Testimonials

Mr. Garcia,

We had heard so much about you by word of mouth over the years that signing on with your company for our addition was a “no-brainer”. As we near completion of our project, we want you to know that our expectations were exceeded every step of the way. Your employees, contractors, and subcontractors were able, professional, and exacting in their work. More importantly, they were the nicest group of people we have ever met, bar none. Congratulations for assembling this great collection of talent and kind souls.

They do you proud, sir.

P.S. When we build our dream home at the beach, I hope you will consider letting your guys work that far from home.

Dear Mike,

I begin this correspondence by stating that Connie and I absolutely love our new home! Although there are still some minor issues to be resolved, we are getting used to the different features in the house and how everything operates. It is a beautiful house that we are very proud to call home. I want to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to the Mike Garcia Construction team for the support and guidance throughout every aspect of this home buying experience. Connie and I are broke for awhile…but as we stand and gaze at our new home, we both feel that it is worth it. I want to particularly thank Dave and his team for the exceptional support rendered throughout this process. I was in touch with Dave constantly throughout this process and he always gave me good advice and kept me abreast of the schedule and what was happening. He was always quite honest with me and willing to listen and act on my concerns. He and his team are excellent ambassadors for the Mike Garcia Construction Company and name. Our thanks again for constructing a beautiful house and a cozy home.

I had reached capacity at the mechanic’s shop that I was leasing and desperately needed more space to grow my business.  Through a mutual banking associate, I was referred to Mike Garcia as a potential means to construct my own building.  Little did I know, but Mike and his team were able to help not only with the “sticks and bricks” of building, but Mike helped me find a property with the right zoning for my business, helped me negotiate the sales price, and even helped me purchase additional acreage from the adjacent land owner when we discovered we needed more land to install the storm detention pond.  Where Mike really shined was his ability to help me get creative with my finances in order to make the project a reality.  My appraisal unfortunately came in low, which would have ended most projects, but Mike suggested ideas that helped me circumvent the issue while also getting ownership into my son’s name.  It truly was a win/win and achieved my goals of generational wealth for my family.

As far as the construction was concerned, from the time our site permit was approved for construction to my occupancy permit for the building was just 6 months, with all my site and VDOT bonds released one month later!  I love my building and the increased capacity it provides my business.  Mike Garcia Construction is a top notch company with a knowledgeable and honest staff that truly made this stressful undertaking a bearable reality.

Dearest Robin-
I can honestly say that I AM SOOOOO SAD that my basement project is complete!!! We have BOTH thoroughly appreciated and ENJOYED getting to know you Matt & Mike. We can see what the Garcia family VALUES because your sub-contractors are representatives of YOUR FAMILY!

I’d like to send along a special thanks to Mike Mott, Billy & Mark for their hard work, dedication, skill and ALWAYS respectful and professional demeanor. But the greatest blessing to me throughout this project was Mr. Ron! I was very impressed THROUGHOUT that Ron was able to coordinate all aspects of the job so that once we had permits in hand, there was rarely a day when SOMETHING wasn’t being worked on. Even when there was an “unexpected hitch”, I NEVER heard a negative remark or sensed a negative attitude of any kind! Ron is a complete STANDOUT when it comes to EVERYTHING that he does as “Superintendent”!

Scott & I moved here in 2002 from Arizona where he was running the ROTC department at Arizona State University. We moved into Prince William County so Scott could complete his final assignment with the Army at the Pentagon and I could “finish” raising our 4 kids. The home we purchased back then has changed over these 21 years quite a bit. We hired various contractors to renovate bathrooms, the kitchen (twice), a family room extension, installed an in-ground pool, a detached garage, landscaping & hardscape around the whole house AND Scott built a treehouse 😆. We have met & “worked with” too many “Project Managers” or “Superintendents” to count. Ron is ONE of 2 Superintendents that I would ABSOLUTELY look forward to working with again because of his knowledge, his good humor, his positivity, his very “giving”nature and the example he sets with his very high standards. I thank you for wisdom in employing folks of such STELLAR quality!

I will (sadly) be mailing you our last check tomorrow.

Gratefully & Sincerely thankful,

The purpose of this letter is to explain briefly the business relationship between Marine Toys for Tots Foundation and Mike Garcia Construction Company (MGC) and the positive experience that resulted from that business relationship.

In December 2006, as the President & CEO of Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, I made a verbal agreement for the construction of an office facility on property owned by Mr. Garcia, President & CEO of MGC. On February 9, 2007, we signed a formal agreement to confirm our earlier verbal agreement. On March 23, 2007, we had a groundbreaking ceremony on the construction site and construction began within days thereafter. From that date until December 17, 2007, my staff visited the site weekly, met with the construction supervisor and observed the progress. Within weeks of commencement of construction, MGC forged ahead of schedule. Mr. Garcia appointed his son, Michael, as the site supervisor. The performance of Michael can only be described as totally outstanding. He was always at the site and always fully aware of every aspect of the construction project. Clearly, the quality of the final product and the pace of activity were directly related to a competent, dedicated on­scene supervisor.

On December 17, 2007, we held the first building inspection of the new facility which was approximately 95% complete at that point in time. We found only minor issues that needed attention. On January 9, 2008, we made the final inspection and determined that all items identified in December had been corrected. Importantly, MGC had completed the project within the agreed budget and ahead of the scheduled completion date.

Tittoughout the building, MGC incorporated quality additions beyond what is notmally found in an office facility. This special customization transformed the building from an ordinary office facility into an impressive headquarters for a national charity.

The combination of the design and quality construction enables this office facility to contribute positively to the Prince William County master plan for the refurbishment of the Highway #1 corridor through the eastern portion of the county. Most importantly, this facility provides the Foundation staff with a truly high quality work environment which will increase productivity and enhance morale. This translates into a more effective and efficient staff that will be able to provide more responsive and timely support to local Toys for Tots Coordinators, corporate sponsors, donors and supporters. The end result will be a more effective overall nationwide Toys for Tots Program.

From the first meeting to the settlement on January 15, 2008, every aspect of the business partnership reflected professionalism and integrity. I feel strongly that it will be difficult to find a construction company that surpasses MGC in quality of workmanship or overall professionalism. When MGC takes on a project, the entire organization rallies behind Mike Garcia with enthusiasm, a positive attitude and a determination to deliver the highest quality product in the timeliest manner possible. Concisely stated, it was a pleasure doing business with Mike Garcia and his team.

Mike Garcia and his company provide an example that all others should strive to emulate. I would not undertake a future construction project without first consulting with Mike Garcia. I find him a man of the highest sense of honor and a professional of the first order.

I enthusiastically recommend Mike Garcia and his company for any type construction project.

On behalf of the Prince William Health District, it is my sincere pleasure to offer this letter of recommendation for Mike Garcia Construction.

The Virginia Department of Health (Prince William Health District) contracted with Mike Garcia Construction in 2008 to build a new health facility at Parkway Commons in Woodbridge, VA which encompassed design coordination across multiple departments (WIC, Dental, dental equipment vendors, systems furniture, Prince William County Information Technology department, and the moving of staff). From the planning stage, throughout construction changes and change orders, the professionalism of Mike Garcia Construction was evident. To have obtained the level of quality and consistency throughout the design and construction process is a testament to their leadership and MGC’s ability to “field the right team.” It was through the excellent communication skills, their ability to work well under pressure, the technical knowledge of their superintendent and project manager, and ability to stay within the critical path of construction that they successfully delivered our project withing the projected schedule and under budget.

The quality and professionalism displayed were just what we expected from Mike Garcia Construction and just what we knew would have been difficult to find anywhere else. It is very apparent that Mike Garcia Construction is devoted to serving their clients in a most exceptional way.

I love the addition over our garage! We have more room to spread out and entertain guests. Thank you to the Mike Garcia team for a job well done!
