G & M Construction

After initial contact and 3 visits to the jobsite, G&M gave a verbal total cost quote of $11,900 with no details. Quote was very high per sq ft. When questioned about the foundation for the addition, it became obivious that G&M had not given proper consideration to the details of the job. They also presented a formal written contract for signature that included a price escalation clause. I asked for a little time to review the contract, while they arranged for a city inspector to review the foundation requirements. At this point they stopped taking calls from me and have not initiated contact. Vety unprofessional way to say they were no longer interested in the project.

My late husband built our 30-year-old, 2,800 sq. ft. cedar-sided home. The exterior had deteriorated to the point of no return. In addition to the siding, the roof needed to be replaced, as well as the cloudy double-pane windows. Robert Manos, with G & M Construction, replaced the roof with dimensional shingles (and a metal-roof on the porch--metal roofs being their specialty), replaced the cedar with Hardy ColorPlus siding, replaced all the windows, added a beautiful deck, poured a stoop and sidewalk, laid ceramic tile in my kitchen and around the stone fireplace. They even patched walls, and patched and sprayed ceilings where needed throughout the house. My favorite project was a custom cedar ceiling in the breakfast room. I had wanted to reuse a portion of the salvageable cedar from the exterior. Robert and his crew painstakingly planed the curling, grayed boards to my satisfaction, beveled the edges for a finished look, and the rough, ugly, old cedar was transformed into a beautiful ceiling, in homage to my late husband's love of that natural wood. This entire experience of working with Robert and his crew was such a blessing. They are honest, hard-working, perfectionistic craftsmen. A process that might have been tedious and challenging was instead brought to a close with a bond of friendship and respect. I can not recommend this crew more highly.
