HOUZZ AWARDS AND REVIEWS

The remodel Ron Parker and the Fred Parker Company completed for us was transformational. Our home is not only more functional, but the aesthetics literally ‘lift my spirits’ every time I come through the door.

The decision on whom to engage for a Remodel can be daunting. We interviewed several design and build firms; Fred Parker and Company was on the list based on Project images and effusive client reviews. The initial meeting made the decision. Consistent with the reviews, Ron Parker cares deeply about each client’s home and takes great pride in his firm’s ability to deliver an extraordinary result. Reputation is paramount - and the consistency with which the firm provides great service and client satisfaction is unwavering.

Our home is on the lake and Ron demonstrated extraordinary patience in dealing with the separate requirements of the City and the Corps of Engineers. I cannot overstate what this required. The unexpected constraints, the seemingly contorted approval process, the extraordinary ‘wait, wait, wait’ time which resulted in material project delays, and – importantly – the needed workarounds. The combination of patience, persistence, and design talent were all essential in moving through this process with grace.

The workmen were all professional with respect to how they worked and the skill they demonstrated. It was clear that everyone on the job had a respectful relationship with Fred Parker & Company. For those of us who have gone through the remodel process before, we greatly appreciate the value of this.

Lila Parker was also a highly-valued resource. Lila has an extraordinary eye for design and the patience to work with the ‘less-confident’ homeowner. Given the expense involved, I was apprehensive about some of the design decisions (i.e., countertop, cabinet color and hardware, flooring, etc.). Lila provided many curated options based on images I shared and our discussions. Without a doubt, she made a significant contribution to the outcome.

At the completion of the project, we looked at the home in awe and said “wow.” Ron shared the following, “If a client says ‘it looks good,’ ‘nice work,’ - if the response is anything short of amazement - we have not done our job.” With respect to the end result, I believe this captures the essence of what Fred Parker and Company will deliver – a beautiful home beyond your expectations, but one you will enjoy and appreciate for years to come.

Ron and Lila Parker made our remodeling project a great experience. They were very patient and guided us through the whole project from start to finish. Great communication on costs, contractor schedules and managing un- foreseen changes; were excellent. Work was very high quality and professional. We love our renovations and look forward to working with them again on our next project. Fred Parker Company lived up to their reputation and we highly recommend them for your future home projects!

We loved the results. Very Happy. The men were very respectable. They were always asking questions, The changes added value to the house.

When I was looking to do a complete remodel of our lake house, I scoured the reviews on Houzz before choosing three companies to interview. Since the lake house is an hour away from our main home, I knew I wanted a design-build firm to handle all of the details. The combination of outstanding reviews, Houzz awards, and professional affiliations made me confident that Fred Parker Company's reputation was solid. It was my interview with Ron and Lila Parker that made me choose them over the other two contenders. Ron's knowledge of design and construction was evident as he calmly walked through and addressed my wish list of things to update our 1950s era lake home. It had been added on to over the years and was currently stuck in the 1980s. We wanted to open it up to capture the lake views to the best advantage, as well as to accommodate our growing family, including adult children and two young grandchildren. Ron took the time to talk about all of our ideas, explaining creative ways to do things, and also letting me know what was worth doing and what was not. He never tried to suggest a more expensive way of doing things, just the "right" way to do things. Doing things the right way turned out to be the catch-word of our remodel. Working with Ron lifted the burden of the project from my shoulders. Having done many other remodels in various locations, I was not a novice to the process. I can honestly say that this was the most pleasant remodel experience I have ever had. Before any work started, Ron had an extraordinarily detailed written plan and design plan in place. There was a foreman on-site every step of the way, and any time I had a question, Ron always answered the phone and thoughtfully answered every question or concern that I had. Ron's payment structure was completely professional also. I must mention Lila Parker as well. She was instrumental in helping choose all design elements. She and Ron work together as a team with the best interest of the client at the forefront of every decision. Lila worked tirelessly helping me choose colors, paint, tile, flooring, fixtures, window coverings, and furniture. We have been enjoying our remodeled lake home with our extended family for the last three months. We can't help grinning at the results every time we open the door. We also have new friends in Ron and Lila. I highly recommend them for peace of mind in achieving impeccable results that exceeded our expectations.

We hired the Fred Parker Company to perform an extensive remodeling of our home that included the addition of almost 1,500 square feet. Ron Parker was the GC on our project and has done an excellent job. He was always on time, always accessible and proved to be very detail oriented. Furthermore, he was on budget and the quality of the work is impressive. His wife, Lila, was very helpful as well in assisting in all of the interior design aspects of our remodel. We have been very happy with his work and would definitely recommend them.

Fred Parker Company put in a custom shower for me. They were great in helping select the materials and the design, and working with me where I wanted to make a change or if I had concerns along the way. Any problems that arose, they promptly resolved. The result is a beautiful walk-in shower, which I thoroughly enjoy each and every week. Soothing, comforting, invigorating, and relaxing. Can’t complain about that. I’m a satisfied and grateful customer. Thanks to them for all the hard work and the finished product!

We found Fred Parker Company, Inc. on Houzz and hired them to create a beautiful outdoor living area. They were very professional from start to finish. We love our new outdoor patio!

Ron Parker, Master Builder, designed the plan and kept the project on budget and on schedule. The crews showed up on time, worked hard and did an excellent job. The patio looks like it was built with the house. As construction goes, we had some adjustments to make but those were handled quickly. They were easy to work with and one of the best.

Lila Parker, Designer, helped to select paint colors, stones, pattern concrete, ceiling fan, coach light, furniture, plants and décor. She provided great ideas on materials and the overall design. The design service was worth it!

This company has the highest standards and keeps working until that level is met. The professional quality of the personnel is above average and all work shows the superior knowledge of each specialist. There is attention to detail on every part of the project. I am pleased with my remodel and feel confident that I can refer Ron Parker and his team.

Fred Parker Co. has been in the residential design, build and remodeling business for over 50 years in Fort Worth area. The quality of craftsmanship and attention to detail is reflected in every aspect of their projects. We have enjoyed and are proud to work alongside Fred and Ron Parker providing the electrical work on these beautiful new and remodeled homes in Fort Worth.

My wife and I have enjoyed working together with Ron, Lila, Fred and the Fred Parker Company building and design team for over 15 years. We had always been familiar with the reputation of this fine company through seeing their signs in the yards of established neighborhoods, as well as the numerous articles we have seen in different publications. Our first design build project was the building of our beautiful European style home in Mansfield, Texas. With gated motor court and a stunning view of the golf course and lake, this home has everything we have ever dreamed of. They were excellent at presenting the latest in energy and other technology options and listened to our needs to ensure our home had everything we expected. My wife even had a specific request to make a room she calls the "Billy Graham Room" where she creates, packages and sends Christmas gifts for needy kids associated with the Billy Graham Ministry. They designed an area specifically for this purpose as well as a space for my tinkering of old antiques that I like to collect.

Our second building project was the complete renovation and remodeling of our life-time home. This was a very special property to our family as this was the home we lived most of our adult life and raised our kids. Ron Parker took a special interest in redesigning and renovating this home to utilize the beautiful and wooded oversized lot that overlooked the golf course while providing every modern convenience of our new home. The grounds were beautifully landscaped and the pool was rebuilt to allow for an incredible view from inside the home while also providing an adequate sitting area around the pool.

As a CEO of a large corporation, quality is something I take very seriously, and the Fred Parker Company's workmanship is exceptional. We have followed their success for many years and have observed that their homes hold a higher value in the market place. In many cases, the Fred Parker Company is listed as the builder of the home in real estate listings. We are firm believers in founder Fred Parker's philosophy to allow them to help maintain and preserve the value and integrity of the home. Their customer service team lead by Paul Diseker is outstanding and routinely helps maintain my property. My wife and I are very proud to be life-long friends and clients fo Ron, Lila, and Fred and the Fred Parker Company team. Rest assured, they are who we call for any remodeling, building, or service needs we may have.

We had an extensive remodeling project involving the master bedroom, bathroom and small adjoining patio. The patio was not really usable as an outdoor space and there had been water issues around the door. With Ron Parker's design, we were able to extend the roof line and incorporate the patio space into a very nice closet. We fully remodeled the bath to make all areas accessible to mobility devices which has proved to be worthwhile following surgery. Coming home for rehab was so very nice. We also added additional cabinets and linen closet in our project to make the space more functional. We are very pleased with our results and certainly recommend Fred Parker company for your renovation needs.

Our Design Firm, A Well Dressed Home, LLC, worked closely with Fred Parker Company on a large remodel project in Ft Worth in 2015/2016. They were an absolute pleasure to work with...responsive, professional and very organized. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to build or remodel.

Fred Parker and associates designed and built a beautiful home in 2000 and they honored all warranties and were very helpful during the building process. Since then I have used them twice to help with other projects at the residence and they produced the same professional results. They have very qualified and dedicated sub contractors who are easy to work and very professional. I would recommend them for any project large or small.

We were new to the area and looking to update our 1968 home. We met with several contractors but chose Fred Parker Company because they impressed us on the initial consultation with their professionalism, positive attitude, confidence and friendliness. In the big scheme of things, our project was small compared to others they were working on, but they never treated us differently. We felt valued and important every step of the way. They did a complete gut and remodel of guest and master baths complete with custom cabinets, extended wood flooring from main part of house down the hallway to the bedrooms, painted 4 bedrooms and hallway. They tore down and rebuilt back porch and most recently replaced our roof. Their quality and attention to detail is what makes them great. Their attentiveness, respect and willingness to listen to the client is what sets them apart. Thank you Fred Parker, Ron Parker, Lila Parker and Team for a very pleasant remodeling experience. We love the home you've helped to create.

Natural Stone and Granite has worked with Fred Parker Co. for more than a decade. Over this time frame, there has been a great appreciation for the attention to detail their company has.

The historic renovation recently completed was a true showmanship of their high standards of quality that many builders nowadays lack.
For this and numerous other reasons, is why we at Natural Stone and Granite are happy to be a part of this team.

We have worked with this co. for over 40 years and have witnessed the care they take in completing projects .They are very professional, and hands on to get the results our customers expect. We are proud to be a part of their team.

We decided to convert a courtyard in the front of our house to an enclosed room. The relatively small space had very high ceilings, so the design had to make these two divergent elements cohesive. The design worked beautifully. With the addition of a wonderful front door designed by Ron Parker, the room will be a joy to use. Other aspects of the remodeling, such as painting, replacement of windows, electrical, etc. were done with quality and timeliness.

We asked Fred and Ron Parker to remodel a play room for our house when we bought our house. We knew that our house was originally built by Fred Parker and we had heard so many great things about their customer focus and high quality work.
Fred , Ron , Paul and their teams did a fantastic job for us . Our playroom has been designed carefully and we discussed various options with them. Fred, Ron and the team was in close touch with us and they came up with great ideas while delivering a great project. We are very happy with our new playroom and recommend Fred Parker Company to everyone in search of excellence and reliability.

Fred Parker Company has done two projects for us--the latest in 2012. They built an outdoor living area off of the den of our 1971 existing home. It required tricky roof and skylight changes, with a sitting area, built in grill, fire pit and renovation of our pool. They did wonderful architectural drawings for us. They were always more than willing to make changes as we moved forward. You would never know it was an add-on.

Everyone that worked on the project was professional, knowledgeable, courteous and thorough. We knew we were in excellent hands. When they left our home, you never knew they had been there. Everything was left neat, clean and the way they found it.

We would use them again without a doubt, and recommend them highly to others.

After purchasing a home in the summer of 2015, I decided to do a complete renovation. There really wasn't much that I wanted to change about the exterior of the home but was looking update the interior. I was referred to Ron Parker of Fred Parker Company, Inc. by my realtor. Soon after that we began working on plans for the inside of the home. I had been warned by others of the horrors of taking on such a project! Luckily for me, I had a different experience. Ron and the rest of the crew at Fred Parker Co., Inc. were great to work with. They were extremely professional and worked well to alleviate any concerns that I had along the way. Of course, as the project went on, I continued to add to the list things that I wanted done. I had brought in a decorator and even though she wasn't affiliated with Fred Parker Co., Inc., Ron worked very well with her and went out of his way to communicate with her to make sure that everyone was on the same page. After all was said and done, we had completely renovated the interior of the home and I couldn't be happier with the work that they accomplished. Along with the work on the interior of the home, our project turned into a major landscaping overhaul as well. My project is just about wrapped up now and I couldn't be happier with the work that was done on the home as well as how the landscaping project turned out. Ron, along with the rest of the crew exceeded my expectations.

We remodeled our bathroom and closets in a high rise condo. Our expectations were high since I had worked with Fred Parker before. The expectations were exceeded. Thoughtful attention to design, finishes, and ideas for unique touches, combined with a work crew of the highest caliber resulted in a beautiful project.

I have worked with the Parkers several times, from a total home tear down/rebuild in 2004 and the addition of a guest house in 2013. Their quality of work is second to none. I am probably a difficult client to work with. During the process I asked for many changes in the work which caused delays and "change orders". Ron and Fred were very patient and made sure the work was done to the highest standards. They were always responsive to my requests, and were there inspecting the work from start to completion. They work with only the best subcontractors, and it not an exaggeration to say that they are craftsmen that show pride in their work. If one word would need to be chosen to describe the Parkers, it would be "Integrity".

FPC built a custom home for us in 1996. The house was quality throughout with complete attention to detail. They brought the project in on time and very close to budget. They were a pleasure to work with throughout the project. When it came time to sell the house one of its strongest selling points was that it was a Fred Parker home. It sold the first day on the market. In 2013 we asked FPC to remodel an older patio home that we purchased. Again the project was done with quality and attention to detail. The remodel was beautiful and made the home more livable. We were happy with every aspect of the job.. I would highly recommend FPC for either a new build or remodel. FPC is a company with the highest standards of workmanship but first and foremost a company with integrity and professionalism....a pleasure to work with.

I bought a Fred Parker Company home in Mira Vista 3 years ago that they built in 1996. The prior owner advertised it as a Fred Parker home, as they have a great reputation out here. I must say we are very pleased with the home, and I appreciate Ron Parker answering my occasional questions.

Having performed work for Fred Parker Company for over 10 years we are very familiar with the entire organization. When thinking of Fred Parker Company the first word that comes to mind is quality. They demand excellence from themselves as well as those who are lucky enough to work with them. From the initial design phase to construction and beyond, they are committed to excellence throughout the building process. Their commitment to excellence does not end when the project ends. They go above and beyond to make sure that their customers are taken care of for years to come. Fred Parker Company not only builds fantastic homes, but also relationships. This is a big reason why they have an abundance of repeat customers. From Fred, to Ron, to Paul, Phil and all of the office support personnel they are a pleasure to work for, and a pleasure to work with.

We have worked with Fred Parker Company for over 20 years, my father was Fred Parkers tile contractor for 40 plus years. Fred Parker Company is committed to building the best quality home with the most up to date technology and methods . In Texas our soils have issues with movement, which can cause small stress fractures in tile floors. Fred Parker Company implemented installing anti-fracture membrane for all tile and natural stone floors to help prevent future repairs. Fred Parker also implemented using Schluter water proofing system for showers and tubs, which we feel is the very best water proofing system on the market. Fred Parker Company takes pride in their subcontractors craftsmanship and work ethic. It has been a pleasure working with Fred Parker and all of his staff.

I have worked for Fred Parker and his company for over 30 years, and they are the best people I know! They have treated me like family and have the highest character and reputation, not only for quality work, but for caring about their clients and their employees and sub contractors. My role has been in the design of remodel projects and some work on new homes. They keep up with current trends in home building, remodeling and interior design. They care deeply about the people they work with and for. I have nothing but praises and look forward to many more years of association with Fred, Ron and their company.

We have worked with the Fred Parker Company for more than 25 years now as independent sub-contractors. Every person at FPC is truly professional as well as possessing the highest degree of integrity and honesty. They are unsurpassed in the field of residential home building. There are not enough superlatives to describe what FPC means to us both professionally and personally.

We now live in a time when superior craftsmanship and a desire to achieve perfection is considered a character flaw. "Cheap" and "Fast" are in most company's motto. Fred Parker Company refuses to accept this compromise. Every detail from the initial sketch through the final cleaning must meet Fred Parker Company's uncompromised high standards.

I have been doing work for Fred Parker Company for about 20 years. Their attention to detail is way over the top. I wish all of my builders operated at this level of detail.

Mr. Parker, his son Ron and Ron's wife Lila have been more than a pleasure to work for.
I tried for several years to do Fred's carpet work. In 1985 he called me and asked me to bring some carpet samples. I brought a few favorites. He selected a color, after I gave him a quote.
The carpet had a side match problem after it was installed, looked like two colors. He immediately asked what was i going to do. I told him, replace it. I have been working for Fred and his family since then.
Lila is a fabulous designer and Ron is an excellent builder. I have the longest working relationship with this family. I have worked for many companies but none with such integrity.

It is a great privilege and honor to be able to say I have been working continuously for over 20 years as a supplier of doors and trim to the Fred Parker Co.
Their compassion and loyalty to people shows through their understanding of the homeowner’s wants and needs for each home.
The attention to detail, hands on involvement and follow through has made my work experience and friendship absolutely delightful.

I am the owner of Ramon Roofing Inc. (Fort Worth, Texas) I have worked along the side of Fred and Ron Parker for 20 years now. They are a "dynamic duo" that provide true professionalism in every aspect. When they encounter a particular issue or a specific detail they make sure they resolve and manage it to the fullest of extents. I would recommend Fred Parker Co. to anyone I know because of those facts alone. When it comes to being one of the best they are definitely a name to look forward to.

I have much respect for the Fred Parker Company! They take a very sincere interest in the needs and homes of their clients. If it's a Fred Parker Home you can rest assured that Fred Parker takes ownership of that home as long as it exist.

Highest of Quality! I work for Lightfoot Mechanical Inc. and we pride ourselves in the fact that we deliver the highest level of professional installation. Many builders will not sub contract professional installation but hire the cheapest based on price alone. It is a joy to work with a builder who truly wants the best for his clients. Fred Parker surrounds himself with others that he knows will put professionalism, integrity and customer service first. Thank you Fred and Ron.

I have worked with Fred & Ron for many years and in short they are at the very top of the builder pyramid. For remodeling or new custom home construction there is nobody that is as experienced and takes the time to do things absolutely correctly. Not only do they do it right the first time, but they offer the best follow up in the industry. If you are building in the Ft Worth area you need to consider Fred Parker Company.

We purchased an older home a year ago and hired Fred Parker Company to do a complete renovation. They did an amazing job, and used the very highest quality of subs, painters, electricians, etc. Everyone performed to meet the high expectations of Mr. Parker.

Fred Parker and his son Ron Parker are currently building my new home, and the quality and professionalism is outstanding. They are extremely thorough in planning and anticipating situations and formulating solutions to prevent unexpected problems. They use only high quality and reputable subcontractors. Their goal is to build a

home that will stand the test of time. Fred Parker has been building homes for 50 + years, and recently received a Lifetime Achievement Award by the Greater Fort Worth Builders Association for his contribution to building issues in Fort Worth.
Update Dec 2015: I have been living in my beautiful home now for a year, and the follow up service by Fred Parker has been outstanding. Fred and his son Ron treat my home like it their prized possession. They take so much pride in the quality of the work, their service, and their client relationships. I highly recommend them to anyone considering building or remodeling .

Bill and I would like to take this opportunity to thank Ron Parker and the Fred Parker Company for the superior job of building our new Outdoor Living Area around our swimming pool. We knew this time around, we wanted a totally covered patio including extra amenities. In essence, we were able to add another room to our home. Ron had the expertise and vision to create a look that is so pleasing to the eye. The new addition looks like it has always been a part of the house.

Bill had a lot of preconceived ideas of what he wanted. Ron was so willing to accommodate his desires and advise him along the way.

This was our second remodeling project with the Parkers. I can truly say, every person we worked with in every area of construction was truly an artisan at their craft and was so NICE!! The employees in the business side of the company were great too. They are ALL really GOOD people.

I would recommend the Fred Parker Company any day. They pride themselves on staying with a job until you are totally happy with the finished product. We are definitely very pleased. We would be more than happy to show our beautiful new Out Door Living Area any time. We are so proud!!
