Constraction reviews in Walnut Creek, California

Our gutter was sloped downward and leaking and I called them … they sent the guy and fixed it in less than an hour…. great service!!

Once again the courteous and professional folks at AB came through for us. Always exceptional work and customer service! Clive Worsley, Executive Director, California Shakespeare Theater.

AB Construction did an absolutely great job and were very professional and very personable.

AB Construction came up with the most creative (and cost effective) solution to add a beam to our garage to fix a sagging roof. Another contractor’s solution was not even close in creativity and cost.

We were able get the work done quickly and it was done right at a very fair price. I appreciated the excellent clean-up after the work!

Got to work quickly, were responsive to our needs and did excellent work. I would definitely recommend them.

AB Construction: all-around class operation. Integrity and competence.

I have used AB Construction for a few projects and I am impressed by their work quality, responsiveness and honesty. Would happily work with these guys many times over (which can rarely be said of contractors!).

Great experience working with AB Construction!

they were on time, explained what was done and completed the job for a fair price

Thank you so much for pulling the guys off their job to help us out with moving the plants and furniture back to our deck. They were so gracious and considerate.

Working with AB Construction was just awful. Simply put, they ruined the experience of moving into our forever home.
Andy (the owner) came out and twice walked through the job task by task. I even wrote out a workload description on a Google Sheet since he never provided a workload summary. He said it would take no longer than a week since it was all basic stuff (a dozen or so recessed lights, tv mount and outlet, four overhead fans, a window and door glass, and porch post and eave repairs, and some odds and end other things). It took TWO Months and that was not the worst part.
Here is a list of some of the things that were not done right or needed to be redone multiple times (included pictures for some).
1. Install a TV mount (with the exact TV on site for measuring) – Holes all through wall like Swiss Cheese. It was like they just kept drilling without measuring or detecting studs.
2. Recessed lights marked all over the ceiling or holes drilled next to them.
3. Recessed lights not hung flush to the ceiling. Had to have him come back multiple times to adjust.
4. Instead of replacing a light and adding one in the kitchen his team added another light, which resulted in us having to change the aesthetic and lighting arrangement in the kitchen and patch & repair work.
5. Installed the incorrect lights in our hallway even though they were clearly marked (and talked about during the walkthrough).
6. Marks on the wall from his crew leaving ladders against them.
7. A razor blade was left on my kid’s bedroom floor at the end of the day.
8. Not repairing all the eaves and having to come back for a missed one.
9. A post bracket was installed poorly and is hanging off the post.
10. The bedroom fan remotes were installed or not installed three different ways or nothing at all.
11. One of the fans was installed with the blades rotating the opposite way even though they others were all rotating the same direction.
I could go on. The point is that Andy and his crew never executed with quality and attention to detail. They were either rushing to get through or just lacked the accountability to do the job right. What makes it worse is that Andy (as you will read from other reviews) verbally attacks the customer when you hold him and his crew accountable for their work. He is unprofessional, lacked oversight of his crews, and delivered poor quality work.
AB Construction failed to deliver on the most basic project. I would strongly consider this experience and whether you want to risk having the same thing.

We need a small one piece of tile cut and cemented into place since I don’t do tile!
The tile person was awesome and polite and got the piece into place and was very clean with his work
Always go with AB Construction

AB Construction did an excellent job replacing my electric panel. Juan, the technician that did the work was professional and knowledgebale. I recommend AB Construction if you need a replacement or upgrade.

Great service, fair price, really nice employees! On time completion, very happy!!!😆
They just did two more jobs for me…. Electrical, lighting, trash hauling and delivery. Great service at a fair price!

They just did three more jobs for me… couldn’t be happier!

Where do I start, a nightmare, we trusted AB Construction and we were greatly disappointed. The owner Andy has so many unfinished jobs for us and has excuses and overcharged us on so many items. He actually tried to charge us $350.00 to hang a light in our Kitchen that took him 10 Minutes, When confronted about the price he actually said that he had to cut the wire. He also tried to charge us $700.00 to take a mirror off the wall. He said he had to patch up the wall and still there was on the same bill a charge of $1500.00 to patch up the walls in my house, He also tried to charge us $200.00 to move my refrigerator 20 feet after he moved the Refrigerator away from the wall and tried to charge me $250.00 to put a different outlet into the wall.

I'm not saying that every job was bad, but the majority of them had problems. they stuccoed one of my 3 fireplaces and the hearth came out 2 inches larger on one side than the other. Andy said he would take care of it but it's been 3 months and nothing has been taken care of. The list goes on and on.

We hired him to install our Kitchen, they put the cabinets in before they painted the walls, he wanted an extra $400.00 to put the handles on the Kitchen cabinets even though he agreed to do our Kitchen at a certain price, He tried telling me that handles aren't included in the price of my Kitchen. My kitchen still isn't done, he started in March, it's the 3rd week of July. It took him a month to put a switch on the other side of our kitchen to turn on/off the lights when entering or exiting.

There are other things his workers destroyed in out House. I paid $3500.00 to do my garage floors, his worker stacked liquid leveling compound on my floor and the bag was broken and leaked harden on my Garage floor and basically destroyed the finish of the floor. He had one of his workers put epoxy on the spot but it peeling off already. It need to be done over again.

I can go on and on but what's the use? I have such a headache from these people. Andy is a shmoozer, and a hustler, I can respect that in him, but for me the work is substandard for a high end house or even an apartment building. Andy has a problem following thru on what's important for the client. He doesn't inspect the jobs and could care less about the quality of work.

I recently hired AB Construction for a small project, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. The team was professional, efficient, and paid close attention to detail throughout the entire process. I highly recommend AB Construction for any project, big or small!

Excellent job. On-time. Pleasure to work with.

After trying to hire several contractors for a small job, I remembered that I had used AB construction for some small jobs in the past. They were available immediately, were lovely to work with, and got the job done as soon as they could.

Andy always comes through when I need him. I trust him and his crew tremendously and would highly recommend them for any construction, handyman, etc type work.

Friendly, flexible, experienced, offered good advice to avoid unneeded projects.
