Last year, we hired Garlock Bros Construction to build our new custom home and we are absolutely thrilled 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.
Garlock Brothers Construction performed superior work from start to finish as we transformed the exterior of our 4th generation farmhouse. The project included the removal of all existing siding, gutter, storm doors, chimney structure, and roof repair, and the addition of a full pillar-style concrete front porch, new siding, new drainage tile, installation of new cultured stone, and new concrete sidewalk. From the initial project quote to the final completion of work, Garlock's communication was superb. Jacob Garlock was in constant contact with us, guiding us through the selection of materials and updating us on projected start date and project timeline. When the time came to begin the project, our crew of 3 carpenters worked efficiently and with great care. We were in communication with our crew of carpenters on a daily basis, making adjustments and decisions as questions arose. Our site manager, Joe May, provided exceptional attention to detail throughout the project, and ensured that all subcontractors, including masonry, drainage, concrete, electrical, and gutter were on site to complete their portions of the project when needed. These teams operated like a well-oiled machine, and at the conclusion of the project, we were absolutely overjoyed with the results. Remodeling the exterior of and adding onto an old farmhouse is never an easy task, but Garlock successfully did so without issue. Our beloved farmhouse received a much needed facelift, and we are extremely proud of the final product. We would, without reservation, recommend Garlock Brothers Construction for your home building and remodel needs.
