**★★★★★ — John Goebel, March 2018**

> Excellent quality work. I would highly recommend J.R. and his team at Avalon for any remodel or new construction project you may be considering!

**★★★★★ — Kelvin Tyrell, March 2018**

> Avalon Associates is a fair and honest company.  Knowledgeable and pays attention to detail. Listens to his clients.  Conscientious of time and deadlines.

**★★★★★ — Aaron Tokarski, Jan. 2018**

> My wife and I built a new house in Delaware with Avalon Associates.  JR's knowledge and honesty sold us right out of the gate. He and his very capable team then took us through the entire process, from design to construction, making us feel comfortable and confident the entire time. The pride they take in their work and their attention to detail is evident in everything they do and is second to none. We couldn't be happier with our new home and our decision to choose Avalon Associates.

**Comment from Avalon Associates, Inc.:**

> Thanks Aaron. It was a pleasure to build your family a home, we hope you enjoy it for many years to come!

**★★★★★ — diannehth, Jan. 2018**

> I can’t say enough about the quality work and professionalism of Avalon Associates. They are honest and stand behind their work. I have had them remodel my kitchen and put an addition on my house. I was so pleased I used them again to finish my basement then to remodel two bathrooms. Great group of people.

**Comment from Avalon Associates, Inc.:**

> Thank you for your kind words. Great finish choices in your master bath and always a pleasure to work for you!

**★★★★★ — Kim Pionati, Jan. 2018**

> My husband an I built a new waterfront home in Elkton Maryland using Avalon Associates.  It was a wonderful and exciting experience.  Right from the start we knew that JR was the right builder for us.  While looking at samples of his work every homeowner was singing his praises. It speaks volumes when a homeowner is still happy with the builder by the end of the project.   Thankfully we can give the same resounding accolades.   He was professional and knowledgable with a great group of employees and subs to execute each step of the process.  While the project took longer than anticipated we did add a lot of extra details as we went along.  JR was always willing to listen to our concerns and do whatever was necessary to accommodate our every wish!
