We recently completed the construction of our lake home on Squam Lake. ...We had a terrific experience and are delighted with our home. ...
     From our point of view, one of the most important characteristics of a builder is open and honest communication. We were overseeing our construction from long distance. Dale communicated with us several times a week and often sent digital pictures of the progress of the construction. Every time we had a meeting set with Dale he was there and always on time. That is the way our entire project went — we agreed on when something would be done and it was done when agreed — even with a record setting snow season.
     As the project has come to a close there have been the inevitable follow up items. Dale and the subcontractors have been extremely responsive to every question and/or concern we have expressed. This house is the first house we have built from start to finish. We had the best possible experience. ... We highly recommend Twin Oaks Construction to anyone considering a builder for a special home.

      We write this letter with praise and gratitude for our builder, Dale Blackey.  ...  Dale's commitment to perfection is inspiring.  From the beginning, he was always available to meet with us and our architect and guide us through the unfamiliar maze of designing and building our home.
      Dale is always on top of every detail, he is extremely knowledgeable and very willing to share his opinions, his creativity, and ideas until the right solutions are found.
      Dale is devoted to his clients and to those who work for him. We have met many of his present and former clients and every one of them has had nothing but praise for him. His honesty and integrity are the cornerstone of his business and it is evident in every aspect of his work. We trust him implicitly and know that he is always looking out for us.
     We knew from the start that we had chosen the right person for our building project, and because of Dale, we have thoroughly enjoyed this incredible experience.

One of our most capable and sought after colleagues in construction is Dale Blackey of Twin Oaks Construction in Plymouth, NH.  Over the past 20 years, Dale has continually provided us with such
a high level of quality work that together we have created homes that have resulted in several New Hampshire American Institute of Architects (AIA) Awards of Excellence, Merit Awards and the AIA People's Choice Award for 2002 and again in 2009.  Dale is honest, a pleasure to work with, maintains a good relationship with his crews and sub contractors, earns a high level of trust and respect from our clients, is competitive in pricing and makes our job easier by staying on top of the project at all times.

We are always pleased when he is available to be a part of our team. We strongly encourage anyone who is thinking about building or revising their home to consider working with Dale Blackey.

Dale Blackey was introduced to us by our architects, Sonya Misiaszek and Robert Turpin of Misiaszek Turpin Architects  in Laconia, NH. They both highly recommended him as someone who would be capable of building the style of home we were planning.  

At our first meeting, we were impressed with his ability to analyze a situation and come to a succinct and timely conclusion. He was able to answer most of our questions at that first meeting and was quick to respond to any that he felt needed further research. We felt very comfortable with Dale at that meeting and as we worked further with him realized that he was a perfect match for us.

We were very impressed throughout this five year project with his attention to detail, his ability to manage crews (some of which he used on our home for the first time), his ability to schedule crews so that no time is lost in the building process, his ability to work with the architects in on site problem solving, and his ability to manage his clients.  All is done in a "matter of fact" manner, quite professionally, calmly, and always gentlemanly. I think his greatest asset is his gift of total recall.  No "lost notes" with Dale, it is all in his head.  I will, however, mention that his office staff is quite professional and responsive, as well.

I'm sure Dale realized from the outset that we were critical clients.  Nevertheless, he worked untiringly with us to deliver a product on budget and on time and to our complete satisfaction.  And above all, he is great fun to work with.  After those five years of planning and construction, we think of Dale now as a friend and hope the relationship continues beyond the completion of our home.

        Dale Blackey of  Twin Oaks Construction completed the West Bunk House, in Moultonborough, NH, then remodeled the Boathouse to match.  It was a pleasure to work with Dale and his crew. Everyone has a wonderful attitude about the job and you can see great pride in their workmanship. Dale is very organized and keeps great records for tracking the project. His payment applications are among the best I have processed (this part is not glamorous, but it makes my job of verifying the value to the Owner, much easier).
       He and his crew are very talented.  The guys on site have a great deal of respect for Dale and the way he runs his jobs.  They came up with excellent solutions and produce a high quality product.  I find his pricing to be very clear and fair.  He is conscientious about suggesting cost alternatives too.  Everyone was accommodating with last minute changes and worked with us to resolve the coordination issues these changes can present.
       Dale is someone that I have happily recommended to other Architects and clients.  He is one of my favorite Contractors/Builders in the area.  If you want your project to run smoothly and get a beautiful building in the end, you will be happy to work with Dale.

Please accept this letter of recommendation on behalf of Dale Blackey and Twin Oaks Construction, a company we have worked with for over ten years. Twin Oaks Construction is a professional company that is capable of providing knowledge and expertise throughout all phases
of a building construction project.

We have worked with Twin Oaks on numerous residential projects including new construction, renovations, and additions. The size of the projects have ranged from very small renovations, to a
new sixteen-thousand square foot home; with the styles of architecture as varied as their sizes.

Dale and his staff work very hard to meet the goals of the architect and owner on every project.
He is organized, is an excellent communicator, and is always putting his best effort forward.
He expects the same from his employees and sub-contractors.

Prior to construction, Twin Oaks will prepare realistic budget estimates, suggest modifications
to details that will aid in construction, and is a willing participant as a member of the design team. They clearly understand their role, and the roles of the other team members.

During construction, Twin Oaks provides valuable insight into budget and schedule, and works efficiently to achieve all goals. The construction site is always kept clean, orderly, and safe. The quality of the construction is exceptional, and they work hard to tackle any unforeseen circumstances that may arise. The applications for payment are on time, well organized, and complete. Dale is personally involved with each project and communicates with the architects, owners, and superintendants on a regular basis.

After construction, Twin Oaks is there to address any items that may come Up, and to follow
through with suggestions and solutions.

We highly recommend Dale Blackey and Twin Oaks Construction for any construction project. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions, or if we can be of any further assistance.
