More Testimonials
“We
met with many architects, builders and contractors, and we knew from
our initial visit with John that he was the man for us. Knowing we
would be spending a lot of time together, it was important that we felt
a connection. John was able to take our ideas and turn them into
reality. He designed and built our home into something we never
imagined we could have. He spent countless hours walking us through
every detail of the remodel with patience, diplomacy and humor—not an
easy task between two people who have very different opinions about
what should be done! John was on the job every single day and his
attention to the quality of the work and the details was endless. If
anyone on the crew was not performing his job to John’s standards, he
would do it himself. Amazing! We lived on our property during
construction, and each day John would greet us and keep us apprised of
what to expect that day and future days. This communication was
essential for us and John had the foresight to make sure we always had
our concerns addressed before anything became a problem.”

“From first design to finished project, I found John to be professional, knowledgeable, and resourceful. The subcontractors he brought into my home were most talented and caring also. John brought a long history of experience, evident by the calm approach to each challenge. We all did our homework and were able to communicate -- with tape measure and humor. This was a wonderful project, thanks to John, who managed it so well.”
— JoAnn Prujan, Ashland, Oregon (kitchen remodel) |
"John Harpster Construction's performance was beyond the expected. The creative perspective he brought to the job, along with his experienced team of associated craftsmen, was a delightful departure from the mundane, ordinary construction operation. His ingenuity, integrity, and timely construction practices were well appreciated."
