Easy to understand and appreciate. They expertly tackled a dry rot nightmare on the back of our house - a nightmare which we though had been remedied by another contractor years ago. Turns out that contractor made matter worse. Antone and crew were able to identify the sources of water intrusion - roof, gutter, a rotted window, wood siding, you name it. It took some time chasing down the dry rot, but the end result is that this side of the house looks as good as the time of original construction. The crew was punctual, neat and tidy, coordinated well with other trades, and they were fair in their pricing. All in all, a solid performance. I have referred NS Contractors to a work colleague, and will invites them back to address some fix-it items on the front of the house.

We had interviewed several contractors and chose Creekside Pro Construction, and we're glad we did. From our first meeting with one of Creekside's Project Manager, Barak, his professionalism and demeanor left us with a good feeling. This positive impression held true throughout the entire project, reinforcing our confidence in Creekside Pro Construction. Working with Barak was a truly positive experience from start to finish. He consistently demonstrated excellent communication skills, actively listening to and addressing concerns throughout the project. Barak's patience and timely estimates made the entire process smooth. The project was completed on schedule and within the agreed budget. I highly recommend Creekside Pro construction and our project manager Barak for his professionalism and commitment to customer satisfaction. Thank you Barak and Creekside Pro Construction for getting us back in our home before the holidays.

Update after the company's response:…read more For transparency, I am adding screenshots from the signed contract and project email correspondence. The contract (Quote #3975 - $150,000) clearly includes upgrading the main residential electrical service to 200 AMP and installing the awning above the ADU access door as part of the project scope. These items were presented in the company's response as if they were additional work, but they appear explicitly in the signed contract. I have also included an email dated Aug 20 from the project manager confirming the project was "on track for completion in 3-4 months." The project ultimately took around 6 months to complete. Additionally, the electrical work referenced in their response included an EV circuit, which is typically required for new construction and ADU projects under the 2022 California Electrical Code. This is a standard code requirement rather than a discretionary upgrade. These screenshots provide context for my experience during the project. Throughout the build I frequently had to verify measurements, coordinate ordering timelines, and raise planning questions that would normally fall under project management. The on-site crew worked hard and treated the property respectfully, and I appreciate their effort. My review reflects the overall experience managing this project as a homeowner and is shared to provide transparency for others considering a similar project.

Extremely Poor Experience - Lack of Accountability and Misrepresentation…read more We were assigned AMS by our HOA to repair extensive damage to our living room and kitchen caused by a major water leak from a common pipe. Unfortunately, working with AMS has been a nightmare. Our home has been left in a broken, partially demolished state for over six months with no meaningful progress. AMS consistently hides behind "contract terms" and "processes," yet fails to follow through on their own commitments. Timelines are repeatedly pushed with vague or fabricated explanations, and every promised start date has come and gone without action. For more than three months, we were explicitly told that materials were being procured. When it became clear that no materials had actually been ordered and we questioned the misinformation, the response was simply, "the past is past." This complete lack of accountability was shocking. Whenever we ask direct and reasonable questions, AMS redirects us to the HOA instead of answering--using this as an escape mechanism. At the same time, they provide the HOA with inaccurate or misleading updates to justify ongoing delays, creating conflicting narratives and leaving the homeowner stuck in the middle. Living in a damaged home for this long has caused significant stress, disruption, and financial burden. Communication has been poor, commitments have not been honored, and transparency has been completely lacking. Based on our experience, I would strongly advise against working with AMS, especially for time-sensitive or homeowner-impacting repairs. Accountability, honesty, and basic project management are severely lacking.

The projects were diverse, ranging from retaining wall repair and replacement, siding issues, and possibly mold in my living room. Sean had reasonable, thoughtful and economical approaches and solutions for every problem. He gave me a reasonable bid, and completed the project quickly and efficiently.

I have had a great deal of experience with contractors over my 40 years as a homeowner and can highly recommend them without reservation. Mark T.

This review is of A M Construction based in Antioch, CA. (There are other listings with the name…read more"Meneses" that are not in Antioch.) This is not your usual review. I am not a customer. I'm across the street from the customer. I'm writing it because it's the 3rd major construction project in this immediate area in the last several years, one more to go. Three of the four were/are about a year-and-a-half long. I'm writing because I've discovered that there can be significant differences from one construction company to the next when it comes to neighborhood relations. Hire these guys! They don't abuse the work-hour limits set by the city (Albany) like the others, who would often start early or run a long time after they were supposed to quit in the evening. They ease up on weekends out of regard for the neighborhood and often don't work on Sunday at all. The break from construction activity is very welcome. But even in that area, (construction noise) they're better than the rest. I thought they seemed quieter than the others and out of curiosity asked a supervisor, thinking I was just imagining it. Turns out it's deliberate. For instance, how many guys are 'hammering' at the same time, time of day, day of week. They try to intelligently decrease the noise they create as much as they can, as appropriately as they can. They also try to be considerate about parking. They know there's an area a half-block away with parking not in front of anyone's door. They seem to pick up on the difference between an empty parking space that's due to a car being gone all day (to a day job), from an empty space that is used by someone who's based at home all day and empty only because the person is off on an errand for a couple hours. In the latter case they try to limit using that space to once a week. If you're planning a construction project there's no getting away from the fact that it's going to be intrusive to your neighbors noise-wise and parking-wise. They won't be thrilled to have the disruption. How refreshing that this company (A M Construction in Antioch) acts like they realize that too, and try to be considerate when they can. If you care about the effect your plans will have on your neighbors, hire these guys! (Bonus: there's kind of a nice vibe coming off this group. They seem to like each other and enjoy working together.) P.S. I read the other customer reviews for the first time after writing the above. I'm not surprised by what I read. If they make the extra effort in one area they're probably making it in all areas. Tim W. Albany

Due to the difficulty and risk involved for excavation, it was hard to find a contractor to take on the job but from my initial consult with Victor, him and his team noted their experience with these scenarios and he was confident they can do it in less than a day. On excavation day they brought the necessary equipment and tools and were very cautious about the gas pipe. They ended up finishing the job in less than a half day! To follow up, we realized we needed more excavation at the apron of the driveway and Victor again came to the rescue and excavated that for us a week later. I sincerely appreciate the time efficiency and skill that Victor and his team have in getting our excavation needs completed. I highly recommend Victor and his team and will always reach out to him first when we need more excavation for future projects. Thanks Victor!
