Martin and his team were so professional and knowledgeable. They worked quickly and were incredibly clean and polite. Martin helped me create a beautiful and safe environment for my business. His knowledge of codes and requirements is unmatched, and his creative problem-solving was what made my project a reality. He communicates in a very timely manner. I never felt like I was abandoned on my project and I always knew what was happening, and what was coming next. He definitely wasn't the cheapest quote, but the final invoice was right on track with what the original quote was. When all was said and done, to get this same work done by another contractor, it would have cost the same or more...and the work was so beautifully done that it was beyond worth it! He is the guy you go to when you want things done RIGHT. I would HIGHLY recommend Martin and his team for any project. He will make sure it is done right!

Excellent results. When Martin came to the house he confirmed that our cabinets were in good structural condition. He carefully explained how their work would proceed and what we could expect. At my wife's request Martin took on of the kitchen drawer fronts that was in pretty bad condition and refinished it to illustrate the result we could expect. Martin's crews were very professional. They used lots of plastic and drop cloths to protect carpeting, furniture, floors, etc. and removed it all completely after they were done. The entire refinishing process took two days. Full disclosure: it did take around 6 days for the odor from the varnish to completely dissipate. We are thrilled with the results. We are very pleased with how our cabinets look and we only spent 20%-25% of what it would have cost to replace them.

They did a good job. It was a couple of them. Most of the work was they had to carry down the old porch and stair case and they rebuild that. Everything is well done. I would give them high marks. I got an entirely new staircase and porch.

Choosing Martin and his team at American Classic Construction was by far the best choice we made in our build-out phase.  I have never worked with someone so honest, knowledgeable, and willing to bend over backwards to make sure we were happy.  Martin always provided us with excellent options to chose from and everything he delivered to us was top-notch quality and well below the prices others were charging.  Martin outfitted us with everything we needed.  He did our flooring, our custom cabinetry, all of our electrical work and plumbing, our ceiling, all of our painting and finish work, and just about everything else.  Every aspect of our project was explained in detail by Martin and he always made sure we had every piece of information before making our decisions.  Everything came out even better than Martin promised.  He's one of the rare contractors that under-promises and over-delivers.  I can't say enough good things about working with the team at American Classic Construction.
We ran into major problems with our landlord, who was trying to take advantage of us, and Martin not only stood by our side to make sure we weren't bullied by the landlord, but he worked (many times without even charging us) to help ensure that our costs stayed as low as possible.  Any other contractor would have simply done the work that the landlord was responsible for and billed us for it, but not Martin.  He never tried to take on extra work to bill us when the work was supposed to be done by the landlord's team on their own dime.  I could not have had a better contractor on my side.  Martin is an encyclopedia of knowledge and he's more than willing to share his expertise with anyone who will listen.  He educates his clients so that no decision is made blindly and there is never any regret after the fact.
If you're looking for an honest, loyal, and knowledgeable contractor who's willing to go far out of his way to do right by his clients, then Martin and American Classic Construction are the only team you need.  Plus, somehow Martin gets the best prices on all of the materials he uses (I've done the research and he's the best), and the savings were always passed on to us as the client.
I've used other contractors in the past, but now I would never consider using anyone but American Classic Construction for our future projects.

  1. This company is very very professional.   Not only gave me an estimate but helped me work with the Insurance Company.  The demolition and work was done in a very neat, clean and timely matter.  The repairs were beautiful!
I would definitely refer this company to my friends and others.

I have to give it to Martin Lubran, he runs an exceptional team. They were always on-time at 7am and finished the work in less time than they had originally estimated. They initially estimated 7 days but they were so quick! Martin had his employee Kyle in charge of our project and Martin checked in with us almost every day. They were clean, speedy, and had a million guys working quickly.
We had about 6,000 sq. ft. remodeled in our commercial space. We put up walls, glass panels, doors, painted the entire space. They did an exceptional job! I would love to work with them again and most likely will in the future.

Martin is a professional and was very understanding of our needs. This was the second project we did with him. He first built our house  almost 10 years ago and this time he repainted and performed repairs and upgrades.

Kyle (Martins foreman) was arriving at the house to finish up some repairs and upon arriving found that there had just been a fire at the house caused by a lighting fixture that corroded and fell of the outside of the house. He contacted me and was extremely helpful by boarding up the house and making sure no other damage would be caused by covering the exposed parts of the house. 
Martin was then able to advise me with dealing with the insurance company which I had no experience with. He was then able to arrange all the remediation work. That work including both interior and exterior repair. He was also very helpful in dealing with the residual odor that the fire caused.

"Thank you for your post. We too are glad that our timing was such that we could take cae of the fire damage as quickly as we were able to do so."

Excellent from start to finish. Martin (having done other quality work at a rental property we own)  and I walked the house with the goal of making a more baby/ toddler safe and bring it up to modern standards. He then arranged for his crew to do the work. Everything was done in the time promised. All the work was excellent quality and they always cleaned up any mess that they made. 
Martin is easy to communicate with, answers his phone and always made sure the jobs were done in time and of high quality. He is a stickler for doing thing up to code and obtaining all required permits which in the long run is the best way to go. 
After dealing with many contractors over the years it is refreshing to have someone I feel has me and my families best interest in mind. Work gets DONE with no drama and no excuses. I rarely have the time to write reviews with no complaints but in this case I can recommend Martin and American Classic whole heartedly and with no qualms. Highly recommended!

As a follow-up to a previous project, I asked American Classic Construction to build a storage building. I looked at other well known companies in the area and decided to have American Classic Construction do the work as Mr. Lubran had advised that his company could make the storage building match the recently completed guest house.  I was very glad that I went with Mr. Lubran's company. Not only did the finished building look like the the other building, but the whole project took less than 1 week.  Mr. Lubran's company didn't skip anything. Without interior walls, it is easy to see the quality of the framing which is normally covered up.

As the trustee for the estate, satisfying this elderly couple was very difficult and challenging.  American Classic Construction did an excellent job of listening to the requirements and then coming up with a design that even matched their furniture.  As one of the couple was ill, Mr. Lubran made sure that the permits were obtained in a matter of weeks, despite several significant obstacles they had to overcome.  Actual construction took only six weeks from start to finish which was much faster than I expected.  The overall finished quality was superb including attention to details I have not seen in other contractors.  For the money paid, when considering the requirements imposed, I think the end result also showed very good value.

It went amazingly well.  Mr. Lubran continues to be of great help to me when I call him with a concern..  He takes care of everything.  When he says "not to worry," he really means it.  He solved all issues in a timely manner, and I never had to "worry."  Mr. Lubran is extremely  professional and very knowledgeable in all aspects of construction.  He always took the time to explain to me what the issues were and what my options were.  Above all, he always responded to my calls and e-mails the same day.  You will be more than satisfied with his work.  My entire hillside had to be "remodeled," and he did it!  Above all, Mr. Lubran is a gentleman and a pleasure to work with.

New electrical outlets were installed and the older electrical service to the house was grounded. This work was all done well but the electrician didn't speak much English and he couldn't understand our instructions about how to disarm the alarm system. He set it off twice. Next was the closing up of the walls and ceiling. We had some issues here because the plaster work and paint were pretty sloppy and the crew wound up having to come back to redo some of it. Their second attempt was much better but they still left a couple of small, sloppy spots where the shower stall tile meets the wall. I decided to fix it myself. The plumbers returned to install the new pedestal sink, the shower valve and re-install the toilet. Some insulation under the house, which they had to remove to do their work, was not replaced and they left a big hole that they had dug under the house to access the sewer line. I went under the house and finished these two jobs myself. The last job was the glass shower enclosure. This turned into quite a fiasco because, although they measured on two separate occasions, the cuts for the frame were done incorrectly and had to be reordered. This caused a nearly three week delay. We thought that was crazy since the manufacturer is local. We had also added a brushed nickel frame rather than chrome and narrow reeded glass instead of clear glass. The work was done well but the enclosure seemed rather mid grade and the original $1,500 cost was increased to $2,500 by the brushed nickel frame and special glass. We felt that this was a little excessive, even for a custom enclosure.... a very small one. Most irritating was the fact that this small "six week" job took eleven weeks to complete. We were obviously sandwiched between other, more profitable jobs, so there were many days on which no work was done. We understood that completely but, still, eleven weeks for an original six week schedule on such a small project seemed a little unreasonable. Nevertheless, the final product is quite nice. Our contractor was very willing to make everything right. We just wish that the whole process had been a lot smoother and shorter. With some stricter ground rules up front, in writing and, perhaps, more careful selection of a couple sub-contractors, we might have avoided some frustration. As mentioned, though, the finished bathroom is very nice.
Response from AMERICAN CLASSIC CONSTRUCTION INC.
"The member did a good job of relating his experiences. However, we believe it is important to note that the project delay was not based on our other work but rather both additional work approved by the member and the shower door vendor who, although the largest in Southern California, did not respond in a timely fashion to our more than thirty phone calls. The other concerns the member had were all finished to his satisfaction, including repairing any damage as a result of the demolition. We have other plumbers but in this case we used the plumber that the client wanted and so we did the best we could to have this plumber perform to our standards. This plumber had done work for us in the past without issues but not for several years. As the member commented, the end result was to his satisfaction and although the process could have been smoother, we did make sure that all issues the member brought to our attention were resolved as quickly as possible."

The contractor for this job was a very interesting guy. His name was Martin. He had his men here working everyday but during the whole five months, I probably only saw him about five times. I thought he should have been here a little more than that. Other than that, everything is going good for us and everything seems to be fine. The workers were very nice and I would hire them again. As far as pricing that is kind of between American Classic and I.
