We’re a few months late posting this review because we wanted to wait until after peak rental season to see how everything held up - and after a fully booked summer with glowing guest feedback, we’re thrilled to recommend Shannon from Construction with Merritt. Shannon came highly recommended by other local owners, and he lived up to the hype. He completed a full remodel of our beach house in February, and we were out of state the entire time. Despite the distance, the process was seamless - Shannon kept us updated with photos, progress reports, and responsive communication. His quote was the most competitive we received, and the turnaround was impressively fast considering the scope. The work included three bathrooms, a kitchen refresh, custom-built bunks, interior painting, and a custom coffee bar. He even went above and beyond by repairing a few unexpected issues - all while staying on budget. Everything has held up beautifully, and the feedback from guests has been overwhelmingly positive. The upgrades have made a noticeable impact on both bookings and our nightly rate - we’ve been full all summer. We’d absolutely hire Shannon again and highly recommend him to anyone planning a remodel.Read More

Absolutely the best experience I have ever had in more than 40 years with any construction company. I cannot thank Construction with Merritt enough for the guidance, excellent design and construction service that was provided. Without Shsnnon, the owner's, help, I would not have been able to complete the renovation of my unit. Shannon not only provided the most excellent construction that I've ever experienced, but he designed and insured the structural integrity of the entire building where my unit is located. He is so knowledgeable, professional, friendly, accommodating and kind. My condo unit is beautiful because of his design suggestions and his help with restoring the subfloor, plumbing, electrical and many other areas that needed improvement. Construction with Merritt is a one stop shop. Once you engage his services, I can assure you that all of your design, renovation and construction needs will be met to your 100% satisfaction.Read More

Construction with Merritt just completed a master shower renovation for us. We transitioned from a standard insert to a full tile shower with glass sliding door. Shannon was very easy to work with. He is very personable and always available for questions and advice. He worked with us on scheduling and helping out with pieces of the project we weren't sure about. I would definitely recommend his company!Read More

Shannon with Merritt Construction is absolutely amazing! First of all, he was very patient with me because it took me a couple of years to actually pull the trigger on this project. I was nervous being an absentee owner and having someone I didn’t know do a complete renovation and partial remodel of my house. Little did I know that I had nothing to fear! In fact, I wish he lived in Baton Rouge so that he could help me with my home projects because he is just absolutely amazing. Did I say that already?! Shannon is a very thorough person who pays attention to every detail. I think he might actually have OCD because honest to goodness, he doesn’t miss a thing! He took care of my landscaping - added pine straw and trimmed my palm trees, even though this had absolutely nothing to do with my renovation. He even repaired my fence that was rotting in the backyard and reworked my outdoor rusty water meter box because it didn’t look good. He does not miss a thing! Oh, I think I said that already too – lol! Shannon is a fabulous communicator. He sent pictures and worked with my decorator. He involved me when I needed to be involved and left me alone when I didn’t, and that worked out great for me! Anytime I reached out, he was eager to chat and not at all put out or bothered to have to go over questions or details. The final outcome of the project is beyond my wildest imagination! Every surface of my house has been refreshed, including the scraping of ceilings, which I know is a very messy job. He converted a garage into a bedroom. He converted a laundry room into a bathroom. He really conceptualized our project so well and even came up with some super ideas that enhanced the project beyond what we had originally thought of. Hopefully he will post some pictures of the project because it is worth taking a look at! I would hire him again in a split second.Read More

So thankful for Shannon and his crew. I’d received a handful of quotes much higher than I expected to pay and someone suggested I check out Merritt. They responded very quickly, they had a very fair price, they scheduled me quickly. We needed a full bathtub surround removed and replaced in a tight window between guests and they did exactly what they said they’d do, on time, clean, professional, etc… I’m very pleased and would highly recommend.Read More
