In our search for a general contractor, Palace was one of the most professional and accessible companies. I called many contractors and often got no answer or a generic voicemail. But Palace actually answered the phone. I spoke with the office manager who was very courteous and accommodating. Kyle came out to do our estimate in a timely manner. He was punctual, professional, pleasant, knowledgeable, and efficient. He provided us with a very detailed estimate that same day. He followed up with a phone call to ensure we got it. Compared with other companies where we encountered blatant disregard

I had to wait until they finished the place next door before writing this for fear of more retaliation. They have been working on my neighbors place for 3 months and until a few weeks before we never made a complaint about the noise or anything. Then there was a worker who decided to park outside my balcony door/window. It's not a parking spot and no one wants someone's car against there space like that. We have our door open to let air in. I don't want to look at your car. I went out and said "Hi can you please move because others will think this is a parking spot too and then

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with the guys from Palace Construction. The timing of this flood was awful, but Palace really bent over backwards to accomodate our needs...especially during COVID. We were particularly impressed by their subs attention to detail and quality of work! JR was an excellent supervisor. Highly recommeded!

My condo had water damage. My insurance sent Palace Constuction. I really do not have any way to compare. I have not worked with contractors. it was not the best experience. They had to redo the the dry wall because they did not float it. I just knew it looked awful. I have friend who is a retired contractor who informed me why it looked bad. That delayed things. Plaace should have known to do that and not have had to redo it. They did not cover my countertop to protect when they painted. I am looking at the poor workmanship on the baseboard on living room now. I had not noticed

We had severe interior water/sewage damage to our home and were looking for a contractor to complete a large rebuild project (over $100K). We previously had multiple contractors out to the house but hadn't decided on who we wanted to work with. Our insurance company recommend "Palace", so we decided to give them a call. After explaining the severity of the damage, we scheduled an appointment. Kyle came out to the house (he was late for our appointment) to assess everything and take measurements. After nearly 2 hours, he indicated I would receive an estimate "by the end of the
