We wish there were more than 5 stars to give!! Ambassador Home Improvement exceeded our expectations with their work on our home extension project. From the moment we met Gary, we knew we were in good hands. His professionalism and expertise set him apart from other contractors we had considered. Gary listened attentively to our vision and worked with us to bring it to life (all within our budget)! He truly is the best there is and you can understand why his company has been in business for 30 years when you meet him! Not only was Gary incredible to work with, but we were extremely fortunate to have Doug Foote as our project manager. Doug’s attentiveness is beyond compare. From the initial planning stages to the final touches, Doug was always available to address any concerns or questions we had along the way. Doug coordinated seamlessly with Gary and the team, ensuring that everything progressed smoothly and according to schedule. Our project included a rear living room extension, a modern kitchen renovation, walk in pantry, and new flooring and windows throughout our home. We also enhanced our backyard space with masonry work, an outdoor bar, and a fireplace. During the course of our project, Doug went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and desires. We had several discussions with him about potential changes and additional upgrades and the end result surpassed anything we could have imagined all within the original time frame discussed! We are incredibly grateful for Gary, Doug and the entire team’s commitment to delivering exceptional quality and ensuring our complete satisfaction throughout the entire process. We highly recommend Ambassador Home Improvement and look forward to using them for future projects!

After using Ambassador Home Improvement to renovate our den and install new vinyl siding in 2022, we had them come back in late 2023 to renovate our kitchen. Once again, we are very pleased with their work. Our project manager, Doug Foote, was responsive, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to deal with. We also worked with Dan Motz, their kitchen & bath designer, who was patient and helpful throughout. The wide selection of cabinets, countertop materials and flooring tiles at their showroom in Plainview, NY, was a great resource. We are very happy with our new kitchen, and would not hesitate to recommend Ambassador.

My husband and I hired Ambassador to install all new replacement windows a few years back and a new Bay Window from a double hung. Gary and his crew were professional from beginning to end and what impressed me was that they paid attention to important details in the workmanship; was neat and finished beautifully. We recently had a leak in the Bay Window and we called Gary and even though it’s been a few years he sent his crew to come back and assess and fix a minor issue but was big in that would resolve future water problems seeping in. To me this is super professional and he did it without charging us although we took care of his guys. This professionalism is hard to come by these days and I can’t say enough great things of the integrity and character of Gary and how he runs his business. When we are ready to redo our kitchen I know who I’m calling without hesitation, customer service goes a long way to us . Thank you!

I don’t often write reviews for work I have done but in this case I felt I needed to express the extreme satisfaction we had working with Ambassador Home Improvement. From the first meeting with Gary, who turned out to be the owner of the company, we felt that we were in good hands. Gary came to our home, and he was knowledgeable and non-pressuring. We had contacted around 13 contractors for our total remodel/dormer and of all the companies we spoke to Gary knew what he was talking about and didn’t teeter back and forth with uncertainty. He exuded confidence which in turn made my wife and I both confident with choosing Ambassador as our contractor. He looked at our house plans and within 3 minutes of looking at them picked out at least 10 error that needed to be addressed to make this project what we dreamed of. As he left my wife looked at me and we said at the same time, we’re hiring him!!! The entire experience with Ambassador Home Improvement was spectacular from start to finish. At the start of our project we were introduced to Doug Foote. He was our project manager. He was with us every step from start to finish. He was able to extinguish problems within minutes of occurrence. Every time we had a problem and I needed something Doug made it happen. Doug was and is truly a God sent during a project like this. Knowing that you have a guy fighting for your happiness without even being asked is such a refreshing thing to have on your corner when you’re doing a home project. Doug is a true asset to Ambassador. He is one of the reasons I recommend this company to everyone who needs home renovations done. In closing, all I have to say is that Ambassador home Improvements is really your one stop shop for the best experience in your home renovation. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a great experience and superb craftsmanship. I also want to say the girls that work in the office, Kathy and Michele were also so helpful to us, Just wanted to add that. Like I said it was an all around great experience.

I never write reviews but felt compelled to share my experience with Ambassador! I was pregnant with my 4th baby and desperate for additional space when we met with Gary. Reluctant to be stuck in construction for months while pregnant I trusted in Gary and his crew who assured me they would get to work right away and get things done in a timely fashion-they have not let me down! Our project manager Doug is amazing! He is an excellent communicator, gets work done and is able to offer creative ideas! He keeps the job moving and seems to have a great rapport with the rest of his crew. Looking forward to doing more work with Gary, Doug, and the Ambassador team!

We used Ambassador for two major renovation jobs in the summers of 2020 and 2021. The first job was to finish our basement and turn our garage into a guest bedroom with an attached full bathroom. The second job was completely gutting our upstairs to create a beautiful master suite and add a hallway bathroom. This second job also included redoing our siding and gutters. We couldn’t be happier with the work Ambassador did for us (that’s why we used them twice!). The workers were prompt and courteous and the price was as quoted, which is almost unheard of in construction. They finished our punch list when they said they would, and all the work is still in good shape many months later. We would definitely use Ambassador again for our construction needs, and we highly recommend them! In fact, two of our friends in the neighborhood are using Ambassador now for major renovation projects because we recommended them so highly! If you’re looking for a professional, clean, reliable construction company, look no further than Ambassador. Their work is beautiful, they’re a pleasure to work with, and you won’t be disappointed.

Using Ambassador for our extension was an amazing experience. They made something that others view as stressful, stress free and easy. Joe lead the project, he knew every detail at all times. He was always one step ahead. He was super responsive and knowledgeable. I can’t wait for our next project!!!

We used Ambassador to add a second floor to our home. Doug was our project manager, and we were extremely happy with him, and with Ambassador in general. Doug is extremely responsive and knowledgeable. He also was excellent at making sure some work was always be done on our home, so there were very little delays / downtime. In addition, the crews that they use, all are very highly skilled individuals who take pride in their work. Overall, very happy with our choice.

We used Ambassador for a gut renovation of the first floor and an addition of a second floor. We chose Ambassador after speaking several times with Gary because we felt the proposal was complete and competitive with other contractors, had confidence they could execute with high quality and complete the job in less time than other contractors by 1-2 months, and we had known someone who used Ambassador previously and had nothing but great feedback. Our Project Manager was Doug Foote and he has been awesome! He constantly communicates with you to ensure you’re aware of the schedule, he’s responsive to my numerous questions, he takes time to fully explain issues/solutions to you in order to make educated decisions, and he’s on top of everything. He’s made this experience a great one. Overall I would highly recommend Ambassador. Gary, Doug, Dan, Kathie, and the rest of the Ambassador team are true professionals!
