I can't speak to the kind of work they do but I thought waiting a week for an estimate is nuts. If I'm wrong, I apologize but that was a turn off.
When the time came to choose the color for the roof I asked my neighbor (I live in half a double) for his thoughts so we could match. I even asked him to consider using John for his roof, but he had fallen into the trap of those "storm chasers" who hit town just after the hail storm happened. And he couldn't back out, because he had already put money down. (The moral of that story is stick to a local contractor, someone who will be there if you have questions or concerns after the fact!!)
Anyway, we agreed on a color and it turned out to be close enough. The products John used seemed to me to be more eye-appealing than my neighbor's, but that is just a personal opinion. The final product turned out great. My back roof (that little piece over your back porch) - John even put shingles on that. I assumed that was a normal thing until I looked out the rear upstairs window and noticed that my neighbor's contractor only put down a piece of tarpaper. Yuck. That doesn't match well at all, but nothing I can do about it.
John and his crew are a class act. They showed up on time (as I was leaving for work) and as I recall the roof was pretty much (if not all) done the same day. They had a subcontractor come in another day to replace the gutters but John, Jr stayed all day to supervise and instruct on a particular placement of a gutter that we had agreed on.
Because John had such a good job on the storm repairs, my brother and I asked that John give us an estimate to replace storm doors and windows in Mom's house. We gave the job to John, and he and his crew completed the work quickly and with a minimum of disruption and confusion to Mom.
We value John's serrvices highly, and were pleased that he stuck to his estimates and did very good work. If we need some more work done on Mom's home, we will be in touch with John and his American Construction group of Jim Thorpe PA.
My only complaint has nothing to do with the work that was done. The owner probably shouldn't talk politics with his customers, because one day, it's going to offend someone and cause him to lose a customer.
They also did a fantastic and thorough job sanding and painting the window trim. The house has a lot of windows and they completed the job effectively and efficiently.
After both jobs they cleaned the site completely.
My house looks terrific now, thanks to American Construction!
John, the owner, was a pleasure to work with-from start to finish.
I look forward to using American Construction in the future for any other projects my house needs.
