"Great work
Gittleman"

By the time Irving Nusbaum sold New York Carpet World in 1994, he had accumulated
a lifetime of lessons in the power of excellent customer service. So when he selected
Gittleman Construction to remodel his home, he looked for the same dedication to
client satisfaction that helped make his carpet retailing enterprise among the most
respected names in the industry.

He wasn't disappointed. "I just can't say enough about Gittleman," Mr. Nusbaum said
"They kept their word in every respect. They estimated our job promptly, began work
immediately and didn't stop until they were finished. There were no hidden cost
add-ons and the quality was outstanding."

Indeed, Gittleman Construction exceeds the highest
expectations. With an emphasis on Function,
Aesthetics and Budget, Gittleman produces total
satisfaction and enduring value for every
assignment.

Just ask Mr. Nusbaum.
