G&R Construction Company

Communication!! Larry at G&R is a superb communicator. Since our job was so large, many, many details had to be considered. I was overwhelmed until I realized that Larry had me covered. Larry answered his phone within 3 rings about 95% of the time, the other 5%, I received a call-back within 15 minutes. I NEVER felt "out-of-the-loop." First, Larry walked us through the planning phase and created a payment structure that fit our needs. From there, he spent hours "shopping" with us to choose materials. Larry was super knowledgeable about which materials were superior, and the differences in types of roofing, paint, siding, cabinets, flooring etc., etc. Whenever I got short on time, Larry was able to make the right decisions about materials. I felt like Larry's flexibility would allow him to help the most "hands-on" client, to those that just want him to "do his thing." All of the permitting, regulations navigating and coordinating comes easily to G&R. The whole process went very smoothly, because Larry was always at least one step ahead of the process. Materials and labor coordinating plus city inspectors' timeline is critical in any project, and Larry handled this seamlessly. We had no slow downs or waste. Larry was able to use our budget planning to include the most cost-effective upgrades. We were able to make a more comfortable home because Larry was often able to find quality, upgraded materials at a lower-than-expected price. Larry also kept other costs to a minimum to maximize the amount of "house" we got for our money. This seemed to be G&R's ultimate goal: to build us the absolute best home possible within our budget. G&R's employees are all very professional. I would often stop by the jobsite, unannounced, to find everyone working efficiently. The crew chief regularly walked me through various tasks as they were occurring. Crew were always very safety-conscious, politely reminding me to please wear a hard-hat and eye protection while on the jobsite. The final result was that we got a much nicer house than we thought possible, given our financial constraints. The final cost of our estimated $225,000 project was within about 1%. I HIGHLY recommend G&R Construction.

Bought a HUD home and it needed some "upgrading". The home was in pretty bad shape but I knew that going in. Since it was a HUD home there were a lot of hoops I had to jump through for the bank. Luckily, Gand R Construction was pre-approved by my bank as a HUD contractor, which gave me a lot of confidence in them up front. We all know how banks are and Wells Fargo had already done the approval process for Gand R. They had checked their license, insurance, and made sure they always pay their suppliers and subcontractors, so I didn't have to worry about some kind of lien coming my way years down the road. As far as the job went, Larry, one of the owners, was on site every day until the job was done. Larry and his crew did some of the work themselves and subcontracted other parts. They all worked as a team with Larry as a great leader. They basically gave me a new house in less than two weeks. Larry was familiar with all trades and when the flooring guys tried to pull a fast one saying that the tile had to be cut to the wall molding (they just didn't want to remove the baseboards), Larry straightened them out. Larry and his crew did a great job and he clearly knew what he was doing and wouldn't let the subcontractors get away with anything. I was impressed. I've bought and sold a few homes in Western Colorado and used several contractors, but, Gand R Construction was by far the most attentive and knowledgeable that I've come across in a long time. I would definitely hire them again.
