Dude in the white Chevy Silverado on so Tacoma way at 8:20am on 3/6/25 needs to chill out. Horrible driver, super aggressive, speeding and tail gating. Totally unsafe and uncalled for. Nothing should be more important than the lives of school children, but apparently this company thinks so, since I’m not the first person to report this awful behavior.

I’m a school bus driver, I’m on the road all the time and I have never written a negative review for a business vehicle, This Company van drove very aggressively. I had to honk my horn. He looked like he was going to hit me so I honked my horn. like I should’ve just assumed he was going to stop. I’m not sure why people don’t drive these vehicles knowing that they represent their company and their driving habits reflect poorly on the company.

I’ve worked with Dylan for years, and will forever use him and American West for my general construction needs. Dylan, truly cares about his client’s happiness on the work being performed but stands behind it.

In the run up to painting the side of my house, I removed some damaged trim wood and found rot underneath. I called AWC and Dylan came out to take a look. He gave me a worst-case estimate and a month or so later Phil came out to fix it. The rot was worse than expected the studs were completely worn away along with all the sheeting for a very substantial area the block windows needed to be replaced structural beams replaced siding replaced not just in the initial area but in extensive other areas as well. Over the course of five days Phil was super efficient and reframed that part of the house, installed new windows (just say no to blocks), put up new siding, and caulked everything. and thanks to Raul who came and cleaned up everything. It was spotless including all the nails and broken glass. I have nothing but good things to say about AWC and the entire process that we went through. I really hope that we will be able to work with him again as other parts of our house need help.

We were worried about our roof, and I was referred to American West by a friend. I phoned, Dylan came by the very next morning on his way from his home to work at American West. He assured us our roof was fine for at least 2 more years, gave us a full inspection report, and suggested for us to do a small amount of moss removal and had instructions for that in the report. No charge, a quick and honest evaluation of our roof, so when it is time to repair or replace our roof I won't call anyone else!

Had a complete roof replacement with some new sheeting provided and wood work at my garage/breezeway transition. I received estimates from 6 other "roofing" companies with no luck. Didn't feel comfortable with either the bid or the company proposing the work. Was told to give American West a call and extremely happy I did. Dylan came out and discussed all the options and from the get go I knew this was different. Very knowledgeable, up front and communication was outstanding.

When the crew came out, they were pleasant, worked around some vines we wanted to save, which was a pain, cleaned up nicely and just did an outstanding job. Very pleased with the work..

Roofing costs have gotten crazy, but had no regrets writing out a check to these guys. Highly recommend!!

My wife and I have a large home and had three bids from reputable roofing companies. Prior to committing to one of the companies, a friend recommended American West.
Dylan, from American West, provided a very competitive bid and was very responsive to our questions and concerns. We decided to go with American West and we could not be more satisfied. They completed the job (32 squares) within the time-frame that Dylan had prepared us for and left the place clean and restored. I highly recommend this company!!!! Thank you Dylan!!!!

I rarely write reviews. However, in my 30 years of driving I have never been the victim of road rage until now. One of their vans drove extremely recklessly, violating traffic laws and nearly caused a collision. I did nothing wrong and yet he proceeded to continuously cut me off for a couple of miles. I personally would not hire a company who employs people that display such a complete disregard for public safety and who have no respect.

I had the trim around my house painted, Tyler was the painter..... He was an AMAZING young man who displayed ultimate customer service and took pride in his job... I know I have have an area to finish at no fault to you guys, but I’m looking forward to having Tyler come back and finish the job...

Thank you

Wr recently had our roof replaced and after 3 bids from 3 different companies, American West came back with a very competitive price. After a little communication back and forth with them in regards to some questions we had we were sold. Extremely friendly, fast response time and quality was to notch. They were finished with our roof in just a couple days and left our home so clean it was as if they were never here. Thank you American west contracting! We look forward to having you side our home next spring! I highly recommend these guys to anyone needing any contractor services. Pleasure doing business with you.
Sincerely, Evin and Nikki Sleddervedder

What a terrific job! We needed our gross, decaying retaining wall replaced. From estimate to completion smooth as silk, no surprises, and now looks so lovely it's an addition to the houses value. Very pleased!

I referred this company because they had done previous work for clients, they put a bid together and on five occasions were no-shows or were late to the job. My clients home is scheduled to close in two weeks and they had to cancel their services because of lack of commitment and professionalism.
The job foreman Mike hung up on the phone from my client with no apologies for their lack of follow up and professionalism.

Always ensure you get a written contract that outlines the scope of work, timeline, and payment terms.

4. How to check if a roofing company is legit?
+-

Check if a roofing company is legit by verifying their business license, insurance, and local certifications. Look for memberships in professional associations, read customer reviews, and ask for recent project references. A legitimate company will be transparent and provide all documentation upon request.

5. How to choose a roofing company?
+-

When choosing a roofing company, consider their experience, customer reviews, warranty offerings, and quality of materials. Make sure they provide clear communication, detailed estimates, and a solid portfolio of completed projects. Local expertise is also a major advantage for understanding regional roofing needs.

6. How do you know if your roofing contractor is ripping you off?
+-

Warning signs that your roofing contractor might be ripping you off include vague contracts, pressure to pay large upfront deposits, lack of proper documentation, and unexplained price increases. Always ask for itemized estimates and written guarantees, and avoid contractors who avoid answering your questions directly.
