Testimonials from Local Organizations
“We began our project with a competing GJ construction company, but they couldn’t handle the workload and missed deadline after deadline so we made the switch to Merritt and Co. They were able to step in, wrap their hands around the mess that had been created, and got after it. It made the most sense to go with a cost plus contract structure because of where we were when we switched companies and I’m happy to report that they have been fair and equitable with the project. We look forward to working with them in the years to come.” – Jackson Bennet, Owner, The Human Bean
“Merritt and his wonderful crew took what was an immensely stressful situation for me (moving a whole dental office on short notice) and made it one of the best experiences I have ever had working with any contracting group. Mark is an amazing project manager and all of their sub contractors worked hard to make sure we hit our deadlines and goals. The new space looks amazing, an I couldn’t be prouder to say these guys are the ones to call. Thank you all.” – Dr. Laurie Stein
