Report
We recently engaged Hinsbrook Construction to redo our basement bathroom. All of the tradesmen were very professional and cleaned up at the end of each day. Randy Hoekstra, the owner of Hinsbrook Construction, kept a close watch on the project and provided additional cleaning service when necessary. The craftsmanship was outstanding, and we have received nothing but compliments from our family and friends on our new bathroom.

Randy and his team of subcontractors did a major remodel on our house and they did an amazing job! They were clean, on time and very professional. Above everything the quality of their work was amazing. I can't recommend Hinsbrook Construction any more highly!

We recently completed a custom-built home with Hinsbrook Construction. We are very happy with the results. From foundation to landscaping, Randy and his team did an outstanding job, giving keen attention to detail and addressing our needs every step of the way. Randy has also been responsive and helpful in following up with us now that we are living in the home. I strongly recommend building with Hinsbrook Construction!

Just completed our second home addition project with Hinsbrook. The Hinsbrook team and subcontractors truly cared that our projects have been done right, on time and that we were completely satisfied. We were so happy with our first addition project we went with Hinsbrook again. It was fun to work with the same crew of dedicated craftsman we had worked with six years earlier
