Customer Reviews

"We write this testimonial with the utmost pleasure on behalf of General Acrylics. For the last 15 years, we have collaborated with General Acrylics in Prescott Unified School District #1 on maintenance projects for our high school track and tennis courts. When it came time to look at options for improving our high school's main field and track, we knew we could trust General Acrylics. After all, we have been asking for their expertise on this topic for the last seven years. Even though we did not have the money, as so many in Arizona at the time, to make these changes, General Acrylics never made us feel like we were any less than a valued customer. Not to mention, their experience has been well documented over the past 61 years.

General Acrylics worked with us for almost a year, putting together historical summaries of maintenance and cost analysis and different quotes for our bond committee, school board, and the community at large. The support, research, and time that Jonnie, Mike, and the staff demonstrated during this process of procuring support and financing was a crucial step in helping us make this project a reality. In June 2019, General Acrylics began the complete reconstruction and installation of a new synthetic turf field and state-of-the-art post-tension concrete track at Prescott High School. Their preparation, professionalism, communication, and work ethic took a $2 million project and made it a reality for our school and community that was beyond what we ever dreamed possible."

"Recently we contracted with General Acrylics to completely redo our track. We are very pleased with our new track and how smoothly the process went with the professional crew at General Acrylics. I would highly recommend General Acrylics as the premier company in Arizona for athletic track resurfacing and construction."

Edward Burgoyne, Superintendent
St. Johns Unified School District

"I had the pleasure of working with the Astroturf and General Acrylics team during a field replacement project for the Humboldt Unified School District. The project consisted of an existing synthetic turf football field and synthetic turf baseball infield that needed replacement due to age and normal wear and tear. The project also included some other miscellaneous sports related improvements. General Acrylics’ proposal was selected during the procurement process because they had the best product, warranty, and a quality proposal.

During the construction process General Acrylics kept excellent communication with our architecture firm and the school district representatives. The project was built with a very tight schedule and completed on time. The synthetic turf field provided by Astroturf and General Acrylics’ team greatly exceeded the quality of the previous field. We recommend the General Acrylics team for your next athletic synthetic turf project. You will be satisfied with the quality of work, customer service, and Professionalism."

"Please know that we are very pleased with the work that was completed on our tennis court. The crew arrived punctually and worked carefully. Also please know that Justin Fudge was a very good representative for your company. Thank you."

"To Mike and the crew at General Acrylics, I just want to thank all of you for the fantastic job you did resurfacing our track. We are very happy with the end product for several reasons. Obviously, it looks great and you can feel the difference. More importantly though was the level of professionalism and great flow of communication from your office that made this project possible. During the planning stage of the project your team assured us that we could carry on with our regularly scheduled practices and games. This was reassuring to me as an Athletic Director because moving around events this late in the season is not always a simple thing. While all projects have obstacles to overcome, we had a unique weather event that rarely happens in the desert. the aftermath of a hurricane dumped rain on our community for five straight days, making a tight timeline for completion more challenging. Your group went above and beyond by working through the night on several occasions to make sure that we were able to host a football game on a Friday night. The patience exhibited by your crew and willingness to make sure that I knew where we were at with the project on a daily basis made what could have been a trying circumstance more than manageable. In fact it was a great experience from start to finish. It was a pleasure working with people that were understanding, positive, and determined to do what was best for our school."

Darin Giltner, Dean of Students – Athletic Director
Benson High School

"Thank you so much for your work on our sport courts. They look amazing! Pat was wonderful to work with on-site and was on top of everything. I did not have to provide him with any direction. On a few occasions, I thought of a something I wanted to review with him, but then a half an hour later, he would have already taken care of the issue without me having to bring it to his attention. I wish all my vendors were as thorough and low maintenance as your group. I would recommend you to anyone in need of court surfacing."

The knowledge and skills that the employees possess demonstrates their ability and desire to achieve complete customer satisfaction even on the most challenging projects. General Acrylics is resourceful, responsible and has performed well on past projects for Mesa Schools upholding the highest standards of honesty and integrity and always aware of the need for complying with budgets and meeting critical deadlines. Without reservation I would recommend General Acrylics. They exemplify the type of company desired for repair, renovation and construction of running tracks and tennis courts at educational facilities."

"Nellis Air Force Base was in need of two new facilities. One in particular was a brand new running track, and the other was an artificial turf football field. We knew that this was a very specialized field and chose General Acrylics Inc. to perform the work after many other contractors bid the project. General Acrylics understood the attention to detail and all that came with performing a project for the Military. The personal were very informative and the project was executed with professionalism and swiftness. General Acrylics completed the entire project as scheduled and on budget, leaving Nellis Air Force Base with an outstanding track and field. I thank you for the outstanding work and the great effort in working well with all personnel on the base and most of all the satisfaction with the installation of our new running track and turf field."

"It has been my pleasure to work with General Acrylics Inc. over the past several years. They have provided us with our running track, tennis courts and in 2010 constructed an artificial football / soccer field for DHS. General Acrylics has met every time table and budget or every job we have given them and our expectations have been surpassed for each project. I will continue to work with General Acrylics Inc. for any and all of our future sports construction or renovation projects that Douglas High School may have."

"General Acrylics, Inc. constructed a 4-lane Spurtan® Running Track in the fall of 2009 for National Nuclear Security Administration's Los Alamos National Laboratory. The primary users of this track are the SOC-Los Alamos Protective Forces. The Protective Force (PF) is vital in securing our national security interests, property and people. The PF is required by the Department of Energy; Code of Federal Regulations to demonstrate physical fitness standards to include weekly maintenance training to safely meet those standards. Construction of this track provided a professional venue to conduct physical fitness operations and has significantly improved Physical Fitness Program administration. Due to internal laboratory issues, construction of the track was authorized in October 2009. This created multiple challenges mainly due to inclement weather and low temperatures (Los Alamos is located in the mountains at 7500 feet). General Acrylics, Inc. faced all challenges with outstanding professionalism and provided solutions and options in order to execute completion of the track under our timelines. Our track has been used for almost 2 years and looks and feels as good as the day construction was completed. My only complaint is that the track is so outstanding; it has become very popular for all laboratory personnel. Everyone wants to use it!

General Acrylics, Inc. has proven that construction of any project can be completed with great satisfaction in the government sector. Further, continued customer support has been outstanding with any questions I have had since completion of construction. I have no reservations with recommending General Acrylics, Inc. to complete your track or turf projects."

"What a pleasure it is to write a recommendation of Astroturf Game Day Grass for replacement of your athletic fields. With General Acrylics (Jonnie Deremo) as General Contractor, our football field and track at The Meadows School underwent such replacement during 2009 and what an outstanding job and the phenomenal results are evident. We've been delighted and actually thrilled with their work and our incredible fields. Visitors and spectators are awed, our student-athletes are amazed at the improvement in the quality and consistency of the playfield and track, and everyone has complimented AGDG for their win­ win job.

When we decided to undertake replacing the athletic unit because we had heard such conflicting input, we first contacted the Superintendents of City and County parks to see what choices they showed were in use and were available. We had all heard about the inefficiency of turf in extremely hot climates such as in Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico to the point that athletes had to wear multiple pairs of socks, replace soles of their shoes, and reschedule competition for times when the sun was in ebb or rising.

In the heat of noon in August on our campus, three of us adults took off our shoes and stood barefoot on the Astroturf. Warm like the sand, yes, but what a huge difference and what a thrill to know that we'd chosen so well. AstroTurf GameDay and General Acrylics are a compatible and great team: most efficient, timely, on budget, clean, honorable, proud of their work, delivering a great product, and justifiably so. I recommend them to you without equivocation."

Carolyn G. Goodman, Founder / School President

"I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you and your crew for an outstanding job performed at our Kuentz Tennis Facility. Every one seems to be pleased with the new surface and color scheme. Joaquin and his crew are to be commended for an outstanding job. I received many compliments about Joaquin and his helper on their work ethics and performance. They did an outstanding job from preparation to finish. Over all I would rate this job as the best one performed so far at our tennis facilities. Thanks again for a job well done."

"General Acrylics, Inc. has resurfaced basketball and tennis courts for the City of Flagstaff. They always completed their projects in a timely, professional manner and have always done high quality work. We highly recommend General Acrylics, Inc. for all tennis and basketball court resurfacing needs."

"I don't often write letters of recommendation for paid services, but General Acrylics was exceptional in providing quality workmanship, expert council, and supportive customer care in association with our Tennis Court installation. We couldn't be more pleased with the end result. Although we are well aware that it takes an entire team of support as well as on-site personnel to effectively accomplish the goal, we would like to single out Matt Vaughan, the person with whom we had the most direct contact, and encourage acknowledgment of his work ethic, customer relations, and excellent performance. Judy & I wish you and your entire staff continued success. It has truly been a pleasure to work with such an exceptional group of professionals."

Ray Powers, President / CEO

"I wanted to take this opportunity to commend and thank you for the Great Job we were given at Marana High School in regards to the new track installation. Your foreman Chuck James showed outstanding professionalism and a great attitude even in the face of sometimes difficult situations that often arise during the course of a job of this magnitude. I would be happy to recommend your company to anyone in need of professional results from a professional company. We look forward to the opportunity to work with your company in the future."

"The project for which we contracted with you was quite involved- to celebrate the Phoenix Suns' 30th anniversary by renovating thirty basketball courts across the state of Arizona. From our first meeting, when you provided a complete overview of your services, through each site visit, court renovation and our own dedication ceremony, you were thorough, organized and professional. I especially appreciate that you honored your estimates, allowing our entire project to stay on budget. Finally, our community contacts were very pleased with the quality of the courts. Your attention to detail has helped insure that our donation will have a lasting affect upon these Arizona communities. Joe, it was a pleasure to work with you on the Phoenix Suns basketball court renovation project and I hope we have the opportunity to do so again in the future."

"In today's world, it is simply "overwhelming" to do business with someone who will back-up his product / work as you have with our tennis courts. We know we had no guarantees from you regarding cracks appearing or reappearing, but you did not hesitate in remedying our problem. Needless to say, you have a lock on any future work concerning our tennis courts as far as I am concerned. And, if any member of our Association should make inquiries regarding Tennis Courts, we know where to send them. We certainly appreciate your efforts and THANK YOU VERY MUCH!"
