The new house is coming along great! I have no complaints to voice. I will be using the contractor in the future. He keeps me informed of all the details, and what I like the most is that he is always in and out at the job site; making sure things are going as planned. An added bonus! is that he only uses subcontractors that he has worked with for years, so he knows the quality of there work. He did tell me up front that he was a little more expensive than the other contractors, because of the experienced subcontractors he uses. That is just fine with me, being that I'm very picky about my the quality of work that I want done. He only uses quality people and that is what I want; nothing less. I do show up at the building site, and I will say without a doubt, I have seen nothing but professionalism and hard working people, and quality work being done. They all take the time to explain to me what is being done, and the next step that is planned. And I'm very impressed, because the subcontractors and my contractor are all on the same page! Mr. Barkley is making my new house building project, very easy, fun, and stress free!! He keeps me informed of the budget all the way! I highly recommend him for anybody, actually I'm scarred to give him a good review here, I have other building plans for him and I don't want him to be to busy! LOL! But honestly, I'm very picky about the quality that I want; if he can pass my expectations, I have no doubt that he will satisfy anybody!

Ron Barkley did very, very good quality work in our home addition. He is very thorough, and uses good quality material. The quality is just as good behind the sheetrock (ie what you can't see) as that which you can see. We have 2 x 6 studs in the walls, and highest rating insulation. He discusses costs up front, and gives a detailed estimate. He will tell you up front that his estimate will not be the cheapest in this area, and does try make the estimate slightly higher to allow for changes/unexpected things. He will ask us what type items we want: we chose the insulation rating, the model of window (we chose the most energy efficient), and of course tile/granite, paint colors, fixtures. We did choose nicer things, which did push us over the original estimate. Unless you request it, he will not estimate for things such as tile, granite, colored/imprinted cement, etc. Some of the things he does are subcontracted, but he is very particular with whom he uses and all subs did a great job. He is very professional and very courteous. He is an honest person, which I feel is the most important trait in someone to build a home. You will not be disappointed. Please note this is a different business from Barkley Lumber.
