FIVE STAR RATING
Allen Griffin is an incredibly talented builder who pays amazing attention to detail and precision.
I've worked with Allen on several projects and have always been impressed with his construction knowledge, the skill of his subcontractors, and the way he runs and personally supervises his job sites. Remodeling is vastly different from new construction- you're working in peoples home and it’s very invasive. The care Allen takes to keep his job sites tidy, the timeline honest and the expectations well set make working with him a joy. He is also very forthright, honest and relates well to owners.Many times- as a designer-I come up with an idea that’s never been done before-some contactors shy away from that because it’s not easy or it’s not how they like to work. Allen is always up for the challenge. – He is an ‘out of the box’ builder whose skill-set and construction knowledge is priceless in making my design ideas and ‘possibilities’ come to life. I could not do it without him and consider him a partner in the design-build process. It’s thrilling co-creating something that is EXACTLY right for the client, the space, and the intended use. Allen’s easy going nature, optimism and excellent construction skills make him fun to work with! I would highly recommend Allen for any residential or light commercial project.
FIVE STAR RATING-HOUZZ-aeglaze Allen is one of the most professional and pleasant design/build firms we have worked with. After a failed contract with a previous builder (who was exclusively a builder), we were very apprehensive in selecting a new builder to work with, of which, we contacted over a dozen to discuss our project.
After trying to decide whether to go the design/build route or work with an independent builder, my very first call with Allen helped us decide which direction to go in. Not only, was he happy to explain things to us, he was extremely patient and offered honest insight into different aspects of our project. His transparency from the 20 mins when I spoke with him over the phone, is the the reason I urged my husband to set an appointment with Allen.
In the end, not only is Allen one of the most creative architects who happily rendered many versions of our unique project, we felt confident in his ability to build after visiting a contemporary home he had built over a decade ago. Still solid, nicely done and great workmanship. As we are still in the process of completing our home, our experience with Gryphon Builders thus far has been excellent. I personally cannot wait to see our home complete and look forward to finished product!
FIVE STAR REVIEW-GOOGLE-dbawden
I have known Allen Griffin for over 20 years and can vouch for his high integrity, honesty and high level of expertise in residential construction. He is a worthy competitor of mine. I have the utmost respect for him.
If you are looking for a thoroughly experienced design-build contractor, call Allen. He does amazing 3-D plans for his projects.
I have watched Allen's involvement in his church, his dedication to his community, and business, and recommend him for your project without hesitation.
FIVE STAR RATING-HOUZZ_aboquist We used Gryphon Builders in 2013 to extend an opening between two rooms. The service Allen provided was exceptional. We had a specialty kind of crown molding and Allen searched high and low to find a match. Quality was his priority and we loved the finished product. He was fantastic at communicating what was going on with the project as well as listening to our needs and wants to make sure we got what we wanted. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Gryphon Builders.
FIVE STAR RATING-HOUZZ- donnaandjay I would highly recommend Gryphon Builders. Allen was extremely professional. All his work was of the highest quality. During the remodel of our kitchen and living room, he came up with creative solutions that made the room just the way we wanted it. Allen created an incredible marble backsplash and took extra time with our countertops to create an amazing look. He also made the rest of the house livable during the project by allowing us privacy in the remaining part of the home. His team kept the space clean at the end of each day. The work was completed within the budget and time frame expected.
FOUR STAR RATING-HOUZZ-ldanderson29 Gryphon reconfigured a large portion of our upstairs floor and installed an outdoor kitchen area by our pool. Upstairs, they rebuilt two bathrooms and converted a bedroom to an open office space by removing a awl at the top of the steps. The outdoor area included an expansion of the covered porch that we had behind our house. Included in the rebuild was the installation of a smoker, sink, ice maker, fireplace and grill.
FIVE STAR RATING-HOUZZ-kmhixson I contracted Gryphon Builders in 2004 for my home renovation / addition. The project included 100 sq ft renovation and 1200 sq ft addition. Gryphon Builders was professional, thorough and keep the project timeline schedule. Gryphon Builders paid great attention to detail and delivered quality craftsmanship that exceeded expectations. I even gave them creative liberties on a fireplace mantel that turned out great. I will use Gryphon Builders again on my next home renovation project.
FIVE STAR RATING-HOUZZ-susannjones
Gryphon Builders is a First Class company.
I was in need of a master bathroom remodel to accommodate my disabled husband and Allen came up with very creative ideas to address the challenges faced. The end result was a very functional place for my husband plus a beautiful retreat for me. He also turned the ugly, boring patio into a beautiful covered oasis for outdoor entertaining. When I wanted to update the other 3 bathrooms in the house, it was a no-brainer to call Allen. I had some definite ideas on what I wanted and he was able to bring them life. They are stunning! Thanks Allen.Allen is always easy to work with and so are his crew. Very respectful and thoughtful about the fact they were working in someone's home. There is no doubt that I will use him for my next project.
FIVE STAR RATING - HOUZZ- sanditeeter Gryphon Builders did an amazing job with our condo remodel! We love the new layout. Every detail works together to creat the perfect space. Allen was professional and available every step of the way.
FIVE STAR REVIEW-GOOGLE-eaglaze
Exceptional work. I have no idea where the 3 star reviews have come from but my guess is competition. Needless to say we have a custom built, modern home and every detail is polished and incredible workmanship. Allen is honest, hard-working and extremely creative. His work is unmatched and we continue to work with him 2 years after our home has been built. He hands down was the only builder that shot things straight to us in the beginning rather than promising things he couldn’t do. Further because he’s an architect by heart, he custom built our cabinets in the entire house— floating cabinets in the master with ordinate and chic laminate. He custom built-in our thermador shelves, bar, cabinets etc. our waterfall island is incredible too. I could go on and on but if you’re in question, call or email him and ask him to show you the “modern home with downtown views” and he will know exactly which house you’re speaking of.
