My company is getting defamatory reviews as this company has almost the same name as ours (We are American Eagle Construction Inc) and their clients are posting negative reviews to our page instead of theirs. I have been contacted by 3 customers trying to reach Paul Gallardo's (Carl Bailey also an associate) company, American Eagle Contracting License number 613620. I encourage anyone who is having issues to call the CSLB, they will help resolve your issues. It's unfortunate that their business practices are hurting our company. We have no affiliation with this company or any of their employees. read more

Carl and Paul are lazy and stupid crooks. A remodel they said would take 30-45 days was still not finished at 9 months when we said stop coming after so many broken promises, endless excuses, missed deadlines, code violations and no show staff. Both of them avoid your calls unless they want your money and (when not blaming each other) yell at you once you do get a hold of them. Avoid these two clowns at all cost! read more

Carl went over and above to find me the right sink, my new counters are beautiful and the sink is better than the one I thought I wanted, price for EVERYTHING, very reasonable, installation crew very polite, even came back to adjust the dishwasher, Very pleased read more

BEWARE!!!! BEWARE!!! BEWARE!!! Company is a scam. They take your money and will fight you to keep it. We meet Paul at Murrieta swap meet and made an appointment for a quote to remodel our kitchen. He came and gave us a good deal and we gave our deposit. He said that they would not be able to start till 4-6 weeks. Also we talked over the materials we would like but he said he would show us the materials later when they would soon start on our kitchen. We did not finalize on anything. Paul said anything that was needed or the material we wanted, we would need to approve first before any material would be bought and any work would start. We would be hands on to everything and work cannot start without our permission. We asked for a website, pictures. They do not have a website because of all the bad reviews they probably would get. They have been a company since 1991. No official office, no recent pictures. They have no pictures because they never get their work done (per reviews). Then we decided that we could not financially start the project and went to swap meet a week later to cancel. He said that legally it would take 10 days for us to get the refund back. We sent him a text and an email about the refund and cancellation of our contract. He said that they already started and that he bought the materials so we would not get a full refund back. We told him that we did not agree or approve on the material and that would should not get charged for the materials he bought. We are still waiting for our deposit back. Read the reviews first, do a background check, if it sounds too good to be true it probably is. They are supposed to be licensed but have nothing to back up their work. We will keep fighting till we get our money back. Do not work with this company because they will take your money and run. read more

Everything started out fine and then the workers stopped coming. I have a 3/4 finished kitchen and a 1/2 finished bathroom. I am quite disappointed. I have called Carl many times and he does not answer my calls. Then he promises something but does not deliver. Sad, very sad. read more

The rices can't be beat but the timeframe in which it's done isn't great. So far almost 1 year to complete my job and my contract was for 2 months... read more

This is the worst company to do business with. They come across as friendly and only willing to take of you and your needs. This happened almost 2 years ago. Covid, and the played this to the hilt. Long story short, they take deposits and scheduled payments. Before the job is done and during there are problems after problems. They are snakes in the grass. This was and is the outcome . Broken shelving in pantry due to cheap material. Missing cabinet doors and Drawer. Shorten countertop and I'll constructed granite countertops. Pics tell a better story. read more

American Eagle - San Jacinto After 8 months of putting up with poor workmanship, endless delays, unanswered phone calls, ignored text, we decided to terminate American Eagle. This kitchen remodel was supposed to take 30-45 days at the most to complete. Their "Technicians " in my opinion were unskilled. Our gas line was broken by their workers, the pipe to the sink was broken by their workers, cabinets were not measured correctly and had to be re-made. All but $1,000 was paid to them in the first three months of working on our kitchen. Once they got most of the money, they essentially stopped working. Weeks went by with nothing being done. I would have to call and text everyday to find out if or when they would be coming back to do some work. When they did come to work they would only work a couple of hours and then not show up again for weeks. I have had to hire another contractor to finish my kitchen. My advise is to stay away from this company at all cost. I regret ever doing business with Americon Eagle-San Jacinto. read more

If I could give them a minus, I would. The salesman (Carl) came out in January 2022 and gave us a free estimate of what it would cost. We wanted a new sliding glass door and some other minor work. We interviewed 3 other contractors. We ended up choosing American Eagle Contracting out of San Jacinto. The work was estimated to start in 2-4 weeks. After 4 weeks and no communication from American Eagle Contracting, I called them. I'm going to make this long story short and just give the basics. The took money for half of the order and a down payment and never started the work. Promised to start the work and never showed up or called, this happened twice. I cancelled the contract in writing and asked for the money back that was in March 2022. Paul, the owner said that he would refund the money. It is now June 2022 and I do not have my money back. I have contacted the BBB and they are communicating with the owner Paul and me. Paul has indicated to the BBB that he would refund the money in 10 working days, which will be June 22, 2022. If by some miracle, Paul does refund my money by June 22, 2022, I will up date the comment. But I don't think that I will ever see any of that money again. They just took it and didn't do any work. And a quick search on BBB and Nextdoor will show other unhappy customers in this area. I should have researched them before I hired them. Don't make the same mistake that I did. read more

Paul Gallardo is the licensee of American Eagle, San Jacinto, LISC # 613620. Paul started business in 1991, with Carl Bailey, and apparently Carl had previously let his license expire, and then it was revoked after expiration in 1990, before starting to work with Paul, as his contracting manager. American Eagle's license was revoked after 4 years (1995), and apparently they did not start business again until 2003-2004. Suspended again in about 2008-2010, they apparently did not go back to business until 2016-2017, and since 2019, have had numerous complaints. Revocation 1995, was due to fraud, and abandonment of projects, working with another with a disciplined license (Carl Baily), and other complaints. Suspension, was due to abandonment of projects and other complaints. Carl worked for KR Miller in San Jacinto, but after many complaints of abandoned projects, Carl was "let go", for "ethical reasons". After paying $13,000 for a kitchen remodel in Riverside, we have an abandoned kitchen project and may have to pay twice for the same work that we already paid for, just to get a workable kitchen with drawers, cabinet doors, appliances installed, and trash hauled away. read more

It has been almost 9 months since I signed a contract with Karl Bailey from American eagle. I paid $5,000, 1/2 of total cost of remodel on my kitchen Wich was to be done within 45 days of signing contract. To date , they have been here a total of 6 days and this is what they have done this far , counter top with no backsplash which he said was impossible, cabinets with no doors and not installed properly , just nailed to wall , drawers that do not fit AND they broke my plumbing when they tried to install new faucet so I have been without running water in my kitchen except of course the water that's running on floor ruining my floor and underneath the house. I have called him numerous times to no avail except a few promises to show up. He came recommended I just don't know what for. I'm out of options and don't know where to go from here. I am on limited income made a loan for kitchen and I'm out of money out of kitchen shame on him read more

I hired American Eagle Contracting of San Jacinto, California in March, 2021 for a kitchen remodel project at our Palm Desert, CA home. Their work began on June 1st and was to be completed on July 15, 2021 (per our executed contract). Unfortunately, we had to be away during the summer for my husband to have needed surgeries in Oregon. During the summer, I experienced much difficulty getting in touch with the project salesperson/supervisor. The owner of American Eagle, Paul Gallardo, has apparently adopted an "AWOL" posture inasmuch as he consistently ignored my attempted project inquiries. When I did make contact with the American Eagle salesperson/supervisor, he provided an abundance of excuses (supply chain delays, Covid-19, workers not showing up, etc.) and he never once supplied project photos - even as I consistently requested that he do so. When he asked for project payments, however, he was quick to supply rosy estimates of final completion - while also misrepresenting advancements made on project tasks. Approximately two weeks prior to our return home on October 20, 2021, our next-door neighbor entered our home and recorded videos of our kitchen clearly revealing that, in fact, only about 25% of the project was completed - and there remained a mountain of construction debris in our courtyard. When I finally was able to raise this situation on a call with the project supervisor, it became obvious to me that he had not visited our site during the entire summer - and I had already paid his firm 86% of their quotation for a finished job! When we returned home, three-and-one-half months beyond the contract's specified completion date, our kitchen was a full-blown disaster. Completely unusable. This led to a number of stern phone calls to the supervisor on behalf of myself and my husband garnering commitments to get materials and workmen on site immediately. However, when American Eagle workers and project materials finally arrived, we discovered they were ignoring clearly drawn, specified and agreed-upon dimensions (I am a professional designer, and my drawings and specifications are - and were, un-ambiguous). The main quartz countertop delivered lacked several inches of depth and had to be removed and re-fabricated. Kitchen pantry cabinets were twice delivered and installed - and twice removed due to failure to match the specified configuration and dimensions. The floating shelves installed were only 9 inches deep and should have been 12 inches deep. When we pleaded for American Eagle to, at least, install our sink, faucet, disposal and dishwasher - to provide a FUNCTIONAL kitchen - they dispatched a young man who spent most of a whole day attempting to complete the required tasks. When, during the following morning, my husband first turned on the installed faucet - he heard a loud "bang" as an object dropped to the bottom of the cabinet under the sink, and water began gushing out to flood the cabinet and kitchen floor. This was the final straw. We have now been forced to bring in a new contractor (which, will in all likelihood, significantly escalate the project cost). Yet, they were able to immediately correct American Eagle's faucet installation errors - and finally provide a FUNCTIONAL kitchen. We have demanded a calibrated refund from American Eagle Contracting. read more
