workmanship is fine, project management a disaster

I will recommend Harth Builders because from the start they outline what they will do to complete the project, how long it will take to complete the work, they communicate with us while the work is being done and they stand behind the work they do.

The experience was painless. The contractors were reliable and pleasant. Any concerns were immediately addressed. And most importantly, I am very happy with the results

Harth Builders' Team are very easy to work with. They communicate well and often to make sure we are all on the same page. Glad to be working with them.

In 2020, we decided to proceed with replacing our deck and also add a patio to our backyard. We met with Harth with my rough concept, and their Design team took it from there. Beginning in January, the build team began work and got the deck under roof before the snows came. Harth worked through the weeks of bitter cold and accumulated snow and delivered a final product that exceeded our expectations.

We have been absolutely thrilled with the design process! Tammie, Amy and Tyler listened to all of our concerns with the current lay out and function of our house as well as the design aesthetics. We are excited to begin the next phase of re-building!

I have been very happy with everything but consider Harth a higher end choice from a price and selections perspective. I would not recommend Harth to people looking for a basic/cost-conscience option but would highly recommended them to someone looking for best design and selections. Each of the people we have worked with were clearly engaged and experienced which is not always the case with other options. Our work wasn’t done yet so I am commenting on design and cost process only at this point.

I needed a high quality builder with the experience and resources to remove a load bearing wall and installing a metal beam to create a more open floor plan. I feel Harth Builders had the right team of designers and structural engineers to handle my project

They did very nice work, however it took a long time to complete.

My husband and I are very satisfied with the work of Harth Builders. They were a pleasure to work with, and they built us a garage which not only met, but great exceeded expectations.

When the work was done, 50% of it washed away and it took 8 weeks for them to fix the problem. They showed up the weeks later, without any contact.

Harth Builders was wonderful! We had no problems. They did everything they said they would do in the timeframe they said. They cooperated with us on every part of the project. It was a small project, but they treated it as if it were a big project.

They were fabulous from start to finish. I would recommend them to anybody.

Harth Builders had excellent, quality work! They did their best to deal with any delays in a timely fashion!

This is the second time we used them so we are very happy with them. There was one issue but it was resolved in a very professional, quick, and expedient way.

Change Anything

All staff were excellent to work with at all stages, from concept of design through project completion. Harth was the only firm that was interested in a project that was to develop a unique artistic space and studio. Appreciated the collaboration and full engagement of the team with morning huddles and end of day summaries. And my dog now has new best friends. This is the team that will make a unique idea a reality.

Change Anything

Change Anything - As with any project couple items that I would have possibly gone with my first instinct but there were factors such as financials that had to be considered. We are still working on one issue with the lighting, which at first may not have been considered as important by some but they now recognize the concern I have and are giving it full attention.

Areas Of Satisfaction

Areas Of Satisfaction - All staff were engaged and especially appreciated the work of the designer and lead carpenter and how they worked to talk through things and to reduce any concerns. I also appreciate that Greg H. was willing to take this project on when other companies just had no interest. Everyone seemed genuinely interested in creating a unique space. I also appreciated the daily status and review. Also, the fact that I introduced some ad-hoc type of wall features that they graciously assisted and incorporated into design.

And lof course, they spoiled my dog so they when extra points! Great group of people. Thank you!

Areas Of Satisfaction

Areas Of Satisfaction - I was most satisfied definitley in terms of the finished product and working with them. It was easy. We had a nightmare situation with a contractor, and having them come in afterwards was like a God send. We got a little trust back, and they told us what we did wrong by hiring an out of state contractor. If I need anything again, I would definitely use Harth Builders. They were very helpful, and I didn't feel stupid. They are also close by, so I could go to their office when I wanted.

The workers are also very skilled and very pleasant and clean. They are craftsmen, and they know what they are doing.
