Terry is a very nice, personable man, and we got along well from the start. He met with us and went over our very involved renovation plans, and was easy to talk to. He always had good answers to our thousands of questions, and always threw in his own ideas and suggestions for improving on what we were trying to do. Terry was receptive to the General Contractor role, and we feel he did a terrific job dealing with all of the pressure that came with our tight time schedule. Terry was always responsive to our calls and emails, keeping us posted sometimes daily on the progress of our multi-facted project. He also worked well with the tradesmen, some of them told me how nice it was to work with such a good general contractor. Terry kept in close contact with the contractors, and made sure their work was right,and done on time. He was very good at working out all of the minor problems that came up during the project. We were very happy with the responsible way in which he handled the bank too. He made sure the paperwork was done right, and he made sure the payments were properly made to all concerned parties. Terry's work in the house was very good too, always cleaning up afterwards. He seems to take pride in his work, and he really cared that we were happy with what he did. Terry made sure to be available for the many inspectionsthat were required. We would highly recommend him to others.

From start to finish(ed basement), Terry and his team were professional, highly skilled, and focused on quality. During the initial consultation, Terry differentiated himself from the other builders we'd engaged by bringing lots of solid ideas about how we could turn our unfinished space into a highlight of our home: other contractors we spoke to either expected us to have a finalized blueprint of the design we wanted for our basement (down to what kind of lights we wanted) or immediately started putting together a plan for a ultra high-end design, which we neither wanted nor could afford. Terry, on the other hand, came in and listened to the rough ideas we had on layout and overall aesthetic goals, and worked with us to produce a design that we were happy with. It felt like he was partnering with us on the project, as opposed to just building something to spec. This collaborative approach really set Terry above the other builders we spoke with, and his approach continued throughout the span of the project. I felt very comfortable leaving the details of the project in Terry and his team's capable hands, as, after working with him during the first few days of the project, I knew he'd engage me in the important decisions. Perhaps even more important, he was always ready to offer suggestions and guidance based on his experience; as this was my family's first major remodeling project, Terry's experience was invaluable in helping us make good decisions on the project. From helping us decide on making the most of our space, to little things like building a small, attractive box around our electrical panel, Terry and his team brought a lot of great ideas to the table, and, importantly, executed on those ideas at a high-level of quality. This focus on the client extends to Terry's team as well: you could tell that he doesn't take the selection of his skilled tradespeople lightly, as everyone we encountered who performed work on the basement was professional, polite, and produced great work. As an example, he and his team moved a massive meat freezer from our basement before they began work; seriously, this thing was the size of an obese grizzly bear (and probably heavier), and his team moved it out of there without complaint. We couldn't be more happy with the work that Terry and his team performed. He stayed within our budget and delivered a space that is now one of the highlights of our modest home. I'd recommend Terry (and I have, many times since the end of the project) to anyone looking for a skilled, professional builder who will partner with you on your next remodeling project.

Working with Terry was a FANTASTIC experience, and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, hard-working contractor who truly cares about quality, who won't nickel and dime you, and who is on your side. My 750 sq ft basement was totally unfinished and I was looking for someone to handle the entire project for me. I have a very busy day job and simply didn't have the time to play watchdog over the project (and lacked the expertise to do so). What I needed was a champion to handle everything for me. During my search I dealt with a fair share of people who either were looking to over-charge me or who simply weren't trustworthy or dependable. Fortunately I settled on Terry and You Got a Guy Construction. From the very beginning I could tell that he really CARED about doing a good job, and that he took pride in the quality of his work and the quality of his interactions with me. We started with two documents that I had already developed: a floor plan and an interior designer's specifications. Every step of the way he made sure we were on the same page, always incorporated any comments or concerns I had with the work, and made sure all of the contractors coming through were accountable to him for doing a great job. There were a few times when what was being implemented wasn't quite what I had expected. In EVERY case Terry's response was "okay, we'll fix that, no problem." And it wasn't a problem. In fact, one time his painter had painted an accent wall and it turns out I really didn't like the color (not Terry's fault!). He simply had the painter re-do that wall, no complaints, no questions, no over-charging. Over the course of the project he really won my trust, because I felt like he was on my side and not just another contractor looking for a quick buck. Speaking of changes, as with any complex project, there were changes along the way that I wanted to make. Terry was always up front about the cost of my requested changes, and he NEVER tried adding extra charges that we hadn't discussed. His communication was also excellent - we often texted or chatted on the phone as needed, and he was always available. The end result? The process was not stressful (actually, I enjoyed it), and I *LOVE* the results. In this day and age of contractors who don't seem to give a darn about anyone but themselves, it's so refreshing to work with someone who understands customer service, partnership, and quality. Work with this guy and you won't regret it!

I had heard great things about Terry, but he is even better than I had hoped.

Terry was prompt in returning my call and coming out to see what needed to be done. He suggested having one of his contractors (a licensed plumber) come out and do the job. Terry gave me the dimensions of the vanity I needed to buy and the plumber's name and number. The contractor returned my call promptly and did a great job when he came out. He is an experienced plumber who worked carefully, efficiently and competently. The charge for the work was more than reasonable. And just like Terry, he was a nice guy who I felt comfortable having in my home. This is the second time I have used Terry for a relatively small job. I have plans for a more substantial job and will not hesitate to call Terry!

My experience with them was very good. I think the owner had a lot of good ideas and was pretty flexible in trying to help by going over options with us because we didn't know how we exactly wanted it designed.

You Got A Guy had great reviews on Angie's List, except one from a woman who said that he told her he would give her an estimate, but never followed up. Terry was initially quite responsive and professional. My husband and I met with him and walked him through the home we are renovating (full renovation). He didn't throw out too many creative ideas, like some of the other contractors we had interviewed, but he was thorough and seemed knowledgable. He ended up being one of two builders we were considering. Six or seven weeks later, we still had no quote and hadn't heard anything from him. I called him (shouldn't it be the other way around?) and asked how the estimate was coming. He said he had several jobs going and was sorry for leaving me hanging, but he'd just been so busy. He said he would call to arange for his trades (plumber, electrician) to contact me for an estimate of their work. No one ever called me back, including Terry. All in all, he's a friendly guy, but made us feel that our job was not important enough to warrant his time. If he's that busy, he should say that he isn't taking on new work, currently.

Terry was very professional and extremely considerate. He provided ideas and options for the work, and was genuinely interested in delivering what we wanted. He made sure that we were comfortable with the process and offered regular updates on his progress. The work was completed in a very professional manner, turned out just like we had hoped, and was done ahead of schedule.

Terry is a very nice guy. He is the only contractor who actually answered the phone when I called. It was nice to not have to leave a message. Overall, his price was a bit high for what we wanted done, but I am sure he would've done a great job! He spent a lot of time going over the house and what we wanted to do. He did take about 4 days to get us a quote, but it was over a weekend, so that is understandable. If we had another project to do, I would definitely contact him for a quote.

Terry did a great job and I plan to use him again for larger jobs I need done in the house. It is obvious he knows what he is doing and is experienced. He explained everything to me and most importantly, listened to what I wanted and did not try to sell me a bigger job. He was punctual and worked efficiently and neatly. Terry did everything he said he would and the finished product looks great and obviously was done by a pro.Terry is personable in the way you want someone to be who is working in your home. He is easy going and approachable but when it comes to getting the job done, he is a purposeful and deliberate worker.I cannot think of anything that could have been improved upon. He really is that good!

Terry responded very quickly to my call and his estimate came in quickly. I have to be honest, I didn't get multiple estimates, because we felt so comfortable with him from the start and his references raved about him. One previous customer even invited me over to see his basement if I wanted to. So, we had our basement partially finished and Terry came in and hung our drop ceiling, fixed some other areas that were not getting the drop ceiling, boxed in some ductwork, did a little drywall work to finish things up, did some hvac work, created a nice ledge for us, and did all the trim work throughout the basement. He always did what was in his estimate to completion and worked with us if we had changes or concerns. His team was always on time, professional, cleaned up after themselves, and easy to work with. I will call Terry in the future if I need other work done and will be refer him to others. We may bring him back later in the Spring to do some work for our parents.

A new real estate listing hit the market on a Friday, and I was one of the first people to see the house. It was a foreclosure, and the entire first floor had been gutted to the frame, along with most of the garage and a previously finished basement. I knew I was interested in the property but had only guesses as to what it might cost to repair. Unfortunately, multiple parties were interested in the same house, and offers were due the following Monday. Saturday was St. Patrick's Day, but You Got a Guy listed Saturday hours, so I called in the morning. Terry actually came out the following day and spent his Sunday afternoon crawling around that house and crunching numbers to come up with a bid by Monday morning. He was professional, personable, and smart. I was ready to hire him. Alas, I was outbid on the house. Still, Terry has definitely earned my business in the future, and as soon as I need a contractor, he will be the guy I call.

I decided, just to be safe, to gut most of the drywall, insulation, and carpeting myself but I got a bit carried away with demolition that I took down the existing drop ceiling too...didn't like it anyway. You Got A Guy Construction started and finished actually earlier than planned which I liked a lot, seeing a gutted basement is pretty depressing at times after what it used to look like. Also he kept in constant contact with through out. They did everything from re-running all of the electrical to drywall and installing a brand new floor! Plus they finished some clean up work that I hadn't gotten around too! Oh, and if it is trash day at your house, don't be surprised to find your garbage cans put back to where they belong !!!!! I have another project that I am looking to have done and can't wait to call Terry to get started, I still have some minor stuff to finish first though.

Terry from You Got A Guy Construction came over for the estimate. He was personable, professional and instantly put us at ease about the big job ahead of us. We had every intention of completing the job ourselves, but after framing and electrical rough inspections were completed, we simply had no more time to spend. The You Got A Guy Construction team came in and cleaned up some of my rough work (my framing was nowhere near professional quality) and got it ready for drywall. They worked independently, with free access to the house, and called or texted as needed to keep us informed or ask questions on how we wanted things handled. After a few days of material/tool drop-off the team got started. They were fast and clean, and within a few days we had insulation and drywall up and ready for paint. The paint and trim crew came in and did an equally excellent job. We couldn't be happier with the end result. Terry and his team even came up with a few tricks on the fly to fix issues that weren't originally planned for, such as cabinets that I wanted installed over plumbing shut-offs and in the way of ductwork. All in all a great job, very professional team, and a very satisfied customer.

This was our second project with Terry. He is professional. He tells what we can do and what we can't do. And he makes suggestions of how to achieve the results we want in a way that works. Terry is very responsive, never did a day go by without a response from him, regardless of the scope of the issue.

Terry uses quality contractors and I would recommend him all home improvement jobs.

Terry is a great contractor and takes pride in his work. He was very helpful and made arrangements to get my job done quickly and on time even though we were pulling him away to help my daughter at her home with a job that another contrator had messed up on. He made sure we were satisfied with all the work and did an amazing job with clean up as well. The team he brings in to work with him are top notch guys.

Terry had given my Mom an estimate for a job. I ran into issues w/ my flooring installation with another company, where they would not continue work until a licensed builder installed a level subfloor. My Mom got a hold of Terry who came out the very next day (Friday), gave me an estimate over the weekend, and performed the job Monday morning. The job was completed 4 hrs later. I am a newer homeowner, and would use Terry and his company again for any work needed.

My husband and I were very impressed by the work done by Terry, owner and operator, of You Got A Guy Construction and all the subcontractors that worked on this project in our home. Our bathroom is beautiful. Terry was very professional and courteous while working in our home. He cleaned the area every night before leaving so we could enjoy our home as much as possible during the construction. We were also impressed at his time managment. The entire project was completed within 2 weeks time as promised. You Got A Guy Construction's bid was very competitive and Terry stuck to our price point faithfully throughout the project. We will be happy to use You Got A Guy Construction again for future remodeling needs. We have no complaints and were very happy with the service we received.

I had excellent service, start to finish. I highly recommend You Got a Guy construction. Very prompt, neat, courteous.

We asked several contractors to provide quotes. Terry was the only one that quoted promptly, was serious about doing things right, and followed up with us. His quote was in right price range so we selected him. The start of the job was delayed a couple of weeks because the window shipment took longer than expected, but Terry continued to give us updates. We requested two changes in the middle of the job, which he accommodated with no problem. The job took 2 1/2 weeks, and each day they tidied up before leaving each day. What I really appreciated was that he gave us an update at the end of each day on the progress. I now have a beautiful sunroom to enjoy this summer.

What started as a small project, add a main floor laundry and expand one closet, grew over time. They were very good about listening to our concerns and ideas, giving us feedback and providing estimates. The subcontractors were good and the overall project management was wonderful. This was phase one. We have ordered the window for phase two, a small bathroom update. We plan to redo more of our home as time goes on and will be using this company again.
