To whom it may concern:
It is my pleasure to write this unsolicited letter of recommendation on behalf of Bob Flynn. Bob
was the general contractor for a remodeling project on the exterior of my house in the fall of
2010. I had no prior relationship with Bob, who was recommended by an architect friend of
mine. The scope of the remodeling involved window replacement (22 windows and 3 patio
doors), siding replacement (approximately 4000 sq. ft.), replacement of 2 decks along with
installation of stainless steel cable railing, and roof replacement (approximately 2400 sq. ft.) for a
three level house built in 1978. The project took 8 weeks and involved 4 work crews (carpenters,
siding, painters, roofing) plus electrician and structural engineer, at a budget of just over
$100,000.
While major remodeling is inherently stressful for almost any homeowner, Bob’s services as a
general contractor were invaluable, and I am extremely pleased with the final result. Specifically,
I would give Bob top marks in the following areas:
1. Quality of work performed.
The quality of work done was consistently top notch. Bob
used subcontractors who were knowledgeable, skilled, and competent in their respective
trades. They were conscientious about following project specifications, and their work
product rarely needed improvement or revision.
2. Quality of work crews.
Other than one relatively minor exception which Bob promptly
addressed once I brought it to his attention, the workmen whom Bob utilized were
professional, reliable, courteous, and respectful of the homeowner’s property and privacy.
They had an old school work ethic (often 10-hour days, some Saturdays), good work habits,
strong safety orientation, and emphasized getting the job done right rather than doing it fast.
Their pride in their work was evident. They tidied up at the end of each workday. I also
found them to be trustworthy, and my wife and I felt comfortable with allowing them access
inside our home.
3. Project management and coordination.
Bob’s prior experience working in construction
really paid off. He was knowledgeable about all aspects of our project, and was able to plan,
coordinate and manage the activities of different work crews effectively. He remained
closely involved in overseeing the project from start to finish. His excellent attention to
detail, strong organizational skills and commitment to follow-through are assets which
enabled him to juggle the extensive details involved in our project without missing a beat.
Bob’s familiarity with building codes and dealing with city hall also facilitated a smooth and
hassle-free process when it came to building permits and inspection.
