Jerry came to my house asked me how much I would like to spend on my kitchen I said 35 to 40 thousand. I explain to him I did not want new lighting or flooring all I wanted was cabinets countertop backsplash. He advised me to go to Home Depot. My impression was if I'm not gonna spend 60 to 100,000 on my kitchen he wasn't interested. I'm not a contractor maybe my price is a little ridiculous like the way he made me feel.

We wanted the bath tub surround removed and replaced. Rob and Sterling took special care not to scratch or mar our floors or the new bath tub we have. They treated our home as if it were their own. Their work is beautiful and we love showing it off. Service: Bathroom remodeling

Jerry Harris Remodeling completed several exterior projects on my home including: demo and replacement of a failing garage wall, replacement of rotten siding and trim, custom windows replacement, exterior door replacement, gutter and downspout replacement, and painting of entire house exterior. I was pleased with the whole work process from first contact to the walk-thru estimate to how the contract spelled out all the details of the job, including when each phase of the work would start and be completed.
The crew performing the carpentry, masonry, painting, gutters etc were all experienced professionals and did everything I asked for. All the employees were super easy to work with and kept me up to date on the job every step of the way. Thank you for the excellent work on my home; I will not hesitate to contact you in the future and sincerely recommend you to other folks needing professional home remodeling.

We went with Jerry Harris Remodeling for our Sun room addition (which also included changing out windows in our Master to accommodate the new roof line, as well as replacing the double doors at the back of our home and replacing some floor where the old door had leaked). They were very accommodating of our desires and incorporated them into the design. Excellent communication throughout the entire experience by the entire team.
Their attitude the whole time was always, "If there's a problem, we'll make it right", and they came through in spades. They also managed to stay on budget despite a few changes that were made during construction! We are very pleased with the work, and happily recommend them for any of your remodel needs.

Jerry Harris remodeling did a fantastic job! I had 2 room addition to my house and they did exactly what was originally planned. They were very professional and friendly. I had the peace of mind that my house is safe every time they come in to do some work when I am not around which was the most important thing to me, safety of my family. We encountered a couple of problems but they fixed it right away.
They also helped me with my budget, very honest with me. The quality of their work was exceptional. Interior and exterior looks really good and matched my house perfectly. I highly recommend this company!
