Ken Montgomery built my house - excellent builder - don't know if he is still in the business - I believe his son is building now with Mr. Ken advising him.


Ken is still doing a house here and there. Mostly in Collins place. Not sure if he's taking on customs tho.



I certainly hope that he is using a different window manufacturer than he did on the house he built for me 14 years ago. Every wood window had to be replaced over the ten years I lived in that house.

Issues of window leakage started in the first year. We informed him right away (not in writing though) and he put it off long enough that he was no longer responsible. Lesson learned, always inform builder of any problems in writing and send it certified mail so that you are protected against the Mr Nice Guy bull crap.

If Jim Fussell isn't in jail he might give you a deal on a custom home.

Tell Eddie Cretin I said hello.

Why anyone would use wood windows in south Louisiana baffles me.

They are a never-ending maintenace nightmare.

You used wood windows. Of course you have to replace them in ten years (common sense). Not his fault you thought wood was the best. You vinyl next time douche
