ACUMEN BUILDERS

We had a perfect experience with Acumen Builders and Scott Gormley. We were complete novices when it came to contractors, home renovations etc. and had the usual concerns when we started the process of finding a contractor. Scott's work and business ethic put all our concerns to rest quite quickly. He is extremely patient, punctual and a great communicator at every step of the way. He always kept us posted on when to expect communication, i.e. quotes, revised quotes, contracts etc. His quotes were no-nonsense and straight-forward, unlike some others, where it is hard to decipher the bottom-line price. He mentioned during our very first conversation, he usually isn't the cheapest quote, but it turned out that Acumen's pricing was competitive in the end, compared to other "A" rated companies. Scott made several trips to our home with various tradesman before work started, to make sure we were all on the same page with regards to the scope of work. He moved his work schedule around on short notice to accommodate our job. We were out of town for the two weeks the majority of the work were done and Scott kept us updated with emails, calls and photos of the demolition and new build work. He orchestrated numerous tradesmen for the various stages of the job and dealt with some unforeseen, time consuming occurrences (a persistent gas leak for one,) as often is the case when one starts working on older homes - and finished the job on time as promised. True to form and reputation, Scott is also super responsive and thorough with any "after-service" questions we might have. We are absolutely thrilled with the quality of work that was provided and love the end-result and the new look of our home. We will definitely use Acumen for any future renovations and cannot recommend the company highly enough.

This was a project that required a very short notice and with a tight deadline in order to complete prior to installation of new flooring. Fortunately Scott was available to fit in between other projects. Work started on time and completed on time with planned schedule. Scott Gormley is a terrific contractor to work with and one you can trust to provide the best advice as well as exceptionally honest and straightforward.

We determined that Acumen was really more for larger scale remodeling project than my laundry list of windows, skylight, entry door repair and patio covers. I appreciated their time to come out and discuss my projects and options.

His main concern was how I came about his business. He didn't focus on the tasks that didn't need to be done. It was an unpleasant experience and he wasn't very nice. He wasn't welcoming and comfortable.

Scott did an amazing job brining my vision into reality! He was very competent, friendly and professional. I'd rate Acumen Builders an A+ and I'll definitely use them for any work I need done in the future!

Scott was very helpful to us as we needed a little guidance in what all we wanted to have done. He was very professional in his knowledge of what all was involved and how to get it all done. We were not in any hurry to have things done in a specific timeframe but they were timely in all of their work. The results were great and they were very careful and tidy with their work. It was a great experience working with him.

Acuman Builders ( Scott) did an excellent job with our tear out and installation of our new Mexican tile floor. His bid was $800.00 less than the next lowest bid. His men worked over the weekend demolished and installed. By the time we returned on Monday it was nearly complete- just as Scott had promised. The work was of top quality and Scott was very easy to work with. Our new floor is beautiful and the whole process went smoothly. I would recommend Acumen Builders to anyone.

Scott is very knowledgeable. He was great at taking our ideas, which were all over the place, and helped us hone in on the things that were the most important to us. It was like a remodel counseling session. It was great. When he left we felt as though our vision was more defined and improved from our original concepts. We definitely look forward to working with Acumen.

I did not want and surprise when I start my building project so I asked Scott Gormley to research all the local building codes for my property. Scott Gormley did a superior job with my request, asked for a little down and the rest when the research was completed. Scott came to my home and took many notes and pictures and then in about a week, produced paperwork with all the zoning codes for my property and told me that my project wold meet all the codes. I'm just waiting now for the blueprints from the company that will do the building and I will then ask Scott to get me the permits needed. If you want someone that has complete knowledge of local building codes before you start a project; you want SCOTT! I highly recommend ACUMEN Builders! (a·cu·men??kyo?om?n?aky?-nounnoun: acumen1. the ability to make good judgments and quick decisions, typically in a particular domain.) They got the right person and the right word for their business!

Fabulous. End results were better than anticipated. Scott was professional and very thorough. He took the time to clearly define the scope of work and waited for confirmed quotes from his sub-contractors before finalizing the total project cost. End result -- no surprises, no change orders, and no extra charges. We could not have made a better choice than Acumen Builders. We would highly recommend them and would gladly be a reference.
