I couldn't have better things to say about Phillip Howard and Howard Construction. He delivered on every aspect of our project from the first interaction until our fond farewell! His professionalism, dedication, attention to detail and passion for craftsmanship was so very much appreciated and we feel lucky to have found him for our project. He and his crew were on time, on budget, and not just up to spec but he made enhancements as he saw them along the way. His crew was always courteous and hardworking, showing respect for our family and privacy of our home. The job was a pool installation, large stamped concrete patio, multi-level deck with an inset hot tub. They worked long full days and even worked in the rain to keep the winter project moving forward. I think one of the most commendable qualities was Philips immaculate communication prior to, during, and even after the project. He checked in daily, gave updates for the day, discussed options as they arose, and finished each day with a plan for tomorrow. His bid was spot on, and I know he did things that went "above and beyond" because of his passion for a job well done. He still checks in with us months later to make sure we are happy. Good luck trying to find another contractor who still cares after the job is done! It is with complete confidence that I would recommend Howard Construction for any projects, small or large, as we were impressed with Phillip and his team as well as the quality of work done at our home. If anyone wishes to hear my feedback in person, I would be happy to take your call. read more

When we lost our house to the Tubbs fire in October 2017, a neighbor who deals with a lot of contractors due to her and her husband's business, told me who they were using as their contractor. She told me: You ought to like your contractor. You will have to be able to communicate with him and they must be someone you trust. You can absolutely trust Phil Howard. Phil Howard made it easy for us to go through this difficult process, and I could not be more pleased with the beautiful custom- home he built us. He took our ideas and brought it to life. When we were making the myriad of decisions, there were several times that we were simply out of our league. Phil made suggestions, but also explained his reasons why he'd go with one thing over another, or with a certain design choice and why. This helped us make informed decisions. He explained a lot of the process and when we didn't understand something, he'd explain it until we understood. He was conscientious when it came to our budget. He knew where the deals were and passed the savings off to us whenever possible. He was extremely patient and understanding when I changed my mind several times. His entire crew was patient, professional, and courteous. I would highly recommend Phil Howard Construction to anyone who would need a contractor. Phil has your back at every turn. When people step into our house for the first time, I often get comments like, "Wow!" If you want an amazing house and a wow experience, I recommend Phil Howard. read more

Two years ago we chose Howard Construction to do a large master bedroom remodel and closet add-on to our home. This contractor had great references, was clearly experienced in his field and impressed us from the first meeting. The job started on time and moved along quickly without a hitch. Having workers in and out of your home can be disruptive, but to a person, the professionals this contractor used were knowledgeable, hard working, communicative and courteous. In fact, we were so pleased with the result, we brought the contractor back to design and remodel a master bath and reconfigure our kitchen, dining area and living room. At the end of each day the area was cleaned up properly and we were always apprised of the work plan and schedule....it was very helpful to know what was next and what to expect. All work this contractor was responsible for in our home was completed in the timeframe promised and exceeded our expectations!!! His guidance and advice was invaluable in the design decision making and we are beyond pleased with our "new home." I recommend Howard Construction without reservation. read more

Our carpenter was contracted to repair/replace much of our existing upstairs porch/deck due to leaks that had developed. When it was determined that part of the job would require roofing expertise for which our carpenter didn't possess the necessary tools/skills, we found Howard Construction on Yelp. Phil danced a beautiful dance with our carpenter to accommodate the existing arrangements we had with him. Phil was very respectful of not stepping on anyone's toes. He gave us guidance on possible options and once our decision was made, he slipped in and out of the project as his expertise was required. He was literally on call to do his part in a timely fashion so as to not delay progress. Our carpenter (who shares our high standards) was duly impressed with the work that had been done. Upon seeing it, he commented, "Now that's the way it should be done." The quality was terrific. We've had torrential downpours that tested it to the max ~ not a drip! And Phil's pricing was fair. He's a true professional who we wouldn't hesitate to contact for future projects. read more

I hired Phil using the reviews from yelp. I had a budget to remodel the kitchen, remove a load baring wall, and install new flooring. We agreed on an estimated price with me doing the demo and painting and he would take care of everything else. Phil and his crew were knowledgeable, had attention to detail, and great craftsmen. Throughout the product I ended up adding more projects to his plate, like running the propane line to my BBQ, new recessed lighting in the kitchen, Demoing the dining room walls and installing new drywall. One of the best things was he was able to take over the interior painting job at the last minute and get it done. His painter came over after hours to paint at night to get it done. His kitchen crew was an expert! We had some real issues with the walls being out of plumb. They made the cabinets level and the floor is no longer like a roller coaster. All of this was just amazing. We are really happy with the work that was done. Every penny paid was worth it! Any future work will be completed by Phil and his crew! read more

Philip Howard quickly came out after I phoned Howard Construction to get an estimate for removal of a massive leaning concrete stair case and construction of a deck. I was immediately impressed with his childlike enthusiasm for his work and extensive practical knowledge of what to do. Within two days I had an estimate from Philip. To my surprise it was the lowest estimate with the greatest scope of work and best grade of materials. Within 5 days the project was completed. I never felt Philip was cutting corners. The deck is built like a brick...(I forget the words.) The deck is also beautiful and adds far more value to my property than it cost. The fact that Philip was the estimator and was the best worker on the job insured that I received what I was promised. When additional work needed to be done I wondered what the final charges would be. To my surprise the charges were far less than I expected. I look forward to working with Philip again. read more

Philip Howard has done great work for us over the years. He really made me happy today. I called him two days ago with a big worry that I had about dry rot and water leaking into my house. He came over right away and took all my fears away. He is so knowledgeable, trustworthy and professional that I have complete faith in his ability to fix our issue in a timely fashion and at a fair price. Philip is an incredibly good guy and a perfectionist so I know that I can rest assured our problem will be fixed the correct manner. He put a swimming pool in our backyard that has given us years of pleasure, a deck that is absolutely magnificent and still looks brand new (so well build on top of that) and I look forward to working with him in the future on home remodeling. I will sleep well tonight thanks to having the good luck to know such a competent contractor. Thank you Philip for your attentiveness. read more

We had Howard Construction as our contractor for a major renovation project for our b&b this summer which included 5 (!!!) bathrooms, plumbing, electrical, tearing down walls, putting up new walls, installing header beams, and so on and Phil Howard and his crew really did an outstanding job with everything. With the building being over 136 years old, there were more than a few surprises, all of which were handled professionally and timely by Phil and his team. Two of his journeymen who spent the most time on our job, Joe and Jorge, were great to work with. All of his subs were great too, and we'd definitely recommend Howard Construction to anyone looking to complete a project, large or small. Oh and they are also great to work with on the administrative side with timely, accurate, and detailed invoices at each stage of the project, and that really made the process easier. read more

I cannot recommend Howard Construction enough! Phil and his crew accomplished what was essentially a miracle for me this summer, making my garden wedding a reality with only a minimal amount of time - 5 weeks! They were reliable, kind, efficient, respectful, skilled, professional and went over the top in their efforts. Phil checked in with me regularly and impressed me with his thoughtfulness and thoroughness. The crew was wonderful! They removed broken concrete and replaced it with a lovely stamped patio, completed work that a previous contractor had not, working inside and outside my home to make everything come together. These are the people I will call for any and all future work. Thank you, Phil & all your crew, you made this Kindergarten Teacher a very happy lady and impressed me with your excellence! read more

I had the pleasure of working with Phil and his crew earlier this year on two bathroom remodels. It was a surprise project as a long-time water leak suddenly became visible, so I hadn't quite prepared for the expenditure. First, I will note that I'm pretty fussy when it comes to dealing with people in business and Phil was the first (and only) person with whom I spoke who sounded like he knew what he was talking about. He was also great in working with my rather modest budget and was a fantastic communicator. I felt very involved in every step of the project. Everyone on his crew was very professional. They showed up on time and cleaned up before leaving for the day. Both bathrooms look beautiful! I highly recommend working with Phil and will now be using him for all of my upcoming projects. read more

The beautiful hardwood floors in my living room, dining room, family room and entry way were installed quickly and expertly by Howard Construction. They are the first thing that catches the eye as you enter my home. Other jobs done on my home by Howard Construction include: completely tiling the floors in my kitchen and two bathrooms which made an amazing difference; putting in skylights in my kitchen and master bath giving me much more light and saving on my electric bill and installing kitchen appliances. I'm very pleased with the work and the professionalism and would recommend them to anyone. read more

We highly recommend this company. read more
