"Purvis is a one-stop-shop. I saw their ad in NOLABABY magazine. They did a great remodel on my child’s bedroom. They found me much need storage and installed a one room HVAC unit called a minisplit that kept my window view usable. I have used other contractors from this site, but am pleased with Purvis the most. You will be too. Thanks, WS"

"Great job on my "full rebuild in 90 days or less". It's nice to see that you stick to that slogan."

"Thank you so much for the lovely paint job on our house. Sanding was kept to a minimum and we loved the fact that you didn't allow radios on your job site. Our uptown home is looking great for the upcoming holidays. Thanks Gertrude H."

"Thank you for my kitchen makeover. The walls are perfectly straight and white. Great to display my grandkids art work on. Everything was left clean and neat. Thanks for all the extras you did for us, like moving all that heavy furniture for me and repairing my favorite chair. I will recommend you to my friends.

Thanks, CL"

"I cannot thank Purvis Contracting enough for the recent work they did on my house. Although they were swamped with calls before the hurricane (Gustav). They managed to send a few guys to close in and house wrap my "wide open" house. They assured me that they will be up and running through the storm and that my neighbors and I can count on their roofing and siding crews to respond after this hurricane has passed. I strongly recommend calling Purvis to take care of your hurricane damaged home needs. No problems, no pressure, just good people doing good, rapid work. Thanks Purvis. Signed JR"

"Thank you for the beautiful granite countertop install at my west bank house flip. My wife and I were very pleased with your work and will use you again in the future."

"Purvis helped me out of a jam!!!!!!! I had a bad contractor that took payments without doing the work, then my old contractor was seen stealing materials from the job site. I found Purvis through a friend. He came in under the first guys price, so I hired him. He secured the site (no more thefts). He got the job back on track and it's due to be finished before September! I even had him add an elevator and that didn't even seem to phase him! These guys are so quick, nice and best of LOCAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Purvis did a great job on our roof. They were fast and professional. Easy to work with. We have lots of other work to be done and will definately call Purvis for the jobs."

"We wanted to rebuild our home but didn’t know where to start. Do we hire a plumber, an electrician or a roofer? Luckily, my wife ran across a sign for Purvis Contracting. We called them and they came out for an estimate. They explained the process and said they could handle all the electrical, plumbing and flooring etc. and complete it in its proper order. They told us we could be involved in as little, or in as much of the process as we wanted to. We have since signed the contract and progress is swift. I highly recommend this team of professionals."

Mar. 10, 2008

"We are also very pleased with Purvis Construction. They did a wonderful job on our rental in mid city. I made several changes on them and they seemed to "go with the flow". When the market comes back, I'll flip with them. "Local Realtor""

Feb. 26, 2008

"We were extremely pleased with the work that Purvis Contracting did for us. We had a leak somewhere in our house (that another plumber was previously unable to identify for us) that damaged our hardwood floors. Purvis returned all our phone calls and emails promptly, gave us a prompt estimate, accommodated us by scheduling work on the weekend, were always courteous and professional, and completed this relatively minor job on time and under budget. Oh and the quality of the work was excellent too. They found the leak and fixed the floor. We would highly recommend them."

Feb. 23, 2008

"Called for a house elevation estimate for the new road home money coming out. Jon and Martha were here at 8am and I already have the price. I think this is great service."

Feb. 15, 2008

"They put in a great new AC system at a super low price! I checked around, they had the best! Thank you, thank you, and thank you."

Feb. 6, 2008

"I found this contractor through a sign on Claiborne avenue. I found them to be expeditious, courteous and thorough. I would highly recommend Purvis Contracting. GH"

"Thanks for the quick response. Mardi Gras will be a blast with my new deck. On time under budget. Thanks Jon (and Martha)"

"I found Purvis Contracting through a friend (and this site). I called, got a estimate, had the work done and am very pleased. I highly recommend this company. They are truly "full service"."

Jan. 18, 2008

"I looked Purvis Contracting up after a friend told me about this site.

They finished the job much faster than they told me to expect and didn't try to charge me any additional monies.

The work they did was to keep water from getting into my properties via adding gutters, roof improvements and siding work. So far, my tenants have said there have been no new leaks.

If I had to say something that I didn't like about dealing with them, it would have to be that it took several weeks to get a bid. Of course, after contacting some 9 other companies from this site with good ratings, they were the ONLY company who actually came out and even LOOKED at my property... so, I have to say. THANK YOU!"

Jan. 17, 2008

"Thank you for the kindness and consideration you have shown us. The whole "cajun krewe" from Texas can't wait to move back. Thanks for the free estimates and the emailed photos to our insurance company, we will be in touch."

Jan. 17, 2008

"Thanks for the rapid estimate, you got the job. Others were way too high and most were from out of town. We go local. Thanks......BEB"

Jan. 12, 2008

"Quick response time, quality work, will use again."

Jan. 6, 2008

"Thanks for the free estimate. Pricing was lower than the other two contractors and with a great reputation to boot. You got the job. Keep doin'n people right! Thanks "Cowboy""

Jan. 6, 2008

"Quality and price were great. I was a little worried about the previous two negative reviews, but after my wife said to go ahead, I'm very glad we did. Workers were quick, clean, professional and courteous. I would definitely use this contractor again. We are very happy."

Dec. 21, 2007

"Great tile job in 2 days. It's flat, squared and looks wonderful. I highly recommend Purvis Contracting, they are a delight to work with, and left the work area spotless. Actually, cleaner than what it was before they came! LOL....JOYCE"

Dec. 18, 2007

"Thank you, thank you, and thank you. The Jacuzzi tub looks great. Thanks for not letting my cats out. Thanks for the Christmas card. I will use you again! P.S. Angies list has good referrals on ya'll too, did you know that? Love, Carol L."

Dec. 13, 2007

"Thanks for the quick response to my water heater problem; I know you guys are swamped. Thanks"

Dec. 11, 2007

"Well, I'm back..... I was the guy that had my 3 rental properties rebuilt. All work was completed on time, under budget and with complete courtesy from all the workers involved. My special thanks to Jon and Martha. I don't see how anyone can complain about their work, they sure did me right! Good luck Purvis, thanks for everything. I'll call you when I start flipping houses again! Tony M"

Dec. 1, 2007

"I contacted Purvis Contracting after reading the excellent reviews and finally deciding to have many small jobs done. Jon and Martha came out gave me estimates on each job , as I was unsure how much I could afford to have done at one time. The total price was very competitive and reasonable. The work they did was professional and done in a timely fashion given that there were certain weather delays that were out of anyone’s control. Prior contractors had been frustrated in the type of work I needed preferring to do only large jobs. I appreciate the time and attention they gave to me and now my house is lovely.

"I am posting on behalf of myself as well as a couple of my elderly neighbors, I had Mr. Purvis do some of the many odd jobs that earlier workers were too "busy" to do. I was touched at the fact that they came in and knew what it means after all of this to have a completed project, I can only imagine had I had from the start people as kind, considerate and professional how many less headaches it would have been. After my experience I recommended them to some people in our area, some of whom have already been bitten by other contractors due to age and circumstances, everything from hanging a light fixture to building a wheelchair ramp, not too often now a days to get good people who still take pride in where we live. Thank you both, there maybe good folks left after all. Florence"

Sep. 19, 2007

"They gave me a great estimate on my 3 rental properties last week. Then, they said they would give me a huge discount if they contracted all three. I signed today. I will let you know what happens.........Tony M."

"Jon and Martha are easy to deal with, friendly and reliable. Please give them a call--they do it all!!"

"I needed a road home approved contractor to rebuild my home. I found Mr. Purvis from this site and decided to call him. He came out, did an estimate and submited it to me with insurance papers, references and a letter from the better business bureau.I checked everything out and decided to move forward. Fast forward 2 months (yes two months) and my house was complete, from roof to dishwasher. The quality of the work was good and he made sure we ok'd the paint colors, cabinets, counter tops and roof shingles before they were purchased.
My wife and I are very pleased with the efforts of Mr. Purvis and his crew. I would recommend this company to my relatives, as well as, neighbors. Thank you for creating such a great website. It is nice to be able to warn people about poor contractors and compliment the good ones. Purvis Construction is certainly one of the good ones in my book."

Jul. 26, 2007

"I hired Jon and Martha Purvis to help me realize my vision of enlarging my house, specifically a new room for our new baby. I had attic space and they were able to help me plan and than implement my idea. They worked within my budget and the physical constraints of the job,a weird twist in the staircase did not allow for easy material placement but no walls were damaged and we stayed in budget. They were a great company to work with."

Jul. 24, 2007

"I saw a sign that said road home contractor on Jefferson highway. I called the number and asked if they could come out on a Saturday for an estimate. The man said Saturday was booked and that Sunday was their only day off. I told him I needed to drive back to Houston late Sunday and that I wouldn't be back for a few months. He actually agreed to come out on a Sunday!
Well, needless to say, he's fixing my mothers house as we speak.
Call this contractor (but wait until he's finished with my house) :)"

Jul. 8, 2007

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Jon & Martha and all I can say is they are wonderful! The prices are reasonable and no job is too small. They are both committed to doing each and every job right the first time and they care very much about their customers! I would HIGHLY recommend Purvis contracting!"

Jun. 6, 2007

"I consider myself fortunate that I ran across Jon and his company after Katrina. It is hard to find someone that is trustworthy and that you can depend on to take care of your needs when you are hundreds of miles away. The customer service that Jon and his wife provide is also superb!!! Keep up the great work."

Jun. 1, 2007

"His rates were good, the degree of explanation was excellent. He gave me an itemized 4 page estimate (for free) right down to the square foot. He also gave me a copy of his license and insurance (without asking).
I called other companies and they took 3 weeks to get me a 1 page estimate that was higher priced with no mention of licenses or insurance. Why can't everyone just do that?
Work was good and quick. I will use him again......"

May. 22, 2007

"I have known Jon and Martha for several years and have used their company, Purvis Contracting Group to restore several properties that were damaged by Katrina. They have always taken a very professional yet compassionate approach to accomplishing the required work. It has been refreshingly pleasant knowing that they approach each job with this same attitude no matter how large or small the task-----I had two properties that were virtually rebuilds and others that needed only minor repairs.
I would highly recommend them to anyone needing work done---they will make the Road Home much easier!!!!!!"

May. 10, 2007

"Road Home Contractor that does what he says. Excellent job. We love ya'll!"

May. 9, 2007

Great "Can Do" attitude. They live up to their slogan "We make it Happen!" Thanks guys!"

May. 8, 2007

"Great work, they rebuilt my house in under 60 days just like they said. They were pleasant, professional and on time. I appreciated that they had copies of there insurance sent directly to my fax."
