Doug Burnham - Burnham Construction
Q: How many years has Andrews subcontracted for you?
A: Since about 1987.
Q: What impresses you about Andrews crews?
A: They're always receptive and take care of business in a good business atmosphere. They do good work
I've gotta say that. They've done good work over the years. They put up a good wall, and usually within tolerances.
You don't have to cut things out and grind things off to make things work. They pull things off.
Q: How do they rate with other concrete contractors?
A: Well, they are above the quality the other guys have provided. There has only been a couple of instances of problems
( that were due to weather ) that created bad issues and they took care of them 100%. To rate that, that's 100% plus rating compared
to the other guys. When you work with Andrews, you feel like more of a partner.
Q: More of a relationship based company?
A: Well yeah, you know, you go with someone who does the job right so it doesn't make your job any harder, and you get
a better finished product in the end. They've got a good track record, they get stuff done. Even when they get busy they
have been able to keep that pace and actually keep the quality of it too.
Garry Tissue - Tissue Construction Inc.
Q: How long have you used Andrews Concrete for residential concrete?
A: Almost since they started. The spring of 1976, or close to fourty years.
Q: What is it about Andrews that most impresses you?
A: Oh, that they got the equipment and manpower to get the job done. They know they have to do quality work.
Concrete can be chaos, once you pour the wall, or once you pour the floor, if it ain't right, the only way to fix it
is to tear it out. They have always been good about getting it right the first time. They got people to get the job done.
Q: Do you feel the Andrews crews got it down?
A: Oh yeah, when they hit the ground running, there's no standing around. They know what they gotta do. Yeah, they got it together.
Q: How do they rate among other contractors?
A: Oh, they're top notch, they're top door. For years they are the only ones I use. Seldom was there any misstep.
Q: Does Andrews do commercial concrete for you also?
A: We've done a lot of commercial work too. We've done some jobs in commercial parks where we put 20,000 square
feet of six inch reinforced concrete floor and they poured it all in one shot. Andrews is probably ones that could pour that big.
Q: They have modern equipment don't they?
A: Oh yeah, they've got first class equipment. Their whole grounds are really impressive especially in a smaller town.
