“I have been working with Will Dean for several months now and have found him to be very professional, thorough and detailed in the performance of his job and work.  He is willing to take that “extra” step if need be to ensure that the customer (in this case Reston Bible Church) is being fully serviced and that our needs are being met.  He is definitely an asset to Calvert Jones and reflects the qualities that I know you want your service technicians to display.  Please let him know that he is appreciated.”

"I want to take this opportunity to send a special thank you to Chris Hankins and his crew of professionals. Chris took a ball that had been rather severely dropped, and ran with it to outstanding success. His personal efforts, along with those of his staff, allowed us to have air conditioning in the Sanctuary ahead of schedule. From the beginning of his involvement until the completion, our comfort and satisfaction were his chief concern and focus. Everyone is pleased; the air conditioning system is working great; and his guys made it happen...super effort."

"I have been working with Tommy Jordan on replacing our HVAC system since approx. October 2007. I just wanted to write and thank Calvert-Jones for the professional work we have experienced on this project. Eric Leese, Greg Miller, Danny Jones, and Sal Leonetti worked on this project. The BB&T employees in this facility extend a big thank you to this team for all of their efforts in doing such a great job in identifying themselves when they came into the building; working around all of the employees to accomplish this project during normal business hours; maintaining a professional manner and attitude each day, kept the work site clean and neat and not leaving the equipment and materials everywhere; completing the project on time and within budget and just in general working hard to accomplish and meet our goals. Having a dependable project manager and team from Calvert-Jones makes my job easier as a Facilities Resource Manager for BB&T. I would also like to add that Calvert-Jones took over the preventative maintenance and I have been impressed with your service team in communicating with me on service issues and identifying equipment that needed to be replaced. I look forward to working with your Calvert-Jones team in the future."

"I welcome the opportunity to highly recommend Calvert-Jones to any other developer or another project with our company. I also want to give thanks to Calvert-Jones for their inordinate drive to succeed and a tremendous work ethic displayed while working through a difficult project. Calvert-Jones has effectively communicated and solved problems associated with this project. You and Calvert-Jones have proven to be competent, capable and willing to do whatever is necessary to complete the project."

"I feel compelled to offer my sincere appreciation for the outstanding performance of James and Jimmy Burdette during a recent job at Mount Daniel Elementary School. You'll remember the job as one that involved some pipe work, cutting, welding, basically reengineering and fabricating a return line manifold for a three pump system. Not a big job, and not too complicated at first glance, but tricky enough to require careful measuring, forethought and attention to detail. I think the attention to detail impressed me the most. It soon became obvious to me that in Team Burdette, I was working with a couple of men who cared deeply about the quality of their work. That is a very admirable trait, which is always nice to see. The job was completed in a timely fashion, and looks great. I was pleased to find the boiler room actually cleaner than it was when they started, in my opinion, the hallmark of a professional."

"As an employee of Carrier for over 10 years, I have dealt with Calvert-Jones on several projects over the years. The level of professionalism and service they give displays their true dedication to their customers and vendors. Their dedicated team of professional employees truly does make a difference in every project. I know when I work with them on a project; the job will get done and above all, done right. They take the time to find out what each of their clients needs are and deliver fast, satisfying results. I want to congratulate each and every one of you in celebrating your 60th anniversary. It's a pleasure to work with all the team members in the company and look forward to many more years of serving your HVAC needs."

"I have had the pleasure of working with Calvert-Jones for the past 25 years on commercial heat, air condition, mechanical, plumbing, and water treatment services. I have used their services in new construction, renovations, and project up fit throughout the Washington DC metro area. They have provided support for basic building systems up to sophisticated mission/business critical systems. Calvert Jones has performed installations to design specification, as well as providing design engineered installation. They have access to many supply and equipment resources with tremendous purchasing abilities. They have provided services ranging from on call service repairs to full service maintenance contracts. Besides providing building system service and support, Calvert-Jones has also offered presentations, and mini-seminars on products and equipment, along with introductions to new technology and energy saving equipment. Calvert-Jones has always performed to the highest standards in the property management and construction fields."

"Although the relationship between Calvert-Jones and DMR started back in 1969, my personal experience didn’t begin until 20 years ago, back in 1987.  When the Mark turned your account over to me he said Calvert-Jones would be one of the best customers I’d ever have.  He was absolutely right.  Over the years Calvert-Jones has grown, but the core values of the company have remained unchanged – you remain dedicated to the highest standards of quality, honesty & integrity.  Although some of the faces have changed, the way you do business has not. Under the best of conditions construction projects can be complicated. Over the years we have worked together on many projects that were far from the best of conditions.  Calvert-Jones seems to have a knack for those very complicated, critical space, 24/7 operation projects.  Those ugly retrofit projects that seem impossible.  It is a testament to your company and your employees that so many of your customers hire you to do these difficult projects again and again. I have thoroughly enjoyed having you all at Calvert-Jones as customers and as friends and look forward to the years to come."

"I cannot say enough good things about Calvert-Jones. It has been my privilege, for the last 25 years, to have a satisfying and rewarding business relationship with you and the employees of Calvert-Jones. I have been personally and professionally inspired by you and your employees. You have developed a creative, passionate, and highly motivated team of employees at Calvert Jones, and each individual is equipped with solid techniques and skills. Calvert-Jones and it's employees have an energy expertise, along with a willingness to share examples and experiences from their professional and personal life, which makes an outstanding company. You have created a truly unique company and should be profoundly proud of your accomplishments as a successful team. Greatness starts at the top, and you are a fine example of this adage. I feel blessed to have shared such a dynamic past relationship and look forward to many more years with Calvert-Jones. I personally consider Calvert-Jones as the finest mechanical contractor in the Washington Metropolitan area. Keep up the great work!"

Richard Shafer

President, Havtech Corporation 

"Twelve years ago Calvert-Jones took a chance and awarded Fairfax Insulation our first job. Since that time we have grown into one of the best recognized insulation contractors in the DC Metropolitan area. That has been made possible, in part by your continued support and tutorship. It takes the "best" to create the "best". Your company is, without compromise, the absolute best mechanical contractor that a sub-contractor could wish to work with. We have never been treated with anything other than fairness and respect. Fairness is not completely accurate; "excellent" would be a better adjective. From your entire office staff, to every individual field hand, we applaud your willingness to "work together" with your subs. Your willingness to "work together" is what creates the "team spirit" that helps your company and mine to accomplish unrenowned quality driven projects. We have grown accustomed to being an integral part of some very sophisticated and complicated construction projects, while at the same time never taking for granted the trust for professional and quality results that you have bestowed upon us. Most of your employees and our employees are on a first name basis. That in itself reflects the "family" culture that we both try to promote within our businesses. Thank you for including us as a part of your "family" of contractors. We will do our utmost to continue to produce the quality results of each and every project that your company has become known and renowned for. It is our pleasure to work for you."

Stephen Fye

President, Fairfax Insulation 

"I have been associated with Calvert Jones for some seven (7) years as a business associate and now as a benefit provider. Over the seven years I have become very familiar with the leadership team at Calvert Jones. I have found this team to be one of the few leadership teams in any business that supports and implements their mission statement. Not only do they provide service that exceeds customers’ expectation, they do it through caring about their employees. The key to any business success is to exceed customers’ expectation and maintain high employee morale. Calvert Jones does this each and every day. This is not an easy task in such a large corporation. This is not an easy task in today’s environment. It takes hard work and a strenuous effort. Well, the leadership team at Calvert Jones know about hard work and knows that this is the ingredient for success. I trust Calvert Jones and highly recommend them."

"As a product rep handling dozens of projects at the same time, the best compliments I can give a contractor is that they are fair and easy to work with. Calvert Jones is the perfect example - their project managers make my job easier, and more enjoyable. They take the time to 'sweat the details', and it shows not only in the quality of their projects but also in their relationships with their clients and vendors. I have worked with them on a wide variety of projects, including hospitals, schools, office buildings and churches. Their PM's and install team have the experience to spot potential problems before they begin, and they work towards solutions instead of looking to point fingers."

"I am writing to thank Calvert Jones for all of its help in resolving the many outstanding issues at the Belle Haven Country Club project. It was a pleasure to work with your team on this unique and challenging building.  The ability of Calvert Jones personnel to quickly review, diagnose, propose solutions, and ultimately execute the work was greatly appreciated by the club construction committee and club membership. I look forward to working with you again in the future and would be happy to recommend Calvert Jones to any of my future clients."

"This letter is to let you know how much I have enjoyed our professional relationship on many projects we have worked together on in the last 35 years. We have worked on schools, office buildings, churches and many other types of projects. Your staff has been most professional during the construction period. I have spoken with the clients where you have completed the installations and provided excellent service after the installations were completed. It has been a pleasure working with your company for all those years and I want to wish you good luck in the future. I am certain we will work on many more projects together in the future."

"As a member of the Corporate Advisory Council of Rebuilding Together, Montgomery County, I am writing this to personally thank you for your company’s support this year in our Rebuilding Together project. Calvert Jones was an influential leader throughout the entire project. In fact, we could not have succeeded without the generous support in this year’s projects. I would also ask you to convey my sincere thanks to all of those other people in your company who contributed in any way to Rebuilding Together. Please tell them that the sum of their work resulted in major success that they should all be proud taking part in. Your company’s participation in this effort has set a new standard for social responsibility in this community and has set a powerful example that will inspire other companies and organizations to do the same. Hopefully, I look forward to your support at next year’s Rebuilding Together projects."

"I am not sure of the first project we worked on together, nor the calendar year, but Calvert-Jones Company and Chamberlain Construction Corporation have been working together for a very long time. We have completed public and private school projects, communication central offices, video conferencing centers, churches, office buildings, doctor and dentist suites, and many, many more projects of all shapes and sizes. Designed or design-build, we have teamed with architects, engineers, and owners throughout the Metropolitan area. Our companies have evolved over the years in many ways, but our primary philosophy to provide our clients with a quality project has never changed. Calvert-Jones Company throughout the years and projects, has always provided us experienced, motivated personnel, from your management team to your field technicians. In all phases of our work, your team has always provided professionalism and complete awareness of the owners needs mechanically, the projects full scope work and time schedules, safety requirements, and budget constraints. We at Chamberlain Construction Corporation appreciate Calvert-Jones Company, and will continue to work with, and rely on your team for future mechanical contracting needs."

"I have worked with the Calvert-Jones Company's Special Projects Team for the last several years on a variety of projects for Stafford County Public Schools and Stafford County Government. Most of these projects have been complex, sensitive renovations with aggressive schedules in the public school environment. While working in this environment safety, quality, schedule and professionalism cannot be compromised. In all of these projects, my experience with Calvert-Jones has been positive. The Special Projects Team management and field supervision personnel are not only knowledgeable in the technical aspects of mechanical construction, but cooperative and reliable, allowing Centennial to count on them to get the job done. The Calvert-Jones company demonstrates a philosophy of looking our for the Owner's best interests in the quality, pricing, and production of their work. We are proud of the working relationship with Calvert-Jones and would be happy to recommend them for future projects and clients."

"I am writing on behalf of the captioned entity and my affiliation/experience with them.  I have worked with Calvert-Jones for over 5 years, and my experience overall has been nothing but extraordinary. I would without hesitation recommend this firm to anyone interested in their services.  In our area, Calvert-Jones is the preeminent commercial/residential HVAC contractor, and after working with them for 5 years, I now know why. I look forward to my own continued, long term association with these fine folks.  Please contact me for any further discussion necessary, I would be glad to assist."

"Calvert Jones work at INOVA Health System for the past 20 years can only be described as exemplary. They have never failed. As Director of Facilities Development, it has been my pleasure to have worked with CJ on hundreds of construction projects totaling over $1 billion. I know with 100% confidence when Calvert is on the job, the mechanical work will be top quality, on schedule, and on budget. It makes my job much easier. The CJ team at Inova led by Don Ripley and John Fitzgerald is the best in the business. They are without fail highly responsive, pro-active, highly skilled, dedicated, and do whatever it takes to get the job done."

Randy Hart

Director Inova Facilities Development   

"After over 21 years of excelling service, I have to confess I have never thanked Calvert-Jones properly for the many (hundreds) of complex projects we have completed together. Working in a "zero tolerance" industry such as health care, defines the companies that grow and prosper in that environment. Calvert-Jones is such a company; safety, quality control, best values, strong relationships, all define the people, managers and tradesmen that have worked tirelessly through some of the most difficult and challenging projects anyone could imagine. Through them all, I have come to trust and depend on the professional members of the Calvert-Jones team. When you are first admitting critical patients, dependent on life support or beginning a surgical procedure, hoping that the medical gasses are installed correctly is not an option. Negative pressurization for a bone marrow transplant patient is critical for their survival. A premature infant in a Neonatal Unit needs pure, clean oxygen in their moments of life. These are a few examples of how important the work is that Calvert-Jones does on a daily bases. Specializing in Health Care and Sensitive Environments requires the "best of the best" and I can count on Calvert-Jones to be the best."

Brian Knepper

"It has been a pleasure working with Calvert Jones and a delight meeting with you. From my first experience with your company and ongoing, Calvert Jones has exceeded my expectations. My initial contact was with Steve Craig, who was respectful, professional and courteous. He kept me updated as to his findings and provided clear explanations. He communicated the follow-up plan to me and the next team returned on the day promised. That next team included Tom Jackson and Will Dean. They also were respectful, professional and courteous. As with Steve, they kept me updated on the status of the job. When the job was completed, Steve came to my office to deliver the written final detail and offered to answer any questions I might have. At that time he also furnished me with your phone number so I would be able to set up a meeting with you. Steve knew I was concerned about maintaining our older unit. Please say hello and offer my gratitude to each of these gentleman. I look forward to a long relationship with your company."

"I just wanted to share a note in the beginning of this new year with you expressing my great satisfaction with the performance of two of your employees. It is not that I am someone who singles out people, but I am someone who does business with people not with a name of a company. Dave Korompay is not only an experienced technician but he manages his co-workers very well that myself, my client and my buildings benefit from his performance. Kathy Miller is who I call in the service department. On every item I call her about, she either answers my question, resolves the issue or puts me in direct contact with the person who ultimately will address the issue. I very much appreciate her efficiency. For many years I have been working on various projects with Dave and Kathy and there professionalism and customer service have met or exceeded my expectations."

"I have personally worked with the Calvert-Jones Company for over six years on eleven different projects managed by Turner for Inova Health System. Many of those projects have been complicated with aggressive schedules and sensitive renovations in an occupied hospital environment. In all of those projects, my experience with Calvert-Jones has been positive. Their management and field supervision personnel are not only knowledgeable in the technical aspects of mechanical construction, but cooperative and reliable, allowing Turner to count on them to get the job done. The Calvert-Jones Superintendent is a great asset to Turner in driving the projects forward to meet schedule requirements. The Calvert-Jones Company demonstrates a philosophy of looking out for the Owner's best interests in the quality, pricing, and production of their work. We are proud of the working relationship with them and would be happy to recommend them for future projects.
