We have nothing but great things to say about Amerex from beginning to the end of the renovation process. We are thrilled with the end result which has met and exceeded our expectations with complete confidence that all work was done to a high standard. Every person from Steve through to the office staff and Eric the supervisor, along with the tradesmen used, were great to deal with. We couldn't recommend highly enough.

If you are looking for trusted builder for your renovation and extend project, choose Amerex, you will be in good hands.
Steve is a quality builder who have the heart to help you build a great quality home. Having hearts to do quality build is rare nowadays I think. He picks the right team and right tradies and they make sure you are happy with the progress. I never heard of Amerex before, I picked Amerex based on reading their good google reviews and my first meeting with Steve who has shown his well knowledge and experience which can help renovate and expend my very old house. Very sceptical

What sets Steve apart is his attention to detail and his integrity, and that of his contractors and staff. Whatever you
