American Contracting Services, LLC

I contracted with American Contracting Services to do extensive modification of the plumbing in my bathroom and install a new bath tub. I only have one word that describes my impression of work performed, EXCELLENT! I was specifically impressed with Billy who did the actual work. Over the past I acquired the name “helicopter” because of always hovering over contracted work being done. I lost that name with Billy who instilled confidence in the quality of his work. I certainly do recommend American Contracting Services. Tom G

I have dealt with many contractors over the years and this team of worker bees can't be beat! From my first meeting with John Wood who was so polite and professional, to his brother Richard (he claims to be the good brother) who kept me informed and smiling, to Theresa who handled the paperwork and billing just as sweet as she could be and the construction team Mike, Billy and Chris? (not sure) who were consistently working, very polite, and just full of laughs no matter what they ran into. The job was finished on time and I didn't have to call them back for anything. They did the job right the first time! I will definitely contact them for my next project.

It was wonderful working with our Project Manager, Michael. His calls and texts are clear and concise. He checks in on site often. He addresses all concerns no matter how small. Also his interpersonal skills have made what could be stressful situations much easier by staying calm and having a desire to please.

We want to extend a big thank you to the team at American Contracting Services (ACS) for making our kitchen a space where we can enjoy one another’s company, have conversations with our loved ones, and entertain our friends. From the first meeting to the final walk through, the team made the experience smooth. Their customer service is superior. They communicate updates/issues frequently and anticipated our needs effortlessly. They ensured we were happy with the outcome of the project and went above and beyond to ensure that the project experience didn’t feel like it was just a transaction. As the customer, we truly were the focus of the project. The team was a joy to work with and we would work with ACS again in a heartbeat. They truly made our project come to fruition and we love it!

We hired ACS to renovate a 45 year old ranch to help accommodate my mother-in-law and her needs with a wheelchair. John and Richard proposed a great design that opened the floor plan and provided a great space for her. The improvements included a new kitchen island with special space for a microwave, and a table at the end where she can sit, wider doors, a new bedroom space and a new great room. The most impressive thing to me was the engineered beam they had to install as well as blending in new oak flooring and refinishing the original oak. It all looks brand new! They were very accommodating to any changes we made and did a lot while keeping us on budget. Mike our project manager was always so nice and great to work with. I feel like we made so new friends working with them the last 6 months. They made it as stress free as a renovation could be and took an old house and made it look new again! Very appreciative for all they did to help us out. Looking forward to working with them again next time.

After seeing the 3 season porch you had completed for a friend of mine, I was sold! I had gotten estimates from other "franchise" porch companies and after contacting ACS, their knowledge of the local ordinances showed me that they were not promising to do what would have been a violation of the codes. Their price was right in line with the "franchise" companies and they delivered a better product. The completed porch is beautiful and everyone who has seen it agree! The Ezebreeze Windows are impressive. I was frequently informed as to when to expect the workers to be there. James McCraw stayed on top of the job to ensure that I was happy with the work being done. Any issue was quickly and professionally fixed to my satisfaction. I have no problem recommending ACS to any of my friends.

American Contracting was outstanding to work with. They transformed by master bathroom and bedroom into a work of art, and exactly what I was looking for. They are meticulous, responsive, and incredibly detail oriented. They went above and beyond all expectations in every area – from craftsmanship, professionalism, honesty, and attention to detail and artistic vision. Milton and his crew kept my home clean as they were working here on demo, painting, laying luxury tile and shoe molding, and walled off the construction area which was much appreciated. The crew was so respectful. Brandon was incredibly easy to work with and made the process so smooth. We had some complex wall tile work that Steven meticulously worked on. It is stunning. I would not hesitate to highly recommend them for any home improvement work.

American Contracting Services rebuilt our detached one-car garage, making it a fully finished room with a small kitchen area (sink, counter, fridge) and an attached shed for lawn equipment and storage. The quality and design far exceeded my expectations, and they remained on budget the entire time. The project was managed seamlessly without requiring much of my own time or attention. They really captured the spirit of the project, and every decision was made with that in mind. I will definitely use them for any future renovations we make to our home, and HIGHLY recommend them for the best quality and most straight-forward project management and execution in Hampton Roads.

American Contractings Services, LLC replaced our upper vinyl windows in our 3-Season room with glass and did a beautiful job. Great company to work with - professional, courteous and beautiful work!

Fantastic work! Our remodeled kitchen looks absolutely amazing! The entire team is very friendly and hardworking. Grant is awesome! He kept us up to date with the project and quickly responded to our emails/texts/calls!!

American Contracting Services did a wonderful job on our modified Mother-in-Law Suite. The quality of work was phenomenal and the attention to detail was impressive. Grant was our project manager, and he sent us updates several times a week and showed up on the site to ensure that the work was getting done correctly and on-time. We made a few modifications along the way, and they were able to accommodate our requests with ease. Not only did they have a strong work ethic, but they were also very kind and thoughtful in asking how mom was doing (as she was struggling with her health). I would highly recommend them!

I have dealt with too many contractors in my brief, 3 year stay in Chesapeake. American Contracting Services has been by far the best. I hired them to come in and fix a botched remodel from another "A-List" contractor and prepare my home for a sale. They are professional, efficient, communicative and flexible to my needs to get this home ready during a trying time for all of us. They are worth every penny and every bit of hassle it takes to make your home your DREAM HOME! For what it is worth, I do not write reviews as everybody's experiences vary so greatly in this life. I had to write this for American Contracting though, because there are so many awful contractors in this area and it is nearly impossible to hold them accountable, so save yourself the hassle and book these guys.

We were referred to American Contracting by a friend who had nothing but good things to say. We had our kitchen remodeled, a wall removed, and new flooring added throughout our entire first floor. American Contracting started with having a full team come to our house to better understand our vision prior to making the initial estimate. American Contracting was honest and expressed that they would not have additional fees once the project started unless desired by us, this remained true until the end. American had competitive pricing and kept us well informed throughout the project. Project Manager Matt Roth would text us on a daily basis to keep us informed with what tasks were to be accomplished and at what time. All sub contractors were professionals and did excellent work. We love the results and our new kitchen, and this could not have been done without American Contracting. If you need home improvements, look no further than American Contracting.

After a tragic loss, due to a house fire, I was tasked with researching a good builder to rebuild our home during the onset of the pandemic. While doing my research on HOUZZ I came across American Contracting Service profile and was quite impressed with their work and background. Honestly, I wasn't only trying to find a good builder but good people to hire as well. It was right up my alley and not too big of a company that you get lost in the shuffle. Meeting with Richard and John was a relief almost heaven sent. They are good hearted people. They did an amazing job, exactly what I wanted. I love my new home. The entire team was always responsive in communicating and active in making this process as stress free as was possible. I would absolutely use them again in the future and recommend them to anyone in need of a good builder. Thank you, American Contracting Service. Romans 8:28

Thank you all for a job well done and helping my family get back into our home. Our home is better than it was when we had it built, thanks to you all. I am grateful that I came across American Contractors. I am emotional while writing this because had you not took our job my family and I would still be displaced. I pray that God bless your company, your workers, and your families for your good works and efforts. I recommend American Contractors with 2 thumbs up!!

We have used American Contracting Services for 2 remodels. First, for the remodel of our kitchen/living area, this included almost an entire rebuild of those areas, including subfloor replacement and bay window repair. These repairs were not on the original estimate, but American kept those repair costs and delays at a minimum. Recently, they did a complete remodel of our master bathroom, as well as flooring and painting of all our bedrooms. We could not be happier with the job they have done. From the very first visit with John and Richard to estimate the job, we always felt a sense that the customer’s satisfaction was their primary goal. They were attentive to our desires as the customer and went above and beyond to make the job meet our expectations. Once the work began, Grant was responsible for the day to day operations. It was a pleasure to have him as our point of contact while the work took place. He was always forthcoming, honest, and attentive. He always kept us in the loop about what work was taking place and the upcoming schedule of work. As with any job, some unexpected issues came up, such as needing new subflooring. Grant always worked diligently to adjust and to make sure we were happy with the direction things were going. They completed the work to our satisfaction and in a timely manner. There were hardly any days where progress was not made in some way. They were also extremely accommodating on any changes we wanted to make in the middle of the project. The end results of the remodel blew us away. Both remodels look like they belong in a magazine. We are extremely satisfied with their work and cannot recommend a company more highly than this hard working group. We will use nobody else for any future home improvement projects.

We used American Contracting Services for our recent complete Kitchen remodel. Throughout the process they were great. We were in constant communication and they always were quick to respond to any questions, concerns, or issues that came up even coming out many times on the weekends. We are extremely happy with how our kitchen turned out and would highly recommend them for any remodel. We plan to use them again in the future!.

American contracting installed a deck covering for us in half the time expected. Its great quality and looks amazing. We will continue to use them for any project around our house.

The team got the job done quickly, with quality. Our experience was very positive. They were also very responsive to requests, additions, and/or adjustments throughout the process.

Many thanks to Richard and John Wood and their crews for an outstanding job remodeling my old kitchen. They took all the walls down to the studs, upgraded the electrical with a new service panel, new sheetrock, floor, cabinets, granite, the works - all at a fair and reasonable price. Overall surpassed my expectations. They have earned my strongest recommendation. Thanks again guys!

I interviewed 3 companies to build a 600 sq.ft addition to my house as my 86 year old mother was moving in with me and I definitely made the right choice! Richard was so patient with us and helped us design exactly what we needed. The permit went on the door and 3 months later it was finished. I work from home and watched the whole process from beginning to end. I can honestly say out of the 3 month process there were only a handful of days that someone wasn’t at my house working. They even worked a few weekends! The addition was 2 bedrooms, sitting area & full bath and kitchen with a huge deck and nothing was used but the best materials. My brother is a construction project manager in D.C and each time he would come to visit he was continually impressed with the workmanship. John was constantly at the house checking on the progress and when things needed to be expertly done they would have Billy, (the craftsman) there to make sure it was done perfectly. When my mom had to move in a week earlier than planned they really pulled out all the stops so the final inspection could be done. We are so pleased with the work this company has done, if I could rate it higher than 5 stars I would. Excellent company, excellent workmanship and the bonus is John and Richard are super nice people. We honestly couldn’t be happier!

We contracted with Richard and team to redo our back deck to make a 3-season room with a second tier deck and concrete patio out to our pre-existing pool. His professionalism and perfection ensured the project was carried out to our requests and his specifications. Communication was also superb as there were several national back orders during the project completion. We are enjoying our new space and friends and neighbors have really enjoyed it as well. We give them our highest recommendation.

We had an opportunity to work with American Contracting Services,LLC on our rental property. They did an excellent job! Windows replaced, interior walls fixed, interior painted, exterior fixed. The staff was professional and experienced. Everything was done on time. Thank you guys, it was a real pleasure.

Richard and American Contracting Services were so amazing and trustworthy during a time of crisis. We had some serious leaking that stopped our new flooring install dead in its tracks until repairs could be made. Richard was just simply amazing, professional, and friendly and took care of all our needs as quickly as possible. We got the leaks and flashing fixed ASAP and then was able to get our painting and floors installed very soon. I’m also extremely satisfied with the impeccable customer service we received from Richard and American Contracting Services. We highly recommend them and will use them again soon!

There are not enough words to explain how amazing this family centered company was to my Husband and I. They truly believe in people first, and will bend over backwards, in a heartbeat, without a single question asked!!! We will forever contact American Contracting Services for all our future home needs. They were truly wonderful to work with!

A wonderful Christian group of folks to work with - honest, true integrity, and strive for perfection. Richard and John are on site at every turn of the job and keep the client informed on the day to day operations and progress of the job. I would highly recommend American Contracting Services, LLC. I am grateful to the person who recommended them to me - THANK YOU for the beautiful addition to our home.

Working with American Contracting was a great experience. The communication was superb and they did everything possible to keep my job in budget while executing my vision (both were achieved)! It was rare to have a day when workers were not present. Also, the progress could be seen daily. I love my bathroom and the cabinets that were put in my laundry room! I look forward to them doing my daughters kitchen.

We waited to write a review until the new home improvements settled…. And after a year of living with our new improvements, we must say that our experience has been nothing but extraordinary. Richard is the best! He did an amazing job at my house. Even when we were a total pain with last minute requests he would accommodate. Richard was the first contractor that came over to the house that my boyfriend and I had just purchased. We hated our kitchen, it was dated and dark. He came in gave us a few ideas, and we went with it. He sent us the new plans on how the kitchen would look and we fell in love. Did I tell you he added a window to our kitchen? It makes the kitchen look bigger and there is so much light in the kitchen. He completely changed the set up of the kitchen and we couldn’t be happier. During the demolition phase, we found out the plumbing in the house needed to be replaced. His plumber came in and replaced all the plumbing. It was unexpected cost, but he was able to make it work. He also replaced all the carpet we had downstairs and installed luxury vinyl. When we have visitors over, the first thing they notice is the floor then the kitchen. We get complimented on those improvements all the time. We are so happy and excited with the results. He will more than likely be replacing our fascia and soffit on the house exterior as well as building a deck for us. We highly recommend Richard’s company, he’s highly attentive and a true professional! Thank you so much for doing such an amazing job on our home!

They did an excellent job! Beautiful work! I didn't know what I wanted, or how I wanted it to look, I just knew it needed to be updated, beautiful, and something our customers would walk in and be impressed. Richard mastered that! He designed our new kitchen, and exceeded my expectations of what it could ever look like. You could never guess that it was the same room. Along the way of installation, they came up with even more ideas to make an even more stunning entrance. We love it and are proud to show it off!

Richard and his company remodeled our kitchen and master bath. His crew was very professional and the finished product was awesome. I would definitely recommend American Contracting and I would use them again any day. You will enjoy the experience with this company.

My husband and I unexpectedly found a lot of water damage to our home when installing new floors a month before our 4th baby was due. This was a highly stressful time of working with insurance and working on a budget. After reaching out for help and asking for recommendations on Facebook, Richard and his team were highly recommended. We decided to go through with them and were not dissapointed! Richard is knowledgeable, honest, punctual, and pays attention to detail. The price quote we were given was much better than expected as we are always concerned about getting ripped off. We had interior painting, trim repair, and flashing repairs and could not be happier! It is clear to see that Richard has a concern and care for people and the community. We will always go to them first for any other future needs!

Richard and his team came in under budget and exceeded expectations. After a lengthy class action lawsuit battle with Certainteed cement fiber boards, Richard came in and laid out all the options available to us for residing our home. We went with Hardie plank siding and it looked better than the day the house was built.

What a great experience, between excellent craftsmanship and superb communication I have been very pleased. I look forward to my next project with ACS. I would like to note I own an insurance company and have many people to choose from, I would choose Richard and his company any day, the whole experience has been fantastic!

They went above and beyond my expectations and made sure everything was prefect before final payment was made. One of the workers fixed a piece of my floor because he noticed it was messed up. To me that goes above and beyond and shows how much they care about their customers. The owner even came back to help me re-install my blinds once the windows were done and caulking had dried. Highly recommended!

American Contracting Services helped us with a full kitchen remodel. I have no complaints because it was fantastic. They are confident professionals who were with us from the planning to the execution. The only delays caused were by unforeseen occurrences. I have already recommended them to family and friends.

What a fantastic experience! Richard and his entire team was above board, and was with us every step of the way. We received constant status updates, and Richard always verified our complete satisfaction at every step.! I highly recommend this contractor to tackle any construction and home improvement projects you may have. He has become not only our go to contractor, but our friend as well.

Richard was a joy to work with. We told him our budget and he designed the kitchen for us. He kept us up to date on progress and it was ready before the projected date. He went above and beyond helping us. His brother, John also was involved and they were both so much fun. Richard is a very nice, Christian man, professional, and always willing to help.

Richard was with me every step of the way and was not happy with the project until I was happy with the project. He is very easy to work with and they were always accessible with any questions I may have had. The workers were all very respectful and any issues I had with scheduling were handled without any problems. I have hired this company 3 times (bathroom remodel, wet bar install and kitchen) All are beautiful, were completed in time and within budget. I did add some things later and that added cost but that was my doing. I loved having the neighbors over for dinner and drinks in my new kitchen and wet bar. I am currently planning another project (full deck w/ enclosed sun room) and am very confident this job will be just as beautiful and as hassle free as the others.

We did a full remodel of bathroom, kitchen all windows and roof (This was a rehab house in bad condition). Richard always answers the phone or called right back. When a problem would come up (as in all rehabs) Richard was very open to find solutions not into sale pressures. When things run behind the contractor himself came out to work to help get back on schedule. Great and Fair pricing. I am planning on doing another Rehab home and will use this company again.

Professional kitchen design and installation, from floor to recessed lighting all aspects of my kitchen/dinning room renovation were handled by American Contracting Services; Highly Recommended!

Thank you again to Richard and American Repairs. Great job on my kitchen remodel. It is stunning! Can't wait to show it off. The design is so functional and the flow between rooms is outstanding. All your employees are considerate and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend your company to anyone looking to do home repairs or remodeling. No job too big or too small. Thanks again!Prior to kitchen remodel they also installed new windows, a sliding glass door and rear entry and storm door.
