Gruver Cooley Corporation

Renovations are challenging and require a leap of faith for owners. Gruver not only delivered quality over and above what they were contractually obligated to do, but they also met or exceeded all the high expectations they set during the bid process. That's impressive given the challenges I now realize renovations present for both owners and contractors. Gruver was a wise choice.

Comment Area Of Satisfaction Washington, DC Dec 31, 2011

Professionalism of everyone we worked with including sub-contractors. Quality of work was excellent. G&C employees are perfectionists and would not stop until each part of the job was perfect even if we did not notice the imperfection. Job site was kept very clean every day. Everyone was a pleasure to work with.

Comment Additional Comment Rockville, MD Mar 03, 2011

The key reason I asked Gruver & Cooley to do this work was because of my trust in their professionalism and integrity. While I've always appreciated that, in this case the work was to be done in a vacant house that I wouldn't visit regularly. I knew that I could trust everyone at Gruver & Cooley to do first rate work and to take care of the property without my having to monitor it closely. That peace of mind was priceless.

Everything was competent and professional. It was a joy working with them. I cannot single out an area that stands out above general excellence.

David Jule was the supervisor on the job. His focus on the schedule and details helped the project move along. He is a terrific communicator and I know the other workers respect him.

Comment Area Of Satisfaction Bethesda, MD Mar 24, 2010

Going into our project, we were aware of the typical home remodelers' strained relationships with their builders. From the beginning, Gruver Cooley exceeded our expections. They kept within our budget, and, if any changes were necessary, they clearly communicated any additional costs. In addition, Gruver Cooley's craftsmanship and attention to detail were incredible.

Comment Additional Comment Leesburg, VA Jun 09, 2009

We love our house and it's a wonderful quality. I think Gruver Cooley did give us the product that we wanted - a very good house with thick walls, which are great. We are very pleased, we love our house, and get lots of compliments all the time about the detail and quality of our house compared to many other builders in our area - especially the track builders. The difference is not compatible at all - Gruver Cooley is head and shoulders above the track builders in the area. Everyone was nice to work with - and still we see them, so that says a lot. You wold talk to them, you wouldn't run when you see them.

Comment Additional Comment Arlington, VA Feb 21, 2009

On the whole, the company really stands alone for their exceptional personal relationships, honest and integrity. In a world where this has become virtually obsolete, we're sure Gruver-Cooley will be around to celebrate their 200th anniversary.

Comment Additional Comment Arlington, VA Feb 16, 2009

I like the Gruver-Cooley Corporation, have a nice rapport and trust with their employees and will continue to use them for all my home improvements.

Comment Additional Comment Arlington, VA Feb 12, 2009

The people are great. I just can't say enough. I've used them twice. My house is built so well and I've had very little problems. I've been here nine years and all in all everything is great.

Mike Leak is one of the finest guys that I know from Gruver-Cooley. His sons are wonderful too. Chip Gruver as well.

I would never hesitate to recommend Gruver-Cooley to anyone. I've heard horror stories about home remodeling, and we would work again with Gruver-Cooley in a heartbeat.

Comment Recognize Excellence Arlington, VA Feb 08, 2009

Chip Gruver is a true gentleman and a delight to work with. David Jule was fabulous and was a pleasure to work with. Chip Gruver also recommended our architect, Margaret Rast, who was excellent, as well as the interior designer, Claire Milton, also excellent.

I have and will continue to recommend Gruver-Cooley Corporation highly as I believe them to be the best custom home builder in the area both in terms of the quality of the final product and the honesty and integrity of Chip Gruver.

Comment Construction Quality Fairfax, VA Feb 03, 2009

I'm very impressed with G-C's standards. They wouldn't let anyone (included us) put something in that was not the best quality material or the best job.

Comment Communication Fairfax, VA Feb 03, 2009

G-C immediately worked to create rapport with us and gave us complete access to everyone whenever we raised a question or issue. They keep us informed very well and managed our expectations perfectly. When issues arose everyone worked to find options and solutions and explain the tradeoffs to us and offer advise. We greatly benefited from their efforts to communicate in our terms.

Comment Additional Comment Bethesda, MD Jan 31, 2009

I have had extensive dealings with Gruver Cooley for over 10 years. They custom built an award winning home for me as well as extensive remodeling of a condominium I own. I would recommend them highly to anyone without any reservation whatsoever. They are of the highest quality in workmanship and in the integrity of their business practices

Chip Gruver is one in a million in today's world. He prides himself in the quality of his work and the integrity with which he conducts himself with clients and sub- contractors.

About GuildQuality and our Guildmembers

Homebuilders, remodelers, real estate developers and home services companies pay GuildQuality for customer surveying and performance reporting. We refer to these companies as GuildQuality Members, Guildmembers, or members.

Our service helps Guildmembers monitor customer satisfaction and -- if they choose to publish survey feedback on our public website at guildquality.com -- articulate the quality of their service for prospective customers.

All of the Guildmember information we publish at guildquality.com has been provided to us either by the member (such as pictures of work and biographical information) or by their customers via one of our surveys (customer comments, performance summaries, and reviews).

Surveys, Comments and Reviews

All of the customer feedback that we publish is derived from the customers we survey. Our Guildmembers provide us with their customers' contact information, we conduct the surveys, they receive the feedback, and -- if they have chosen to make their feedback public -- the member's performance report is automatically updated to reflect the response. Members may choose to publish a summary of either all of their feedback or their most recent twelve months of feedback.

In addition to average performance ratings and survey statistics, GuildQuality also publishes two types of customer commentary: Comments and Reviews.

A comment has been provided by a survey respondent in response to any one of the survey questions we ask, and a member may or may not choose to publish it. Often customers provide unsolicited testimonials or compliments, and members can choose to share these comments in their published performance report.

Many Guildmembers choose to participate in our formal review process. These members have added an additional question on their survey: "If you'd like to provide a public review of your experience working with the Guildmember, please share it here." In contrast to comments, which a member selects to have published, we publish all reviews, provided they are at least 30 words long. With each review, we include a one to five star rating provided by the survey respondent.

Important Information about choosing a Builder, Remodeler, or Contractor

It is important to note that GuildQuality does not endorse the qualifications of any company. We make no predictions, warranties or guarantees, expressed or implied, about the quality of any work a company on this website may provide. GuildQuality does not accept any liability whatsoever for any harm that might result from any statements presented on this website.

Prospective customers should weigh a multitude of factors when choosing the right building company, and never depend on a single source when making their decision to purchase a home or hire a contractor.
