TESTIMONIALS
Hear from Our Clients
Our association with Carlson Harris spans over many years. Some of the projects were small, some moderately large, and the last project consisted of a 21,400-square-foot office building construction. Each and every one of the projects were pleasant experiences beginning with the planning, actual construction, and servicing thereafter. They were always pleasant, professional, and timely. Should we have the need for services in the construction field again, I would feel confident to obtain their services and recommend them to my friends. —Adam Fueredi, M.D., FACR
Gary Carlson and Carlson Harris Contractors are the best! Gary was our general contractor and builder when building our house in Port Royal in Y2001-2003. It was an absolute delight to work with him. He was on top of everything, no surprises, and as things changed, we sat down with him and resolved quickly. Our decorator told us she had never worked with a builder as accommodating as Gary. Most importantly, our house was completed on budget and on schedule! If we were to build another house tomorrow, Gary Carlson would be the builder with whom we would do business. Gary Carlson’s attitude is “give the buyer what they want, even if the changes are difficult.” Deadlines are met and the quality of work is exceptional. If you want to build a house–HASSLE FREE–we would highly recommend Gary Carlson and Carlson Harris Contractors. —Ned C. & Cindy Lautenbach
