American Built

John returned my call in a timely fashion. I had great difficulty finding professionals who wanted to do this small job. He came out, we discussed exactly what I wanted, and he gave me an estimate on the spot.

On the scheduled day, John appeared on time and began work before I even knew he was there. He built and stuccoed the planters to my satisfaction. He filled the crack on the other slab neatly and even filled in the front of the slab where it had been raised up.

I'm waiting to paint when I paint my house, but I'm very happy with the job done.

Not only does it look amazing, but he was very professional, on time and stayed on budget. It was great to deal with John as he helped us with design ideas.

Don't use this guy!! he came out to my house around the 1st of June, I made a deal with him to have pavers installed in my backyard on the 23rd of June. about a week prior he text me to cancel till the 7th of July. This caused me to cancel my 4th of July party and now I had to reschedule other contractors. I hear nothing from him so on the 6th of July I text him only to find out he needed to again reschedule until the 15th of July. I expressed how this is very stressful because I needed to get this done, and I already have paid plans to go out of town and would have to reschedule other contractors again!! I expressed how very disappointed I was going to be if I cancel my trip and this doesn't get done. Days later I get a text with some sob story!! Sorry dude I don't buy it!! Thanks I have pallets of dying grass sitting here because I can put them down until your pavers are installed oh not to mention I just lost money on a non refundable plane ticket and once again I have to cancel or reschedule other contractors because of you!!!!! I have spent over a thousand dollars and have absolutely nothing done. This company is a joke he originally blamed the paver supply company but low and behold I didn't trust him and I already contacted the paver supply company and if he would have ordered the pavers when we originally shook hands and agreed on a contract they would have been here before the 1st projected date. Like I said this company is a COMPLETE JOKE!!!! don't waste your time nor your money with broken promises from this guy.

here is a response to his continued lies, he claims he has been in business for over 20 years but his business license was just issued. he claims he didn't order my pavers because money never exchanged hands when I offered him cash on the spot. he claims I completely re designed the project and I was offended etc, All I wanted to do was shift a 18x14 pad to a 45 deg angle, there was no talk about extra material because it was the same amount there was no discussion of me being upset about anything except being strung along for about 2 months and being lied to. Now anyone who wants to know the exact truth and see how you lied to me and your response is a complete fabricated lie can contact me at (813)507-1438 and I will forward you all the texts and you will see how he had one pathetic excuse after another and one lie after another and now has the audacity to come on here and make a total fabricated lie.... wow!

Mr. Waltz brought out some great samples as well as letting us know where his distributer was located (a local business) so we could look at examples of his work and see more color options. He was on time with his appointments and finished the job in a timely manner, even though we had some bad weather. His estimate is the price you pay, unless you add on additional work. We did get an additional estimate for some other paver work in the back yard. We are looking forward to having that done soon. The prices are very reasonable and we were very happy with the craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Repairs performed included Brick Work, Stucco work and some garage drywall repairs.
My problems started with the metal flange/mesh, originally installed to hold up the brick trim above garage door, rusted. It expanded and then pushed down on the stucco above the garage door. This stucco was separated from the concrete underneath and was cracked and beginning to fall.
The repair started with salvaging the brick facing trim with minimum breakage. These 21 year old brick trim pieces were not going to be found where you could buy new bricks. They were able to cut down some bricks they found to replace the broken pieces.
They then had to remove the rusted galvanized flange/mesh that led to the problem and removed all of the stucco above the garage door. They installed new flange material at the top of the repair, in place to hold the brick trim and at the inside edge where the new stucco needed to be installed. The first coat of stucco was applied, the brick trim was installed and then final built up coat of stucco was applied.
The quality of the work is great and as soon as I get a coat of paint on it after a few days, it will look like the original. I couldn't ask for better work.
They also performed some minor stucco and drywall repairs in the garage area where some tape seams had separated and nails popped. They repaired the stucco where some had separated and flaked off the block near the top of the brick wall. Again, quality was excellent.

It went very well. Accurate estimate, professional and hardworking company.

Great experience. Very nice people and very professional and polite. They have a great attention to detail.

Overall responsiveness was OUTSTANDING. The receptionist took the essential details and had a technician called out by the next day. I was very pleased with the courtesy and politeness extended by this business. I would definitely call them in the future.

We purchased a garden shed and had it installed and painted by the contractor; however, we decided to cover the structure in stone which would be more attractive and enhance the value of our property. Through Angie's List we selected America Bridge and Stone of the three people with whom we spoke. They took the time to visit the property even though they are in Hillsborough County and we are in Polk and gave us an estimate which turned out to be exactly what we paid. They completed the work timely. The work was absolutely beautiful and we plan to use them again in the future to do stone work to the main house. I would recommend them wholeheartedly.

Our home was in need of a paint job but one of the window sills broke several years ago. The fine gentleman came to give us an estimate two or three days before Christmas. He explained exactly what needed to be done, assured me that the finished product would look the same as the other window sills, and he quoted the price. Since I was asking the painters to start the same day, he may have been under a little pressure but he agree to do the job in less than five days. The Monday following Christmas, the son brought his father, I was confident before the father came, but the team did a great job. I had a family issue and was not able to stay and watch the entire process, but I could not be happier about the finished product.

John and Bill came to our home the next day to look at the pavers on our lanai, evaluate how they could help, and to provide an estimate. Both men were very professional and respectful. They provided me with an estimate and said they could be out the next day to repair the pavers. They came the next day, on time, repaired the pavers just like they said they would, and I am very pleased with the results.

The company was very professional from the start. They were the only company I called that brought paver samples, not pictures of pavers to the estimate. I also asked them questions I felt would show how well they knew their product, and they passed with flying colors. The morning they were to start the job I was very happy to see the men who gave me the estimate doing the work, not subcontractors. They came prepared and there were no issues. We had been putting the job off for awhile being afraid of the cost and hassle. But I really feel for the price we paid (which was exactly what we were quoted) that the value of our home increased much more. We took a lot of time finding this company and felt compelled to recommend them because we were so pleased. We even called the paver company and asked how much they do business with them and got great remarks. The bathroom turned out really nicely. It is a small bathroom and we were worried the tile would be cut in bad angles. But they took their time and we are so happy with it. And the granite brought our older home up to the year 2008! Another thing I wanted to mention is that the other companies I called on could start the job next day, great, but that meant they had no other work going. This company was a couple weeks out, but to me that said a lot about their demand plus it gave me time to pick out the pavers, tile, and granite and I wanted and clear out the areas where they would be working. They were affordable, honest, dependable, and very courteous. I was also pleased to know they were a family business. Our job was relatively small, but they did not treat us like that. We would definitely use them again.
