It didn't.

Nothing happened.

We decided not to use them but it wasn't a reflection on them.

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.

Miguel and his team were very professional, on time and on budget. They cleaned up after themselves every day and made sure that this bathroom remodel goes as quickly as possible. I will definitely work with Act General Building Construction again.

Overall everything went well. Work was delayed due to poor weather. Unfortunetly we had an extremely rainy fall and winter. But ACT performed as expected. Miguel was available at any time to answer questions.

My wife and I recently purchased a house we had to do some renovations. We went on Angies List to look for reputable Contractors. ACT General building and Construction was the first company that we saw. Read through their reports and feedback and was pretty impressed. We decided to give them a call. Miguel (owner) promptly came out to give us an a bid. He politely inquired about the other contractors that are bidding on the work. He actually told us that he could not beat another contractors price and that we should go with them instead. I know there are a lot of factors to consider when choosing a contractor, but the other contractor is also very highly recommended. Miguel was very helpful telling us what type of renovations are needed and what we could ask the other contractor to look into.

The renovation went as smooth as one could hope when working with the city on a change of use permit.

I interviewed them, got a quote from them and hired them. They were excellent and very professional. They were very clean and they were on time. They were also on budget and I was pleased with their work.

They were punctual and came out when they said they would. I wasn't actually there. They were pretty responsive.

The complete job took two days to repair framing, cover with siding and paint. High quality work, done efficiently.

Miguel was onsite everyday as promised. Miguel and his crew work hard, very fast, and still provided quality work. They performed extra work without extra cost. Miguel provided suggestions and recommendations when asked. They kept the area clean. They would have completed well ahead of schedule if it wasn't for delays caused by our cabinet manufacturer.

We were concerned: the work we need to get accomplished was both extensive and expensive and we were in a national economic turndown. We could not afford mistakes or rework. When we met Miguel and Vicki at our home, we felt at ease immediately. Miguel is a "Can Do" person. Aside from the challenges that our 1937 home with a shared driveway could bring him and his crew we have a 112lb Rottweiler, 4 cats and a parrot. Not a problem for ACT Construction. He cut off the kitchen and addition from the rest of the house and made friends with Lucian, our Rottweiler. He ensured we had hot water by reconnecting our hot water heater every night! The job went extremely well and they worked hard and showed up every day-sometimes on Saturday if the work in progress warranted. Not one of my neighbors complained! His crew cleaned up every night and the backyard, which was used as a staging area, was kept neat and was cleaned out regularly. Miguel and the crew of ACT Construction are great!

It went very well, surprisingly well. I was more involved with the process at the beginning, but toward the end, I handed over control to the contractor. He finished it up swiftly which was nice, given I was eight months pregnant.
