I just wished to express my appreciation for the work your company has done over the past year. It is always a challenge today to find a company that does quality work at a reasonable price and I think you certainly meet that criteria. And, if a problem ever does occur you are quick to respond and assure the satisfaction of my clients. In fact, I am always amazed when you go above and beyond the scope of work to do things you don’t need to do just to make a customer happy. Overall, I don’t believe I could find a repair contractor on a higher level than your company. Keep up the good work and expect more requests for bids and work in the future.

We first called Addis Construction at the suggestion of our realtor. Our house in Hampstead, a marsh side cedar contemporary, was being sold. The home inspection revealed some bad wood and other minor problems with the structure. The bid directly addressed the items on the inspector’s list, was specific as to time and cost. The work was completed on time. We were pleased with the quality of the work.
The real test for Addis came when we bought a 97 year old home in historic Wilmington. Our first job for the crew was to correct the discrepancy list from the home inspection. This consisted of rebuilding several windowsills and some minor roof work in the eves. While we had them on site, we asked Addis to put in a front fence and replace the front walk. Again, the work was on time and budget and the craftsmanship superb. But this was only the beginning.
The home we purchased in the historic district was an up/down duplex that we wanted to return it to a single family residence. This entailed removing two entry walls and a kitchen, moving a bedroom into the space that once was a kitchen and moving the upstairs kitchen into the downstairs bedroom. You can imagine the necessary plumbing and electrical changes that were required. Did I mention that we also converted a back porch into a storage room, and relocated the back door, adding a new porch? All of this while we continued to live in the house.
As anyone who has had an old home knows, nothing is as easy as it seems. After removing the apartment wall in the front room, the ceiling had to be jacked up and a beam placed across the span. The new bedroom needed its floor raised by six inches and 90 year old wainscoting had to be reproduced. All of this was met with calm efficiency by the Addis crew. Now that we have a coat of paint on it, the reproduction is indistinguishable from the original.
As with any project of this type, there were changes and additional items added on. Each change to the original contract was fully explained and the added cost and time noted. The job was completed on time with no surprises about the final cost.
We highly recommend Addis Construction for jobs of any size. We have used them for work on a 12 year old contemporary home and a nearly 100 year old historic home. Not only was the work done on time with no unforeseen cost, the work was impeccable. The crew was always polite and courteous. At the end of each day the workspace was swept and tools and material put away. We trust every member of the Addis team and the sub-contractors that were chosen to work on our home.

These days it is difficult to find contractors that offer quality work at a very good price. Just trying to find a contractor that will show up every day and finish on time is something of a myth. My real estate business relies on people like Addis Construction to ensure that the repairs are done before closing so my clients can move in stress free. Whether it is new construction, additions or closing repairs I know that Addis construction will reach above and beyond. All of their trades people are timely, well-mannered, experts in their field and tidy! Thanks to Brooks Addis and his team, all of my clients have the satisfaction of a great experience.
"...During the construction Addis Construction kept myself and the owners of this project informed every step of the process. If an unsuspected problem arose they had reasonable solutions ready when they called. The working relationships that they have with sub-contractors, be it those of their choosing or ones we asked for them to use. I have the utmost respect and admiration not only for Brooks Addis, but of everyone who works for this firm, and would not hesitate to have them build another home for any of my clients the future. Addis Construction is not only a great construction company, but also they are true professionals of their trade."

During the recent construction of our personal residence I was impressed by Brook's creativity in working with us to make "on the fly" changes that enhanced the value and livability of our new home. His goal is to build a home that both himself and the homeowner can be proud of in the end. He was always willing to take as much time as needed to iron out all of the details during the construction. In today's hurried up world it is nice to work with someone who treats your new home as if it were his own.

We are in a 1912 historic firehouse, a beautiful two story building with the original bell tower. Last summer we experienced some leaks. Addis Construction came in, sealed the leaks successfully, and fixed and finished the ceiling and window frames. They did a beautiful job on a difficult challenge.

I'm writing to you to say thank you to Addis Construction for all the hard work that was done first on the physician's office on our campus which you finished on schedule. I would also like to thank you for the great job that your guys did on our west wing project, again on schedule. The job on the west wing was done with care and patience working around our residents, making sure saftey came first. Your team performed quality work for our campus.
