To Whom it may concern,

I have know Graham Carr for the past three years. We met while working together on a major residential project in Boulder County. He was the Job Superintendent and I was the Project Manager. This project had a very tight time line, required a high level of finish and craftsmanship, and required diligent coordination by the general Contractor. The project was completed on time and on budget, do in large part because of Graham’s high level of professionalism.

The quality that most impresses me about Graham is his attention to detail. There was extensive and complicated woodwork throughout this particular project that had the potential to cause a contractor major problems. Graham made mock-ups of all the complicated detail items and we were able to easily work through all the issues that come up during construction.

Please fell free to call me if you have any question and I will happily tell you of my experience working with Graham.

To Whom It May Concern:

I am pleased to furnish this letter of recommendation in behalf of Mr. Graham Carr.

Graham, as a partner in Absolute Construction, provided high quality construction services for the one-quarter million dollar addition to and remodeling of a 1901 Victorian style residence for which I was the Architect. The complex project was extensively detailed and demanded high quality custom craftsmanship throughout. The daily and intimate involvement of the owners also required superior ‘people skills’. Graham performed exceptionally on these points and more. He continually displayed a genuine interest in the owner’s and my concerns, and maintained high levels of pride and craftsmanship in every aspect of the project’s execution. The owners and I are very pleased with the results and feel fortunate to have had Graham’s involvement.

That excellent performance, under difficult circumstances, led me to involve Absolute Construction in another project which Graham’s client relations skills were instrumental in securing. This project, the addition to and remodeling of a classic Denver ‘bungalow’, is currently awaiting financing and expected to proceed. I am sincerely disappointed that Graham will not participate.

Of the many talented craftsmen I have worked with, I asked Graham to perform remodeling work for my residence. And, as expected, the results exceeded my expectations.

Graham is a person of integrity, pride and good character. His superior carpentry skills, love of craft and ability with people make him an asset to any project where the owners genuinely desire quality results. I like and respect him personally and professionally.

I recommend him without qualification.

Sincerely,
Harrison Phillips

Subject: Graham Carr (Pinewood Construction)

This is to introduce Graham Carr with whom we have been associated since August 2001. We have employed Graham to construct a (24) square foot garage with an (18x24) shop area beneath. Further, we are having Graham construct an approximate (1,000) square foot deck.

From the beginning of this project, Graham has been more than competent in all facets of construction, including operating heavy/light machinery such as backhoes, bobcats, cement mixers, etc. He has completed excavation, forms, foundation walls, framing of the garage and deck, and relocation and connection of various utilities (gas, electric, water). We are aware that Graham is a master carpenter, but he is also quite knowledgeable in all areas to the degree that he can provide a complete and professional product.

Graham has also been quite helpful in offering advice to enhance accessibility, value, and convenience to our project. When he does encounter problems, we have found him to show unending determination to arrive at the best possible solution.

We highly recommend Graham for anything from new construction, remodeling or even smaller projects.

Respectfully,
Gary and Patti York

Re: Mr. Graham Carr

To Whom it May Concern,

I have been asked by Mr. Carr for a letter or recommendation regarding his building and carpentering skills. Without hesitation, I would recommend Graham for any building job, both large and small.

Graham has exercised a degree of skill and care in our construction and remodeling job which is wonderful to find when undertaking a task of the magnitude we hired him to complete. Graham understood from the very beginning what we were attempting to accomplish in the remodel and addition of our historic home. Graham exceeded even my expectations regarding our renovation, and I must admit, being a former carpenter, I am not the easiest customer. Both Wendy and I have been impressed with his ideas, vision, and efficient use of time.

Graham has demonstrated that he has an extremely well founded background in building principles and in working with the building codes, both the Uniform Building Code and the Denver Building Code. Graham’s years of experience and dedication to improving his skills, is readily evident in his finished product.

I’ll miss Graham when we undertake our next remodel.

Very Truly Yours,
Thomas D. Vrooman

To Whom It May Concern:

This letter of recommendation is written on behalf, and at the request, of Graham Carr. My Wife and I know Graham because he supervised the remodeling of a bathroom at our home in Denver. We have found him to be pleasant to work with, as well as reliable and professional in manner. He clearly knows his craft very well. Whenever an unanticipated problem presented itself, Graham was most helpful in resolving that problem. This trait is particularly important, and often lacking, in the remodeling industry. We would recommend Graham for this type of work without any reservation or hesitation. Should you desire any additional input from us please feel free to call.

Sincerely,

To whom it may concern

It is my pleasure to write a referral letter for Graham Carr. I have known Graham since 2002 when he was construction superintendent for the contractor who was selected to do a major remodel of my personal residence. Since that time I have come to know Graham on both a professional and personal level.

Graham has always accepted the reasonability’s connected with the various projects that he and I have been involved in over the period since the remodel of my residence. In all instances he has fulfilled those reasonability’s with a high level of competence.

His honesty and willingness to explain clearly any issue that is in question is a great strength. I have been impressed with his trustworthiness and his ability to follow thru with job assignments without supervision. He is able to take on a project and think it through and complete it in an efficient manner.

I am confident that Graham would be a productive and efficient employee that could be relied on to do any assigned task efficiently.

Respectfully,
Dr. Lawrence R. Martin

Subject: Graham Carr Letter of Recommendation

To Whom It May Concern,

I have had the pleasure of working with Graham Carr for the past six years. We were connected because we were both living in Sedro Woolley, Washington and at the same time, we were both building homes in Costa Rica.

Graham has been, and continues to be instrumental in providing advise in the infrastructure and construction of our home and farmland in Costa Rica. His experience in residential and commercial construction in the US and in Costa Rica is hands-on. He not only knew which materials to ship to Costa Rica but how to ship them and when to use local items. Graham got us started shipping the necessary materials to Costa Rica for our home.

Graham showed me his home in Guanacaste, Costa Rica in December of 2019 and explained in detail the issues that we would be facing from the facia board on the roof line to the tiniest detail of door sweeps to keep bugs out. When necessary, Graham provided photos and drawing and extensive building instructions (in English and Spanish) that I provided to our contractor and subcontractors. His recommendations saved us major damage that would have occurred due to the heavy rains in Costa Rica on our roof and ceiling (as one example). During Covid when our house under construction and we were only seeing it remotely through photos, Graham could pick up plumbing problems, possible warping of wood for doors and cabinets and even the proper way to cover steel beams inside our bathroom – all remotely off the pictures and videos our contractor was sending us.

I am a forensic accountant and I worked in contract accounting and auditing for over forty- years. I have discussed and shared many cost tracking methods and ways to manage the numerous projects we have in Costa Rica with Graham. He has exceptional on-site building skills and knowledge of materials and equipment and the managerial side to detail construction projects. This is a unique balance of skills. I worked with hundreds of people on the North Slope of Alaska in the oilfield and there are very few Project Managers that can run construction projects and manage the contract and tracking process. Graham is an excellent Project Manager. Graham will be an asset to any organization because he knows how to build and team and can focus on meeting deadlines and the details to get there.

I am available at [contact details removed for privacy] should you need additional insight on Graham Carr.

Sincerely,
