Guild Construction Co

Scott was very professional and his work product is excellent. His pricing was in line with quotes we received from other contractors. We did experience some delays in the overall project completion, but it had nothing to do with Scott. Rather, it was due to the building and plumbing inspector delaying the process. Scott was very good about keeping me informed of progress and kept after the town inspectors to ensure they inspected the project as soon as they were able to. I would highly recommend Scott.P

Overall, we were satisfied with Scott's work. His crew was friendly, they cleaned up after themselves for the most part, and they were timely in their work. We had some hold-ups with the permitting on the town's side of things, but Scott did what he could in the waiting periods in order to keep the project moving along. The project took a bit longer than anticipated, but this was mainly due to the delays caused by permitting, and some from the plumber having multiple jobs and not being able to make it out right away. It felt like at times there was some miscommunications with the subcontractors which led to me having to contact them myself. I would've preferred that this was not the case. Overall, Scott was responsive with any questions or concerns we asked, and was willing to discuss different alternatives. Anything additional that we asked him to do, he didn't hesitate to comply, and his quotes came in right where he told us they would be. We are very happy with our new kitchen.

I spoke to Scott about doing my garage repair after he completed my bathroom. He had an excellent estimate on the job compared to another company I checked out. Scott came at the beginning of the week and put a key box on my back door and brought an assistant. They removed the old falling apart and crumbling plaster and examined the bottom support beam at the back of the garage. They measured for a new one and took away the debris including an old wooden ladder too heavy for me to take to the dump. Scott came back for 2 more days of wall construction and cement pouring. He then came 1 day and painted. The project took about 4 days to complete. I was very happy. Scott picks up my calls right away. He provided all the materials for this project.

We had a garage that was falling apart and every other contractor advised us to scrap it and begin again. Most contractors did not notice that the floor had a root growing through it. Scott gave us a fair price to do the extra work to put a floor in and steered the process efficiently and intelligently. Our garage looks great and we are deeply thankful for the thoughtful work that Scott put in.

His name is Scott Guild. They were awesome. I met with Gus Futyma, his worker, and I liked him. He came across as honest.

I contacted another builder who wanted to rip down walls and gave me a very high estimate for renovating my 1/2 bath.Scott was more in keeping with my goals which were to simply remodel and upgrade a bathroom in a 65 year old house.I wanted the bathroom to look like it belonged in the house, using small tiles for the floor, getting a small vanity insteadof the hanging sink which was there.Scott gave me information on where to go for the fixtures and the tiles. I made my choices and purchases while he got the permits.Scott began work on a monday by removing everything. The work went smoothly and Scott co-ordinated the electricianand accomplished a great deal in a short time. I am thinking the work went on for 2 weeks with painting and redesigningthe duct below the bathroom floor to get the heating grate off the wall behind the sink.I picked out the bead board and my only thought here was that I should have researched a quality company for this butin the end with paint, the bead board blends in fine with a nice railing along the window casing. It has small imperfections here and there but it is minor and I am so happy to see this done and thrilled that it came out so well.

An appointment was set to review work on a kitchen and an enclosed porch. The job was to include a new ceiling, new tile floor, and tile backsplash in the kitchen and a new floor and windows on the porch. Mr. Guild called the day before the appointment to reschedule and a new appointment was set. Good, things happen and he called to reschedule. He showed up on time for the new appointment on February 23rd. Also good. Although Mr. Guild asked a lot of questions about the job and took meticulous measurements, things could have gone better. We were reviewing the job when Mr. Guild received a cell phone call. He then proceeded to speak with one of his sub contractors about another job for at least ten minutes. Once the call was over we reviewed my job some more and things seemed to be back on track. Then normal small talk evolved into a sermon about Mr. Guild's philosophy about the American diet, health, and aging. He bragged about how successful he was as he owned several planes and boats. (I couldn't help thinking about an Angie's List review that mentioned unrelated conversation) My cues to end this talk were unsuccessful (guess I was too subtle) so this went on for some time. Still it was an amusing story until the next time I heard from Mr. Guild. On March 14th he left messages on my home and work phones. While he did apologize for not getting in touch sooner I was not pleased with his messages. The reason - Mr. Guild stated he didn't want to be a fact checker against other contractors. He also stated that it took a lot of time and effort to put together a proposal so if I wasn't serious about hiring him he'd rather not draw one up. What?????? Maybe if I had signed up for Mr. Guild's philosophy of life he wouldn't feel this way. Oh well that's not going to happen and it shouldn't be part of a business deal. Mr. Guild wanted to know if I still want him to put something together. That would be a no.

After I had the site surveyed, Scott Guild took care of the permit which we received in July. Demolition did not take long for the old structure. Then the hole needed to be dug for the new concrete foundation. The garage is built into a slope so the digging we extensive. The excavation took a long time and the man with the backhoe apparently had numerous jobs. So this part of the job took an extremely long time with days, even weeks, in between work being done and a huge mountain of dirt consuming my small back yard. You never knew when or if the laborers would show up. There was little or no warning and sometimes Scott would say they would be there the next week and then they would not show up. Scott's explanation was that the price was so low that we were getting the subcontractors when they had breaks in their other jobs. Gradually over the months the garage was built. All told it took 4 months. I have to say that the quality is quite excellent and the final structure is everything we hoped it would be. The choices in materials are top notch. All the carpenters and subcontractors were very nice, polite and professional. During the process I admit that I became very frustrated at the amount of time in between progress getting made but I am very happy with the end result. I would use Scott Guild again in the future, but would want an end date on the contract.

We are very pleased with our new kitchen and roof. The roofing, electrical and plumbing subcontractors were all true professionals. Scott was very accessible by phone to answer questions, and he and his crew always took the time to do the job right and clean up afterwards.

The first project was the bathroom remodel which was done in a timely fashion with beautiful results. Scott did an amazing job on the shower tile work. Next was storm damage from the ice dams last winter followed by our decision to put new gutters up and add heat cables.

We were very pleased with Scott and all of the work. He was very thorough in taking notes in our initial meeting and provided the estimate promptly. His services were very reasonable and we were very happy with the finished product. He was always responsive and easy to get a hold of. He was able to offer expertise and advice when we had questions. Everyone who worked on the job was neat and professional. We would definitely work with him again on other projects.

We were kind of disappointed. When we met him, he was fine. He was a little late and didn't call. I ended up calling him but he did show up. The estimate was handwritten. It was a mess. It was hard to read and understand. We liked talking with him and he was professional but when we got the estimate we decided not to use him because the estimate was just a mess. He was a very nice guy and had some good ideas but the proposal was very unprofessional.

Scott contacted me shortly after I emailed him via Angie's List to come and discuss our project. He was punctual and very precise in taking a lot of measurements. He researched the items we wanted to use in the renovation and came back to us with his handwritten quote in the course of less than a week. Although we decided to go with a different contractor, Scott was very professional and responsive.

Overall, we were pleased with the project timeline and finished project.

We got four estimates from Angies List contractors. Scott Guild gave a reasonable line-item estimate for the work, but was flexible with allowing us to purchase tiles, fixtures, and vanity on our own which resulted in a significant cost savings. Overall, Scott and his subs did a great job and provided high quality work. They were also very responsive to our questions and requests, and Scott was open to sharing suggestions on ways we could save money when shopping around and he was very mindful of our budget. Scott was incredibly knowledgeable with working on an old house (built in 1925), was on-site personally working many of the days, and was very honest and reliable throughout this process. We would not hesitate to hire him again for our next project and are thankful we have found a great general contractor.

I located Guild Construction through Angies List, and I called to get and estimate. Scott Guild arrived as agreed to look at the work needed in order to write up an estimate. Upon selecting Guild for my projects and agreeing on a start date, Guild's workmen arrived on time and completed their work. They gave me good advice and explained what they were doing when I asked. The workmen were knowledgeable, competent, and affable.

It took a little longer than planned. The overall job was well done. They were by far the lowest estimate.

Price was very good. Work crew was fast and neat. Work was high quality. I plan to hire Guild construction for another job.

Overall it was a positive experience. They quickly provided us with a contract that met our needs and changed the one detail we asked to be modified. The roofers were at our house within two weeks and had roof and gutters up in two days. We are very happy with the results.

Scott was very detailed on the scope of work for our project. From the onset he indicated since load bearing walls were being removed, he needed to bring in a structural engineer. Scott did the job right the first time, as stuctural support was needed in the basement, and first floor. I have no hesitation in using him for any future projects.

The small sunroom had only an eighteen-inch dirt crawl space beneath the floor. In order to install the bathroom, the contractor had to cut a large hole in the concrete basement wall to accommodate all services. The walls, ceiling, and floor were completely demolished. As indicated, this was a major undertaking. The whole job was very professionally done. The demolition work, the carpentry work, the brick work, the tile work, the plumbing work, the electrical work, and the painting were all of the highest quality. After the job was done, a few very small details needed fixing. This work was done immediately. We decided some of the work originally scheduled was not needed so the contractor deducted that amount from the final payment. We asked that some additional work, not covered by the original contract, be done. This additional work was done at a very reasonable price. As an indication of how satisfied we are with the Guild Construction Company, we have asked the company to repair our roof and kitchen floor. This company deserves its excellent reputation.

Overall decent work, but left many last touch finish issues unresolved although specifically asked to address them.

I was pleased, especially as date of work was extremely important in addition to quality.

We had taken out the wood stove and they did all the walls around it. The owner of the company would work here a few hours a day and then his workers would take over. He would stop by at the end of each day to check on them. They tore down the plaster and replaced it and put in new insulation. It took them about a week to complete. The price was fair. The owner was very responsive and it looks good.

This has been awful. The contractor said they would have somebody here to supervise the work and that has not been the case. My husband asked that if somebody can’t come would there be back up and he said yes, but that has not happened. Many times he’s said he’s coming and doesn’t show up and doesn’t call. The thing that gets me too is when something is done wrong and he has to fix it, he wants to charge extra! It’s not our fault, it’s his mistake and he wants us to pay. I’ve had it with him. I am at the end of my rope. I wouldn't recommend this company.
