Most helpful reviews & comments

What is this?

What is this?

We display two types of written homeowner feedback on GuildQuality member profile pages: Comments and Reviews.

Comments

In response to our customer satisfaction surveys, homeowners share lots of comments about construction quality, communication, or any other question asked in the survey. Guildmembers can selectively publish these comments here on their profile page.

Reviews

Reviews are different than comments. These are star ratings that homeowners ask us to publish, and they come with a written description of the type of experience they had working with their contractor. We publish all of the reviews we receive: positive and negative alike.

Comment on "Area Of Satisfaction"

Santa Barbara, CA on Jan 02, 2020
Matt Caliguire, the Project Manager, and Ian Ritchie, the Preoject Foremen, we’re both excellent. They communicated well with us and each other and went out of their way to ensure that the work was of the highest quality. They were also personable and thoughtful about our needs.

We were concerned about how disruptive the construction might be, but Allen Construction took great pains to minimize the disruption. They also lived up to their reputation of delivering on time and on budget.

It gives me great comfort knowing Allen's on site supervisor, Duncan Brown, has my best interest at heart. We have great communication and I am constantly aware of where we are in the project and where we are going.
