Enjoyed working with Jim and Brandon to get our garage completed. Jim kept us updated as we watched our project come to life.

Jim and Brandon built an addition on our house in Northside Richmond last year and we love it! Jim's communication was outstanding throughout the process. Issues arise with any project, especially one on an old house like ours, and he quickly resolved them for us. He helped us with every aspect of this project from finding a great architect to draw the plans, working with the City of Richmond for permits and inspections (which is not easy), to helping us select the appropriate materials and appliances. I can't say enough about how great the communication was because we have busy schedules with work and small children and Jim kept us updated through every step. We appreciate the attention our project was given and would recommend Glave Construction to anyone needing a new build, addition, or remodel. Thank you for everything!

We contacted Glave Construction in October 2022 to frame a 5,000 square foot addition to our house. We were managing the project ourselves. Jim gave us a great price for the job. It involved a lot of complicated framing because it connected to the original house at a 105° angle. Our structural engineer had laminated posts and beams in a lot of places. There was also steel pipe columns inside some walls and running from the foundation supporting steel I-beams. Jim and his crews knew exactly how to install it all. Jim went well beyond the scope of his work by giving us advice on other aspects of the build and calling in other contractors to help with things like the architect designing the stairs for 8' ceilings even though he designed it to be 9' ceilings. Jim's "expert" framer quickly did the calculations and came up with a solution. Anytime we contacted Jim he was very helpful and responsive. His son, Brandon, and helper Nick did some extra framing to make the fireplace fit. Again, the architect miscalculated the dimensions. They did several other specialty framing areas and were very meticulous in getting it all done perfectly. When Glave Construction was finished the drywall contractor commented about how easy it was to hang the drywall due to the framing being straight and square.

Everyone with Glave Construction was very professional. They showed up when they said they would and worked very hard to get the job done right. We never heard a complaint from anyone and their answer for everything we asked was always "yes, we can do that". We will definitely use them in the future for any other projects we may have.

A family business and the best contractor I have ever worked with. If you want a contractor to build you something with the quality and attention to detail they would expect for their own home, then look no further!

Excellent work! Jimmy and Brandon have done several jobs at our home and we have been extremely pleased. I would definitely use their services again. I highly recommend Glave Construction.

Glave Construction did a garage for us. He built exactly what we wanted. My wife has a business at home and he was able to work around that. It’s nice to deal with someone that still treats clients as people and not just a check.
