VISION
Educate the next generation of builders and homeowners about what to look for and how to build in a way that will stand the test of time.
MISSION
Provide quality renovations and remodeling that exceed customer expectations.
Mike's dad helped to build Burger King restaurants all over the southeast, all of them finished in oak. Once the restaurants were trimmed out, the leftover pieces that they couldn't use on another restaurant ended up in the garage.
Those leftover pieces were turned into chess sets, bat racks, bookshelves, bunk beds, and more, serving as an opportunity to learn and develop life-long skills.
Why are we called Greater Oak?
It goes back to childhood and the way owner Mike Turner learned to build. There was always a seemingly endless supply of oak in his parents' garage.
Greater Oak builds to last. That's the way we were taught, and that's what we instill in our team and values. Don't build for today - build something that will stand the test of time.
Our dedication to quality and craftsmanship goes back to the way owner Mike Turner learned to build from his dad. Mike grew up on job sites, helping his father on commercial and residential projects. This hands-on approach to learning cultivated a life-long love for quality and dedication to continual improvement. Mike's curiosity drives him to discover the best materials, build with the best techniques, and work with clients to achieve the best results.
It's time to get going on that project you've been talking about.
Let Greater Oak turn your dreams into your reality.
Estimates are always free.
