Dear Mark,
I would like to take the opportunity to express our sincere gratitude
for a job well done. Britt & I were extremely impressed by the
professionalism and care by which you, Dan, and Jamen moved our
home. We were both awestruck, along with the other spectators, by
the precision used to relocate such a large home. You took the time
to keep us informed of all the important steps necessary to complete
to move, and took the time to answer all our questions without the
usual frustration directed to those that would be ignorant to such
a procedure. I will be sending a separate letter to Mr. Wolfe in
order to thank him also and compliment him on his fine judgment
in selecting such a exceptional group of employees. We both thank
you, Dan and Jamen for allowing our dream to come true. If I can
ever be of any assistance, please contact me immediately.
Sincerely,

Dear Mark & Verling Wolfe,
We are thrilled with the work you performed at our home. The experience
was truly a performance! We still can’t believe that in one
week you moved brick pillars and iron gates in one piece that date
back to 1862. In my mind I can vividly see them moving along steel
girders as a unit. They moved sideways a total of 38 feet. It was
something that our kids and the neighbors that watched will never
forget. You and your crew were a pleasure to have here on our property.
You were very efficient and hard workers. The breakdown and cleanup
of the area involved was as neat and orderly as it could be based
on the amount of dirt that was moved and the rainy weather you had
to contend with. I’d recommend Verling Wolfe, Building and
House Movers for any job of this nature. Our pillars and gates are
listed with the Historic Society in our area. The gates were originally
located in an area where they were not in use and looked rather
awkward because they are so grand. The historic society tired to
stop our project for fear that the pillars would crumble or the
gates would incur damage. Neither of the later happened, and the
township, neighbors and members of historic society cheered when
they saw the result. They also have been very complimentary of the
move and the fact they will now be used at the entrance to our driveway.
Thanks again. You were a terrific find.
Sincerely,
The Gamos

To Mr. Wolfe, Mark, Jamin, Dan, and the rest of the crew:
I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude
to all of you. Thank-you for doing such a terrific job in successfully
moving my Ranch home across the field out of the path of the Central
Susquehanna Valley Thruway – Bypass Project.
Your pleasant personalities, caring attitudes, and great workmanship
made a fine combination in the team efforts that we evident while
getting the work done in a timely manner. Despite the weather conflicts,
which were beyond our control…(remember the ankle-high mud
and then the extreme frigid temperatures that finally occurred so
that the house could make the trip to its new destination)….everything
went very well. Your capabilities and professionalism were exemplary.
I can’t thank you enough for all that you have done for my
family and me! Please feel free to provide my name and number as
a reference for anyone that may be interested in learning more about
my experience. As you are well aware, I was truly amazed at the
whole process. I certainly appreciated the services that you provided
in order for me to save my home. It has so much sentimental value
since my loving father built it for me. Thank-you ever so much for
a job well done!
God bless all of you!
Sincerely,
Shelley Knorr

RE: Building Moving Project
320 Caversham Rd.
Bryn Mawr, PA
Project Manager: Mark Buckingham
This is to very favorably mention the special skill employed by
Mr. Mark Buckingham in the reference house-moving project.
The subject building was of 1959 construction that was and remains
55’ long by 34’ wide. The structure weighed some 225
tons (450,000#), roughly half a million pounds, the two story, brick
veneer structure had to be moved some 165’ from its original
lot to another contiguous property and raised some 20’ higher
than it had been. This project was what we consider a major undertaking
of preservation and construction. The know-how and bravery exhibited
by Mr. Buckingham and his work crew was of the highest order and
was accomplished in the best tradition of ingenuity, applied experience
and care for details of safety. With no waste of motion or time,
Mr. Buckingham’s control of the site, the building, major
machinery and his cooperation with other contactors was nothing
short of our expectations and we think even exceeded them. It is
our opinion that the choice for this “moving experience”
couldn’t have been a better one. Physical exertion is a thing
to be admired but when careful thought is equally applied the result
may reflect the combination in a job, indeed, well done. We therefore
highly recommend Mr. Buckingham for any such work.
Should anyone wish to call and verify this recommendation please
do not hesitate to contact Hugh McCauley per letterhead.
