Last year, we hired Garlock Bros Construction to build our new custom home and we are absolutely…read morethrilled with the results. My husband and I interviewed several local construction companies and architectural firms. We selected Garlock Bros because of their professionalism and the look and quality of the recently completed homes that they provided as references. They also are very friendly, and you can tell they truly care about their clients. Office Manager Dana Colman and Bookkeeper Geri Bomia make you feel like an old friend the moment you come through the door. From start to finish, Jake Garlock was exceptional at guiding us through the custom home construction process. Although Garlock Bros provides complete design services, we found a house design online that we liked, so we purchased the CAD architectural design files. I use a power wheelchair, so we needed some modifications to the original house design for accessibility. Jake modified the CAD designs to reduce the distance between ground level and finished floor level to eliminate steps from the exterior porches into the house and create flush transitions between different flooring inside. He also made adjustments to the primary (master) bath and kitchen designs to allow additional space for wheelchair access. The total project cost estimate initially provided was very accurate to the actual costs. The cost of several of our actual selections for flooring, lighting, and other materials differed from the estimated materials costs (some higher and a few lower). However, Jake had enough "wiggle room" in the budget to allow for these changes without resulting in any significant overages for the final total cost. During the construction phase, Jake served as project manager and general contractor. Jamie Insley was the on-site foreman overseeing the construction team, subcontractors, and suppliers. Jamie's attention to detail, work ethic, responsiveness to questions and concerns, and overall quality of work was exceptional and ensured the overall success of the construction team. Even though we had done a whole-house remodel of a previous home in 2003, so much had changed with construction materials and technology in twenty years. Jake and Jamie explained to us the new materials, appliances, equipment, and techniques available and helped us choose the best products for our house project. We selected a few products that Garlock Bros hadn't used before. Jamie made sure the construction team understood how to properly install these products beforehand and oversaw every step of the process. Although we had a few minor delays due to subcontractor schedule conflicts and construction materials availability, Garlock Bros completed building our home in a very timely manner. Jake and Jamie communicated with us about these delays and worked to mitigate the impacts to the overall timeline. When our home was completed a few months ago and we were ready to move in, Jake and Jamie explained that they are still available to us whenever needed for questions or if we encounter any issues. Garlock Bros has a one-year warranty period on the construction, so if anything should occur once we are living in the house, they will be there to correct it. Overall, building our new home with Garlock Bros was a wonderful experience. If we ever need construction services in the future, we will definitely hire Garlock Bros again, and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking to build a custom home.

They will not even discuss helping us pay for the repair. I've been given numerous excuses why it's "not our responsibly". The salesman, Joe, is so nice when selling you the job but afterwards, he is extremely unhelpful and quite nasty. I had numerous people who were going to use them for windows and siding, etc, but they will not use them now, knowing they won't fix what they break. So frustrating but what can I do. If they won't help me pay for repairs what can I do. I will NEVER use this company again. NEVER!!!!

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!!! We used them to add a sunroom to our house. They said they would…read morestart at the end of May and have it completed for our July 4 party. They didn't show up until that week. This sunroom cost $24,500. The room leaked the first time it rained after the work was completed and has been leaking every time it rains for the past two years!! We have called once a week for the last two years to ask when they will fix it. They say they will be here and then they don't show or call. There is black mold growing on the floor all along the sliding doors. (It's a 18 by 18 room). We have videos and pictures of the rain leaking in which we showed them. Also, the caulking job looks awful because of the multiple layers used. The foreman (Dwayne) said he would fix it but of course he never showed or called. On one phone call we made, the salesman Joe, told us we were just going to have to live with it!! We have gotten a lawyer who sent two letters which was completely ignored by them. We put signs in our yard saying not to use them after trying and trying to get them to work with us. There was actually two people who stopped in after reading the signs to tell us they used them and had the same type of problems. After calling Dwayne today (2/11/18) to see when he was going to fix the problem he told us it made him mad we had put signs in our yard so he wasn't going to fix anything. Then he said he was going to turn it over to his insurance company which will take another year. They told us they have been here 17 times to fix it (which they haven't) Wouldn't you think they would have figured out the problem and fixed it by now if that were true?! BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY!

They returned my voicemail within a couple of hours and had me scheduled for the very next day, knowing rain was coming. They showed up ready to tarp the area, but since I already had shingles, they were able to fix it right on the spot--in under an hour. The whole process was easy, smooth, and stress-free. Great communication, fast response, and solid work. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone who needs roofing repairs or even just an inspection. Five stars!

Two weeks later, no response. I called and they told me "Matt is still trying to figure out how to fix it". Two weeks after that, I called back and they told me Matt had decided they couldn't figure out how to fix it, and wouldn't try. Later that night, I got a text from Matt saying "I'll be out Monday to look at your roof" - I said "great, thanks" - the next week, no visit, no response to my follow up texts. Such a super frustrating waste of my time, and the damage continued to occur over that 4-5 weeks I was waiting on them to decide what to do.
