Hello we offer any type of landscaping remodeling decks porches dirt work tree work and roofing ect We will guarantee to leave you with a smile We have been in the business for several years!! We are owner operated We would love to take care of your home There is no job to big nor to small

"Rhett Ellison of Ellison’s Home Improvements is a class act. I live in NC and was charged with finding a North Georgia contractor to design, build and install outside stairrails/balusters for a 1970-something home inhabited by my 80 and 84 year old in-laws, both of whom have balance & walking difficulties. Neither set of steps was built per today’s standards so simply purchasing a kit or similar was not possible. Additionally, this issue was ignored by family members until I involved Rhett. Suddenly, he’s inundated with texts/questions for which I already had answers per our discussions. However, I needed numerous written responses from him so I could forward to these individuals doubting my ability to discuss my in-law’s needs. Rhett has the patience of Job and showed such kindness in walking me thru his ideas and explaining everything to my in-laws until they were comfortable. Rhett met with my in-laws on two separate occasions to confirm their wishes regarding and comfort with the design decisions. His work also involved replacing step with a small deck/stairs. Additionally, he created a step between a living room and a later built sunroom that required a significant step down/up due to height difference & installing two outdoor wrought iron grab bars. He contacted me the same day as I posted an inquiry on Angi’s and within 2 weeks, completed the project. I wish he lived in North Carolina! Fantastic customer service, a creative mind and a skilled professional!"

Looking to remodel your kitchen or bathroom? Look no further! Chris Edwards Construction in Chattanooga is your go-to for excellent quality service. As a locally owned and operated business, we pride ourselves on delivering top-notch remodeling solutions. Contact us today!

"Great! I purchased this home in June of 2018, from MN, and had a different contractor hired to do all of the above, as of the day I closed, July 9. I was planning on moving in mid August. July 3 I found out the contractor I thought I had hired would not be able to do the job. I called Chris the morning of July 4. He met with my realtor at the house and took the job. Of course he was not able to start right away, but he had all the work completed by and I was able to move by mid September. I literally do not know what I would have done without him - I had called three other local contractors, and even tried Buildzoom and no one returned my calls. He was professional, communicative and the work that he did on my home is beautiful. I only made two trips down to the house while the work was being done and we managed to coordinate the rest via phone, efficiently. What a godsend. I am hiring Chris again in January to do a few more things I have noticed since moving in, and will continue to use him in the future. I cannot recommend him highly enough."

With over 30+ years of general construction experience, we specialize in anything residential construction. Some examples are new construction, general remodeling, kitchen and bath remodeling, basement remodeling, porches, fences, concrete, roofs, siding, gutters, and also handyman services. We pride ourselves on being able to take any job from start to finish, as we like to call it "Turn-Key" and minimize any unexpected hassle the customer may have ahead of them.

"Our initial quote included what items we were responsible for purchasing; however, at the conclusion of the job we were provided with a bill for additional materials (that added up to >1k). We asked for breakdown of additional supplies and were given three different final amounts. The quote should have stated owner will be responsible for purchasing all materials needed for the job. We brought these concerns up to Jason and he never apologized and made zero concessions. We were charged >1k in additional labor. We expected a slight increase because of subfloor issues; however, Jason also cited our choice of tile (subway tile for our shower). In addition, these additional charges were never discussed (as their contract states they would be). Installers did not clean the tile after completing the job and per Jason that was not included because we were going to paint the room. Makes zero sense and certainly wasn't turn-key. Positives- Installer noticed a manufacturers defect with the tub that resulted in us needing to order a new tub. Installer also came back to address issues we noticed within the 30 day timeframe."

"Moises and his partner were very professional. They came in, prepped, and got to work in a disciplined manner. This backsplash project was not straightforward given the tiles that we were using. When these guys were done with it it looked absolutely fabulous. I especially appreciated both their quality and the fact that they left the place just like they found it and cleaned up very well after themselves."

Major home repairs (general contractor) FAQs

A general contractor oversees a project from start to completion. They create the project’s timeline and schedule, hire, manage, and pay subcontractors and workers, and purchase and deliver building materials and supplies. They’ll also acquire necessary permits and HOA approvals, plan and execute necessary project changes, and make sure work meets quality standards.

Hiring an independent general contractor costs between 10% and 20% of your overall project cost, with larger projects incurring fees up to 25%. This fee covers complete project oversight, scheduling, and subcontractor management. The fee ranges from a few hundred dollars to tens of thousands of dollars, reflecting the full scope of the planned work and ensuring seamless coordination throughout the construction process.

General contractors typically provide estimates at no charge, but some may charge a small fee, especially for more complex projects. It's important to secure a written estimate, as it establishes a transparent agreement on project scope, labor, materials, and any additional fees. This helps protect you against unforeseen expenses and ensures clarity before the work begins.

When hiring a general contractor, you must provide an upfront deposit that ranges from 10% to 20% of your overall project cost. This deposit secures material orders, labor scheduling, and initial project preparations. An upfront deposit exceeding 50% is a clear warning sign and should prompt thorough contract verification before proceeding.
