I worked with Barry Fennell, director of remodels at Wardell Builders. Barry is extremely competent in what seems to be just about everything. He is also very-hard working, honest, kind, pleasant, detail-oriented, and has a great sense of humor. Barry came in to redo and complete a remodel that another general contractor had botched and more or less abandoned. it was a complicated situation and not one that most other contractors would take on.

If I could give Wardell 10 stars, I would. In a previous remodel working with a different company, we had a terrible experience - so we were quite wary when we decided to remodel our new house. Terry Wardell and his team were so professional and accommodating in all respects - they couldn't have made us feel more confident in our choice to hire them. Our superintendent was attentive and was always several steps ahead of what was going on so everything was done in a very timely fashion.
