Great team, easy to work with and completed the significant project on time - an unheard of feat. We are incredibly happy with our remodel and have already referred friends who are now underway with theirs! Much appreciation to all who were involved.
Construction is well underway now. Walls are being framed. We remain impressed with H & H's attention to detail overall. In particular Dan Bailey (foreman/supervisor) has been outstanding at ensuring work is done to plan and to expected quality, juggling many competing priorities to ensure the sub contractors have what they need, when they need it to keep on track, and he's gone above and beyond to help us solve for some specific asks related to ensuring impact to existing landscaping is minimized.
H & H Builders did a fantastic job. They did it on schedule and in budget!
They did a fantastic job. Any minor delays were addressed quickly. There were no major delays. There was a 45-day punch list after the original was completed to address anything that arose after I moved back in. There is a 2-year warranty. I find all of this exceptional.
We appreciated the extensive knowledge and expertise of the design and construction staff. It made us feel confident in choosing this team to complete our home renovation. We are happy with our final product!
Professional & Organized - We enjoyed everyone we worked with - professional and responsive.
Expertise - Very experienced staff in all areas of engineering, construction and design.
Subcontractors Professionalism - Excellent work done. No issues here.
Problem Resolution - Any issues or concern that we brought up was addressed and a resolution was found.
Construction Quality - The overall design and construction is great and very well done. There were some minor issues (trim around the island and doors, door thresholds, for example) but those were addressed and fixed as part of the punch list.
Subcontractor Concerns - N/A - the work all looks great. Love the tilework, flooring, trim and paint
Areas For Improvement - Perhaps a bit more proactive communication around changes, timelines, when things would be happening. However, whenever I did send out a communication, I always got a prompt and courteous response.
Areas Of Satisfaction - Expertise and knowledge - fully trusted John, Michael, Nicole and Jason and their experience in the field. The design is beautiful, functional and were are really happy with all the selections we made.
Remodeling Concerns - We live in an old house and this was a big undertaking for us, so we didn't know what was possible or what to expect. The knowledge and experience on the team really made us feel feel comfortable with moving forward on our prohect.
So easy to work with, very friendly, and a lot of talent
I am satisfied with the quality of the work. I think some of the communication in some of the cost overruns that have come up could have been better.
We have already recommended H&H to others.
Overall we were pleased with the final product we received from H&H, and also with their communication and commitment to helping bring to life what we were hoping to achieve with the space. They fell quite behind and we didn't really ever get true designer support, which is the only reason this is not a 5 out of 5.
H&H Builders have done multiple medium/large remodeling projects on our 80-year old home. We could have paid less, but I think the quality and professionalism was worth it each time!
After a few small and a few large construction projects, I have learned that most important thing about a contractor is how they handle problems that arise. I've never seen a project that didn't have some unexpected challenge. Most good companies get the work done eventually in some form, but how they respond to problems, fix sub-par work, and overall handle challenges during a project makes or breaks the end result and experience. Our project started in 2021 right as a severe supply and labor shortage struck. As a result of this, H&H suffered the same problems as the whole industry, and was left scrambling as subcontractors they had worked with for years couldn't fill the jobs. Our project had a number of serious quality problems as a result, but Jason and John came out and inspected the work when I raised concerns, got the right people in to fix it in a timely fashion, and fixed things properly. When things we had ordered months before suddenly couldn't be had, they found a way to get them or found us excellent substitutes. When we found unexpected materials and design problems (our house was built in 1925), they drew up cost-effective solutions and made it work. In short, the last year was a very challenging year to undertake a large project on a very old home, and at the end of the day, H&H got the work done, fixed any problems that arose, and we are very happy with the product. If I have work I need done in the future, I'll turn to H&H again because I can trust that at the end of the day I'm going to end up with high-quality work, and that they will finish the project in a timely fashion.
I already have recommended H & H to neighbors and friends.
Great crew. Very happy with decisions and communication during the project.
We were very disappointed with the entire experience and lack of customer service from David and John. We also never received a thank you or follow up after spending $210,000. Not even an email, text, or call for a thank you for investing in this partnership. We also never received any sort of follow up from the survey responses we provided mid-project. If you're going to send a survey and see any areas for improvement or dissatisfaction from the client, it is good business to follow up, address it, and figure out how you are going to resolve it. David's lack of professionalism made him seem apathetic towards our project, your company, and our wallet. We are just surprised after all the years H&H has been in business, we experienced lack of professionalism, lack of organization, systems and processes.
Additional Comments - They did a great job. The staff was incredible.
Change Anything - I wouldn't change anything. I was 100% happy and satisfied with the entire process of working with H&H Builders. I trusted their integrity and very much appreciated their communication style. I am thrilled with how my project turned out and would use them again for any future projects
Areas Of Satisfaction - There were many areas. The quality of work was superb. The were prompt and respectful, and always followed through with plans. I felt very comfortable with everyone that was in my home. I appreciated all the efforts to communicate with me, including detailed emails and weekly meetings to go over the project.
Additional Comments - I have typically found construction projects to be very stressful. I have worried about the quality of work I was receiving, and didn't necessarily trust the integrity of the contractors. It was a breath of fresh air to work with H&H Builders, because I did not feel that way with them.
Areas Of Satisfaction - A) lead carpenter system B) weekly meetings and meeting minutes C) the timely manner in which the job was completed D) the way they made it easy to live in the house while the project was ongoing E) the level of craftsmanship F) the way they broke down our part of it into manageable tasks G) the courtesy and professional attitudes of all staff and subs H) H&H !!
Value - Pride and quality of work were outstanding. The design was very well thought through and the difficulty of remodeling a 1937 Tudor presented challenges that most contractors would have struggled with and H&H seemed well equipped to manage.
Areas Of Satisfaction - The overall experience beginning with the design stages and weekly progress meetings to the follow up on change and upgrade orders was great. Of course, the end result of all of their hard work to make our dream home is the most satisfying part. We loved the design from John and appreciated his expertise and genuine desire to be fair and leave us happy. Joe was the ultimate professional on site go-to person. He was always thorough, considerate and demonstrated an A+ work ethic as well as being a talented craftsman. Michael always provided great insight, design ideas and out of the box thinking. Tyler clearly took pride in bringing to life all the historic features and charm of our remodeled home. He is an extraordinary carpenter. Brian came in towards the end and was professional and courteous, he clearly inspired to make sure things were completed to our satisfaction.
Current Referrals - We have already passed H&H on to others and will continue to recommend you as the first and best choice for home remodels. Thank you for making our dream home a reality.

Areas Of Satisfaction - I thought the planning was top drawer. The implementation was superb. The crew was dedicated, knowledgeable, and expert. I wish I had more money to dedicate to my house, H & H was excellent!
Additional Comments - H & H was a super outfit!! Our house remodel took 2nd place at a Remodeling Association Award Night. It won a best design award for a remodel of its size, 2nd Place. That speaks for itself, I'd imagine.
Areas Of Satisfaction - I feel the communication was excellent as was the quality of work
Areas Of Satisfaction - Quality and information. We could not be happier with the quality of work and the attention given to the project. Jose, The Lead Carpenter was onsite and working every day throughout the project. H&H kept us informed with weekly meetings and we always new what was coming next.
Remodeling Concerns - The cost was a big concern. They helped us understand what it was going to cost. We knew that there are always surprises, and they helped us through that as well. Also, they helped us with the design phase. I didn't know what I wanted in some instances, and they came up with some great ideas. They really helped with the design, which was something that I was concerned about.
Additional Comments - They did a great job and made suggestions, as far as design, that we would not have originally thought of ourselves.
Areas Of Satisfaction - John and Brent handled everything very professionally making it easy on me.
Additional Comments - We enjoy our new home!

Subcontractor Concerns - H & H Builders already took care of any issue I had during my project.
Remodeling Concerns - I was concerned about their capability to do the job correctly and thoroughly. I spoke to a couple other companies but they did not seem to have the resources necessary for a project of this magnitude. I went with H & H Builders because I wanted it done right.
Additional Comments - H & H Builders took a tiny, two bedroom, one car garage house and transformed it into a mini-mansion. I did not think it could be done, but I absolutely love my house! I specifically wanted the house to be elderly friendly and ensure all aspects were accessible. H & H Builders accommodated each wish and they produced a beautiful product that was everything I wanted it to be!
Current Referrals - I have recommend to a couple of people. I'm not sure if they followed through. I would feel totally comfortable recommending them to anyone.

Areas For Improvement - Impossible! They exceed expectations! :)

Areas Of Satisfaction - The quality of the work was very good.
Warranty - H & H is quite remarkable in this regard and responds promptly to warranty issues.
Areas For Improvement - None, H & H built what we agreed on in the scope of work, but as this was my first ever project like this, I do wish that I'd been better prepared to envision some aspects of the work and asked more questions about some parts of the process.
Areas Of Satisfaction - 1. Weekly construction meetings were very helpful and a good time to discuss any issues during the construction. 2. H & H construction schedule/timetable was spot on and they never fell behind on the schedule.3. I was living in my home during the construction and even when my roof was off, H & H made sure we were never cold or wet even though construction took place largely during the winter months.4. H & H responded promptly to any concerns that I had an made a few late evening visits back to the site to deal with a few unexpected issues that arose.5. Many of the subcontractors who worked with H & H on my project commented that John Happel is great to work with as they know they will be paid on time for their portion of the job.
Additional Comments - I would certainly consider H & H fa strong contender or any future home remodeling projects I might undertake.
