Working with Ashley Melton on our new home was a pleasure. He was honest, flexible for changes, and met all of our requests in the details required in construction. Even after moving into the home, he is available if we have questions or need help. He is a true professional and develops trusting relationships. Thank you Ashley!

Ashley Melton homes or quality build houses. The repair Crew he has covered up rotten wood. Installed Windows & siding that leaked in had to be replaced. This is not the proper place for honest people to work. I will not hide flim-flam work.
