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.

Report
Communications between the kitchen designers and the installation team were severely lacking. Items discussed in meetings and approved by the design team were not communicated to the installers. Thus, items we thought were included in the project were not completed. We were sadly disappointed with the response from the company regarding their lack of concern when we brought this to their attention. BEWARE if you contract with this company.
