Emmitt T.
While deciding on a builder, other GCs said Terry wouldn’t be hands-on, but he proved us right. His eye for detail, quality, and first-class work is probably the reason we landed on Paterson Project Management. Terry and his team exceeded our expectations.

They were on time, on budget, the project manager almost became like family after the project was done. They always did what they said they were going to do, they were completely transparent, flexible with us in making changes, anything we wanted they did. Truly it was a wonderful experience working with them.
