    Cesar R.

    We paid this company around $15,000 to waterproof a converted garage in Sherman Oaks that we were using for storage. Sure enough, the waterproofing failed. Today I called to inquire about the warranty. The woman I spoke with said there was no warranty. I asked if they would at least offer some discount on remediation, based on the fact that we paid so much money for the prior work. She advised that they would have to bill us $400 to come inspect the property to give us a quote. I became frustrated and told her what she could do with her offer. One of the owners called me back immediately and informed me that I wouldn't dare speak to him that way in person because of the physical harm he could do to me. I informed him that if he came over, I'd be happy to say those things to him in person. At which point he assured me that he would injure me given that I was a "little b!+c#." He continued to call me any number of names, made threats and said he didn't want to hear anything else from me and that I better "check myself before I wreck myself." I strongly feel that no one should work with this company, not just because of the poor quality of their work and their inflated prices, but because it appears that if there is ever a disagreement about the work, and you bring it to their attention, you may actually put yourself in physical danger by at least one of the owners of the company. I've included some photos in case anyone is wondering what their $15,000 waterproofing looks like. Buyer beware...! In response to Cameron's response. My wife's name was on the invoice. And there's no way I'm going to allow these guys to talk to my wife that way. She was in the room with me when I spoke with them. These guys are awful, they are threatening my personal safety and now they are completely denying what they did. I truly hope anyone out there exercises caution when dealing with them. I can't believe they are alleging deniability based on the fact that my name was not on the invoice. Well, my money went into their pockets, regardless of whose name is on the invoice. So how about you guys give me my money back? Way to man up, bro. Additionally, the logo and trademark on my paid invoice are identical to the logo and trademark on their website. I'd also like to add that I have a law degree. It's completely absurd to suggest that I'm "confused" about the company I've been dealing with. I assure you, I'm not. Lastly, it's important to note that the owner isn't denying that the $15,000 was paid, or that the waterproofing failed, or that the co-owner I spoke with threatened me with physical harm. He's merely stating that he "doesn't show anyone with my name in his records for the last 5 years." So, does he show my name as of 5 years and 1 month ago? I think the owner is confused; he seems not to realize that facts are true, no matter how much equivocating the owner tries to do. This guy is clearly lying. You've been warned...

I first reached out to Jaime and Antonio after several failed attempts with other "specialists" to solve the flooding and remediate the damage. They immediately came to the house and began to assess the problems, beginning with a plan to isolate the source(s) of the flooding. This initial step involved tarping the house and waterproofing the exterior walls. As the rains continued, we discovered that the house continued to flood notwithstanding the initial preventative steps. This sounds bad (and it was), but the only reason we were able to identify the source of the flooding was because of the preventative work done by Jaime and Antonio and their on-site inspections of my home during and after each rainstorm. Throughout this time, Jaime and Antonio stayed in close communication with me via phone and text, and were immediately responsive each time an issue arose (which was often). The flooding issues ultimately proved exceptionally challenging, and would require coordination over many months among American Heritage, the Los Angeles Dep't of Water & Power, my electricians, and my general contractor. As part of the solution, American Heritage needed to trench two sides of my house, install a French drain on one side of the house, install a separate drain on another side of the house, build up and waterproof the existing foundation, and remediate the flooded rooms (which included mold remediation). Throughout this process, Jaime and Antonio clearly explained the scope of each problem and offered proposed solutions, and welcomed my on-site inspections and questions at every stage of the remediation/construction. After their work was completed, Antonio and Jaime continued to check-in prior to and after subsequent rainstorms to ensure they had solved the flooding problems. This included multiple visits (which they did not charge me for) to ensure everything stayed dry. The value I received from their service was worth every dollar. House flooding is one of the more stressful and disruptive events that can happen in life. I hope it never happens to you. If it does, call American Heritage. You'll be glad you did. You will want them on your team.

    We hired American Heritage Environmental for water intrusion repairs, window replacement, and…read moreexterior weatherproofing. We made it clear our priority was getting back into our bedrooms quickly due to mold remediation, but the project took about a month, leaving our family of five in the living room. At times, the work felt rushed more of a "get in and get out" approach than careful, detailed workmanship. The window installation had to be redone due to damaged frames, and we had to ask multiple times to get it sitting flush. Interior caulking around the windows had visible excess material and was not properly tooled, and still appears uneven after touch-ups. I didn't notice this until after the final walk through, but on one window, the interior corner seems to have a hole in it or uneven seal after the 2nd install. On the exterior, there are areas with bubbling and "alligatoring," along with sections that were not properly blended to match the surrounding texture. One area was initially painted over despite bubbling until we pointed it out. Paint was also left on nearby fixtures, including our exterior camera. We also experienced a pinhole leak in a copper line in the same work area shortly after completion. While it was eventually fixed, there was initial pushback. We were billed for hauling and cleanup, but still ended up handling some debris ourselves. A partial adjustment was made after raising the issue. To their credit, they did return to address some items. However, the process required ongoing oversight, and we had to repeatedly point out issues to get them corrected. Overall, the job was completed, but the workmanship and experience did not meet expectations for the price.
