Ready Set Play!
“This was all new to me and a project like this was new for them, too, but their level of organization and responsiveness made it easy. I plan on opening several indoor playgrounds and I’ve already discussed working together with them again on the next one.”
– Jason Green
Mountaineer Recovery Center
“We chose Minghini’s for their strong reputation and involvement in the community. And they exceeded their reputation. They were very collaborative and worked with our architect and design team from initial blueprint development, through construction, all the way to the ribbon cutting. The highlight of working with Minghini’s was the relationship of trust. They proved to be reliable, time sensitive, and punctual in getting things done. Their integrity was impeccable. Additionally, Craig and Morgan communicated their expertise in a way that enabled us to understand the process and the costs associated with it. A building of this nature and size can be very stressful, but Craig, Berniece and Morgan made it very easy. I would highly recommend them for any commercial projects.”
– Dr. Jonathan Hartiens
AlSaleh Dental Center
“The overall experience of working with Minghini’s was fantastic. Their highly professional staff had great communication and listened closely to our input and concerns while building our new dental office building. We chose to work with them on recommendations from the community and for their experience. They made sure to get the job done right! Our facility still looks and feels brand new even 5 years later because of the quality of their work.”
– Dr. Hani AlSaleh
Crossroads Church
“Minghini’s helped us turn a movie theater into a place of community, hope, and healing. The experience of working with them proved them to be integrity-filled, customer-minded, and value-focused. They saved us money where they could, even if it was a little sacrificial on their end, because they’ve been called to serve the city; they’re in it for the people. Some rebuild lives, some rebuild buildings— all are in it for the same reason, which is to make the community a better place.”
– Pastor Derick Amsler
Devil’s Due Distillery
“We interviewed several general contractors and went with Minghini’s because their price matches the superior quality of their work. The team was spectacular to work with. I was there every day during construction and everyone on their team was top-notch. Jacob Collis, in particular, was highly professional throughout the process. One of the biggest things is that he answers the phone when I call—and I call a lot! You don’t often get that with a contractor. These guys will take care of you and I recommend them to everyone that I meet. The next time we build, it will be with Minghini’s.”
-Wylie McDade, Owner
Shenandoah Village Apartments
“Just a note to say ‘Thank you’. Your crew did a great job with the installation of the new mailboxes. I understand that you will be sending an additional crew to paint the trim around the boxes. Did we decide on a color? More than likely, whatever color you have picked will be fine. Thanks Again, we appreciate you!”
– Lisa Melcher, Manager
Blairton Church
“On behalf of the members of Blairton Church, I would like to thank you for answering our prayers. Our bell tower has been leaking for many years and we have had difficulty finding a contractor who would fix it. We feel that your planning went beyond the mere construction of the roof and into maintaining the character of Blairton Church.”
– Ron and Arlyce Woodward

Helen Martin, Homeowner
“Even though residential remodeling isn’t the main part of Minghini’s business, over the years I’ve always called them when I need something major or minor done to my home. Why? They go out of their way to do a good job and treat me like one of their big clients. Minghini’s workers are polite and so neat that you can’t tell that they’ve been there when they’re through.”
Frederick Business Properties
“From pre-construction planning to post-construction follow through, Minghini’s is thorough and does the job right…the first time and on time. I also find them to be very competitively priced.”
– Mike Kelley, President
EconoLodge
“Craig Collis is top-notch in my book, and he’s as honest as the day is long. I trust Minghini’s for a fair bid and work completed on schedule at the price quoted. I’ve never had one problem with Minghini’s and find the employees are friendly and as good to work with as the management.”

“I am really at a loss for the right words to tell you how much we love our new addition and how much we appreciate the quality of your work.

We also want to thank all your guys who came and worked so diligently on our addition. They were skillful, professional, polite and very helpful to us. In closing, we thank you so much for taking us on and providing us with this wonderful new addition that will allow us to stay in our home for many years to come!”

– Terry Stone, AIA
Jefferson County Commission
“It’s been a pleasure working with Minghini’s. Their service is exemplary, far above the call of duty. For example, at 1 a.m. in the morning, the night of the recent windstorm, in which 1 million of West Virginians lost their power including 50 percent of Jefferson County residents, I ran into Minghini’s construction crew. They had heard there were bricks on the ground and came out to check on the project and the scaffolding and to see if I needed help with anything. I was glad to have them help me with the roof situation, but just their being there shows the commitment of the firm to quality work and service. I was impressed. You don’t see that kind of thing every day.”
– Bill Polk, Maintenance Director
Quality Production Construction, Inc
“I would give Minghini’s a rating of ‘10’ on a 10-point scale. They are easy to get along with and we had a good understanding because they are ‘Old School’ like my company, meaning an experienced commercial contractor with great problemsolving skills and impeccable values. They have been around a long time and know what it means to work in the trenches on all types of commercial projects.”
– Lyle S. Firnhaber, President
City of Martinsburg, WV
“I just wanted to take a minute to thank Minghinis for the great job your staff did with the construction of the garage addition for the City of Martinsburg Public Works Department.

Again I wanted to thank your entire staff for their hard work on completing this project that will benefit the City of Martinsburg for many years. I look forward to working with you again in the future.”
– Jeff Wilkerson, Public Works Director
