Jacob at GB Group built our dream home and we couldn't be happier. From the first meeting, we knew he was the right man for the job. He's professional and brings years of expertise to each project he begins. We loved working with him and would do so again in a heartbeat! Quality craftsmanship is standard. He answered all of our questions and let us know through each phase what would be going on. I would recommend them to anyone who wishes to build a new home.

I highly recommend GB Group for building your custom home. Jacob and his team will work with you and for you to make sure your dream home becomes a reality. There are a ton of builders out there, but GB has been my first choice for building my custom home.

One of the worst builder in the area. Does not communicate with us the home owner and always tries to take short cuts in build. Hard to get ahold of. Never returns phone calls and his superintendent Brandon is not any better to work with. The quality of material is not good and I talked with several sub contractors they agree with the quality of material is not good. Us the home owner would be better off just building a house on our home then using Jacob or anyone in GB group. Find any other contractor in NWA to build your house!! The other reviews are fake and not been real customers of Jacob
