They built a home for me in about 5 months even during the COVID stuff! They did an excellent job! I was torn between choosing them or some of the other builders, and I cant be more thrilled that I chose Bardwell contractors! They come in after they finish and do multiple walk throughs to fix anything you dont love, even if it was a scuff or mark that you made while moving in. I elected to go with a lot of upgrades, and my house feels MUCH more valuable than what it costs. Their quality of materials is incredible. My friend who works for one of their competitors walked in and just laughed

Had an opportunity to tour one of their custom homes this past week (near the LSU campus) and it was nothing short of stunning. The attention to detail and the creative use of materials inside and outside of the home were unmatched.

I went to about 35 Parade of Homes houses this year and the Veranda home built by Bardwell Homes/designed by Kenneth Brown was the best!!
