I inquired with the owner, Samuel, over Yelp messaging for a few days before I decided to move forward and give them a shot. Per our conversation, they had installed crown before. When they came to the house, they were certainly cordial, but they don't have the slightest clue on how to cut corners for crown molding. They attempted to cut 45 degree corners not knowing that no wall will be a true 90. They were unable to get the corners to meet up. They kept cutting multiple pieces, wasting my expensive crown molding, to try and get the corners to meet. After a while, I told them that I was not comfortable with them completing the job. They agreed and left promptly. They might be good at your normal handy jobs but beware, they weren't able to handle this. Realistically speaking, they should have not agreed to perform this job if they were not qualified. read more

I reached to this provider on a Sunday, through Yelp. I provided pictures and an explanation of what we needed. That same night, they gave me a quote of $200. We have a fiberglass tub with a tiled shower and we needed Glass Warehouse sliding frameless glass doors installed. The glass was extremely heavy so we decided we wanted help instead of trying to do it ourselves. I booked my slot for that Friday. The two handymen arrived perfectly on time and were very polite. I had just had the bathtub refinished so they took off their shoes and worked in their socks. Three hours later they left the workspace neat and tidy and perfectly installed. Before my bathroom ended at the shower curtain. Now it ends at the window. They invoiced for the quoted amount. I paid them in the spot with a check and cash combo. $200 well spent. In addition to being polite and professional, I really appreciated how quick and responsive they were, even on a weekend. I'll definitely be doing business with them again. read more

Great guys! They kept in touch, and were able to come earlier than originally scheduled. They showed up wearing masks, were very nice and respectful, and did a great job on an old patch in the ceiling. After it dries, it will look good as new. We're very happy. You should hire them! I even tipped them, which I never do. read more

Don't do business here unless you want to be stood up. This company reached out to me after I submitted estimate requests for a flooring job. Samuel responded quickly and we agreed for him to come on the following Friday at 9am. Friday morning comes and they weren't here by 9:30. I called. No answer. I texted. No response, but he did read my text, just didn't respond. Thirty minutes later I texted again asking for the decency to let me know if they were still coming as I took the day off work for them to come for the project, and if he wasn't coming, then I'd like to go to work. Again, read my text message and just didn't respond. By now, they were nearly 2 hours late and I just told them not to come. I understand things come up, but a simple reply would have been nice so I don't waste my day waiting for them. How extremely unprofessional, rude, and inconsiderate. Would NOT recommend this company. read more

I can't begin to fully explain what a nightmare it was having this company "install" vinyl flooring in my laundry room. Not only did they cut the first sheet of vinyl wrong, requiring me to delay the project and reorder another sheet, the install of the second sheet was substandard work. The result is a lumpy, uneven floor probably because they didn't bother to use a roller or anything to press the vinyl to the adhesive. All this for $400, wow. read more

Great company with fast response times, quality work and excellent overall service. This was my first time using American Built and it won't be my last. We were in the process of selling our house and needed to replace a broken over the range microwave. I received quite a few quotes but ABRs was exactly the amount I was willing to spend on the quick repair. The two employees showed up on time, in masks, took the necessary precautions, cleaned up the area and were done within 15 minutes. Trusting someone to fix anything in your home can sometimes be stressful but these guys make it easy! If you are in need of a great handyman look no further than American Built Renovations! Thank you! read more

Responsive to my inquiries, showed up on time, reasonable prices, quality work, fast work... What else can you ask for? Will do business again, for sure. read more

Sam and team installed an exterior wood accent wall in my entry way. The wood was also used to fill up my front yard gate to add a nice accent. They responded quickly, were very affordable, and cleaned up after the job. I'm getting so many compliments on our new addition, very happy with the install. Thanks guys! read more

I had a great experience with American Built Renovations. They were very responsive and came on time to get the project done perfectly. They even came out to pre- measure and build the shelves before bringing them over to install. Would definitely contact them again in the future for projects around the house. Can't wait to start using my custom built pantry! read more

These guys are top rate! Jason Callahan and a partner came to do a routine winter check on my fairly new furnace. They were efficient, knowledgeable and the first H/Vac company, ever, that didn't try to upsell me. They even repaired a break in an attic duct at no charge. Impressive company for all your contracting needs. Trust me. I've had enough negative experiences with other companies to know the difference. read more

Were very professional and friendly. Appreciate that they didn't "mansplain" their services like other handyman have in my experience. Will definitely be utilizing their services again in the future! read more

Sam did a great job replacing our bathroom fan. He was prompt, clear in what materials he needed and efficient. Would definitely hire again!

I sent a message to ABR & Sam replied to me within about 15 minutes. Thankfully Sam & Austin were close by & came to see my broken door about 45 minutes after our 1st reply! They gave me a great/reasonable price...they came back a few hours later to fix my pocket door. Not only were they fast, they were efficient & friendly! I would recommend using this company for any home improvements. read more

I inquired over YELP and waited for responses from multiple businesses. Samuel got back to me with an estimate and was quick to respond to further questions. We communicated through text afterwards (my request) set a time to come do the job. Samuel was on time and came prepared with masks for COVID safety. They removed six interior doors and trimmed and installed new ones, including hinges. Prior to their departure, they cleaned up and thanked me for the business. Yes I would recommend. read more

As a subcontractor installer for Lowe's Home Improvement Center, they responded timely to set an appointment and followed up the day before on our scheduled dishwasher installation. When Sam and his helper arrived on time and quickly got to work removing our old dishwasher and installing our new unit professionally and efficiently. He and his assistant were polite, curtious and respectfull of our home; cleaning up afterward and taking great care moving the units in and out of our home. I was impressed with their work and plan to call them again for some other work we have around the house. read more

I would not use this business again-I found them to be very unprofessional. This was a two part job that they had agreed to complete. For the first portion they showed up on time and performed the work efficiently. We agreed upon a time that they would return to finish the 2nd portion. Well that day came and they did not show. Hours after our appointment time got a text they were running behind on another project. Asked when they might want to reschedule. No answer for a few hours then finally told they could come the next day. Meanwhile we'd been waiting at home all day for them to come by. The next day they were a no show despite texts from me asking if they wanted to reschedule again. I also asked if they could please let me know if they didn't want to finish the job so we could at least find someone else to do it. Unfortunately this business didn't even have the respect or decency to answer this question. Never heard from them again and don't plan on using them again. read more

Update: The California Contracting Board has reported this company and individuals are not licensed, so they cannot legally do over $500 worth of work in California. Something to consider when working with this company. Unfortunately, they flaked and then refused to respond to messages, and ended up ghosting after leaving flooring installation unfinished and damaged. Like many of the low rated reviews, I was excited to work with Sam originally because he was polite and responsive, but that changed very quickly. Very disappointed, it's not worth the hassle. read more

They responded within minutes. Same-day service. They were wearing masks, polite,courteous. I have very tall doors. They realigned it so as to keep air in. There had been a large space around the door. I thought it was in need of weather stripping. They fixed the door jam as well Now the door stays closed securely. Overall I rate them A plus. The job took less than 15 minutes! Thank you. I will call again! read more

Scheduled an estimate with sam "the owner" to come in today at 10am. It's noon with no communication as to why he is late or if he is even still coming. If he does call at some point today, I will not do business with this company. I don't take being stood up when my money and business are good. Their loss. I don't recommend even contacting this business unless you want to get stood up. read more

This company has good reviews, so I was really surprised when they no showed for a confirmed appointment to come fix my door. I had to follow up with them to confirm, and even though they responded that they would be here at the scheduled time, they didn't show up. After half an hour of waiting I tried calling, but no one answered and the voice mailbox was full. So I sent a message through Yelp that shows it was read, but I still got no response from Sam, who is the one person I'd been communicating. Unprofessional and disappointing. I would not recommend them to anyone. read more

I spoke with Sam 2x and they sound like they are very young and unexperienced. They didn't sound reliable or professional. I decided to cancel my appointment because I needed reliable, prompt service. read more

Sam and Austin did an excellent job staining our backyard fence. From obtaining an estimate through completion of the work communication was excellent. They always arrived on time and the job they did was first rate at a fair price. Would have no reservations calling on them for our next project. read more

The manager was super responsive at the beginning, despite reading other no call no show reviews, I thought it was just an unfortunate incident. Until the day of the appointment the manager texted and postponed twice. When the actual appointment comes around, They were no show no call. Hope they didn't get in an accident or something. read more

These guys ROCKED it! Showed up on time (early actually), with masks on, with great attitudes and were super friendly. They were conscientious about cleaning up and were more than happy to do a couple slight modifications to the kitchen sink faucet they came to install. These will definitely be our go-to guys from now on! Awesome work! read more

Samuel and his crew are very accommodating, I was on a very short deadline to finish up an apartment in Sacramento. They managed to come out on Sunday to finish the work. They listened to what I wanted, and made a couple good suggestions. They didn't try to upsell me, and the final price was very reasonable. After all they did a great job, very professional, I was very happy about it! I definitely recommend them for your projects! read more

We were pleased with the prompt, professional & knowledgeable service we received. Also, they were very reasonable. Will definitely call them for work in the future. We strongly recommend them! read more

Loved that they showed up in a mask and safety is paramount right now. Sam and Antonio are professional , straightforward, and friendly.
