Team was great to deal with. I was experiencing bees entering basement through pipe caulking gaps. They diagnosed how best to fix and immediately repaired them the next day. I explained I had an important phone call and they performed the work quietly and reached out afterwards to verify I was happy with the work and to finalize payment. Would hire again.

The job was approached correctly to attempt to find the cause of the upstairs leakage before the caulking was started. They looked at the problem rather than simply rely on photos or offer a quote. Everything was communicated openly, and reasons given for every step that was taken. Could not be happier with the overall result.

I asked for someone to take a look at the things I needed done and provide an estimate. The guy showed up and I asked him to either take off shoes or cover them with a plastic bag or some other covering. He simply took off saying he will be back another time but I could see he was annoyed with my request to take off shoes. He said it is a safety hazard, which I am not sure how.
Response from A1 American Home Improvement

"I was unable to take my shoes off due to insurance reasons in case I slip on a floor or step on a sharp object. I am sorry that the customer thought I was being dismissive with him on that day and misunderstood what I was trying to tell him. I DID NOT DO ANY TYPE OF WORK FOR THIS CUSTOMER NOR DID I GIVE HIM AN ESTIMATE FOR ANY WORK HE NEEDED DONE. THE PEOPLE WHO I COMPLETED WORK FOR IN OTHER REVIEWS ALWAYS LEAVE A 5 STAR PERFECT REVIEW FOR MY WORK AND ARE ALWAYS COMPLETLY SATISFIED."

I called Mike from A1 American Home Improvement to assemble several pieces of furniture. His price was fair so I hired him. He was responsive to emails and texts, came when he was supposed to and did a great job! He was also respectful and just an all around nice guy. I would definitely recommend him and plan to use him again for other odd jobs.

It went very well. Walter and Mike are excellent handymen. They are professional, neat, punctual and competent. The work they did in my home looks wonderful and I am very pleased with their work. I am hiring them again to do additional work in my very old home! I will also refer them to my friends and family.

The 1st time I met Walter & son, I am already confident that they will perform the job needed for my house. And they did not fail me. Very knowledgeable and dependable. They are quick, yet efficient. I will definitely hire them again in the future!

Walter and Mike did a great job with all the repairs. I especially appreciate Walter's suggestions with the garage ceiling down, putting floor above ceiling, add attic stairs for easier access (was using ladder previously), adding more lighting (much better than before), repair basement stairway wall. I found all his suggestions to be extremely helpful as I would never have thought of it -until it was too late, if at all. Mike was also very conscientious about satisfying my aesthetics with the door trims (had preferred colors if doable). The work was bundled into one price including new lighting fixtures which turned-out to be exactly what I would have selected. Very happy with work, would call again in a heartbeat on any future projects.

I used A1 to update a hall bathroom in a rental property. This involved a replacing a vanity, installing vinyl plank flooring and repainting. Walter and his son did a great job for me and were very easy to deal with. I highly recommend them.

Updated Review 04/08/2019 in response to the Service Providers comments: He guaranteed me, that the crack will not be visible, he obviously did not do the repair correctly because the cracks is still visible, when he came back he just did a quick patch, "When you explained how the job would be done, you said that you are going to cut out the whole area where the crack was, and you did not do that, All you did is spackle over the crack and sanded it, and you didn't even sanded it flat." It was a rushed job, and after I primed it all the shutty work all popped out, all the bad works that he did popped out, and I called him, and I don't need to hire a new contractor to fix his shutty work and He actually offered me a compensation for the work because he knew that he did a bad job. My husband is a cancer patient, and we just want this thing gets fixed, and he was offering to pay $150.00 because he knew he did a very bad job. You are the scammer, you got paid $1150.00 in CASH, for a job that you didn't do right, now who is Scamming who? When he was doing the job, and using your sander near my furnace, their was sawdust all over my furnace, and when i asked if was safe, he said yes because he was so lazy to get out 5 steps away to keep the sawdust away from the furnace and work outside. I have the furnace repaired because it was clogged on top due to the sawdust from the sanding he did. He even caused me more work and money just because of the bad work he did. Highly disappointed, Please beware of this guys, and I won't consider recommending them to anyone. He was a total jerk, if he would have done the work right the first time, then everything would have been fine, but he gets us on a run around and dare to call me a scammer, where in fact he was the one who did not do the work correctly and caused me more money to fixed the mess he did.
Response from A1 American Home Improvement

"After going back twice to the location there was no visible cracks. Customer said they needed a partial refund to hire another person but couldn't produce a contract or even a phone number for this person. Attempted to scam money from a completed job."
