    -Kara Eidson

  • "Jacob and his team did an amazing job on our deck. They stained the existing deck (before picture included), installed a pergola, and built a privacy wall. It doesn’t even look like the same space, and is our new favorite place to hang out. All around great to work with. We’ve already hired them for more work and can’t wait to have them back!"

    • Brooke Johnson

  • "So glad we came across Burkett Residential for our front porch and back deck. We got a few bids but were wanting something more personal and approachable. Jacob was speedy with his quote and getting to work. Great communicator and so very accommodating. He provided excellent insight and made suggestions on what we could do to make sure the project looked fantastic. He and his team worked through some tough heat but were always so nice. We know its not easy working around older homes in Lawrence (almost 100yrs old) but he tackled everything effortlessly. All and all it was great to work with someone who takes pride in their work and makes sure you are left with exactly what you wanted."

    • Shauna Owens

  • "Burkett Residential has completed several projects for us over the past two months including 2 different styles of fences, and 2 decks of different sizes. We have several other bids in the works also. Their work is meticulous and their business practices provide transparency throughout the entire project. From start to finish I felt completely informed about the status of the project. Their communication is excellent. I now consider Burkett Residential our go-to for household projects of all sizes. Top 5 reasons I would hire again: 1. Kind, respectful crew. 2. Timely: arrived at agreed upon times and completed projects within the timeframe stated. 3. Through, meticulous work; knowledge and expertise to offer informed suggestions/recommendations. 4. Communication: from initial bids, to scheduling, to signing contracts and then throughout the actual work the communication from everyone at Burkett Residential was outstanding. 5. Honest & fair pricing."
