Even when things happened out of their control, they never hesitated to make it right. Their attention to detail and communication was great! If we ever build again we will definitely be calling Gwaltney Construction! **★★★★★ — John Schmidt, April 2017** > During the course of a massive tree crushing my mother's home during a hurricane, and yet another tree four months later when all the repairs were done, I could not have gotten through the trauma of these events without Gwaltney Construction. Jarod Gwaltney was there the morning after the hurricane and again the afternoon after the second tree hit. He was able to connect with all the right people to begin the work on repairing my mother's home in short order. When he had finished everything after the hurricane, and the second tree hit just ten days before we closed on the sale of the house, he began the process all over again and saw us through another massive repair. > > When he saw the second event occur, it was if it was his own house as he and his crew had invested so much time and effort into repairing it the first time. He truly cared. > > One of his better qualities is that he never "left me hanging." I always knew what the next steps were and he was always willing to listen. Communication is so key in the construction industry and Jarod Gwaltney get's an A+ in that category. > > Finally, if the time should come where we need to build another custom house, we will no doubt be calling on Jarod Gwlatney and his great team. Truly the best! **★★★★★ — Cynthia Csikos, Jan. 2017** > Jarrod Gwaltney and his crew are highly trained, professional craftsmen, courteous and friendly, and extremely dependable. His subcontractors are chosen for these same traits. Jarrod has the perfect demeanor for this highly stressful job of coordinating construction. He remains calm at all times, never harried, and is totally customer oriented. I could not be more pleased with both the process and the finished product of my beautiful new home! **★★★★★ — davidebra, Sept. 2016** > Gwaltney Construction renovated a 35 year old home built by a craftsman. It was a unique A-frame with a loft, built for one person so it needed updating as well as a significant addition. We chose the perfect company to do our project. They are not just builders, but craftsman as well. They respected the previous work and built a seamless addition; matching old barn wood beams, finding and finishing wood so you can't tell a difference between the 40 year old floor and new one and so much more. Gwaltney Construction exceeded our expectations on many levels. They made improvements to the architectural plans, they problem solved and came up with perfect solutions when a problem arose, they were respectful and kept an immaculate construction site. We recommend them highly! ## Selected projects - [Mother In Law Suite](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mother-in-law-suite-pj-vj~5700333) - Location: Tallahassee, FL - Photos: 22 - [Centerville Conservation Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/centerville-conservation-custom-home-pj-vj~2926331) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 43 - [Midtown Cottage Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/midtown-cottage-custom-home-pj-vj~2911015) - Location: Tallahassee, FL - Photos: 29 - [Exterior Details](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/exterior-details-pj-vj~2005954) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Ceilings](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ceilings-pj-vj~2005941) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [2016 Parade of Homes Platinum Winner](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/2016-parade-of-homes-platinum-winner-pj-vj~2003923) - Location: Tallahassee, FL - Photos: 16 [See all 6 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/general-contractors/gwaltney-construction-pfvwus-pf~278926523) ## Ideabooks - [Wish List](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/72537239/list/wish-list) — 2 ideas - [Ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/104078493/list/ideas) — 46 ideas - [courtney1478's ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/72537240/list/courtney1478-s-ideas) — 27 ideas [See all 3 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/gwaltneyconstruction) ## Community Q&A **Q: what are the floors?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: The floors are Antique Heart Pine. **Q: what was used for the exterior siding?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: No, that is different. **Q: what type of tile is this?** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you tell me the type and color of this tile?
