Had some miscommunications about work my neighbor was having done to his house, but the owner was very responsive and came right over to talk about what happened as soon as he heard about it. He genuinely seemed to care and wanted to make things right.

Capital Real Estate Construction LLC recently replaced my roof and they were extremely easy to work with. The roofing crew showed up on time and were very professional. Blaine frequently stopped by checking on the progress and he would send me before and after pictures of when any wood needed replaced or if there were any issues that came up during tear off and installation. They did an amazing job with clean up and I would fully recommend them to any of my friends or relatives.
