Howard Construction LLC

I would never recommend this company to anyone!!! In April of 2009 I had a tree fall through the back part of my home. My insurance company USAA gave me the option of using one of their contractors so I would not have to gather estimates on my own. Howard Construction came out to my house, they seemed very kind and concerned. They were only going to patch the roof but finally agreed with me that a total replacement was needed. My contract, the second building permit they pulled and the Notice of Commencement they filed all said Replace Roof. I thought I got a complete roof replacement. Fast forward to May 2025. After a heavy rain storm I started seeing water stains in the ceiling of my family room. I had a roofer come out to see if it could be repaired since I thought I still had 4 or 5 years of life left in my roof. He proceeds to tell me that my roof was only patched in 2009 not replaced. I had two other roofing companies come out to confirm this is true. Not only did they not replace my roof in 2009 but the work that they did was not good. I now have to get a new roof and I have to figure out where the money is going to come from. It has caused me much distress and heartache that a company that I did not choose (my insurance company did) would not do the work agreed upon. I will make it my mission to be sure as many people know about this and that this company should not be in business.

After working with Don Towery for the past several months on the repair of our home, I am writing this review to give Howard Construction 5 stars. Our home was damaged during Hurricane Idalia back in August 2023. After dealing with a different contractor for 15 months that did shoddy work, Don with Howard Construction was assigned to our case in November 2024. At that time, I was very untrusting due to everything we had been through but Don earned our trust. Don was very kind, did what he said, was very transparent and honest, explained everything, uncovered the shoddy mistakes of the previous contractor, and made things right. Once we got past the engineering needed to correct the work of the previous contractor, the progress of the repairs went quickly. Don went above and beyond, ...always working on our behalf. We are back in our home and are very thankful Don was assigned to our claim .

After experiencing a house fire in February, we chose Howard Construction to take on the construction of our home. First of all, they were highly recommended by everyone we spoke to and they proved their work from the first time we met with them. Mike Galaska managed our project and he was so wonderful to work with. He was very professional, honest, prompt, and extremely easy to communicate with. All of the people who worked with him were compassionate, hardworking, and did an excellent job. We are forever grateful for entrusting them to put our house back together even better than it was before!

We hired Howard Construction after having a house fire in September 2022. They did a fantastic job of repairing the house and completing changes in the house during the process. Working with Mike Galaska was also great. He notified me when I needed to make decisions during the process. He was provided helpful suggestions. The home is actually better than it was before the fire. Mike was also responsive when we identified a few areas that still needed to be touched up after we moved in.
