Ackard Contractors

I have worked for Ackard for almost 24 years and I’m about to retire.  I started as a finishing carpenter and service technician. Over the years I was given the opportunity to advance to be a lead hand and then a site super and eventually the service and warranty manager and quality control. Ackard has been a great place to work. Ackard invested in many training courses over the years for me to develop in being able to service and trouble shoot issues that arise in the everchanging development of housebuilding science. Ackard is great place to advance your career in any aspect of construction , sales, design, or management of residential construction. Ackard invests in educating and training their employees so you can truly become a master of their craft, so you can excel at delivering the highest quality product. I am moving into retirement but I would encourage anyone looking for a challenging and rewarding career in any aspect of residential renovation and construction to choose Ackard as a career choice.

Great place to work! Like most companies, they have their ups and downs, but they really do try to continuously improve their processes, morale and culture by paying attention to employee feedback and making changes.  The entire team buys in to the end goal of providing a high end product and delivering results to their customers. Between their successful past and their continued growth and development, the future looks very bright ahead. While COVID has really impacted the public in general and many small businesses, Ackard management has really worked hard to get through it and keep their staff safe, busy and employed. COVID has taken away from the culture by restricting social gatherings (lunches, meetings, events, etc.) but they are still managing to keep everyone connected and informed.

Here's the thing, no company and no role is perfect. You won't always like your job or the company, but what's important is the coworkers and leadership team and I can say after having many years of experience in Human Resources that Ackard presently has the best, most cohesive, engaged team from the top down.  

What you do here is appreciated by both clients and leadership. The partners/owners truly strive to improve themselves and the company every day by regularly asking for feedback then making targeted and planned improvements based on that feedback. They truly are creating an environment that people WANT to stay at long term. 

It is a shame that not all of Ackard's project can be showcased. The complexity of their body of work is what makes Ackard stand out above any and all other renovation contractor. They have a proven track record and a customer loyalty and repetition like no other. They have the ability to turn a dream or an idea into reality. Renovations is not for the narrow minded individual. It really is a "think outside the box" type of approach with every team member across the board. I've been here for quiet some time now and I've witnessed some award winning, amazing, mind blowing transformations.  Quality and a set of strong core values is what sets Ackard apart. 

This is a place where management truly cares about their employees and their families. Throughout this COVID crisis they have had to make tough decisions and have done everything they can to preserve jobs, maintain ongoing communication and group benefits for those who were laid off.

Before COVID, we ate lunches together and engaged in social events together at and outside of work. These are missed in this time, but will return once the COVID crisis passes.

If you want to work for a place where you are not just a number, a place with heart, talent, a sense of family and belonging, then Ackard is for you.

I have been with the company for 5 years and in that time have gained a plethora of knowledge in building and design. The work environment is fast paced and I have always learned something from each project, big or small, which has allowed me to grow in my profession. Our projects are diverse and it is especially rewarding to see a project from the conceptual stage to fruition. What I value most about working at Ackard Contractors, is that I have the opportunity to do what I love everyday, and includes working with some of the greatest creative minds in our industry and an amazing production team. 

Ackard is a team environment! I am a lead hand/supervisor and I can say from my personal experience that people who care about quality,  getting things done, and about succeeding as a team/company you will be rewarded. Management is supportive, approachable, and understand work/life balance. The pay is at or above industry standard, the benefits are good and there are many perks as well.
Plenty of room for growth for anyone with the desire for success. A large variety of projects to keep you challenged and learning. 

Fast-paced environment with a variety of cool and unique projects always on the go.  Friendly staff culture with a great work-life balance - definitely feel like part of the family and not just a number.  Always a lot of work to do but rarely ever any overtime required or expected.  Enjoy the opportunity to learn from so many talented minds with so much experience.  Very fulfilling feeling to be part of this award winning team!

I have had a lot of great opportunities to work on fun projects and to advance my managerial skill set. There has been some ups and downs with the company, however in the years I have been there I have seen them actively correct issues with communication and blueprints. Everyone is also very friendly in this company which makes it an easy place to work. 

They expect you to always be faster to get the job done on time. The communication with the office and field is poor. It makes it hard to get answers. There is no foresight into potential problems on the job site. Try to cut corners instead of doing things properly just to stay on time and on budget. Expect employees to do more and take on more responsibility with no increase in wages to compensate.
