We will call him again for other repairs and improvements and refer him to family and friends."

"Our basement remodel with Green Valley Construction turned out beautiful! Matt, the PM and owner, was great to work with from start to finish! Matt kept us informed throughout the project on the progress, subcontractors arrival/schedule etc. Matt kept the project timelines on track (which was crucial for us!). They did an amazing job finishing our stairway, giving it an awesome polished banister and spindles leading into a great new space and extra bedroom with legal egress! The painter has great attention to detail and is dedicated to producing a great finished product! Matt is very personable and does a great job without cutting corners. I highly recommend him for any project you may have!"
"Did a good job replacing the rotten areas with PVC material.
The carpenter found ants while they were removing the rotten wood. Though it will be an extra trip for them, they suggested that I get the area treated for ants. I am glad that they did not put the replacement PVC on the infected area to save their time. Thanks for doing the right thing.

"Nick and Pete (owners) with G & O Const. are nothing less than professional. I hired G&O for a new roof and to side the home as well. Working with Nick from start to finish really made my life that much easier. Nick was on site multiple times a day to make sure everything was going smooth. The workers did an outstanding job with the roof. In and out within 2 days. I was nervous about the loose scraps and nails being around the yard (dog) and driveway (car tires). The clean up job after every work day was SPOT LESS. Picking out the siding was also easy with Nick and Pete being just a phone call away for ANY question I may have had. G&0 Const. is as skillful and efficient as one would want working on their home!! Call them today and you won’t be disappointed!"
