We remodeled our kitchen this past summer and the end product was more than we hoped for. The project was fairly priced and the workmanship was at the highest level. Ron's crew was a pleasure to work with and made the whole project as pleasant as it could have been. Ron and Mark worked with us to develop a unique and highly functional kitchen and living area. The result was a truly custom kitchen that brings us great pleasure every day. > > We look forward to working with Drake Construction for our Master Bedroom and Bath remodel in the near future. > > As a sidebar … when Hurricane Florence came through our area, a tree came through our neighbors roof and did extensive damage. When we called Ron to see if he could help them or recommend someone that could as everyone seemed to be either gone, or swamped, he found time to come out and meet with them personally that same afternoon. He then had a crew in the following day to begin cleanup and repairs. We can't say enough good things about him. **★ — juanita sizemore, July 2018** > Failed to honor contract. Our house sits in a hole, we walk in water on driveway and sidewalk every time it rains. Did not listen to any of our requests, actually did quiet the opposite on our driveway. Seemed to have little knowledge of grading around the house. Overall work was poor quality. He did meet deadlines; and that was part of the problem, he is always in a hurry to get to the next job. He did NOT stay in our budget. **Comment from DRAKE CONSTRUCTION:** > We are so sorry you feel this way Mrs. Sizemore. We are disappointed to hear that our numerous efforts and trips to your home have gone in vein. Unfortunately, when folks exceed the allowances that they agreed to prior to construction, it does mean that budgets won't be met. ## Selected projects - [Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-home-pj-vj~2575972) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 17 - [Exteriors](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/exteriors-pj-vj~2524104) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Living Rooms](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/living-rooms-pj-vj~2524096) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Kitchens](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchens-pj-vj~2524098) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Closet and Storage Organization](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/closet-and-storage-organization-pj-vj~2524100) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Bathroom Projects](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bathroom-projects-pj-vj~2524092) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Space Shots](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/space-shots-pj-vj~2524102) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Garages](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/garages-pj-vj~2524103) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Decks & Patios](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/decks-and-patios-pj-vj~2524097) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Laundry Rooms](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/laundry-rooms-pj-vj~2524105) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 [See all 10 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/general-contractors/drake-construction-pfvwus-pf~916208688) ## Ideabooks - [ron\_drakejr\_'s ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/62129678/list/ron-drakejr-s-ideas) — 2 ideas - [Wish List](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/62129677/list/wish-list) — 3 ideas [See all 2 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/ron-drakejr_) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
