I found Miguel to be a true gentleman and a pleasure to work with. He was very helpful in figuring out how to work around issues associated with updating a 100 year old house. He made numerous suggestions that facilitated the work.
I found the charges to be reasonable. He has a very hard working crew that did a first rate job.
I had gotten another bid on the job and simply stated, Miguel saved us thousands of dollars. If you want a 1st class job, Miguel will do it for you. I might add, that when I was shopping for someone to do the work, I looked for a contractor can do electrical,
plumbing and general construction. I didn?t what the work subbed out. This allowed the project to be completed in the time
estimated.
I was amazed reading the negative comments posted and only assume that the folks either didn?t care about the quality of the work they wanted or simply wanted the work done for free. I might add that I think I am easy to work with and don't have unreasonable expectations. I also believe that folks are entitled to fair pay for a job well done.

I rehired ACT General Construction once again after they completed my interior remodel. I had concerns regarding dry rot on the back of my house and it needed painting. This also involved painting the portion of my house which was in a neighbor’s back yard. They completed the work on my neighbor’s side first as I had requested, and cleaned up to my neighbor’s satisfaction. This was important to me as I wanted to continue to have a good relationship with my neighbor. Three pieces of dry rotted board were discovered and replaced. The house was painted and now looks great. They cleaned up the area and finished within the time line. Very professional and excellent work as always.

Miguel checked the areas in the report and recommended a low-cost treatment we could do ourselves for $20 rather than the thousands the other contractor had estimated.
Then he went on to check peeling exterior paint, signs of settling in interior common areas, the condition of the roof, and interior signs of water damage under the roof. In all cases he gave an evaluation of what he found, made recommendations for remedial work, but recommended that we find a specialized contractor (roofer, painter) and keep costs down rather than make it into a bigger project suitable for ACT General Building Construction.
He did a thorough job even though he realized early on that he wouldn't make a cent from us. Instead, he made a friend. I'll certainly ask him to look at any significant construction job we may have in the future.
As my rating notes, he was slow to return phone messages and I had to follow up a couple of times, but that didn't leave me with a negative overall impression of his professionalism.

I called Miguel at ACT General Contracting because of the positive experience I had with him and his workers on a much smaller job in November 2011. The review is below. The job described above took a month. We moved out of the house completely, and stored all belongings in the garage. Miguel installed a lock box on our gate for access to the house. We stopped by everyday to see how the work was coming and were very pleased by the hardworking craftsmen that we found at work each day. Miguel was usually at the house overseeing various aspects of the work. Miguel is EXTREMELY responsive to questions and phone calls. Any questions or concerns that came up were honestly addressed. He explained what and how the work was being done and checked with me frequently to make sure that all was as we agreed. Any small details that I noticed and requested correction on were immediatly addressed and fixed. The craftsmanship on the painting, flooring, tile and bathroom remodel was excellent in every way.I had never given my house keys to a contractor previously, but after my conversations with Miguel prior to the work being done, I had full confidence in his honesty and integrity. I was not sorry. Whenever I came to him with a 'worry' he said " That's why you hire a contractor, let me do the worrying"I have to say that this was the smoothest ,most painless experience that I have ever had with a contractor.I would not hesitate to highly recommend him and his company and feel fortunate that I found this company on Angie's list.

I am very happy with the quality of work that was done.
We were on a very tight schedule to get the work completed, but the schedule slipped several times. This was a major problem as he wasn't the only contractor doing work and there were dependancies. He did finally complete it in time and we were able to move in when we wanted to.

The project took slightly longer than projected due to unanticipated issues found during the work. However, this wasn't unexpected due to the age of the house. Miguel did a great job outlining the issues and providing reasonable and cost effective solutions. At no time did we feel that we were being ripped off or pushed for more money.

When I consulted Miguel Tolmo I had no concerns over working w/ him. ACT constructed a deck over patio and remodelled a bath.The deck cracked and splintered immediately. ACT was still working on the bath remodel, saw for themselves the boards were bad. Miguel Tolmo said of course the bad ones would be replaced. As they replaced a few boards here and there it became obvious it was a total mess. Even the replacement boards were bad. Mr. Tolmo said he wasn't going to make his money if he had to replace the whole deck. They left the job, never came back. I called him, he yelled at me and told me I wasn't going to be happy and keep my last payment of &1000. (i already gave him Full payment for the deck; $2500) He yelled, I cried. its a mess***** keep $1000 ***The deck cost $2500.00.****The bath was a whole different nightmare. Mr Tolmo was extremely put out by my purchasing my items at discount on my own though we agreed up front. Ex; Mr Tolmo ok'd my new faucet, his worker says its wrong, need a different kind. Tolmo gets upset and tells me I hold the workers up. I purchased an exhaust fan/light/nitelite -they dedicated one switch, which means even after pointing out the error, they didn't fix it. No nite-lite....no separate fan. One switch.The tile man was stopped by me; the poor guy was so fustrated that he was saying cursing out loud. He was having a very difficult time w/ 1 in. tiles laying flat. I told Mr Tolmo via phone I needed another person to take over. Tolmo insisted that guy had 30 yrs of tile experience. NO The other man took over and did a great job, (secret was they needed him on a bigger job in SF). Mr Tolmo was very unhappy w/ me.
There is more but do I go on?I have several photos.

I called Miguel for a bid in December, told him I had a small budget but a lot of "honey-doer" projects around my house. First priority was to install crown moulding in 3 rooms. They did it in 2 days and D*** was I pleased. It was stunning work - nearly flawless (unless you know where to look, and are looking very hard to find the seams, you won't know they exist because it's all perfectly matched). I was so pleased with that project I brought them back for the next big job, the back deck. Again, Miguel took time to evaluate the project, talk over my options with me, and ensure that I got the design for the price and look I wanted. Again, I was absolutely thrilled with the outcome. They started the job the week we had planned, and finished sooner than expected.
Overall, they did an EXCELLENT job. They worked efficiently, and the work they did was beautiful. In addition, there was never any mess. They are immaculate workers, respectful of my home and time, and very conscientious about their work ethics. As long as they're want to work for me, I will always call Miguel, first.
BTW - I got a bid from another construction company to do the same job and it came in at $10,000 more. In addition, my intuition was screaming at me to stay away from the other company. When I looked at their reviews, they were super shady. As soon as I met Miguel I knew that he would be the right man for the job. I am very glad I chose ACT for my projects.

His name was Miguel. He was really, really good. He was incredibly professional. He was also very, very patient. It was a really long process to get the permits and he was right there with me the entire time to help out. We had to get 13 stamps for the permit for this small project. My downstairs neighbor was very rude to him and his staff. He was very professional even though I think a lot of other people would not have been as professional. He actually didn't even tell me a lot of the things she did until the project was over. He protected me from her which was way above and beyond. He had a couple of people on his staff. His foreman, Jesus, was professional, kind and amazing. They kept my house so clean while they were doing the work. I could barely tell that work was being done. They papered my entire floor and repapered the floor almost every other day to ensure no damage was done to the floor or walls. He did the work correctly and ensured that it was done correctly. He was really open on communication and he stuck to the deadlines. I would use him again for sure. His price was half of somebody else.

I could not be more satisfied with ACT General Building Construction. The owner Miguel Tolmo's professionalism and standard of excellence were reflected in every phase of the project. From our first meeting I was impressed by his responsiveness to my needs and clear answers to all my questions. Miguel provided a thoughtful assessment of the remodel offering creative solutions and invaluable suggestions. My old fashioned thirty's kitchen was transformed into a beautiful contemporary space. Taking great pride in his work Miguel paid attention to every detail.
I would rate ACT's performance as "outstanding". The project was both on schedule and on budget.
Miguel and his team were a total pleasure to work with: reliable, trustworthy and considerate.
Communication and accessibility couldn't have been better.

I had a unique tile mosaic project (detached) in mind and Miguel took on the challenge with a can-do attitude. He did a very good job on the project. Because it was a bit of an odd concept, some of the edges weren't angled 100% perfectly, but I'm sure no one else notices. i would hire Miguel again. *The price was so low because it was an Angie's List deal.

All I really want from a contractor is responsiveness, respect for my property, a fair price, and workmen who appear on time and clean up after themselves. Unfortunately this isn't necessarily easy to find.
I consider myself very lucky to have found this company on Angie's list. They were the 3rd company I called but as far as I'm concerned should be listed first in the directory.
Miguel the owner, came to evaluate the problem the day I called him.
He gave me a good idea of what the work would require.
He sent me an estimate the next day.
He came to the house with a contract 2 days after that, and began work the following week.
All together the work took 6 days.
His workers were polite, quiet, respectful and came on time.
I feel that the price was fair for the work done.
I was able to call Miguel anytime I had a question and he was extremely responsive.
I would highly recommend this company without hesitation, and would be happy to have them do work in my home again.

I cannot say enough good things about Miguel (owner), his crew and the quality of the work they performed. As a first time homeowner, I subscribed to Angie's List to find a contractor who could help with the work we wanted done. ACT was one of the first companies that came up in the search and after reading all the great reviews, I decided to schedule an appointment for an estimate. Miguel and his partner came to my house the very next day and on top of being very personable, they answered all my questions clearly and in a manner I could understand (being my first home, I know nothing about remodels and how things work). I felt very confident after they left that they would do a great job and they knew what they were doing. They started working the following week and were always on time, very clean (as can be expected when renovating a room), polite and if we had any questions during the process were very accommodating (even via phone in the evenings). The entire team worked very hard and it is clear that they all care very much about the quality of the work. Everything was completed on schedule and we couldn't be happier with the results. Price was very fair. We have more projects to tackle in the future and will without question be using ACT again.

Miguel Tolmo, the contractor came to my house to discuss my plans soon after I called him. I found him to be friendly, easy to talk to, and very professional. He had great ideas for some changes to my existing plans. It was like he "got me" after listening to me. (He studied psychology in Cuba : ) He wrote up a work contract that was extremely clear, stating exactly what work he would do and my payment schedule. I liked that there was a stated price for the project, given the unknowns of what he may find behind my 90 year old cabinets. Miguel and his crew were punctual and highly skilled. Miguel was very organized and he kept the job running smoothly. The electrical wiring was not up to code and ended up being a lot of extra work. The original quote for the work was not increased, however. They discovered a major water leak under the house that was beyond the scope of the project. The price quote from a plumber was $2700. Miguel did the work instead for $1,000. Miguel was here everyday to oversee the work and when he left he was accessible on his cell phone, day or night. He was very helpful and answered a lot of my questions regarding cabinet and appliance decisions.
The whole job was completed in 2 weeks! I have heard about kitchens taking a month or more and was prepared for the worst. I couldn't be more pleased to be moving into my beautiful new kitchen. Miguel is bilingual and easily switches between Spanish and English. I do not speak Spanish and found him easy to understand and very communicative. He has been doing this work for over 20 years and knows the ins and outs of the business. I feel like Miguel has become a friend through this process and will recommend him to everyone I know. (I'm actually going to miss having him around!)

Miguel Tolmo, owner of ACT General Building Construction, Inc. made contact with me within a few days of my purchase. I indicated at that time that I was not ready for him to perform the work. We arranged for a later schedule. Once I contacted him to begin the work, he came to the house, reviewed the job, indicated the material that I needed to supply for him and scheduled the work.
He came to completed the job once I indicated that my pre-work had been completed and all was ready for him He arrived promply, worked quickly and provided a quality job. He cleaned up once the work had been completed.
The job he performed was perfectly executed. He was friendly and easy to work with.
Thanks Miguel....and thanks Angie's List.
