A Master did a fantastic remodeling job for our new home. They installed a new kitchen with a new walk in pantry, replaced all flooring, new fireplace and minor upgrades throughout the home. We are very satisfied with Amir and his team. His crew is trustworthy, patient and extremely reliable. Amir cares for his clients and cooperated well with us even when our timings moved due to vendor delays. Amir can mobilize his crew in a very short notice and is respectful of your timing. We had to get a last minute push as many guests were coming over and per Amir's promise, they were able to work almost round the clock to get the job done. Want to mention a special thanks to Carlos and the rest of Amir's team. They were always on time, cleaned up well after their day and are very friendly and accommodating people. We were staying in the home during the last few weeks and not once felt uncomfortable with them being around. read more

Amir and his band of top-notch subs rebuilt our master bathroom area and we couldn't be more pleased. We needed to remove reach-in closets, remove walls, add walls, change plumbing, add a Air & Jetted Jacuzzi tub, add a sky light, remove 2 windows and add & patch up a new window, add new vanity, mirror cabinets, linen closet, Install new Toilet, and a walk in shower. Since we had a clear picture on what we need , also we provided the drawings for the bathroom area and the placements ,it was easy to explain Amir what we were looking for. Since our designs and Choice of materials were really blended in right and the bathroom looked absolutely fantastic. All the workers always kept our house spotless throughout the job. They were respectful, courteous. Every thing that they do has to come from Amir, and Amir was always easy to reach. Text or call he was always easy to reach and responded pretty much instantaneously. I really appreciate the Crew to have finished the work even before a week mentioned in the contract, which was really giving us lot of time to set up our master bedroom again. He takes great and justifiable pride in his work and it shows. Unlike many other contractors we've dealt with, Amir puts meticulous detail into specifying his proposal upfront so you know exactly what you're paying for. Take the time to be clear on that proposal for what you want or you'll find yourself adding new costs because you expected one thing while the proposal clearly stated another. This thankfully didn't happen much for us, but we did have few small changes here and there and Amir was flexible enough to accommodate them with ease. We highly recommend Amir and intend to have him work on our next renovation as well. The outcome of bathroom was wonderful read more

We recently remodeled our home, for us it was a major remodel, we added around 400+ sqft, remodeled 75% of our home including kitchen. A Master Construction handled our project and we are very pleased with the end result. Amir who managed our project is very capable person. We found him to be dedicated, flexible and great to work with. His crew of dedicated teams are also skilled and experienced. We are very pleased with quality of the work and happy that they finished our project in time before new year! They also cleared out all the materials post completion and sent a professional cleaning crew to prepare our home before move in -- overall we are very pleased. Few tips based on our experience: 1) Keep your plans as detailed as possible, Amir executes all his projects at a frenzy pace (our neighbor has similar experience with him) and missing information or changes are likely to impact schedule and/or cost. 2) Expect changes proportional to size of your project, it could be code related, found during construction/remodel or something you want (few details change - like for us), so plan your budget accordingly. 3) Ensure you order all the materials on time, if you delay getting something which takes time to ship it could impact your project. In our case home depot with our custom order and caused delay of 3+ weeks, which has some impact on our our schedule. That said, we found that Amir manages timeline and reduces impact on overall timeline very well. He is skilled at this. Overall they have a great team, esp. Amir who rocks! We'd gladly recommend A Master Construction to all our friends! read more

We were extremely happy with Amir and his crew for our completing our Kitchen and Bathroom remodel on time (in fact, they finished a week earlier) and on budget. We interviewed several contractors before finding A Master through Yelp. Asal quickly made an appointment and Amir came over to assess our project. We wanted to completely demolish and remodel a 70-year old kitchen and bathroom and had a pretty good idea of what we wanted to change. In addition, we were removing a major wall, upgrading our electrical, and refinishing all the floors. We were also on a tight 2-month deadline. Amir listened to what we wanted and sent us an estimate within a few days. Amir's crew started on the same date as was mentioned in the contract, and were on-site every day, including Saturdays. They were so quick that we had to be on our toes to make sure the material they needed were shipped and ready for them at various stages. They were also very accommodating and patient with our slightly tricky Ikea kitchen and appliances, custom painted Ikea kitchen cabinet doors, and our various tile vendors. Occasionally we would spot something that wasn't done to our liking, or based on what we had talked about (e.g. one shower niche instead of two) but Amir and his crew were always willing to redo it without any complaints. What I really liked about this experience was: * They started and finished on-time. * Amir was always responsive. He always called back or texted on the same day we tried to reach him. * A Master took care of all the permits and city inspections * Amir was transparent about anything that required additional charges What to keep in mind: * As stated in the contract, you are supposed to provide all the finishing materials, including things like grout that is easy to forget about or overlook. Make sure you ask Amir early on to let you know exactly what you need to buy, so you don't have to buy them in a hurry when the crew needs something you forgot to get. * It's always a good idea to regularly check the progress of the project by visiting the site. While Amir communicates with the crew on a daily basis, he's not always there himself, and occasionally small things may get lost in communication. Checking the work yourself regularly ensures that you can catch it if it happens. Overall, I can't be happy enough with our decision to go with A Master. Renovating is always stressful. So it's great to know you're working with a team that is reliable and is going to finish on-time. We're already planning to work with Amir on another project for our house soon, and I can't recommend him highly enough. read more

A master construction had done our home addition of 490 Sq (a bathroom and wet bar) and some change of orders (worth 20k). We had quotes from a few construction companies, including contractors referred by our friends. None of them were convincing me enough to do the project (The quotes were either too high or too low with many unknown areas). Although it took me a while to meet Amir, he was reasonable and flexible enough to work with me. The whole project took three months. It could have done earlier but a city inspector's schedule was backed up due to the busy time of the year. Each step of the work process was done without any major hassle. Most of the crew members were courteous and their working skill was professional. I checked the process of the work every day. If I find some issues to make correction or have questions, I communicated with Amir through texting which was the fastest way to get his response. We had a slope issue from concrete work done by Amir's subcontractor. After we discussed with Amir and his subcontractor, they redid the some area of walkway with the better slope that prevents water from entering the breezeway of my house. Although Amir and I had some disagreement on some issues during and after the work, I appreciate he tried to work it out with me in the end. After two months of the bathroom remodeling work done, I called him because I couldn't open the drainer cover in the shower room. When I called him, he responded me right away and fixed the problem. Overall, I had a good experience with a master construction and satisfied with the quality of the workmanship. I will not think twice to call him for the next project. read more

History: ---------- We bought a house in Saratoga this July and it is a nicely upgraded home throughout except for the kitchen. It was a galley kitchen with an entrance right off the front door. There was a sunken dining room with a fireplace next to the kitchen separated by a wall. Within two months of moving in we wanted to convert the whole thing into a modern open kitchen, take out the load bearing wall, raise the floor of the dining, raise the roof to give that high end look. We worked with a designer, got permits and started contractor interview process. Interview Process: ------------------------- We went through multiple quotes and interviewed multiple contractors as per the norm. This included big contractors from the neighborhood, referrals from friends and from Yelp as well. Amir, who we got from Yelp was the most impressive of them all. Amir is very sharp, a good engineering brain. He effortlessly understood all of our requirements and knew the exact engineering work that needed to be done. Speaking to him was very reassuring that here is one guy who easily understands our needs. That was just the icing though. The quote he came up with was 40% less than the next highest quote (we got 6 of them!). We are just skeptical and had many doubts as to how he could be so low compared to others! Could his quality be bad? Or is he just quoting low to get into the project and will squeeze more etc.. all the usual doubts when you see a quote like that. We did our research on yelp, actually talked to one of the guys who got work done through him and had all our doubts removed. There was no way for us not to proceed with Amir! He understood our needs, he has good referrals and he has the best price! Work Progress: --------------------- Once we awarded the contract to him, he actually agreed to move the schedule ahead by a week and started the work on agreed schedule. It was very professional work right at the outset. There were a lot of guys on the first day. They moved our kitchen to the back of the house, carefully moved all the furniture into the garage, cordoned off the rest of the house with plastic material. Everything was so methodical! After the first few days, we figured how he manages his costs to keep low. He is one of the best program managers that we have seen. Both my Wife and work and I work in the IT industry and we can recognize one when we see them. His resource allocation and rotation is precise. The plumbers, framers, electricians, the concrete guys, support staff, everyone is so tightly scheduled that there is literally not an hour wasted! We had prior experiences with other contractors where people would just run off to home depot for some purchase and won't come back for a couple of hours. Amir has dedicated guy for purchases who makes sure that the workers have everything they need on time. My wife wanted specific accessories for door knobs, lights etc.. and everything was purchased on time. I did not have to go to the store even once during the entire project. Amir also has arrangements so that the trash and the debris gets cleaned up within a day. In spite of so much construction that went on, our front and back yards looked clean for the most part. Change Orders: ---------------------- One of my friends did warn that since he is giving a low quote, "he is going to squeeze you" on the change orders. As with any project, there were multiple of them during our re-model. Each of them was handled very professionally. He gave us an estimate of additional costs due to the change order which we found quite reasonable and after a sign off from us, proceeded to make those changes smoothly. His mission is to make his customers happy and it was accomplished in our case. Finishing Touches: ------------------------- There were slight delays from the original schedule. But, it was not all because of Amir, but our cabinet vendor not being ready in the time we anticipated them to. Amir did not complain even once. He just re-adjusted his resources, slowed down his pace a notch so that he can keep pace with the cabinet maker and at the end even the delays didn't seem that much due to excellent scheduling by Amir. When the whole project was done last week, he sent his cleaning crew to do a deep cleaning of all the parts of the house that he touched at no extra cost to us! This was indeed a huge plus to have a clean house after the remodel. Things you need to be cautious about: ----------------------------------------------------- Due to the real tight and efficient scheduling that he has when plans changed from our side a bit, he did get irritated and confrontational. This is something that he needs to immediately improve on. It did not bother us much as he would realize that he has been confrontational and come back within a couple of hours again trying to accomodate and please us. I'd recommend him to do any of your projects without hesitation! He is "A++ Master"! read more

I'm not really sure whether it's because we had a small project comparatively, but we had a fairly poor experience overall. I gave them an extra star only because they did a decent job and I'm feeling generous, but the big issue I had was with their communication. We had them replace our tile countertops and backsplash, as well as install a new kitchen faucet. We hadn't ever done a renovation like this, and were hoping for more of a guided process. Here's how it went down instead. First, Amir came and spent about 10-15 minutes looking at the kitchen. He didn't take any measurements, nor did he bring any material. He told us we should get prefabricated material (at the time I didn't really know what that meant). He said he'd send us a contract with labor only, and we'd supply materials. After we sign their contract, he'd tell us where to go to get the material. I asked for a ballpark number for how much the material (granite counters and tile backsplash) would cost so I could compare to another contractor who had included materials in their quote. I had to practically beg for the recommended place to get the materials, even after his secretary kept trying to schedule the job. I had to explain that I still had no material because they still hadn't told me where to get it. When they finally sent me the name of the place, we checked it out and it was a super ghetto place (Unimarble) with terrible prefabricated slabs and no customer service. We opted to instead go to Bedrosians, who actually helped us and explained prefab vs. custom fabrication, etc. It was a big ordeal to get the go-ahead with a new contract with a custom fabricated slab from Bedrosians, but we finally got it and waited for them to arrive for their first day. And they didn't show. So I called them to see when they were coming since I had stayed home from work waiting for them. They told me they had a change of plan and would come the next day instead. They made very quick work of removing the old counter, adding a chip to my (apparently super expensive to replace) enamel-coated apron-style sink in the process. They got everything measured for the custom fabrication, and then left. My wife waited for them the next day, and again, no show. We emailed them to ask when they might be thinking about returning, and they said they'd be back in a few days with the counter. Which in hindsight makes sense, because they needed time to fabricate the material, but how was I supposed to know what their next step was? Oh, yeah, because normally the contractor would tell you, that's how. They did a nice job of fabricating the material, installed it well, then put on the backsplash. Then they informed me that we would need to buy the grout. Now, I know that there are a lot of different colors for grout and all, but really? They couldn't just ask me which color and go pick it up? It was all of like $20, and felt really nickel-and-diming to me that they didn't just go get it themselves. And it was pretty awesome that they waited until then to inform me that I'd need to go get that. By the way, I have a nearly full bag of off-white grout that I'll sell ya for like $15. :) After they grouted, the next crew came in, took one look at the grouted backsplash, and asked whether we had sealed it. I explained to him that I, in fact, had not done anything to the backsplash, because as it was I was paying THEM to do whatever they needed to do to it to get the job done. I had no idea backsplash even needed to be sealed. I'm pretty sure he was about to tell me I was going to have to pick up the sealer until I gave him a piece of my mind. They finished up the job, minus repairing the chip they added to my sink. We also noticed that when we left a cup on the counter for even a few seconds it would leave a wet stain on the granite. Not permanent, of course, but odd. So we called Bedrosians to ask about that, and they recommended the counters be sealed after installation (here we go, more sealing). I asked Amir if the installers had sealed it, and was assured that of course they did. I decided that it was more likely that Amir was straight up lying to me, so I went a few days later and bought a bottle of granite sealer and spent the 15 minutes sealing the counters a couple different times. Now they're all better. A few days after all that, they sent me a bill for, yep, you guessed it, the chip repair kit they purchased for my sink that they actually never finished repairing. I told them to not to hold their breath waiting for that payment. Summary: I actually think they are capable of doing a good job, but they need to work a LOT on communication. If you're the kind of person who does a lot of renovation projects and know the process, you might do ok with them. Perhaps if you have a big job they may pay better attention to you, but they certainly didn't for us. Which is a shame, because I have a number of quite large jobs still to do, and I won't be using them. read more

I'm really disappointed with this company. I know that it is the busy season right now, but not returning a phone call to a potential customer is bad business. At least let people know that you are busy!! Personally, I'd rather know that a company is completely booked (which makes me think they might be worth the wait) than be forced to assume that they just don't care about customers. I can't say how good their work is, because I can't even get them on the phone. I have left messages over the course of the week and even sent an email ("for faster service" per the suggestion on their answering machine) asking if they can even do the specific type of work I am looking for, and I have yet to receive any type of response from them with a yes or no answer. read more

I called A Master Construction to get an estimate for a house expansion, a simple addition of a room and bathroom. However, the girl answering the phone said they would not do any estimates without detailed architectural drawings. I said, "Huh???" So I need to spend thousands of dollars on drawings just to find out the project is outside my budget? I can't find out if the project is $50,000 or $150,000? I told her it was a basic expansion and I already created drawings on my home computer, but she said only architectural drawings would warrant them spending any time. So I called the architect she recommended. He told me it would be $4,000. So basically, the only people who can do this is someone with an unlimited budget who commits to spend $4,000 just to find out how much the project will cost? I never ran into this before. So moving on to other contractors who can provide estimates before you start spending money! I don't know how the other good reviewers did it, they didn't seem to have this problem, or at least didn't complain. read more

I am not reviewing A Master Construction's work here, since I never go to experience it. Rather, I am reviewing their customer service on initial contact. Having read the great reviews on Yelp, and with a large, whole-house remodel planned, I called A Master Construction to arrange a meeting to discuss our plans. I spoke with Asal, who told me in a rather abrupt way to send an email outlining the scope of work and that they would get back to me to make an appointment once they'd received it. I dutifully wrote the requested email as soon as I got off the phone with her, and sent it immediately. It is now two weeks later, and I have yet to get a response from A Master Construction. I know that contractors are busy these days, but even so I would expect a reply of some kind. If they're too swamped to bid new jobs, fine--just tell me that. I know it's not that our job is too small to bother with (but even in that case, some kind of polite decline would be in order). Anything less shows a lack of professionalism. read more

Amir did a great job when remodeling our house. He updated all 4 of our bathrooms and kitchen. He also painted the exterior and interior of our house. His crew are extremely professional and did not cut any corners. Amir kept me informed throughout the whole remodeling process and will recommend the best material to use to fit your budget. The end results were amazing. Our bathrooms and kitchen looked like those in Architectural Digest. His rates are extremely competitive too! Amir also stands by his work too. When we thought we had an issue with the dripping faucet in our bathroom, he came by the next day and took care of it. That's customer service! So whenever I need any work done on my house or any home improvement project, Amir and A Master Construction are ones to call! Highly Recommended! read more

We decided it was finally time to remodel out master bath so that we'll have two working bathrooms in our home. The scope of the work included demolition of existing bathroom, removal and moving of a wall, re-piping, moving the water line, electrical, tiling of new shower, installation and completion of finish work, i.e. painting, re-texturing, installing fixtures, base molding, door casings, closet doors, etc. I wish it was as simple as just re-tiling the bathroom but this turned out to be a bigger project. Due to past experiences with contractors (mostly not good....some very bad), we were very wary and cautious of who we would select for this project. With that said, we interviewed and spoke to many different contractors for quotes and customer referrals. Amir and his team stood out, he was prompt, answered questions and knew what he was talking about and even offered suggestions - so we decided to move forward. After finalizing the quote, we were provided with a timeline of 3 weeks to completion to set expectations. In the end, Amir and his team completed our master bath (sans installation of the frameless shower) in just under 3 weeks. This was impressive as no other contractor we've worked with has been able to meet to exceed original timeline projections. We are not only impressed with the quality of work but also the professionalism as well. We've found this hard to come by, so it was much appreciated. Here's the breakdown: //Initial consultation/interview - on-time, attentive, offers professional advice //Quote - per my husband, painless process, offers quote in a matter of 48 hours //Quality of work - very impressed, agree with other reviewer that there doesn't appear to be any shortcuts taken. A couple examples 1) we do not see any chips on any of the tiling. 2) whenever we had a nit about something, they happily fixed it 3) the detail in painting, caulking and finish work is very, very clean. Speaking of clean...they didn't trash our home or backyard, front yard. Each day they would work then clean-up everything and vacuum before they left. //Promptness - each day, a team of people came to work on a different part of the project. They would let us know when they were coming and were on-time and would often stay later to work. When they stayed later or came earlier, they would make sure we were ok with it first. //Timing of project - completed before initial projection date, this is a rarity among contractors in our experience. //Overall - We had a great experience using Amir and his team as our contractors. If we had an issue that couldn't be addressed on-site, Amir would always take care of it - and promptly too. His team is professional, respectful and very easy to work with. We now have a beautiful new master bathroom and it took less than 3 weeks. Should we need to have some work done in the near future, you bet we'll be reaching out to these guys! TIP: After speaking to the workers daily, we found out that they are indeed very busy working on multiple projects. If you decide to go with Amir and his team, try to secure them with a contract to begin work as soon as you can if you don't want to wait a while to get the ball rolling on your next remodel. read more

This review is solely for their front office staff. Here is my story - We are in the market for a general contractor. The work scope being finishing our garage to some major work on our exterior of the house. In my opinion, this is a mid-five figures (~$50K) job. The office staff asked me to explain the work scope and I started my explanations with what needs to be done inside the garage. Even before I stated my big ticket work (fixing the exterior of the home, painting, add a bay window, may be some changes to our porch and paving our driveway), she cut me off and said that they are too busy to handle such work. I understand that good contractors are booked in advance these days but all that I ask for is to have some patience until I finish talking. Their website says that and I quote - "No job is too big or too small". Apparently our job is way too small for them. read more

We had a fantastic experience with Amir and his team. They were extremely responsive and delivered exactly what they promised. We had 2.5 bathrooms redone as well as painting and refinishing our hardwood floors. One of the best things Amir did was make recommendations on things he felt like we should do...and they were all great. Amir and his team set a very clear timeline and expectations and was right on target. Finally, Amir also recommended places for us to find supplies like Tile (need to review Bedrosians!) that were fantastic and allowed us to find high quality materials to use in the house. I highly recommend A Master Construction and will probably use them again soon for additional projects!! Thanks Amir! read more

We used their services to insulate the roof of our garage. They started the project on the 22nd of January and finished on the 27th ( they don't work on weekends). I went with A master construction because they gave a competitive quote. I am very happy that I chose the company; the project manager was professional and always on time as were their subcontractors, the office manager was also very good with customer follow up post contract. My husband and I are pleased with the workmanship. I gave a four star, however, because of the cleanup ; the company used different subcontractors who did not do a great cleaning up after themselves before the next group. So my husband and I had a lot more cleaning of little debris ( some nails) than we would have liked. I informed the company of this and they were quite apologetic. I will use their services again because of their professional conduct and work, however. read more

Our experience with Amir and Reza was nothing less than excellent. With a kid in the house, we wanted a contractor who would finish the work ON time, and in budget, and they DID. Here are the positives: - Always on time. ALWAYS - Always finish work on time - Always keeps customer first - I added many change orders, still the whole project was finished on time - Always in budget (though not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for) - Awesome tile work - Very trust worthy crew. Nothing left my house without my permission. - Very very courteous workers - These folks were the best of all - Demo guys Eduardo and other short guy - Abhrahim - Tile guy - Ali - Electrical guy - Carlos - General work guy - Both paint guys - Always clean up after everyday's work. The best part is that everything is scheduled perfectly to happen one after the other, without wasting any time. So there definitely is pressure on you as a customer to get all the material on time. The only complaint I have is with his HVAC guy, as things were not very smooth with him(compared to how things go with Amir). All in all, a very good team to work with if you are looking for good quality work, on time, in the estimated budget. If I have to hire a contractor for any work in future, I will definitely give it to Amir again. read more

Amir and his crew are great. They were able to finish my kitchen renovation in time and on budget. I will be rating each aspect of the project. Project Management Mostly Amir was the one who handled all the projects. We interview a few of the candidates. Only A Master and one other company were not afraid do deal with pulling the permit and assure me the permit would be granted because the previous own did some change without permit. The pricing from A Master was competitive. Through out the construction there were some unforeseen issues. Amir was able to resolve it and nice enough to keep the cost in budget as long as it was not major issue and in the scope of the contract. We had different expectations on the scope of contract though out the construction, Amir was open to the discussion and resolve it diplomatically. In general, they crew were polite and friendly. However, not all of them speak English fluently so majority of the conversation were passed by crew leader of each team. Cabinet installation and general construction were mainly handled by Carlos' team. Carlos team could be slow in progress especially in cabinet installation, but it was worth the time. The team was very precise. Hence, great quality work. Tile and backsplash was handled by Eli team. This team is very efficient and the workmanship is just excellent, not to mention the friendliness. Eli would talk to me if he had question or suggestion before the job began to set expectation and address potential issue. Electric wiring was handled by Moza. We had issue on installing under cabinet light. I was asked to change the light because the electrician wouldn't recommend it. Perhaps the root cause was due to the communication, the light I brought was low voltage LED strip. But the wiring was pre-installed with hot wiring. By the time the electrician noticed it, it was too late. Amir was nice enough to work with us and resolved it without additional charge which the electrician demanded. Counter top team was the most quiet one, I didn't even manage to get the crew leader name. They came for a few hours, asked questions and left. They came back next day with counter top and install it with sink. Done. That didn't mean the work was bad, though. Painting was handled by Juan's team. The workmanship was great. Juan's team was fun. One of my wall was painted with chock paint. Juan took time to paint it with extra coat. One crew member didn't know it was chock paint. When he notice he couldn't get rid of the white powder from dry wall, he painted another coat again. Some advises. You need to know exactly what exactly you want when establishing the contract. You need to keep checking from time to time to assure that the work progress and final product of each step is what you expect. Communicate with crew leader or Amir early, don't wait until the work is done. read more

I found A Master based on the outstanding Yelp reviews. I was really impressed with the consistent message that communication was prompt and helpful but mostly that the end result was extremely professional - I wanted to have a great looking kitchen even if it wasn't from the low bidder. All the comments about communication were absolutely true and from the start Asal in the office and Amir on the street were always available to return calls, answer questions or calm my nerves. This company is really top notch. You get the results of a large company but the service level and flexibility of a smaller business. With the exception of a few scheduling problems that are 100% on me, the job is complete and it's incredibly beautiful. It changed the look of my entire house and I love every square inch of it. Amir was wonderful when I asked for changes and has been more than reasonable in rescheduling due to my materials issues. All the workers were prompt, cleaned up every single day and were great to work with. Amir was really good at helping me with ideas when we first spoke about getting a bid. Since I wasn't moving any walls or making structural changes, there were no drawings except for a cabinet lay out which I provided. The work started on schedule and the guys stayed on the job until the work was done. I highly recommend this company to anybody looking for a beautiful renovation - it's also VERY nice that their pricing is reasonable. I plan to have Amir back when I'm ready to make some changes to my bathrooms. Don't hesitate to call them - it's definitely worth your time. read more

Having had to deal with several non-responsive contractors, Amir and the A Master crew were a breath of fresh air. We were looking for a contractor who would do a complete remodel of our apartment's kitchen (floor to ceiling), paint the living room, and remodel our bar. Amir offered us a good estimate for labor/base materials, and worked with the cabinets and counter top materials we picked out. A Master is also certified to work with Dekton surfaces, which was important to us since we needed a white countertop that was stain and heat resistant. Amir did a great job with the planning, and project management and finished within the time frame he originally quoted us. Most of all we were very happy with his responsiveness to our questions. I generally got an answer back quickly whenever I texted with a question. We would use A Master again for our remodeling and would recommend him to others. read more

A Master Development - Kitchen remodel - Handyman Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

PROS: 1. Starts on time. Finishes on time. As promised. This is HUGE plus! Probably the only thing home owners worry the most about! I have heard of horror stories but never experienced one (thankfully!). 2. Workers worked real hard and there were no shortcuts taken. 3. He is in this business for customer satisfaction. 4. His was the lowest of the three quotes we got. CONS: There are no real cons but I want to highlight some points just so it will clear any confusion (at least for people like me who were totally new to remodeling). He brings labor. Period. Don't expect anything more. You are expected to measure, plan, design and buy everything ahead of time. If yours is a busy family with no time to stay around and monitor everyday, tough luck! Work gets done irrespective. Decisions are made on your behalf to keep things moving. And that is the way it should be! So if you are picky about small things, stick around during the process and provide instructions. I learnt my lesson. I would hire Amir again for future projects. read more

We did a kitchen remodel including tearing down a load-bearing wall and bringing all the electrical up to norm. They were able to start the project at an earlier date than expected and the work was done in less than 30 days even though they had allocated 45 days. Amir has great vision on how to organize the project and he keeps everybody on a tight and well organized schedule to keep the work moving along. There was very little downtime between major tasks which we appreciated as we were living in the house during the construction. We were very impressed by the quality of the people that work for him or that he subcontracts to. They were all very professional, did excellent work, paid great attention to quality and any details and never left before completing the task for the day. We also appreciated that they always told us what they were going to do and asked for our input before doing anything to avoid surprises. The construction site was always left as clean as possible at the end of the day. This is the first time that we do any renovation and had heard many horror stories. Fortunately, we found the right company to do the work painlessly and as the photos show the results speak for themselves. read more

A Master Development - After kitchen remodel - Handyman Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

We went to "A Master Development And Design Inc" for remodeling and renovation of a house that we bought and was not in a good shape. From the very beginning, they were very professional, to the point and straight forward with us. They helped us understand the options and choose the right materials and designs. Their staff was always punctual and component. The whole project finished on-time and with-in budget. There were no surprises or additional costs (which when dealing with some other contractors you have to deal with). Over-all " A Master Development And Design Inc" did a great job for us and I would go back to them for any future projects. Definitely recommended. read more

After being dropped by another contractor shortly after the job began, Amir and A Master Construction came in to take over the project of renovating our kitchen and building a small master bath. As indicated in other reviews, the time management was fantastic (the project was completed a week early), the team of workers were knowledgable and very friendly (Miguel was especially exceptional), and everything turned out exactly as we'd hoped. Tips: Considering how swiftly these guys move, make sure your resources are ready (tiling choices, paint colors etc), because otherwise you might end up scrambling a bit to be ready for each phase of the project. Also, encourage the painter to adequately prep the surrounding areas, as he didn't always, and dripped a bit. He did fix it upon request however. We will be using A Master Construction again when we're ready for our next project. read more

We were really Happy to work with A Master Construction's fully-licensed team on our remodel project. We did our kitchen, took out some ancient popcorn ceilings ( which contain asbestos and need to be handled well) remodeled a small bathroom, added hardwood floors, raised floors (our house had an old plan where there were sunken areas in our room plan) , added skylights, recessed lighting, and did a bunch more. Amir's team finished the project ahead of schedule even after we added a few extras. They were really flexible about us changing our mind about some things after the project was underway. We had handmade Mexican tile installed for a backsplash and a countertop and for our floor and they did a great job working with that tile which is so much harder to work with than regular factory-made tile. We got really good prices on many of our materials through A Master Construction's recommendations and we hope to work with them again when we redo our stairway and upstairs of our home read more

Wrote them about a job that already had permits in hand, and they wrote back saying they were very interested. They proposed a time to see the space and do a walk-through to discuss the project. And..... never showed up. And.... never called. I called them and left a message to no avail, I waited an hour for them just in case, then realized they are just flaky contractors. read more

Having been in our 70s home for over a year, we decided to take the plunge and start remodeling our home. The kitchen and the bathrooms needed immediate attention. We called a couple of contractors - mostly based on Yelp reviews. Amir was the 5th one on the list to call. The office was prompt in returning the call and setting up a time for him to come and see what needed to be done. One thing about Amir, hands down - the most pleasant guy to talk to. He patiently heard out all the changes we wanted done. The quote came as promised within 2 days. It was definitely more reasonable than couple of the others I'd gotten. We spoke to some of the references and everyone had only good to say about the work done in their homes by him. We signed the contract and he started the work on the date we had decided. Throughout the entire project, all the workers were here on the dot at 8am or earlier. Very pleasant and helpful guys. Such hard workers too. Very thorough in their job and they always went the extra mile to make sure it was done to our satisfaction. Long story short, the kitchen and bath remodel project ended up spanning to a whole home project. We had the entire plumbing redone, floors done(carpets removed and hardwood installed), entire interior painting, recess lighting put in throughout the house and a couple of exterior jobs too. Amir worked his magic and the project started on Feb 17th and they were done on April 4th. He was extremely considerate of our time crunch situation with family coming to visit and made sure everything was done to perfection and our satisfaction. Amir was always on dot to answer all our umpteen questions and hear our suggestions if we wanted to tweak what was being done. He has definitely raised the bar on the level of expectation we have from contractors. Also, he has set an example of how a remodel need not be a 'horror' situation, instead a pleasant experience. Thanks to him, he helped create the dream home we had in mind. read more

After checking out more than half a dozen contractors, we decided to go with "A Master Construction" for remodeling our Kitchen and bathroom in Saratoga. Thanks to Amir who made the job seem so seamless in terms of organizing, scheduling, and executing the many tasks to perfection. The Kitchen and bathroom have become the highlights of our house now. Every person who sees our kitchen asks " who did the remodeling? Looks so good". Amir helped us immensely by being with us during cabinet, Granite, and tile selections. He was always available when we needed to talk to him, and was open to making changes as we went along. Never showed impatience or displeasure when we made some changes as an after thought ! The people who work for Amir did a wonderful job and cleaned the work place after every long day's work. They were ALWAYS punctual. Thanks to them that we completed the project in less time than originally anticipated. I would recommend Amir, without a second thought, to anyone looking for quality construction at an affordable price. read more

This is to update my experience. We have had a new project for kitchen and master bedroom for building code. (previous owner remodeled them without permit) - added a beam for kitchen, redoing the ceiling - cut down the master bedroom size about 1 feet and reconstruct the outside wall During this project, there are so many incidents happened. - Kitchen cabinet crown molding was thrown away as garbage unbelievably, they redo the crown molding. However they don't do the finishing, it is still unfinished. - They lost our garage remote (new one was provided later) - Ladder was taken from our garage. I complained, it came back one month later with the worker's name put on the ladder. - After outside wall stucco done, a lot of debris are left all over the backyard. I complained, they just came back for an hour to pick up only some part of debris. I gave up complaining afterwards. The worker says after some rain all the debris will be gone, but not true. We still have a lot of debris that take one year full amount of household garbage bin. From the previous project(dining room wall redone): - one power outlet was disconnected. we did not notice sooner, so it cannot be recovered - master bedroom's ceiling painting color is not matched with original color. they say this is because I did not ask to match the color with the original color. I thought it is commonsense... I'm disappointed by people under Amir, I like Amir himself, he is sincere and Asal is good at bookkeeping. I'll look for other company for next project. read more

Wish I could do 4.5 because, if you take out the couple small speed bumps, they would have been a 5. We recently relocated to the area and purchased a house in South San Jose. The day we closed was also the day we had to go back to where we moved from for an extended trip, so was a perfect time to have home improvements done (empty house) but was a VERY short timeline to find a contractor and also put us in a position to not be there to keep tabs on the progress. We found A Master (actually selected from their Yelp reviews) and they were able to fit us into their schedule on the short notice! The work was fairly straightforward; scrape popcorn ceiling, re-texture, paint, remove some old kitchen lighting, install recessed lighting in kitchen and living room with a dimmer switch. They gave us a quick bid over the phone without seeing the house, which was nice during the selection process compared to some other contractors, and they came in person one final time before our travel to confirm the work and the bid which was very reasonable compared to some of the other bids we received. After we left, they started the work on schedule and they were willing to customize their typical payment arrangement based on our situation which was nice. The work finished 4 days ahead of schedule which was also great! When we returned, while overall the ceiling and lighting work was top notch, we found there were a few details that were off (minor speed bump #1); the dimmer on the living room lighting wasn't installed and they had removed and sealed over a ceiling fan that was in the living room which wasn't outlined in the bid. (minor speed bump #2); When my wife called to inform them and ask that they come back out to correct the issues the project manager was, rather than apologetic, a bit argumentative claiming that we had specifically requested it get removed in the work agreement even though it wasn't specified in the work order. In the end though they agreed to come back out and correct these two things; installed the dimmer switch and re-cut the hole for the living room fan and reinstalled. So long story short; they do high quality work for a great price, they're able to accommodate unique customer schedules, their receptionist is nice and good with customers but their project manager could benefit from polishing his customer interaction skills. I don't even mind the small misses as much as the reluctance to agree on the error. In the end they made the job right and we're very happy with the work and I would recommend them to others and use them again in the future, so remember this is a 4.5 rating : ) Thanks A Master read more

A Master Construction just completed a 450 square foot addition to our home. Amir did an excellent job of keeping us in the loop every step of the way. You can tell that A Master Construction is committed to making sure things get done in a quality fashion. I have already recommended Amir and his team to a number of neighbors and plan to work with him again in the future. read more

After reaching out to a few other Contractors for bids for the multi-phase remodel and addition project we had for our Milpitas home, we came across A Master Construction. They were highly rated on Yelp, and very well deserved. They were very competitive and fair in their pricing. We are extremely thrilled with the interaction, and most importantly, the work performed. This is a family business, and totally felt like we were extended family because of how well our home and project was taken care of. Asal will likely field your phone call into their office. She's such a nice soul, very friendly, and polite. The same can be said for Amir (the General Contractor and PM). Amir is so good at managing all his tradesmen and the schedule, having one come in behind the other leaving, preventing delays. In total, we remodeled 3/4s of our almost 1300sqft house and added about a 400sqft family room. Amir and his crew were able to have all the work completed start to finish, including inspections in 4 and a half months. A Master couldn't take care of our Architectural plan needs, but they put us in contact with Barzin who works around the corner from them and works on many of A Master's projects. Barzin was great, and in no time we had Architectural plans, and permits issued for our project. We wanted our remodel and addition to be done right, to code, and something we could count on not becoming a DIY disaster down the line. We wanted to ensure our cash investment into the house could be realized as a successful return later down the years if/when we sell. This is our HOME now, not an investment property or a flip. Our first phase consisted of adding LED recess lighting to our living room and our 2 kids' bedrooms. We also removed all carpet, and laminate that was hiding the beautiful 50 + yr old original oak hardwood floors throughout the house. The kids' rooms were sanded, stained, and re-sealed (Jose and his crew do beautiful work). We also gutted, reconfigured, and updated our front full bathroom. We replaced the existing furnace and moved it into the attic. We added a 3.5 ton AC unit as well, and new ducting throughout. We upgraded to a larger and newer electrical panel. Lastly, we completely removed all the galvanized piping throughout the house and replaced it all with copper plumbing from the main (that had already been previously upgraded to copper). For our second phase, we added the addition. This is when about half of the house went down to studs. I have to say, and our inspector seconds it, Freddie (A Master's Foundation and Framing foreman) is awesome. Their attention to detail is by far better than any of the work I've seen even new builders produce. Additional foundation work was done to strengthen and support the house per the new plans. Reinforcement beams were added where new openings were introduced...this house is as solid if not better than it was first built. All new electrical throughout the house was added with new outlets, updated, and grounded existing electrical outlets (Sam and his electrical crew were outstanding). Our entire kitchen was gutted, redesigned to offer an open concept feel and flow between the living room, kitchen, and the now formal dining room. Tons of new soft close cabinets now line the perimeter of the newly remodeled kitchen. Amazing detail work put in by Carlos and his son during installation. All new appliances, along with a huge new deep under mount sink were added. We added oak hardwood floor that Jose was able to match to the existing original hardwood floor for the additional family room and formal dining room. You wouldn't guess it didn't belong originally to the house, and could think the entire floor is new throughout the house...it's beautiful. All windows throughout the house and our slider were replaced with new double pane ones. The windows in the bedrooms were also enlarged to be brought up to code heights. The entire house was re-textured, and painted inside and out. Please excuse the length of this review, but we did a lot of work. I really hope this review helps anyone reading it as a reference, and to connect with an awesome, detailed, high quality, dependable, fast, and affordable construction company and General Contractor for your home improvement needs. We strongly recommend A Master Construction and a 5 star rating is even low for what we would assign to them if we could. In our book they're a solid 10. Give them a call, and turn even dreams you haven't thought about yet into realization with your properties read more

Had a BIG problem with some plumbing at my home..have an old house...whenever something goes wrong it goes WRONG...so Amir got his workers to come out and replace my main line ...huge project ! He did a great job finished it very quickly and efficiently! I highly recommend him! read more

Excellent! Amir and his staff did a wonderful job for our projects. One of them was a complete rebuild home and I can not believe how fast it went down and up. Actually the neighbors still talk about it. Our other project was a remodel. Fantastic. The work is not just fast, but its clean, organized, and professionally done. Recommend it! read more

Amir and his team did a Fantastic Job. We had significant water damage in our home due an upstairs laundry room pipe leak. We had to replace all of the flooring, add foundation piers, add structural beams, and replace a significant amount of drywall. We also chose to remodel 2 bathrooms, our family room, and the downstairs bedroom. I found Amir on Yelp and contacted him based on the reviews here. He showed up on time, was easy to work with, and his references checked out. His estimate was detailed and easy to follow. From day one he was on top of the job, always took my phone calls, helped us work through issues, was flexible when we couldn't make up our mind and finished the job on time as planned. Now we have a beautiful home and the compliments keep coming. I would highly recommend Amir. He and his team are professional and personable. read more

Amir is the BEST !!! He remodeled my condo and now it is the most convenient place to live for me !!! He did all he taught is needed and I simply love it. I strongly recommend him to you guys. read more

Awesome experience!! We had a bad experience with another contractor but Amir and A Master Construction were awesome! We had a full kitchen remodel, and 3 bathroom remodel - they did it on time / on price ( no nickel and diming), and really well done. I highly recommend a master construction for all sort of remodeling! read more

We recently hired A Master to install wood floors and new pendant lighting in our kitchen. Their quote was competitive and the quality of the work was very good. Amir had different crews come out for each part of the job (demolition, wood installation, and electrical), and each of the crews were professional, punctual, and knew their craft well. The wood flooring installation team was particularly great - the floors look better than I could have imagined. I also appreciated that the crews were great about removing trash from the site each day and keeping everything clean. There were a few small issues during the project, but Amir was quick to correct them after they were pointed out. They got the entire job done ahead of schedule (only one week start to finish). We would work with A Master again on our next project. read more

We added about 500 sq. ft, adding a new kitchen, bath, and basically making the whole house new. Their quote was the best among several contractors we received quotes from, and their quoted schedule was also the shortest. They stuck to their schedule, and any change order pricing was fair. The crew worked diligently, and Amir did a great job scheduling his crew. They are mostly done with the job, and overall we are happy with how it turned out. We agree with Mike F's assessment, and it is best to have the plan finished completely with details and have everything written in the contract. Whenever there is a problem, it is generally best to talk to Amir directly instead of talking to the crew. He is responsive and tries his best to fix any problems. Given his pricing, schedule and work quality, we highly recommend A Master Construction. read more

We enjoyed working with A Master Construction. Asal was prompt with email and phone call responses. Amir answered my questions promptly, even on the weekend. He is professional and easy to talk to. He kept us informed of the daily plans for the week. The tile workmanship was great but I wanted the tile a certain way and they fixed it to my liking. I was very happy with the end result. I would use A Master Construction again for future remodel work. read more

Our remodel project include kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, new hardwood floors and carpet, crown molding for the whole house, new doors for all the rooms and closet, and whole house paint. The project is completed in two months, right on schedule. Our 40 years old house looks like brand new, thanks to Amir and his crews for doing a great job in such a short time. What we like about Amir and Amaster construction: Amir is a builder, he can do anything you want from A to Z as he puts it. It really helps when doing a large complex project like ours. For example, the bathroom fan requires adding an outlet on the roof, the bathroom guy didn't install the outlet correctly on the roof, and his roof guy is able to fix it. Amir is very efficient. Almost no days are wasted during the project. In our case, his crews completes raising the kitchen roof, installing cabinet and quartz counter top within a week. He schedules city inspection way ahead of time. When the inspection requires a cover for the electrical panel, he sent his guy shop around for the panel during the weekend. And we passed inspection the next Monday. The job quality depends on who he hires. Carlos did a great job installing kitchen, bathroom cabinets and great craftsmanship in woodwork. Juan did a great job painting our house, removing wall papers and patching all the cracks. We like his granite guy, our quartz counter top looks beautiful. If you are not satisfied with anything, Amir will ask his guys to fix it to your satisfaction. Our kitchen backslash has a few places where the two tiles are not connected smoothly, once we pointed out, Amir asked the tile guy to fix it immediately. Amir stands behind quality of his work. After our project completed, we found out our master bath all tile shower doesn't seal well, he immediately sent his tile guy to re-grout the tile. One Advice from our experience. Since Amir and his team execute in fast pace, you need to know what you want and purchase all the items before they start. read more
