3. Client & Partner Reviews
“Gordon’s Castle demonstrated the agility required in adjusting to the unpredictable
challenges that arise in renovating any depression-era building. As challenges arose,
the construction team consistently demonstrated the ability to not only identify
problems but to be proactive in developing solutions…… Supported by the team,
in particular, Jimmy Martin, Job Superintendent, and his talents and expertise in
customization, we were able to capitalize on these challenges and create a product
that boasts of unique features and gives it a truly special quality.”
