Report
Steele Construction built our house in the Fern Mountain development, and we could not be more pleased with our experience with them. We would highly recommend Steele Construction to anyone looking to build. They do quality work, and Bill, Wes, and Don have been great to deal with through the entire process. They have always been available and have always been willing to answer our questions and explain what was going on in the process. Every single one of their sub-contractors that we met during construction was courteous and professional and were all willing to stop work and talk to us about
