I have used the Hantel Construction Company twice. The first time was a small emergency floor job. Others that the insurance company suggested said they could do the job. Hantel came in saying no problem. They not only fixed the floor they covered problems caused by the clean-up crew. My second experience with them I had a off the wall idea for a small bath make over. They did not laugh nor turn me down. They worked out what would need to be done too make it happened. And now I have the most beautiful small bath one could ever imagine. Also friends that I know I can go to for any project.

We have used Hantel for three different projects: a major kitchen remodel, a semi-remodel/"facelift" for 2 bathrooms, and a kitchen repair project plus enhancements after some water damage. In each case, they brought great creativity to offering solutions, and superb workmanship. They not only met, but exceeded expectations.
