What Our Clients Are Saying.

Betty Patterson

We are extremely pleased with the final result of our home remodel project. The work has completely transformed the look and feel of our home. We were able to have a much more open and spacious kitchen/dining area without having to add square footage. The design and production teams were extremely competent, professional, and personable. They were a pleasure to work with.

Grace Hopkins

We had our bathroom totally remodeled. From our first meeting with Chris, everything was done in a professional manner. Kaitlyn’s design was perfect. She took my ideas and created exactly what I wanted. Jason oversaw the project and the result was beyond my expectations. I highly recommend Jerry Harris Remodeling.

Christopher B

Project was on time and on budget. Highly recommend JHR....

For over two years, I attempted to find a company to remodel my 25-year old primary bathroom. After multiple telephone calls and meetings with a plethora of companies, I found Jerry Harris Remodeling by happenstance. The customer reviews for this company are 100% accurate and you will be amazed with the efficiency and quality of their work.
Initially, I was hesitant about the remodel due to the costs; however, I am so glad that I decided to contract with this company because it operates like a well-oiled machine!

As the old adage goes, Team work makes the dream work. Jerry Harris Remodeling definitely has an All Star Team! Starting with Chris Hill, the sales manager, who conducted the initial engagement and coherently educated me about the remodeling process without using the usual overzealous sales tactics. Katlyn, the designer, collaborated with me to design my bathroom and even organized visits to several companies to select items such as faucets, tile, and countertops. She is definitely a natural in this position and kept me abreast of what the finished product would entail through her computer-generated renderings. I appreciated how Chris and Katlyn shared their vast knowledge of remodeling processes which was instrumental in my decision-making.

Everyone knows that no All Star Team is complete without an MVP – Bernie is definitely the MVP! He led the team of onsite workers (Nathan, Dakota, and tilers) who delivered a beautifully remodeled bathroom efficiently, professionally, and on time. On a daily basis, Bernie communicated the status of each project component and answered my questions (which were many!). He epitomizes the qualities of a true leader – collaboration, communication, and delegation. On one occasion, I observed Bernie leading the team as they pondered how to resolve an issue with a component of the bathroom remodel – I was impressed with his problem solving approach. Throughout the entire process, he went above and beyond to ensure that my expectations were exceeded. My husband and I appreciated his calm, humorous, and professional demeanor – even my dog was excited to see him each day! Mr. Harris definitely has a “gem” on his team!
My customer service experience with Jerry Harris Remodeling sets this company apart from others that I have patronized – which leads to the question, “Why doesn’t this company advertise on television or other media?” Because a satisfied customer is the best business strategy of all.

Kristyn Hedley

We recently completed a master bath remodel and transformed a guest room into the master closet. Jerry Harris remodeling did an amazing job from start to finish! Melody created and designed a dream bath and closet. She was spot on with every finishing touch and made selecting every detail easy. Our project manager, Bernie, was wonderful to work with throughout our 3 month project. Always checking in at the end of each day with what to expect in the coming days and weeks. His attention to detail is remarkable! Special shoutout to his team member Dakota as well for always being thorough and doing a fantastic job! Overall we are super pleased with how the project turned out and would highly recommend this team to anyone looking to do a remodel.

Will Kester

Jerry Harris Remodeling puts customer satisfaction first. The initial meetings, then picking out quartz, tile and other materials demonstrated that their primary mission was to deliver the remodeling that we wanted. This included an accurate rendering of the final design, which really helped us see what we were getting. Throughout the demo, the plumbing and electrical work, inspections and installation the foreman was there nearly every day to explain the work being performed, any delays and the projected schedule to completion. We are completely satisfied with Jerry Harris Remodeling. You definitely get what you pay for.

Fallon Morey

We hired Jerry Harris to renovate our Primary Bedroom and Bathroom suite, completely transforming a dated bedroom layout and bathroom layout into a separate bedroom space, walk-in closet, and bathroom. The results were amazing - walking into our bedroom and bathroom area now feels like walking into an upscale spa. They listened to our needs and wants and factored them into every aspect of the original quote, design process, and through the project to the final design. Our project manager Bernie was a trusted resource throughout, keeping in contact with us about every aspect of schedule, decision, updates to the plan, and at decision points. Jerry Harris provided us the outstanding service, follow-through, and of course, beautiful finished design that we were hoping for. We would recommend them or use them again for any renovation!

Sean Wolfson

We are more than pleased with the work that was done on our kitchen remodel. Our designer (Kaitlyn) was awesome and listened to every bit of input we had and provided well thought out and beautiful designs. We were provided with fantastic vendors when it came down to choosing fixtures and materials. We even used some of our own vendors if we found something we had to have or were having a hard time finding exactly what we wanted.

Our project manager (David) was fantastic as well. He was attentive and informative through every step of the process. We knew what to expect every day. If we saw something that we had questions about or needed to be addressed, he was quick to provide a solution. He was available to us after hours when necessary to accommodate our work schedules and always responded promptly.

We would not hesitate to use Jerry Harris for our next project and are in love with our new kitchen! Give them a call!

barbara jones

Everyone was professional & knowledgeable. They listened to what I wanted done and made it happen in a painless 6 week period of actual constructionl

Tara Ryan

This is actually my second kitchen remodel with Jerry Harris. We had such a good experience with them the first time, we were excited to use them when we moved.

Cord and Marcus were very easy to work with and they enjoyed seeing the wildlife in the yard 😊. Thanks to their determination, they were able to complete the project earlier than anticipated!

Even though it is a crazy time of year for my job, they were very respectful of my time and always gave me updates on where the project was and what next steps were.

The tilers were amazing and had quite job with this remodel. Everyone who worked the project was professional and did a job well done.

Oh and I can't forget my creative designers Katlyn and Chris! Katlyn graciously joined us as we made decisions and understood the vision in my head of what I wanted. I am pretty sure she was just excited to see it come to fruition as we were.

Erin Whitfield

Jerry Harris remodeling did an amazing job on our bathroom remodel! From the initial meeting to the final product, they kept my house clean and were committed to helping me find my vision. The project took slightly longer than I anticipated but I’m thrilled with the overall project.

Jodi Ramoino

We hired Jerry Harris Remodeling to update our second story, and the results exceeded our expectations. The renovation included new carpeting, fresh paint, and updates to both bathrooms. We completely gutted the main bathroom, replacing the bulky garden tub with a stunning walk-in shower.

JHR's reputation for excellence led us to trust them, and they delivered. Chris guided us smoothly through the contract process, while Mycala’s design expertise and thoughtful suggestions elevated the final look. Bernie, the Project Manager, and his skilled, friendly team handled the project with professionalism and care.

Despite the usual challenges of remodeling, the JHR team and their trusted subcontractors made the process manageable, and we’re thrilled with the outcome!

Gerald Demetriff

This is a fantastic company to contract with for remodeling. From initial contact to completion, their team stayed on task and coordinated with their subs. My project included painting the entire interior, installing LVT in 2 bathrooms, installing cabinets in the laundry room, reversing a door, and a complete remodel of the master bathroom shower. Cord Whitley, Project Manager, stayed on top of all the subs, resolved any problems the arose, and worked around my vacation. The results far exceeded my expectations. You get what you pay for. My sincere thanks to the entire Jerry Harris Remodeling Team!! You have my future business.

debbie sconing

We had a very positive experience with JHR. Chris and Melody came up with a beautiful design of our backyard deck and patio using composite decking, stamped concrete, and stone knee wall and outdoor fireplace. Rusty executed the plan nicely. As with most projects, there were delays in the project plan due to various reasons, but we are very pleased with the end product and highly recommend their services.

Eric Brandt

Everyone at Jerry Harris was very knowledgeable and friendly. The craftsmanship was top notch from all who performed work on our bathroom. Everyone respected our home, personal space and property. The whole process was laid out with time lines including inspections and payments. We were always part of the process and well-informed of progress. It is rare when a renovation goes down without problems and or frustrations, either with contractor s or work performed, but our project went very smoothly with no hitches or complaints. Would highly recommend Jerry Harris to anyone.

Gloria Blake

Jerry Harris is a great remodeling company. When I had my first meeting with Chris, he went over the entire project, set up meetings and it all went smoothly. They are professional, always on time and inform me of daily/weekly assigned work being done. I am very happy with my room addition and added master bathroom. The design team - Melody is on spot with her designs, she is a true professional about her work. My project manager - Bernie was a professional and always on time from the start to the end on my project. I will definitely refer this company to anyone who needs remodeling done on their home.

Michelle Carr

The Jerry Harris team were very professional and did a fantastic job managing our Guest Bath remodel. We are thrilled with the results and would highly recommend them.

Rick Shapiro

I am a Virginia Beach attorney. We have a screened in porch and when built we used an online company to customize clear vinyl panels over the screens, but the problem with those is that you have to keep them clean and hook them around the windows with enclosures every season you want to put them up, and then remove them for the summer season plus they’re not completely airtight. So we looked into types of windows that slide up or down over the screened area. Jerry Harris has just started (2024) installing sunspace windows systems, all the panels, slide up or down or stay closed, it’s not glass windows. It’s a strong material that is actually better. You can also get it tinted and there are very few replacement parts if something goes wrong. This company is super organized, they came out in advance and went over all the details, they showed up on time as planned, and I couldn’t be more happy with the professionalism. I highly recommend them for renovation project, and I’m attaching a few pictures of the before and after of the sunspace windows.

Steven Fairneny

Best people in the world!!!!!!

Timothy Casey

Professional and High-Quality Contractors allowed us to enjoy the process and not stress over the remodel project. Jerry Harris delivered a stunning addition to our home and Our Contractor Chris was always friendly and available for us throughout the whole build. He deserves six stars!

E Howell

Jerry Harris’ team alleviated all the stress of remodeling and provided me with a wonderful remodeled bathroom based on my envision. I couldn’t be happier with the remodel outcome. They provided wonderful design assistance with the materials selections; cabinets, tile, plumbing and lighting fixtures. Their employees and sub-contractors executed efficient project coordination and workmanship. The end result was well worth the money.
Sometimes it’s the small things that make others stand out above the crowd and I especially liked:
1) They place a company sign in your yard. This lets inspectors, sub-contractors and delivery people know exactly which house they need to be at.
2) 3D renditions of the remodeled designed space with continuous updated drawings during the design phase.
3) Daily projected work scheduling information from the project manager. Some days were non-working days and it gave me the opportunity to run some errands or plan appointments.
4) Accounting transparency of large budgeted items, which also included some credits back to me.

I would not hesitate to hire Jerry Harris Remodeling for my next project remodel.

Kathy Winter

I couldn’t be happier with our kitchen renovation - completed by the team from Jerry Harris Remodeling. From the initial consultation to the final touches, everything was handled with the utmost care and attention to detail. Our designer, Mycala, listened to our needs and created a stunning, functional space that exceeded our expectations. The construction team was prompt, courteous, and skilled. Our project manager, Cord, kept things moving along and informed us daily about what would be completed and who would be coming to do the work. The final result is STUNNING and I now have the kitchen of my dreams! We’ve received so many compliments from friends and family. I highly recommend Jerry Harris Remodeling to anyone looking for a top-quality kitchen remodel. Their expertise, professionalism, and commitment to excellence are second to none. I would not hesitate to work with them again in the future.

Mike A

The Kitchen remodel was fantasitic. Sydney and Cord did an exceptional job with the design and over seeing the project. An added bonus of completing the job ahead of schedule was much appreciated.

Zachary Weaver

Project was completed ahead of schedule! Our PM Rusty was great.

JD Vera Cruz

Jerry Harris was a great company to work with. They made my whole home renovation project easy to do while I was out-of-state. They informed me weekly of the progress and reached out if they encountered any hiccups for my inputs. I highly recommend anyone who's thinking about doing a big project to consider Jerry Harris.

Harold Brown

Our experience with Jerry Harris Remodeling over the past ten years is nothing less than outstanding!! Recently we had our front porch screened in. As a three time repeat customer we feel confident in always receiving value of product, and expert craftsmanship of service.They provide unmatched warranty of service, and stand behind it.
As a customer I experienced the benefit of sage advice from sales representative Chris Hill, and excellent support from project manager Rusty McNair. They were very informative in presenting different proposals, and advice. From conception, through completion they were always prompt, and polite in manner. Special thanks to craftsman Josh Keith for attention to detail, and Arnold Soley for material support.
In early 2024 we look forward to a fourth project in the remodeling of our kitchen. Without hesitation we wholeheartedly recommend, and endorse Jerry Harris Remodeling.

Katie Drewiske

Chris Hill was very professional and helpful in offering his professional advice. The renovation team worked diligently and seamlessly included the electrical and plaster specialists. They were always very considerate to reduce tracking any dirt or debris through the house. Highly recommend.

Laura Morse

They do the work on time and properly. They are very professional and communicate daily of the status of the project and the next steps. There were no surprises and stayed within budget.

Lorna Wallis

I have been doing an extensive house remodel /addition with Jerry Harris over the past 18 months. They are not cheap but they are the best and their quality is first class. All of their staff are professional, approachable and do not quit until everything is perfect. Could not be happier with the finished result and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a high quality remodeling company.

Ethan E

Chris

5.0!
First off, Donald and Chris were great, as were most of their subcontractors. A few small hiccups (supply chain and stuff out of anyone's control) but overall the kitchen turned out really nice! Overall, we are completely satisfied! They do great work!

Tim G

Extremely fast response time (within 45 minutes for a phone call) Spoke with them, unable to help me directly with what i was looking for. But provided me with additional contact information which eventually led me where i needed. Thank you for the excellent customer service

Erin Dunn

Great planning & design on our bathroom remodels. The whole process was easy & great communication from the start of the planning to the end result with our Project Manager.

Robert Frick

We would definitely recommend using Jerry Harris Remodeling and would use them again. We did our large master bath and walk-in closet. Everyone was professional, easy to work with, quick to respond, quality work, and made suggestions that made the work better! Special shoutout to Cord, on-site project manager, who went above and beyond with communication, managing others, organizing materials, and completing a spectacular finished product…. Also, Melody and Sydney, the designing women, who took my basic idea, thoughts, and suggestions to a whole other level that went far beyond what I dreamed of! Thank you, thank you, love it! Bob and Robin

Dee Johnson

I haven’t actually used this company HOWEVER I called to get an estimate. Although he wasn’t able to do what I needed, he referred me to a company that was and he was very pleasant over the phone.

Mark Elmore

The Jerry Harris Remodeling team were very knowledgeable and easy to work with answering the many questions I had during the design phase.
I had about 1200 sq.ft. of decking removed and a Sunroom addition added on with a complete kitchen remodel with structural changes. Wallpaper removal, plaster repair, carpet removal and new vinyl flooring and painting with additional remodeling throughout the home. Chris did an outstanding job overseeing this work and always answering my calls.
If you need any type of remodeling done inside or out give JH Remodeling a call. You will be glad you did!

Mark Elmore

Bip Kimball

Exceeded expectations for direct ship cabinets! We wanted a Waypoint dealer and did not have one in our area so I took a gamble and ordered direct ship with Jerry Harris Remodeling since he had such great reviews. Not only did they make our remodel a reality, but they came in 38% cheaper than a ½ dozen other estimates. We had two cabinets swapped out with minor flaws, no charge and received within a week. The designer covered the unexpected by ordering several filler pieces for us so I could have flawless custom final product. Cabinets are GORGEOUS and complete the mid-century modern look I was going for. My wife and I are very pleased and highly recommend.

JD Salinas

Jerry Harris Remodeling completely transformed our 90's cookie cutter master bathroom into a modern Bathroom of our dreams. I highly recommend their overall quality of work and professionalism.

Kathleen Kirsch

We wanted the bath tub surround removed and replaced. Rob and Sterling took special care not to scratch or mar our floors or the new bath tub we have. They treated our home as if it were their own. Their work is beautiful and we love showing it off.

Robert Thompson

Jerry Harris Remodeling completed several exterior projects on my home including: demo and replacement of a failing garage wall, replacement of rotten siding and trim, custom windows replacement, exterior door replacement, gutter and downspout replacement, and painting of entire house exterior. I was pleased with the whole work process from first contact to the walk-thru estimate to how the contract spelled out all the details of the job, including when each phase of the work would start and be completed. The crew performing the carpentry, masonry, painting, gutters etc were all experienced professionals and did everything I asked for. All the employees were super easy to work with and kept me up to date on the job every step of the way. Thank you for the excellent work on my home; I will not hesitate to contact you in the future and sincerely recommend you to other folks needing professional home remodeling.

Shannon Hayes

We hired Jerry Harris to install 2 lvl beams in our family room to replace 2 load bearing columns. While it doesn’t sound that hard, it was quite the project and we had several companies who did not even want to give us a bid after reviewing the structural engineering plans. We ended up getting estimates from approximately 5 other companies. While Jerry Harris was not the cheapest, we really liked their overall process. We’ve done many renovations before, and it was important that we were kept informed of the progress, any issues, etc. during the duration of the project. From the start, you have an initial meeting with the individuals who are going to be in charge of your project. Our project manager was Rusty, and he was a pleasure to work with. He always kept us informed of what would be happening everyday/who would be showing up to do the various work. He was very responsive to any questions we had and quick to address concerns. Like any project, nothing ever goes 100% smoothly, but we were happy with how issues were handled. We were emailed a progress report every Friday, which showed us exactly what was left to be done and the expected dates they would be finished. Prior to final payment, we did a thorough walk through and were able to make a final checklist of any items we felt needed to be done prior to them wrapping up for good. They completed every single item on the checklist in a very timely manner. Additionally, they do very solid work. They do not cut corners and the quality of their work shows in the end project. Overall, they are a very well run company, very professional and easy to work with. We would definitely use them again.

Brian Henry

We went with Jerry Harris Remodeling for our Sun room addition (which also included changing out windows in our Master to accommodate the new roof line, as well as replacing the double doors at the back of our home and replacing some floor where the old door had leaked). They were very accommodating of our desires and incorporated them into the design. Excellent communication throughout the entire experience by the entire team. Their attitude the whole time was always, "If there's a problem, we'll make it right", and they came through in spades. They also managed to stay on budget despite a few changes that were made during construction! 😀 We are very pleased with the work, and happily recommend them for any of your remodel needs.

JEREMY UMALI

Jerry Harris remodeling did a fantastic job! I had 2 room addition to my house and they did exactly what was originally planned. They were very professional and friendly. I had the peace of mind that my house is safe every time they come in to do some work when I am not around which was the most important thing to me, safety of my family. We encountered a couple of problems but they fixed it right away. They also helped me with my budget, very honest with me. The quality of their work was exceptional. Interior and exterior looks really good and matched my house perfectly. I highly recommend this company!
