A Park Forest neighbor referred Todd Gourley owner of Powder River Construction to us. We weren’t disappointed. Todd understood the scope of our remodel project. He had many helpful ideas that we incorporated, he obtained the necessary bids, set up a time table and completed three baths, one kitchen, new fireplace, re-faced old fireplace and refinished a wood floor all on schedule.
Todd’s work is impeccable and when issues would arise (as always happens with remodel work), he would research the best solution and very efficiently get the work done, while still staying right on schedule! We were kept informed weekly with photos and emails.
We have remodeled two older homes in Hastings Nebraska and this by far was the least stressful and came in underbid and on time. This amazed us, because we haven’t ever experienced this kind of efficiency before! We would highly recommend Todd Gourley for any project regardless of size.
My husband and I had decided it was time to make an addition to our second home in Breckenridge but we were very apprehensive about the undertaking of this project. Our friends had horror stories about their experiences. Luckily, we found Todd Gourley of Powder River Construction. We have had and still continue to have a very positive relationship with Todd and his company. We were not able to be in Colorado for most of the construction so we had to rely on his integrity and ability to understand what we wanted. He was able to try to keep the cost down, stay on schedule and communicate long distance. This was not an easy fete. We have nothing but praise for Powder River Construction. The finished product is more than we had anticipated. We are very proud of our new home and new garage addition.
If you want it done right the first time use Todd with Powder River Construction, if you want it done cheap (as in the final Product) use a Front Range Contractor. Todd has done four projects for my family, and we are very pleased with the end results on all four! All four projects were very different. Todd did a room addition, new front door roof cover, fixed and repaired some ice and snow damage on our roof, and retiled our master shower and counter. The four projects were done on time and on budget except for the changes I made. You see Todd won’t do things half way so if there is an issue that comes up during construction he will show you the problem and let you decide what is best to solve the issue. We would highly recommend Todd with Powder River Construction for any project big or small.
We really lucked out when we found Todd to remodel our Breckenridge townhome. Being from the Denver area, we had no contacts in Summit County and blindly called a local kitchen/bath store who gave us his name.
In short, I cannot say enough good things about this guy. I have worked with several contractors in the past and I have never seen anyone with his work ethic. He is organized, does what he says he will do, and cares about the quality of his work. His crew showed up every day, and our entire remodel was done in a matter of weeks. As far as cost, Todd’s proposal was fair and, get this. . . even though I added several little projects, he still came in UNDER BUDGET!
I came to trust Todd implicitly, and felt extremely fortunate to have him managing the project long-distance. My designer was so impressed after working with him that her only comment was “how did you find this guy?” I will be happy to talk with anyone in greater detail to tell you how great he is!
Todd was recommended by our kitchen designer and it was clear from the first moment he entered our home that he was a true professional. He took the time to ask us about our ideas and really worked with us to maximize the space and storage available in our kitchen. He did the entire project while we were on the other side of the country and he encountered several problems. He dealt with a long running leak in the wall and walls which were unven and riddled with problems. He kept us informed all the way along, sending pictures to support his explanations. After the entire kitchen was in, he thought it needed a cornice to mask the uneven sofit. He consulted us and created a matching cornice which looks like it was designed with the kitchen. Altogether, he proved not only skilled in construction but a creative problem solver. Todd stuck rigorously to his estimated cost and sought approval for any charges connected to the problems he found. We would highly recommend Todd for any job and only hope he does not get too busy to do future work for us.
I have known Todd for six years both professionally and personally. Todd creates beautiful works of art from log that are also functional homes. He is a competent and experienced general contractor who luckily for me finds no job too small. The general contractor that built my log home effectively abandoned me before the job was done. Todd has helped me over the years to put all the finishing touches on my home. Many tasks were small such as installing trim, but others were involved like putting down hardwood floors and covering ugly beams with logs sent down from Canada to match my house. Given the constantly shifting nature of log over time I always have new projects that need his attention. I know he will give every one his full focus and do it properly. No matter what your project is I guarantee that he will treat you with respect and do a marvelous job.
