All American Design and Construction LLC

All work done was excellent in quality and the attention to detail was great. Karl made everything easy by handling all the coordination with granite, tile, and glass providers. Karl and his assistant were always friendly and pleasant to be around. During the design process, Karl made several suggestions that we had not considered before. We went with most of them and they look fantastic! Karl has great relationships with all of the suppliers that we used and that also made our design process very easy. The quality of materials he suggested was great. Karl is trained in installing Schluter Systems and we used that in our bathroom and are incredibly happy with the results. We will definitely use All American Design the next time we need to do a kitchen or bath remodel.

Great!! Karl had to work around some pre install lighting on cabinets and schedule around other repairs. But of course, once again Karl came through with beautiful work.

I needed a complete kitchen remodel after moving from Santa Fe to Albuquerque and purchasing a 40 year old home. I had a good idea of what I wanted, but wasn't sure of how to get there. I talked to a lot of high-rated contractors, got estimates from several and chose Karl Parker (All American Design and Construction). His estimate was among the lowest and his references were great. With his help, I got the entire project done for under $31,000, without skimping on appliances, cabinets, counter tops, etc. I was out of the country during part of the time the project was done, and also had an unplanned out-of-state trip due to a death in the family, and the work proceeded in a timely and professional manner whether I was around or not. My new kitchen is more functional than before, has twice as much storage, more prep area, seating at an island and modern materials. Karl especially enjoys working with tile, and it shows. The vendors and tradesmen he referred me to were all top notch and reasonably priced. Overall, it was a total success.

I've heard those horror stories of contractors that are difficult to work with and was a bit intrepid going into my first renovation shortly after purchasing a house. I had no reason to worry though, because finding Karl Parker of All-American Design and Construction meant smooth sailing pretty much all the way through. I was impressed with his professionalism, timeliness, and the serious approach he took to every task. Karl cares about a quality job and doesn't cut corners. He was also very patient with me and guided me along the process of picking out cabinets and faucet, sink, etc. The cabinets from SOLLiD Cabinetry that Karl introduced me to are beautiful and so reasonably priced. I was impressed with his industry knowledge and know-how and the people he introduced me to, from the granite countertop fabricators Design Alliance and the electrical subcontractor, Bob of ProCraft. It is very revealing that Karl is surrounded by people who are good at what they do, because he is excellent at what he does and those partnerships only make their work that much better! I also appreciated that he would give me his opinion on a decision I was having trouble with, because he is a professional and his opinion counts for a lot, after all! My kitchen remodel turned out even better than I hoped for and it is now a dream kitchen that also fits the style of this house. I am trying to think of what else needs to be improved upon so that I can call AADNC back for another collaboration!

Demolished old bathroom but kept the existing cabinets. Remodeled bathroom which included installing new floor tile, new tile on bath/shower surround, new sink/vanity top, fixtures, medicine cabinet, lighting, fan, toilet. Everything turned out great. Karl was very professional, honest, and takes pride in his high quality work. The site was kept clean throughout the process. Karl has a high attention to detail and quality work, and still completed the job on schedule, in fact, a little ahead of schedule. I would definitely hire All American Design and Construction for my next project.

Demolished old bathroom. Installed new tile on floor and shower, new cabinets, quartz vanity top, fixtures, medicine cabinet, lighting, fan, toilet. The bathroom turned out amazing - the tile work is especially beautiful. Karl was honest, professional, and made great suggestions and kept me up to date with any issues/problems as he went along. The job site was kept clean every day. High attention to detail and quality work all the way around. I highly recommend All American Design and Construction.

This is the third bathroom remodel that I have done with All American Design and construction. The results were no less then expected.The tile work was exquisite. I even have future work planned with this company. I would recommend Mr Parker for his impecable workmanship and his attention to detail.

He was very good. He had lots of ideas for our space. He was cautious and took his time. He was very good at cleaning up each day. He was good at checking with us if we or if he had a question.

We had a very New England style country bathroom in our modern New Mexico home. We wanted to replace this with something more updated and with a better fit for the house. I use this bathroom as my spa and I really miss the ocean. After a lot of thought and lots of viewing of designs, I came up with a glass tile design that was complex but I thought it would give me a modern bathroom with a feel of walking from the beach into the ocean. I knew I wanted American Design and Construction (Karl Parker) to be the one to execute on the plan. Karl's work is precise, he has done work for us in the past and I just knew he could pull this off. Karl offered additional ideas (heated floors, and a wave up the wall, and then BLING! dimensions silver grout). The bathroom has turned out great and it very spa-Hollywood now - I LOVE IT. Please see old and new photos. If you want commercial quality of construction, determination to execute on a dream and precision work, then American Design and Construction is the way to go. Second job we have done, I am sure we will do at least two more jobs with AD&C within the next two years.

Karl finished both jobs ahead of schedule and worked with us to complete even though we had to be out of town at the end of the job. Good clean up and fantastic workmanship with extra care for the quality of the job. We had some tile glass mosaic that was tricky but Karl and his team made it work. Ruben and Wayne (Karl's team) were also great to work with. Karl is very straight forward and realistic about the work, can do anything but his primary focus is to deliver a high quality excellent product at the end of the job.

When we were first searching for someone to take on this very important undertaking we were a bit skeptical. We interviewed a couple of individuals that supposedly did this kind of work, but they never called back to follow up. Since we subscribed to Angie's List we then started the search, and quickly we narrowed our search to ALL American Design and Construction LLC primarily because of the reviews that were posted. We right away met with Mr Karl Parker and we were impressed with his expertise. We decided to hire him and have to say that he and his entire crew did truly a professional job. At some point during the process we were considering refacing the existing cabinets, and were so glad we did not. Because when the crew went to remove the existing granite tiles they found the tiles were cemented to the cabinets, coupled with discovering that the previous wiring was improperly installed. Bottom line we got a totally remodeled kitchen with new cabinets, new granite, all new appliances and total new and proper wiring. We are glad we made the choices we did although not easy decisions, but thanks to Mr Parker's advice and honesty. We now have a new kitchen that we designed and it's our kitchen not one we inherited. We would high recommend Mr Parker and his crew for any job!

Karl provided a prompt estimate. The price was in the middle of the pack and I chose him because of his Angies list reviews. He worked well and left the house fairly clean. I really didn't have time to do the running around to choose tile and fixtures and the like. This is where he helped me a lot. He made some great suggestions and checked with me every step of the way. I would hire him again. The bathroom looks beautiful and functions great. Before after

He was knowledgeable. He was prompt. I just didn't like that he kept suggesting work to me that I didn't need to have done. I just wanted him to open the wall up and he kept saying I was going to have to get plumbing and other things corrected. I just wish he would have stuck to the job I wanted him to do.

Extremely personable and detail oriented, Karl's coordination with the other contractor was flawless. No surprises and the provisions needed for the new fixtures and appliances were flawless. Over a period of a week, Karl visited the work location in my kitchen a total of three times, 1 for planning,1 for coordination with the other contractor, and then 1 for work execution. There were no shortcomings in the work and each hookup/install was thoroughly tested. Neatness and appearance of the installed items was exactly as hoped for. The work execution took only two hours since all parts and tools were in hand at the start. Karl was prepared to work and worked steadily. No rework was needed.

We started our project by selecting contractors from Angie's List to interview, but after meeting Karl Parker, we knew he was the contractor to do the job. Karl is very professional, and took the time to design our kitchen with us and to explain the process. He made suggestions to the design that we ended up loving in the end. The cost of the project was less than we expected, and we ended up with more, high quality features in our kitchen. Karl is a true craftsman and a perfectionist. He is not satisfied until the job is done right. His crew is hand picked to do each phase of the project and each of them did excellent work. Karl made sure the job site was cleaned up at the end of each day before we came home, which we greatly appreciated. We will definitely be calling Karl Parker and All American Design and Construction for our next job in the Spring. We can highly recommend this company for their quality of work and for their professionalism. No matter what size job you are considering, you will not be disappointed.

Karl and his crew had just finished remodeling the kitchen and I am very pleased with the work they did. Two years ago I had the master bathroom and guest bathroom remodeled from floor to ceiling from another contractor Marvin and Son. During the kitchen demolition Karl and his crew discovered on the wall behind the cabinets a leak from the guest bathroom. Karl and his crew had to stop work on the kitchen to find the source of the leak. They discovered that there was a leak coming from the guest bathroom. It was revealed that the previous contractor did not seal the fixtures properly causing the water to pool behind the kitchen cabinets. As the repair work began on the guest bathroom, more problems were revealed another leak appeared on the other wall coming from the master bathroom. Again, Karl investigated and found the source of the leak. The shower in the master bathroom was not properly sealed, which caused water to soak the wood on the curb which then flowed under the guest bathroom. Needless to say the master bathroom shower had to be stripped of the current tile on the floor, the wall, the curb, and the sheet rock had to be replaced, and the shower pan which was incorrectly built. As for the guest bathroom the entire floor was replaced because of the improper installation of the toilet from the previous contractor. The bathtub was removed and replaced with a shower. So demolition began in both bathrooms by Karl and his crew to remodel from floor to ceiling and make all the necessary corrections that would bring both bathrooms up to code. I appreciated all the information that Karl gave to us about what he was doing and what the proper materials should have been used to begin with. Karl guided us step by step throughout the process. At the end of the remodel we were very impressed and pleased with the outcome. Karl and his crew did an excellent job on the bathroom remodels and are A+ in my book. We are very pleased with the outcome. I would highly recommended All American Design and Construction to all of my friends and anyone for any remodels that they may have.

After Last review, Karl made a very good "good faith" effort to get in contact with us. We subsequently have met several times and have found Karl to be a very "straight shooter". He has opinions about how things "should" go and will not be shy about letting you know. This is all said in a good way in that Karl bases his advice on past experience in ways that will ultimately benefit the homeowner in ways that the homeowner has "no clue." We are close to getting a contract together for an EXTENSIVE remodel of our kitchen and Karl is close to getting the contract.

Karl was great. He came over to look at our upstairs balcony which was leaking into the living space downstairs. We had damage to the ceiling in the downstairs office which will require the ceiling being torn out and replaced. The old acoustical ceiling has asbestos in it so they can't help pull the old one out, but he was able to seal up the leak for us until we can get someone to come out and pull out the old ceiling. Then we can find the exact location of the leak and see if further work will have to be done on the balcony.. This was a great help since we have had so much rain recently.

He worked me in quickly & was very thorough. He did not try to convince us to do more & he gave me several estimates to we which way would fit our budget.

I've used Angie?s list to help decide what contractor I should go with for the work that needed to be done. The goal was to remodel the entire kitchen from floor to ceiling, appliances, etc. I received some bids from several contractors; I met with each one that gave me a bid. I decided to go with All American Design and Construction. Once I met Karl I knew this he was the contractor that I wanted for the job. During the demolition of the kitchen, and with the removal of the cabinets, additional problems were revealed. The exposed wall adjacent to the guest bathroom was wet and mold had begun to grow on the wall and floor boards. The wall was so wet that it took little effort to remove it with your bare hand. Karl and his crew showed us the wall and opened it up further. When it was opened, you could literally see the water pooling at the wall in the kitchen. Apparently water had been pooling there for some time. Two years ago, the guest bathroom and master bathroom were both remodeled from floor to ceiling by another contractor Steve of Marvin and Son, which I selected from Angie?s list. At this point work on the kitchen was temporarily put on hold. Upon further investigation Karl and his crew found the source of the leak. The fixtures (showerhead, faucet and spout) in the guest bathroom were never sealed, so whenever the shower was used water would leak behind the wall, under the bathtub and pool at the kitchen wall. Karl sealed the fixtures, so we could continue to use the shower.Karl and his crew replaced the damaged wall so that the kitchen remodel could continue. The kitchen was completed, which by the way they did an excellent job. Karl and his crew installed porcelain floor tiles, granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, solid wood cabinets and the custom paint job. Karl is such craftsman and perfectionist at what he does and it is reflected in his work. Karl and his crew are professional, courteous, knowledgeable, detail oriented, respectful of the house and cleaned up after themselves at the end of the work day. All American Design and Construction is the company that we would recommend to anyone looking for any home improvement projects and remodeling jobs large or small. They are first class in quality, cost, professionalism, and great work ethic. This is the company we will use for any future remodels. Great Job!

Very professional. However we did not use him for the project. I would definitly consider him for future projects. He offered wonderful solutions.

From the flooring and baseboard install in the master bedroom to the mini remodel in the guest bath, it took approximately a week. All areas that were worked on were left clean at the end of the work day. If there were any issues, Karl took the time to call and let us know what was going on. Every step of the projects that needed "special attention" were explained in detail by Karl.Karl also took the time to recommend fixtures for the bathroom, from the sink and the faucet to the vanity and the toilet. He kept the size of the space and our budget in mind.All work took place during our normal "9-5" working hours. Again, during the projects, areas were left clean and our other living areas were left disrupted - which we appreciated very much.

This is the second project that we've had All American Design and Construction complete for us. We were pleased with the work Karl and his team had completed for us (you can read the review) on the first project for our pantry. I mentioned to Karl that I wished our builder could have put in a kitchen range hood over our island where our cook top is. The builder insisted that they could not install a range hood because there was no way to vent it outside of the house from the center of the kitchen, and especially because our kitchen is on the first story of a two story home. Karl said he had completed a project for another client with a similar situation and it was successful. We were excited to hear this, so we found some pictures that were taken while the home was in construction, shared it with Karl, and he said it could be done! We gave some ideas of what we were looking for in a kitchen range hood, and we also needed to replace our cracked glass cook top, so Karl researched some models and designs. We picked a range hood and glass cook top and he was able to get them at a great deal for us. The total cost of the project included the purchase of these 2 items. Karl, Bob, the electrician, and Reuben, were the same team that completed our first project so I was happy to see that there wasn't a turnover in people when they came to start this project. It was completed within 4 days, and 2 of those days were just waiting for the appliances to be delivered. We were expecting a lot more cuts in our ceiling and walls, but to my amazement, Karl cut out just what he needed to climb into the ceiling and pulled the ducts through and to the outside wall location. The cook top that we chose was slightly larger than our original one so they had to cut the granite to make it fit. He advised me that the granite could split, but his work is always so careful that it was fine, and the cook top was a perfect fit. We have now been turning on our range hood when we cook on our new cook top and I love that it vents outsides! In most homes, even if you have a vent, it just sucks up the smoke and vents it back into the house. We recommend Karl and his team at All American Design and Construction for any job, big or small. If we find something else that needs work, we will be calling him again!

The work began on time. The pathway from the front door to the bath was nicely covered and protected. The tub surround, toilet, cabinet, and floor were removed. The tub surround was tiled from tub to ceiling. The floor was replaced with ceramic tile, and a new toilet, and a pedestal sink were installed. There were a few problems with the placement of the original plumbing for the new sink, and Karl moved the pipes so that the sink that I had chosen could be installed. I really appreciated that since it meant that I could have the sink that I wanted. His work was beautifully done. He is a real craftsman and cares about the quality of the work that he does. I couldn't have asked for a better job, and am really pleased with the result. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. He gave me a quality job from start to finish.

Karl did a total demo/remodel of our bathroom which included; cabinets, bath tub, toilet, sinks, granite counter, tile floor, decorative tile surround/tub, electrical work/light fixtures and paint. This is the second time we've used All American Design and Construction and am pleased that we did, and will do so again in the future. Karl did an outstanding job and always went above and beyond to meet our expectations. He worked through a couple of minor issues by working until they were fixed to his standards, which are very high. Overall we couldn't of been happier with the work performed and definitely recommend All American Design and Construction to anyone wanting an honest and competent contractor.
