They do good work when you tell them you won't accept them cutting corners and provide site supervision since there is none from the office. Communication was non-existent. They removed the siding from the front of my house, replaced with stucco, installed new windows and front door, and painted the entire house. At the end of the job I am happy with the overall result but every trade tried to get me to sign off on cutting corners and sloppy work. Once I pointed it out they redid the work properly, but it was extremely frustrating. Not the experience I expected for the premium price I paid. They were extremely messy during the whole process and left nails and debris all over my lawn which we had to clean up several times to ensure the safety of my dogs and children. They would have left paint all over my driveway if I hadn't made them come back to powerwash it. They were sloppy until you called them out on it and then they fixed it. Avoid the headache if you can. A 4-5 week job took 12 weeks.

Amazing work! I received several estimates for a damaged window. After meeting with Approved Contractor (process, pricing, and previous work), they were right for the job. The team was professional and navigated a challenging situation. The window did not meet the exact specifications. Our home was built in 1941 and had unexpected wood damage around the frame. After speaking to Jared, the team executed a solution which included concrete framing and a border frame. Once the wood work was completed, the new bow window installed, and the final paint completed to match the existing color scheme of the house, it was an amazing job. Our neighbors are raving about the window. We are very happy and plan to hire Approved Contractor for more work. See the before and after pictures. From damaged window to spectacular view!!! Kudos to the team: Jared, Sergio, and Kimberlee, who were available to answer the many questions to ensure we received the best service and quality product.

Excellent experience from start to finish! We had all our old, and single-pane windows (about 23) and doors (3) replaced at our house. We first met Mark, who came to our house; he thoroughly reviewed our windows and answered our questions without pushing us to sign anything. We met with the owner Jared before we decided to move forward. The communication with the office was excellent. The lead time was ultimately longer than initially planned (but this was expected given the state of the supply chain in 2022). The installation was fantastic. Lalo and his team came for about four days to our house and did an extraordinary job. Lalo explained everything we needed to know about the process to accommodate our working-from-home schedule and our two indoor cats. The resulting work is phenomenal, and the difference in the house is very noticeable between our old and new windows. Overall I would highly recommend Approved Contractor!

I wish I had chosen Approved first…not second, it cost me a substantial amount of money ! After meeting with the Approved Contractor rep I knew this job would be done correctly and stress free. I wouldn’t hesitate to call them again if needed. They removed my first contractors mess and installed James Hardie siding, they did an exceptional job !

Excellent service! Lalo was the person whom we worked with to measure our windows, and install them. He was thorough, clean, and did everything professionally. I can't express how happy I am with the end result. Their back office support, Jared and Kimberlee, were also responsive to inquiries, even when I was contacting them often to answer questions and discuss timeline. While they are very busy, the work was worth the wait. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking quality service!

We were impressed with the quality of the workmanship, the Covid safety protocols, the communications with everyone involved with the project, and the best part was that they stayed within the schedule, even with rainy weather. We will call Approved Contractors with our next home improvement project.

I got 5 estimates and Approved Contractors was the only company that was certified by James Hardie to sell and install its Hardie Fiber Cement siding and trim. They removed my old wood siding, replaced the old insulation, put up a Hardie Wrap moisture barrier, and installed the new siding and trim (including around the windows). The siding I chose was wood-grain 7" Hardie Plank Horizontal style in Pearl Grey. The trim I chose was smooth white which is very crisp looking against the Pearl Grey siding. My house is approximately 2700 sq ft. They installed Color Plus Soffit James Hardie Fiber Cement siding on all eaves of the house. They also wrapped the existing facia. They wrapped the wood around the garage doors as well as the only 2 windows that had wood frames (neither window opens, just plain glass). I live very close to the foohthills in Glendora. During the Colby Fire I had some damage from embers on my canvas awning, patio chairs, patio cover, as well as on my synthetic turf. I have replaced the wood patio cover, and now every other wood surface on the house is covered with non-flamable material. The two sides and back of the house are stucco. Approved Contractors gave me a 4 year workmanship warranty. There is a 15 year Color Plus warranty from James Hardie, this includes fading. There is also a 30 year warranty on materials through James Hardie. I am able to recommend Approved Contractors without reservation. I have had a lot of work done over the 25 years I have owned my home, and Approved Contractors provided excellent work. They were easy to work with, very responsive, and didn't waste time. The office staff as well as the workmen were professional and couldn't have been nicer.
Description of Work: The wood siding on the front of my house was rotting. I also wanted the eaves boxed in to help prevent embers from a fire from getting in my attic.

Sales person was very nice and not at all high-pressure. The project went mostly well compared to other house upgrade & remodel projects I've had done. There were a few hiccups along the way, but those were quickly and easily remedied. The company's office manager, Kimberley, is outstanding--efficient, helpful, and really on top of things. Jared, the owner of the company, is very nice and responded to my questions and concerns very quickly. I asked them to pull the building permits from our city (which our city building dept. recommends) and that turned out to be quite expensive ($894), as they use a 3rd party service to pull permits for them, which I'd never seen done before. $300 of the total permit fees was the service fee from the 3rd party service. They also repaired termite damage in the wood framing that became obvious when the walls were opened up. The project went well once it got started, the workmanship was excellent from all the workers, and we are very happy with the outcome.

The owner Jared came out measured and provided a quote. Later Lalo came to do the final measurements. Once the windows were ready a crew of two came and installed all windows within 2 days. Everyone involved was very professional. The installation crew were very fastidious. I would recommend Approved Contractor to anyone.

Great company to work with! Windows look great! Everyone we had contact with was friendly and responsive. The workers were punctual and gave an accurate timeframe of when the job would be completed. They went above and beyond by returning a few weeks later to install a patio door that we had accidentally purchased in the wrong size. We have already recommended Approved Contractor to our parents for window replacement!

Great experience with Approved Contractors Inc. Jared, the boss, adjusted his crew's schedule to accommodate my schedule, despite passing successive rain storms. The crew showed up on schedule, on time, and performed their job efficiently and thoroughly. They were competent and pleasant to deal with. I am very happy with the result, as well as with the whole process, from my first meeting with Jared, to the completion of the task. I highly recommend Approved Contractors Inc.

They are very professional, good company to work with, absolutely no arguments as far as the scope of the work. They do what they promise and replace any damaged or rotting wood on the house. Very good people to work with. They offer a lifetime guarantee on their work and provide extremely good quality on the physical labor and materials they use. I will recommend and absolutely use them, again.
From the initial meeting with Jared Green through the measurement process and installation with Lolo Castillo and team, the experience with Approved Contractors was excellent. The quality of the products ordered and installed and the attention to detail was flawless. Replacing original windows and sliding glass door from 1955 construction was no small task yet Approved Contractors arrived early, were meticulous in their installation and the work areas were impeccable when they completed their tasks. I could not have wished for a more friendly and respective group to work with and I have already referred Approved Contractors Inc to prospective clients. A job truly well done!
