**★★★★★ — HU-31056223, April 2025**

> Dave and his guys did a great job turning a new construction basement into a beautiful living space. Dave was always good about letting me know what work would be done for the day and when the workers would start and in every case whatever the work was all workers showed up on time. Good honest work from Aegis.

**★★★★★ — mwin, May 2021**

> We had considerable remodeling work done by Aegis construction-walls removed,  stairs replaced, kitchen,  masterbath, and walk-in closet remodeled. The work was done efficiently, properly, and in a timely manner. In spite of pandemic obstructions such as delivery delays and cost increases out of Aegis' control, we are totally pleased with the job. David was always available for consultation and advice, totally honest and forthright, was quick to respond to our suggestions, and very pleasant to work with. We couldn't be happier with the work that was done for us. Give Aegis a call-you'll be glad you did.

**★★★★★ — flightnurse, March 2021**

> We were moving in to our new home and had multiple room projects in mind. Dave presented a lot of options and ideas along with budgeting each room so we could decide where we could flex our budget. He was in constant communication for crew dates and times and answered texts and emails timely. Our office, bedroom, bathroom and garage improvements turned out beyond our expectations. We would recommend Aegis Construction to our family and friends for any general contracting needs.

**★★★★★ — HU-794553586, March 2021**

> I would highly recommend Aegis Construction for a new construction. From the first contact, David was always easy to get ahold of and had the answers we were looking for. After explaining our ideal floor plan and budget, David presented us with a nearly perfect blueprint then quickly worked to customize everything last detail just how we wanted. His experience in the latest building materials and practices made the big decisions easy.  I was impressed throughout the entire construction on David's attention to detail and his readiness with solutions when even the smallest hiccups occurred. On top of that, the jobsite was kept unbelievably clean throughout the entire build.  We have now been in our new home just over a year and have been extremely happy with everything. With zero problems to speak of, we are confident the best decision in building our custom home was choosing David and Aegis Construction.

**★★★★★ — Jon Murray, Jan. 2021**

> Dave Slack and Aegis Construction are highly recommended. He's taken on small and large projects....from adding a bathroom to installing floor tile and trim boards.  He presents good ideas and is able to put those ideas onto paper for our review and approval.  His pricing is fair...I've never doubted the accuracy and competitiveness of his quotes.  On top of all this he is professional and a really decent guy.  Feel free to contact me with any specific questions.

**★★★★★ — Joanne Pennock, Oct. 2020**

> David Slack owns Aegis Construction and we were so fortunate to be referred to him.  He is the most organized, insightful and user-friendly contractor in his profession.  He helped us in every step of the way to plan and build a new home to meet our needs and wishes.  The subcontractors he used were also very impressive in their skills and work ethic.  Everyone in the neighborhood was impressed at how fast Dave and his team completed the construction.  My husband and I highly recommend Dave and Aegis Construction to anyone who plans to build or remodel.  We enjoyed working with him so much we will actually miss him!

**★★★★★ — cghead, Sept. 2020**

> As a (retired) design professional I can’t say enough about Aegis Construction. A kitchen remodel client used him for an extensive renovation & I was so impressed he was my first call when we had a tight deadline  project. Our budget was small & Aegis was booked, but Dave fit us in, and treated our comparatively small project the same as a huge one. Great company, professional from start to on-time finish. No surprises, use of written change orders... The owner, David Slack, stays involved throughout, points out possible pitfalls (don’t delay ordering appliances since stock is all over the place because of COVID shipping delays), makes excellent suggestions but never steps on your toes. Dave is smart, provides scaled drawings, and thinks of things you might’ve missed. In our area this kind of contractor is rare.

**★★★★★ — PAT MORRISON, Aug. 2020**

> David Slack, owner of Aegis Construction, is by far the most competent, professional contractor we've ever done business with. He completely renovated our basement that had sustained extensive water damage. The entire project was explained in detail after we had discussed our ideas, with David working directly with our insurance company, and giving his invaluable insight on all of our options. Everything was done on time, within budget, and exactly as promised. He is such a perfectionist. We couldn't be more pleased, and would highly recommend him to anyone considering a home improvement project.
