Re: Letter-of-Recommendation

Dear Dave,

In 1987, you designed and constructed a 2-level deck at our last home located at 11596 Paramus Drive, N. Potomac, Maryland. The decision to hire you for the job followed interviewing and receiving bids from three other contractors. Since all of your references checked out well and your bid to construct out deck was the most competitive, we gave you the job. We were pleased with the quality of your work and your ability to complete the job within the time promised.

  In 1991, we decided to finish the wall-out basement at our Paramus Drive home, to include a full bath and wet bar. Even though we had drawn up a rough basement sketch, we asked you and each of the other three contractors who were bidding the job to recommend any changes to the proposed floor plan that may enhance the finish, without increasing the cost. You were the only one who made detailed design suggestions, and your bid was the most competitive. We were pleased with your ability to complete the job in a timely fashion with minimal disruption to our daily life. The craftsmanship and quality finish was superb.

In the summer of 1992, we purchased a one-acre lot and approached several builders/developers to bid the construction of out 6000 sq. ft. home. Large, reputable, local construction companies as well as smaller building contractors were considered for the job.

During the bidding process, we were especially impressed with your knowledge and the time you took with us to ensure that we understood the quality of materials and workmanship that your bid included. Despite significant differences in the bids we received, your contract price was the most competitive and included a more compete finish and higher grade of materials, appliances and fixtures. It was surprising to us that the quality of materials you proposed were comparable, or in most cases better than, those proposed by the other "higher priced" bidders.

In addition, your proposed (and actual) completion time was shorter than the other three bidders which was important to us since we were responsible for paying the interest carry on the construction loan. You also worked well with our architect Robert Greenberg and the Potomac Bend Architectural Control Committee, which as you know, was quite particular about making certain the design of all new homes built in the project conformed with all community covenants and committee requirements.

Finally, the coordination of subcontractors, management of time and the control of work orders was executed professionally by Lisa in all phases of the job. All of the subcontractors and workman were polite, friendly and unobtrusive.

Although we have been in our new home only a short while, we have received many compliments from our friends, neighbors and independent trade inspectors. In retrospect, our decision to engage you to build out home was the right and best choice in light of the quality of your workmanship and your ability to meet projected completion dates while staying within our budget.

We have enjoyed working with you, Lisa and your company and are very pleased with the success of this undertaking, as you should be with your accomplishment. We will be happy to serve as a reference in the future and would not hesitate to use your company again should the need arise. Again, many thanks and best wishes for your continued success and prosperity!

Best personal regards,

Mr. and Mrs. John G. Mergner, Jr.
