Manus Contracting, Inc

In the beginning, Chris discussed with us at length about what we wanted to do. He made excellent suggestions that we had not thought of. Everything went as planned and there were no surprises. It is an unbelievable remodel!  Things went smoothly and we were so pleased with the results.

Chris was extremely easy to get a hold of and was prompt with the estimate. He was able to help with an oddly difficult HOA approval and went above and beyond in all aspects of the project. He answered all phone calls and emails immediately. The porch is beautiful and well made. He started and finished as promised. We highly recommend him and will use him again in the future.

He took the carpet out and installed hardwood floors. He painted the entire house. He completely redid the bathrooms. He installed all new plumbing. It looks amazing. He did custom crown molding for the ceilings. He made me a custom walk-in closet. He did all new insulation and wiring. He is very detail oriented. He is so friendly. We got 4 estimates and his price was the best. He is very dependable.

Chris was careful to take into consideration our budget limitations and the size of the building we would need. Our suggestions were considered carefully and we worked together to keep costs down. There were several delays due to weather but otherwise the work was done rapidly and the surrounding property was re-graded and kept clean throughout. The result was Grade A all the way.

Excellent job. I asked if he could finish before Thanksgiving as we were having company and they were bringing their dogs.They started on Monday morning at 8am and completed the job by 4pm Tuesday, They were very professional and the quality of the work was excellent. I did not need to call them to do any work they did not complete. I would highly recommend them.

The fan was too large to be removed, without removing the ceiling support or the roof rafters, so we decided to push it out of the way and repair the ceiling and build the access. (The attic is not used for storage.) The hall looks great and it is much more energy efficient because the fan grill is gone and the attic door is well insulated. They were very easy to work with, the mess was kept to a minimum and they clean up each day that they worked. They were very exacting with the dry wall seams, you can't see them. I would definitely use them again and I highly recommend them.

Gary contacted me the next day and came out to do a bid. He had already drawn out a sketch of a barn. He knew we were on a deadline to get this done before leaving town and he accomplished that ahead of time, even with 3 days of rain delay. We're very happy with the barn and shed and will definately call him again for any other repairs we might need in the future.

Manus Contracting responded immediately to our request for a quote and then gave us a repair appointment for the next business day. The work was completely quickly and thoroughly. Other contractors said we would have to wait for a couple of weeks just to provide an estimate. I would definitely call Manus again.

Chris did an excellent job -- in punctuality and professionalism as well as in workmanship. He kept in touch with any changes or issues as they arose, made changes and adjustments as needed, suggested ways to make the job turn out better without increasing cost, and finished the job on time and under budget. He was able to open the wall for the doors and insert the header above the door opening without disturbing the existing wall covering. His helper was well groomed and professional. I didn't hesitate to give Chris a key and let him finish work while I was away. Chris also engaged an electrician to move some wires and outlets and install an additional outlet in another part of the house. I was pleased with the electrician and his work. I would definitely hire Chris again.

My husband & I are thrilled with our new screen porch & deck. Chris took a rather simple plan & turned it into an extraordinary space. As do-it-yourselfers, we had a hard time justifying the expense but I can honestly can it was worth every dollar. Chris has such an attention to detail & is very talented, he had many innovative ideas plus he has the true craftmanship to follow thru and made each area special. It was a pleasure working with Chris & his guys. I feel very lucky to have found someone with his talent & we will enjoy his work for many years to come. I highly recommend his company & can't wait until we can renovate our master bathroom.

Manus Contracting, Inc built my barn in June 2009. I contacted them again in October to install 2 windows in my Tack Room. As with the barn construction they were both professional and timely. No surprises, No headaches; Quality work completed on schedule for the agreed upon price.

Overall excellent experience from start to finish. Call them before you order from Barnpros and save yourself about half the cost. I hired Manus Construction to build a 36' x 36', 6 stall Horse Barn on my property. I had a general idea of what I wanted in a barn, stalls, tack room, work area but was unsure of many details. I discussed my plans with Gary (Manus) who gave me honest and sound advice about constructing a functional barn. 6 weeks after our initial discussion my barn was complete; and to my surprise came out better than I had imagined. The quality of work and materials used were both exceptional; They worked quickly, efficiently and cleaned the site as they went. I would recommend Manus Construction to anyone who is looking to have a barn built; Gary has built a few barns in his time and it shows.

Overall the company did a great job and I would use them again in the future.

Chris did the repair and his painter refinished it. Great work. Excellent quality.

We moved here from Minnesota to an older home that needed a lot of work, especially the kitchen. We worked with Manus Contracting and the end result is amazing. We got a brand new kitchen (Chris has an artistic eye and can make a small kitchen larger by moving things around - appliances, desks, etc.) and we couldn't be happier, it turned out awesome in every way. Our family will spend a lot of quality time together in the warm and welcoming (and well-organized) kitchen that Chris designed. What we love most is that he is open to suggestions, does not push anything on you, he "tells it like it is" and is truly a man of his word. He also did a beautiful front porch where there was none, and it is still the talk of the neighborhood our family will enjoy our front porch and spend a lot of time there, too. We have Chris to thank for building us environments that enhance our family time together, and if you are lucky enough to have Chris do your project, you too will see and experience what we do. There are contractors out there we met several, and there just aren't many that we found who are true to their word, honest, fair (not greedy) and fun to work with. We actually looked forward to seeing Chris and his "crew" every day and now we count them as family friends whom we will invite to dinner and spend time with. That's Chris's motto actually, he will provide the service that makes you want to have him as your friend after the work is said and done. Who can say that about their re-modeler?
