The name on the truck is our family’s name.
We are the Padgetts, and we have been building and remodeling homes in Swansea since 1992. Two generations, one standard: do the work right, with no shortcuts.
Started by two brothers. Carried on by the next generation.
In 1992, Ron and Don Padgett started a building and remodeling company on a simple promise: ethics, integrity, and quality craftsmanship, with no shortcuts. They earned the loyalty of their customers and the respect of the community one finished kitchen and one finished basement at a time.
Today the company is led by second-generation owner David Padgett, who grew up on these job sites. The crews his dad and uncle trusted are still the crews on your project, and the standard is exactly the same. When you call, you talk to a real person who knows your name.
That is the Padgett Way, and after more than 30 years in Swansea, it is still the only way we know how to work.
David Padgett grew up on these job sites.
David Padgett is the second-generation owner of Padgett Building & Remodeling. He grew up on these job sites, learning the trade from his dad Ron and his uncle Don, who founded the company in 1992. The crews his dad and uncle trusted are still the crews on your project today, and David runs every job to the standard they set.
More than 30 years later, that standard still has a name around here: THE PADGETT WAY. It means ethics, integrity, and quality craftsmanship, with no shortcuts and no surprise change orders. When you hire Padgett, you get a real family that answers the phone, shows up when it says it will, and stands behind the work long after the last nail is set. According to the Better Business Bureau, Padgett Building & Remodeling holds an A+ rating.
David also believes a builder owes something to the town that made the business. Padgett is proud to sponsor the Freedom Sings USA veterans retreat in the Village of Shiloh, one of the ways the family gives back to the neighbors who trust them with their homes.
