"I am pleased to provide you with this letter of reference for your exclusive use.

Carey Contracting was the low bidder on the Terminal Renovation and Expansion project at the Ford Airport in Kingsford Michigan. The project as bid was over the Architects budget and through extensive negotiations the project was modified to meet the available funding. Through these negotiations, your firm provided excellent cooperation and solid advice where reductions in cost could be made without major reductions in the overall project scope.

As the project proceeded, again with your cooperation and advice, we made further adjustments to the project scope to enhance the overall project appearance and efficiency. As any remodeling project proceeds, unknown conditions at the time of bidding occurs, and your firm provided reasonable alternatives to resolving these problems at a fair price to the owner.

In summary, your firm provided excellent leadership and fair pricing for all changes which made this project run very smoothly while maintaining on time scheduling and overall project budgets.

We are happy to recommend your firm to any of your future clients."

"As a Consulting Engineer in the area of Building Design and Construction Inspection, I have had the opportunity to observe construction practices and quality of construction of several contractors in Dickinson County and Northern Wisconsin. Carey Contracting being one of those contractors.

In 2005 and 2006, Carey Contracting was awarded a contract with the First National Bank of Norway to construct an addition to their Branch Office in Iron Mountain...My experience with this contractor was nothing short of very good. They delivered a quality product in compliance with the plans and specification in a timely manner and within budget.

A very important aspect to the success of this project was the open line of communication and cooperation on behalf of the contractor. Project schedules, change orders, plan interpretations, materals and project related problems were discussed on a daily basis with management and staff. Required paperwork was always submitted on time and staff was always available to assist with any conerns of the project.

Based on my experience, Carey Contracting comes highly recommended and would be an asset on any type of building or renovation project."

"I am writing this letter in regards to Carey Contracting.

The Hermansville Housing Commission hired Carey Contracting to put an addition onto our public housing project in Hermansville.

I would not hesitate to hire Carey Contracting again, they were a very nice firm to work for and I had no problems with any of their workers. The workers did an excellent job and completed the job on time.

The paper work was always here on time and there was never a problem with work or with communication.

When choosing a construction firm, Carey Contracting would always be my first choice.

"Carey Contracting, Inc. was the contractor for Era Chevrolet, a new building designed by this firm (SEH). Carey successfully negotiated the contract to within the owner's budget. By suggesting reasonable alternatives, the owner was able to make informed decisions to reduce the initial cost of the project.

Carey Contracting fulfilled their obligations under the contract, coordinating multiple subcontractors and suppliers. The superintendent and project manager cooperated with the owner's needs, and compiled with the intent of the contract documents.

With few exceptions, we were pleased with the quality of the work on this project."
