Old Iron Sides is a very reputable company to work with. We had a full remodel of our home due to flood damage they helped us with the process and working with the insurance company, Pat, Leo, Porter and the crew were always available to help and wait while we had to make decisions. Very trustworthy the crews were in and out of our home and very respectful to us and our work schedule. I have used them numerous times since and will continue to use and recommend them! Thank you for helping us create a beautiful captivating environment in our home! Unlike any other in Bakersfield.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Old Ironsides Construction, Inc., and I am beyond impressed with their service. As a local veteran-owned company, they bring a level of dedication and professionalism that is truly unmatched. From start to finish, their team was exceptional—punctual, detail-oriented, and committed to delivering high-quality work. Their transparent communication and willingness to go above and beyond set them apart from other contractors I’ve worked with. The project was completed on time and within budget, and the final result exceeded my expectations. It's clear that their military background instills a strong sense of discipline and integrity in their work.

Old Ironsides remodeled our two bathrooms, and they are beautiful. Pat was great with vision and design. The company's foreman, Porter, is the best. His communication, integrity, promptness and honesty held the project together for us. He made sure that we were satisfied and that the company was well represented. The Team responded on time, were professional and made sure everything was done well. Many months after our project was completed, we needed to contact Old Ironsides about a concern. We contacted Porter, and he responded immediately for the company, and within a week our concern was resolved. We would highly recommend Old Ironsides for your construction needs.
