Ameribuilt
About us
Ameribuilt LLC is the area's once stop source for your home improvement needs. It is no secret that today’s construction industry is extremely unforgiving. Many contractors have completely lost focus of what matters most, the customer. Due to the current economic conditions across the country, many business owners have developed a new low volume/high profit philosophy by charging more for their services to the few clients who actually choose them to complete the work. Rather than changing their business model to reflect the current conditions, these contractors justify this poor behavior as a means for survival in a tough, but improving economy. In addition, these contractors still have a “you’re lucky to have me build your project” attitude. The staff at Ameribuilt does not believe that you should be overcharged simply because a contractor is either too lazy or does not have the capacity to adjust their business model to reflect the current market conditions. The one trait all successful business’ have in common is their ability to adapt to the ever changing market conditions. Furthermore, we at Ameribuilt feel lucky to have our clients invest their hard earned money with us, not the opposite. We believe that we are fortunate to have your business, and it is our responsibility to ensure you have the best possible experience. Our goal is to bring back the personal touch which was lost long ago in the overinflated construction industry. We pledge to not only offer high quality products at fair market relevant prices, but unsurpassed customer service too. That is why we have hand picked each member of the Ameribuilt team. Ameribuilt team member selections are based on three vital factors; Integrity, Motivation and Commitment. These factors were established in order to find team members who have the integrity to make the wise choices which are in the best interests of our clients. The motivation to consistently strive for success and the commitment to ensure each and every client’s project is successfully completed with the best possible customer experience. Ameribuilt is dedicated to helping each client feel comfortable through all phases of construction. We feel the process works best when the customers are kept in the loop and educated about all aspects of their particular project. This philosophy will not only make clients feel more comfortable during the often confusing process but it will ensure the quality of the project consistently remains high. We look forward to earning your business and welcoming you to the Ameribuilt family. Our goal is to make you a customer for life.

"[member name removed], We apologize for the communication issue we faced during construction. When we originally went to begin work, we were under the understanding that you needed an additional week to produce the second payment that was due. We apologize for this confusion and appreciate your business. We are delighted you are happy with the finished product If there is anything we can do for you, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Sincerely, Ameribuilt LLC"
"Thanks so much [Member Name Removed] :) our pleasure"
As for the work itself, the patio crew needed only two days to complete the patio. They were courteous and efficient, and cleaned up any mess they had made. The rounded edges of the patio were cut perfectly, and the grade of the patio correctly drains rainwater away from the house.
The decking crew needed only one morning to complete the freestanding steps. The steps were reasonably well built, though they looked hastily assembled. Some screws were in way too far, others not quite flush with the wood. There were a few issues with this crew. Several small scraps of wood remained in the backyard after completion, as well as at least 10 deck screws found in the grass (fortunately by me, not my dog). The biggest issue was the large scraps and building materials that were left behind- the patio crew neatly stacked the unused pavers curbside when they were finished, and the materials were picked up the next day. The decking crew left large wood scraps and two large black bags of trash/unused material on the lawn next to the curb, ostensibly to be picked up the following day. It sat there over Memorial Day weekend, and into the following week. When I called to inquire if it was going to be picked up, they apologized and said it was an oversight and that someone would be out to pick it up in the next day or two. After two more calls and another week passing, the trash was finally picked up 14 days later.
Bottom line, I can highly recommend Ameribuilt for patio installation. I can't really say the same for the decking crew.
From the first contact on the phone, to the personal, on-site estimate by the owner Troy, it was all top-notch customer service. Troy came out and measured everything and really listened to all our ideas and incorporated them into his drawing and estimate. Everything was done on-site that first visit...we didn't have to wait days for drawings and estimates...it was all done very professionally right on our dining room table.
After looking over the plans and estimate, we made a decision to do it, and Rudy the on-site manager was here the next day digging the holes and starting the job. Rudy was VERY good at what he does. He also listened to and answered all our questions. He never left a mess and was always considerate. His craftsmanship was very evident as we asked for specialty stairs that needed more than just a cookie-cutter build. The way the deck boards are angled and the accents on the corners of the railing all set it apart from others we've seen. Troy also made visits during the process to check on work and check in on us. They handled everything with the permits and inspections and really paid attention to the small details...which was much appreciated! You can see from the attached pictures that it is a sizeable deck and it definitely gets noticed in the neighborhood with compliments all the time.
The price was very reasonable (it was starting the off-season) but Troy also threw in 2 full light packages that really make the deck stand out at night (I'll try and upload some night pictures as well). We are planning to have Ameribuilt construct our patio that will blend right into the deck, and our confident we'll be writing another glowing review. We highly recommend Troy and the Ameribuilt team!
Price: We received an excellent price. For 32,000 (not including appliances, which we supplied), we felt we received a significant deal. Admittedly, the only wrinkle in this was the quoting process, which missed a few items on our design and required a re-negotiation before work began. Even so, the end quote was more than reasonable and we were very pleased.
Quality: The vendors they used for selections were excellent and provide a wide range of options that were well above builder grade. The framing was done quickly and was high quality. The quality of the finish work was excellent and the styles of finishes implemented were in-line with the entire house. After inspecting our basement, the county inspector asked for the number for Ameribuilt to have his own basement refinished! A few months after the work was completed, there were some minor repairs that needed to be done and Ameribuilt fixed them.
Responsiveness: Quite frankly, this was the highlight of the entire experience. Troy (the owner) and all of his employees were incredibly responsive to any and all concerns. Troy would respond to emails and phone calls within the same day. If I sent an email at 10pm, sometimes I would receive a reply in 5 minutes. All together, it made the entire experience flow so smoothly.
Punctuality: The work was completed on time. His people were here when they said they would be.
Professionalism: The entire crew was amazing. There was never an instance where I had questions about their professionalism, work ethic, or anything.
"We really appreciate the positive review!! You are amazing clients and we had a very pleasant experience building your beautiful basement."
Troy has an iPad with a ton of pictures of the company's work, so we were able to get a pretty good sense that their product LOOKS good ... at least from a distance. (Of course most of the pictures were long shots, to give the overall picture of the porch or deck.) We asked for references and called them both. The detailed feedback we got from both customers made us feel comfortable that Ameribuilt was a company we could work with.
I was having a big dinner party for the holidays, so Troy made sure that the work was done in time for the party. I appreciated that.
We were happy with the selection of materials they had to offer. We are very happy with the final product.
I was astonished to find that one guy was going to do all the work on the porch. I didn't think it was a one person job. Elvin did an oustanding job. When our house was built, the original contractor apparently did something different on the roof support that neither Elvin nor Troy had ever seen before. (I don't remember the details, but the upshot was that the beam that runs beneath the porch was narrower than normal, so running the support posts up to it for a clean finish was a little dicey). Elvin talked to both my husband and me to get our input on what we'd like it to look like. My husband ? who understood the mechanics that Elvin was discussing ? was happy with the structural solution he came up with. I was happy because it looked good. (Sorry to be short on the details here.)
Troy had remembered the wrong style of finials for the posts at the bottom of my steps. He made sure that the right style finials was available for Elvin to pick up before the job was complete.
Elvin was a VERY neat worker. I didn't really care about it but, when he didn't finish using all the decking the first day, he moved all the remaining materials over to the side of the house so that my yard wouldn't look unsightly over the weekend before he came back to finish on Monday.
All in all, I would highly recommend Ameribuilt. I feel their pricing is very competitive, they are very professional and produce a great product.
"It was an absolute pleasure, Thank You!"
"Thanks so much for the review :)"
