One of the keys to providing outstanding service for our clients is the care and attitude we take in planning and scheduling our projects for success. We encourage an open and honest environment that capitalizes on the strength of the entire project team beginning in pre-construction through the construction closeout process. The Merrick Construction team consists of several key players. We have on-site project managers working in the field to make sure that all projects are running smoothly and efficiently. In addition, we have several high-end finish carpenters working on various projects and an office support staff available to answer the phone and email correspondence. It is important that our customers know that we are available to them if they have a problem or concern. Our customer’s are always satisfied with the service they receive from Merrick because the lines of communication are always open. Weekly meetings are scheduled with the home/business owner, which in turn, ensures that our customers are kept apprised on each phase of their project. All special order materials are reviewed and signed off on prior to ordering; this prevents incorrect orders and lost time. We apply a proven approach to planning, scheduling and estimating to establish a thoughtful approach to the construction process.
Ultimately, our client’s satisfaction and referrals are our reward. Hide

How Can We Do Better?

I had cheaper options than Merrick, but in the end I decided to back my gut feel that these guys were going to get the job done well, on time, and with a high level of attention to detail. My gut was telling me right. These guys are not cheap but they are excellent. I actually physically shudder when I start to imagine what might have happened if we’d gone with one of the smaller operators who quoted us. And how much it would have cost in time and money if we’d gotten things wrong. Merrick is the safe bet and will exceed your expectations. Feel free to call me on 6465120002 for a more detailed review. Dan McCarthy

From start to finish, the experience of building with Merrick has been great. They listened, supported and were incredibly responsive. This was an 'across the board' experience--from the owner, through the project manager, through the construction teams and subcontractors. The coordination with the rest of our team--designer, architects, engineers, etc.--was superb.
