I really appreciated the way in which Jerry Coussens worked collaboratively with my architect to get to the desired "look" of the garage and loft, working the whole of the project into the back yard, down to feet and inches within the property and setback lines.Jerry's choice of and relationships with the subcontractors tapped into high quality work that would have taken me months (or years) (or never...) to develop: roof truss concrete, retaining wall, electrical, gas & plumbing, roofing and guttering contractors all showed up on time and kept what was a pretty complex project on schedule. Jerry's and his crew's knowledge of materials and best building practices saved me a lot of what would have been mis-spent time on my part trying to learn the trades; and, that knowledge and those relationships surely saved more than the nominal overhead of running them all through him as General Contractor.I enjoyed interacting with his work crew (which often included Jerry as equipment operator), who were good-natured, helpful, and willing to discuss the different steps in construction, and share their knowledge and insight for my edification.I couldn't be more pleased with the whole project, and the working relationship to resolve the very few areas of the project that hadn't been foreseen in the planning stages. I would recommend JD Coussens to any of my friends or acquaintances that I think would be the kind of customers the firm deserves to work with.
