I am from a family of contractors, so, I can confidently say that I am familiar with the habits of good contractors and bad. John Rosa is a contractor that you will want to work with. We struggled even getting people out to come give us bids on our project. We needed to turn an old cattle barn into a horse barn and it was going to involve concrete work, demolition, and construction. John immediately returned my call, arrived to do the bid on time, and was a pleasure to work with from there on out. After meeting the other guys that came out to do bids, we knew as soon as we met John that we'd use him to get the work done. John gave us a bid for a huge project and actually came in under budget when the thing was done. He helped me work with the stall door company to figure out what we needed and what would be the best use of our budget. Even the stall door company was impressed and told me they were happy I was using him since he told them he always read the directions! One thing I cannot stress enough is how efficient these guys were. The subcontractors were phenomenal. Dennis did the concrete and knocked out 80' worth of concrete stantion feeders in a day. (Full apologies to Dennis AGAIN for not moving the stall mats beforehand. He was a gent and did it for us.) The demo folks came out and knocked out a garage that was built into the barn in just over a day. A GARAGE - I'm talking walls and a full set of stairs to access overhead storage. Then there was John and JT. We had five 10' x 16' stalls that were put up in less than ten days. When the stall door company ultimately caused delays and problems in keeping the project on time, John was completely understanding and worked with us to keep us on track to have stalls before the rain came. Every day we came home, serious progress had been made towards the end result. It turned the project into something to be excited about rather than something to stress over. And here's the other thing - I have animals. Lots of them. It's a serious concern for me to have people out at our property when I'm not there to manage our herd of minor and major livestock. John and JT not only kept a watchful eye on my horses (temporarily housed just outside the construction), but even developed a lasting friendship with our resident chicken. I would not hesitate to recommend these guys to work on your project and around your family. This a straight-laced, professional operation. If you've got any kind of job you need done, don't waste your time with anyone else. Just call John. We're already calling them back to do additional work!
How's that for a happy customer!!
