customer spotlight
I have been in the multi-family industry for over 20 years. I am always impressed with Eastern's turn-around time on bids. It seems the answer is always "yes we can", no matter what I ask. This comes in handy in our business and not every company will do this. Their pricing is always competitive and consistent, and they know how to do a variety of jobs, which is great. They are a valued contractor and we enjoy working with Eastern Construction... THEY are the good guys!
