They stayed on schedule and on budget. Very professional staff.
Construction was great
Areas Of Satisfaction - The HDR employees and contractors exceeded my expectations.
Recognized Excellence - I would like to recognize everybody I worked with. Alberto did a really great job.
HDR has been a provider of both kitchen refreshing and handyman services for me for many years. This experience gave me confidence in the quality of their service and the integrity of their business ethics. I was not disappointed. The materials used were excellent, and the workers were even better. The schedule was adhered to well.
HDR transformed my living room into a stylish, more functional living space. My new fireplace combines natural materials in a simple, elegant way that is flexible and accommodates my eclectic decorating ideas.

Additional Comments - It has been a pleasure working with HDR.
Lead Source - We did an online search for Attached Dwelling Unit projects and were impressed with the reviews we read.
Areas Of Satisfaction - HDR was very accurate with costs and project completion timeline.
Recognized Excellence - Alberto Navarro was exceptional in managing our project from start to finish. An excellent listener and communicator, he showed up when expected and dealt with every issue to our satisfaction.
I already have recommended HDR to a number of people.
Very professional team, high level of customer service and very high quality. Our project manager Alfredo Landeverde helped take care of so many details from start to finish and was especially invaluable. We love our remodeled kitchen!
Lead Source - They are in our neighborhood and we like to support local businesses so explored working with them.
Areas Of Satisfaction - They were very responsive and we knew each week where the project was headed and if we were on track with schedule.
I already have.
Likely To Recommend - I already have.
Areas Of Satisfaction - I was most satisfied with how good the design looks and thinking through what the kitchen was going to look like. They were able to be adaptive to how we wanted a different design process than they normally do. We ended up with something really beautiful.
Recognized Excellence - I would recognize everyone, they were really thoughtful. The crew was great and so were Milton, Chris, and Kevin.
The final product is beyond our dreams. We wake up every day and look at it in awe. Our original house, which HDR converted to open-concept, now matches the style and elegance of the addition that was built 25 years ago. HDR worked with our vision and budget. They were professional, reliable, and kept us apprised. We would happily work with HDR again and recommend them to others.
This is our second large remodel with HDR. A few years ago they renovated the top floor of our house, and we recently had them back to work on the basement where we carved out a new bedroom from a family room, enlarged closets, added steps, installed new doors and windows, completely gutted and built a new bathroom, added built-in bookcases, and installed new oak trim throughout. It was a large, 4 month construction project. They're not the cheapest out there, but paying a little more buys a lot of peace of mind. The workmanship is excellent and the project (outside of our own change orders) was on time and on budget.

Likely To Recommend - Definitely
Areas For Improvement - They didn't. I call them on a last ditch thing. Didn't know if I needed a handyman or a contractor and I didn't know if he could access it for me. It turned out to be a large problem. I had a leaky roof and dry rot was occurring. He not only accessed it, but he had people here on time. They were very timely and got me in at the proper time.
Areas Of Satisfaction - The speed at which it took place. It took from beginning to end just three weeks. That including a new roof, roof repair, ceiling repair, painting to be done and the south side of house for water resistance. It was phenomenal in three weeks. It was just great.
Recognized Excellence - I would like to recognize Chris Fellows. He is the foreman on the job and he was critical to making it all happen. Also a shout out to Phillip, it was fun to see him after all these years.
Additional Comments - I am veery pleased and sorry I didn't get around to doing this sooner.
I am very happy with my new bathroom. It was supposed to be a guest bath but I like it so much that I use it often. The designers worked with me to lighten the room and provide the special features I wanted such as a soaking tub and luxury tiles, while staying within my budget. The work was carried out on schedule. It was well-organized and neat, without much inconvenience.
Areas Of Satisfaction - scheduling and accessability. The team that worked in our house daily was great and very respectful of our home.
Recognized Excellence - The foreman on the job, Alfredo, was great. He and the team did great work and insured the work area was clean at the end of every day. We are very happy with their workmanship.

HDR did a great job. From start to finish, every detail was painstakingly seen to. They helped me to make great choices for every aspect of my remodel and the quality of their workmanship is truly superior.
Areas Of Satisfaction - I loved their ideas about design and their attention to detail. They really helped with making sure their work looks good. My house has some unusual aspects such as slightly sloping floors. The work they did helped to make these flaws less visible and minimize their impact on the appearance of the new spaces to the absolute greatest degree possible.
I do recommend HDR. Mostly I had a positive experience with them. Very friendly and professional and I felt that we know each other at individual level.
Areas For Improvement - At some occasions we felt that we would like to not to repeat the same concerns at meetings to get finally addressed.
Areas Of Satisfaction - After the bathroom remodel was done, designer, Heather, brought up concerns and solutions, which was changing the cabinet's color and light fixture. We satisfied with the light fixture and agreed to change the color of cabinet to suit more the original design idea. They did it for free and we are very satisfied with their professionalism and honesty.
Recognized Excellence - Chris Fellows and Kevin Mond

Areas Of Satisfaction - We are happy that Chris (et al.) shares our same high quality expectations of workmanship.
Recognized Excellence - I would like to recognize Chris's attention to detail and his always-accommodating manner. I would also like to recognize Alfredo's (and Alberto, Andres and Juan's) hard work and cheerful attitudes. I felt extremely comfortable having them in the home when we weren't there, when I was there alone, or when I was there with kids running around. I suppose I should also recognize Philip's amazing abilities to oversee (literally from across the street) the project : )
