Ammirato Construction Testimonials

We bought a long neglected home in Los Gatos and Ammirato Construction handled the entire project, inside and outside. Our job was extensive, a complete gut down to the studs and including a new roof and windows, relocated kitchen, three remodeled bathrooms, a newly designed entry, completely new exterior, etc. It was a massive undertaking.
John’s crew was always on site by 8am and were dedicated to quality workmanship. The job site was kept impeccably clean and that was truly appreciated by our neighbors as we were not living there during the majority of the work. The attention to detail is amazing and John and his project manager were always available to talk through issues and changes as we progressed. They are both very current on the latest technologies with regard to homes and we appreciated that as we incorporated several interesting concepts in our home. John has a terrific eye for design and was personally responsible for creating our new entry staircase (an entire flight off the driveway), a floating countertop with undermount lights in a bathroom, and an incredible modern fireplace that is made of composite tiles on all four sides and stands 20-feet tall.
Because we were so pleased with the work done on our home, we hired Ammirato Construction to manage our outdoor project as well. This included: a series of retaining walls, an outdoor kitchen with trellis and plumbing, a custom gas firepit with trellis, irrigation, extensive outdoor lighting and sound both of which are controlled by an app on our phones, regarding the property to create a sloping walkway to the new ipe deck, a 300-foot pathway up the steep incline to the top of our property and a patio at the top with access to water and wifi. Another huge undertaking, but again, John and his team demonstrated their engineering skills, and ability to keep on a timeline and budget.
Needless to say, our neighbors were very curious to see our new home as they watched its transformation from the street. We welcome anyone considering using Ammirato Construction to come to see our home as a testament to John’s pride in his work.

John, Matt and team are amazing. There are always unforeseen budget over-runs…however, they handled the project very well. I have used Ammirato Construction before, and I will use them again.

We selected Ammirato Construction for three separate jobs over the past few years; a kitchen remodel for a 10 year old home, restoration of a 1912 craftsman home, and demolition and reconstruction of a cottage, installation of a new patio, driveway and hardscape for the entire property.

The cottage rebuild offered its own challenges given the small footprint we were allowed to build on. Ammirato Construction worked with us to create a highly livable design that fits a full kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and laundry into 400 square feet. The small cottage feels roomy and comfortable inside while matching the craftsman design style on the outside. Ammirato designed an elevated stone-faced patio with outdoor kitchen which is off the back of the craftsman house adjoining the cottage. The patio extends the living space of the 1,000 square foot home creating an outdoor room with gas fireplace.
John Ammirato and his crew chiefs provided great guidance through these large projects and were invaluable in creating the designs that are fabulous looking and were executed to the highest quality standards. Ammirato construction gets the highest recommendation we can give.

John just completed my master bathroom gut as well as refinishing my hardwood floors and powder bath remodel. I can’t say enough about John and his team. He is quick to respond, trustworthy, organized, timely, and does beautiful work. I’m an interior designer, so I know exactly how I want the finished project to look and John delivered exactly what I wanted down to the tiniest detail. My master bath was a complicated project with lots of custom details and he came up with creative ways to implement such a design. It was nice to leave on several week long vacations and not only trust that my house and belongings were safe and watched after, but also to be able to see the progress that he documented daily with photos and notes on BuilderTrend – a website that he uses to communicate with clients. I will most certainly use Ammirato Construction in the future, and well as recommend them to clients and friends.
