Liliane Gately, President, L&H Construction, Inc.

Robert W. Irvine & Sons, Inc. is certainly a five-star company. I have worked with this firm since 1992. Before 1992, my father’s company worked with this firm on a multitude of various state projects. Over the past 30 years, no matter what plumbing or heating work I required, R.W. Irvine & Sons, Inc. resolved it expediently by very experienced tradesmen. I have never been dissatisfied with the scheduling or workmanship of this firm. I received the same treatment whether it was a large state project or a small private project. All of the personnel in this organization, both office staff and tradesmen, are extremely helpful as their ultimate goal is to have their clients be completely satisfied. Professionally, this company is the only one I contact for plumbing or heating problems. I have never been disappointed by this firm in a 30-year span. They are much more than a five-star organization.

Tyler Bearse, Project Manager, J&J Contractors, Inc.

Our experience with Robert W. Irvine & Sons is nothing but excellent on each project we work with them. Their team player approach toward resolving field issues, planning, and over great attitude makes for an enjoyable project from start to finish. Their field staff are on top of items without being asked, their paperwork comes in quickly without doing any follow up. We appreciate our business partnership with Irvine and look forward to many more years working together.

Brian Santos, President, W.T. Rich Company, Inc.

Working with Robert W. Irvine & Sons has always been a uniquely positive experience as witnessed on dozens of projects over the past 20+ years. Throughout each project, they consistently demonstrate a superior knowledge of mechanical systems, organized general management, and excellent safety practices; simply put they are true professionals within their craft. I found the best qualities I appreciate most in a subcontractor: open communication, honesty, and cooperation. As a result, very difficult and complex projects are completed on time and within owner budgeted costs.

Patrick DeIulis, DeIulis Brothers Construction

Robert Irvine & Sons has been a valued partner of DeIulis Brothers Construction since the mid-1970’s, bound by our shared values and origins. Our fathers were hardworking and industrious, starting their own businesses with young families to raise. Their paths crossed and bonds were formed through a mutuality of respect and trust. Their work ethic and integrity were instilled in their sons, who were raised in the business from their early teens, learning firsthand the sacrifices necessary in a family enterprise. Now, some 50 years later, our third generation Lynn businesses are still linked. In our industry, we can’t always have our choice on who to work with; however, Robert Irvine & Sons is always on our shortlist of who we want to work with.

Brian McGinley, Vice President, WCI Corporation

Robert W. Irvine & Sons Inc. has performed plumbing work for WCI Corporation for more than 25 years, on both publicly-bid projects as well as for our own commercial construction and properties that we manage. They have the resources of a large plumbing contractor, yet Mark Irvine will always take a phone call or respond to an email if you need him. Robert W. Irvine & Sons has plumbers whom have been with the company for decades, in some cases, and they have an excellent reputation in the industry; all to say they’re doing it right.

Collins Construction Co., Inc. has had the opportunity to have a long-standing relationship with Robert W. Irvine & Sons Inc. Irvine is a family company that shows strong stakeholder values. They work great as part of a Team on both Public and Private projects, showing knowledge and experience of the trade and the business. My father had the opportunity to work with the Irvine’s when Mark Sr. and himself were “cutting their teeth” in their respective family business’. My father always spoke very highly of the Irvine’s and felt a sense of relief when the Irvine’s were on the job. My admiration for Mark Sr. has only continued to grow as not only has he cultivated an organization that is bringing the next generation of Irvine’s in the door, but also continues to provide projects with knowledgeable foreman who understand the complexities of todays construction schedules as well as the intricacies of their own trade. The Irvine’s understand construction documents, schedules, and the need for integrity, doing the right thing even when no one is watching. I’m excited to see what the future holds for the next generation of Irvine’s and look forward to the work we will accomplish in the future together.
