About Us

A Chattanooga contractor named after a really good dog.

Hendrix is the Golden Retriever. Loyal, calm, and always at the job site. The business was named after him, and we run it the same way.

Our story

Built on the kind of loyalty you don't see much anymore.

Golden Repairs & Renovations started the way a lot of good things start: with a guy, a dog, and the eagerness to make a house feel like home.

What began as a desire to put a personal touch on a house grew into a real residential contracting business: kitchens, bathrooms, additions, decks, whole-home remodels. We've stayed small on purpose. The owner is on every job site. The crew is the same crew you'll see week after week. And yes, Hendrix is part of the operation, although these days he mostly supervises from the truck.

We work the way our customers actually want a contractor to work. We show up when we say we will. We give itemized estimates instead of round numbers. We don't disappear between phases. And when we walk you through the finished space, we want you to want to invite us back, not just for the next project but for a cookout.

Chattanooga is home. Most of our crew grew up here. We know which houses have settling issues, which subdivisions have HOA quirks, and which suppliers actually return calls. That local context shows up in every estimate we write.

By the numbers

A small shop with a big track record.

We don't run a roster of 30 jobs at once. We run two to four projects deep at a time so every homeowner gets a contractor who actually knows the schedule, the budget, and the door swing on cabinet number 14.

What we believe

Four rules we don't break.

These aren't slogans. They're how we decide what to do when nobody's watching.

01
If we say it, we mean it.
A timeline is a commitment, not a hope. A budget is itemized, not a number we hide behind. If something changes, you hear it from us first.
02
One contractor, start to finish.
You won't get passed off to a project manager you've never met. The person who walks the job at the start is the person who hands you the keys at the end.
03
Clean job sites, every day.
Living through a renovation is hard enough. We sweep, we dust-wall, we keep tools where they belong. Your home is still your home while we're in it.
04
Finish work matters most.
Anybody can hang drywall. The trim, the caulk lines, the cabinet reveals: that's where a renovation either holds up for 20 years or starts looking tired in two.
