What North County Homeowners Are Saying
Real reviews from home remodeling clients in Encinitas, Carlsbad, Oceanside, Vista, and San Marcos. 5-Star Rated on Google, Yelp & Houzz
"If you're looking to hire a contractor, stop looking and hire Ambar Builders. Never in my life did I think I would have such an amazing experience from a complete home remodel. Our project was a full gut job and included a kitchen addition, city permit, and multiple city inspections. I've heard all the horror stories about nightmare contractors who do shoddy work, don't show up or who nickel and dime you. I can confidently say without a doubt that Alex is the most genuine, honest and stand up guy you'll come across not only as a contractor but as a person. I truly mean it when I say to stop shopping around for a contractor and just hire Ambar. They are the only contractor l would ever hire or recommend. I can't thank Alex and his team enough for everything and for turning my old home into the home of my dreams!"

"I interviewed about 10 contractors, and we decided to put our faith in Ambar Builders due to response time, experience, and confidence. His pricing was not the cheapest, nor the most expensive, but he never changed the price of the initial estimate which is amazing! We actually added on side projects along the way and he did a great job with those as well. In short, if you're having a hard time selecting a contractor for your home project, place your bets on Alex and his team. We will be going with Ambar to redo our kitchen in a year or so, the only thing left in the house to upgrade."
Michael, San Clemente (via Yelp)
"Wow!
We had some creative ideas and Ambar, Alex and his team made it all happen. So beautiful. A completely new feel to our home. Very happy!
Thank you!"
