John and Jim,
I am writing this letter to let you know that I am moving on in a pursuit of a new opportunity and I wanted to express my gratitude for your support during my time with Konica.
By depending on the services of McGowan we were able to streamline our local services for a reasonable cost and at a critical economic juncture we maintained momentum and continuity. Thank you so much for all the great projects we were involved in together from the concrete work, asphalt paving work, retaining walls, drainage projects and many others. I cannot thank you enough for your quality work and helpful advice.
If you ever need a recommendation please do not hesitate to use my name. When construction projects come up in my new position I will be sure to call McGowan first.
Commercial Project
John, I wanted to thank you for taking the time to meet with me last week. I truly appreciated your creative ideas on how to significantly reduce some of the maintenance costs associated with our plant in Glen Head, NY.
It is the choice of vendors like McGowan that helped Halm Industries become a world leader in envelope printing equipment. While Halm Industries pursued global presence and success, McGowan helped maintain our local plant’s infrastructure seamlessly. Please accept our gratitude for the 28 years of reliable, on time and always within budget projects and we look forward to your continued support.
We will provide the management team with your ideas to reduce maintenance costs and get in touch soon.
Steve Lyon
P.S. I also wanted you to know that the retaining wall and drainage project completely solved the problem with the floods.

“Dear Jim, John, and Company,
Today, as we continue the tradition of one of the most respected funeral homes on Long Island, we wanted to extend our appreciation for your continued support.
Specifically, the latest renovation project completed by John McGowan & Sons entirely resolved potential tripping accidents on our property. We cannot thank you enough for the perfect recommendation in the choice of the stone — it truly complements our entire atmosphere.
And as always, thank you for getting it all done on time and at very reasonable rates.
It is time to have our parking lot sealed, so please give us a call when you can schedule this job.”

“I’m the President of an HOA in Bohemia, NY and a retired Union General Labor Foreman in NYC and on Long Island. Over my 40+ year career, I’ve worked with many contractors — and hands down, John McGowan & Sons is one of the best I’ve had the pleasure to work with.
They handled our complex’s street replacement project with absolute professionalism. From James, John, Eileen, and Jessica to the extraordinary group of hardworking men they employ — their professionalism, knowledge, experience, and courteous manner truly stood out.
This company will get your project done in a timely fashion and on schedule, no matter what it takes — and that’s exactly what I experienced.
If you want a great company to handle your project, no matter how small or large, you definitely want JOHN McGOWAN & SONS to do it!!!!”
HOA Road Improvement Project
“J. McGowan just completed a beautiful improvement on our small private lane on the North Shore of Long Island. The shared private road was in poor disrepair, and with McGowan’s expertise and easy lead time, the job came out gorgeous. All resident neighbors were very happy with the result.
The office staff was always responsive and considerate, and the workers on the job were polite and kept the job site neat and clean. The pricing was also very good compared to other bids we received.
I highly recommend this paving contractor.”
HOA Road Improvement Project
“John and his team did a great job replacing our old retaining wall, stairs, extending our front porch, and repaving our driveway at our home on the North Shore of Long Island.
John McGowan & Sons were recommended by a friend in the neighborhood after seeing the beautiful work they had done at their home. A job that I thought would take weeks was done in just 10 days — start to finish.
When we thought there might be an issue with an old tree being in the way, John had someone take it down the same day so his crew could keep working. When we suspected a potential problem with the water main, he had his plumber there immediately to ensure no damage would occur. And when our outdoor light stopped working, his electrician showed up within the hour to reconnect it.
They really went above and beyond to get the job done right, on time, and at the exact price quoted.
I highly recommend John McGowan & Sons to anyone looking for professional masonry work.”
Residential Project
“We recently had our driveway redone by McGowan & Sons, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Jim and his team removed our old driveway and installed a brand new one — and it looks fantastic.
The whole process was smooth, quick, and professional. Jim kept us well informed at every step, which really made things easy. The crew was efficient, courteous, and clearly experienced.
The finished product is clean, polished, and exactly what we were hoping for. You can tell they take pride in doing a thorough job. We’re really happy with how it turned out and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend McGowan & Sons to anyone looking for quality driveway work.”
