Greg and his crew are incredibly meticulous. The deck they made for us is absolutely a work of art. Just beautiful. We won't need another deck for 30 years because this one is so perfect, but if we did, we'd hire Elephant Builders all over again.

Greg was professional in all aspects of the project that I hired him to do. He rebuilt a deck to my specifications and I am totally empressed with the outcome. He rounded off all exposed edges of the deck! WOW! How is that for “finishing” work. You will not be disappointed if you hire Greg.

We hired Gregory Gardner, owner of Elephant Builders, to do an extensive remodel. The job consisted of converting an inadequately enclosed back porch into a fully enclosed laundry/utility area and a full kitchen remodel. For the back porch, extensive structural shoring up needed to be done���a new foundation and revamping of roof supports. He leveled the floor (it's flat, no bounce!) constructed new insulated walls, added new windows, and built a shower room with sliding door and tiled-in shower stall. Gregory was mindful of the style of the house and did his best to make the new trim on the back porch/laundry area match that of the rest of the house. In the kitchen he replaced the damaged ceiling, put down sub flooring, repaired walls, tiled back splashes, and tiled a niche for an antique cook stove. New appliances, cabinets, light fixtures, counter tops, and flooring were installed. Wall repair was done, flooring, tiled back splashes, a sink, cabinets, countertops, and appliances were also installed in a "butler's pantry." Gregory is skilled at many aspects of the remodeling process. He did much of the work himself and has established good relationships with a designer, engineering services, a cabinetmaker, and various trades people necessary to complete the job. All work was done in compliance with code. As the house was built in 1911, there were lead paint and asbestos issues which were dealt with properly. Gregory is a conscientious and considerate person and an amazingly hard worker. If you appreciate a hands-on approach, especially regarding the structural aspects of a job, Elephant Builders is a company you should consider. He was a pleasure to work with.

Great experience and very happy with the finished product! Greg made helpful suggestions along the way during our project to add a new bathroom to our house. Communication through the project, from design to completion was top quality. And he stayed on time and on budget! Highly recommend.

Gregory replaced our old deck with a new one including a "picture frame" perimeter. It looks beautiful. Significantly better than the old deck did. He was very reasonable to work with on design and construction decisions and schedule. I particularly liked his communication responsiveness - answering EMAILs and phone calls promptly.

**This is a MUST read** before you make a decision on choosing a builder. I can not express enough how pleased and completely satisfied I am with the finished project that I hired Elephant Builders to create. I say "create" because Greg is an artist as much as he is a builder. Greg Gardner of Elephant Builders, LLC built the most beautiful deck on my property. He listened to my ideas and delivered a product that far exceeded my own vision. Here is a breakdown of my rating: Professionalism: Extremely professional, kept me in the loop of all things related to my project. Always showed up when he said he would be there and left his work area cleaner than when he arrived. Price: Extremely competitive when comparing price and quality of work. I wont hesitate to hire Elephant Builders for my next project. Kindness: Greg was approachable and my wife and I appreciated his ability to connect with us with genuine intent. Thank you Greg for your hard work. You are an artist. Looking forward to working with you in the future.

Gregory did a total demo of our 1924 kitchen and built a period style back porch onto our home. We were able to live in our home throughout this long project; everyone did a great job of communication and cleanup daily. The resulting kitchen and porch is beautiful, so functional and earning rave reviews from neighbors, friends and family. Though it went a bit beyond time frame, all work was well done and stayed on budget! Update 7-21-2021------6 1/2 years ago, Gregory remodeled our kitchen and built new porch. 2 years ago, we replaced piece of rotted trim.on porch. This year we noticed crack in floorboard and discovered extensive rot in structural post, sheathing, trim. We discovered use of interior ply, non galvanized fasteners, unprimed surfaces, partial tar paper wrap. He says we did not maintain or used inferior paint- neither true. CHECK YOUR JOB, BUYER BEWARE!

Gregory built an addition to an existing fence. He moved a gate to the end of the new section and built a gate where there was no gate previously. He and his crew were very professional and completed the project on time and on budget. I am very pleased with the results.
