Great Value




Review of Hammell Homes

They installed two interior doors and doorknobs. A great value for the cost; they procured doors, installed, varnished, and cleaned up.

Made my home dreams come true




Review of Hammell Homes

My family and I very much appreciate the highly professional custom outcome Hammell Homes blessed us with. My husband and I recently began making plans to renovate: replace our unsafe backyard steps, second floor flooring gaps, damaged walls and closet doors, broken bathroom sink, and kitchen back-splash. We could not be happier we were able to work with Rick Hammell on our special project! Hammell Homes literally made my 'Home' dreams come to life, and I feel eternally grateful they completely exceeded all of my husband's and my expectations. I'm completely in awe. My home is so much more lovely, as these massive upgrades feel magical at affordable prices! His creative and friendly staff were wonderful to work with, as each project was expedited with skilled efficiency. -I love my backyard, but it was unsafe to enter into before our gorgeous solid staircase was installed by Rick Hammell's pro-carpenters. Our 4 young children and 3 dogs appreciate the now worry-free access to our backyard, too! -I now enjoy my mama recharge time in our fresh and new bathroom. -When we moved into our home 8 years ago, the carpeting was new, but cheap. To say these luscious dark chocolate Pergo floors feel like an unbelievable upgrade would be a radical understatement. I now enjoy using my main staircase, and the entire second floor not only looks like a brand new house, but several large spongy portions of the floor now feel safe and solid. -Cooking is something I greatly enjoy as a tool to destress, while also nurturing my family. I love cooking even more with my new stunning back-splash to gaze into! Each tile is unique and brightly glistens under direct light. So, if you're at all on the fence about a new fence, or having anything else beautified at your residence or business, contemplate no further!

Fantastic




Review of Hammell Homes

Have used Hammell Homes three times over the last year. Kitchen plumbing for a leaking pipe. Most recent, to build a wall in a large bedroom to turn a 2-bedroom unit into a 3-bedroom. Hammell Homes did an excellent job in soundproofing the wall as requested, installed electrical outlets, and followed city code of installing five CO2 / smoke detector units throughout the unit. Rick Hammell responds quickly with questions via text / email / phone calls. Easy going - easy to work with as issues arise during construction.

Review of Hammell Homes

Mr. Rick Hammell and his heir apparent (Chauncey) came over and performed a service that was very conscientiously and thoroughly completed. They were professional, courteous, timely, and extremely reasonable. There is no one that I would recommend more than Hammell Homes.
