An appropriate replacement stair was provided and carefully installed. The politeness and courtesy of the skilled installers was simply outstanding. The custom work in fitting the stairs to the existing attic opening was a marvel of workmanship. The cleanup of the area was extremely thorough. We would hire GMG again without hesitation. We highly recommend!

When Ballard came out to give an estimate, he was very nice and knew his business. We noticed he did not take notes and said we would get the estimate in a week. After 2 weeks I emailed to ask for the estimate, and was told it would come that weekend. Another 2 weeks went by and I finally got it after yet another email. The estimate was missing some items. After all this we felt we were not valued customers and went with another company.

Ballard McFarlane of GMG Construction is an amazing Contractor. He generated awesome ideas, his respectful and clean team showed up every day, they finished my project on time, and even came in under bid! His amazing communication skills helped me resolve several problems with the contractor that did work before him. It seemed like he and his team were always going the extra mile. I found Ballard because of his incredible reviews and I hope to leave him my own. I wish I had known about Ballard McFarlane / GMG Construction earlier! Thanks so much Ballard, Jane and team!

They fixed the foundation on the shed and a few other random jobs.
They did a very good job. Good quality of work and the workers were all really good.

On March 29th, I made an appointment March 29th for May 12th. The site visit went well. The estimator was friendly and knowledgeable, made some good suggestions, and asked the right questions. The problem is that they never followed through. On April 21st, I sent an email asking after the estimate. I received the following: "I’m so sorry about the wait. [The Estimator} has been making the most of the good weather and has been in the field long hours. I should have it for you in the next day or two. Thank you for your patience." As of the 28th I still have not heard back. I very much feel as if my time was wasted by coordinating and attending the visit.

We declined and the monies pre-paid were refunded. I am giving the benefit of the doubt to this provider since he did not do the work. We were able to complete the repairs for a total of less than $1000.
Response from GMG CONSTRUCTION, INC.
"Our estimate was for extensive repair to a pump house that was 500 ft of steep, wooded, muddy terrain from where a truck could be parked. Perhaps the homeowner was able to get some small emergency repairs done for $1000, but not the major rebuild they asked us to price."

Great communication, prompt, hours well accounted for. Well-trained and versatile team. Daily clean-up and haul away of waste materials. Responsive to changes to the work order that I made on the fly.

"As this reviewer knows, the delay in starting work was caused by his electrician. When we finished the project, the reviewer liked it so much he asked for an estimate for additional work. He did not like that estimate. And thus, this review."

It went very, very well, and I had so much more peace of mind when he was finished. A lot of work ahead to stabilize the situation, but as soon as it is stabilized (and we've had a few rainstorms to make sure it's permanent!) I'm going to have Ballard out to completely finish the project.

General Remodeling, Siding Service + 1 more
We had another contractor turn a room that was tacked on to the back of our house in the 1930's into a laundry and half bath. That project went way, way over budget, so I stopped before the siding was put on.
Enter GMG Construction. I had bought an Angie's list deal, and after considering two other projects decided to use the deal to finish the exterior of the room (which was covered with roofing shingles)
GMG responded, indicating the work could be done within the labor I had already purchased, plus materials. I am glad I listened to their advice about siding. They recommended, and installed, lapped Hardie siding. The person who did the work clearly had done a lot of siding work before, and he took pains to do a really nice job.
The project went very well, completed in the time estimated.
GMG went above and beyond and carried the siding all the way down to ground level (partly below an existing deck). Additional flashing was installed and they even bolted a corner of the deck that had warped (Not part of the project but a very nice surprise)
And they finished a part of the underside of this room (which spans the stairs to the scary basement).
The siding looks great even though I have not gotten around to painting it. The primer color is pretty close to the paint color we already had.
All that said, it was a great experience and I am looking forward to using GMG for future projects (as I can afford them, aren't old houses just so much fun??)

"No contact? I had a very pleasant phone conversation with this reviewer just a few days before she posted this review. I try to be really respectful in these responses but what this reviewer is saying just isn't true."

Response from GMG CONSTRUCTION, INC.
"We are glad homeowner is happy with the ultimate results. We think a few of the criticisms in the review are unfair. Yes, the job cost more and took longer than estimated but most of the changes that caused that were mandated by the city. And the issue with the roof was caused by a different company, not by us. We resolved the roof issue, at no additional cost to the owner. A long remodel can be pretty stressful. We hope as more time passes the memory of the stress will fade and the enjoyment of beautiful new space will remain."
