Architectural Builders of Hampstead, Inc.

Simon and his crew did an awesome job on our new home. They were great to work with. Simon often had suggestions about ways to improve the look of our home. He built the house from the ground up. We were very pleased with the final results. Simon was also great in explaining how things worked and getting the work done when he said he would. He was always available to answer any questions we had and walked us through the process as it was our first home built from the ground up. His integrity was outstanding. He did the right thing to deliver a quality finished product. We would highly recommend Simon to anyone interested in working with a great contractor to build a great home! We were fortunate to find Simon and take advantage of his exceptional knowledge of the home building process. He delivered our dream home as promised and when promised.

Simon and his team are true professionals. They are experienced and knowledgeable… always willing to discuss options and consult on the best method of building, material selection and design to deliver quality craftsmanship. We have a newborn and Simon’s team worked to be as least intrusive as possible, flexible with scheduling and accommodating my family when necessary. The guys were neat and clean everyday. The final product was everything we hoped, new decking, siding and structural repair and many detailed finishes such as glass railings and custom under-decking, with PVC columns. They used proper materials for ocean side elements and we will bring Simon and team back for many more upcoming projects.

I would like to write a quick review on some of the many positive and unique characteristics maintained by Architectural Builders of Hampstead throughout the construction of our home. From the very beginning of our project the cooperation and positive attitude towards the work at hand was above and beyond my wildest imagination. The owner of the company (Simon) went out of his way time and again to cater to our needs so that we were extremely happy as the project progressed. The quality of craftmanship was 2nd to none and the determination to do things correctly was unsurpassed. When a change in scope occurred, the Owner was fair and forthright and it was never anything less than a pleasurable experience. My wife and I consider ourselves very, very fortunate to have found such an exceptional company to build our dream home.

Simon and his team of contractors did a superb job. If your looking for a design/build professional that is honest, hard working, cost conscious, you can do no better than Simon/Architectural Builders of Hampstead, Inc. He is totally committed to you and your project. I would highly recommend Architectural Builders of Hampstead, Inc.

We have worked with Simon of Architectural Builders of Hampstead to act as a general contractor for multiple projects and have been extremely happy with the attention to detail and hard work attributed to each home. Simon values the importance of communication and working as a team, his attention to detail and attentiveness to the project as a whole shows very clearly in the quality of the final outcome. Simon Ackerman is a “hidden gem “ and I would highly recommend Architectural Builders of Hampstead.

Architectural Builders are first class professionals! They arrive on time, know exactly what they are doing and provide a quality product. Simon and Tim only want to please. We have hired Simon for many home projects over the years and would give the highest recommendation to his company. We have a very high end home that requires meticulous attention to detail. They stay within the budget and deadline every time. They never fail to deliver. I trust them implicitly with my home.

We hired Simon to do a major attic build-out and it turned out great. He was helpful throughout the design process and when unforeseen changes had to be made. Simon and his crew were respectful and finished our project in a timely manner. I would highly recommend using Architectural Builders of Hampstead.

Simon is the ultimate professional. I contracted him to frame my house. He did a fantastic job so I had him do the siding and the roof. Then the finish work. He is on time, his work is impeccable, and his price is more than fair for the value he brings to any project.

I am an architect who specializes in high quality residential architecture. Based on a recent project experience I would recommend Simon and his company, Architectural Builders of Hampstead. The houses we design are prototypes; custom pieces of architecture that are developed with our clients who are proud to eventually call them home. It takes a great builder who wants to be a part of the team to understand this and successfully achieve these works of living art, Simon is this and more. Along with the architectural elements and spaces these homes create, the details we utilize to construct them are on the leading edge of building technologies for superior performance and energy efficiency. I was particularly impressed with Simons ability to not only execute the details we called four, but to take the time to understand them and utilize his many years of experience as a builder to give additional input to make them even better. The outcome from this type of colaberation is a quality build and design for our client, which Simon is constantly striving to achieve, and as and architect, that is what I want to see in the various builders, framers, and trades on my projects. Simons demeanor, patience, and personality makes him an ideal builder to work with from and architects point of view, and this was mirrored in the client interactions I saw him undertake. The attention to detail and ability to take the time to understand the design intent puts simon in the top tier of builders I’ve worked with in my 15 years as a professional in the architecture field.

I have hired Architectural Builders on Four different projects over the last several years. The most recent was a new construction lake house on Sunset lake. Simon Ackerman is by far, one of the most professional, patient and easiest going contractors I have ever dealt with. I would highly recommend Architectural Builders and look forward to working with Simon and his crew again.. Kevin B

I hired Architectural Builders of Hampstead, Inc for the reputation that the owner Simon Ackerman has within the profession. I am a general contractor who has built over 300 custom homes, many in the several millions of dollar range. These homes are not your average everyday builds and can be quite challenging. The particular home that I hired Architectural Builders for was on the ocean and had numerous complicated design specifications such as: structural steel, mansard slate roof, multiple angles, numerous peaks & valleys custom decks, and custom vinyl trim. In my initial search for a framer, many of whom I have used in the past, declined the project because of the complication of the build. However, several mentioned that the only company that they would trust this build to, was Architectural Builders of Hampstead, Inc and in particular to Simon Ackerman. In the course of the build there were several changes and challenging issues that came up all of which were handled in a timely professional manner with no compromise of quality or standard professional procedures. Simon Ackerman and his staff were professional, courteous & dedicated to the task. They always went above and beyond working as a team and often helping other sub contractors with material handling and coordinating efforts in design & build applications. Their work ethic was second to none. They were the first crew there in the morning and the last to leave. They worked on weekends, holidays and during inclement weather that was quite rough at times as one can imagine working directly on the Ocean. I was so impressed with their efforts, professionalism & standards that I gave them additional work such as siding, installation of a custom pergola system etc. I highly recommend Architectural Builders of Hampstead, Inc and Simon Ackerman. Thank - You John Alosso J. Alosso Associates, LLC General Contractor & Developer

Simon Ackerman is a top notch professional who can tackle any project no matter how difficult or complex. When I build my next home Simon will be the first person I call.

Simon did a major remodel on our house adding a whole second floor to a one story ranch. The workmanship was beautiful. His crew and the sub-contractors that he hired were all professional and respectful of our opinion and needs. The work was done in an extremely timely manner. I would highly recommend Simon as a builder. If we knew the addition would make such a difference in our lives we would have done it sooner. Simon gave us great recommendations throughout the project, like adding a gas fireplace that we love!

Simon did an impeccable job on our home. He pays attention to detail and the job was done on time. We couldn't be happier with a builder. We would highly recommend his company.
