The biggest benefit to me was that I knew that I was going to get quality workmanship. I have total peace of mind when G&D is doing work at my house.
They've done my kitchen, my bathroom and converted my attic into a bedroom with an ensuite. It's because of the quality of the work that I continue to get G&D back. There's nothing they can't build.
Word of mouth. I got their number initially from a friend who G&D had done some work for. I chose G&D because I've been burned before and I won't get anyone anymore without a referral or recommendation.
Yes I had some but I always open it up to Alan to get his feedback and ideas. One of the reasons that I like to use G&D is that Alan has a great eye for everything. I'll ask Alan about an idea that I have and then we sit down together and talk it through.
Definitely. I get Alan involved with the projects early on because of his suggestions and his eye for detail. He respects what I'm thinking of but if he thinks there may be a better way, he asks me if I would consider this or that, but in a nice way. He comes up with ideas that I had never considered before. I think I've taken Alan's advice and ideas 9 times out of ten.
It went perfectly! I really liked the way that the job was managed and I feel that G&D does things with my best interest in mind. It's only after having had work done previously by other builders that I realize how great I have it with Alan and Ray, I've become a bit spoiled. The workmanship is spot on and I've never had to have them back to redo anything, it's always done right the first time. They do the little things that really make a difference and when the job is completed, the place is left spotless.
I'm hoping to have an extension built next year and I already know that I'll be getting G&D to do it.
Without a shadow of a doubt and in fact I have done so. I recommended them to my dad who got them to do some commercial work for him and my brother as well. My brother got Alan do do some commercial and residential work for him and then he recommended Alan on to his own father in law. I will only refer someone that I know and trust and in Alan, I do. I'm just afraid that I won't get Alan back!
