I would definitely recommend Gerald Nell Inc. as a general contractor. They are easy to work with, don’t “nickel and dime” you for every single “extra” and the fact that most of the work is done “in house” means it gets done faster, with greater continuity and less aggravation.

Dr. Michael S. Bubon - Dr. Michael Bubon & Associates

We also want to thank your people on the job and your subcontractors. Every one was very professional and showed a good, pleasant attitude throughout the job. A really nice touch was the cleanup effort done every Friday afternoon so our members could tour the project during weekend services. It was also very moving to have so many of your people attend the dedication service.

Jack Henry, Building Committee Chairman - Risen Savior Lutheran Church

With such short notice the response and sense of urgency was impressive. In addition, Paul and his contractors were very professional and thorough with their jobs. The contractors worked with our employees with ease while keeping Super Products on its aggressive time line. Super Products asked for numerous changes which needed to be quoted, or Gerald Nell Inc. was asked if they could just handle it. Both situations were done comfortably with each party.
