Home Owner I cannot recommend Klay highly enough. He came over to my house to provide a quote for damage to my floor from a weather event. Klay explained what would be required & informed me of a time he would be coming to complete the job. Klay kept open communication throughout the whole process. His work was exceptional and of the highest standard. For anyone needing an honest, reliable builder contact Klay and the team. Reply: Thanks so much for the great feedback — really appreciate your kind words. Glad we could get everything sorted for you and that the process was clear and stress-free. Always aim to deliver quality work with open communication, so it’s great to hear that came through. Thanks again for the recommendation!

Klay and the team at Great Northern Construction were awesome. They helped us transform our outdoor area into a completely new and usable space with creative thinking and coming up with this built in bench seat. Great communication throughout the job and very realistic pricing. Highly recommend for his craftsmanship, attention to detail and work ethic. Will definitely be using them for our upcoming projects. Reply: Thanks so much for the great feedback! Was a pleasure helping bring your outdoor space to life — the built-in bench seat was a fun addition and really tied it all together. Appreciate the kind words around pricing, craftsmanship, and communication. Looking forward to working with you again on the next project!
