“Thank you for Flannery’s diligent turnaround of our West Side Flats sales project. In particular, we were very happy with the end result given the short time frame. Mark was on top of the process each day and adjusted to our evolving plans efficiently. He was on site, on time, responsive, effective and kept our budget at top-of-mind.
We look forward to working with you and Mark in the future.â€
“I am writing you in response to the recent remodeling project completed at our clinic Mark Thompson was the principal contractor and I want to commend him. We asked for the work to be completed in a very short time period due to a federal visit that was planned.
It wasn’t easy to find people to get all the work done and he managed the project in an efficient, well coordinated and professional manner. He was polite and respectful of the staff, and accommodating to the needs of our clinic business.
I was a pleasure to work with Mark; he is a good ambassador for your company. I will certainly be contacting you for our future construction/remodeling projects.â€
