“On behalf of Harvard Law School, I would like to sincerely thank you for all your hard work and exemplary performance during the Historic House Moves in Cambridge this summer.

We truly appreciate the attention, experience, and dedication you brought to this team and to this very complicated project moving three buildings down the busiest street in Cambridge. You handled the pressures and the media attention very professionally, and amazed the community with your abilities along the way.

Once again, thank you for being part of this historic moment for Harvard Law School. We look forward to working with you in Phase 2 of this project.”

 -Mark R. Johnson, Director of Major Capital Projects and Physical Planning

 "We wanted to send your company a letter formally thanking you for a truly excellent job moving the Baker, Ukrainian, and Carriage Houses at Harvard Law School.

This project was a tremendous logistical challenge and your company executed it flawlessly, exceeding the expectations of Shawmut Design and Construction, the University, and the City of Cambridge. Not to mention the 1,000 or so on-lookers and media coverage. Three historic woo-framed buildings moved early on a Saturday morning along Cambridge's main artery, all before most people even got out of bed.

Speaking for Shawmut, I know who we will call next time we have a project that involves moving a building."

 -Chris Semlies, Senior Project Manager

As the Owner's Representative, we were held responsible for coordinating the team that would perform this project for Harvard Law School. You were the right person for this project and were instrumental to its success. Your ability to move the tree historic houses down Massachusetts Avenue flawlessly was the defining moment for the project.

We appreciate the dedication you brought to this very complicated effort."

-Enzo G. Scalora, Principal

“The plan to move the homes required extensive coordination between the major utilities, the Town and Guy Davis and his staff. The move necessitated dropping all of the utility lines as the parade of homes made its way down Montauk Highway a distance of three miles to Town Hall. Guy Davis also moved the historic Amagansett Life Saving Station to its original location, as well as a number of other historic homes that were donated to local historical societies.

Davis Construction Building Movers cooperated with all other parties in a timely and professional manner. Guy Davis and his staff were an asset to the overall project.

The move started at dawn on a clear, crisp spring day. Hundreds of onlookers lined the route to watch the houses inch down the road, marveling at the ability of Guy Davis, his daughters and staff to move the structures by remote control.”

 -William E. McGintee, Supervisor of the Town of East Hampton

“I was very impressed with your work moving the six eighteenth-century and early–nineteenth century buildings from the de Menil property to the East Hampton Town Hall property.

From lifting the buildings off their foundations and placing them on steel through the move across fields and roads every step was wall-planned and carefully executed. The operation went so smoothly and was under such complete control that, like anything very well done, it appeared to be almost effortless.

There was no damage to the buildings and no stress to their timber frames.”

 -Robert Hefner, Historic Construction Consultant

“Please consider this letter as our complete endorsement of the outstanding job Guy Davis; President of Davis Construction House Movers did moving Cold Spring Harbor’s original Fire House (circa 1866) to its new location.

This fourth generation building mover’s expertise was clearly evident as he braced, raised our fire house and moved it between two structures with only inches to spare. On an early Sunday morning, Guy, in a seemingly effortless manner, moved this historic structure up our Main Street and positioned it so perfectly on its new foundation that no further adjustment had to be made – clear evidence that knowledge, competence and experience pay off.”

 - H.T. Hogan, Jr., Founder

“Davis Construction Building Movers were contracted to move a 20,000 sq. ft. house located in Water Mill. The job was extremely challenging as I’m sure you could imagine what it would be like to move an approximately 20,000 sq. ft. house in one piece approximately 175 feet. Guy Davis assisted me in every phase of the project, from the excavation to the placing and pouring of the foundation to ensure a smooth and precise situation when we lowered the house onto the new foundation. The job was published in an article in the Southampton Press which you can probably get a copy of if you would like.

As a contract on the East End for almost 30 years, I have moved many houses from Maidstone Hall on Ocean Road in East Hampton which is a 16,000 plus sq. ft. house built in 1867 for the Gardner family to cutting a house into five pieces and moving it a mile and half away and putting it back together which was published in Forbes Magazine some years ago. The most recent project which was published in the East Hampton Star was an art studio designed by Stamford White on Georgica Pond in East Hampton which was picked up and rotated approximately 90 degrees and moved about 100 feet or son on an extremely difficult site with severe topography. As you can see, I have a broad base of experience as a general contractor moving large homes. Having said that, on these projects I had worked with another house mover who I originally started this project with and after he started, he realized that it was too much for him and he abandoned the project. You can imagine the situation that this put me in. I then called Guy Davis who came in and did the project with the utmost professionalism I could have imagined. For these and other reasons, I highly recommend Guy Davis of Davis Construction Building Movers.

Please contact me if you would like at any time. It would be my pleasure to speak to anyone in reference to Guy Davis.”

 - Jeffrey A. Colle, President

“It is with pleasure that we recommend Guy Davis and his team of movers. Guy and his crew successfully moved our home during the fall of 2004 from an adjacent property about 1/3 of a mile away from its current location. Our house was one of the largest (if not the largest) ever to be moved in one piece on Long Island. Guy ensured that all details of the move were attended to, including the reinforcement of two large chimneys and a 12 foot wrap-around porch.

Guy and his team were extremely professional – completing the project on time and on budget. We highly recommend them. “

 -Henry and Debbie Druker, East Hampton homeowners

“We have worked with Guy on many jobs. Over the years, he has lifted and moved a number of houses for us. Some were small. Some were regular sized. One was absolutely mammoth. It was also very old. Despite its age and the distance it traveled on Guy’s equipment, when it landed on its new foundation it was intact, as though it hadn’t been moved at all.

We believe that Guy is someone you can trust with your house. We recommend him. We are confident that you will find him prompt, competent and competitively priced."

“We have worked with Guy Davis of Davis Construction Building Movers for the past twenty years. Our moving projects have ranged from expensive sculptures to 8,000 sq. ft. mansions.

On every project Guy and his team have always been very professional and we are proud to have Guy Davis as one of Andreassen and Bulgin’s preferred subcontractors.”

-D. Edward Bulgin, President

 “As a professional engineer I have worked with Davis Construction House and Building Movers since 1995 certifying their jacking, shoring, and moving of several large homes. Their expertise for doing this work is of the highest caliber.

“Davis Construction was a crucial part of the restoration of the historic Swan Lawn estate in Southampton. I needed a three story 140 year old, 6,000 sq. foot mansion lifted off the ground, straightened out, and then lowered on a new foundation while keeping all of the fireplaces intact. Davis Construction executed an extremely difficult project tin a professional and timely manor.

It was a pleasure to work with Davis Construction.”

-Bruce F. Metcalf, Owner

“Guy Davis is the best building mover I have ever known. He is also a good business man knowing that a reputation is built on honesty, integrity and hard work. He possessed all these qualities and more. He is a nice guy. Anyone would be foolish to use another to move their building.”

-Robert M. Padden, Owner

“Guy Davis and I are in similar businesses. He moves buildings and structures and I move mostly over dimensional/ over weight machinery and equipment. He calls when he has a large project and needs reliable and confident help. We compliment each other and face the unique challenges together. Davis is 100% BLUE CHIP. You would be hard pressed to find a better source for what they provide.”
