"Daniel came out and replaced the seal on the bottom of our garage door which mice had chewed through. Our door was 20+ years old so I expected the track that the seal went into to be outdated and it was, I couldn't even find it on Youtube, so a new track was required for the new seal to fit into. Parts and labor for this 8' metal track was only $50 in addition to the quote for the actual seal. I priced this out beforehand with competitors and I must say the pricing for everything with 1A was the lowest and very fair. I will definitely call 1A when needed again. Daniel...friendly, hard working guy with no upsell. Felt very comfortable with him. Could not have asked for a better man to help us out. Honestly. Thanks much! Rick"

"Working with Arno at Amsterdam Woodworks has been an amazing experience. Both my wife and are very creative, skilled in many aspects of construction and remodeling and consider ourselves to be obsessive perfectionists. Because of that, we take on many aspects of our projects ourselves but cabinet making is not something we would tackle. So when it was time to partner with someone that was equally obsessed with perfection, we were so lucky to have found Amsterdam Woodworks... and Arno has not disappointed. The craftsmanship and quality of the cabinetry is amazing. We had our choice of wood species and we ended up with a customized stain on alder that tied the cabinetry into our floors and other major furnishings. Arno provided multiple iterations of stain samples on large pieces of wood for us to review together with our furnishings, counters and lighting before we made a final selection. And now that we know what the stain recipe is, we can have it recreated if we need additional cabinets or do touch-up. Our project included a rather large and odd-shaped peninsula. This was a complicated piece with multiple non-standard angles leaving the potential for wasted space. Arno was able to make all areas accessible and functional. The installation has gone extremely well and Arno was always there when he needed to be. And the integration with other trades was smooth. Arno initially installed the cabinet boxes without drawers and doors to ensure that other trades wouldn't damage them in the process of them doing their work. I can't tell you how many times we've had plumbers, electricians, sheet-rockers and flooring trades damage cabinetry by being careless. This was simply brilliant! When our project started, we met with multiple cabinet makers. The scope included the entire kitchen plus custom cabinetry in our dining room. None of others were as attentive as Amsterdam Woodworks in making sure they understood what we wanted and making sure their proposals reflected it. Although Amsterdam Woodworks wasn't the lowest cost, they were by far the best value by a wide margin. We were not change-ordered to death on small tweaks and minor changes we made during the process. And the best part is we had Arno's full attention throughout. Beyond his amazing craftsmanship, Arno has been wonderful to work with. At no time have we ever felt it was an imposition to contact him whenever we needed to. He always has a positive outlook and truly enjoys his work ... and it shows."

"The garage door manufacturer required a $2500 deposit and was involved with the garage remodel starting June 2013 regarding measuring the openings while framing/stucco/drywall was in progress. We did request a vertical V grooved exterior appearance.
Manufacturing and Install:
The doors they manufactured and brought to the home were a manufactured paint-grade manufactured wood doors, looked VERY heavy & bulky (qualities we had never requested)  otherwise nothing special from the outside. The windows were single-pane.When they installed them I noted that the doors did not seal around all the edges equally, leaving gaps (1/2-3/4") along an area of the side/top of the doors, that will allow for small rodents or leaf blower projected debris to enter the garage readily. Elk Grove Overhead Doors made some adjustments, then blamed the situation on the stucco/framing and stated it is the best they could do, leaving me with uneven significant gaps around both doors.
Now after the initial rain exposure ( moisture only since they are protected by an eave)  it ALSO appears the exterior surface of the doors is starting to have blister-like but deep bubbles ( I would guess delaminations of the manufactured wood product) in several small areas, and the wood appears to be delaminating (flaking superficial layers at several of the V-grooves.
Openers and door function:
When they attached the openers my wife and I were alarmed how loud and 'clunky' the doors/openers were! Sounds like a castle draw-bridge being retracted with big chains. Since our garage doors are near our neighbor's master bedroom we had erroneously expected the new doors to be less noisy than the older doors we had. They installed chain drives ( instead of belt drives) which they stated they needed to use because of the heaviness of the doors. They stated most of the noise was the chain drive.Again, we never asked for  heavy doors. It appears as if  the doors are striking the middle rail when initially opening though they assured us it only looked that way. I was dismayed that these type of details were not worked out on paper before manufacturing and install since they were involved early in the garage remodel.
The wheels in the tracks intermittently squeal and sound as if they are not properly riding in the rails.
Corrective actions:
 
Initially after install and before full payment was made Elk Grove Overhead Door came back and "adjusted" the doors assuring us that they were fine and were not striking the railing and that they were not responsible for the door and wall leaving gaps.  Since they were been paid in full, they responded to my telephone call and promised to come out and take a look what they could do to make us satisfied with their product. They were a no-show for that appointment; since then I have made several telephone calls to John with our concerns and dissatisfaction with the doors and the noisy functioning; he has been apologetic and verbally responsive with promises that they would call me back the following day or week to set up a time to come out to make things right.  Several excuses later, (only after I called them and reminded them they had not called back to schedule repairs as they had promised) and 7 months after installation and payment we have new noisy doors that don't seal, sound like they are breaking/not functioning right and now the material they are made out of appears to be blistering and flaking. Wondering how soon I will need to replace the opener or door??
Nice polite people, but I would avoid Elk Grove Overhead Door at any price; my opinion is the new acquired headaches and expenses that come with the doors are not worth it.

"Jim was very responsive and provided all the information and options I needed. He began the work ASAP and kept me informed (I work out of the area) as the work progressed. We also agreed to replace the concrete with flagstone paths which overall improves the character and look of the home. Completing this foundation repair, while a significant expense, and the replacing the failing water lines takes a big load off my mind since the house is well built and is now in good shape for further weather events. I have a background in construction management and definitely consider Christian Construction reliable and fair, and the work quality excellent. I would definitely use this firm again."

"I called Crieg looking for someone to help get a rental in top shape so I could sell. He was responsive and very accomodating. He approached things methodically and had attention to detail, I had quite a laundry list of things to get done from as simple as chalking 2 skylights of which one leaked causing damage to the interior ceiling requireing the drywall replacement. Crieg was versatile and was able to handle anything I threw at him. I kept him busy for about 50 hrs and it was money well spent. One of the only people I could find on AL to work on a straight dollar per hr basis.

"Bjorn is great to work with. His wife responded to my call, set the appointment, and sent a confirmation email. Bjorn showed up on time and was very professional while at our home. He looked at the house, got all the information he needed and sent us a quote the same day. After looking at the other quotes, I chose MHR. They showed up when they said they would, the tear off crew foreman Marcos was awesome. The install crew foremen Albert and Jose were great. The team that installed the gutters was amazing. Everyone was super courteous and professional. They all took the time to ask if I had any questions, asked me to look over the work when it was completed, and went to great lengths to clean up afterwards. I would hire My House Renovation again without reservation."

"Excellent work. We purchased natural cherry cabinets in shaker style, with the panels made of solid wood rather than veneer. That is more difficult work, as each panel has to be constructed from several planks. Moreover, the clear finish would leave any flaws more visible. Simply put, the doors are beautiful--flawless in both construction and finish. They are similar in quality to custom cherry furniture we own."

"If you want a contractor that is fair and reliable, hire these guys. They will do the job right. They will also let you know if they can't do something too. I had a lot of tile to remove and install and they said the job was too big so I went to a tile only guy."

"Pasquale was very professional. He was easy to contact and showed up exactly when he was scheduled to. He answered all of my questions and also helped me get my second remote opener to work again as well as tighten the hardware on the outside of the garage door which wasn't installed properly. He did his work in a timely fashion so that I could get back to my busy day. When I eventually need a new door installed, he will be the one I call!"

"Jerry was very responsive. He contacted me within 24 hours of my contacting him. He found the time to conduct an estimate the same day that he contacted us. We enjoyed talking with him. He looked for ways to repair our front door instead of replacing the front door. This saved us $600 to $700. His price estimate was very close to the actual cost. The actual cost was less than he quoted. He did all of the tasks identified in the work plan, which he provided to me to review and approve the day before of service. All of the repairs look and operate great! The job sites were spotless. We were extremely pleased with the service and will definitely use Jerry for future projects.
