Over the course of 3 years they periodically worked on large projects for our home. Anthony and his crew became like trusted family members; they earned our trust by their conduct, work ethic and direct communication. Anthony's first priority is to provide the best "product" possible to his customers. We have been very happy with all the projects he has done: * Built a 120 ft beautiful block retaining wall with a metal railing that will probably last longer than our house * Tore out our lower deck and built a larger trek deck in its place, installed a metal railing, rebuilt the stair on the other side of the deck and reinstalled our hot tub! * Built a 20' x 18' attached, permitted shop * Turned an ugly storage room into a beautiful office * Built railroad tie stairway with a landing on both sides of our house and placed 10 huge rocks just where I wanted them. Put down landscape fabric and mulch. I appreciate that Anthony critically thinks through the projects, researches new products or construction solutions, and talks to vendors to obtain detailed information. He communicates well with city and county people and clients. Anthony and his crew are creative, and at times, artistic in their work. We loved our home before we found Anthony. We love it more now because the GBZ Construction crew did such a fine job creating lovely spaces for us to enjoy.

Well my experience with them was not good. My new dishwasher…read morewas supposed to be delivered between 8 and 10 am this morning. I paid for delivery and haul away of old dishwasher. My old dishwasher was still working, but was making a lot of noise and was slowly dying. I removed my old dishwasher last night and had it sitting in my kitchen ready to be hauled away. At 8:15 am they called me and told me they accidentally sold my dishwasher to another customer, and now the don't have anymore. They apologized and said they might be able to deliver different in stock model soon if I wanted to change my order. I asked if soon, meant today. The sales person said probably not. We drove to their store, and looked at the other comparable dishwashers, but they all had features my wife did not like. So we asked how long to get another one of same model we had ordered. They said 1.5 to 2 weeks. I said, that since I didnt want to go 2 weeks without a dishwasher, I would have to re-install my old dying dishwasher and then remove it again in 2 weeks. What a PITA. I then asked for free delivery, install and haul away, since their F'up was costing a lot time and effort. The salesperson went to see if management would okay this request. Management did not. The best they would do was knock about $100 off their fees. I then canceled the order, and ordered from HD. With delivery and haul away included, it was about $60 less than Stover. Plus I could get it in 3 days. So, we got the model we wanted for less money and a much sooner delivery. So I'm not impressed with Stover's customer service, or really doing anything helpful after such a monumental F'up. I was specifically going with a local business because I thought they would have better customer service. I am very disappointed.

It's so great to have a Lowe's in Albany! The product selection and quality are perfect for the…read morehome builder and the do-it-yourselfer --and you can't beat the prices. I completely remodeled my home, right down to the studs, and I found that Lowe's saved me time and offered the quality of products that I needed. Often I would take a higher quantity of something to be sure I had enough, then bring back the unused items to the store. With my Lowe's card, they could look up the return in an instant without my remembering the receipt. Materials are easy to find and the store inventory is well organized. Knowledgeable people could help me in every department. It is not the mess I found at the other big Home products center. I often shopped on the Internet and then went in to pick up my order. Today I went in to get a part for an elderly friends walker that was broken. Finding the hardware department, a Joy offered to help me. I showed her the missing screw on the walker and she quickly realized it took a metric screw, walked to the right shelf and pulled out a screw that was the right one. Then I asked to install it and soon Shane joined us to install the missing screw! I was lucky because I went in on a Saturday just before 6 PM and the three of us fixed my handicapped friends walker in the isle. The store was quiet and Joy and Shane we not busy. Soon Share adjusted the brakes on the walker too! The attitude was that once they understood I was doing a favor for a handicapped senior, we fixed the walker together. I will be back to Lowe's.

During construction Jeff was exceptional. He kept a safe and clean job site. He carefully guided us through the process and made sure every detail was taken care of and completed to the highest quality. I couldn't recommend them any higher.

Jared is probably the most honest, straightforward, and solid contractors I have ever met. Even…read morethough my current job was too small for him he kindly provided me with a list of smaller contractors to try. I think also it was the second time I had contacted him over the years. The previous time many years ago when he was first starting, and even then his good character and business sense stood out to me. It's probably why I reached out to him again. Growing up as a "cop's daughter" sometimes my second-hand jadedness towards seemingly good character arouses my doubts. But if Jared is not genuine then I don't know who is. My grandfather was a general contractor, and I myself worked for a medium-sized commercial contractor for a short while so I am somewhat familiar with the challenges in organizing the work, including managing subcontractors. Jared's communication and management style is such a breath of fresh air. You just want to get behind his local business and see it continue to grow. Communicating to some of the general contractors in and outside the Corvallis-Albany-Salem area as the pandemic winds down, I now think the safer bet is to go big with Thayer Construction when the time comes. Just get all the jobs and remodeling done at once with him or not at all.

I was immediately impressed with his friendliness and willingness to help me with my fence. We had a very long fence replaced in our very large backyard. Phil came out, measured everything, gave me advice and several options and sent me a very detailed estimate within a week! They just completed the job and it looks amazing! Phil and his guys are skilled, hardworking, professional and meticulous. I'm 66years old, have been in the trades all my life and actually built many of my own fences. Their work surpasses my skills. I was very surprised to see Phil come back through after the guys finished the fence and mark about 5 boards that he didn't like and had them replace them! Phil is just a very nice guy, honest, knowledgeable, and professional. After having several conversations with him I am encouraged that there are still honest, hardworking, family men providing excellent work, jobs, all with integrity and customer service! Do not hesitate to trust Phil and his guys with your fencing needs and also many other services he is knowledgeable in! Thanks again Phil! Dave Bradley North Albany
