Past Clients

At Ideal Co. Inc. we enjoy the relationships of several clients that we have worked with for many years. We realize that good company growth comes from this kind of relationship, and we put our effort into keeping and maintaining these associations. These are a few things our clients have said about us-

James Bauman – Executive Vice President - Architrend Associates

“Over the past eight years it has been my privilege to work with The Ideal Company on many successful commercial building projects ranging from restaurants to office and medical buildings. The Ideal Company has a professional staff of experienced project managers, estimators, and tradesmen who have always shown good character and integrity in conducting their business. We have been very impressed with their commitment to quality workmanship and ability to meet construction schedules. We hold the Ideal Company in high regard and recommend them first to our clients.”

Chris Holt - Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc.

“Due to our past experience with The Ideal Company, I feel obligated to expound upon my personal experience. The Ideal Company has been key team member of the Cracker Barrel construction program for over fifteen years. Ideal has built a reputation in our program due to meeting dead lines in spite of adverse conditions. In my experience, Ideal has sought to manage subcontractors effectively and fairly. In my opinion, The Ideal Company Inc. will prove to be a key member of any construction program, as they conduct their business in a fair and upright manner. I would highly recommend them to other clients.”

Ted Tillman - Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc.

“F & M Contractors conduct themselves as professionals, provide quality on-site supervision and have, without fail, been responsive to our needs. The quality of work the company accomplishes has been commendable. They have been most accommodating to our needs and strive to minimize business disruptions. I highly recommend F & M Contractors for any projects that you may be planning. They are indeed an excellent General Contractor.”

Todd Gindelberger – Vice President - E. Lynn App Architects Inc.

“We have finished the Englewood United Methodist Church Sanctuary and Kettering Medical Center Springboro Primary Care Center using The Ideal Company, Inc. for the construction. The successful completion of these projects was largely due to the excellent management and their staff. I found them to possess upstanding moral character, business ethics and honesty.”

Webster Smyers – Chairman, Board of Trustees - Englewood United Methodist Church

“Now that we have had a couple of months to work out the bugs and settle into our new Worship Center, on behalf of the Trustees, we want to thank you for such beautiful results. Your patience working with us as we labored to maximize the utility of the worship area as well as enhancing our worship experience has been handsomely achieved and has turned out beyond our expectations.”

John J. McKeon – Executive Vice President - GZK Restaurant Systems

“We have had dealings with a number of general contractors. It was readily apparent during and upon completion of the first location constructed for us by F & M Contractors, we had found a top notch no nonsense organization. We were greatly impressed by the personal attention to detail given not only the first job, but also in the subsequent projects their company has been involved in. Their unquestionable personal integrity flows throughout their organization. Their staff is impeccable.

It is a pleasure doing business with a contractor that is honest, cooperative, shows great attention to detail, is helpful with ideas and suggestions and never lost sight of the goal of completing the job in the most efficient time frame possible. The workmanship is excellent, not only in regards to the building, but also in the detail of the site. What few warranty claims arise are handled immediately and without question as to fault. Contractual amounts are not exceeded and are competitive.

F & M contractors has continued to be our contractor of choice.”

Larry Zusman – Realtor Developer

“There is no one that we know as a contractor who we’ve had more experience with than you in terms of competency, ability and integrity. In all our dealings of the 20 years or longer, we can unequivocally say we have always had nothing but very positive feelings for you and all your building for us.”

William M. Cantieri - Max & Erma’s Restaurants, Inc.

“Max & Erma’s Development Department is more pleased with F & M than anyone else we have ever worked with.

There has historically been very few warranty calls on any of the buildings that you built, and when there are problems, they are handled more quickly than with any other GC we use. Your change orders are always very fair and are consistently less expensive than change orders from GC’s building similar projects. Our operations personnel are highly please with the attitude, friendliness and professionalism of your superintendents. Godly values and integrity seem to be a part of every person in your organization and I would recommend F & M to any restaurant chain without reservation.”

Ronald E. Musick - Columbus, OH

“This letter and one hundred pages hence could not express the overpowering experience I receive upon approaching the Chapel. It is beyond all my mind could ever envision. I thank all of you and all the expert craftsmanship that made this happen.”

Charles Henger - Chairman Board of Trustees - Vandalia United Methodist Church

“On behalf our the congregation of the Vandalia United Methodist Church and the VUMC Board of Trustees, we would like you to know how pleased we are with the renovation of our church sanctuary.

The hard work and exceptional talent exhibited is quite evident in the completed product of our beautiful sanctuary. Their dedication to a “job well done” is an indication to us that wise decisions were made in contracting with your organization to do this job.”
