This company (G C) was sent to us by AAA because we had a flood in the laundry room adjacent to our bedroom. Overall we are quite satisfied with the work that was done. This turned out to last several months, no as much for the work itself but the authorizations from AAA, and the results of different testing. Asbestos was detected in several places as the repairs were being done. In total most of the flooring had to be replaced, most walls and part of the ceiling had to be repainted. Our kitchen had to be emptied and the kitchen furniture as well as the appliances had to be removed. And then at the end needed to be replaced!
GC did the work in a professional fashion, several times needing to be intermediates between “jobs” and decisions they had little or no control over. All was done in a very courteous manner.
The one aspect that , as a customer, I would state was not included and yet is important, is the final cleaning of our home. During our walkthrough I was impressed on the work itself, the details in the work, but once we actually moved in, I realized how dirty our home really was. And once again it’s normal that after some 5 months of major repairs and construction the place would not be spotless! But as a courtesy to the homeowners, it would have been great to return to a clean home. We had a professional do the cleaning and it took 8 hours…

My Project Manager had poor customer service skills, the plumbers had to come 4 different times to fix leaks in NEW plumbing under the sink even though I sent them pictures of where the leek was at exactly. And they overbooked their crews to where they spent weeks at a time with nobody working at my house. The workers themselves were nice people. The owners were great and responsive.

Unfortunately, we had a ceiling leak in our downstairs bedroom. We contacted Generation Contracting and they were wonderful. They quickly discovered the cause of the leak, they repaired the damage and cleaned up beautifully. They are professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable. Their prices are fair and they were always punctual.We appreciate their kindness and expertise.

Thankfully insurance was involved and recommended Generation Contracting instead of the referral from Express Dry (who it seems was padding the hours, work done, number of hours etc.)
Generation was straightforward, honest and addressed all my concerns in a timely manner.
Absolute kudos to George (Jorge) for excellent dry wall repair, texturing and attention to detail in painting. The professional result was largely due to his work ethic. Good luck as you all transition to Aspen.
I had an amazing experience with Generation Contracting! Cedric was incredibly professional and walked me through the entire process step by step. He explained everything clearly, answered all my questions, and made the whole experience stress-free. My kitchen turned out even better than I expected — thank you Cedric and the Generation Contracting team!
Excellent team of pros! Quick to the site, and very good service. Experience with insurance claims, and large projects.
