Just wanted to Thank You for a wonderful job on Rt 267 in Choconut Pa. I drive this road several times a day and have never seen a better, more professional job. Clean, orderly, and the lines were replaced after each work day. Top notch job! Thanks to all your hard workers.

It has taken them over 4 years to pave 1 mile of road on north Atherton street. When you ask about it, you are told it's taken 3 years longer than promised due to unforeseen circumstances, like snow in the winter in Pennsylvania. You didn't foresee that it snows in the winter in the northeast? Ferguson township is an absolute dump run by people who don't care at all about one person they serve in this township, I'd rather drive my car through North Korea, as North Korea has more pride in their infrastructure than the clown show that runs ferguson township. Also stop having your employees give you positive reviews, that's a violation of googles TOS, tell them to get back to work.

This has to be the worst company when it comes to planning, traffic control and accountability. More than half of the employees are always standing around. They always impede traffic instead of driving past it to make a u-turn etc. The raffia control employees are completely undertrained, and the signals would do a 100% better job.

Really love how this company decides to do construction at 5:30pm on Atherton in the middle of rush hour, instead of off-hours (which would have been the respectable thing to do). It took me 25 minutes to drive one mile. I could've walked in half the time.

Roads are horrible in State College, especially N. Atherton. Never seen roads this bad. They block every single main road and cause massive traffic on busy days. I'm new to State College and this is the worst I've seen in a small borough that's not even a large city. Fix your horrible roads!

I have 5 cars, 3 of which have had headlights go out after doing delivery in state college for a few months, this is due to the absolutely pathetic work done by GOH construction. There are places in war torn areas of Syria that have better infrastructure than areas in state college where these GOH pavement apes are found. These bums take every contract they can sign with a pen despite not having a sufficient labor force to cover it, that's why you see projects like North Atherton take 2 years to complete when it should take a few months.
Everyone that has to drive through, live, or work in state college should file a class action lawsuit against both GOH and any township that hires such a low quality labor force to work on public roads.
