My experience with this company has been extremely negative and unprofessional. The contract signed specified a particular roofing system, but non-conforming materials were used instead of the materials required by our agreement. After being comfronted of using nonconforming materials they continued to assured that it was the materials specified in contract until we filled a claim with the bond company. Then they admitted to using non conforming materials. After the roofing work was performed, my home developed a leak that had not existed before the project, resulting in damage to the interior of my home. What should have been a straightforward roofing project turned into an ongoing dispute. Despite the leak and resulting interior damage, the company has refused to accept responsibility for the interior damages or pay for the repairs caused by the leaking roof. Since raising these concerns, it has been a nightmare trying to get the company to correct the work. Rather than providing the documentation I requested to verify that qualified personnel would perform a contract-compliant repair, I have received repeated generic responses that fail to address my concerns or provide the information needed to move forward. As a homeowner, I expected the work to be completed according to the contract and for any problems to be addressed promptly and professionally. Instead, I have been forced to spend months pursuing a resolution. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this company. If you hire them, verify that the materials being installed match your contract, document every stage of the project, and get everything in writing. read more

This company was a pleasure working with. Emmanuel and Ricardo helped renovate my mother's restroom. They were always on time and had great communication.

Look forward to doing more business with them in the future! read more

I had a great experience working with American Pride Builders, and I want to specifically shout out Emmanuel, the owner, for his professionalism and attention to detail. We had water intrusion and rotten wood around a large portrait window, along with stucco damage that needed repair. Emmanuel came out for a free consultation and immediately identified where the water was coming in from. Emmanuel's team not only handled that portrait window flawlessly, but they also replaced two windowsills entirely, re-sealed all my other windows which were not properly installed at first, and sanded, primed, and painted all the other sills around the house. The quality of work was excellent. His crew was professional, respectful, and went above and beyond in fixing the issues on the exterior of my home. It's rare to find a contractor in LA who is this reliable and takes such pride in their work. I would absolutely use them again and am genuinely relieved to have found a contractor I can trust. Highly recommended! Check out the before and after photos! read more

We have used American Pride builders many times over the past 10 years. We have had them do complete home remodels and inside and outside house painting. We have been very pleased with their work.

What began as a kitchen remodel became a total house makeover. After my experience with Emmanual and the crew of American Pride Home Builders, i would not hesitate to call on them again. When I decide to build our ADU, they will be the only number I will call. They gained and then qualified my trust wholeheartedly. We began with a planned kitchen remodel, fully aware that our 1952 home would need additional hidden repairs. Opening the walls, we found cloth wrapped wiring as well as an extension cord behind the wall feeding power to our washer and dryer. each step led us to additional needed repairs which, in the end, included a low amp breaker box, whole house rewiring, dry rotten windows and roof structure, termite damage in our bathroom and garage, blown in attic insulation, cracks in our foundation, and interior door issues. We also had our roof replaced, our bathroom remodeled, our floors completely recovered throughout, Interior and exterior painted and even had our front porch torn out and reconfigured and designed. Some of these additions to the remodel were ideas that we had during construction aside from the necessary obstacles we needed to address before we could continue forward. I mention all of the changes because, at each stage, Emmanuel sat us down and discussed the options we faced, the additions to cost, and the level of importance. He arranged all of the inspector visits, so that the whole job was fully permitted and recorded with the city and county. Emmanuel went with us to pick out everything for the kitchen (cabinets, tile, countertops, fixtures, and appliances. He kept us fully aware of all the costs in our choices. He comforted us through all of the surprises, often acting as more of a counselor that a contractor. American Pride Builders had a crew working at our home for 5 to 6 days a week, unless we were waiting for an inspection. Even then, they always had something else to work on. We became very close. They were extremely polite and accommodating through the whole project. Let me add that we remained in the house the entire time of the whole project, including the full bathroom remodel portion. Thank you, Home Depot restrooms!! All of the crew and subcontractors were courteous, polite, and cleaned up the work areas at the end of every day's work. The original estimate for the kitchen alone was 3 to 4 months. With all of the additional work we had done, the total project went 6 months. I was very pleased with that timeline. I was there the whole time and lived through the project with them. American Pride Builders is a family-based organization that understands the pain and insanity that goes with home remodel projects. They kept me from losing my mind. With kindness, patience, consideration, and trust, they have won this skeptic over for life. read more

Never having hired a general contractor before, I made a huge mistake and went with a company that did every wrong thing that you see on HGTV. Fortunately Emmanuel Nila and American Pride Builders came to our rescue. We were doing a complete redo of all the common areas (plus one bathroom), in our ranch style home in Fullerton, and we couldn't afford to move out for the several months it took. American Pride was very respectful and professional. Every part of the house that was being worked on was isolated with plastic barriers; very little, if any, dust migrated to our part of the house. Every employee and sub contractor's work was performed at a craftsman's level. The tile work is incredible, as is everything else, but the grout-lines are uniform width and perfectly straight (it appeals to my "slight" OCD personality). Emmanuel and American Pride restored my faith in the construction trades; everyone very easy to work with and polite & professional without fail. That was 7 years ago and we've recently moved to San Diego county, and I'm currently talking to American Pride to do some work at our new house. read more

After much research and comparing multiple contractors, we decided to work with American Pride Builders. They offered the most reasonable pricing and made us feel comfortable from the start, answering all our questions. We hired them to build an ADU on our property, and they guided us through every detail of the process, which was especially helpful since this was our first construction project. Their team was professional, friendly, and maintained a clean work environment. Throughout the process, they ensured we were satisfied and addressed any concerns in a quick manner. Eric is very detailed and takes pride in his work. He always made sure that all the work that was done on our ADU was done correctly . If something didn't meet our expectations, they worked with us to make it right. Our ADU final result exceeded our expectations. It was high quality work. And even once completed, they were still checking in to make sure we were content. Will definitely be hiring them again for future home projects read more

The owner Emmanuel, his brother and crew were truly exceptional. From their professionalism, construction knowledge to detail and pride in their work. We have worked with many different contractors throughout 20 years, but there have never been any who would go out of the way to be sure we were happy with progress of project and workmanship. We had two exterior projects which were complicated, involved and required expertise. They did the first project and then we hired them later for the second big project. I will be having them out again for our next project. Highly recommend. read more

We a very thankful with Emmanuel and his team from American Pride. During our consultation, Emmanuel was very attentive to our concerns, needs and budget. He made sure that the major repairs our new home needed would be taken care of, always keeping in mind our budget. My family and I stayed in our home during the remodel; we have no regrets. Emmanuel's team were very considerate, polite and professional. They also made sure our home was safe for our 4 and 6 year old. They made sure that we were kept in the loop during the process of our remodel and were always attentive if we had any questions or concerns during the process. We hope to continue working with them in the near future for the completion of our home remodel. We highly recommend them; they are professional and the quality of work is exceptional. read more

American Pride Builders - Carrara Marble on Floor, Counter, and Mosaic Backsplash. Subway wall tile. - General Contractors Near Me - South Gate, California

Asked him if he can install 2 custom sliding barn doors . One a standard size door with a door knob , the second door if he can make 8 feet tall. He said it's better we get the parts I said I don't want to get the wrong measurements I think it's better you get the parts . He said ok sure but we would have to go to the home to get measurements and we charge a $150 dollar consultation fee. I said sure that's fine, come over get measurements and with those measurements get me a quote . His workers came to get measurements , I gave them the $150 consultation fee, and the owner Carlos never gave me a quote . I followed up with him 4-5 times over 3 weeks and he kept saying he was out of town . Carlos took my $150 consultation fee and never provided any estimate for the job in my home even though I paid for that . They pretty much robbed me read more

After all of the work that was done to our home we were extremely happy. My wife and I decided to sell our home that we paid Emanual 100k for in renovations. Before listing our home we wanted him and his crew to come back and fix the epoxy in the garage floor that had started to bubble and flake. They came and drilled a hole in the middle of our garage floor down to the dirt below the slab. They said it was a moisture issue. Long story short, we ended up fixing it ourselves and sold our home. Emanual and his crew were unresponsive to our calls and text messages. We told him we needed the garage fixed because we were selling the house and moving. He had ample time (2 months) to address the issue but chose not to. He said he was out of state in Oregon doing work up there and would just give excuse after excuse and eventually stopped responding. It's in the past now and we moved on, but future customers of his should be aware of how he treats them after he's already got payment. read more

Emmanuel's crew completed work for me on two separate occasions. Both were home exterior paint projects, which included repairing and replacing damaged wood on windows, doors and on one of the homes, patio cover repair. They were very polite, respectful and I appreciated how they cleaned up at the end of each day. They were meticulous at prepping for each phase of the project, ensuring no shortcuts were taken. Eddie does great work and repaired damaged wood to make them look new again. His attention to detail is excellent! We are happy with the finished product and will hire them again for future projects. read more
