A. James Gondeck, G.C.

Al and Mickey completed a 2nd floor addition and multiple bathroom project for us in 2008. We have been very pleased with the quality of their work and had them back to finish our basement in 2010. They did a great job coming in on time and on budget. We would definitely recommend them.

Al & Mick have done a few jobs for us, the largest being a renovation on the back of our house. This project, for which we had an architect's plans, involved redoing the kitchen, adding an eating area, enlarging and re-orienting the family room, adding a deck, a new powder room, new laundry room, and both an office and space for a small wine room in the basement. Everything was done on time and within budget. When we ran into a problem with water pipes that weren't on the original house plans, Al came up with a workable solution that cost a fraction of the architect's solution. Except for that unforeseen issue, we paid exactly what was estimated. The subcontractors were professional, and did a good job. We were very pleased with Al and Mick, and have since hired them to do a few smaller jobs. We would absolutely recommend them.

We hired Al Gondeck to do a major renovation of our home. We had specific ideas and and goals which we had worked out with an architect before hand. Al did an excellant job with his own crew and the sub contractors he brought in for specialized tasks. Specically,he constructed as an add on, a library and a media room and porch on the ground level and on the upper level a den, an office, a master bedoom with his/her bathrooms, and two guest rooms. Everyone- with no exceptions- did their jobs professionally, were friendly, and paid exact attention to the many details we had requested We were quite pleased with the results and have enjoyed living in our home since the completion date. We recommend Al Gondeck without reservation

Al has performed major construction on our house in Mendham. His name was given to us by friends of ours of which he completed there home renovation in Chatham. We were very please with his organization and quality of work. Since then he has completed a project on our shore house in Spring Lake of which he didn't think he could meet our deadline but he found a way to make it work. We have passed his name onto other clients that he has worked for. Great construction firm.

Al and Mickey recently completed work on our home addition (we bumped out the back of the house and added a new kitchen and family room, reworked entire traffic flow on first floor and added master bed/bath/laundry upstairs, new windows, exterior siding, new roof, etc.). Al initially estimated the job would take about 6 months. Al would give me a weekly work schedule, so I was always aware of what they were focusing on that week and what I needed to be thinking about ordering or following up on with my vendors. Al, Mickey and their subcontractors were working at our house every day and as a result, the job finished 2 months earlier than expected. They are are clean and courteous. The job site is picked up/organized at the end of each day. Al and his team are very professional and a pleasure to work with.

My wife and I first heard about Al and his ability to renovate and/or build just about anything over ten years ago. He came highly recommended by numerous people in and around our neighborhood. Since then, Al has completed three big renovations in our house and for each job, we could not have been more pleased with the results. We have always been impressed with his organization, time line and the quality of his work. Each Monday, while workig on a project, we received a weekly work schedule that would explain the plan for the week. If and when we do another renovation project, Al will be our guy.

After seeing Al Gondeck's work in the neighborhood, we hired him to do an addition/renovation that included a new kitchen, family room, 2 bathrooms, and master bedroom. He, his foreman, Mickey, and team were great. From the moment the project started, they were here every day, even during a few pretty heavy snow storms, and they assured that the work would be completed on time-- which was important to us. They were very professional, reliable and friendly and the work was excellent. We are thrilled with the results. We were also impressed by how Al stands by his work. After everything was finished, Al would periodically check in to see if anything needed to be adjusted. After 3 years, the work looks like it was completed yesterday.

My husband and I hired Al Gondeck because a very particular friend had used him and recommended him. We can't say enough about our experience. He was ALWAYS on time (showed up every single day and he finished the project early.) When we ran into problems (no fault of his) he gave us choices of how we could solve them complete with estimates. He communicates promptly, is concise and doesn't waste a second. WE FINISHED ON BUDGET. I am a real estate agent and see many contractors come and go. A. James Condeck is the best value anyone can find in our area.
