Stay away from George's Garages if you prefer not to be strong-armed! HORRIBLE people to do business with! Payed over $19k of their contract payment schedule (to the cent) and they are refusing to finish my garage because they calculated the payment schedule incorrectly. Now demanding more money to finish my garage when I have paid exactly per the signed contract! Nancy the VP and Owner is absolutely a terrible person to deal with! BEWARE! Do business with George's Garages at your own risk!

We first contacted George's Garages in May for an estimate for new garage, new cement parking pad and new cement walkway. From the start of this project, Shannon George and Lisa (office staff) were there for any and all questions we had. The pulled the permits for the work and kept me apprised during each step of the process, from the tear down to the concrete pouring, all the way to the final inspections from my town inspectors.
The teams who did the work were friendly, knowledgeable and hard-working! I am so pleased with my new garage, carport slab and sidewalk! Even with this pandemic, they were able to get the work done, and in a very professional manner. I would HIGHLY recommend anyone thinking about building a new garage, to contact George's Garages!

Critical: Professionalism, Punctuality, Responsiveness Not on time. Do not send professionals to work. A big headache. I caught on my cameras how one of their employees dented my door and they denied it after showing them the video. Had to be calling them to get the work done. Not on time. Electrician left us with no power and did not want to come back to fix it.

I would give them ZERO stars if I could. They completed a garage, and left with several glaring issues, hoping the 86 year old women wouldn't notice, she passed never seeing the garage. When I inspected there were a number of issues they should have seen. My wife called and they were to have someone out by end of week, as the house was put up for sale and the potential buyers ALL noticed the issues with the new garage.
Then I called into the office, the woman on the other end was rude, lied several times as to why they didn't come out as of yet, giving me all kinds of bullshit excuses, I can't tell you how many times the truck broke down on the way, they must hove only one truck, or one carpenter. Finally, were pulling a guy of another job, he'll be there tomorrow, its 4:30pm, nobody here, stood up again.
Buy your garage from a reputable builder, they were not the cheapest and I would NEVER HIRE them or NEVER RECOMMEND them to anyone. Average price, VERY poor quality, and lack of communication once they had a check and signed deposit. One of the worst companies I've done business with in my life, if you buy anything from them, at your own risk.

Very nice contractor to work with. Hired them to demolish and build new 2 car garage. Employees were on point from our sales, Brian Crothers coming to our house to its actual builder employees are all friendly and knowledgeable. Not counting the foundations they build my garage in a day. It's been a year and up to this day I didn't see any bad workmanship. My neighbors complemented my garage and actually called them to build theirs as well. Thank you George Garages!
