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.

I'm extremely impressed with the work that Chris, who is the lead on the project, is doing. I regularly refer to him as superman.

The quality of service and the fact that they called me back in a timely fashion was beyond expectation. They were very good and I would highly recommend them to anybody.

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.
