American Wallworks

This was the second basement rec room I have hired Sterling to work on. I installed the drywall (walls and ceiling) on the first one, but hired him to hang and finish the drywall (walls only this time) on this one as the entrance to the room required blending with the original drywall in the stairway. He was out to my house for a quote within a few days of being contacted. Start of work was to be the next week but was delayed a week due to a personal emergency of his. Then his helper had a car accident so I ended up helping to bring the drywall into my basement and to hang the drywall. I removed a large basement window to make bringing in the 12' sheets of drywall much easier and keep the cost down. I received a small credit for all my work. I did not first see his contract until he arrived to start work and then did not get a copy until I later asked for it. The contract requires the homeowner to provide a dumpster for scrap which I failed to notice when I signed it. He commented on the cost of having to haul away the scrap for me. My fault for not requesting and scrutinizing the contract before signing. Also, drywall work is very messy and dust propagates everywhere despite hanging up many plastic sheets, so be prepared for major cleanup of the entire house afterward. In the end it was well worth it. Sterling's workmanship is excellent. It looks like the builder did it and you cannot tell where he blended the old and new texture.

I had my house re-stucco by Sterling and his crew. They seemed like they did good work at the time of service but when the stucco and sealing re-cracked, I had Sterling over to inspect. He agreed that he needed to come and re-seal the cracks. The problem is that Sterling is extremely forgetful. I had him over on 4 different occasions to service his warranty. Each time he was only prepared to look at it as if it was the first he heard there's a problem. Each time, he agreed it needs to be re-sealed. Several years later, I gave up on him. If he does good work for you the first time then you're in luck. If you need him to correct anything, you need to be much more persistent and patient than I was. I could not recommend a company unwilling to stand behind their work.
