Jackie Quinn, Denver
It gives me great pleasure to write this recommendation on behalf of Karl Grotluschen. Without Karl’s knowledge, management skill and communication I would not have had “strength” to finish my project.
My project was a complete remodel of a downtown Denver Condo. The remodel was a floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall remodel (i.e. down to the drywall), about 1,600 square feet in a high rise building. It is a two bedroom, two full bathroom condo and there was not an inch I did not redo. And to top it off, I was not in Denver when this remodel was being done. I was remote by two states so trust in a general contractor was paramount to me.
I hired Karl after my initial contractor fell way behind (more than 6 months) and I saw no end in sight. Karl was a godsend. I kept the initial contractor on board but put Karl in charge. Karl stepped into this awkward situation very smoothly. Karl was able to evaluate what was needed to finish and gave me a realistic completion date. He was able to build rapport with the initial contractor, work together as a team to get the project finished in the “Karl promised” time.
After witnessing what Karl accomplished with my project, I can attest to the following. As a General Contractor, there is no better intermediary for ensuring construction projects are always running smoothly, on time and at peak. He has great management skills both over the project and the team, understanding what time and cost it will take for a completion of a project (or parts of a project) and able to convince everyone from subordinates to clients to follow his lead. This is because Karl exudes a level of knowledge and expertise that simply inspires trust. I have watched in awe when Karl on more than one occasion convinced me or the initial contractor to do something they had been adamant about not doing until they discussed a final solution with him.
What I appreciated most about Karl was his communication skills. I received weekly updates and billings so I knew exactly where my project stood. With Karl on site, my day-to-day operations were always in good trusted hands.
I believe you could not do better than Karl Grotluschen.
