left on the clock still. He is very efficient, always on time, and does neat work. I like the way they conduct themselves too. He had called before coming to know which color switch I wanted. He was very astute. The price was very fair too. I would definitely use them again.

ACS were extremely professional and performed excellent work. All work was done on time and on budget. All the proper county permits, drawings, and inspections were performed. Pete was always available by phone if I had any questions. The only drawback was that the price seemed quite high (although this might be due to the nature of the work performed). All in all, though, I am quite satisfied.

Found rotten wood inside the house when removing baseboards. Called Pete for an estimate, but we were prepared for the actual cost to change based on the exploratory nature of the problem. Upon further exploration, we found the damage was not localized. It was caused by incorrect flashing from the roof, allowing water to get behind the siding. The main areas affected were the corners of the house. We also found old termite damage along the band boards at the base of the house. Almost the entire front of the house had to be rebuilt. Pete was an invaluable resource in the whole process. We had never dealt with such extensive damage before. He provided excellent advice in dealing with the insurance company. He always seemed concerned with doing the job right instead of just getting it done.

Everyone we dealt with was courteous, professional, respectful, and pleasant. They started work the day we came home with a new baby and succeeded in keeping the construction dirt confined to the basement. They did everything they said they would do and it all looks fantastic. The time line was elongated by the waterproofing issue and the holidays but not egregiously so. Overall, we are exceptionally pleased with them and their quality of work. We will definitely be hiring them again to do some other projects - like an attic fan. I would recommend them wholeheartedly.

The experience throughout with Pena and Assoc was simply terrific. Jason Stock, the project manager, was prompt in responding to my initial phone call, and was always easy to communicate with by phone and e-mail. He was knowledgeable and helpful in coming up with the scope of work. Abner and his team came on the day and at the time arranged, and completed most of the work (except for the dining room window) within 4 days. The window boxes had to be built from scratch; the new ones are far better than the old ones, and the rather elaborate supports were replicated superbly. Replacement of the dining room window was done in one day, and the quality of the work on that is outstanding. And the garage is dry and sound for the first time in years. All the team members were delightful to work with, and I would hire them again in an instant.

For a job of this magnitude, the performance was wonderful. Communication was great, when unexpected problems were found, they were handled efficiently and professionally.

Jason Stock was very easy to talk to, understood exactly what the problem was and recommended various remedies. He kept in touch with us, was always available by cell phone and often visited the job site to see how things were progressing. The master carpenter (Abner, co-owner) and his helper were very responsible, hard workers. They were very considerate of our house, our space and our time. Jason recommended sensible upgrades, like the vinyl siding to make sure we didn't have this problem again, and came in at terrific pricing for each step. Jason worked with our schedule to keep the project on time, and still get us the sliding door we wanted at the discounted price he could offer. We can't recommend them highly enough. We may even be using them again in the future for our next project.
