Brian responded promptly to my email and came out to do a free estimate as soon as weather permitted. He gave me estimates for a variety of options and allowed me to choose. Even though I chose the cheaper and less extensive repair, the actual work done exceeded my expectations. Rather than just fill the pothole, Brian resurfaced a large section of the alley. I highly recommend G&V Construction!

We wanted the existing steps replaced, to add an extra step. This was to decrease the height of the risers making it easier to use our front steps. We originally received an estimate from G & V in mid-June. We went the summer without hearing much, than toward the end of September we heard that they wanted to start. We corrected some miscommunication and work began. More miscommunication with the wrought iron subcontractor, us, and G & V, but everything got smoothed out. The biggest complaint is a delay in hearing from them. The end result is that the new steps and railings look great. We plan to use G & V, and Pete Okonski again.
Description of Work: Obtained permit, removed existing front cement steps, replaced the frame wall that was behind the steps with cinder block, poured new bullnose steps. Wrought iron hand rails were sub-contracted to Peter J. Okonski Co. Inc.
Our house has a lot of brick details that were in need of repair. Brian and his team were able to match new pavers to our 50+ year old bricks quite seamlessly and help restore the masonry around our house. We are really happy with the end result - most especially with the new paver walkway that leads to our front door. There was one spot on the stucco wall that needed touched up after they left. I sent a note and within an hour they returned to make the fix. The customer service is great, and we especially appreciated Brian and his team's honest expertise on the best and most cost-effective approaches to our projects. We would definitely recommend them and use them again in the future.
Description of Work: We hired Brian and his team to install a paver walkway, re-lay sections of the brick wall the lines our driveway, spot-point and install new mortar in our existing brick patio, fix and seal the masonry work around a window well, and stucco and seal two small exterior walls leading to our basement entrance.

Brian responded either the same day I called him or the next day. He was professional and discussed with me any issues he could potentially run into with the job and explained how they would be handled. Within a week he provided me with a very detailed estimate for the work. While I ultimately went with another organization, I really appreciated Brian's responsiveness and professionalism. I certainly would contact him again in the future.
Brian and his crew were great and very professional. He explained everything step-by-step and was available throughout the jobs. Some of the work went unbelievably fast, testifying to their skills. He coordinated his work with a tree removal service and worked personally with the township in getting the permit and having the inspection done. Brian inspected everything and took personal responsibility. He was very attentive to details. He was always responsive to calls and emails. The final product--walkway, sidewalk, driveway, etc. look wonderful. He even supplied grass seed for areas that had been excavated. Although my township has an odd regulation that added unexpected additional work for them, Brian did not charge us any extra beyond the original estimate. He was personable, knowledgeable, and a gentleman. I wouldn't have a doubt about working with him again.
Description of Work: Excavation, concrete landing/steps, concrete walkway, common sidewalk, driveway apron and asphalt driveway, masonry.

Brian came out as promised and on time (even waited for me - I had called to say I left work late). He looked at my front patio (~4'x8' size). He was professional, listened to my concerns, described in adequate detail what he recommended in order to reduce chance of future cracking from frost heave. The written estimate was provided in reasonable time and provided details on what they were going to do and how. They also included the fact that they would support the porch roof during the repair. The crew arrived with their equipment on time the morning the work was scheduled. I could not stay to watch the work, but when I returned everything was done as described and the work looked very good. I had to wait a couple of days for them to take away the molds and another week for them to replace the porch roof support. They left very little mess and did not damage anything. The work looks great. They were not the cheapest quote, but I thought they would do a good job and I was correct.

I called for an estimate on August 4, 2015 and left a voice message for them. Then I followed up a few days later on their website and submitted an email asking for an estimate & mentioning that I left a message on the 4th.Still no response and it's the 22nd of August now. In the ratings I said I would probably use them in the future because I cannot fairly rate their work at this time & it wouldn't be fair to either one of us not to give them a chance. I am very dissatisfied with their lack of professionalism. I would have no problem with the courtesy of a call back saying that they can't schedule an appointment with me because they are too inundated with work. Unfortunately they couldn't do that either. Strike 1 for using Angie's List.

Dear Member, I am very sorry but I have checked all of our call logs and we do not have any received call from you around these dates, or for any dates in August for that matter. I know the we designer is working on updating our website, not sure if this is why I have not received an email from you or not, but I also have no email from you. Please feel free to call me on my cell# 610-357-7912 to get ahold of me directly to set up a time for a free estimate at your convenience if you still wish to do so. Again I apologize but am not sure why we did not receive any of your attempts on contacting us. I am wondering if possible you were trying to contact C&V of Havertown. Thanks, Brian G&V

Tom arrived on time for the estimate. He very professionally assessed the work to be performed and promptly provided a quote. Before the work commenced, Tom brought his foreman Brian to meet me and to familiarize him with the job. Brian and his crew arrived on time to perform the work and did a very competent job of re-? casting our concrete loading dock and provided a very nice mag trowel finish on the flat work. During the course of the excavation some additional necessary work was revealed and G& V gave us a fair price on the extra work. I recommend them and would hire them again.

Unfortunately, not very well. Originally, I spoke the companies secretary, to schedule a date to get an estimate. I had a date scheduled during the week of April 5 but had to cancel it and she, supposedly, rescheduled it for Tuesday, 5/12. When no one showed up, that's when I found the card I had from Tom, the estimator (I received an estimate about 3 years ago which is why I had a business card), and he suggested I email him to reschedule. He confirmed for 5/19. In all of these contacts, I gave my address. On 5/19, I received an email from Brian stating that they no longer do work in Philadelphia. Of course, this is confusing since in speaking with the secretary and with Tom, neither stated that G and V does not do work in Philadelphia since last year. I think not working in an large city like Philly would be something that staff could easily remember, unfortunately, it is not.

Response from G&V Construction Services Inc
As I had said to you in an email I greatly apologize for the inconvenience. I had already explained this to you but I will do so again so that all members can be informed to the situation. I apologize for the secretary misinforming you. The new secretary (Katie my wife) had just started this position after replacing our previous secretary about 2 weeks prior to you talking to her. She knew that we had been working on a job in the city (Chestnut hill) which was a project we had sold last year and could not get to before winter due to our work load. As for Tom the estimator he also knew we were working on this project but it must have slipped his mind in his conversation with you, or maybe he thought that I would still do the job since we had given you the price 3 years ago when we still worked in the city. However myself, as the owner of the company had nicely told you that we do not wish to work in the city any longer for logistical reasons and in dealing with the city and their difficulty in issuing permits I have decided to not work in the city of Philadelphia at this time. Our company has accrued a lot more overhead in our company rapidly growning because of our reputation over the last few years, and we have converted over to using large trucks and heavy equipment to work more efficient on our projects. This is the largest reason as you can see working in most of the city will not work as there is not enough room for parking or safe operation of these items. The only places we can work in the city is where there is large single homes on large lots, with wide streets and plenty of parking. Again sorry for your inconvenience, and I wish I could have helped you 3 years ago when you first reached out to us. Thanks, Brian G&V

Although estimator arrived early for our appointment we were only told at the appointment when we asked for a quote (the point of the appointment) that architectural drawings were required to have G & V give us a cost. We understand that this would have ensured their quote's accuracy however if we had known when we made the appointment that this was a prerequisite for the quote, we would have had them made and available. With the estimator springing this on us during the consultation it just seemed that they didn't want the project so found someway to decline it. Total waste of our time. We want to hire a company who is upfront and provides clear communication.

Dear member, I am very sorry that you feel this way about your experience. However my estimator Tom's paperwork who was prepared by my secretary (wife), informed him he would be looking at a 1st floor remodel. This could mean several different types of projects. From this little bit of information Tom could not have been able to know that an engineer/architect would be needed for your project. If you would have called in and said you were looking to to an addition then my secretary would have asked if you had drawings completed already, and if not would have recommended our engineer right then over the phone. Tom has been instructed by me that if he feels an engineer/architect is needed to be able to obtain proper permits for a project, then he is to advise you of that at the consult, and no estimate will be provided until the drawings have been completed by our engineer or one of your choice. So to get back to your review, yes Tom was very accurate in what he explained to you at your time of consult, and to say it was a total waste of your time, well I guess we should feel the same way now since you felt the need to write this bad review about our company yet we were just doing our job and staying withing the guidelines that I have set for my company for the last 11 years now! Please future members if you have any questions or would like to speak to Tom or myself about a project before you have one of us out for a free estimate do not hesitate to give us a call so that maybe we can determine ahead of time if you will need an engineer involved or not on your project. I just want to make sure that no other member feels their time was wasted at a consult like this one. Please know that we never feel like we have wasted any of our time meeting with new, present or future clients, even if we do not get hired for the job. Thanks, Brian G&V

Excellent. There was one issue -- a huge boulder underground that impeded G&V's ability to lay an underground water conduit, and instead of complaining or jacking up the price too much, Brian (the firm's owner) when out and got a jackhammer and chopped away at the stone until his crew could proceed. Halfway through the project, we (the homeowners) requested an upgrade to the original specs. Brian agreed and raised his price only a little to accommodate the extra expense he incurred in complying with our upgrade request. Months after the project was completed, we remain quite satisfied with G&V's work. This autumn, when we tried to lift the iron grate covering the drain in order to remove leaves, we found it was too heavy to budge and mistakenly thought the grate had been inadvertently sealed into place. I contacted Brian who assured me the problem was simply that the grate was incredibly heavy and tough to move -- but he didn't just end with that. He ended by saying if we couldn't move it, he'd send someone over to do it for us. Looks like we'll be taking him up on that! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Description of Work: Removed old driveway's asphalt, re-graded entire driveway, poured new asphalt, added stone border, installed storm drain, installed underground conduit, graded rear of property to accommodate rain water run off, added other requested decorative touches.

Responded promptly to our email request and followed up with a site visit within days. Tom, spent a considerable amount of time with us, sharing ideas and options we had available to us. He made several suggestions that we thought were helpful to our project. Pricing was fair. G&V was one of 3 bids we considered, however, in the end we did select another contractor because he fit into are schedule and was able to fit in another job as well. We were impressed with the professionalism of The G&V Company.

We have not had a very good experience with them and i was surprised because i got them from Angies list and they had good reviews. They were very professional, we were pleased with his knowleagabe because we had some major problems. He told us he could get us a bid for the front landscaping and he told us to get an Engineer for the back. It took us a while to get to the engineer and we were playing tag with him. Two weeks went by before i had to ask him the name of the engineer and the phone number. He said he would email that to me and he did not do it. It was another 2-3 weeks i emailed him and he had not yet drafted a bid. He said he will not do the job until i talk to the engineer. I told him that was not in the agreement but he insisted i talk to the engineer first and that was after 2 month. I was frustrated and disappointed.

Response from G&V Construction Services Inc
Dear member, You project is very involved and must be designed by an engineer to ensure it is done properly. I am sorry that we are not like some contractors who engage in a large project with engineered walls without having it properly drawn up by the proper engineer. I am sorry but it is for your protection and ours to go thru the proper steps when dealing with such a large structural project. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you but we were just following our companies policy on this type of work. We referred you to an engineer and he did not contact you back unfortunately, but I have no control over that and did not have any others to refer to you. You could have tried to find another engineer on your own, especially since one was needed. We wish you luck on your project and please do not let any contractor attempt that project without an engineer drawing up what exactly needs to be installed and how to retain that property!
