Subject: Thank You
Dear Jim,
This is the long over due thank you note that we intended to send since Conquest did the first addition to our house eight years ago. I guess the fact that we used your company for our next project, the expansion and remodel of our kitchen and the expansion of our living room says it all. We find everyone you employ, from your receptionist Mayra, to your project manager Marcos, to be very knowledgeable, friendly and professional. The workmanship has always been first rate, and at the end of every day, your crews always cleaned up and left our property in good shape. It has been a pleasure to work with you and your company.
Thanks again,
The Mason Family

Subject: Pool Addition
When we decided to add a pool to our backyard we had a hard time finding a contractor. None of our friends would recommend the contractors they had used! Finally my sister said to talk to Jim Korkunis at Conquest GBC because he had done other work in her neighborhood and she had heard good things. We interviewed four contractors for the pool and chose Conquest. Conquest GBC put in our pool in October 2005. The whole process was made easy by Jim's focus on the details and solid communication. The sub-contractors he brought in were professional, there when they said they would be and cleaned up at the end of each day. We got the pool of our dreams and are still loving it.
Thank you!

Over the years we have used Conquest for several projects as small as a Barbeque, to a six figure pool and back yard remodel. If you are looking for a contractor that will provide an accurate bid with timelines and quality work you can count on use Conquest. Jim also stands behind his work and backs up every promise he makes. I will use him again and have refered him to several people that have all thanked me and are happy with the work Jim and his team do.
Fast Fair and Friendly Conquest gets it done!

Subject: Room Addition
We recently used Conquest for a major room addition and we were pleased with the friendly and efficient service we received. Not only is their staff friendly to deal with from the big picture right down to the smallest detail, but the craftsmanship of their construction workers is unsurpassed. They were clean, friendly, helpful and did an amazing job. We'd use Jim and his crew again in a heartbeat and have referred several of our friends already. Thanks Conquest!

Subject: Home Renovation and Addition
Conquest General Building Contractors completed a major home renovation and addition for us in 2006-2007 spanning eight months. We found Jim Korkunis and his crew to be professional, reliable, and kept the project moving on time. The quality of the work, including that of all subcontractors, was excellent and we still receive compliments from our guests. We were particularly impressed with the attitude of the crew to keep the worksite clean and accommodate our needs and schedules. Jim quoted a price that reflected the high quality of the delivered work. We have no hestiation in recommending Conquest GBC to our friends since we are highly satisfied with our project.

Subject: Remodeling
We have been extremely happy with the outcome of our two home improvement projects with Conquest GBC. The first project was a major interior renovation which included tearing out the dining room, family room and kitchen and replacing a major load bearing wall. (Our downstairs was unlivable for three months). Jim and his crew were ALWAYS on time, reliable, did incredible work, gave us realistic timeframes and most importantly cleaned up at the end of the day. Imagine coming home to a 4 foot pile of dirt in the middle of your family room (due to the foundation work). They were able to keep the chaos to a minimum. Whenever we left a message, he was ALWAYS diligent about getting back to us, if not that same day, within 24 hours. He was also on the job site on a daily basis. Jim worked with us on coming up with a doable budget based on the design plans. Jim had a saying when we asked if he could do something, he said he could do whatever we asked, it was only a matter of what we wanted to pay.
Our second project three years later was a backyard landscape project. This included an in-ground spa, cement patios, patio covers and landscaping. Once again, we had no hesitation in asking Jim to work with us on creating a manageable budget and realistic timeline. We had the same crew and Jim always brought in reliable and economical sub-contractors (paint, landscape and patio covers).
We have no hesitation in recommending Jim and Conquest GBC for either interior or exterior renovations. Having heard of the challenges friends have faced in their home improvement projects, we feel incredibly lucky to have found Jim and his company.

I contracted with Conquest in late 1999 to build an addition onto my home which included an office, third garage stall, storage area, deck, some minor interior remodeling and an additional HVAC system. Jim was referred to me by another contractor, and I had not met him prior to this job. The project was completed in early 2000.
I was very satisfied with the following aspects of working with Conquest:
- Professional and thorough presentation of the bid
- Very professional, reliable, trustworthy and friendly staff, both on the job site and in Jim's office
- Timely completion of work, with the only significant delays caused by weather
- Excellent communication - I always knew who was going to be on the site, and when
- Flexibility to changes; fairness in change orders
- Good quality craftsmanship
- Job site left clean and orderly every day (we were living in the house during the project)
- An addition that blends nearly perfectly with the original house, including stucco color and texture, exterior trim color and interior wall and ceiling textures.
- Immediate responsiveness to two minor problems that developed after completion of the project
This addition project was (and is) truly a joy, and working with Jim and his staff was a great experience. Jim took full responsibility for the project and for meeting my requirements. I would contract with Conquest again without hesitation, and have recommended Jim to family and friends.
