Elwood did a great job communicating with me throughout the restoration process. We were truly devastated after our home was destroyed but upon completion of the project we felt immense happiness with the work Yates Construction did for us. The house is beautifully redone, the attention to detail was immaculate, and the vision was executed very well. We highly recommend their services for your restoration needs.

A tree fell on our 20 x 20 ft screened porch.....causing severe damage including a 1 1/4 inch twist....We were assigned E F Yates by our insurance company. Ellwood and his team were amazing. They worked meticulously to put our porch back together which was no easy task. No one would know the damage had occurred. Recommend Highly!

I had a water leak in the wall between my bathrooms. After mitigation was done to dry everything out E. F. Yates Construction came in and put everything back together better than it was originally. I would highly recommend them for repairing your home whether it’s damaged from a water leak or has major damage from a fire.

Worked with Elwood and Rick after our home had some fairly extensive water damage. They were great to work with. They were on-site for the insurance adjusters walk though and ensured all damage was accounted for in the estimate. They have outstanding subs that they work with that made the process smoother. I even had them take on several side projects while they were tackling the major work. Highly recommend!
