It didn't went very well. He was not very good, but nice guy. He was very inefficient, everything took a lot longer. I would not use them again in the future.

It worked out OK.

It was okay. I was disappointed in some parts but it got done. It ended up costing me a lot more because he didn’t complete the job in the time that I paid for. I was better off just having a bid on the job because I didn’t what would it take him so long. It took him so long because he made mistakes and didn’t follow my design and he had to tear it out.

They were fine, Those guys were great! They did some baseboard work on my condo. they came pretty shortly after I purchased the Big Deal. It did not cost any more than the price that was quoted. They were very professional and punctual and provided a good service. They were better than some other services had I contracted out before so it was well priced. I had a good impression of the staff, they were positive and professional.

At first I purchased his "Deal" of 6 hours of his work for $279 (I think that is right) for some work I needed in my home. After speaking to Ameduri I decided to give him the job of rehabbing our rental house. Haven't even used the "Deal" after my experience with this company I would like a complete refund for the "Deal"!!



This was a fairly simple rehab of a rental property. While I liked working with this company for the first month, after that I found many things were not as I expected. One, the kitchen upper cabinets were hung about 8" to high, the kitchen sink was not centered to the kitchen window (because of bottom cabinet placement). The painter that he used may have never painted before as it was pretty spotty in places and drips nearly everywhere and paint tools were left sitting in a bucket of water, which I had to dispose of. The project should have taken 30 to 45 days but nearing 3 months I finally asked them to leave and I had it finished by another person! Communication was not good, to many calls left unanswered to many deadlines missed, work not done to expectation. I was sorely disappointed!!

He did an okay job. He was supposed to come back and remove the paint on the front gate handle and patch the hole from moving the toilet paper holder, but he never came back. I emailed several times and he never came back.

Mark had the lowest price of the three bids I received. You know what they say... you get what you pay for. At first, Mark gave me a bid of $4600. To hold the job, he required a down payment of $2500! I said that was way too much. He said, that the enclosure was expensive and he had to pay for it up front. In the end, the enclosure he installed cost less than $800.
On top of that, when he was suppose to install it two months later, he said he had to reorder it because it was not the right size. In the end, when he finally installed it, it was a standard size Sterling enclosure, but it wasn't the one he lead me to believe he'd be installing. He replaced my current frameless door with a cheap framed door. It looked ridiculous. When you opened the short door, there was a metal frame running across that would hit me in the teeth if I didn't duck to get in.
He told me that the unit he was putting in cost over $1200. When I looked up that unit, it came with a frameless door. He instead bought the enclosure and door separately and saved about $400. He saved money and I got stuck with a ridiculous looking door. When my wife asked him for a receipt for the shower enclosure (we wanted to have it for warranty purposes), he made a phone call to his vendor asking him if he could get a "dummy" copy of the receipt that didn't include the price!
I asked him to replace the door, but he refused. Instead he offered to have me take $300 off what I owed him. I told him the door I needed cost over $500 and I'd have to pay some one to remove the wrong door and install the new one. In the end, I subtracted $700 and sent him packing. I then had to hire someone to finish the tile work he left undone (some of the tiles he broke during installation) and paid someone to replace the door!
He can not be trusted. After a few days of telling my tenant he'd be there at a certain time and then show up late or not at all, she was very upset. Finally, she told me that she needed to be somewhere at 8:30, so she needed him there no later than 8:15 to let him in. I called him and asked him if he could do that and he assured me he could. I asked him to call me when he was on his way so I'd know he would make it on time. He called me at 7:45 and assured me he was on his way.
I got out of a meeting at 8:20 and saw a text from my tenant saying he still wasn't there! I called her and told her to leave and that I would show up to let him in. My meeting was 10 mile further away  from the job site than where my contractor lived. I got there at 9:00, having to stop at the dry cleaners on the way. Even so,  I got there 10 minutes before him! He tried to claim that he was in traffic and it took him 1:40 minutes to get to the house. Even though I made an either further trip from the same direction in less than 40 minutes. He did the same thing to him the day I met him to inspect the final job and pay him.
Unprofessional, untrustworthy, non-punctual and unethical. DO NOT HIRE.

No comment. I would use him again if work needed was in 20 mile radius of of his office. Great guy!

Fantastic!!! Workers were very professional.

Ameduri Construction did the work but I would never hire him again. He came over to do one thing which we found that he was going to do some replacement of drywall for me and found that there were some black molds so he said he couldn't do that. On the way out, he noticed something on my house that I was wanting to get fixed and he goes "oh, that's an easy fix." I said "okay, why don't I hire you to fix that." The entire 3 hours he was there, I had grunts, every movement of speckles he put on the wall. He ended up going over the time which cost me extra and then he told me he'd call me that night because we were finish up the time frame to finish the job and I haven't heard form him that night, it took 3 weeks for me to hear from him. I think he's had at the time, a perfect storm of too many clients and personal issues so I would never call him again. I ended up having to pay for the materials and then another hour of his time. It was somewhat a reasonable price which is why I was going to bring him back to finish the job.

I purchased a big deal for a contractor for one day.  Ameduri was on time and replaced 3 window sills in about 4 hours doing a great job.  I was happy with the work and contracted with him to replace an outside door for $400.  I ordered the door and he picked it up and installed it with a helper.  They did a great job except that they cut the door too short so the door sweep did not fit properly.  He told me I could get a deeper sweep from Home Depot which I said I would do.  I paid him and the next day tried to find a deeper sweep.  I discovered that there are no deeper sweeps they are all 1/2 inch in depth.  I communicated with Ameduri numerous times and he agreed to repair the door.  He made two definite committments to come and never showed up.  I eventually installed the original sweep and caulked the opening to prevent moisture penetration.  The problem arose because the original door was too short and Mark used it as a template to cut the new door rather than measuring the opening.  The mistake is understandable but the stall tactics were unacceptable.  For that reason I would not recommend him.

As scheduled

A little trouble scheduling. When painting the wrought iron, carpet was stained, but the contractor replied asap to our complaint and did an excellent an prompt job of cleaning the carpet.

Overall, we were happy with work and have already scheduled him to do more work.

Very good.  I had to wait several months for an appointment, but he was very professional and I will use him again.  He was able to do all the things I wanted done in the time period allotted - I believe it was a 2 hour time frame.

I had a decent experience with them, but they they could not do as much work as they said they were going to do. They had planned to complete the job in three hours, but the project took longer than they anticipated. The quality of their work was good, they made a solid construction.

They were very nice, efficient and had good communication. They used the time well.

He was on time and got through my entire list quickly with a job well done. He was also pleasant  to communicate with and have in my house.

See above

The person who covers his business telephone could be a little more personable and efficient in order to ensure he returns calls on a timely basis. However, early on, he had shared his direct cell number, therefore I was able to reach him directly regarding rescheduling.  On the positive side, the first time I spoke with his secretary she was very good about delineating steps I could perform in advance in order to get an optimum number of tasks completed.  For instance, she advised me to discuss my projects with him and buy any non-standard materials I might need in advance.  She also quoted the hourly price should he work beyond three hours.  On my appointment day, he was delayed (understandable given LA traffic and the distance from which he traveled) but he courteous enough to call and advise me of the delay.  Upon arrival, he went to work immediately and he even gave me several extra minutes in order to complete

a few other tasks.
