HRS Construction

The Orlando Homeless Services Center at Christian Services, 808 W Central Ave, in Paramore, needed a security fence and gate surrounding its campus buildings. It's a congested downtown property, and few contractors would work in those conditions. HRS took on the project at a fair market price and worked through many logistic and supply challenges to professionally complete the job. We are very satisfied with their work and grateful for their patience and kindness to our clients and staff.

I was putting an addition on the side of my house. I liked the owner Danny. He had great reviews so I hired him. The first thing I realized he had done was not only order the wrong truss but put it on with out my knowledge. I could not understand why the skylights had to be moved. The sky lights did not fit as planned. I repeatedly asked for an explaination and then he finally told me about the truss. I paid for a fourth skylight. At that time I requested larger skylights. But the original size skylight did not fit in the original location either. Later I found out that the two skylights were framed out shorter than the other two same size skylights. He put the floors in too low. If I didn't raise it, there would be a step down or a ramp into the addition. He refused to fix it. So, it cost me over 6 grand to raise the floor and retile with another GC. He told me he did it on purpose cause I put in a hidden door. Google hidden door in a room and see if there are any pics of different level floors with these doors. There was a large window there and no attempt was made to see the floor height of the connecting floor when the concrete was poured for the addition. After he wanted to charge me 2 grand for stationary closet shelves I had ended the relationship with out having him put in the door. His superintendent and field coordinator had no construction experience at all and no training. I know this cause one of them told me. The owner only came out if there were issues. I had an extra light switch that went to nowhere. I had bought the fan before any electric was done and showed them my fan switch. I have the receipt. I have all receipts and saved all written conversations. I have heard his sister is a very good lawyer. The ground around the addition was never leveled. Since there was no gutter on the plan and he didn't write it in...I had to pay someone to add a gutter to the addition. I wish I had hired someone to look at his work as he was doing it. I honestly didn't see the mistakes before I paid him except for the skylights being moved. The large window was where the door was going and it was not cleaned up when he left. Also I don't know much about this kind of thing. I took 7.5 months. But it was around covid. I fought with him for a good month before looking to hire someone to fix and finish. I had to find and then wait for a new GC. I could have written this earlier since it's been about a year since I paid him. He was not the person I had thought I had hired. His found his work to be sloppy and I was left with having to hire someone to fix and finish. I have told all my neighbors my option.

Workmanship was excellent and project was completed in a very timely manner!

The work was excellent and the process was well organized.

Danny and his staff were great to deal with. Not only was the work done well, but Danny even came up with design of the kitchen for us too!

It was awesome! Danny was super professional, friendly and never made me feel dumb for asking what were probably dumb questions. I'm already planning the next room to remodel!

We were so satisfied with HRS that we have hired the company for 3 separate projects. The first was to remove windows and install a casement window in our bedroom. The second was to prepare the concrete foundation for a 800 sq ft. shed and install a bathroom/plumbing, insulation, drywall, electrical/lighting, and AC to be used as an artist's studio. The final project was to waterproof, replace rotted window framing, and paint the exterior of our home build in 1928. Danny Sorondo was a pleasure to work with. He is amiable, he always responded to our calls in a timely manner, and he came up with workable solutions to every problem that arose. His crew was professional and highly skilled.

They did a terrible job and I'm getting ready to take this on the court.

Best contractor I have ever done business with.

Work was carried out efficiently, effectively, and professionally. We would not hesitate to hire them again.

The owner was excellent and did what he said he was going to do. However, I happened to be home when the workers did the work. First, the head worker told me I needed $1,000 more framing work after they removed the paneling. He also asked if it was an insurance job. I told him that they were already higher than the insurance normally paid for the work and I hit the budget with the cost already. He then told me he didnt have to do the framing. He went and got the new insulation, and they started putting R19 in my attic rather then R30 which was Florida code. I pointed it out to them and his response was, he said I am glad you said something now, I am putting back what was there. I told him I am not paying for R19. I am paying to have this brought to code and was quoted R30. They had to pull it out and go get R30 to install. I was also quoted cedar and pine and I asked for cedar. Because I had the issue with the insulation, I texted the owner and told him to make sure they put cedar and not pine since I am paying for it. The worker then came to my door and said he was glad I said something because he didnt know about the cedar and it would cost more. He said he didnt get a work order for this job. I told him that it sounded like he needed to talk to the owner. I told him if they put pine, I wanted my cost adjusted. They ended up putting pine rather than cedar. I would expect a general contractor to follow building codes and I should not have to check up on work done. They ended up doing a nice job, however I recommend you keep track of everything they are doing to make sure you are getting what you are paying for. This did not include removing my light fixtures or the paint. I had to pay extra for the paint and getting the light fixtures put back up. I got comparative estimates for the work from my insurance and it was about $500 less what what I had done.

HRS is the best of the best. They are extremely reliable and trustworthy. I would recommend them for any work.

I have been very pleased with their honesty, integrity, and promptness. Their follow up has been great as well. They've been a pleasure to work with.

The team exceeded out expectations. The design was exactly what we needed. It was practical and cost effective. The quality of work was outstanding. The team had a strong work ethic, high integrity, and a high level of professionalism. We have already decided to hire this company to do additional work for us.

Home Renovations is an amazing group of professionals that you can count on for all your home & office needs. One call & they do it all! They are very prompt to respond to requests, and communicate every step of the way. Even when something unexpected is found, they stop & call us! We love that they give us options. They are very reliable, honest and affordable. I simply do not know what I would do without them, they have saved us so many times.

All went very well. Owner was attentive to our needs and scheduled work as needed. Quotes were detailed so there was no misunderstanding. Workmen were polite and helpful. Work was completed in a timely manner to our satisfaction. We've hired them on 2 occasions. We plan to hire again soon.

All went according to schedule, and the work was perfect.
