Get to Know Us
Before any work begins, we take time to understand you, your home, and your goals. The first step in our process is focused on discovery through careful inspection, thoughtful design, and clear communication. We collaborate with you to build a plan that makes sense long before construction starts.
American Contracting is a family business started by two local brothers, and for more than 20 years we’ve shaped our process around experience, honesty, and the details that make a project last.

Common questions
FAQs
We’ve put together answers to the most common questions about remodeling. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, contact American Contracting Services, LLC and we’ll be glad to help.
How Soon Should I Start Planning my Remodel?
We recommend booking at least four weeks in advance for smaller projects. For larger or time-sensitive renovations, it’s best to get started early so the planning stays smooth and you can fully enjoy the design-build experience.
What Does American Contracting Services, LLC Specialize in?
We primarily focus on shower remodeling, tub-to-shower conversions, and full bathroom renovations. We also have a skilled exterior remodeling team and a complete design-build group for whole-home projects, including kitchens, additions, in-law suites, and other large-scale residential renovations.
What Makes American Contracting Services Different From Every Other Contractor in Hampton Roads?
What sets American Contracting apart is our ability to adapt to each homeowner’s vision and project scale. We are not limited to one type of work and can handle a wide range of projects with the same level of care and organization. Our diverse team allows us to manage every part of the job efficiently through a proven system that keeps projects on track from start to finish.
With more than 20 years in business and deep roots in the Hampton Roads area, we are not a pop-up company. We are part of the community we build for.
How Long Do Typical Remodels Take?
For shower remodels or tub-to-shower conversions, projects can often be completed in as little as one day. Larger renovations, such as home additions, naturally take more time and can span several months. It’s best to start a conversation with our team early so we can outline the process, timeline, and budget that fit your goals.
Do You Offer Free Consultations or Estimates?
Yes. We provide free, no-obligation consultations to help you understand your options, timeline, and budget before any work begins. Our design-build team will meet with you to discuss your goals, take measurements, and provide a clear estimate so you can make informed decisions with confidence.
What Areas Does American Contracting Serve?
We primarily serve homeowners in Chesapeake, Suffolk, Norfolk, Virginia Beach, and the Outer Banks. We also take on projects across the Peninsula, including Newport News and Yorktown.
