I highly recommend Helton Construction. Communication was top notch from first look to the end. VERY professional. Contracts, updated contracts, and changes all communicated, if necessary, in writing. VERY cognizant that this is our home and we live here. Drop runners were placed and removed daily along hallways they frequented and dust and such was limited as much as possible. The scheduled time frame of work was adhered to. The work was very professionally done and beautiful.

The heater in my garage went out and I called Wendell at Helton Construction. He came over the same day and fixed it in the same day.

The best part about working with these guys is that they got the job done on time and within the budget we originally talked about. If you're looking for a high quality contractor I would definitely recommend them.
