Everett Whitehead & Son, Inc. is the best company in the state of Florida. They built the 17 square foot building for the Hall of Fame and Museum and my home in Lake Alfred, FL. I was incredibly pleased with the results. Call them before you make any final decision on building your business or home. I highly recommend their services!

I first heard about Everett Whitehead & Son through my Dad. They have done a bunch of small projects for him and he was always very satisfied with the completed job, so I decided to give them a call. They did a great job and I am very pleased with the services that they provided. I would highly recommend them.
