Hurray Construction

unknown

Thomas was a pleasure to work with.
The job proved more complicated than I anticipated. Joists had to be shaved and most of plywood sub-flooring replaced. Thomas arrived when he said he would, worked hard, and finished when he said he would. His work work was top notch and hardwood installers had no problems with the sub-floor in the area (most of a dining room) that Thomas reworked.
I strongly recommend him.

They communicate very well and explain any issues well. They are on time and were under the quote. The work they do is beautiful.

I recently decided to finish the remodel of a small bathroom. I had previously removed the existing flooring and vanity/sink. I replaced the flooring with granite tiles and purchased a complete vanity kit with vessel sink. I did the work myself as it was fairly easy and straight forward. I did not touch the bathtub, which had a basic gray tile surround, or tub fixtures. I was afraid the job would be too difficult for me, and I didn't have the money to hire someone else to do the work. That was back in 2007. The bathroom remained the same until December 2011.

I researched several companies here on Angie's List and ended up going with Hurray Construction. I found Tom to be very easy going and professional. He listened very carefully to me when I explained the scope of the work. I wanted him to remove the existing tile and tub fixtures and install new ceramic tile with a glass accent boarder as well as install a fairly complex tub spout / shower head / hand shower combo fixture. I also asked that he create a shower niche. During our initial consultation Tom mentioned that one of his specialties is tile work, including niches. After he left, I felt very good about our consult. The next day I received the estimate. I thought it was very fair and reasonable. I decided to go with Tom, because I felt he best understood my taste and what I ultimately wanted to have, and I felt confident his tile work would be the best.

Tom arrived promptly every day. The total job took about 5 days. Depending on what was needed on each day, he either came alone or with a helper. He always cleaned up after himself before leaving each day. He explained to me the schedule and he kept to that schedule. When he started doing the plumbing work for the new fixtures, Tom discovered the existing plumbing and framing that surrounded it was a problem. The existing framing was located in a spot that made it nearly impossible to fit the new plumbing required, since the new fixtures were much more complicated than the old. He worked very hard to make sure it all fit. He even called the company that manufactured the fixtures to make sure he was installing it correctly. In the end he determined the drawings provided by the company were wrong. It was at that time that I realized I made the right decision to go with him.

Later when he started the tile work, he asked me for my opinion on several design options. When it came time for the niche, I told him I'd like it to be entirely done with the glass accent tile, but I was concerned I didn't buy enough. Well, somehow he made it work. He was very precise when it came to laying out the tile. He mitered the corners to make sure the niche looked just right. I've done tile work before, but Tom thought of things I never would have. He did an excellent job.

At one point in the remodel, I asked if he would install a new bathroom fan. That ended up requiring some framing. He did charge me a little extra to do that work, but I think it was well worth it in the end. After Tom was done, I hired another company to resurface my bathtub and another company to install a glass shower door.

After everything was done, I was so pleased with the results. Tom is very cool. He has good design aesthetics. He's completely reliable, and he does what he says he'll do. I highly recommend him.

The overall experience was great. I called around and got three bids. Thomas was competitively price and seems much more professional than the other contractors. He was able to start in two days, he started on time, and finished on time. He really did a wonderful job and was methodical in every detail. He also didn't mind our dog following him around which was an added bonus. I would definitely recommend Thomas for your tile needs.

Thomas Hurray came out two days after I contacted him. He gave me an estimate later that same day. He then came out to complete the work within a short time period. I was so pleased with the quality of his work and his professional approach. He is a very nice guy, and does great work in a timely manner. And he was also the lowest bid. He has now given me a bid on another project amd I have hired him to do the job. He plans to complete it very soon. I highly recomment him.

Tom is an outstanding general contractor. He was always on time, professional, and did an extraordinary job of meeting our needs even during the holidays. He's the kind of guy who calls you on his way home at night to make sure that you're ok with how the job looks when you come home, even in the middle of the job. He took on every task with good cheer and an open mind, even though we changed the job at multiple points along the way.

Although we have graded an A on quality, it should be noted that this is an A for a and quot;general contractorand quot; quality. Tom is not a carpenter or mason, so you get a different level of shelf quality than if you hire a master carpenter to build in shelves out of oak or such, or if you hire a master mason to build a glass brick wall. But given the scope and breadth of the project and that he did all of it himself, it's hard to give him anything less. You can spend more and achieve slightly more perfect results, but that would require hiring different people for each of the pieces. Hurray Construction is tough to beat if you want to hire in one place to do a complex job. We'd work with him again in a heartbeat, and in fact, we plan to do so.

Easy to work with, prompt and timely. Clean and respectful.

Hurray Construction completed an extensive remodel of an existing bathroom for me. My existing bathroom was completely gutted and all of the old fixtures removed. The walls and ceiling taken down to the studs and the old tile floor removed. Structural work included moving one wall so we could make the bathroom a bit larger, adding new framing and supports to the ceiling/attic in order to accommodate new lighting and a fan, and also reinforcing the floor. The new finishes included beautifully installed and detailed tile work around the tub surround (with a custom built recessed soap dish) and a marble mosaic tile floor with an accent trim border. The new walls, new ceiling, new wood trim around the window and door, as well as the new baseboard, all completed with careful attention to detail. The new window, heat mat under the marble floor, the tub, toilet, sink, vanity, recessed medicine cabinet and all lights, switches, outlets, and other fixtures were all installed exactly as I wanted. Thomas Hurray was great to work with. His work was detailed and professional and he was helpful throughout the project with good ideas and suggestions whenever needed. He provided a clear and complete bid for the job very promptly and coordinated all of the work that was completed by his plumbers (new water lines, drains, and waste pipes, as well as a new water line from the street) and his electrician (new wiring, recessed lighting, ventilation fan, switches, outlets, gfi, etc.).

It went great. He was happy to take a look at anything that wasn't working right in my home. I know they usually do bathroom and kitchen remodels and other bigger jobs, but I thought I'd start small and when I can have them do the bigger stuff for me shortly, and they were happy to give comments and work on it all.
