What they’re saying

“We cover the full spectrum. We'll help them select a piece of property all the way to building their swimming pool at the end of it.”

— Trent Fresina, Co-owner (businessreport.com)

“There are two ways to bid a house – you can bid it to win it, or you can bid it to what it's actually going to cost. Everything is included in the initial quote. We don't like change orders, so we stay away from them. If a customer gets a change order, it's usually because they've requested the change.”

— Blake LeBlanc, Co-owner (businessreport.com)

“Our customers are part of the project as much as we are. On our 'cost-plus' projects, they're seeing all the financials, from the porta-potty to the receipt for markup tape. It's all there.”

— Trent Fresina, Co-owner (businessreport.com)
