Lee B. "Larry: Just a note to let you know how much I appreciate the work you did on my brother, Robert's home. Everything had to be done to Veterans Administrations requirements and the proposal you submitted was detailed and complete. The work was done professionally and completed on time, and within budget. Your sub-contractors were courtesous and professional. Although Robert can't speak for himself, I know he is pleased with the work that was done, and he is enjoying his new room."
Pat M. "We added an addition to our home in Happy Valley Oregon late Summer/Fall 2009. We got 3 bids on the project, and while not the lowest bid, Phoenix Group Construction had the most thorough. Larry Mock personalized the bid meeting with a face to face meeting to explain his processes, billing, follow up, and supervision and convinced us he was worthy of our business. The billing of the project on a weekly basis based on % completion of items was very clear and easy to follow and converse about. And anything that was not the same as the contract was discussed for resolution. It was a pleasure dealing with a true business that cared about the customer. We love our addition and feel it was money well spent, and we would recommend PGC to our friends and neighbors."
Mary M. "Professional, prompt, perfect! My bath remodel, update looks fabulous! PGC does quality work! I especially liked that everything was on schedule and all were professional and easy to work with. I highly recommend PGC to anyone considering a home remodeling project."
Ross B. "Until we met Larry at Phoenix all of our efforts just ended with a sigh. There was little inspiration and we had little confidence that such a large expense was being taken as seriously by would-be contractors as it was by us. With Larry we had, for the first time, a partner who was willing to embrace changes in scope, design and timing--all before the project even started. And with his assistance we finally got a plan that not only met our criteria, but also had a real "wow" factor to it. On time, on budget and with great courtesy from all who entered our home, Larry made it as painless."
Grant N. "My experience with Phoenix was nothing but positive. I contacted several contractors looking for the right fit for me and someone I thought would complete the job in a reasonable amount of time. I chose Phoenix because of all the contractors that put together bids, Larry was the most organized and the quickest to return a comprehensive and understandable bid. Knowing the horror stories of others that had gone through remodels, I figured this had to be a positive sign. I am pleased with the outcome, and happy to recommend Phoenix. Larry is extremely conscientious, knowledgeable and creative in his work. And I like the guy - how odd is that?"
Mark and Andrea M. "We are very pleased to recommend Phoenix Group Construction for any remodel or construction related project. Larry Mock and his subcontractors did a kitchen, family room, powder room and laundry remodel for us in 2008. The project started on March 17th and ended on June 3rd as scheduled. The work was completed on time and within budget. We are delighted with the results and complement Larry for his attention to detail and overall management of the remodel."
Jim H. "I interviewed five general contractors whom I invited into my home after checking their licensed status through the state of Oregon. Bids on the project ranged from approximately $20,000 from two brothers who didn’t seem to have any ideas on how to advise us on the work to nearly $50,000 from Neil Kelley, who wanted to take total control of every detail and decision. I ultimately selected Larry Mock and PGC for a number of reasons:
- Weekly billing of work performed with detailed explanation;
- Initial walk through with all sub contractors;
- Positive comments and experiences from references;
- Complete explanation of the phases of the project and a project plan;
- A reasonable estimate of costs and explanation of alternatives.
The project was very well managed and we were very happy with the result."
Dennis and Kay W. "PGC wasn't the cheapest bid we had received but we chose them because we were impressed with the way they listened to our wants and needs and we thought they would work with us. I am happy to say they did, every step of the way. Larry does have a problem though, he's a perfectionist and was there every day to inspect the work and talk with us. At this time he had the crew redo anything that didn't please him, things we wouldn't even have noticed. We wouldn't hesitate to hire PGC for another project and to this day, we still keep in touch with Larry. This company is run the way a company should be run. Shame there aren't more like them, they are winners."
Bill and Linda H. "Larry was an integral part of the design and construction team from the beginning of our extensive kitchen remodel. He offered design ideas, sound advice on building materials and was always willing to collaborate with us to meet our needs. He was quick to manage through any delays or material mishaps and handled all situations that occurred with expedience and efficiency. Because he was consistently fair and worked on our behalf to honor our requests we came to trust him completely. We would highly recommend Larry and we have come to respect his professionalism and integrity."
Chris G. "PGC provided an estimate that was comparable to others for the repair, and after selected them we were extremely impressed by the courteousness, professionalism, and efficiency of their work. These guys are A++ professionals and I will entrust all our future remodeling and repair work with Larry and PGC."
Ida W. "Being a minority and a woman who does not understand anything about construction at all, and having a disabled husband who could not help in making decisions, I could have been easily taken advantage of by an unscrupulous contractor. However, you were completely honest and trustworthy, and very respectful in our business dealings. Yes, you certainly have quality and integrity. Thank you very much for being so helpful, considerate and patient when explaining situations that I did not understand."
Amanda J. "We certainly appreciate all you have done for us….. Thank you for all of your effort and hard work. We love our new home!"
Bryan and Julianna K. "Larry, you are a pretty terrific guy in our eyes.....We last worked with a builder who left us completely on our own to deal with subcontractors and we had to fight tooth & nail to get things done.....Thank you for all your time and energy."
Lynn G. "Larry handled unforeseen changes well and seemed to just fold the redirections along the way into the work in a smooth fashion. Many aspects of the remodel were unusual and he solved problems as he went along in a sensitive and creative spirit. He kept the cost down while doing a job that would be of lasting quality. I would use him again."
Todd A. "Starting with the bid process, through the construction phase, and to the completion of the project, we found Larry and the team of trade’s people with whom he works to be committed to quality, service and cooperation."
Robin F. "Larry’s commitment to quality and customer service is excellent. I am pleased to recommend him."
Sam S. "Thank you again for the outstanding craftsmanship and customer service. We look forward to our continued partnership."
Illetta J. "Larry will come to the job site and see what needs to be done and then prepare a written estimate as to what your cost will be. If you accept, the work is completed in an efficient and acceptable time frame. Very good job at a reason cost."
Rak K. "Our previous experience almost turned us off. Our experience with you has convinced us that you were the right builder and that one can have a win-win experience."
Gary W. "Great job! I am definitely a satisfied customer."
Pat B. "It was a pleasure working with you and will be happy to be a reference for you if you ever need one."
