Additional Comments - Harth has been great, and will definitely look to hire again for any future projects

Initial conversations were impressive and promising. Through the early phases prior to investing in the design deposit, I felt heard and aligned with the harth team. However, once we started design selections, I kept asking where our selections were relative to my $150k budget ceiling. I was told we’d get to budget… not to worry about it yet. Every time.

After we had spent months on the design, we were finally presented the budget for our project: $250k. It was a bad experience to say the least.

The team had put custom cabinets in the proposal with other higher end pieces we didn’t need, and never asked for over a more budget friendly alternative . I wish the team had been transparent about selections early on so we could’ve said what we should be looking at, and warned against what to not add to the scope of work. I eventually had to convince harth to take the custom cabinets down to standard, which was frustrating again.

So many things turned into a negotiation that should’ve just been a conversation - but it felt like things were often considered 3 stages too late. Even the guys who did the project on site said we started the project before the kitchen was even delivered…. It was not what we were sold on.

I think Harth builders is A + …my only slight hesitation in recommending it to everyone is I think that it’s on the higher end in terms of costs, however I do think you get what you pay for and it’s worth every penny but not everybody would be OK with paying more money.

Better Service

Better Service - I think it would be really good if there was a designated day when the project leader actually went over how everything works with you like actually shows you how the dishwasher works. Shows you how the washer and dryer work …I’ve had a little bit of trouble, figuring out how to work the washer and dryer, I was provided with all of the instruction manuals, but I think just a once over to familiarize you with your new products would be helpful. I realize that’s additional time but I personally think that that would be kind of helpful.

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - We were so impressed with the quality and scheduling of all of the work--including the punch list. We would especially like to thank Chris Tilstra for doing such an amazing job running the project and handling all of our concerns.

The team and quality from our recent project was not as good as our previous project. After the first project I would have absolutely recommended Harth to anyone and completely felt like they were worth the money. After the most recent work I would be hesitant to recommend Harth and did not feel like they were worth what we were paying.

We’ve already recommended HHS to neighbors and Harth is on the list for an addition we’re considering

Harth Builders was extremely efficient and responsive. They do quality work. We are very pleased with the outcome. They have been very responsive to the minor issues which have surfaced since the completion of the project.

They did a great job.

The team is professional and courteous. Offers great design options and works with you to assure you get what you want. they make it easy.

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - kevin was great to work with. Nicest guy plus really was good at his job and did great work.

The Harth team is exceptional. They work to determine your needs, find solutions, and complete things on time!

A good option if you have a mixed assortment of tasks around the home. Get everything taken care at once!

Harth did an excellent job with a one-room remodel, creating a beautiful and professional space. I would certainly recommend Harth to anyone who wants a high-quality design and build experience with the ability to incorporate some custom details into the design process. The only downside I would call-out is that Harth is among the most expensive options we considered.

They do good work and stand behind it. I would recommend them taking the grades below into consideration.
