>>Our History
Windom Construction began in 1885 when Cicero Windom started a small business making home furniture and traveling chests. Simon, his oldest, continued as a woodworker and a general contractor in North West Georgia. His oldest son, Neal began in the work, served in the Army Air Corps in WW II, and then became a prominent Methodist minister in North Georgia.
Robert Windom, the CEO, began construction work in 1964 and served his apprenticeships in the trades under the watchful guidance of Robert Story a prominent general contractor from Lilburn, Ga. After completing his formal education (Young Harris AA, Birmingham-Southern BA, and Emory University M Div), and serving for 5 years with the N GA Conference of the UMC as an Inner City Minister, Robert reestablished the family old business in 1976 and began work rebuilding the older homes and places of worship of the Old Town Atlanta. In the late 80's he took time-out to supervise projects in Manhattan, remote NW Colorado, California and Hawaii.
He was in Hawaii for eight years, initially building a church sanctuary in Kailua, Oahu, and a home for Sylvester Stallone on Kauai. He assimilated into the island culture well and became a licensed Hawaii General Contractor and a member of: Construction Specifications Institute CSI of Hawaii, the Chamber of Commerce of Hawaii, Associated Builders and Contractors ABC of Hawaii, and the Building Industry Association BIA of Hawaii (The largest Trade Association in the state with over 740 members. Robert was elected to serve on the Board of Directors of BIA for his last two years in Hawaii). Windom Construction Co. in Hawaii was active in the commercial, custom residential, and home renovations market.
Family health concerns in Atlanta brought Robert back to Atlanta from Hawaii. Windom Construction Co. in Georgia is active inside I-285 working on renovation, restoration, preservation, and new additions for older residential structures.
>>What Windom can Do for You
As a certified Earth Craft homebuilder and renovator we have a special interest in planetary stewardship and diligently work to create and transform dwellings in such a manner that they become not only comfortable, aesthetically pleasing spaces for living, but also contribute to a more energy efficient environment to enable a sustainable future.
We are also a EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm, a necessity in today's remodeling and renovation environment. Common renovation activities like sanding, cutting, and demolition can create hazardous lead dust and chips by disturbing lead-based paint, which can be harmful to adults and children. To protect against this risk, beginning April 22, 2010, contractors performing renovation, repair and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in homes, child care facilities, and schools built before 1978 must be certified and must follow specific work practices to prevent lead contamination. The EPA requires that firms performing renovation, repair, and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in pre-1978 homes, child care facilities and schools be certified by EPA and that they use certified renovators who are trained by EPA-approved training providers to follow lead-safe work practices.
We are equipped to handle residential construction, renovation, and remodeling projects of all sizes and difficulties: from the restoration of an early twentieth century structure to the remodeling of a modern kitchen. All project inquiries are welcome; contact us today for your free estimate.

Although Windom Construction is known for historic house restoration, I approached Bob about doing work on my modest cottage, built in 1947. There was wood rot, previous poor construction, old leaky gutters and more, and he addressed each issue. We did not know how much rot until siding and porch facings were removed; yikes, it was a lot. All repaired and improved now.

Clean
Clean - Windom Construction rented a storage unit for the job-site, which kept the area very clean.
Respectful
Respectful - Windom Construction was at all times aware of the sensitivity of the historic building he restored for me. He was meticulous about repairing and cleaning even the smallest elements instead of replacing them.
Schedule

Recognized Excellence
Recognized Excellence - Scott Windom has very strong knowledge of these old historical homes and the nature of the construction at that time. He is just very knowledgeable about the homes, he respects them, and he does make a careful effort to honour and adhere to the integrity of the home. He does a great job when he chooses materials. I think it is a great reason to select Windom if you have an old historic home because he is great at addressing those concerns.
Areas Of Satisfaction
Areas Of Satisfaction - I was most satisfied with the quality of the work. We had some small items that had to be re-added but they did very high-quality work through every aspect. Even some of the things that were more complicated. With these old historical houses, they are a great choice. We had a good experience and are very happy with the outcome of the project.

Bob Windom did great work and took extra measures to make sure that I got a product that I am satisfied with. Although the project was not huge, it was not easy since it involved repairing a wall that had undergone damage from water leaking in for possibly several years.
Additional comments
Areas Of Satisfaction
Areas Of Satisfaction - The quality of work was very good. Bob Windom assisted me in making decisions that I am happy with. An example of this is getting rid of the lazy susans in a large kitchen cabinet and going with shelves. This was not a straight forward easy remodelling project since it involved tearing out a wall and repairing damage from years of water leaks . It also involved repairing water damaged cupboards and cabinets. I appreciate the effort that Bob made to give me work that I am satisfied with.

Lead Source - Recommendation from a friend. My friend had experience with two different contractors and she thought Bob Windom was by far the better of the two contractors.
