Projects include a new front entrance, a complete kitchen gut remodel, the gut and remodel of a cramped attic into an amazing home office and gym plus several smaller projects. The process is always clear and concise, the work impeccable and the people - both HGB employees and subcontractors - top notch!

The team at Howell was highly recommended, yet still exceeded our expectations in all phases of redesign and renovation. Starting with thoughtfut consultation throughout the design process leading into the detailed work by the contractors, the team at Howell was consistently professional, highly skilled and visionary in the re-immagination of our home. Our design team of Ben, Rick (Benjamin Nutter Architects) and Steve P, and Steve H worked closely with us to design a home that our family could enjoy for years to come. The project team, led by Bill and Blaire, was always enjoyable and easy to work with throughout the process. The highly skilled expertise of Emile, George, Brian, Tim and Steve D, brought the design to reality with quality craftmanship that thoroughly impresses everyone that has seen our home. We are so thankful to have worked with such a great team, full of amazing people that truly care. Thank you Steve, Susan and all of the team at Howell Custom Building Group for helping make our dream home a reality.

We knocked down an entire wing of the house and rebuilt it. We also took the opportunity to modernize the heating and AC systems and a number of other related projects. We lived in the house while all this was going on! This was a big project complicated by the age of the house and other factors. We are pleased to report that the project was done precisely on schedule and under budget! For a project of this scope you quickly realize that you are living with the contractor and his various teams. The Howell team could not have been better in terms of just being pleasant to be around , Doing work of the highest quality in a very efficient manner. Of course, issues come up that were unanticipated and the Howell team does a great job of keeping everything on track and communicating in a clear and proactive manner. We could not be happier with the results. Our home is much more attractive and comfortable.. we can use rooms now that were freezing before. We highly recommend the Howell team. They have a tremendous depth of resources and they deliver on all their promises. We received many wonderful complements about our house and the project.

I hired them to do the work on my own personal residence. They built a new deck and had several major structural issues that they addressed. They were detail oriented, kept me updated on their progress and presented alternative materials or methods which was really helpful. I appreciated the whole format that they used;weekly meetings, scheduled invoices. Everyone that worked on the project was professional and extraordinarily helpful.

From the design process to the continued support after the end of the project has been nothing short of perfect. They have developed relationships with subcontractors that are reliable and professional and some that even go beyond expectation. Once my walls were opened up they saw and cleaned up pipes and wires that were not in use and the painters returned twice to repaint a color I didn't like. The crew are highly qualified and experienced and a pleasure to work with. I would not work with anyone else now.

The project was budgeted accurately, the team highly professional and expert in their respective crafts. They really cared about the outcome of the project and it showed. We lived in the house during a massive kitchen renovation, and they took the utmost care to ensure our lives were disrupted as little as they possibly could be. The super on our project was at our house daily for 6 mos, and that isn't enjoyable with just anyone. We would highly recommend this firm to anyone looking for expert craftsmanship, attention to detail, and a superb process.

We hired Steve Howell and team to help us redesign the most important room in the house, our kitchen. The end result has transformed our home of more than 10 years. Every person we interacted with, from project developer, project manager, designers to carpenters, were committed to one and only thing, seeing our vision come to life. Incredible craftsmanship was complemented by business savviness and genuine pride in their craft! Couldn't be happier.

The staff and subcontractors were highly skilled and very professional. I am a little reluctant to post a “rave review” for fear that Howell will get too busy to return to my house for future work. But there is no denying that They earned every one of the five stars I gave them.

Design phase was thoughtful and construction went without a hitch. Work was meticulous and on time. Communication was excellent throughout the project. Highly recommended!!! LikeAugust 24, 2017 Xiaoying Zhong Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars Relationship Client We remodeled 3.5 bathroom using Howell Custom Building Group and it was a very pleasant experience. What I liked most about Howell was - Attention to detail. This is reflected in both how they approached the design and the day-to-day construction. Nothing is too much trouble for them as long as it is the right decision from a functional and aesthetic perspective - Project Management. Our project was more than six months, but we never felt any inconvenience. The crew were friendly, professional and very careful in protecting the property. More importantly, this is not a crew that just rigidly follow the schematics. sometimes something that looks great on paper may not be the best idea in practice and the crew will always give suggestions on workarounds / better ways to address. - Communications. We were always kept abreast of the latest progress / next steps. So even though the whole project was longer than we expected, we just never had that anxiety. Also, they never "disappear". Text or email, we always had full and very timely access to the project manager. I am so glad we found Howell and look forward to working on more projects with them in the future Read More LikeFebruary 25, 2017Last modified:March 15, 2017 Load All 31 Reviews Back to Navigation 59 Comments Commented: FloorsThis is 1/25&quot; Maple flooring August 25, 2021 Commented: Wow!
