Addition to Existing Structure Building Service
Guy subbed out most of the hard work and that work was done fairly well and on time. However, he personally tried to do the kitchen cabinet install and ending up walking off the job after he could not fix what he butchered...We hired a professional cabinet installer who took them all down started over and completed the job properly. And for extra bonus, the new shower in the new bathroom he installed leaks into the kitchen ceiling. good stuff. He misses details and misleads when it suits him. We needed a lawyer to help us disengage from him properly and our still finding problems with his work and professionalism several years later.

I was very comfortable with the contractor because he was able to explain and recommend the best practical way to meet my requirements for my project. He has done what he said he was going to do and he has maintained the project schedule that we agreed to. Clean-up during the project was always done at the end of each day and safety was a priority which is important. Thus far everything is coming out as planned and we are excited to see our new addition of the master bedroom with bathroom and walk-in closet on the first floor of our Cape Style home being built as we planned. Howard Contracting is doing a great job and would definitely recommend him for your next project.

Guy is a very talented professional contractor, I am so happy with our beautiful addition and very happy we hired him to build our addition! He is trustworthy, honest and takes a lot of pride in his work. He completed our project on time and within our budget. I would rehire him for future projects. He is also immaculate with cleaning up his work area at the end of the day, there wasn't a speck of anything left to clean. I really appreciated that.

His carpentry work inside was good but he walked away from a job he started. Outside work was not nearly the quality of the inside.
Response from Howard General Contracting
"I didn't walk away. I was forced to stop early fall because water was shut off--which I needed. I informed customer in spring I was very busy and had no idea when I could return. I also requested additional funds because the job was way over budget. Anyone who would consider me for a job is more then welcome to review my complete photo library of this job. I'm certain you would agree the workmanship was above average. Ill even give you address so you can do a drive by. For the record, these house are seasonal, no foundation, no heat. Very poorly built. I had to do a magic trick to try and bring this house back to life."

Guy was very professional, trustworthy and easy to work with. Best contractor we ever hired. He was flexible and offered suggestions. He was creative, adaptive and willing to complete additional work we requested once the project began. We converted an open foyer into a room, had a dormer built, house siding changed, maintenance free porch installed and custom woodworking built. Everything turned out absolutely beautiful. He has pride in his work and outstanding attention to detail. We would highly recommend Guy if you are planning on doing an addition or house renovation. We definitely plan on using him again for future projects.

My ratings likely will change. The kitchen is not done yet, probably another three weeks or so.

Finished on schedule, and on budget... Was willing to work around all our special requests, and offered several suggestions to LOWER the cost, rather than trying to "up sell". Honest, trustworthy...would gladly rehire

Guy was very professional and completed the work quickly. I had major water damage from a broken pipe this winter and needed ceiling repair and floor replacement. Work was done while I was out of town, when I returned the work was complete and the house was sparkling clean. I would highly recommend him.

Easy contractor to work with and he listens to your inputs. He worked to correct issues that were found, even issues his subcontractors created.

Guy was a pleasure to work with. From start to finish the job was done right. He has quality subs and takes pride in his work. Most importantly, at the end of the job when all that's left is the finishing details that some contractors neglect he takes his time and makes sure it is done right. I would highly recommend Guy if you are planning on doing an addition.

A very diligent and nice man but my house was a complicated job. I was to have a load bearing wall removed. All of the load came down upon two posts but he was not aware of how complicated the circa 1820 design was. He wanted to continue the job but was terminated. A company specializing in historical homes was brought in to finish the job. Also, too much of the ceiling along the wall was cut out and now needs to be redone, along with the kitchen base cabinets which need repair due to their manhandling when removed.

. He sold himself as an expert cabinet installer only later to find out that he "does not follow design plans or directions" - he ruined brand new custom cabinets by installing them the way he decided and his remedy was installing numerous fillers which led to more holes in the cabinets. Now the cabinets are being removed, repurchased and reinstalled by a true professional!
Response from Howard General Contracting
"This particular customer was a big problem for my firm. He manipulated the facts of the job with one main goal: NOT to pay for the work he contracted for. Thank goodness most customers are honest."
