TESTIMONIALS

WE ARE PROUD OF THE WORK WE HAVE DONE AND THE PEOPLE WE HAVE DONE IT WITH.

Take a look at what our clients and
partners have to say about us.

Days like today is why I love working for IGEL.

Had an amazing day…. Just wanted to let someone know.

The nature of construction requires workers to trust their colleagues with their safety. Projects often involve complex coordination where one person's work depends directly on another, fostering a "we" rather than "I" mentality.

There is also a deep, shared pride in building something physical and permanent, which strengthens the bond between team members.

Today embodied that. Everyone jumped in.

Your team embodies every bit of what it means to be a family/team.

At times we spend more time with IGEL than we do with our own families. But to be a part of all of this is truly amazing.

I wanted to thank you for allowing me to be a part of your crew.

You see. I’ve worked on all sides of it here at IGEL. Concrete, paving, curb, bidwell, dirt and even in the shop. Yet one thing remains the same all around.

The culture and the feeling of being respected and appreciated.

You guys have an amazing atmosphere and I am grateful.

I’m sure there has been many times that you hear about the negative side of things. I wanted to tell you about the positive.

Well, take care and be safe.

From a grateful teammate

The following is a note from an operator we hired from the union hall in an area where we don’t have many employees. We lead by teaching and by setting expectations, but we’re so grateful to hear our Values are being upheld by our jobsite leadership away from the home office.

I’ve been in this field for 30 years and have worked for a lot of companies. In many places, heavy equipment operators are treated like just a body in a seat, and the environment can be stressful—yelling foremen and very little respect.

My experience with Igel has been the complete opposite. Every foreman I worked with treated me with respect, patience, and professionalism. There was no screaming, no unnecessary pressure, and no sense that anyone was ‘just a number.’ Instead, I felt supported, valued, and trusted to do my job well.

I want to give special thanks to M., who went out of his way to make my time here a positive experience. It truly made a difference. I also want to recognize the company for the way it has evolved in how it treats employees—especially in an industry where that isn’t always the norm.

As a woman in heavy equipment, I come from a time when we were rarely given opportunities to run key pieces of machinery. It meant a lot to see women being included and supported here. That kind of progress matters.

This was my last week with the company, but I sincerely hope to work with Igel again if you return to my district. Thank you all for a great experience—and for reminding me what a respectful workplace looks like.

I am writing this letter in reference to the recently completed Yearsley Road Bridge Project. As the adjacent landowner, I had the opportunity to observe and interact with many of your crew and supervisory personnel on a regular basis. I was very impressed with how they approached every aspect of the project and completely enjoyed all of our interactions. I found everyone to be easily approachable and helpful.

I was most grateful for the care and consideration I received whenever anyone was on my land.

I wish to extend a special thanks to Brad and Jeremy for their onsite skills. I am also particularly grateful to Carlton, Joe, Drew and Cole for all their efforts. With fine team members like these, I suspect you have a very bright future.

Oh, by the way, we also have an awesome new bridge!!

Sincerely,

Adjacent Landowner

To everyone at George J. Igel & Co. Inc.,

I can’t thank you enough for the repairs you made to my lateral line… I feel incredibly fortunate that you agreed to repair my line... When I called Igel, I had already talked with two large companies that had both declined the street job...Shane made no promises, but he established a generous plan and said that he would start investigating what the job would entail.

Shane was honest, candid, direct, and caring… I had almost blind faith that Igel would be able to manage any unpleasant surprises – which they did.

With my background in teaching college English and in nursing, I was far out of my comfort zone. Shane knew it, and he spoke with me with the utmost courtesy, respect, and understanding..

I also had great communication with Chris and the entire crew. Everyone was approachable, friendly and professional. Nate and the whole crew made me feel welcome to ask questions and to check out the progress. I watched how the crew worked together and was impressed with the teamwork and just the good energy out there. I will always feel indebted for the quality and spirit of the crew who did the work.

I know that you are pros at this, that this is “your job”. But you all excelled in so many ways. As you go about your work, I want you always to remember how your approach, generosity, and expertise truly makes the world a better place. You eased my mind more than I can possibly say. Shane and all of you at Igel made me and my life much more sane than it would have been had you not made an exception and taken on my repair. You have clearly built a fabulous company that takes great care of construction projects – and of people.

Mr Igel, .. your project on Woodlane was next to my farm property. I have been in business all my life and have employed people at one time in 33 states . I say that to put into perspective how impressed I have been with all of Igel personnel. from my first contact Jody, who was very thorough and professional, to my last contact Randy, everyone seems not only to fully understand outstanding service but also to always go the extra mile. Everyone I spoke with expressed their love for their job and for their company Igel construction. This job was completed thoroughly, and effectively with no wasted motion...
