They did everything the said they would do.

Great builder. Love my well built river house. Only construction firm that was capable (and willing) to construct the unique house design I chose that was published in Southern Living. No architect needed as Cook Bonnor got the plans for me and built it perfectly. In addition, Cook Bonner was involved with every design change and offered interior and exterior advise for colors, fixtures and decorations saving me time and doing it better through their professional staff from the start to the end. Project completed timely and no worry on quality from this builder who has been in business for over 20 years with no risk of folding (bankruptcy) like so many start up or less experienced companies. Put your trust in Cook Bonner for your home and never worry because they are experts as well in the homebuilding industry and offer great customer service for long term relations after the project is complete should I desire any addition or renovation.

Cook Bonner Ebeling Construction was a pleasure to work with. I was both impressed and pleased with the quality of workmanship throughout my home. They were also great at keeping us informed on timelines and what was progressing on the work site. I would highly recommend them to anyone interested in building their home!

Through out my entire project, I never once doubted the honesty and integrity of the Cook/Bonner family. For me trust was of utmost importance, and I was not disappointed. They explained things I didn't understand with patience and clarity and always listened when I had a question or request. They were diligent in their determination to create the home I had in my mind - and they did just that.

I could not have been more pleased with the process of building our lovely home that was provided by the entire team of Cook/ Bonner. Rather than just a business, there seems a family atmosphere that is full of integrity and caring, first for their clients, as well as the home, itself. They strived to construct the best quality home possible!! That kind of pride is hard to come by in today's home market.

Cook Bonner was more than our builder or contractor -- they were a trusted partner in the creation of our new home. At every phase of the process, from estimating and review of our architect's plans to the final close-out and punch list, they were thoughtful, thorough, and exacting. Their staff is personable and caring, while also being absolutely professional and reliable.

Cook Bonner Construction was a godsend to us. We had to previously part ways with another GC who left our project in shambles, our pocketbook withered, and our trust in the gutter. George Cook, Rick Bonner, and Derrick Lucas, revived our project and our confidence. They listened to our concerns and worked with us on design perimeters, material quality and installation desires to our satisfaction. They stand behind their commitment to quality and integrity while staying on schedule and budget. Would we recommend Cook Bonner to others? Absolutely!

Areas Of Satisfaction
Areas Of Satisfaction - I liked the confidence I had in their ability to do what they said they were going to do.
Lisa B.
Even though adding a screened in porch sounds like an easy job, this one was not. With complicated roof lines to be tied in and a curved deck that we wanted to keep, the project turned out to be quite a big one! However, the whole back of my house has been transformed and looks like the porch has always been there. What a lovely and gracious addition - not sure how we did without it! A pleasure to work with this team.
Dennis C.
It has been a real pleasure working with Cook Bonner on our house. They have respected our wishes and have sought to please us on every issue that has come up. I absolutely would recommend this company for any construction project, residential or commercial.

We are very happy with our renovated kitchen and porch. Cook Bonner worked with us to make sure all our ideas became reality. Our space is much more functional and looks fantastic. We highly recommend them and will be using them in the future for our bathroom renovations.

Review of Oak Crest Roofing by Chester M.
Initially they contacted me and everything was done in a timely fashion.After the damage to my gutters the communication lacked. It was not done in a timely fashion. And I feel that had I not pursued the it it would have not been done.
