I highly recommend Dowling construction for your next building project or home construction. We had a wonderful experience and I owe it all to George. Our home was built last spring (2019) and we moved in summer of 2019. George cares about the customer number one. He is extremely efficient, hardworking, and honest. George will go above and beyond any expectation you may have. Ultimately George is the reason why we love our home so much- I dont ever want to leave, haha! His subs were great to work with too. George ensures you are satisfied/taken care of, respectfully stays within your budget

Excellent Builders! Attention to detail, compassion and integrity are how I would describe the team who work here. We were expertly guided through the home planning process, to floor design, to the finished product with great communication and experienced advice. The best part was George and his crew really stayed within their deadlines, and the subs all did a great job as well. We are very pleased will the finished product. We still cannot believe we have such a beautiful home!

I have worked at Dowling Construction for 12 years and they are a great Company who takes care of their customers. As far as the previous review, I have no experience talking to him nor do I show him as ever being our customer. ?? So I'm not quite sure where his review is coming from.
