"Where to even start. This company is leaps and bounds ahead of the competition. I recently hired Gervais Contracting to install a new driveway and handle the dirt work for a new garage. The proposed shed pad area was about 8 feet lower than the house grade. I consulted five other excavation contractors, but they only wanted to raise the grade by 1 foot, which would have caused significant water problems in the future. When Zach from Gervais Contracting came out, he expressed his concerns about this approach. He explained that simply raising the grade by 1 foot would lead to tremendous water issues. To confirm, I had an engineer visit my house, and he agreed completely with Zach's assessment. Zach then worked his magic, finding the appropriate grade to ensure maximum watershed away from the new building, eliminating any future water problems. Zach was the only contractor out of the five who provided the right advice and solution. Despite being a young guy, his knowledge in the industry is unmatched. From start to finish, he was easy to communicate with, always responsive to my calls, and incredibly knowledgeable. When the project was completed, my driveway was smooth as glass, and the shed pad was perfectly level and ready for concrete. If I could give 100 stars, I would. This is the best contractor I have worked with in my 56 years. Thank you so much, Zach, and your crew at Gervais Contracting! Incredible services that you guys provide, Hire these guys even if they have the higher price because you cannot beat the level of knowledge, honesty and above Quality work they provide !! You will not regret it"

"Great, dropped the load right where I wanted."

"In Spring 2012, we obtained quotes from three companies to tear out two existing retaining walls along the driveway and re-build them using Versalok, excavate and grade the backyard, and build a 3.5 - 4 foot retaining wall in the backyard using the stone from the old retaining walls. Genadek had the middle quote; they were also the only company to follow up with a phone call. The whole job took about 4 1/2 weeks. Stan, Mike, Tim,  Rob and Andrew were very professional and friendly; our neighbors even raved about them. They cleaned up the job site at the end of each day and communicated frequently so there were no surprises.
My only recommendation to those interested in hiring Genadek is to get on their schedule early. Their calendar books up fast!

"I'll make this short, but could write a novel. From the start he was great to work with, then once work began dates kept getting pushed and pushed. the wrong garage door was installed, I had a garage door opener installed that I didn't ask for (but am glad it's there now), the service door was the wrong swing, the apron had to be redone due to being the wrong size and it didn't have a slope to it. I heard over and over that he was just the messenger to relay the information to his sub-contractors. the project was completed one month after the 'promised' completion date. Once the project was comlete I have to say that I'm happy with the finished product, just the process was VERY frustrating. That's the short version...take it for what you will."

"This was not an excavation job. We had a fuel tank removed from our basement. They did a very nice job and cleaned everything up that they did and took everything that belonged to the removal of the tank with them."

"Due to many surprises and issues that arose, this project should have gone sideways ! It did not . Craig's skill and expertise in flooring with his ability to come up with a quality solution for major floor imperfection hidden by carpeting and an additional layer of tile, it got completed without busting our budget.  Swept and organized every night  so we could get around in the construction zone"

"Scheduling the work with Integrity was easy as they were very accommodating to my schedule.  The roofers did a good job of installing the roof and the quality of the work appears to be good.  We have had rain since the roof was installed and have had no leaks.  The subcontractor that did the fascia came out ahead of time and matched the color of the fascia so everything matched after the job was done.  The size of my sky lights are no longer made but Integrity called the company that made the sky lights and had them custom make the size again.  This saved a log of work and expense around replacing the sky lights.  The person we worked with was David and he was very accommodating and pleasant to work with."
