Davenport Remodeling & Construction

It was Great working with them, I was able to make changes on the fly, and they accommodated them all. Strongly recommend then for any job. They have proven to me that they can handle anything thrown their way.

Bruce and his son, Matthew, did a good job on this replacement project. They gave me several options for door types and explained our options for doing the work. Because the door size was a special order I agreed to pay their door vendor directly so all they were responsible for was the labor. It took a week or so for the door to arrive. They picked it up, brought it over an quickly had it in place. They even painted the exterior for us. Very well done. Since then I have hired Bruce for several other small projects around the house and each one has been handled professionally and with a smile. He's our Handyman now!

We first hired the Davenports to rebuild a utility room which housed a water heater and well tank that was in need of reconstruction due to prolonged water damage. Bruce was very responsive and came to estimate the job the next day. His price was fair and we hired them to build the utility room and a new deck. These guys did awesome work! The deck is really well built, very sturdy and a very high level of craftsmanship. Bruce matched our roofline with the utility room rebuild and had better ideas than me with how to design it, great job! After seeing their quality of work we hired them to build an addition onto our cabin, we had been looking for someone in the area for over a year. Bruce and his sons came in on budget and on time! The new addition is excellent, we added a master bedroom, bathroom with walk in shower, laundry closet and walk in closet. The overall design and execution is extremely high quality and Bruce, Matt, and Houston were very professional about everything. We live in Fl and received pictures via text messages each day showing progress on the job. We just came home from spending a week in our new room addition and could not be more pleased. You should definitely hire the Davenports for your remodeling or constructions needs.

From the moment I called Bruce Davenport, he was prompt and courteous.  He was very honest and upfront about the possibility of the French door becoming more work once he removed it.  It turned out that he was correct.  We had significant water damage to the back of our house.  He got started right away in replacing the damaged wood.  Since Bruce, Matt, and Gary were working on repairs from the water damage, we asked them to add on a roof to our back deck.  Bruce was very helpful in making recommendations and giving us advice on all of the repairs and upgrades.  Bruce, Matt, and Gary all did a superior job.  As a matter of fact, my mother-in-law saw the great work they did and had them replace a roof and floor support to her barn/shed.  We will definitely be calling Davenport Remodeling & Construction again.

Within two days, the Davenport crew turned my cold, old siding into a tight and sealed wall. It looks great and I can live without street noise and wind blowing through the cracks. Great job AGAIN!

I purchased a new home in Georgia that had been for-closed upon by the developer. It sat a long time and was vandalized. The vandals crushed the lighting and punched holes in the ceilings and walls. A tree also fell on the roof and did some minor damage; mostly just shingles. There was some mold along the vinyl outside and the home need pressure cleaning.
Bruce Davenport was very quick to respond to my requests. I was impressed and needed the home completed in order to get the certificate of occupancy. Here was the scope of the work I requested.
Repair roof
Replace 2 outside garage door lights
Add mailbox and post
Add lock box
Power wash with borax
Install cabinet tops in kitchen with sink and faucet
Install cabinet tops in baths with sinks and faucets
Repair kitchen broken window in kitchen
Glue kitchen and bath cabinet doors separated by moisture
Remove dining room chandelier and cap off
Repair holes in ceilings
Repair holes in walls
In several conversations, Bruce indicated that I needed a sprinkler system placed in the garage in order to get a certificate of occupancy. I have a one story home with a double garage. He had also suggested wood flooring and quoted a price of 1600.00 to install because the frames would have to be removed around all the doors in order to install the click lock flooring.
This is when I became suspicious and decided to hold off on any flooring.
Unfortunately, Bruce had a terrible accident and was hospitalized. Bruce requested a check for the work completed so I sent him a check for the amount requested. Everything seemed to be going well. Until my arrival!
This is what I discovered:

window and always had an excuse as to why it was not replaced. His son would not commit to an answer but had the mom call me. F-
I would never recommend this family to anyone for any type of repair. My cabinets are ruined, my gutters are damaged and I have spent a lot of money replacing and repairing the damage done or the job that was never completed.

I obtained estimates from several companies for various parts of the renovation. Davenport Rand C was able to handle it all without having to use and deal with multiple companies. Since Davenport Rand C was local, they were quick to get out to our property to prepare an estimate. When the project started they arrived promptly when they said they would. The Davenports were able to work within my budget and provided several helpful suggestions along the way with regards to selecting materials and making the repairs so that it all looked great as well as functioned great. The home now looks great and is enjoyable to live in. We've had no issues with any of the work completed with this major renovation.
I've called the Davenports several times since the original renovation for various annual maintenance projects both big and small. They've always done great work, on budget and on-time.

Every project done by Bruce Davenport has been done timely and within his estimate, whether it was the $20,000 plus restoration project when the second floor airconditioner drain clogged and flooded two floors, storrm damage restoration, or doing exterior repairs and restaining the exterior, or as simple as replacing a damaged piece of furniture, Bruce has kept my wife and I up to date on all projects and maintained our our North Georgia home as if it was his own.

Arriving at our cabin, we noticed real quick, that the daily use of plumbing, electricity, water, etc. overwhelmed our little house. It started out with the septic tank backing up. Davenport came, dug it open and fixed it the same day. He adjusted the plumbing accordingly, while charging us a fair, affordable price. The next issue was the support beam running in the crawl space as well as in the living space in the first floor. Since we did not expect these issues, Davenport worked out a financial solution that offered immediate repair beginnings and most importantly safety. He offered several scenarios and repair options. This allowed us to shop for material with local suppliers and safe a lot of money on materials. At all times, we had full control and insight into material costs. After a complete overhaul to our support system in crawl space and first floor, we knew that no task of project is too small or too big for our reliable contractor Davenport. A complete remodel of our kitchen, new siding on the exterior walls, a new front porch, etc. followed. Each one was successful and looks pleasing to the eye. We have a list of projects and we have a partner that will get it done right, on our budget. Thank you, Davenport Construction and Design.
