Hi Andrew,
I wanted to send you this email for two reasons. One to say thank you
from my heart for all that you did for our home and our family the last
3 months. The other reason is to offer a testimonial to anyone that is
considering working with you. Don’t forget to come over and take
pictures. I want to see our house on your website!......
Now that
we’ve had a few days to get settled in and take a breather, I wanted to
take a few minutes to write to you about our experience working with you
and A New Look Construction. As new homeowners, we were very stressed
and concerned coming into the process of remodeling. If you remember,
we were frantically searching for a contractor that we could trust for
this size of job. From the first moment that Jennifer and I met you,
you put us at ease. You came across very knowledgeable and
professional. The fact that you are licensed, bonded, had a
professional team of people, uniforms, etc..…helped quite a bit. So did
your wonderful website with the pictures, estimates, and testimonials
(which I'm writing one right now!).
As you know, our job lasted a little over 3 months. However, this was
right in line with the estimates and time frames that you gave us from
the beginning. From the living room, to new bathrooms, ceilings, a new
kitchen, entertainment centers, cabinet work, etc.. I can honestly say
that every single time you promised us a price or a deadline, you and
your team came through. That is the first and most important thing
that people look for in their general contractors, etc.. But those
aren’t the reasons that compel me to write this note….it was all the
extra things and all the late evenings and all the extra care that you
put into our home. I truly felt like you were building this home for
yourself with the amount of time and care you put into it. You and
your team were at my house EVERY SINGLE WORKDAY for 3 months. There was
never a day where I wondered if you were there, or if things were
getting done. The effort and more importantly the positive attitude of
you and your workers took so much stress away from me and my wife. In
fact, Jennifer and I would joke that you called me more than I would
call you! As you know, in every project there are going to be ups and
downs and certain problems/issues that arise. It was such a relief to
hear you say every time.. ”don’t worry, we’ll take care of it”….and I
knew you would.
Our old dark house is now a
beautiful, bright new home and we are soooo happy. It is also such a
peace of mind knowing that even though you have been paid in full, you
continue to call and check on us and offer to come by and fix any
problems that should arise. That is probably the third area that people
worry about in a contractor. Will he guarantee the work, will he be
around after the job is complete? And I can comfortably say that you
will be.
You have become more than our
contractor, we truly consider you a friend of the family. I know for
sure my daughter loves you and misses you too. We look forward to
seeing you often and spending more and more personal time together. It
is truly going to be our pleasure to be able to confidently refer to you
anyone that we come across in need of a contractor. Thanks again and
see you soon,
Farid M.
