Walter Jordan Building Contractor, Inc.

“He’s the best builder we’ve ever worked with. We found him in The Good Service Guide, and he has done so much work for us. We’ve used him for remodeling, and fixing some dry rot on the front part of our house and deck. We live in a sound house now, thanks to him. He is very competent, reliable, and easy to work with. He doesn’t do unnecessary things. We wouldn’t have anybody else.”

Four Dimensions

“We loved them so much we threw them a party when our project was done. They did our whole backyard, and added in a cement patio. What they said they would do, they did, and they were always on time. We loved the whole experience.”
