Frank was great to work with. He responded quickly, listened well to my needs and delivered exactly what I requested. Besides replacing the cracked concrete patio, he identified and fixed a chronic drainage problem. The quality of work was excellent and he kept me informed of progress at all times. I highly recommend this firm! read more

This review is long overdue! Frank helped us with our backyard paver project earlier this year. Pricing was great so we went with them. Frank was there daily to check on the project, which allowed us to discuss any details/changes etc. The crew arrived on time every morning and was very organized. Never left the site a mess. If there was one critique, it would be that they could improve on detail work, but overall, we would recommend them! Thank you, Frank and team! read more

Our summer project in Los Gatos encompassed a complete re-do of both the front and backyards, including new landings, walkways, retaining and sitting walls, patio, pergola and barbecue installation, gate and all new plantings. Frank refined a landscape design that needed tweaking into a design that perfectly suited our vision and carefully crafted a proposal that clearly spelled out all the work included in the price tag. Unlike other firms that pushed for design elements that bolstered the price, Frank always made suggestions that were tasteful yet cost effective. For example, using a natural boxwood barrier rather than installing a cable railing. Thus, the overall price offered great value for the extensive amount of work involved. He was onsite daily to inspect the progress, very responsive to our concerns, and made every effort to keep additional change order costs to a minimum. AMS is unique since Frank's team of workers have been with him for over 20 years and are skilled in every trade area. The same staff completed all the demolition, grading, drainage, electrical, masonry and landscaping work, so there was no dealing with different sub-contractors. Distinct to our project was a curved paver walkway with bluestone capped steps that led to our front door. Because of the curved pathway, the AMS team had to painstakingly cut each paver to fit this unusual pathway and it was only because of their skilled craftmanship that the end result was beautiful. This extra care added a slight delay to the project timeline, but most of the delay was because of additional work that popped up due to unforeseen issues like underground water seepage in the backyard or other unplanned homeowner desires. Generally, AMS still completed the project very close to the time frame that Frank projected. After the project was complete, Frank followed up to ensure everything was to our satisfaction. His customer service and professionalism were beyond reproach and we are already considering him for our next painting project. We also recommend AMS for your next project too. read more

Frank is by far one of the best contractor we hired. Not only he is here almost everyday to oversee the progress on a small project. He also gave me constructive feedbacks and his crew is here on time everyday with organized step by step on schedule progresses. Finished the project on time and his work is excellent. Will definitely hire him again in the future. read more

Frank came in with a bid to do our "small" job at a relatively reasonable (for the South Bay!) cost. He stayed almost perfectly on budget, and completed the agreed-upon work. Things were late, but some of it was out of his control, and these things always take longer than expected. The crew showed up every single day they said they would. They had the garage door opener, and the garage is filled with various goodies. They are honest people. The fact that AMS was almost perfectly on budget (within a few %) is excellent. Frank is a trustworthy guy. That's what you want in a contractor. Frank did varied work, quite an impressive variety: - Custom steel arbors and gates, electric outdoor heaters - Neighbor fence with new moorings - Hardscaping (travertine, decomposed granite) and landscaping - Irrigation and outdoor lighting - Concrete walls with stucco, structures with stucco, outdoor fireplace - Outdoor kitchen with custom countertops and high-end appliances - In-law cottage with bathroom and shower on a new foundation - In-floor radiant electric heating, split-HVAC system - Electrical service upgrade and EV charging wiring - New sewer, water, gas, and electrical runs throughout property If I have anything negative to say, it would be that Frank's guys are not great at the fine details. There's not much craftsmanship here. Doors needed adjustment, plumbing fixtures not done quite right. But, they got it done on a budget and were will to at least try to fix things. So, I am impressed and I think AMS deserves 5 stars for the work they did on our place. It's truly transformed our property and I could have paid 50% more with other contractors. I would ask Frank to do another job for me in the future, which is saying a lot. I will update this review based on any warranty work, as Frank has agreed to finish some final details and make sure his installations stay up and running. read more

We hired Frank to remodel our kitchen. Very outdated Tiles and Floors dating back to 2011 needed to be replaced with Granite and all new appliances needed to be installed. What stood out in Frank's work was his attention to detail and his work always showed Sturdiness and Finish that made every area of our kitchen flaunt his work. He worked on our house "as if he was working on his house" accompanied us to stores to buy what meld beautifully in our kitchen. His eye for making a space come alive with a clean and a flowing look is an uncanny trait in all his work. This immaculate work led us to call upon him for remodel of our Bathroom and Update our Breezeway into a living area we not only Flaunt BUT heavily use for entertainment. He cleans (via his Crew) up post projects and thoroughly owns his work. read more

Asked for quote for a retaining wall. Hung up on me saying he doesn't do insurance. Bad customer service

In the end, I was more than satisfied with AMS's work. They were very timely, offered great designs and architecture, and the end result displayed excellent workmanship. The deck itself was very aesthetically pleasing, while serving its intended purposes. Everything was installed without any damage or trouble with the electricity or gas lines. The yard itself was also done very nicely. They created a landscape that would be more water-conservative in its drip irrigation system, as well as drought-resistant plants and well-cut flagstones that fit the locale quite well. read more

We had a great experience with Frank and AMS Construction. We needed a section of a retaining wall replaced and got several estimates. Frank was the only one who really took the time to thoughtfully consider the job and provide sketches that resolved our concerns. His estimate was clear, his pricing was competitive and his communication was excellent throughout. Once onsite, his crew did very good work and were on time and on budget. Neighbors even commented on the work crew's professionalism and the quality of their work. Frank was onsite most days to check in on the work and check in with us about any questions. In the end we were very pleased with how the project came out, and would happily work with Frank again should another project come up. read more

We live in a mountainous area. It rained too much last spring, and the earth and rocks on the slopes slipped. We had to build a retaining wall and reinforce the creek last November. Frank is very knowledgeable and efficient. He gave many good suggestions during the first interview. A detailed estimate was given within one week thereafter. The entire project was completed one day earlier than estimated. His workers were disciplined and he checked the progress himself every day. After almost four months of rainy season, we are satisfied with his work. There is no more water accumulation and soil erosion on the hillside. His price was very competitive among five quotes we got. I don't hesitate to give him my best recommendation. read more

When our church pastor retired and moved out of the parsonage (church owned house), ww took this opportunity to remodel this 30+ year old house. I found AMS through Yelp to get a quote. Frank was very professional and you can tell immediately he had a lot of experience. Frank was very accommodating to all our requests (our=the church board members) and working with our church budget and timeline. Frank completely transformed the house. He communicated very well every step of the way. And when a power outage caused one of the bedroom lights to fail, he came back to fix the problem. There were a few little things here and there that also needed fixing and he always came out to fix it, no problem, and guaranteed to always come back if we find anything else. Our church is very happy with his work and our new pastor is excited to move in. read more

Frank and his team did an en excellent job on our backyard. Previously, our backyard had flagstone, a few granite boulders, and stepping stones spread out among the remaining dirt area. We decided to have Frank and his team demo the entire backyard and install pavers so there would be more useable area. Frank came and measured the area and let me know he would also be able to move our electrical boxes, install a new irrigation system, and fix our fence. I thought I would need to hire others, but since he is a general contractor, he was able to do it all. His price was extremely competitive given all of the work he was going to complete. He estimated it would take four weeks to complete the job, which was reasonable given all of the work he was going to complete. We left on vacation during the middle of the work, and Frank and his team continued working diligently while we were away. He actually ended up finishing everything before the four weeks were up. He is extremely responsive to any questions or requests and has great attention to detail. I am always hesitant to hire someone that is going to be completing work that I will be using for years to come, but I would gladly hire Frank and his team again. Highly recommended! read more

We were looking for contractors to do some landscaping work(pavers and artificial grass) at our small backyard (800-1000 sqft). That's when we found Frank. He was amazing to work with. Upfront with cost estimates which was reasonable and quick turn around time. Frank explained every bit patiently and didn't try to sell anything that was unnecessary. He and his team completed the work on time and as per plan. There were absolute pleasure to work with. We were so happy with the outcome and everyone who saw the backyard appreciated the work. I would definitely recommend Frank and his team for someone who is looking for best value for their money. read more

Frank and his team helped us to replace an old deck with pavers and built an pergola. Unlike most of other contractors who only spent 10 mins giving a quote, Frank did thorough thinking and gave us some very good suggestion. He communicated with us timely about the planning and progress. The price is also very reasonable compared to other quotes we received. We are very happy about the completed project. read more

Frank Fazlollahi is one of the best, A few years ago, he did my backyard. He started with just a dirt pad in a 22 X 65 yard. He didnt need formal plans, infact he preferred to work free hand where possible. Our retaining wall and electrical was already in place, so he didnt have to deal with that. My wife was able to tell him what her vision was and he nailed it. He said the crew would be at my house, first day, a Monday at 8AM. Wrong. It was 7:50AM !!!! The crew was fantastic. They were so meticulous about the pavers, that they cut them to within 1/8 inch, first time, each time. No waste. He had a major job that came up and asked us for permission to work on a Sat-Sunday to complete the work. Of course I agreed. We got the yard sooner. He was so good, I hired him recently to do my master bath. This yard was a tad over 2 years ago and it still looks as good as the day it was completed. read more

I purchased a swim spa over the summer since I wanted something my kids could enjoy all year around especially since we don't feel safe going out due to COVID. I hired Frank and his company to build a hole where our 18ft long swim spa would fit in. I would have a deck around it and a door to open in case we need to get to the motor. Also my electrical needed to be upgraded to run the swim spa. Frank was very nice, he broke down the work, and his guys did all the digging by hand since I couldn't get a tractor back there. They were quick, clean, diligent, and very professional. When the time came to talk to the crane company Frank wanted to be there. The day of the spa delivery Frank was here to ensure the spa was placed correctly and in the right direction. Frank is an honest person and always good about checking in. Before I chooses to go with him, he provided me with great information and he was reasonable in his price. Going forward I only want to work with him and his crew. They are awesome and will do a great job! Thank Frank and your team for the work you did! read more

It's been a truly great experience working with Frank and his team! We needed to get our backyard renovated fairly quickly and for a reasonable price and he absolutely delivered. We are truly impressed with his professionalism, attention to detail, reasonable pricing, and quality of work. We started off with getting the backyard renovated, but based on discussions decided to also include the front yard and really happy we did. We needed to fix the concrete on the sidewalk and he was able to add that on to our project scope while also still finishing on time. I absolutely would recommend Frank for any renovation projects in heartbeat. read more

Someone called Frank came to our property within a day of me contacting (so that was good). I told him the general idea of what we wanted (soil compacting and concrete work for a sports court with hardscape) along with hardscape, all totaling around 3000 sft. I greeted him when he came to our property and then proceeded to show him the area. Immediately he says that it is going to be a huge amount of work due to grading and compacting needs and I told him okay and then tried to show him the area. But he stopped again and asked me what my budget is and then says often he goes to big homes on a hill, puts a quote, and then ppl don't proceed, and it is a waste of his time. He told me it would be at least 175K. I told him okay. I understand. Can we now see the property area? Then, he immediately says that he doesn't think it would be a good use of his time. I was shocked. I felt terribly insulted. Despite seeing a house that is clearly in an upscale neighborhood (~2.5 million) and we spent a lot of money in other parts of our property, he jumped to the conclusion that my husband and I can't afford the project. I was so shocked that I asked him then what makes him think we can't afford it (this all happens in the first 3 minutes of his convo by the way). Then, obviously I told him I find it strange that he doesn't even want to see what we want to get done and then he rudely says to me he is not interested. I told him that I wasn't either. I am not sure if it was a racial bias or what. I have never seen a contractor or estimator so full of himself that they insult the intelligence of the homeowner. As a homeowner, once I heard his rough estimate, I knew it was in the ballpark and didn't go OMG, that's too much. I was professional and said okay, let's see the area so I can get a detailed quote. But he dug his heels and left. In the 20+ years I have lived jn America, I have never felt so insulted. . If a job is big, the estimator obviously should say it is a big job, at a minimum it would be this much, and if you are interested, I can still go through some rough idea of what it will take. Spend at least 10 mins. This guy Frank wouldn't even spend 1 min after he saw the grading and compacting needs. As he was leaving, since he had such a condescending attitude, I told him we got a bid for 270K but I wasn't about to disclose that to him in the 2 mins he was with me without even looking at the job, and --yes, despite what he thought looking at me, we could have afforded AMS. He just lost a huge contract opportunity. I'm not sure who is the owner of AMS construction. May be it is this guy Frank or someone else. Good luck to you... I would rather take my business to a company that treats a potential customer with respect. ** Edited to reply to Frank's untruthful comment: I was very interested and never said I was not interested in the explanation. Why does he think a homeowner would reach out to AMS if they didn't have a significant/complicated project?? Of course, I knew it needed compacting and grading! I absolutely heard him patiently as he said every 12 inch layer needs to watered and compacted etc. until the entire height is done. I am an engineer myself. Frank explained. I listened and said I understand. I then tried to show him the property area. Immediately he asked what's my budget and refused to go down the steps to see the area. As you can see from his comment, there is no iota of apologizing to a potential customer of a possible misunderstanding either due to cultural differences. I am so glad I never need to deal with someone so pretentious. As for the base rock comment he alludes to, I said that in the context of the concrete pad that would be built for our sports court. The man had absolutely zero interest in knowing our needs of what we want to get built; somehow he thinks he will only give estimates if the homeowner will disclose their budget before his bid. Yeah, right! Reading all the great reviews here and large projects on their website, I had reached out to them. Reading his untruthful reply comment only cements what I thought of his attitude. **Update: I just finalized another construction company whose owner had the decency and maturity to listen to our ideas for the space, spent 30 mins taking measurements, looked at our sketches, and gave a detailed estimate after two hours. Now, that's what a professional first-meet should be like, not this AMS Frank's attitude if "I'll judge the homeowner whether they are worth my time!" read more

It was a pleasure to work with Frank on our project to replace our concrete driveway and front patio with interlocking pavers. We also replaced the lawn in our front and backyards with new sod and a new drip irrigation system. He was reliable, responsive, reasonable and stayed on schedule. His crew was prompt, efficient and kept the work areas clean. Frank understood our plan, and made suggestions to improve the project, such as adding landscaping lighting and an irrigation system that was programmable remotely. We were satisfied with his work. Our neighbors also engaged his services. read more

After months of searching for the right contractor to redo my backyard, a lot of hardscape, French drains, and more, I met and hired Frank and AMS Construction. Frank is licensed in both general contracting and landscape, knows what he is talking about and walks his talk. From the first meeting until the last day, Frank and his crew were communicative, timely, and simply did great work, making our backyard upgrade complete! We live on a hill which has its own challenges. But I could not be happier with the way things turned out. Throughout the process he checked in daily, was respectful, always cleaning up at the end of each day, had some creative solutions and was honest with pricing and stuck to what he said. As a lawyer, this was important for me to have a proper contract, proper licensing and insurance etc. Frank did just that. His time estimation from start date to end date was spot on and at the end of the project, our family was so happy with the outcome. When it's time to do the front yard I will not hesitate to call Frank and AMS Construction again. Highly recommend! read more

Frank and his team did my concrete walkway a couple of weeks ago. The experience of working with them was great! Response time for my email was no more than an hour, and Frank was able to come over the next day for an estimate. Frank immediately understood what I was looking for and gave me a very reasonable proposal. Since the job was small they were able to fit it in the next week. The work process was painless, with the team being very nice, quick and clean. Before I knew it everything was done and I now have a beautiful new concrete walkway! Thank you! read more

Frank is wonderful to work with. He will work with you to accommodate your budget and timeframe. About 5 years ago he landscaped my backyard and installed interlocking pavers.

I have referred him to friends and they were also happy to work with him. I know he is someone I can depend on to help me on future projects. read more

I referred Frank to all of my neighbors and he has exceeded their expectations as well. I highly recommend Frank! Trust me, you won't be disappointed! read more
