Korling Construction has been working on residential and commercial projects all over Southern California since 1996. Founder and president, Amboy Korling, has a deep passion for construction which led him to develop and manage projects in Costa Rica, Israel and all over United States. Service is our number one priority.
We believe that communication is the foundation to any good relationship and that is why we walk our clients through every step of the project, to make the process as smooth and pleasant as possible. I've worked with Amboy a number of times and he is always professional, courteous and fair. I really appreciate the time he has spent brain storming on how to tackle problems and make the most efficient use of my dollars.
We have an older home and he has been great about identifying potential problems and finding unique ways to solve them. There is always solution he says! I would definitely recommend Amboy and his team. Amboy and crew put in some attic stairs for us. He was easy to work with and clear about what was included in the pricing.

Korling Construction worked with me in the installation of earthquake bolt/bracing for our house. Not only were they professional, but on time, very efficient, safe(covid times) and competitive pricing. Amboy was friendly, professional and responsive to my many requests. A true “one stop shop”!

Korling Construction recently completed work as a part of the $3000 Earthquake Brace and Bolt Retrofit FEMA grant that I received to cover a portion of the cost. https://www.earthquakebracebolt.com
My home was built in the 1950s and is now attached to foundation with heavy metal plates every 6' around the perimeter of our crawlspace.
The price included permits and hardware and installation and numerous uploads of docs and images to the EBB website. The work was done over two consecutive work days. Now our home is better braced against the "Big One" thanks to Korling and his

We recently moved into an older house and needed more storage. Amboy came out and with his help we determined that the garage attic was the logical space. The day of the project Amboy arrived on time and got right to work. He installed stairs leading up to the attic and strong, reinforced, floors that can hold a significant amount of weight. Not only is Amboy a true professional and passionate about his work, he is a joy to be around and we had a great time. I'll definitely be working with him again.

When we decided to move to Carpinteria we put out a call for contractors and Amboy responded first. We are so glad he did. While we stayed in an AirBnB condo for a month, Amboy and his crew totally remodeled our kitchen, painted all the walls, put in floors, made two spaces into functioning closets and put up various light fixtures, installed a window and pet doors in the garage and various other things I've forgotten about. The best thing was he got everything finished in the 6-week time frame we had, so we were able to move in on time.
He was so friendly and helpful, always respectful of

After a bad experience with another contractor, I found Amboy through Yelp. We hired Korling Construction to remodel a bathroom in my condo and install a washer/dryer unit. Little did I know how much work this would actually be! Because the condo is an older unit, there were lots of pre-existing issues with electrical and plumbing. I am SO glad that we found the right man for the job.
He worked so hard to finish the job in a timely manner and make sure the electrical and plumbing worked in a challenging space!
Amboy walked me through every step of the job and explained what needed to be done

Amboy Korling did an outstanding job repairing my cracked drywall ceiling & painting the entire ceiling. He came first to do an inspection, discussed all available options & gave me a clear, concise quote (& even did more things that weren't quoted) During the few days of work, he was always on time, kept me up to date, showed
me progress & was very professional/knowledgeable. Additionally he kept my furniture/fixtures well covered during the work & very thoroughly cleaned up when he was done. I would highly recommend Amboy & Korling Construction for any job big or

In November of this year I needed an earthquake retrofit of my house. After a certain amount of research, I decided upon Korling Construction. From the very beginning of our interaction, he established parameters, was clear about prices, carefully analyzed the situation asking questions, and answered my own completely. After establishing the work that needed to be done, the price, and any kind of arrangements for contingencies, he began the work in good time.
During the several days of work, he kept me up to date on what was happening and showed me the progress. He was responsive, pleasant and

Stop searching. You have found the best. I searched for a construction company to remodel part of my home and immediately Korling Construction caught my attention among the dozen or so businesses I contacted. Amboy Korling was the fastest to respond, the only to offer an immediate estimate, and he helped us find a cabinet maker - all on the same day I first contacted him. I was very impressed with his work ethic and he hadn't even started. My wife and I chose Korling for the job and the work he performed was outstanding. He's fast, does quality work, pays attention to detail, and is a

Could not be more thrilled with Amby and his construction company. He was everything you would want in a contractor: knowledgeable, patience, solution oriented, looking out for my bottom line, and most importantly, concerned for the safety of my children. We have an old deck that is in need of repair (someday) but for now fixing pieces at a time. My solution was a simple "band-aid" approach, however, upon further inspection, Amboy discovered a slightly bigger problem---but no problem for him! He went out to his truck, and in a matter of minutes, returned to the deck with boards, nails

Most trustworthy contractor in the area, I just hope he will stay this way. He came highly recommended by friends and he gave us a budget that was best out of all contractors we talked to. He built my guest house and I have received everything that he promised - on time and at the price he budgeted for. He has best attitude and never gets angry even when sometime it's rough. I've worked with many contractors before- by far Amboy was my best experience!

Amboy is great. He will go above and beyond to get you the best price guaranteed. He built my home studio here in Carpinteria, and went out to find a door in a friends studio saving me thousands. He beats out everyone's prices in the area and I can GUARANTEE YOU you will not finding anyone nicer and more friendly than this guy. One of the most likable people I have ever met .
He gets thing done totally on time no matter how rigorous, is the most professional, and most importantly he truly truly cares about you and what your building; looking out for you on every step.

My husband contacted Amboy through Thumbtack to help us with some interior walls in our son's bedroom. The closet was the full length of the wall, with 2 narrow doors leading into it. It was a lot of wasted space, and not practical. We knew we needed to fix it, but of course the work was way above our capabilities. Amboy came all the way out to Simi Valley for the bid and was the friendliest and most fairly priced person we spoke with regarding this project. Other contractors said the job was too big, while others said it was too small and didn't give us the time of day. On the day of
