"The siding quote was the lowest of three that had been obtained despite the fact that the materials quoted probably were the best of those in the three quotes.  I enjoyed working with the sales person and with the crew.  The entire installation process took about 1.5 weeks.  All work was performed as scheduled, e.g. the dumpster arrived as scheduled and was removed as scheduled.  Appropriate clean-up work was done at the end of each day.  The crew was allowed to store many of their tools in the garage and allowed to use the home bathroom (they put down drop cloths to prevent tracking).  Work was done with precision and pride.  Unusual situations discovered such as the need for foam sealing of a gap between the house wall and foundation exterior was done at no extra charge.  I am an "expert" do-it-yourself person, and their work met my high standards.  After completion of the installation, the building inspector asked me who had done the work.  I asked why he had asked.  He said the siding installation was one of the best that he has seen.

Wow...  Lot's of good and some bad here too.  First - I must say that I've never been involved with an extensive remodel before, so this was a big one for me.  Not having a lot of know-how with building things I hoped to rely on the contractor (GCM) for the oversight and expertise. 

I knew up front (after asking) whether they did the work or whether they used contractors - so, unlike other posts here, I knew what to expect - and this was fine with me - having contractors who specialize in a particular area is probably a good thing.  They could probably be more specific at the outset on this to avoid confusion though. 

As the other poster mentioned - the contractors were splitting their time with various projects - including a rather large commercial project with Pappa Johns.  This also didn't bother me - since I understand that they can't sit idle waiting for my paint to dry, tile grout to set, drywall mud to dry, etc.  This project did tend to drag on through the end of September - which seemed a bit long to me.

Part of the delay - and probably about $1000 added expense was my fault when I selected the most awful yellow paint for both main room and bathroom.  I had them repaint!  It was the best-spent money of the project!

The various contractors were both high and low points. 

Bad:

The people who sprayed the textured ceiling came unprepared - not enough tape to seal off the area - borrowed some duct tape from me, but damaged some painted areas removing it.

The wall that was installed to frame in the fireplace was so poorly done initially that I just about terminated the contract - nails sticking out whole sections of studs that were loose and uneven.

The sad part was that most of the quality control issues I had involved the GCM manager assigned to my project.  A nice fellow but not too concerned about quality.  This was unfortunate because it was what I really needed from them with my lack of experience in these things.

Good:

The tile contractor!! What a great job those guys did.  I had a natural stone tile selected for the shower - and they really worked h****** the placement of the tiles to ensure that they looked well.  It became the nicest part of the remodel.  Even the building inspector commented on how nice it looked!

The fireplace installer - The guy knew what he was doing - but they had already framed the wall for it without checking with him and he was forced to tear out the wall framing to install the fireplace - then GCM had to reframe the wall all over again.  The second reframing was the problem - the first guy who framed - and later came back to repair the reframing work, really knew his business.  That guy was quick and did quality work - as far as I could tell.  This took some skill on the part of contractors and GCM people because they had to work the venting around the main gas line along the outside wall - and gas lines running through the wall they were venting out of.  This left very little room to get the vent installed while avoiding gas lines in the wall and outside, and ensuring safe distance from privacy wall and sliding door.  They made it work and the fireplace looks wonderful and works great.

Finally - and most important, one of the owners, Ben, was terrific and was willing to bend over backwards to make sure I was satisfied with the end result.  This guy was very professional in handling every aspect of the project from the bid - which he was one of the few who came and gave me one, to satisfying my concerns and complaints.

Yes...I would consider using them again (perhaps not the project manager if I could avoid that), but they were up front about the cost - made allowances for multiple changes I requested (move the fireplace, recess the lighting, tile everything, and of course - that repainting issue I created).  With the exception of the textured ceiling sprayers, all the contractors were respectful and friendly and seemed to have a good knowledge of their craft.

"Had to wait nearly a month for the crew to show up and install gutters and downspouts, but the material and workmanship was absolutely first class."

"I was contacted via phone before I had even completed my information as to what the project would entail. He was very friendly and courteous. He set up an appointment immediately to review the project in person. He was extremely honest in stating that he had never done a project like the one I needed done. He spoke of his work experience. We were sent installation instructions with the materials that we were having installed and he asked if he could take one for further review before starting the project. He worked quickly, efficiently, and in a timely manner."
