Client Testimonials

Why Homeowners Trust American Building Co

“Chad was a breath of fresh air and a relief. We had started the project with another contractor that had given us a 3-month timetable for the work. A year later we were still not done with the project. The problems were numerous: work not done on time or schedule, continually failed inspections, and terrible communication. We would have to chase them down to find out why work wasn’t being done. When Chad picked up the project all that ended. The communications were clear, we knew when things were going to be done and received timely updates on the schedule and any challenges.”

Pam R.

“We knew what was happening on the project at all times, Chad was excellent about keeping us informed and reminding us of what was next, who would be out and what the upcoming items were on the schedule. The work was well done, done in a timely manner, communication was clear, and the costs were within the agreed budget. We have already started recommending Chad to others. Additionally, we have some more work coming up and we are hoping that he will be available.”
