Conard Construction Inc

Excellent work on my major water damage repair job. Gary and his crew are superb craftsmen, and the final result was great. Very professional company and worth the cost to get the job done right. Would recommend this company, I’m very grateful to have hired them!

Gary and his sons did a great job remodeling master bathroom & family room that I hired him again for the other bathrooms, laundry room and rebuilding my deck. His quotes are reasonable and the quality of his work (most of which he will do himself) is outstanding. I would use Gary again for our future kitchen remodel. What to know is that Gary can be not as responsive as he doesn't have office staff to support him.

Conard construction did a fantastic job on our bathroom remodel. They kept the area clean and safe for my children and cleaned up after every day. The work and detail in the project was evident. They did a quality job and took great care in making sure everything was top notch.

We've now used Conard Construction for several projects. They do what they say they will do, and more. This means that the estimates are fair, quality is top notch, and the unexpected items or requested additions are managed properly and with a handshake. Excellent work. Good people.

Gary and his sons did an amazing job - great quality at a reasonable price. They did most of the work themselves rather than farming out to sub contractors. I would definitely hire again!

I liked them a lot and they did and excellent work.

We had a water damage loss in our home encompassing two floors. After the cleanup by a professional company in our area we needed to find a competent contractor to come in to repair the damage. After searching the list we compiled we choose Conard Construction. Two of the five didn’t return after coming to do the estimate, one came in exorbitantly high and one bid on the job but couldn’t start until after the first of the year. Conard Construction came out and did the estimate, returned with his bid in a very timely manner and scheduled our job to start as soon as he completed the job he was working on. He offered suggestions that would make sense since we were down to bear studs in some cases. He showed up and did an excellent job. He never left messes behind. He did clean work throughout our project. I would highly recommend Conard Construction for any home needs you may have. I found him honest, trustworthy and dedicated to the task at hand. He was also our advocate when a subcontractor not affiliated with his business but hired by us independently did a very substandard job in our home. He found the source of our problem and made sure we were made whole by the end of the process. Conard Construction is an honest and very capable company to do business with.

This is the second time we have used Conard construction for a house project. Gary and sons were fantastic and meticulous in their work. They take great care in the quality of product they use and the work that they do. We will definately be hiring them again for our future house projects.

It went well, though the job took longer and was more difficult than initially anticipated, due to the poor quality of our cabinets when first built (not Gary's fault). Gary handled this well, did not request more $$ than his original bid. He was a good problem solver. Very professional. We would hire him again for similar work.

Gary is always very prompt and professional, he replaced the kitchen sink drain all the way to the main drain under the house which involved cutting into the back of the cabinet(which he patched) and removing some of the siding (which he replaced and repainted).

Gary did a phenomenal job completely remodeling our upstair bathroom. Originally we were going to just do a partial remodel and he was very accomodating in providing multiple quotes for different amounts of work. We finally decided to do the whole thing and I'm so glad we did. Gary's price was comparable to other quotes we got and his workmanship was outstanding. He is also easy-going and a pleasure to work with. He can do almost everything, but supplies his own sub-contractors to do major plumbing and electrical, and their work was also spot on. It was very nice to have to deal with one person! We really appreciated that he met with us at the different supplier showrooms to help us pick out items like tile and cabinetry. We are first time home-owners and this was our first time doing a remodel so we very much appreciated his feedback. He worked hard to find a tile that matched something I had seen online, and at a reasonable price. He also had great advice (for example, adding a towel pantry) which hadn't even crossed my mind. We never felt pressured and he was always willing to defer go with whatever we wanted and to work with us to keep costs down. We even added on some other small jobs around the house while we had him here and he did a great job on all of it. The end result was a bright, beautiful bathroom that we adore. We'll definitely be sticking with Gary for all our future projects.

Excellent work, at agreed fair price (checked against others), performed with timely communication and an easy manner that made everything just work out! We remain delighted with the outcome, and appreciate the attention to detail they brought into our home. Recommended without hesitation.

Excellent. Prompt, easy to work with, clean and always kept us informed

Recommendation of Conard Construction, Inc. I recognize these critiques are important. When I read a critique, I want candor. I would hire Conard Construction, Inc. (Gary Conard) for any job, anywhere in or around our house. We received 5 bids on our project to completely rebuild our main bath; including the installation of a large whirlpool bath. We had a complete list of all the elements (sink, tub, towel racks, cabinets, mirrors, etc.) to be installed. The bathroom was to be demolished to bare walls and rebuilt. Each contractor was given the list of items to be installed. The items could be found at Lowes, so each contractor could know the specifications by going online. Each contractor took at least one week to email us their bid, including the Lowes contractor. The bids ranged from $10,000 to $25,000 for labor only. Lowes was the highest. The cheap contractors gave us two-sentence statements of work; Lowes gave us a detailed breakout of six pages. Gary gave us five pages. When responding to the statement of work, Gary pointed out our design would be a bit awkward for bathroom users. He provided ideas related to cabinet design, bath surround, wall reconstruction and shower materials; ideas we had not considered. Gary’s bid was second highest at $23,000 with a detailed list of what he’d do. Lowes was highest. Additionally, Gary recommended we visit cabinet makers other than Lowes, other providers of tile and flooring, and other plumbing providers. We ended up buying nothing from Lowes. The quality of the materials we purchased from Gary’s providers were significantly better than Lowes; yes, those items cost more by about 20%, which included a discount Gary gave us on those items. Several of the ideas Gary suggested lowered the cost of labor ~ his fee! He identified work we could do ourselves that would save us even more. We did those things. The savings Gary identified from all his suggestions allowed us to expand the statement of work to include a re-tiling a hallway and guest bathroom as well as repair some woodwork. Gary’s work was not only detailed, he corrected some of the errors made during the construction of the house 30 years ago; e.g., our floor was not perfectly flat, which would have caused tile to break over time. He also had to work with missing parts from manufacturers. He handled all of it instead of just informing us. He hired an electrician, wallboard installer, and flooring contractor to implement their specialties. It was obvious he could have completed each of those areas, but chose to use part of his fee to have specialists do the work. And then he checked their work. He was different than other contractors we’ve hired in another way. The tone of his discussions with his employees and subcontractors was different; he was respectful and kind. He wasn’t bossy and he never raised his voice. We’ve heard harsh words towards subordinates by other contractors. No matter how frustrated he was or how long the day, Gary remained calm and confident in his employees and subcontractors. And now we have a beautiful new bathroom. There is no question we’d hire Gary again. If you can get him on your project, it would be a good idea.

Gary returned my call when no other contractors would, since it wasn't a large job. We had some odd sized spaces to deal with, so he offered suggestions which we welcomed. They stained the interior doors and installed pre-stained trim around them. They matched surprisingly well, and the trim turned out beautifully. He offered to install the new front door which wasn't on the original estimate (for a small additional charge), and it looks great. The work that he did tied everything together and made the house look finished. I would gladly hire him again and recommend him to anyone. He tries to help out those of us who have dealt with dishonest contractors in the past and has helped restore my faith in the profession.

Conard did some cabinet removal and met me a couple times for planning, but several weeks have passed since an abatement company finished their work and conard construction has not responded to calls or emails. I have started doing some work on my own and now have to start all over with trying to find a new contractor. I know everyone is busy now, but just looking for a 1 minute call or reply to my emails.

Removed some kitchen cabinets. Job was delayed by flooring abatement for several weeks. I think Conard is just busy with other projects. It would to get a return phone call and to get my key back.

Gary and his crew were very responsive and professional with a fine eye for quality. Gary always took the time to make sure we were getting what we needed as well as what we wanted. His suggestions to improve on our original ideas resulted in an exceptionally nice bathroom. Great Job Gary!

They were very professional and prompt. The quality of their work is exceptional and Gary had many good ideas to make the house safe since it is a rental. I have used this company several times and will continue to use them because of the excellent quality of their work and professionalism.

It was the best experience I had with a vendor from Angie's list. Response was timely. Estimate was very reasonable. Contractor was courteous and provided good service. Once the estimate was accepted, scheduling was immediate. The crew was professional, expedient, and kept me up to date on the progress. I will use them again in the future. I wouldn't go looking any further.

Conard construction was able to fit me in their busy schedule and get it installed within a couple of days. We ran into a few obstacles along the way to getting it installed but Gary worked very hard to get it done. I would definitely work with them again.

I am very pleased with the results. After coming out and discussing our ideas and making good suggestions, Gary was prompt with forwarding his estimate. All work was done promptly and to specifications with no surprises or hassles. He and his assistant were timely, courteous, and always cleaned up at the end of each day. I have absolutely no problem with confidently recommending him and will use him again if I have additional remodeling needs.

It was great working with Gary and his crew. Gary provided an estimate for tearing down the old deck and replacing it with a new cedar deck. Once we accepted the bid he provided plans and applied for the permit process necessary to do so. He was on time, efficient, and very detailed oriented. The work was done quickly and done well. Gary noticed a plank in the new deck had split and repaired it right away keeping me informed at all times. When working with Gary it is very apparent that he cares about putting out a quality product After the deck was finished at my request he submitted another bid for the staining of the deck and also completed that job too. I wouldn't hesistate in using Gary again for any construction project in the future.

I had originally contacted Mr. Conard thru Angie's List in August, 2015 because I thought I needed a handyman to look under my dishwasher for a possible leak. I was detecting a strong moldy wet smell but couldn't find the source of the problem. He came out soon after our initial telephone conversation to assess the situation. At first look, it seemed that problem was a faulty valve at bottom of dishwasher so dishwasher was removed so he could replace valve and water supply line. It was then that a hole was found at backside of water supply line that was allowing undetected water to flow under dishwasher and under fairly new remodeled combination kitchen/family rooms (2012) flooring and cabinetry. Because we were in the middle of a heat spell, mold had set in under all of the flooring and cabinetry. I contacted my insurance company who sent out a claims adjuster to assess the situation who then sent out a water damage service company to make further assessments. Unsafe levels of asbestos were detected, followed by a haz-mat crew to remove the asbestos before any actual repair work by Mr. Conard could be done. This delay took about a month (late Sept-early October) before actual work could be started by Mr. Conard and homeowner's insurance company to approve work. I was without  a functioning kitchen  until a week before Christmas!  Mr. Conard was great during all the unforeseen delays. His experience in construction and remodeling was very apparent in the finished project. My kitchen and adjoining family room looks and functions better than the 2012 remodel!
