“I used Barrows Contracting to have an old barn taken down. They did an excellent j”
Glen and team did a great job removing our inground pool that had unfortunately failed. They were very efficient getting it all done and left our property in great shape to plant a nice lawn.
Glenn Barrows, his crew and his subcontractors were excellent from start to finish. I hired them on for a home addition as the owner/builder and he was fair, honest and communicated exceptionally well from the start. He managed all subs related to the site work and foundation and worked with me on changes in a fair manner. I would highly recommend Glenn and his crew for any project.
Glenn Barrows and his team were excellent to work with. They were attentive to our needs during excavation, placement of the footings and forms to pouring the floor. Each of the crew members worked seamlessly on our garage project. They are truly courteous and skilled professionals when it comes to their craft. Great communication with Glenn through email and phone. We highly recommend Glenn and Barrows Contracting for excavation and foundation work.
We are very pleased with the work Glenn and his team did on our driveway. They add rock and gravel to make a circular driveway into our barn to enable us to park in it. They were quick, did what they said they would for the price we were quoted. Would absolutely work with them again. Excellent job.
Glenn helped my family out by giving us an estimate for a septic project we already had another contractor lined up to do. Glenn was very generous with his time - he gave us confidence in the pricing we had, and took the time to explain the technical details of the approach our contractor was using. Although we were already working with another contractor, I would recommend Glenn and his team without hesitation and would make him my first call if we have another project in the future.
