Verified record
A-1 Gunite Construction is a Kingston-based outfit whose written record is short and rough. Its Google reviews run from 2018 to 2023, and three of the four are serious complaints rather than routine gripes. In a 2018 review, a customer said a project stalled at roughly half finished, then described being asked for an extra $16,000 on top of the original agreement, and said subcontractors and material suppliers were left unpaid a year later. A 2023 review raised a separate dispute, alleging rent was collected for an apartment without the required permits while the property went into foreclosure. One 2019 review calls the work "no good" with no further detail, and another from 2019 says only "Great!!" There isn't enough here to say what a typical job with this company looks like. Before hiring, it's worth asking directly about a completed project's timeline, final cost, and how subcontractors get paid, and getting any rental or property arrangement in writing.

Owner of company and wife are crooks and junkies. Tim obin and bonnie Nolan stole from us. We rented an illegal apartment (we didn't know that at the time) they were supposed to be paying the mortgage with our rent but then I got court papers up on my door saying they were supposed to leave in 2014. They rented us the apartment in 2016. Then the house went into foreclosure. They left with food in fridge and alot of there things there.JUNKIES
They are no good
Great!!
I can confirm previous 1-star post - crooks. 1 year after the job and I'm paying $1,000's of dollars to sub-contractors/material providers that he screwed. This was after getting 50% complete on the project and forced into paying an addition $16k to do what we'd already agreed to.
