TESTIMONIALS
what our clients have to say
Mac Bell, President
Veteran’s Outpatient Clinic
David and his company met or exceeded all of our expectations. His crew members were professional, accommodating, respectful to one and all, and met every single deadline. Their work, start to finish, was technically proficient and performed with pride and care. The Veteran’s Outpatient Medical Clinic in Gloucester continues to get compliments on just how well everything turned out!
John Keenan, President
Salem State University
We’re extremely happy with the project - it's worked out quite well for Salem State. The partnership with both Bob Burr and Groom was fantastic.
Robert Burr, Developer, 331 Lafayette Street
Salem State University
Groom Construction was the General Contractor. They are by far the best company that I’ve worked for within 30 years in terms of reliability, honesty, intuitiveness, and Scott Faulkner in particular, Project Manager and Principal.
Gary Stoloff, Senior Project Manager
WaypointKLA
David Groom, one of the owners of the company, has spent a considerable amount of time thoroughly examining the drawings and working through structural, mechanical, and electrical issues with both the project engineers and subcontractors. Dave committed himself and his time to the project with an impressive hands-on approach which is quite rare with the larger general contracting firms.
Noelle LeBlanc & John Harrison
The Work Loft
The Groom team was a delight to work with. A well-defined project timeline was established upfront, and close attention was paid throughout to ensure that risks were identified and mitigated in time to avoid delays. As unexpected issues popped up, the skilled team offered creative solutions. Thank you, Groom!
Tom Levenberg, Chairman
Temple Shirat Hayam
We want to thank you for your focus, can-do attitude, professionalism and great work on the Shirat Hayam project. Your team never flinched, and you delivered quality and you delivered on time. Groom Construction should take great pride in this project for years to come. Our congregation certainly will.
Edward T. Moore, President
Glover Property Management
If we were asked to provide a numerical rating for Groom, on a scale of one to 10 for overall project management, scheduling, quality of work, and timeliness in responding to our needs, Groom would achieve a nine or 10 on all those aspects of project management.
James G. Alexander, Principal
Finegold Alexander Architects Inc
We worked with Groom Construction on the Lynch Van-Otterloo YMCA facility for the past three years. Throughout the pre-design and construction of the Y, the Groom team has been collegial, professional, and flexible. Groom construction has fostered good teamwork and shown strong leadership in the successful construction of this $17 million facility.
Dr. Rob Levy, M.D.
Eye Center of the North Shore
I think we can speak for all of us in saying how incredibly pleased we are with all of your efforts. I was so impressed with your staff.
Jonathan Evans
First Presbyterian Church
It was a great experience working with Groom Construction. As a church, we had relatively little money for the project and Groom was able to work closely with S + V Design to come up with a building that would both meet the needs of the church and be affordable to us as well. We cannot overstate our thanks and highly recommend Groom Construction.
Paul Gorman, President & CEO
South Shore YMCA
The Groom team exemplified the company's commitment to honesty, integrity, and quality of work. Their level of professionalism and commitment to excellence as a company was clear while also demonstrating great flexibility and a willingness to work with us before, during and after construction.
Merrill H. Diamond, Principal
BRIX - Diamond-Sinacori
My experience working with Groom on BRIX will always be marked by the organizational skills and patience of Groom’s Project Manager, Graeme Poole. Compliments to Dave Groom for having these kinds of folks as his associates. Indeed, nothing speaks more highly of a company than the character, integrity, and even the temperament of the people he has in the trenches.
KOHL'S, Chief Property Officer
Mark Griepentrog
I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the partnership that you and your dedicated team extended to Kohl's during the 2022 Sephora @ Kohl's rollout. 400 Sephora shops delivered in 4 months! That is an absolutely remarkable feat. You and your team played an essential role in accomplishing it. Planning, bidding, executing, communicating & problem-solving on 16 stores. During normal times, this would be a tall task, but in one of the toughest labor and material markets in recent history .... Amazing. The Kohl's + Sephora partnership is a transformational moment for both companies. Groom Company is now an indelible part of it. Please let the members of your team know how much we appreciate their time, effort and care. We value the partnership and the relationships that our organizations and people have worked so hard to build.
Katherine Tallman, Executive Director & CEO
Coolidge Corner Theatre
We knew from the outset that David Groom and his team are uniquely qualified to build the expansion. They have deep, relevant construction experience and a community orientation that is perfectly aligned with the mission of the Coolidge to entertain, inform and engage, building vital community through film culture,” said Katherine Tallman, Executive Director and CEO of Coolidge Corner Theatre Foundation. “We look forward to celebrating the success of the project and their significant contributions.
Michael Maynard, President & Board Chair
Coolidge Corner Theatre
David Groom and his team have been exemplary partners with the Coolidge Corner Theatre Board and staff for over two years as we progressed through the design, permitting, preconstruction and construction phases of this exciting expansion project. We look forward to a productive continuation of this relationship through construction completion in early 2023 and a grand celebration of our collective contribution to the civic and cultural life of Brookline and Greater Boston,” said Michael Maynard, president and board chair of Coolidge Corner Theatre Foundation.
Michael J. Jones, President & CEO
Institution for Savings
We have worked with many construction companies over the years and our expectations are high. From our first meeting until the ribbon was cut, Groom Construction met those expectations at every step. Their team was courteous, professional and most importantly, efficient. The construction process was thorough and meticulous, and the result is our beautiful new Salem office completed on time and on budget. Overall, it was a great experience and we look forward to working with them on future projects.
ADEP Group
Subcontracting Partner
From start to finish Groom Construction runs a tight ship on all their projects by being communicative and consistent. With their industry knowledge and professional culture you feel that they not only care about the project but wish to make ongoing relationships. We recommend any company work with Groom Construction if given the chance.
Thaddeus S Siemasko, AIA, Principal,
SV Design
SV Design views successful projects as requiring a strong ‘three-legged stool’ the legs consisting of the Owner, Architect, and Builder. Groom Construction has proven to be a very strong leg of that stool throughout their organization and we can give them our highest recommendation.
Felicia Pierce, Chief Program Officer

Well done Groom, and please keep diversity growth in the forefront of your goals and objectives in 2022 and beyond

Chris Gerard, Project Manager

Residential Client
This was our second project with Groom Construction Company. Our project manager was always available to answer questions, educate us, show us options, provide up-to-date costs and time frames as well as a weekly ‘to-do list” to help keep the project on schedule and on budget. Groom Construction was reliable, professional, and honest. If we have a third project, we will absolutely use Groom again!
Residential Client
Ours, as you well know, was not a simple project, it involved some very unique engineering and very complex coordination among different expert teams. Without your dedication, your creativity, and your discipline, we would not have had this outcome.
Residential Client
hank you all so much for our wonderful “new” home and for making the project go as smoothly as it could go while finishing on time and on budget. We are extremely grateful and continue to sing your praise to our family and friends.
