We had a room addition and a covered deck added to our home at a time when materials were in short supply and skilled labor even more so. The crew were hard, diligent workers, and honestly just a pleasure to have around. > If you are looking for a top quality contractor with the knowledge and integrity to get it done right, you need look no further than Wade Garnett. **★★★★★ — HU-853513555, Nov. 2020** > I just had exterior upgrades completed by Garnett Construction LLC. Highly recommend, very pleased with outcome of my project based on quality, reliability, cost and cleanliness of their crews! Wade Garnett has been accommodating and responsive to all my questions and / or concerns from start to finish! Many thanks to Wade and his team ; will utilize his services again in the future. **★★★★★ — E.B. SHUMATE, June 2020** > Pleased with the results. Wade was able to take my vision and transform it into a reality. He sent master craft folk to do the work, and when the work slowed down, he came and contributed his own sweat equity. Thanks Wade. **Comment from Garnett Construction:** > Thank you for trusting in us to create the space for you. Hope the addition will help you keep those creative juices flowing in your art work **★★★★★ — Daryl Jones, March 2017** > Wade's guys came over and they really delivered! Courteous, professional and very thorough. They saw a potential problem in repairing my door-frames that the exterior inspection missed and explained how they were going to make it "better than new." They kept their promise. Can't express how pleased I am over a job truly well done. Couldn't be happier with their work and very glad I had them on the job. Anyone asks...I'm sending them to Garnett Construction. Well done! **★★★★★ — Mary Lloyd, Dec. 2016** > We chose Garnett Construction for our screened porch and patio addition after seeing the excellent work he did for friends. Wade and his crew helped us create the space we had always dreamed of! Wade brought our ideas to life. The quality of the work was exceptional. The porch looks like it was an original part of the house. Wade's crew was very professional and timely. And when we were at a loss picking flooring, Wade provided suggestions that proved to be absolutely perfect. We could not be happier with the project and enthusiastically recommend Garnett Construction to everyone! **Comment from Garnett Construction:** > Thank you for the kind words, very humbling and fulfilling to hear. Thought I would throw in a couple of pics. **★★★★★ — jacklocke4, June 2016** > If you want quality construction and excellent customer service, call Wade Garnett and let him take you from preliminary design ideas to the reality of the house renovation you have always wanted. Wade and his crew of professional builders remodeled our dining room, kitchen, and den, making it a showplace we are extremely proud of. If you are still undecided get Wade to bring you by for a look at his excellent work. **Comment from Garnett Construction:** > Thank you Jack, you and Kay were a pleasure to work for. Glad we could make your visions for a open floor plan come to life. **★★★★★ — Mike Cataldo, May 2016** > Wow!! What can we say! Wade has completely transformed our deck and backyard into an oasis. Attention to detail, constant communication, and a great price. We will be calling him again when we need anything done. He helped us transform a few of our ideas into a real plan and final design that we love. **Comment from Garnett Construction:** > Glad you guys are pleased with the results. Have to throw in a night shot! **★★★★★ — Wendy Reed, April 2016** > This is the third time we have hired Garnett Construction to make improvements on our home, and we have been thrilled with the work every time! Most recently, we had Garnett Construction remodel our master bathroom, and they did a fantastic job. Here's what I love about this company: > 1\) They really listen to what you want and offer advice and guidance to get there, > 2\) They are always friendly, respectful, easy to work with, and courteous, > 3\) They are dependable - arrive when they say and meet their deadlines, > 4\) If they run into problems (which is inevitable with remodeling!), they work with you to develop a solution that works for your family, > 5\) They try hard to minimize the impact on your life while they work, including lots of drop cloths for keeping things as clean as possible, > 6\) They are clearly knowledgeable and can provide great advice, > 7\) They double check their work and catch any minor flaws before I even noticed, > 8\) They stay within the budget and let you know if there will be added costs for something you want, and > 9\) They kindly made a simple improvement when they saw something that needed to be fixed, free of charge. > I highly recommend this company; we could not have asked for a better experience. **Comment from Garnett Construction:** > As always we appreciate the business!!! Thank you for taking time to review us, it is how we get our next job, word of mouth!!! **★ — munson13, Feb. 2016** > After beginning the project, Mr Garnett informed us that he had understood us to be seeking to "Flip" our home. We never insinuated or said anything to that affect, as a matter of fact, we told him that we would be spending the rest of our lives in this home. Almost every aspect of the work that he had done to our home has had to be redone, painting, paving, wiring, plumbing, carpeting, etc.. I can say with all honesty, that this has been a disappointing experience from the day that his one and only full-time employee started work. We continue to have plumbing, pavement, oven, diswasher and sink installation problems. **Comment from Garnett Construction:** > We are deeply sorry that you are not happy with your experience, and that you are having issues with your home. I wish you had contacted us for any problems you may have had. Seeing your bad review, nearly two years after we completed your job is our first indication that you are having ANY troubles and/or that you are unhappy with our work. > It was NEVER talked about you "flipping" your house it was always understood that it was to be a long term residence for the two of you. That is why we suggested for you to do a lot more of the whole house internals than just fixing up a few of the rooms. It seemed that you had more interest in tile, shutters, paint colors, carpet choices, etc than you did the termite damage, rotten floors, old galvanized plumbing, and wiring issues. > Due to the house being built in 1948 there were a number of these items that came up and needed attention, and where put on the "back burner" because you would have had to eliminate an item or two on your original list of wants, due to the budget. > Again please accept our apologies for any problems you are, or may be having with your home. **★★★★★ — kkglass9462, Feb. 2016** > We gave Wade a pretty complex project and he delivered despite many unforeseen obstacles along the way. I needed to build a multi-generational home on the water in Hampton, VA that was handicap-accessible. My husband has advanced multiple sclerosis and my mother is 75. Building on the lot we owned required unique construction features due to its proximity to the water and regulatory hurdles. We needed a single story home that was elevated to 14+ feet to withstand flooding yet was easily accessible for my husband. > > We had the initial design but Wade offered suggestions along the way to save money and make improvements. All of his subcontractors were polite and professional and I felt the entire group (including my family) was part of a team in this project. > > We had extreme challenges in getting services to my lot and were able to successfully resolve these. > > I am very pleased with the final product. While we went a bit over-budget, this was caused by problems which were beyond the control of Wade. He helped me find ways to cut other areas to minimize the impact of our problems without sacrificing the vision I had for my new home. > > Wade was patient with my stresses along the way and stayed the course as he guided me through the building process. I also cannot say enough about his team other than they were like part of my family. **★★★★★ — gwenkharris, Feb. 2016** > Remodel of kitchen, 3 baths, replacement of all windows, elevator instalation, and multiple updates. Construction completed within budget. > Excellent coordination of work schedule with subcontractors. Staff and contracted workers were professional, efficient, helpful, and respectful. > Helpful suggestions: Heated bath floors, pocket door to barn door, lighting options... > We are very pleased with the personalized final product. **★★★★ — Jennifer Shoemaker, Feb. 2016** > Garnett Construction completed a master bathroom remodel for us, and it went as smoothly as a remodel could go. The owner was extremely helpful in the process and always available when needed. The end result is a beautiful, updated, custom bathroom. The company has a good attention to detail, thus we would highly recommend their services. ## Selected projects - [Beechwood](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/beechwood-pj-vj~1546170) - Location: Yorktown, VA - Photos: 12 - [Exteriors](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/exteriors-pj-vj~1539272) - Location: Yorktown, VA - Photos: 28 - [York Point](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/york-point-pj-vj~746773) - Location: Yorktown, VA - Photos: 6 - [Stairwell cool features](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/stairwell-cool-features-pj-vj~1546457) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - Description: Installed an exterior beaded wood siding as an accent on the wall, and also added LED lighting.
