"After dealing with plenty of dodgy, dishonest and incapable builders, Chris Johnson was a pleasure to deal with. Not only did he finish my project on time, he just came back, almost a year later, to take care of some issues we had after things had settled. He even did that quickly! I highly recommend him. Honest builders who stand behind their work are not easy to find. He's a gem!"

"We had C A Johnson Construction Inc. to build a deck on our house. We explained to Chris how we wanted it to look like it was put on at the same time the house was built and it looks great. Chris was on the job every day making sure things were done right. We highly recommend C A Johnson Construction."

"There are advise lists for what you should look for when selecting a contractor for repair and/or construction projects. Many contractors can comply with these lists, but there are some additional very important factors that I feel should be considered and high on my list is trust.
The cosmetic appearance of the job is important, but what is more important is what you don’t see. You can trust Chris Johnson, who takes basic construction seriously, makes sure that it is sound and constructed with proper protective materials. The result has been better than the original construction.
Chris Johnson fixes things to your satisfaction and even fixes things your eye doesn’t catch. He does the best that can be done.
Another important point is a pleasant working relationship and Chris not only is he professional in knowing the business, is a really pleasant, down to earth guy who is easy to work with and easy to call upon. And he calls back!"

"I first learned of Chris Johnson years ago when visiting with a neighbor and mentioned I was wanting a metal roof installed on my house. I said that I had called a few listings in the yellow pages but none had called back. My neighbor said, "call Chris Johnson". He went on to say that Chris had done some extensive remodeling for him and that he would recommend him to anyone. I called Chris that same evening and he was at my house the very next day. He and his crew did my metal roof. The old roof was a mess, several areas very challenging, but he was able to correct these old defects, leaving me with a roof that has never shown a problem. Later I contracted him for seamless guttering, and re-roofing a rental house. And most recently he installed vinyl siding on my house, that was three years ago. I recently called him to build me a large metal storage garage. He came out and surveyed the site then worked up a plan for construction. In the meantime the lose of a family member caused us to have to re-think things, and I had to cancel the building. Chris was very understanding. If I decided later to do the building I know I can call him. Chris Johnson WILL answer his phone. He will keep appointments, and he will do everything possible to satisfy his customers, and you will like him."

"Steve and I want to express our great appreciation for the custom home you built for us in Bella Vista. We have been in our home for several years now and enjoy it tremendously. The final results exceeded our dreams. On top of that, working with you and the entire process was a pleasure. We could not be more pleased.
You worked with our ideas in order to produce just what we wanted. We have been asked how it is possible to build a place like ours when we lived more than six hours away. The answer, of course, is to work with a builder like you who can be trusted, who takes pride in producing only quality work and is easy to work with.
An added bonus is that you could arrange to take care of everything, even things that a normal contractor might not want to handle. We highly recommend your building expertise and you were amazing to work with."
Thank You,
Steve and Tammy

"As a Realtor, it is my privilege to recommend Chris Johnson as a builder for new construction or remodeling. Over the last several years I listed and sold many of his homes and even had him do personal home remodeling for me during this time. I, along with his customers have been extremely pleased with his work and willingness to please. I have found him to be a fine Christian man with a great work ethic. You will not be disappointed with his work!"

Testimonial from Mealing Family
"We have known Chris for about 4 years. He has done 2 projects so far and he is about to start a major remodel in our home.
The first project was our master bathroom. This was completed about 3-4 yrs ago. He did an amazing job in redesigning the space from an old tired basic bathroom into a spa like area where you can relax and enjoy!
The second project completed last year included our front and back porches. The front porch needed a new "face" and we wanted to enclose the back porch and turn it into a sunroom. He did a fantastic job on both, and the sunroom is our favorite spot in the house.
We have always been very happy with the quality of his work. What you see is what you get with Chris. He is transparent and trustworthy. Chris listens to our needs and ideas and then turns them into our vision. He provides honest feedback and a professional perspective to ensure that we understand the unintended impacts as well this is very helpful in our decision making.
We recommend Chris and his work to anyone that might be interested in doing and construction work at their property."

Mr. Chris Johnson
C.A. Johnson Builders, Inc.
Dear Chris:
"I want to thank you for your excellent leadership and work the past months remodeling our home. Remodels are always tougher than new construction and the creativity and enthusiasm put forth by you, your team, and subcontractors has created the perfect living environment we wished to achieve.
The craftsmanship, finishes, and exterior work is excellent, and the additional square footage just what we wanted. The fact the work was completed on time, and within budget, are just bonus points on top - especially considering all the negative weather we experienced this spring!
Most important, we truly enjoyed working with you and all the fellows, who were very polite and always let us know what they would be each day and week. That really helped us make our plans and to accommodate your construction schedule needs.
Please do not hesitate to use either Judi or myself as a reference, or to use this thank you note for such purpose. We are just very thankful that we were able to team up together. Know that we are enjoying your wonderful work each day.
Best Wishes for a good year."
Yours Truly,

Hey Chris and Angie:
"In 2005 we hired Chris Johnson to completely replace an aging deck patio. Our new two-level 15 x 60 foot deck patio complex includes a major screened room as well as open decking. Our new deck complex has changed the way we live from indoors to outdoors - May thru October. Chris and his team did a superb job in terms of meeting our objectives, workmanship, timelines and cost. I would recommend him highly."

"For a major 2008 home overhaul adding 1,000 square feet of additional home space (under-house basement, full bath and storage garage; main floor office/bedroom, full bath, additional garage/gym, totally remodeled kitchen, additional "her" master closet, and much more, Chris Johnson delivered all we wanted at the highest level of craftsmanship and within the promised construction time-frame and budget. The construction site was left clean daily. We also was informed what upcoming daily and weekly work would be done ahead of time so that we could make appropriate adjustments to our living schedule. We would recommend Chris Johnson to anyone."

Home Remodel
"We recently worked with Chris and his crew to remodel our kitchen, powder room, and change the flooring in our entry ways and utility room. We were completely satisfied with the work done, and found Chris a joy to work with to this end. He has a marvelous eye for detail and came up with many creative solutions to some design issues. He was attentive to our needs while living in the home during remodeling, and was always quick to return calls or stop by when we had questions or concerns. We heartily endorse Chris for your building or remodeling needs, his work ethic and knowledge of construction is above reproach!"

"I had the pleasure of meeting Chris Johnson while touring one of his spec homes in Bella Vista in the summer of 2019. My wife and I fell in love with the floor plan - one of Chris' own designs. We asked if he could recreate the home in Carroll County, more specifically Holiday Island. His answer was a resounding yes. As a licensed Professional Engineer, with over 40 years of experience in designing buildings I made sure to check on his reputation; is was excellent. We entered into a contract to build our custom home tailored after the Bella Vista spec home in early 2020. Chris estimated eight months of construction and completed on schedule.
Chris is a general contractor (GC). As such, he subs out most work. He must select, contract with, schedule and inspect the work of each sub. A quality GC is like a conductor of a large orchestra. You can be the best conductor around, but if musicians are second class your concert will fail. This is where Chris really shines. He has great subs. He knows their strengths and weaknesses and "conducts" the work accordingly. Most folk in Holiday Island had never seen a custom home take shape as quickly and with quality that is in my home (and many of them walked through the site multiple times.) I give top honor to following subs:
However, the top qualities to look for in a GC are:
I highly recommend Chris to build your new dream home and will gladly act as a reference for him."

"Chris Johnson is a honest, hard working, and dependable contractor. You will find him on the jobsite daily, checking to make sure it is going perfectly. Chris checks with homeowners about their likes and dislikes. He will make suggestions on things that you might not think about. I struggled finding certain things for the house and he jumped right in and started helping me find what I needed.
We would definitely use him again!
Thanks Chris we LOVE our home!"

"I’ve heard many people say that building a custom house was the worst experience of their life. Five years ago we asked Chris Johnson to build our house, and it turned out to be one of the BEST experiences of our lives. Chris is probably the hardest working person I’ve ever known, but he never failed to return a phone call or to failed to keep a commitment. He stays personally involved with his projects.
Professionals from other trades have given unsolicited compliments about the quality of the construction of my home.
Some qualities I particularly appreciate about Chris is that he listens to you, will always give you his honest opinion, and his integrity is above reproach. I would never hesitate to recommend Chris Johnson Construction to anyone considering building or remodeling their home."

Johnson Construction because you get nothing but quality."
