Report
Pete, Chris, Anthony, Marvin and Terry have all been outstanding to work with both as a client at Lighthouse Baptist Church with two building projects and as one of their sub-contractors on several projects over the years! Everyone in the office as well (I know I'll leave someone out if I start to name folks) are wonderful to work with as well! Truly the best general contractor in our area hands down due to the attention given to every detail as you plan and implement a project. I have enjoyed working with CBC in every aspect and certainly look forward to the next opportunity as we plan our next facility!
