I hired Sam to complete a high end fit out of a new office location in Freehold, NJ. As a real estate lender operating in 46 states, I interact with contractors and developers on a daily basis. Many own clients include contactors and developers with varying degrees of experience and skill across the country, most of whom specialize in small balance residential and commercial projects. Without question, Sam's rare combination of attention to detail, professionalism, taste, and work ethic places him amongst the top 1% of all contractors I have encountered. It goes without saying that Sam delivered a beautiful space. My reasons for speaking so highly of Sam, however, are grounded in the quality with which he executes the behind-the-scenes duties that ultimately determine whether or not a project will achieve the desired outcome. First, the attention to detail exhibited by Sam and his team for the duration of the project is exceptional. This is extremely important from the standpoint of a client for at least three reasons: (1) producing a beautiful space requires attention to every component, whether visible or not; (2) executing a detailed, line-by-line scope of work without exceeding the budgeted costs requires a rare combination of skill in project management, accounting, and communication; (3) the client wants to meet a deadline, and meeting deadlines requires consistent attention to monitoring the progress of all those involved. If Sam sent me an email to request a check, the same email included a detailed line-by-line itemization of all costs for which he requested payment. Additionally, every cost proved to be accurate. At no point was I asked to fund an over budget line item. Second, the degree of professionalism displayed by Sam and his team is as high as any client could hope for. Sam remained extremely responsive throughout the project, answering questions well past 9pm on numerous occasions. Moreover, I cannot recall a specific instance in which I grew frustrated with the pace or manner of the work performed by Sam and his team. If there was a delay, I always knew exactly what we were waiting on and the identity of the party upon whom we were waiting to proceed. Third, the outcome evidences what I already knew upon concluding our first interaction: Sam is committed to achieving a specific result, rather than a specific consequence. All too often, the GC's goal is to meet his or her contractual obligations in order to make a certain amount of time (like most professionals across various industries). As a client, however, I want to purchase an aesthetic result, not an effort to arrive at the result. Sam actually understands and shares this view, which is an exceptionally rare quality amongst professionals in general, let alone developers and GCs. Finally, Sam is one of the two or three people meet each year that works as many hours as I do. There is simply never an instance in which you will pause to question either the progress seen or the rate at which it is being completed. Sam is obsessed with achieving what he sets out to, and this obsession permeates the activity you will see on a daily basis. I would not say it if I did not believe it, as I could have omitted this paragraph entirely without any consequence whatsoever. Hopefully your next project turns out as well as you would like it to. If you hire Sam, then you have every reason to believe it will. Best, Aaron Kraut CEO, Co-Founder Brrrr.com | BrrrrLoans read more

We are profoundly thankful to Sam and his team for their exceptional work in transforming our 1920s home into a modern masterpiece. Sam's unwavering commitment to his craft and his diligent efforts to realize our vision have been genuinely impressive. Our family is now thoroughly enjoying our newly renovated home, thanks to the outstanding quality of their work. From the outset, Sam distinguished himself by engaging in thoughtful discussions about our project objectives, focusing on the specifics that mattered most to us. His approach was refreshingly free from excessive marketing, allowing us to feel confident in his ability to deliver a tailored solution. Throughout the process, Sam's focus remained steadfastly on creating a home that would perfectly align with our unique needs and aspirations. Sam leads a team of skilled professionals, each an expert in their respective field. Every aspect of our comprehensive renovation was handled with utmost professionalism and precision. Sam worked closely with us to establish a clear plan, set realistic expectations regarding costs and timelines, and prepared us for the challenges of a full-scale renovation while we continued to reside in the house. The execution of the project was seamless. The demolition crew efficiently dismantled walls and fixtures, preparing the space with remarkable speed and minimal disruption. The teams responsible for framing, electrical work, plumbing, HVAC, cabinetry, tiling, and other critical elements worked in harmony to deliver a stunning new kitchen, three beautifully renovated bathrooms, new flooring, and a revised layout that met every one of our expectations. Each detail was meticulously discussed and confirmed at every stage, ensuring that our vision was consistently reflected in the final product.

I do not even know where to begin, Sam and his crew were absolutely phenomenal. I wish I could give this review 6 stars. My husband and I wanted to make a master suite, to give my 3 sons each their own room. We had other contractors come in but as soon as we met Sam there was an initial connection and his mannerism and his honesty was what we loved. I was so nervous about having work done but the entire time I felt confident that everything was getting done correctly. We worked together as a team and came up with what we envisioned. Sam went above and beyond to give us what we wanted; he made our vision a REALITY! Sam and his crew were extremely professional, showed up every day at the same time ready to tackle our project. He created us a beautiful bedroom with a walk-in closet and a gorgeous spa like bathroom. Sam remained a part of this project and was available at all times whenever we needed him. Not only did he create a master suite for us but a mancave for my husband. He completely transformed our unfinished basement to a great area where we can all hang out as a family of 5, and of course will be great for football Sundays!! Also, a mudroom which we desperately needed because we have sport equipment everywhere LOL! Sam went above and beyond to our every expectation. My husband and I could not be happier and more pleased with the outcome of our project and the professionalism and honesty of Sam and his crew. I would highly recommend Sam's Construction to anyone who is looking to do renovations or any type of construction. We already have more plans for Sam and his crew to do more work in our home!!! read more

We used Sam's Construction & Renovation for our kitchen and dining room renovation. Sam and his team were wonderful to work with from the very beginning all the way to the final moment. They were very thorough and went over everything that was going to happen with the time frame. Sam and his crew were on-site all day and ensured to leave the renovation site clean and safe upon each day's end. The entire crew was polite and very transparent with what they would be working on that day. They did beautiful work! Sam guided us throughout the entire process and helped us with ideas that would work and would not work for the project. He clearly has a strong eye for design and makes the finished project look beautiful! We love the fact that once a week we would have a conference call with Michael and he would answer any questions we had. If Michael was unsure of an answer, he would find out from Sam and get back to us with the answers later that day. Michael would also email us at the end of the week with a summary of the week's progress, answers to any questions, and an itinerary for the upcoming week. Sam and his team finished the project in their estimated time frame and we are beyond happy with the finished project. We will continue to use Sam's Construction & Renovation for future projects within our home and would HIGHLY recommend this company for use! read more

Sam and his team did an amazing job renovating our basement and basement bathroom! Prior to the work, he recommended someone for HVAC to come in first since we weren't sure the best order to proceed with our projects. His recommended HVAC person was phenomenal as well, and when the work was finished Sam came in to start the basement work. He did a great job scaling the work to our budget and allowing us to complete stuff that we felt comfortable with (like painting.) He didn't just have us pick things out to do, he provided great feedback and guidance on design on what would have the best end result. When we uncovered some plumbing issues that needed to be addressed before work could continue, he was able to bring someone in to fix them at a very reasonable cost. When we had some suggested changes after the project had begun, he worked with us to accommodate our requests and charged fairly to do so. Everyone on his team that came to do work was punctual and professional. We had a great experience and will be hopefully using Sam to complete our future projects as well, as we cannot recommend him enough. He was honest, direct, trustworthy and communicated great with us. read more

We are so grateful for the work Samer has done! He did a beautiful job on our home and could not be happier with the result. This is not the first time working with him, he has also done a phenomenal job building out a previous restaurant a few years back. The quality of his work is exceptional. It is not often that you find someone who can deliver such excellent results in both commercial AND residential projects, but he truly does. He understands the practical demands and communicates everything thoroughly. He has approached everything with professionalism, precision, and integrity. Paying attention to detail is by far one of the top qualities to look for in any renovation. Returning to work with him shows everything. We would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a contractor with experience, skill, and a reputation for delivering outstanding work in both business and residential settings! read more

What an amazing experience with Awad Builders! We had an unexpected electrical and hardscape issue just days before my son's graduation party, and Sam and his team truly came through for us. Despite the short notice, he made himself and his team available, showed up promptly, and got everything taken care of professionally and efficiently. The quality of the work was outstanding, and he made sure everything was done right so we could enjoy the celebration without worrying about our backyard setup. It's rare to find someone who is not only highly skilled but also genuinely cares about helping their customers when they're in a bind. If you're looking for a reliable, responsive, and trustworthy contractor who stands behind their work, look no further. Thank you again for going above and beyond--you helped make our son's graduation celebration a success! read more

We recently had our 2 1/2 bathrooms remodeled by Sam, and overall we're very pleased with the results. His team was professional, respectful of our home, and worked hard to complete the project. The quality of the tilework, plumbing, and finishing details really showcases their craftsmanship. Communication was clear throughout, and they were open to addressing our questions and making adjustments when needed. We especially appreciated how they handled waterproofing, kept most of the work area clean, and resolved issues as they came up. While the project did take longer than expected, any challenges were handled professionally. In the end, the bathrooms look beautiful, and we feel confident in the quality of the work. I would recommend Sam to anyone considering a bathroom renovation, especially if you want a reliable team that delivers strong results. read more

How can we keep this review short??? If there was an option to leave greater than 5 I would. Sam and his team are FANTASTIC!!! What more can you ask from a contractor?? Competent, Creative, Reliable, and punctual and attentive to details! I have used Sam's Construction for two separate large renovation projects at Brunswick Family Dental and Implant Center and for adding a bathroom in my basement at my home. I needed to close the office for the shortest amount of time to have the renovation completed and Sam assured me it would be completed on time. He delivers MORE than what he promises! I am glad we went with SAM'S CONSTRUCTION! If you would like to see Sam's work first hand, Stop by our office!!!!! read more

I contacted Sam at the end of March 2020 in a nasty situation facing the covid 19 shut down with an incomplete and unusable kitchen. Sam took on our project and even improved on the overall kitchen design itself. He treated us with such kindness and professionalism during a very uncertain time when our old contractor abandoned us. He was in constant contact with us, giving us updates on progress and finished the entire job earlier than expected. The end result was a beautiful kitchen that exceeded our expectations. He also wound up doing additional work in our attic which left us more than pleased. We are so happy that we found him and will continue to use him for our home projects in the future. read more

Sams construction group was a pleasure to work with. The guys were polite, trustworthy, hard working and very nice. The project was finished on time like they promised it would. It is hard to live in a house with construction and without a kitchen but they made it so easy. They came everyday on time and when they left they left the area so clean. The group took their time with all the little details and touch ups that make a kitchen beautiful. The kitchen turned out more beautiful then we anticipated. We are so happy with our kitchen and glad that it was a smooth process. We would recommend Sams construction and renovation group to anyone that wants a great detailed job and worry free. read more

Usually don't have time to write reviews. But, due the exceptional service, quality of work, and paying attention to all details, I found my self writing this review for Sam's construction. He constructed a big project including 3 stories medical building and parking lot for me. He took over a prior contractor that did not do anything correct. In few months, he was able to finish with amazing results. Quality and time were my main issue and he provided best quality work in very reasonable time. Thank you Sam read more

Sam was referred to me by my sister after he completely renovated her house. I hired him to update my home that was stuck in the 1980s. Sam and his team did a fantastic job, paid attention to detail, and stuck to the schedule. I had no prior experience with renovating a home so I relied on Sam for his expertise and guidance. He was easy to reach when I needed him and was very reliable. My house now looks beautiful and I would highly recommend Sam to anyone looking to renovate their home. read more

Working with Sams construction was a life saver. They took over a house renovation project after another company bailed. Not only were they able to do the job at a more reasonable price, they were extremely fast and thorough. Sam proved to be very knowledgeable in the field and was able to point out major flaws from the old GC's kitchen design. Sam worked with us every step of the way, went above and beyond with workmanship, and couldn't have left us happier. read more

I have known Sam for a few years and he is an honest, hardworking person. I found him while he was building a brand new house next to our house.

He is honest with his estimate and does not overcharge and stands by his work. read more
