As a lot of kids do, I half listened and obtained a degree in mechanical engineering. I started my career in the supervision aspect of commercial construction, but my interest and talent rested in hands-on construction. Coupled with a desire for self-employment, I started my construction company over 20 years ago. I began by helping friends and family with simple everyday household repairs and installations.\u00a0 Word of mouth grew as did my client list.\u00a0 Hundreds of clients, over 2 decades of work later, and I am still at it.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-656df58 e-con-full animated-slow e-flex elementor-invisible e-con e-child\" data-id=\"656df58\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;,&quot;animation_delay&quot;:100}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b86a727 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b86a727\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/malloygc.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_5961-768x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-3937\" alt=\"Dennis Malloy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/malloygc.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_5961-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/malloygc.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_5961-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/malloygc.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_5961-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/malloygc.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_5961.jpg 1512w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ca83b1d e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"ca83b1d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;gradient&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-33cba7e animated-slow elementor-widget-mobile__width-initial elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"33cba7e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:300}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>My consistency and growth can be attributed to a few basic principles.\u00a0 The first is to be nice to the clients.\u00a0 Most new clients are coming from a point of uncertainty. They are unsure who to trust and how to proceed. \u00a0I spend extra time and effort to alleviate those fears and explain the process.\u00a0 Simple, straightforward conversations, save both parties wasted time and energy.<\/p><p>The second principle is a fair price for the project. It takes time and effort to find customers, cultivate relationships, and earn each other\u2019s trust.\u00a0 One of the pillars to establishing that mutual respect is a knowledge that the price being charged is fair and the project will be completed timely. Using this approach, we enjoy repeat clients.\u00a0 We still have active clients from our first year in business.\u00a0 It is easier to maintain an existing client than to find a new one.<\/p><p>Finally, we provide a solid product.\u00a0 I was told, repeatedly, from a young age by my father, \u201cif you are going to do something, do it right.\u201d\u00a0 That directive coupled with my engineering degree aids in delivering superior finished products, while finding solutions to difficult in-progress construction problems. My combination of formal education and hands-on experience provides a unique combination that is used in my day-to-day work. It is always cheaper and faster to do it right the first time.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6c72222 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"6c72222\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fafd2d9 animated-slow elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fafd2d9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInLeft&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:100,&quot;_animation_mobile&quot;:&quot;fadeInLeft&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Be nice to clients. <br \/>Offer a fair price. <br \/>Provide a superior product.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I was a little kid, my father, who was a union elevator constructor, always told me to use my brain instead of my body for work when I grew up.
