"This is a belated formal thanks for all the work that you have performed for us in substantially refurbishing our home, inside and outside, in Greenwich. As you know, some of the tasks were quite challenging, particularly the chimney repair, and, frankly, you were the first person that ever found those challenges both interesting and solvable. It is to your great credit that your estimates were accurate, your workmen were polite, efficient and timely; and that you continually were interested in getting the job done right, on time, and with the minimum disruption"

"I have used Steve Gidley’s contracting firm, Stephen C. Gidley, Inc., and its predecessor for over 30 years. At various times in recent years he has painted the outside and most of the inside of my house, put on a new roof and this past summer, put on a new chimney. Most of these projects were undertaken while my family and I were away. In short, I trust him. I have found Steve to be dependable and honest and consequently I turn to him when any serious problem in my home arises and plan to in the future. He plans the work carefully, finishes on time and cleans the site well. I am well satisfied.

"This is in reference to the roofing project contracted by St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Riverside to Stephen C. Gidley, Inc. and Associated Building Contractors. We are very pleased at the timely completion of the roofing project as well as the conduct of the whole process, from getting the permit to the final clean-up and inspection.

"When we ran into many serious post construction project problems: nine roof leaks, faulty construction, sloppy and incomplete construction… only to name a few items…after our two year whole house renovation debacle we turned in desperation to your firm for help after a medical colleague and close friend highly recommended you as the best...Now nearly one and a half years later, our originally botched construction project is totally repaired and completed to our full satisfaction thanks to your steadfast and continued efforts to unearth the myriad of construction faults and defects we were faced with from our previous builder... In an industry fraught with horror stories such as ours, you stand out amongst your colleagues as an excellent builder who can be implicitly trusted to deliver the highest quality of workmanship standards available."

Rosalie G., Ph.D.

"A few years ago a colleague of mine in the medical profession recommended your firm to repair and maintain my cedar roof. I was very pleased with your expertise in this field and gave you the job which your firm completed to my full satisfaction... Most recently I had the occasion to use your services to paint my home’s exterior and perform various carpentry repairs. Again, my decision to hire you has been rewarding with both expert skill and attention to detail that your firm has become known for."

"This letter is to commend you and your roofers for the fine job your firm completed repairing the slate roof at the Stamford Museum and Nature Center this summer... Thank you for the excellent quality workmanship. Just over a quarter century ago you assisted us with roof repairs and site work, and as Philip Novak, the assistant director at that time said about your firm in his letter to you in 1979:" "I have no hesitation in recommending your firm to others."

Rocco P., Director of Operations

Stamford Museum and Nature Center

Stamford, Connecticut

"Mr. Gidley worked with me to create an estimate that was within our budget. The pricing accurately reflected the final cost of the project, except where my wife and I added additional work... Mr. Gidley provided me with his personal cell phone number and was always accessible during the job. He visited the worksite promptly whenever I requested it, and always helpful in resolving whatever problems arose... His crews came promptly, when they were supposed to come, and continued working nonstop until the job was completed. I mention this because other contractors I have dealt with disappeared for weeks or even months during a job, leaving the work half completed. Mr. Gidley’s workers were polite, professional and skillful."

Jonathan F., Ph.d., MSW, LCSW

Cos Cob, Connecticut

"From the comprehensive initial quotation through the maintenance of work corresponding to the calendar you established at the outset and the quality of the workmen you provided. Lynn and I were very impressed. In an era when contractors quote only on what you are asking for, show up or don’t yours has been an exceptional experience in that your suggestions, based upon your experience, made us feel we were in capable hands from the very beginning... Interestingly enough, I called your company because we had been so satisfied when we had a successful remodeling project done by your company in 1981 that I had immediate recognition when I saw your name in the Yellow Pages when I began to look for roofing contractors. The convenience of having you guide us through that project as well as the replacement of a few damaged windows made us very comfortable."
