This review is of A M Construction based in Antioch, CA. (There are other listings with the name…read more"Meneses" that are not in Antioch.) This is not your usual review. I am not a customer. I'm across the street from the customer. I'm writing it because it's the 3rd major construction project in this immediate area in the last several years, one more to go. Three of the four were/are about a year-and-a-half long. I'm writing because I've discovered that there can be significant differences from one construction company to the next when it comes to neighborhood relations. Hire these guys! They don't abuse the work-hour limits set by the city (Albany) like the others, who would often start early or run a long time after they were supposed to quit in the evening. They ease up on weekends out of regard for the neighborhood and often don't work on Sunday at all. The break from construction activity is very welcome. But even in that area, (construction noise) they're better than the rest. I thought they seemed quieter than the others and out of curiosity asked a supervisor, thinking I was just imagining it. Turns out it's deliberate. For instance, how many guys are 'hammering' at the same time, time of day, day of week. They try to intelligently decrease the noise they create as much as they can, as appropriately as they can. They also try to be considerate about parking. They know there's an area a half-block away with parking not in front of anyone's door. They seem to pick up on the difference between an empty parking space that's due to a car being gone all day (to a day job), from an empty space that is used by someone who's based at home all day and empty only because the person is off on an errand for a couple hours. In the latter case they try to limit using that space to once a week. If you're planning a construction project there's no getting away from the fact that it's going to be intrusive to your neighbors noise-wise and parking-wise. They won't be thrilled to have the disruption. How refreshing that this company (A M Construction in Antioch) acts like they realize that too, and try to be considerate when they can. If you care about the effect your plans will have on your neighbors, hire these guys! (Bonus: there's kind of a nice vibe coming off this group. They seem to like each other and enjoy working together.) P.S. I read the other customer reviews for the first time after writing the above. I'm not surprised by what I read. If they make the extra effort in one area they're probably making it in all areas. Tim W. Albany

I hope I can convince you not to hire this company. I had my roof done by them about 10 years ago…read moreand so you WANT TO READ MY REVIEW. Who knows when you first get a roof done if it is done right. I am getting ready to pay another roofer $1,800 to repair the roof where the downspout connected to the drainage on the roof. He showed me a photo of where the downspout connected with the corner of the roof (on a two-story house). The flashing for the drain pipe was ON TOP of the roofing material, so, of course, water had made its way under the flashing and onto the wood below it. Anyone who knows anything knows that you do not put flashing on top. This is a problem that I saw a long time ago when the drain did not catch the water, but put off getting it fixed. I had no idea how bad it was until I saw those photos. If you think I had thought Pickell Roofing company was fine the rot from this idiocy, you would be wrong. First, Pickell put his men on the roof, tearing it apart before I had decided on hiring him. Said it was a "misunderstanding." I gave him the benefit of the doubt. Later, when I put in a freestanding stainless vent for my stove, a huge amount of old, dirty roofing material fell onto my stove. They had just left it in the attic instead of getting rid of it. I am not going to go into each and every problem I had because your time is valuable. I am just warning you that you will have your own list if you hire this guy. If I can, I will come back and attach the photo from the new roofer's camera. I am too old to get up there.

Be very careful. The…read moreowner, Abraham, is extremely nice and pleasant, but he may simply decide not to call or text you back. I'm not talking about excessive calls or unreasonable follow-ups. I'm talking about sending a simple text like, "Hi, are we still on track?" and getting complete radio silence. Ironically, this is the same person who once told me how nice I had been to him years ago when he worked for a company I had hired. When Abraham says, "I say yes," you feel confident you've found the right person. The question is: is it worth the stress of trying to get a hold of him afterward? You end up worrying about questions that could be answered in 30 seconds. You discuss the importance of communication with him, and then the next time you reach out, the same thing happens again. After seeing this review, Abraham suddenly called and started texting me. All of a sudden, he became responsive. He pointed out that he had not yet been formally hired as my contractor, so let me provide the full context. I submitted an offer on a house, and that offer was adjusted based on his verbal bid and willingness to move forward. I explained that I had a limited amount of time to make a decision because I had one contingency remaining before my deposit became nonrefundable. He told me he needed until Friday to provide a bid. During that period, as is common in most business dealings, occasional communication was necessary. It could have been as simple as a brief text exchange. Instead, there was nothing--absolutely nothing. The total amount of communication required between our first meeting and the promised bid date would have been no more than two minutes combined. Those two minutes matter. Sometimes communication is needed simply to make sure everyone understands the situation. For example, what Abraham initially believed could be done during the first and second phases changed after speaking with his engineer, yet he waited to tell me. Abraham and ChatGPT have both responded, but he continues to discuss everything except his own accountability. Perhaps he didn't provide the AI with the right prompts. I will post another screenshot showing that I never repeatedly called him about the estimate, which is what he keeps focusing on. My entire point is this: Abraham does not communicate, especially when he realizes that an assumption or hypothesis he gave you turns out to be incorrect. Rather than communicate, explain the situation, and keep you informed in a timely manner, he ignores calls and text messages. I even received direction from a fire inspector that directly affected his scope of work, and he never heard about it because communication had broken down. The only time he has been consistently responsive is after I posted this review. So when you hear, "I say yes"... run.

Abraham makes you feel like you have a friend in the construction business. This guy will make it happen.

He recommended excellent vendors. His subcontractors were extremely professional and timely as well. Whenever we hit a surprise (there weren't many, which is saying something given the size of the job), Mark handled it calmly and confidently. He has continued to be responsive even after completing the job. He has an eye for architectural details and made helpful recommendations to our design. Remodeling a home requires hundreds of decisions and he navigated us through them, never overloading us, but pacing them out and keeping us on a reasonable schedule. He showed his project managing skills both with how he organized his subs and with how he kept us on task. His direct and honest communication impressed us greatly. We have recommended Mark to several friends and will continue to do so.
