I have a problem making friends, mostly because either the wife doesn't get along with my wife, or the husband is a tool, or in some cases the kids that they have are nightmares, I mean, there are so many variables..and then if I try to make friends with single folks, guy, girl, or whatever, then that can open up all sorts of questions and potential issues…but in the event a friendship actually occurs, well then yes, Allen will be first on the list.

Top notch client care from beginning to end!

Communication

Communication - 4--major. If I could give 1000, I would. They were very good.

In 2017, our family home was lost in the Thomas Fire, but out of that devastation and sadness came our later association with Allen Construction. We now marvel at our good fortune. From the very outset and through the entire process, the management and supervision of our project by the Allen Team, headed by our Project Manager Daniel Mault and our on-site Superintendent, Mr. Richard McLaughlin, was remarkable. Every phase of construction was planned, organized, clearly communicated, and decisively dispatched. We especially appreciate that the Allen Team uses their experience to establish long-term relationships and contract with other highly-qualified professionals, so providing both superior workmanship and support of the local community. Now as we settle into our new home, we gaze about in wonder and admiration, noticing anew the myriad architectural features, the exquisite design, the careful attention to detail, the superb craftsmanship and construction. Indeed, it is Allen Construction who led to the extremely fortunate connection with our talented architect, Mr. Tom Henson of the firm Becker, Henson, Niksto Architects. The close relationship between the architectural firm and Allen Construction ensured Mr. Henson’s consultation through every detail of planning, design, and construction. The Allen Team is exceptional in their ability to set and maintain a schedule, drawing on their extensive resources to execute work, even now in these uncertain and challenging times wrought by Covid-19. Without a doubt, much credit is owed to the experience and skill of our on-site Superintendent / Supervisor, Mr. Richard McLaughlin. Perhaps it is due to Allen Construction being an employee-owned company that explains the unusual degree of personal interest and attention given to the build by members of the Allen Team. As owners, it was telling and memorable to witness CEO Aaron Pick, Vice President Eric Johnson and Project Manager Daniel Mault, take the time to visit the site and “our project” during the course of construction. It is this sense of vested interest that truly sets Allen apart and ensures the professionalism, quality of work, and pride of construction for each and every project.The commitment, integrity, and expertise of Allen Construction is unmatched. Our new home was built to exacting standards - safe, solid, secure. A home we deem welcoming, comfortable and all-in-all rather spectacular.Our gratitude is enduring,Margery and Lucinda R.

Not only did the Allen Team prepare a detailed and accurate replacement cost estimate, they were willing to communicate with our insurance adjuster. The knowledge, experience and integrity of Allen Construction ensured that their presentation, from the contractor's perspective, was forceful and effective.

it was all good and even under estimate.

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - We are extremely pleased with both the experience and the results.

We couldn't be happier with Allen Construction. They are exceptionally nice people, and very professional. They not only did a great job rebuilding our house after a major mudslide, but they expertly navigated the complicated permitting and inspection processes. The reconstruction of damaged areas and the remodeling on other parts of the house were seamless.

Allen construction restored my mud damaged home in very difficult conditions. They also accommodated endless insurance company demands. Some of my neighbors were "fired" by their contractors due to the burden of insurance hassles. Allen Construction absorbed this overhead and were remarkably patient with the bank's payment "schedule" (more like non-payment). I cannot recommend them more highly. The most important part of working with Allen Construction was the integrity of each person in my home. Matthew Caliguire, Ian Cronshaw, Alain, Zach and countless subcontractors were all trusted and proved themselves every day.

I live in an old house which Allen Care and Repair has always kept looking new!

The work isn't completed yet, but when I complained about the front door, ALLEN Care & Repair redid it with no complaints and no extra charge!

We did the remodel of our condominium in Goleta remotely from St. Louis. Both the design team and construction team were excellent. Greg and Tyson were responsive to our requests and concerns. We had great communication and spoke to either Greg or Tyson or both everyday or every other day. Both had great attention to detail in the design phase and construction phase. The subcontractors they used were also great and easy to work with. Greg watched our budget carefully and we were able find materials or solutions to our ideal concept in or close to our budget. It has been a pleasure to work with everyone at Allen Construction and the subcontractors they used. I feel lucky to have found Allen Construction to remodel our home and highly recommend them without any reservations.

Our project manager went above and beyond all expectations. Ryan worked so hard to make our project as painless as possible.

Top notch start to finish

The Allen team went above and beyond to do a high quality job. My wife and I are elated.
