Description of Work: They had to come out four times to complete the job in accurately, but they did and they got it done! They power washed the deck and painted it and replaced 3 feet of one board on the deck that needs replacement. It took some time but I got responses to all my emails eventually. Bottom line the job is done is done well

Description of Work: The original services contracts were not needed. Thanks to the integrity of the workers, they didn't simply proceed with the work. Instead, they placed me in contact with Gordon and we worked out other arrangements that exceeded my expectations. Great team that ensured only work needed was performed. I'd highly recommend GR General Contracting

We appreciate the opportunity to work with you, however the issue you had on this project was not with us but with the plumber and products you purchased. Our portion of this project went very smooth for working with what we were given. Maybe this was just a blank review across the board knowing that the plumber was found on A. List as well. We hope your projects in the future work out better for you. GRGC

Working with GR General Contracting and Old World Stone I first went to their warehouse to choose and tag two slabs. Great experience and I found beautiful slabs. They came out and VERY carefully measured my counters (with lasers) and went over my choices for corners and edges. Approximately one week later they called to say the counters were ready to be installed. Came out 3 days later, took out all existing and installed all new....all done in one day. Everything was hauled away and cleaned up to perfection. The stone work is just beautiful and after they cleaned up and left you would never have known any work had even been done! Follow up: I decided I wanted to redo a tabletop and they cut me a piece from the same slab so that I could create a new tabletop. It was done in 3 days, I picked it up (they even met me there on Sat morning even though they were closed so I could get it) and I now have a gorgeous piece of furniture that compliments my countertops, too.
Description of Work: Needed all kitchen countertops removed and replaced with Granite countertops. Plumbing work also needed to be done to replace sink, garbage disposal and faucet.

Gordon came over and filled all the woodpecker holes in my siding. He was on time, did the job quick, and charged a reasonable price. I plan to use him for much bigger projects. Very satisfied.

You must have the wrong company because I have never spoken to you about your deck. If you are still looking for a contractor I would be more than happy to help you. Thank you GR General Contracting

What an outstanding experience. A friend knew I was looking for a reputable handyman and recommended GR. The owner Gordon Rudd came out the next day and gave me a quote. It was exactly what I was looking for. Even better...they could start within a week! Originally I had only thought they would power wash and repaint the deck, but in the end they sanded, primed, stained and sealed it. It looks absolutely amazing...like brand new. Installing my attic ladder was very challenging due the small opening, but they embraced the challenge and customized to fit my space. I could not be happier with the end result. They were professional, in budget, on time, kept me informed and carefully explained everything they did. We are already discussing some other small projects I'd like to have done soon.
Description of Work: I needed a handyman to repair a couple sinks, install an attic ladder and refinish my deck.

GR is truly outstanding, extremely professional, punctual and reasonable. I was extremely impressed with not only the work done, but the professionalism of the workers. They paid extreme detail to each task and went above and beyond to make sure that I was satisfied with the end result. They made great suggestions and truly took the time to consult with me and were remarkably patient from start to finish. They completed the project on-time and in-budget. They even went above and beyond to do some minor things that needed to be done without adding to the overall cost of the project. Truly the best contractor experience I have ever had. All work was done exactly as discussed and quoted and with an AMAZING attitude which was truly remarkable. From the outstanding workmanship, great recommendations, keeping me consistently informed of the progress, and returning my calls promptly...I can honestly say I have had never had such a positive and enjoyable experience working with any other contractors.
