Report
I would give ten stars if I could! Glenn Peel and everyone that worked with him on my project were extremely professional, respectful, very thoughtful in the work every step of the way, and did absolutely beautiful work. My project was an in-law suite apartment addition to my home for my parents. I wanted it to allow for privacy and comfort, in a budget I could afford. I had no idea where or how to begin such a project.
In my first phone call interaction with Glenn he was informative, and in my first meeting with him, he was very generous with his time. I had so many questions and he was patient and answered everything. He designed a floor plan that would make the space as comfortable as possible. Glenn and everyone working with him were very detailed and they were all so professional. The work from Glenn and everyone was impressive.
It was plain to see they are all experts in what they do. The end project is just so beautiful! I tell everyone I can that I just cannot say enough great things about Glenn the team. The right contractor can make all the difference in the world. I am so thankful that I was lucky enough to find the right one. Thank you Glenn and all for everything!
