We were just about to give up on a project we had discussed for over a year and could not get a remodel contractor to respond to our emails or phone calls, and then we found Hunter Riley Construction online. Chris answered our call right away, came out to look at our project - - converting a coat closet in our condo into a pantry - - within a few days, and asked if we had any ideas or photos of what we wanted the finished product to look like. Then, within a week, he emailed to us different plans for our project to review with several great upgrades that he suggested, and also stopped by to discuss what options we wanted plus any possible tweaks. In a very short time we had custom made cabinets with a beautiful butcher block counter top, exactly what we had wanted. Chris also matched the stain for the trim and custom-made wood doors to our kitchen cabinets. We really wanted just a pantry to store canned goods, crock pots, etc., and quite honestly we ended up with a quality built addition to our condo that we are proud to show off. Chris is very easy to work with, does quality, professional work and has excellent communication skills. He is a pleasure to work with, and we will definitely be asking him to work with us on future projects.

Chris did amazing work on my home. He took my ideas and turned them into reality. There were a lot of moving parts and coordination between Chris and the crew of plumbers & electricians he used to get the job done. Everyone was super professional and went above and beyond. Chris is very gifted in his craftsmanship. He completed on time AND on budget. I highly recommend Chris for any remodeling projects. I will be using him again.

Chris has remodeled our kitchen, did a custom railing for our foyer and has replaced our windows! He is an excellent carpenter who is very focused and detailed. I highly recommend him!

Didn't write down an 'estimate'.....I trusted him because I knew him from a working relationship. I thought that $750 per day meant a full day's work, 8-5, which didn't happen. (I even fed lunch!) Then, less than 18 hours after we received the bill, HR filed a Mechanic's Lien. Wouldn't talk to us about it. If I could give negative stars, I would.

Chris did an excellent job on our home! We had a standard closet with door, that he knocked down some of the wall to extend the closet and open it up. He redid the all of the shelves, tore up the carpet that was in the closet, redid the hard wood floor underneath, and put a barn door on to utilize both sides of the closet. We also talked to Chris about our issues with our soffits and fascia's. He showed us what the issues were and he replaced everything with no problem. I highly recommend Hunter Riley Construction for you projects!

Chris was the ideal craftsman to work with for our over a century old farmhouse kitchen renovation. He appreciated the uniqueness of our older home and handled all of the curveballs a renovation like it involved. He was always on time, had great ideas that worked within our budget, would let us know if unforeseen obstacles cropped up, and had a great group of professionals he worked with along the way. I trust him fully. Our kitchen turned out better than I could have ever imagined and we plan to use him again in the future for other home renovations along the way.
