Report
Exceptional service and value from Shurway Contracting! Our projects were completed timely and with competitive pricing. We had frequent and direct communications with the project manager and even the partners attended site meetings from time to time. The site superintendent was professional and skilled throughout the entire project. We will hire this company again confidently for our upcoming projects.

We engaged Shurway Contracting for a small job and while Kevin was helpful and the design work was very professional the individual they sent to do the work - Mike Tucker - was clearly the wrong man for the job. I try to give people the benefit of the doubt but he really wasn't up for the simplest task. The work quality was extremely poor and when I tried to explain this to him and pointed out the shoddy work he tried to laugh it off. Ultimately we resolved the issue but I would not recommend using Shurway again (or at least request someone other than Mike Tucker).
