Great experience with the Preferred Construction Team. We’ve used for two separate projects and excellent work both occasions; covered porch addition and new roof. Top notch work and great communication. Highly recommend for your next project.



Tim’s team were prompt in providing us an estimate on one of our home renovations. They were experts in identifying what we needed and did a great job in the measurements and estimates. As an added bonus, they even had an in-house designer to help bring the concept to paper (and then reality). Preferred Construction is a great company to work with - you won’t go wrong with their expert service!



I have worked with this company for several years now. I refer them to my clients and they have practically remodeled our entire home as well. A lot of things can go wrong with a whole home renovation depending on who you hire. They consistently knock it out of the park for us. I trust this company 100% and would HIGHLY recommend them.
