Hi again Dorothy,
 I just wanted to update you on this situation.  After I contacted Brian Granger, he called me back and we set up a meeting to discuss the situation.  He couldn’t have been more helpful, knowledgable, informative, professional, and reassuring! 🙂 We spent nearly an hour going over everything, both with the roof and our porch situation.  He knows all about the shingle defect process and said he would be more than happy to walk through the process with me of recouping the settlement money from the company.  He also inspected the roof and porch and gave us estimates on both, which looked very reasonable and fair.  With that, we hired him to do the work on the roof, and we definately plan to use him to repair the porch next summer when we have a little more money.  His crew came by on Wednesday and replaced the entire roof and we couldn’t be more pleased with their workmanship and quality.  Brian came by during the work and went over everything with me again, including the process to recoup the settlement money from CertainTeed shingle company.  Yesterday, they came by to tie up a few little loose ends, and he gave us one final inspection and gave us another detailed and personal explanation of the warrantee and other issues.  So, the bottom line is that we absolutely love Brian and his Solid Construction company and are so glad that we have a new roof!  We sent in the documents and sample shingle to the company and we expect to get a little money in a few months to help offset the work.  Thanks SO MUCH to you for recommending him, Dorothy!!!  We really appreciate your help in this, and are so grateful that we have such an attentive and helpful realtor such as yourself!  Talk to you later and thanks again for everything!

Our roof was in bad shape. We called Solid Construction to re-shingle it. Throughout the whole process, the owner, Brian Grainger, and all the crew were very professional and did great work! Our roof looks wonderful now and it is so great to have a roof that no longer leaks! We have a large house and it was all completed in one day. They cleaned up everything, and besides a new roof and a sign out front, you could barely tell they had been there! Brain kept in touch with us through the whole process to make sure that everything was going well and see if we had any questions. During the follow-up, he even took the time to look at a few other things around the house that needed to be repaired. He is very knowledgeable about all things construction. Also, you could tell that their customers are very important to them. The deciding factor on choosing Solid Construction was that they were able to give us a guarantee on the workmanship for 10 years and shingle lifetime warranty. Overall, they are a very professional, friendly company that does very high quality work. We are very happy that we chose them to do our roof. We would very highly recommend them to anyone considering construction or remodeling! Thank you for a sturdy new roof!

Brian and his team of quality craftsman exceeded every expectation from start to finish.  In each of the projects (3 total-1 Commercial &2 residential) he was on time and on budget.  The staff was courteous, knowledgeable and willing to answer our every question.  Brian went out of his way to talk through all of the options and helped to guide us in the right direction. During the project, the team was always very aware of making sure that the work area remained clean and that cleanup was always a priority.  I would heartily recommend him to anyone.  As a manager of a catering company I am well aware of the importance of quality workmanship and customer service, and Brian and his team are second to none.

This is letter is written as a recommendation for Solid Construction Services of DeKalb, IL. Brian Grainger and his company have shown themselves to be highly capable craftsmen with great follow-through. The work Solid Construction Services did on the roof of the parsonage was great and completed in a timely manner. I would not hesitate to recommend them for any project.

I first utilized the construction services of Brian Grainger when I was adding a new illusion to my show. When it comes to building stage magic apparatus, precision is the key. After taking a meeting with me he developed a grasp for what I was looking for in a sword cabinet. His construction techniques have proven to be sturdy as this illusion is still in my stage show and has been for over a decade. When it comes to a sword cabinet accuracy and precision are very important. I would highly recommend Brian for his professionalism, accuracy and quality of construction.

Dear Brian, The work you and your crew did connecting our downspouts to the city storm sewer system yesterday was exceptional. You not only did the actual difficult work with exceptional professionalism, you were also very patient with our questions. It was a difficult decision to invest in this project, but since we have had water problems with our house for four years, we decided that the roof run-off must be controlled. All city permits and rules were handled by you with efficiency. This process has not always been done for us when we had other work done.

You all worked in extreme heat and finished ahead of schedule. Thank you for your work.

Our 20 year old windows were in bad shape, leaky and drafty. We needed new windows bad. I spoke with Brian of Solid Construction.

He sold me on the idea of tripled glazed Simonton vinyl windows. We are so happy with these windows: they are easy to operate, easy to clean and look beautiful. The best part is how much warmer it feels in the house on a cold winter night. Even Simonton’s dark oak wood-grain color is a perfect match for our wood work. I can see why Simonton’s windows are so highly rated. These are quality windows that are easy to live with and will last and last.
