Last night I got home from a 5 day visit to see my condo renovations for the very first time since hiring Coastal General Construction. I could not have been happier with my experience with them. I live on the top 2 floors, in a building which was built in the 1800s. Needless to say, taking on renovations in an old building are difficult to say the least. I have had experience-5 years ago, I tackled the upstairs. My experience this time, using Coastal General Construction, has left me asking myself why on earth I didn't hire them for the first job, upstairs. This time, Coastal General renovated my kitchen....they did a complete GUT job, moving walls, ceiling, plumbing, electrical, redesigning and relocating the entire space. From the day Jerry DeHart first walked into my condo, he listened intently to what I wanted. A few days later he brought back his business partner, Norm Clough to also understand what I wanted. After making all of my choices, I left to return to my other home. YES, I left Coastal General in charge to transform my kitchen/bedrooms downstairs. Not only did they completely transform my place beyond my wildest dreams, making everything I asked for possible without ever letting me know when or if they encountered issues common for a building as old as mine, they FINISHED AHEAD OF SCHEDULE! Not a few days, but by more than a month from what I was originally told. I never worried about a thing, and I was MORE THAN blown away at the outcome. Even our building manager has said that this renovation was the most professional, clean and pleasurable experience she has had. The staff could not have been nicer, I even had the chance to meet some of them this past week. The pride in their work is evident from the TOP all the way DOWN to each of the different employees. If you need any construction or design work done, please, please contact Coastal General Construction. They will not let you down. Jerry, Norm and their crew are the finest people I have ever encountered in the construction business. They care and their...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreCoastal General Construction has done several jobs on our home, some large, some small, but the results are always the same: top quality work, on time, and on budget. When there is an unexpected problem, both Jerry and Norm are right on top of it, keeping me in the loop. If a change order is necessary, they give good advise and fair pricing. Both were extremely helpful when we were designing the major renovation (lifting the house, installing a new basement, turning the house, complete gutting of the first floor, reframing a room complete, new plumbing, electrical, HVAC, windows, siding, roof, new floors, insulation, new kitchen and bath), there were several major unexpected surprises, but they responded quickly, priced it right, and finished the project exactly on the original schedule.They were also helpful selecting finishes when we were indecisive, and their advise was spot on. We have used Coastal General again, twice, and always recommend them to friends and neighbors. Iāll finish by repeating: top quality work, on time, on budget, fair and honest. What...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreMy husband and I have renovated two kitchens utilizing Coastal General Construction within the last 9 years since moving to Maine. In both of our homes, we not only got the best service and craftsmanship from this group of talented contractors, but we also got the best products at a fair price and ultimately, both of our kitchens far exceeded our expectations in terms of functionality and classic beauty. Jerry, Norm and their team listened to our needs, wants and desires and through their guidance and direction of their team of exceptional carpenters, tile installers, electricians, and plumbers, we ended up with exactly what we wanted in each of the renovations... I would highly recommend...
