They did fine. They did a bunch of work in addition to what was contracted. We contracted for 48 hours and they end up doing an additional of 20 hours.
Description of Work: I used the big deal of GMG Construction Inc. They rebuilt a porch and chimney, did improvements on the exterior of the home, repaired plaster and did some painting.
I have worked with various contractors over the years. None have been as good as GMG Construction. Ballard, Darin and Andy are complete professionals who I highly recommend. They went above and beyond the tasks on our project list. They did an outstanding job, cleaned up, are reasonably priced and completed the work on time and on budget. They strive for top-notch customer service and quality craftsmanship. Will definitely use them again!
Description of Work: We recently purchased a bungalow in Kirkland. Our Inspector gave us a list of repairs. We hired GMG Construction to repair everything listed on the Inspection Report, which included the following: 1) Mold abatement under crawlspace on exterior pony walls 2) Straighten three posts on NE side of foundation and add gusset and reinforce with plywood 3) Add post to beam Simpson hardware x6 on posts 4) Attic insulation level and even out 5) Add ducting in Master bedroom and closet to help on heating 6) Bathroom #1 shower caulk all corners to seal up 7) Remove toilet, inspect, clean, mold spray around base and reseal toilet 8) Kitchen edge of granite cut out old moldy grout edge and spray and clean and recaulk with mushroom color silicone grout 9) Patch ridge crack in entry room 10) Insulate pipes in crawl space 11) Roofing re-nail where needed without damaging shingles 12) Drill out bird block on exterior to bring up ventilation to code.Drill every bay without holes. 13) Apply baffles in attic bays where drilled and on existing to keep airflow good. This will prevent further discoloration to sheeting. Also spray sheeting where needed to restore and kill mold and discoloration. 14) Install light fixture in guest bedroom 15) Other misc. electrical, loose outlets, disposal wire under sink,light in laundry room 16) Repair gas fireplace Apart from the items listed in our Inspection Report, GMG inspected everything else both inside and outside of our new house (trim, doors, cabinets, fencing, gate) and fixed anything they saw that was done incorrectly or broken.

He was very knowledgeable as to what would be required for each project. His work scheduling was very booked at this time so we were not able to use his company. He recommended another company that could do some of our work for a reasonable price in a quicker time frame. He gave us hints and ideas of things that might help us in fixing several small projects. We are very satisfied and would call on his company for another bid if a large project is needed.
Description of Work: Ballard came out to give us an estimate for various small projects we needed.

Ballard's infectious enthusiasm, creativity, and attention to detail were a great benefit to our project. Tackling a garage finish/storage/remodel had scared us for years, but Ballard helped turn the proverbial disaster zone into a great usable space. Ballard showed a good balance between options, price, and functionality, and helped design a great solution that met our budget - in addition to leading the work, Ballard took a set of rambling "we wants" and created a well-thought-out design. He and his team were responsible and professional, and the workmanship was excellent. We'll be using GMG construction again, and would happily recommend them to anyone.
Description of Work: Removed existing garage debris; installed drywall throughout garage; built small walls to create storage spaces; installed shelving and storage throughout garage; built and installed workbench with flexible storage; helped design entire garage project.

They did a great job, it was done in a timely manner. When they came for their initial inspection, either they didn’t disclose or were not sufficiently clear that it would be more than the hours allotted within the deal and I had to cover the additional expenses. Aside from that the craftsmanship was of high quality.

I was extremely pleased with my experience with GMG Construction. Ballard McFarlane is very knowledgeable, skilled, and customer-oriented, and he leads a great crew. As I gathered estimates for someone to go up into our ceiling (in a hallway and 3 rooms) to insulate the pipes then do some cosmetic work, Ballard was the only one to notice subtle clues which suggested there might be poor air circulation between ceiling & roof and water damage above the ceiling. When he & his crew got up into the ceiling, that's exactly what they found; what a mess! They hauled out ~20 Hefty bags full of sodden black insulation, then ran dehumidifiers for a week until the beams dried out & they could proceed (including replacing some rotted parts). Ballard kept us informed, asked our preferences, but also made suggestions, has very good judgment. He & his whole crew were very responsive to our needs, including our occasional phone calls. (One Sunday, one of the dehumidifiers got clogged with ice and started leaking. I called; one of his crew came right out to check on and address the situation.) Ballard ended up calling the company that had installed our roof 2 yrs earlier to work out with them the considerations around which of them would install the necessary ridge vent (but left the final decision to us). The job ended up being much more involvement and thus took longer than originally scheduled (7 weeks instead of maybe 3 weeks if the moisture problem hadn't been there), and I'm sure it ended up overlapping with other jobs GMG had scheduled, but they kept up their professional demeanor and responsiveness, though at the very end I did specifically ask for a walk-through to address a couple of loose ends (which they readily took care of). We stayed in parts of the house that weren't under construction during the whole job, and particularly appreciated their cleanup at the end of each day, and their thorough cleanup of the worksite and driveway every Friday afternoon. Contracts & billing were sent by email, & communication about these were also handled in a friendly and professional manner.
Description of Work: Remove moldy wet insulation from ceiling in living room & hallway and make repairs; install ridge vent and other venting to prevent future moisture buildup; remove weird big old soffits from ceiling in 2 rooms; insulate pipes in ceiling in 3 rooms; install 2 skylights; replace ceiling damaged by moisture and prior removal of asbestos-containing popcorn ceiling; install recessed lighting in 5 rooms & a hallway; paint the 5 rooms & hallway.

They did good work. The quality and craftsmanship was good. They made everything as it should be by the end. It was a little bit of a struggle because there were a few misunderstandings because I thought the job was not what we agreed on. They came out quickly and made some adjustments to fix it. I think the owner was juggling a lot of jobs and I felt he was rushing through. But they were very responsive and came right out to make it right in the end.
Description of Work: They added some posts, beams and concrete pads to our house and leveled it due to sagging.

We started on May 18th 2009 and finished around Mid October. The work turned out great and we could not be more pleased. If something wasn't quite right, it was fixed right away. The workers are also top notch. They were prompt, professional, ,clean, and courteous. For the most part, his crew did the majority of the work. I would highly recommend them for anyone. A great bunch of guys.

Simply stated; we have not looked for another contractor since our first project in 2003. The experiences have been worry free and solid work.
Description of Work: As the General Contractor, GMG compiled the estimate, coordinated the work dates, supplies and contractors. The kitchen was striped down to the studs, new dry wall, cabinets, countertops, electrical, plumbing, window and door replacement. GMG, Ballard, is an incredible project manager. There are surprises with an on-going restoration of a 100 year old house and GMG has been a partner through all the big projects but there are no surprises with the construction company. GMG has been on-time and budget every time. In the event of a 'surprise behind a wall', they have been exceptional explaining the discovery, providing options and cost-control. Past projects GMG has partnered with us on are: foundation replacement of the original post-and-pier (2003), roof replacement (2010), sewer connection (2010) and bathroom renovations (2009).
It turned out fabulous, honestly. The work is in progress, but they have been here for about 4 weeks. They were here soon after we called them, the owner is on top of everything. He identifies problems that aren't obvious to us. He has a great crew that work well together and independently. They have a lot of skills and are here everyday by 7:30a.m. and leave by late afternoon or whenever that part of the job is done. They worked with the insurance adjuster throughout the whole project to identify areas covered by insurance. I would recommend them, I can't speak more highly about them. The price is what I would expect to pay for this amount of work.
Description of Work: GMG Construction is doing repair and restoration involving the removing of sheet rock and work due to asbestos, repainting in the living room and dining room, skylight work, repairs from mildew, replacing structural parts of the house and part of the siding.

We were delighted by their pace. Most work was completed in a 5 week period, without interruption. The crew cleaned up each night and restored our bedroom so we were able to live in the house for most of the remodel. Ballard McFarlane, the owner of GMG, was always available by phone to answer any questions or concerns. His crew showed up early and promptly, always willing to review the day's plan. The difference between the original estimate and final price was completely due to change orders communicated in advanced and authorized by us.
Description of Work: Complete renovation of galley style kitchen, including granite counters, granite backsplashes and granite window sills, new cabinets, new sink and hardware, installed new appliances, new linoleum floor, sheet rock encapsulation of popcorn ceiling, paint, flooring and crown molding. Removed carpet and restored existing hardwood floors in living room, dining rooms, master bedroom and stairways, painted walls, replaced interior doors and hardware, installed new window frame, complete replacement of 2nd story deck off master bedroom, floor and crown molding, sheet rocked and encapsulated popcorn ceiling.
