Client Testimonials¶
What GYC Group's homeowners say about their building experience. Sourced from gychomes.com/more.
R. L. Young III¶
"Mark & GYC Team, I would like to extend belated, but sincere, thanks for the time, dedication, and commitment demonstrated by you and your colleagues throughout the work your company performed on our home.
While word of mouth describing your organization's wherewithal serves you well, it fails to fully convey GYC's skill and expertise. No matter the project phase or anticipated challenge, your team demonstrated professionalism, patience, and solution orientation. Importantly, they were consistently mindful of deadlines and budgets.
As you know, planning and management is only half the battle, implementation of our project demanded that your people, both GYC employees, and subcontractors alike, spend time in our living space for many months. We truly enjoyed our time with them and occasionally find ourselves longing for the presence of the good humor of your colleagues."
D.J. Farace '87 — Head of McDonogh School¶
"I extend heartfelt thanks to you for your role in making the new Head of School House a reality. It is truly magnificent. When I first saw the design plans during the interview process, I was overcome with emotion. The idea of returning to McDonogh and living on campus in a home so generously funded by supporters of the school's mission and built by a friend and fellow scholarship alumnus was a contributing factor in my decision process.
Now that our family has settled in, we truly feel like we are home. We are thrilled with the design, the quality of construction, and the beautiful view from our back patio.
We are loving life in the new home and are grateful for your dedication to McDonogh."
Notable: This testimonial references the Head of School residence at McDonogh School — a significant institutional project for GYC.
T & A Neubauer¶
"Amy and I want to thank you for everything that you have done to help build our home over the past year. It seems like only yesterday that we were all standing in knee-deep snow on our lot wondering if Mother Nature was ever going to release her grip on things and allow us to put a shovel in the ground.
When we first approached you about bidding on our job 18 months ago, we did not know much about GYC and the many things that help define your company. What we have learned is that your attention to detail, years of experience, quality materials, workmanship, keen organization skill, and most importantly, top-notch people are second to none.
You have patiently answered every question, promptly responded to every phone call and carefully guided Amy and me throughout these past 10 months. You have become more than our builder, you have become our trusted friend.
Our friends are always stunned when we tell them how much we have enjoyed our building experience and that feeling is a direct reflection on you and your team. Simply put, GYC is quality from top to bottom, which makes building a home a fun and rewarding experience."
Tornado Recovery Client¶
"I just wanted to thank you for turning our tornado disaster into a cloud with a silver lining. Michael and I truly appreciate you getting your contractors out to the house the very next day. The work was done professionally and as always your contractors are always above board. We really enjoyed working with Larry these last four months. What a great guy."
