 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience working with Jay and Trey Walden on our home renovation. They did an amazing job from start to finish.
One of the things I appreciated most was their communication and involvement throughout the entire project. They were consistently here during each phase of the renovation to make sure everything was being done correctly and that the work met their standards. It was reassuring to know they were personally involved and making sure everything was done right.
They also consistently had people here working to keep the project moving and were always helpful with ideas and recommendations along the way. Their knowledge and suggestions made the renovation process much easier and helped us make decisions we were really happy with.
Another huge plus was that they finished the project in exactly the amount of time they originally estimated. That level of communication, organization, and follow-through is hard to find with home renovations.
We are extremely happy with how everything turned out and would definitely recommend Jay and Trey to anyone looking for reliable, professional, and hardworking renovators/builders. They did a fantastic job!

He was always forthcoming on what was scheduled and what charges were accrued through the process. The guys he sent over were professional and cleaned up each day. Everyone was always on time. Jay personally checked in on the work throughout the project. Our remodel was done during a very busy time at work and Jay worked around my work schedule. Nothing bad to say about these guys. Would highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The transformation truly speaks for itself! Our new build was the definition of “greige” overload—bland and lifeless. The moment we closed, my very first call was to the Walden’s to help turn this house into a home. From start to finish, they were incredible to work with—professional, creative, and efficient. The entire process was seamless, and the results exceeded our expectations. I absolutely recommend the Walden’s to anyone looking to remodel or breathe new life into their space!
