A J GERARD BUILDING CO

Description of Work: We have had Rich, Kevin and Tony build for us quite a few times. They never cease to amaze us with the quality of their work and their dedication. This time we provided quite a challenge for them. I purchased a metal out building for my husband as an Anniversary gift. I called Rich and Kevin to see if they would be interested in constructing it for us. This was not your average pole building. It was a 25x36 ' metal "A" frame. When it arrived it was in many sections., steal beams, buckets of bolts etc. I was so pleased that they accept the new challenge before them. They set about reading blueprints and locating materials according to the drawings we had available. The concrete was framed and poured. Then they worked putting in the base plates that would secure the building to the foundation. Each day brought about a new challenge but they forged ahead learning aas they went. The building structure was put together in large sections, requiring a fork lift, scafling, three- four men to put them together and slowly raise and secure them. I stood back and took many pictures while the guys erected this very large building ( it resembles an airplane hanger.) When the job was done, we were very pleased with their work and the building. The building was advertised as constructible by a few good men. My experience with this building was that you really need professional help. Some of the smaller ones, possibly could be erected by a few men, however this one took real professionals to complete. Rich and Kevin had to use a forklift, scafling, a back hoe etc to reach the top and center of this building. It was 16' tall. You could not erect this building without that equipment. I have photos that I would be willing to provide anyone that would be interested in this type of building.
