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.

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
