GENUARIO CONSTRUCTION CO

This was our first major remodeling effort involving a general contractor. We had heard horror stories from people we knew about working with a general contractor - disputes, quality issues, scheduling problems, etc. Our experience with Genuario Construction (GCC) was very different - their price was fair (middle quote of three), their project management was thorough and professional, they know how to work with construction loans, and they take pride in their work. Prior to selecting a contractor, we spend a year with an excellent architect working up detailed plans. Genuario worked well with the architect - proposing a different approach to our foundations that our architect accepted. Once the project got underway, we worked closely with Lindsay Gainer who walked us through the dozens of choices about tile types, paint colors, floor materials, bathroom fixtures, etc. She was thorough and patient with us, and as a result, we had the choices made and ready to phase into the construction. Some may find their process overly-structured, but we found that it eliminated miscommunication and it helped us manage costs. As we moved into construction, Danny Normyle - the on-site project manager - worked closely with us. When there were delays, he told us why and gave us revised time estimates. When we needed to reach him, he was available. He stopped by the construction site every day there was activity. He also did a good job communicating with our neighbors when there were big events like concrete delivery. GCC's work can be measured in other ways as well. We had moved into a very small upper floor apartment during the construction and figured that our aging cat would do better living on our property. GCC rigged the internal heat so it would warm the house sufficiently for the cat. In another instance, there was a miscommunication about the number of window panels above a set of deck doors and three (vs five) were installed. GCC acknowledged the variance from the drawing and immediately started the process of replacing the panels. We moved back into the house in February of 2013 (we started in late July of 2013) and I've waited to write this to see how our punch list process would go. Danny Normyle managed this thoroughly and tracked the punch list through to completion. Finally, as the cold weather set in earlier this year, we realized that internal access to an outside hose bib had been walled off. We called GCC and they fixed the problem. We are delighted with our remodeled house and the quality of GCC's work. We would recommend them to anyone building from scratch or remodeling.

They were very responsive and personable. They didn’t charge extra for some small little things. They seemed to actually care about their client. I would highly recommend them. I would use them in the future.

They did a great job giving us the upgrades we asked for at a fair price. During the job they found some issues with the house that we had not noticed. They fixed brick work and roof shingles at no extra charge stating that they stand behind their original work. I was amazed since over 14 years had passed.
