It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English.

After two years of trying the DIY approach with our deck stain only to see it succumb to the flaking effects of the spring thaw, my wife and I decided to go with the pros this year. After meeting with a few contractors and getting quotes, we selected G.R. General Contractors because they seemed the most knowledgeable, described the most thorough approach, and were competitively priced. Best of all, after we agreed on the price, they didn’t rush the job or take any shortcuts, but in four separate visits did a power washing, stripping, and sanding before, completely removing all the dead wood fibers that had caused our previous stains to chip and disintegrate. Only then did they apply two coats of Behr Premium stain on the final two visits. They were extremely careful and precise, protecting the exterior wall of our home with tape, as they applied two very even coats. We are extremely pleased with the results and, more importantly, look forward to seeing the deck in relatively the same condition when our Chicagoland snows melt some time by mid April next year. These guys were extremely professional, thorough, knowledgeable and friendly. I’d recommend them to anyone for such home contracting needs. Great job, guys!

We had GR General Contracting do some custom work and counters for our offices in Illinois. Gordon was very polite and very helpful. We discussed what functions we needed from the new office space and he was able to give us the counter space we needed for filling out applications and the protection we needed to separate the space from office and interview areas. Their team accommodated our schedule, they were polite and surprisingly…very very clean. And of course., their work was beautiful.

It went great! The crew that did the work were diligent and professional, polite and courteous, respectable to me personally, to my home. They did a great job of cleaning everything up when the job was done. We had a couple of little kinks. They were taken care of quickly with apologies. The completed new bathroom is even more beautiful than I could have anticipated. Gorden was easy to work with. He explained everything and helped with decisions. He is respected by his crew. I’m completely pleased with the work performed. When I’m ready for another project G.R. Construction Co will get my call. Thanks Gordy and your crew for my beautiful new bathroom.

Gordon and his crew (GR) did a great job adding finished space to our basement. The previous home-owner had made an attempt with insulation and a scattering of drywall. GR’s team removed material and added framing to create two finished rooms, a bathroom, a closet, and a space for the sump pump. These additions required new lighting, connection to the existing HVAC system, new electrical outlets, and drywall installation/painting. A drywall ceiling as well as painting the existing rafters was is scope. The bathroom was already roughed in, so connections were made and fixtures were installed. GR’s communication was responsive and professional. The scope of the project was discussed and documented. All completed work was good quality and we are happy with the results. We recommend hiring GR’s team for your project.

Gordon and his team were really great to work with. Not only did they give us an awesome finished basement, we appreciated that they listened to us throughout the process and were very open with any concerns or suggestions. Open, honest communication makes a big difference, and Gordon understands that. It was truly a collaborative process and we are very pleased with how our basement turned out. We would definitely recommend GR General Contracting for any basement and construction work.

Excellent! The best part was the communication. Gordon’s crew was on time every day and performed the work in a professional and efficient manner. The crew respected my home and my family…that was huge. Now that I am moving toward buying rentals and rehabs, Gordon will be called on again.

With a minor wrinkle of not enough paint initially being ordered, Gordon ironed out the issue, allowing for the job’s completion. His crew was detailed, meticulous, and thorough. The final result is a fabulously refurbished deck, meeting expectations.

Excellent. GR quoted the project at a fair price. Suggested changes to the new composite deck that was an improvement over the wood deck. The two men (Shane/Brian) did the entire project in a week. Everyday they made sure to update what was completed. Gordon Rudd contacted me throughout the project to make sure that I was happy and updated me on status. This project was completed in trying times and this company was outstanding. I recommend G&R.
