Review from Jessica K.

Ambrose Builders completely renovated our outdated master bathroom. They replaced all the tile, vanity, sinks, tub, and toilet. They also rebuilt portions of the walls to change the size and shape of the tub and laundry nooks and added shelves and did some electrical work. Finally, they added beadboard and painted. We used a buffet table as a vanity, so they converted the buffet - cutting holes for plumbing, etc - and waterproofed it, etc.
Mike Ambrose was a huge help throughout the process. We even called him from various stores to talk about what we should buy. He was always available and patient with our questions. The work was done within the time frame he predicted. The work did go somewhat over budget, largely as a result of design choices we made. Overall, we are very happy with the final outcome - our bathroom looks and works great! We will definitely consider using Ambrose for future projects. -

Mike and his father are some of the nicest people you could meet. They worked diligently every day and got the job done quick. We had half of our bathroom remodeled removing the old vanity/sink, tiled the floor, and added an electrical outlet. Everything came out great and we have no complaints on any of the work.

I couldn't have asked for a better experience with a contractor! Mike Ambrose is personable, professional and precise. He provided me with advice and options while working within my original vision for the project. He even discouraged me from spending additional money on extras that didn't add value to my home! My communication with Mike was ongoing- even when I was out of town, I always knew what was happening with my bathroom renovation.
Half way through the project, the unit above me had a leak and destroyed part of the new drywall. With water pouring through my ceiling, Mike simply assured me that he would take care of everything. His "mountains into mole hills" attitude and service proved to be invaluable. I give the highest recommendation to Ambrose Builders! -

I would highly recommend Ambrose Builders to anyone looking for high quality home repair, renovation or construction work. Through the years I have hired Ambrose for various construction, renovation, soundproofing, plumbing, electrical and HVAC projects (among many others). Mike and his team have been reliable and trustworthy in their work. They truly care about their craft and want to make sure the customer understands the project and potential changes or risks. Mike makes clears up any areas of concern. I have recommended them to family and friends and have only received positive feedback on the experience others have had with Mike and his team. I am not the handiest when it comes to work around the house, so having someone like them around to help puts my mind at ease. He is the best contractor I have ever worked with and plan to use him on any projects going forward.

Ambrose builders have been super helpful in updating our 70+ year old home. From updating our electrical, installing ceiling fans, to removing a kitchen cabinet and installing a dishwasher, installing a gas line to allow us to have a gas stove, installing shelves, to providing my husband with his very own "Black Hawk man cave" (aka remodeling our basement.) This included adding can lighting, carpentry work to cover holes in the ceiling and adding new built in shelves, carpet, and the ultimate paint job. What a difference, no more 1970's dark brown room! No job is too small or too big. Everyone working for them have been fabulous: extremely patient, hard working often working late hours to finish a job. They really listen to your needs and try to stay within your budget. The work did go a little over the original estimates, but this was also due to us adding more things along the way or other unforeseen complications with an older home. We have recommended Ambrose builders to our family and friends. We also look forward to them doing future bathroom and kitchen remodeling.

Established in 2005
It's a long story.
Meet the Business Owner: Mike A.
I started out building forts in my parents and friends' back yards and in their trees...and even a few on city-owned land next to an off ramp. We used wood, windows and whatever else we found in the garbage, in our dad's garages or wherever else we could find it. One of our forts even had a fireplace, a few had skylights, one had a tiled foyer and most all of them were carpeted (recycled carpet of course). The cops didn't like the fireplace BTW!
Years later in high school my dad would always tell me "Don't be a carpenter for a living, do something with your life." He's been through a few housing downturns in his days. I tried to get away from it but just couldn't. Liked it too much. Started Ambrose Builders in 2005 after 5 years of running my painting company while studying construction management.
7+ years and 1 recession later I still love what I do.
