Dale Koontz - Builder, Inc. Quincy, Ill. GQ All-Time Recommend Rate: 100% GQ 2014 Recommend Rate: 100% Type of Firm: Full Service Remodeler Website: koontzbuilder.com Scott Koontz You have to communicate with your customers! Return phone calls; tell them when you will be there; give them written specifcations; tell them what you will do each day; put change orders in writing. Te more you communicate, the more they feel comfortable about the process. Even if the news isn't pleasant, it's better to share more information than not to share information at all.

Cruickshank Remodeling Atlanta GQ All-Time Recommend Rate: 100% GQ 2014 Recommend Rate: 100% Type of Firm: Full Service Remodeler Website: cruickshankremodeling.com Brad Cruickshank For 35 years, founder Brad Cruickshank has told employees that "a broom is our most im- portant tool on any remodeling job." Prospects receive a branded, high-quality sweep broom during the initial sales call. Jobsite cleanliness is just one way to show thanks. Equally import- ant is respecting homes and property. We protect surfaces, provide dust protection and monitor air quality. Driveways are staked to prevent damage to yards. We believe in frequent communication, including a pre-construction conference and weekly meetings. Our industry standard AIA stipu- lated sum contract includes a schedule with draw amounts based on progress. Our bottom line: Respectful Service They know what is going to happen from week to week, who is going to be doing it, and what to expect from the renovation.
