One of my greatest insights into the firm and why I would especially recommend them is their talent pool of highly professional people. And the firms commitment to building quality. The staff were tremendous to work with, but what also thrilled me were the onsight professionals who gave their input to me to continuously achieve our goals.

All the people we have contact with have been courteous and responsive to our comments.

I would like to say thank you to you and all your employees for everything you have done to successfully build one of the nicest Kwik Trip Stores we have. It has truly been a great pleasure working with you. Your people stand out above most general contractors I have worked with. They handled all changes and problems with great ease. We had a few challenges along the way, but you worked through them with NO hassle!

Construction Supervisor - Kwik Trip

Healy Awards, Inc. just wanted to let you know how pleased we were with all aspects of your company’s performance. Our job went extremely well. Your supervision was excellent and your guys were super. I can not complain about anything. I would gladly recommend your service to anyone.

Scott Kesley, President - Healy Awards

I would definitely recommend Gerald Nell Inc. as a general contractor. They are easy to work with, don’t “nickel and dime” you for every single “extra” and the fact that most of the work is done “in house” means it gets done faster, with greater continuity and less aggravation.

Dr. Michael S. Bubon - Dr. Michael Bubon & Associates

We also want to thank your people on the job and your subcontractors. Every one was very professional and showed a good, pleasant attitude throughout the job. A really nice touch was the cleanup effort done every Friday afternoon so our members could tour the project during weekend services. It was also very moving to have so many of your people attend the dedication service.

Jack Henry, Building Committee Chairman - Risen Savior Lutheran Church

With such short notice the response and sense of urgency was impressive. In addition, Paul and his contractors were very professional and thorough with their jobs. The contractors worked with our employees with ease while keeping Super Products on its aggressive time line. Super Products asked for numerous changes which needed to be quoted, or Gerald Nell Inc. was asked if they could just handle it. Both situations were done comfortably with each party.
