Americal Awnings and Patios

I've been calling them since July. I talked to The owner said he would come out in 2 weeks, he was able to give me a quote but never came out. I was ok with the quote and said he could do it sometime in September. I've called 5 more times and he finally called me back 3 weeks ago and said he be out. Guess what no call no appearance. I guess they don't want my business. To bad I was looking forward to setting out on my patio enjoying the shade.

It went very smooth. No hassle at all. By far the easiest construction I've ever had.

They were very professional.  It took 3 days to do everything and before they left each day, they cleaned up the patio.  They were friendly.  They needed to add stucco to my wall and they painted it for me (I was planning on doing that after they left). The holes that were left by my previous metal posts were filled in with concrete - I asked them to put extra to make sure everything is covered.  Everything I asked them to do, they did it.  I'm very happy with Americal.

It went GREAT! Scott was punctual for estimate appointments and the construction crew arrived and commenced work as scheduled. Taylor, in the office, was a delight and extremely helpful. Without asking, we were provided with construction diagrams and all license and insurance information for Americal as part of the estimate and construction processes. The completion of our awning only took a couple of days and we are very pleased with the result. The necessary building inspections were scheduled by Americal and completion of the project went smoothly on that end. Americal provided an electrical plug and a security light receptacle and switches to control each as part of the installation. We requested that part of the awning be curved to match a seat wall at the end of the patio and our request was accommodated and looks fantastic. The crew cleaned their work areas each day and were meticulous in their attention to the finish details.
Our friends used another awning shop to do their awning (we called this company for an estimate too but were stood up) and this company FAILED to call the building department to obtain the necessary inspections, so their awning could not receive final approval until the company returned and removed the lighting for inspection and approval.
You can get other estimates but I doubt you'll find a company more punctual and professional than Americal. 

My new wife and I wanted to update our backyard and we thought replacing our old wood patio would be a good start. We called a few places in Bakersfield, however Americal had the best customer service. We set up an appointment for a salesman to come out and give us a bid. Scott was very nice and knowledgeable of the product. He gave us our free estimate and did not pressure us into buying right then. We chose Americal because of their great price. They also have been around since 1984, which gave us a sense that they will still be around in the future to uphold their lifetime guarantee. We accepted the offer about three weeks down the road. The whole process was positive. Our patio was installed in November of 2014. The crew that installed our patio was on time, professional, and always cleaned up after themselves  We would recommend America to anyone! They were a joy to work with!
