Testimonials

It was a pleasure to work with Munger Construction on this project.  The Lee Company feels confident about adding another Varco Pruden Building to our property.

“On behalf of The University of New Haven, I am passing along my sincerest thanks to the Munger team for the successful design and construction of our new academic building now known as North Hall. The building is in full operation and I have received many compliments that include both appearance and quality. However, the most prevalent comment is the awe expressed with how quickly we were able to construct such a high quality facility. You should be very proud and we are very fortunate to have partnered with the high quality team at Munger Construction. I hope we can partner again on future projects here at the University.”

“There’s an obvious people investment in professionalism and consistency throughout Munger Construction from top to bottom. A similar trust is engrained by Munger with their subs. This is Munger’s core competency. Munger did a phenomenal job creating a versatile 12,000 sq. ft. field house for youths on time and at budget.”

“Munger built our new training center along with expanded retail and office space. Our challenge was to meet the Town of Guilford’s historical aesthetic requirements, create a low maintenance exterior, construct a roof line that blended with the existing structure and to complete the project within an aggressive window. I have a new family and friends. Munger was great at coordinating all the players who became truly part of our team on a daily basis for four months. It was a great experience”.

“Quality Hyundai is leading the charge of Connecticut businesses that are adopting solar to generate their own clean electricity.  It is a sound financial investment that highlights Quality Hyundai’s long term vision and commitment to their community.”

“The Munger, Independence Solar and UI team explained the benefits of this ‘green’ investment and helped us to coordinate with government agencies to offset the associated costs.  We expect payback to be less than six years and a 30 year system life.”

“We are pleased with our decision to go “green” by pursuing this sustainable energy solution for our business and we applaud Munger Construction for a job well done.”

“We selected Munger after an extensive search for a company that we felt would be able to build our dream office within a limited budget. You made it clear that you would actively work with us to make this a reality. We are extremely pleased with the final result. Your project manager was truly outstanding in his ability to supervise and communicate with our architect, the various subcontractors and us.”

“Munger did a tremendous job working with us to design the overall HVAC solution and select the best products and sub-contractors.  This gave us the confidence we needed.”

“The Town of North Haven’s Department of Public Works really appreciated working with the selected EZIQC contractor (Pat Munger Construction) and the ease of the EZIQC program made it both a competitive bid process and a timely one.  The Town was so satisfied we are currently utilizing the process again to construct a Sanitation Garage.”

“As general contractor, Munger was responsible for the entire 6-month project including design/build services for our new retail area and office space along with the HVAC system, which is the largest commercial geothermal application in the area. Munger did a tremendous job working with us to design the HVAC solution and select the best products and sub-contractors. Munger is a very professional organization that is easy to work with, and very thorough from proposal through occupancy. Their proposals, contracts and guidelines are well documented. They deliver the finished product on time. They adhere to their quoted price. They complete follow-ups, repairs and upgrades in a timely manner. They maintain a very clean worksite.”

“Munger made a strong impression by applying its building and roofing expertise to recommend the right solar thermal hot water solution for each rooftop. They get it right the first time. Being customer focused with proactive suggestions, quality workmanship and being available when needed is an unusual combination for a contractor”

“Munger completed a 20,000 sq. ft. addition to our state of the art manufacturing facility and distribution center that complements a 23,600 sq. ft. addition constructed by Munger.  Munger also introduced the benefits from investing in a PV Solar system without the need for roof reinforcement or renovation. So, we invested in a system designed to satisfy 51% of our power needs. Our second major addition along with a PV solar system proves Munger’s ability to serve our evolving needs.”

“Munger completed the installation of a large scale rooftop PV solar system capable of generating over 91,000 kilowatt hours annually. This rooftop solar array demonstrates our company’s commitment to going green as evidenced not only in the high efficiency water heating products we build, but also in the continued reduction of our own carbon footprint”

“We approached Munger because of the quality addition they constructed for our Wallingford service center. Then, we confirmed their current customer satisfaction levels. After speaking with their president I felt comfortable doing business with Munger again, so I hired them to convert a former regional U.S. Post Office processing center into our state of the art car dealership. Munger’s design team collaborated on our green energy plan that includes Low E glass, LED lighting, daylighting systems, high efficiency HVAC systems and a state of the art heating system that is fueled by reused motor oil. Quality Hyundai is the area’s first auto dealership facility to be entirely solar powered through a rooftop solar plant.”

“Munger did an unbelievable job converting a lack-luster 25-year old warehouse into a vibrant world class headquarters and distribution center. Munger was very organized and made sound recommendations. Their subcontractors were fabulous. I attribute this to Munger’s selection process, tenured relationships and teamwork. Buying materials in bulk for use over the 7-month project and repairing rather than replacing the roof saved us over $1 million. Their wonderful people are always available, timely and show personal concern. It’s not just a job to them. The project manager brings lots of experience and frequently offered worthwhile suggestions. They worked closely with the architect and interior, furniture and cabinetry designers, and mechanical engineers. They were involved with the people who installed elaborate heating and cooling systems and with the security system team to get doors and locksets correct.” – Larry Cohen, Owner and President, Star Supply

“There hadn’t been any updates to the building in several centuries. We’re thrilled that Munger was able to complete the total renovation of our restaurant ahead of schedule. Our customers are excited.”

“I asked Munger to inspect our roof and they determined it to be in disrepair. They installed a Varco-Pruden high performance, low profile standing seam roof system over our existing metal roof, and we also benefitted by investing in a PV Solar energy system that Munger installed for us. Munger is skilled at creating the proper roofing infrastructure to support a PV solar system.”

“We needed to find a contractor to solve roofing problems. When we first met with the Munger team, we found them to be very professional. We were impressed with the quality, timeliness and excellent terms of their proposal, along with glowing recommendations that we received from Munger customers that we contacted. Based on this level of confidence, we decided to also expand the space between our two buildings and to perform a facelift to the front building’s facade in addition to solving our roofing problems.”

“We hired Munger to expand the workshop and to upgrade the interior and exterior appearance of our 1938 facility to improve workflow conditions and worker productivity. This was quite a feat since Munger completed its work while the business remained in full operation. I seriously doubt that another contractor could have pulled it off with down time next to nothing. A trusted relationship allows confidence to say I’d never use anyone else. We became a professional company. When you pull into the driveway, you know you’re in a different place. People stop by to see what we’re up to.”

“Once we received the design plans from our architect, we went directly to Munger and asked how they would go about helping us with our renovation that would add 7,220 sq.-ft. of multifaceted space that blended the current renovation with seven prior additions. We did not seek a proposal from anyone else. This complex project enabled Munger to showcase a variety of talents such as carpentry and framing, masonry, structural steel, roofing, internal trim and fit-out and mechanical services. There were many hi-tech elements including HVAC, mechanical, fire and safety. Munger navigated the complex without interrupting customer activity or employee workflows. I am pleased that we were able to greet our fall harvest customers and have them wonder what’s different. They told us that it’s always looked this way.”

“We selected Munger to renovate 20,000 sq. ft. of space to make room for 40 additional employees by modernizing our office interior and incorporating more efficient use of existing space to complement Thule’s green strategy. Although they have been here for ten years working on a variety of successful projects, Munger continually strives to earn the right to continue the relationship. Munger people are enjoyable and easy to work with. They are proficient problem solvers with a talent for creating in-field fixes when reality doesn’t match design as a project evolves. After-care warranty services are great!”

“We chose Munger to build a prototype facility so we can test the benefits of the cellular manufacturing workplace design model. They displayed knowledge and professionalism during our initial meetings. They are very easy to work with, have great communication skills, and provide timely responses to our questions.”

“We needed a partner we can rely on to help navigate uncharted waters – this being the first conversion biodiesel plant in the area and the largest in New England.  When we began our search for a contractor, Munger’s name quickly rose to the top of our list.  It was clear from multiple professional references that their reputation is the best in the area. Munger provided a strong project management team and the flexibility we needed to make adjustments as we moved through permitting and construction.”

“We selected Munger to provide design/build services to retrofit our existing facility and add a new 2-story Varco Pruden building with red standing seam roof, cupola, exterior stonework, gray pillars and siding. We heard good things from Murphy Moving and Storage, a Munger building owner, and from our engineer, Criscuolo Engineering. We felt comfortable with Munger people. We selected Munger even though they were not the low bidder. We know that the quality, workmanship and support will be remembered long after the price is forgotten.”

“Our new headquarters and show room provides more space, a rustic look and convenience that pleases our customers. Instead of searching directories and going through an arduous proposal process, we relied on friends who had invested in buildings with the look and feel we required. Van Wilgen’s Nursery in Branford and the Town of North Branford Public Works Department highly recommended Munger. After visiting their sites, we knew who we wanted to build for us. We didn’t get a proposal from anyone else. Munger designers were able to take my hand-drawn sketch and turn it into a cost effective, aesthetically pleasing design. Munger builds win/win relationships and is easy to work with because of their professionalism and attitude. Everyone seems happy to be at work. Their team takes ownership and is accountable for on-time delivery from start to finish with no excuses. We are impressed with their honesty and integrity. High quality services were delivered with very few change orders. This was a pleasurable experience from start to finish.”

“We selected Munger to renovate our 30 year old maintenance facility so that it can be used for protected, dry storage. Munger also upgraded our salt and sander garage so that nine fully loaded trucks can be stored in a heated building and be ready to go when forecasted storms arrive. This is the sixth time that we’ve selected Munger to do construction work for us.”

“Munger built our new Sanitation Equipment Storage Building along with various site improvements. This helped us to consolidate operations personnel and sanitation equipment at a single location, which will enhance cohesiveness of the Field Operations Division and will better support our town’s infrastructure needs. This is the third time during the past two years that Munger has done work for the town under the state’s ezIQC program.”

“We received positive feedback from Munger customers who told us about their great quality of work. We had great past experiences when Munger performed interior renovations for us, and when we worked for Munger on their Colonial Toyota‬‪‬ and Covidien projects. We didn’t even go out to bid. I trusted them to construct an additional 10,000 sq. ft. of shop and warehouse space through with decorative masonry and natural daylighting.”

“Our new 20,000 sq. ft. facility enabled us to double our warehousing and distribution business, improve the customer experience and dramatically reduce operational costs. After receiving a recommendation from business associates we selected Munger due to its reputation and the confidence that they earned during the consultative selling process. We also liked the work they did for Shoreline Auto Body. Many ideas were presented with respect to the building foundation and in designing a facility that was higher than originally planned. Munger knew what would be acceptable to the town of North Branford. This project might not have been approved without Munger’s involvement in this phase. We ran our business while Munger ran the project.”

“I’m very happy with our new state-of-the-art collision repair service center facility. I’m impressed that a contractor could put together a building of this complexity without any of the mistakes that you’d expect. Munger made sure to understand all of our requirements and their initial proposal accurately presented a total solution. Munger helped me to eliminate surprises along with future business interruptions.”

“We needed a partner we can rely on to help navigate uncharted waters – this being the first conversion biodiesel plant in the area and the largest in New England. When we began our search for a contractor, Munger’s name quickly rose to the top of our list. It was clear from multiple professional references that their reputation is the best in the area. Munger provided a strong project management team and the flexibility we needed to make adjustments as we moved through permitting and construction.”

“We continue to be impressed by Munger’s devotion to the value engineering process. It is satisfying for us as architects when the builder advises the customer regarding risk/reward and provides value engineering by bouncing ideas back and forth to optimize ROI” 

Munger was easy to do business with, caring, responsive and passionate about what they were doing. My client, Star Supply, was very responsive to their suggestions. They had a very nice working relationship and mutual understanding. A fair exchange on both sides, when negotiating change orders, puts people at ease. Munger’s project manager did a superb job of staying on top of everything and was always available for us. Munger completed a number of punch list finishing touches without interrupting business operations. I am delighted with their responsiveness when we need them to return for a particular issue that we discover after-the-fact.

“When the Bishops selected Munger to implement the design, I was very pleased because of the prior work we had done together on another project.”

“Munger made a lasting impression on us. Installing a new roof atop the old one prior to beginning the renovation proved that they were listening. They worked around our need for space and we appreciated that the same foreman was on the job for the entire project. He continuously made helpful suggestions during the six month project. Unlike experiences I’ve had with other builders, Munger’s subcontractors arrived on time 95% of the time and Munger showed a consistent knack for bringing in their subcontractors for quick needs that weren’t included in the project plan.”

“Munger’s turnkey solution is seamless with no shortcuts, built to the highest structural standards and without strain on the customer. My time involvement was minimized in avoiding follow up activities with architects, electricians, etc.”

“We kept our operations in full swing during the construction with very little disruption, much to our satisfaction.”

“Munger provided peace of mind. They have great people. Their management is ‘Johnny on the spot’ with their finger on the pulse of each project. They are convenient, painless, seamless and honest, which is what builds relationships. These qualities are as important to me as quality workmanship. Being an involved customer, Munger welcomed my enthusiasm with open arms.”

“After 27 years of leasing space, spending $800,000 on our own facility made us feel uncomfortable. From day one, Munger quickly responded to bank and SBA requests for detailed construction information. We never heard from inspectors regarding construction issues. They were quite impressed with how clean the site was kept. They are down to earth. They stick with the original approach proving a confidence that the end result will be achieved although minor issues will arise. When we discovered that the entrance area would not be as presentable as we would have liked, Munger re-engineered it for a reasonable cost uplift. It came out very nice. They solved day-to-day issues behind the scenes, but kept us apprised of the overall situation. They repair small maintenance problems – the next day. I can’t believe that the project was completed when they said it was going to be completed and for the cost that was promised. They are so different from the stereotype. ‘Call my cell whenever you need to contact me’ meant a lot coming from their president.”

“During our 13-year relationship with Munger we have received excellent work from the simplest repairs to more complex building projects ranging from oil pits, ventilation systems, metal roofing and a 45,000 square-foot design/build office and manufacturing addition – our single defining project. Like all of their jobs, it was completed on time and on budget. Workmanship was excellent. It continues to be the centerpiece of our facility. Attention to detail is obvious from start to finish in all of their projects. Munger has always been there for our “rush” projects.”

“All work performed was of excellent quality and performed in a timely manner. Much of the construction was customized, not traditional in nature, yet was seamlessly executed. I appreciate your adaptability to our special needs in spite of winter’s challenging weather.”

“Munger is loyal and helps us to retain a strong brand position. Our relationship continues to evolve thru trust where the owners only need to shake hands and the deal is solid. We both go the extra mile through similar customer-centric cultures. Munger employees are high integrity people who are in it for the long haul. They are respectful professionals who have pride in quality workmanship – an old time work ethic. Munger follows modern business practices, but retains that old fashioned flair for detail and being easy to work with. Munger builds win/win partnerships with their vendors and treats sub-contractors like employees. They always work to find a solution without pointing fingers. Munger is adept at scoping each project, which minimizes change orders and unpleasant surprises. This attitude trickles down to their subs as well. I’ve heard those tempted by a low price say after the fact, ‘I wish we had gone with the Munger solution’. Munger minimizes risk by aligning everyone through effective communications – during design phase, at project kick-off and during status meetings. Munger’s well written contracts prepare us to understand our role in the overall deliverable. Their pre-scope face-to-face meetings are unique. I’m proud to be associated with a company that has grown to where it is by doing all the right things. I’d do anything for these guys. We don’t work for those without this resume”

“Bishop’s Orchards has been using Pat Munger Construction for our building construction and renovation work for more than 20 years. Our extensive project list speaks to our status as a satisfied customer who has found Pat Munger Construction to be a reliable contractor with the ability to deliver a quality product, on time, on budget, and in the case of our retail facility, the ability to work under challenging conditions with minimal disruption to our business activities, while maintaining a safe, neat worksite. We have great trust and confidence in Munger Construction and look forward to future projects together.”

“New Class A office space for our Sales Engineering and Screen Groups, along with a new large, complex industrial facility for our IMH Group will greatly enhanced our high quality standards. During our long relationship, we’ve always been impressed with Munger’s professionalism and dedication to customer service. This, along with Munger always delivering a quality, well managed product at a fair price, has retained us as repeat customers.” – Leighton Lee IV, Facilities Manager, The Lee Company

“We needed a larger common facility to serve our growing business. The Munger team managed the project for me. I wouldn’t have imagined that such a large project would go so smoothly. Munger continues to top the commercial builder stereotype by delivering what they say they’re going to deliver.
