White Oak built my cabin in Townsend last year. You couldn't work with a better professional, honest, ethical company. They made suggestions that made the cabin look gorgeous and built to last with minimum maintenance. Gil made suggestions that I would have never thought about for inside and outside lighting, beam work, pegged floors.

Outstanding construction company and people. White Oak assisted me with an exterior renovation project. Before contacting White Oak I reached out to several trade contractors and priced out different aspects of work. I wanted to avoid paying a fee to a GC, figuring I could coordinate and manage the work myself and save some money. It didn’t take long to realize I had underestimated how difficult it is to manage even a small project. After I resolved myself to hiring a GC, I contacted Gil at White Oak. Gil and his team were very responsive and informative. He reached out to his trusted subs and

White Oak built a deck on the back of our house. We recently downsized from a much larger house that, through the years, I had done most of the work on myself, including building two decks. More than anything else, age prevented me from building this one and I was a bit anxious about someone doing the work I had always done. I had no reason for concern, the crew from White Oak did a great job and took the amount of care I would have taken if I had built the deck. I am more than satisfied with their work.

I had a house fire and was having a hard time finding a contractor. Then someone told me about Gill and White Oak Construction. That was the best advise I could have received. They rebuilt my house and it is just beautiful. I will definitely use and recommend White Oak Construction to everyone.
