Gettum Associates

My overall experience with patio cover build was good. In any project, I give importance to workmanship, ease to work with, pricing, and schedule maintenance. I thought the workmanship, 'ease to work with' displayed in the whole structure build, and the subsequent finishes were excellent. Pricing was something that was decided upfront along with design details.

The front end part was agreed upon mutually - so I have no qualms regarding that as it was honored by both sides honorably. The schedule maintenance was certainly less than excellent. I do realize there were some days that were gone due to bad weather. However, bad weather wasn't always the major reason. I was away for few days - but that's only just three days.

I am sure there were some unexpected setbacks during the project that pushed the timeline to nearly three times as originally was expected. I am also sure, that in future projects, these will be taken care of with more supervision from the top management at the front end of the project. That said, I would do business again with Gettum if I got the chance and would also recommend Gettum to my friends, who may be interested.

From start to finish, Gettum Associates has been top notch. We recently had a pool put in our back yard and wanted to build an outdoor covered porch and bar to go with it. We had so much fun designing the structure with Dave and Amy. We really didn't know what we wanted but they helped us bring it to life. The carpenters, Randy and Dan, are so talented.

They worked through the winter months day in and day out building the most beautiful outdoor porch I have ever seen. I could go on and on about their craftsmanship and hard work. I could see everyday the details that where put into the project. It look longer than expected due to COVID related delays but it was worth the wait. I would definitely hire Gettum again for further projects. Thank you all!

We had a great experience with Gettum for our remodeling project. We converted our garage to living space, and we chose Gettum because they were the only company we talked to that offered new ideas and were open to our initial desires (vaulted ceilings). Other companies we talked to said certain things just couldn't be done, but Gettum was willing to think creatively and figure out how to make things happen.

Their initial estimate of total project cost ended up coming in right around where the actual proposal was, and the final cost was only 10% higher, which is normal and expected in construction projects. Additionally, part of the increase in cost was to repair termite damage they discovered during the demolition, and the cost for the repairs was very fair and reasonable.

The finished product was just what we were looking for. Once the designs and plans were completed, the professionals at Gettum needed very little direction. Jesse was the onsite project manager and was great about asking for our input as needed, but didn't need us to hold his hand through every single decision, and just did a great job listening and implementing our requests.

We love our new living space, and can't imagine our house without it. We sincerely appreciate having such a positive experience with Gettum, and would certainly recommend them for remodeling projects.

There is not enough time nor enough paper to tell you how great Gettum Associates is. We underwent a MAJOR kitchen, living room, dining room and family room renovation. It was something that we had wanted done for quite some time and were not successful in finding both a reputable construction company and had a reasonable price. Gettum came through and we LOVE our new addition.

We are in conversations now for a bathroom remodel. I can tell you this. I will NEVER hire any other company than Gettum. Their prices are fair. The work was efficient and meticulous with such an attention to details. Their communication was outstanding. They were here when and how long they said they were going to be here. I would HIGHLY recommend them if you are in any construction needs. There is not one single complaint here. They are simply the best!

Gettum provided a significant upgrade to the kitchen in our 60-year old home. They helped us figure out a new layout, and Amy was great help in selecting countertops, cabinet finishes, etc. Their 3D drawings were a great help in visualizing what the new kitchen would be like. I lost my job midway through the process and they waited patiently while I found a new job (and thus the money to fund the project), then we got right back into the process. Ted, the main carpenter on the project, checked with us before all decisions large and small, made sure we were informed what to expect and when, installed the new cabinets and moved a wall expertly and professionally, and cleaned up after himself thoroughly. We now have our dream kitchen and LOVE IT!

Gettum did a terrific job refreshing our home's exterior with new siding, windows, painting, and gutters. I would definitely contract Gettum for future projects. Adrian Toms managed the project and we couldn't have been more pleased. Adrian reviewed the project plans with us to ensure he understood what we wanted. Adrian made a few suggestions. We accepted them, and we're glad we did! Gettum performed all of the work that we expected without our oversite.

We didn't have any change orders or extra charges after the contract signing. Adrian kept the project on track and on schedule. He always kept us advised and was personally on site every day. Just before work started, our city recognized health concerns with Coronavirus. Adrian and his crew quickly worked with us to protect at-risk members of our family.

Every aspect of the project was completed with expert craftsmanship. One part of the project didn't meet the carpenter's personal standards. Adrian allowed the crew to remove and replace their work. I can't think of a better example of pride in workmanship than that. Thank-you to Steve, Chad, and Damien.

We tried diligently to work with Gettum, had heard positive references. Made the first call and were told to be ready for a call from Dave. Took time away from work to receive his call, but it never came. We called the number for the company immediately and were told that they had called us, but nobody answered, yet two of us were sitting at the same desk with the phones at the ready.

Then we found out that they had called the wrong number. Though this was discovered just a few minutes past the designated time of the call, they said that we wouldn't be able to talk to the representative again until a week or so later. Arranged a second call. Talked to Dave for about 20-25 minutes. He was friendly, knowledgable, and discussed several common acquaintances and personal experiences.

He said he would get back with us after I sent him our architect's plans. We sent the plans that day or next. Weeks went by, never heard back. I emailed to ask about getting a call back. We still have never had any communication from Gettum since. This process started in January. We had been looking forward to exploring what Gettum could do for our home; however, we have had to move forward with another contractor to get our remodeling project going.

Gettum built us a three-season enclosed porch and attached covered patio. That sounds fairly standard, even mundane, but it was anything but that. The whole thing was built in the middle of the pandemic. Nothing was done under normal conditions, and there were complications and delays that were in no way Gettum's fault. What would normally have been an eight to twelve week job took six months.

And my wife and I have nothing but good things to say about it. That's correct. We would rate this as an experience we wouldn't change. The service was impeccable. There were delays, as mentioned, but we were never left hanging. We were constantly kept in the loop. We were able to contact personnel any time and every one of them gave us as much help and support as we could have wished for.

The finished product, though it took a while to achieve, was more than we could have anticipated. I personally had no idea of how well they could come up with a creative approach to something my wife and I wanted but only thought of in vague terms. What we got in the end was an addition to our home that looks totally new, and yet perfectly integrated.

It felt as if it should have been there all along and I can scarcely remember the old concrete slab they passed for our patio before. I haven't really tried to describe the porch. It's so personal to my wife and I that I doubt a mere physical description would convey what it became to us. And that is another tribute to the Gettum crew. Even now, months after it was finally finished, we stay in touch occasionally with members of the team.

They came to feel like old friends. They were constantly solicitous of our safety - my wife and I are both in our sixties, and concerned of course about exposure to the virus - and took pains to keep us safe and still provide us with access to their help all the time. The project was not cheap, either in terms of the efforts and quality of the product or the monetary costs, but certainly it was fair for the return.

And my wife and I feel what we received from Gettum both in the final result and the experience of dealing with this excellent company was worth every cent. I would highly recommend them to anyone considering an addition like ours.

We were hoping to be able to do our basement bath/bedroom project with Gettum but the "initial" cost projection was so far beyond other estimates that we didn't go any further with them. All of the reviews we had read were glowing but our budget wouldn't stretch that far. I'm quite sure, based on descriptions from these reviews, they build a fantastic product.but their estimate was several thousand dollars more than even the next highest one we had obtained. So, we'll never know what we didn't get to experience.

Had previously used Gettum Associates to replace roofing on two homes and was highly satisfied with Adrian Toms who was the Sales Mgr. I had worked with. This month, May, 2019, we had all the wood siding removed and replaced with LP Smart-side siding. I again had Adrian as my contact and would highly recommend him and the crews he uses for this kind of work. On this kind of work it is always possible to find unknown issues once the job begins and Adrian was absolutely fair in reviewing options, etc.
