The project included adding a second story window in addition to the usual walls, sheetrock, flooring, tile, etc. The project took longer than expected, but we were happy with the end result. He was very detailed in the billing and stayed on budget. **★★★★★ — Katelyn Clark, March 2025** > Bret & Team have been wonderful and easy to work with! Throughout the build out of our attic to become a dream playroom, he has remained communicative and thorough. Highly recommend! **★★★★★ — Doug B, Feb. 2018** > Bret builds absolutely beautiful and detailed oriented homes, with great taste. This all combined is extraordinarily hard to find and I look forward to work with him! **★★★★★ — willaim11mcclung, July 2017** > Bret Franks Construction recently completed a remodel job for my wife and I. I cannot say enough good things about the way he handled the entire process. His contracts are extremely transparent and he knows how to manage the entire process. **Comment from Bret Franks Construction, Inc.:** > Thank you, Will. And, again, we welcome you and your family to Arkansas! **★★★★★ — Angela Strange, March 2017** > Bret's homes are beautifully built - such great detail. I bought one of his homes back in October and I am still IN LOVE with it. He is very easy to work with and you can tell he takes pride in what he does. I would highly recommend Bret Franks Constructions, Inc. and if I ever decided to build a new home (which I plan on living in this one FOREVER), I would hire Bret. **Comment from Bret Franks Construction, Inc.:** > Thank you, Angie! You are exactly the type of client we love to work with! We're so glad you love your home. **★★★★★ — Nena, May 2016** > I was very pleased with the remodel work that Bret Franks Construction Company did on my 1921 cottage. He and his team took out an existing wall between the sunroom and bedroom, completely painted, braced the floor, and truly made it into a "master bedroom." > Bret stayed on top of things and the job was completed quickly and efficiently. I was very impressed by the business like way things were handled. I am looking forward to another project soon with Bret Franks. They are the best! **Comment from Bret Franks Construction, Inc.:** > Thank you, Nena! We look forward to working with you again soon! **★★★★★ — brantsachleben, May 2016** > We hired Bret to remodel a small fixer upper. We are more than happy with the outcome! We love it! Bret worked with us to help design the best space for our family. He was open to our requests to change/tweak things along the way. Bret was very conscientious of our budget which is very important - it would be very easy for it to get out of hand quickly with a remodel. His crew was efficient, nice and prompt to address any of our concerns. We hope to expand in a few years and we will definitely be calling Bret to do the job. We cannot say enough good things about him and his crew! They did a great job! **Comment from Bret Franks Construction, Inc.:** > Thank you! Y'all were great to work with. I just love the way the shelves turned out. Looking forward to working with you again in the future. - Bret **★★★★★ — Kristin S, May 2016** > I am very particular and difficult to please; yet, Bret Franks far exceeded my expectations. Bret Franks and his crew are very detail-oriented, courteous, efficient, and diligent, esp. when it comes to sticking to the projected time table/schedule. Do yourself a favor, and hire Bret Franks for your next project - I know I will. **★★★★★ — melissaawood2002, March 2015** > We hired Bret to complete several projects around our house. The biggest two projects included almost completely re-doing the exterior and a total gut and renovation of the master bathroom. Bret was very knowledgeable and trustworthy. He was able to identify problem areas that we didn't even realize needed repair, and Bret was very cost-conscious when he chose his building materials. Bret was always available to answer questions, had great ideas for our project, and incorporated our ideas and wishes into the design. We felt like we were in great hands from the beginning. If we still lived in the area we would definitely use Bret Franks Construction again. **Comment from Bret Franks Construction, Inc.:** > Thank you. It was our pleasure helping you. We were so glad to see the house sell so quickly! **★★★★★ — Southern Living House Plans, March 2015** > A member of the Southern Living Custom Home Builder Program since 2004, Bret Franks Construction, Inc. brings high quality Southern homes to Central Arkansas. They specialize in quality residential construction with an emphasis in custom details. **★★★★★ — Bill Ross/ProSource of Little Rock, Feb. 2013** > I am fortunate to be able to work with Bret & Jen Franks and their customer's on a regular basis. Bret & Jen are detail oriented individuals that provide their clients with high quality product that fulfills dreams and enhances one life.

A: It’s from Park Hill Home. They have a store in Conway, AR. Also, you should be able to shop for their things from various vendors on the internet by searching Park Hill Home Collection. **Q: Why choose metal and shingles for roofing, rather than all metal?** *(in Photo Questions)* I'm curious as to whether this was purely for aesthetic reasons, or whether there were other considerations, such as cost or cell-phone reception. A: The reason that metal is on the porch roof section is due to its low pitch. Metal with a water proof membrane does a better job, rather than typical composite shingles, of guaranteeing that water does not penetrate the roof decking in snow and ice conditions. And yes, I’m certain that the intent would have been to roof the entire home with metal if the budget would have been larger. The 1-1/4” standing seam that we use is about 3 times more expensive than typical composite shingles. Bret Franks **Q: What is this type of gray stone? Thanks.** *(in Photo Questions)* I am looking for a natural stone porch that is gray in color. A: That is natural slate that came from our brick and stone supplier. **Q: That Hutch!!** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you tell me where the Hutch came from? A: All of the furnishings are from the Park Hill collection. They have a retail store in Conway, AR. **Q: williamssm03@yahoo.com** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you tell me the name or code for the Sherwin Williams blue/gray exterior color? A: I believe the color is Ben Moore Buckland Blue HC-151. **Q: Is the stone on the house and outdoor fireplace local Arkansas stone?** *(in Photo Questions)* Is the stone on the house and fireplace local Arkansas stone? A: I do not know the exact answer to this question. It does not look like the typical Arkansas fieldstone. Some of the Rock we use actually comes from surrounding states. It was sourced through a local dealer, though. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-08-09.*
