Honey Creek Contracting

If  you want to hire an experienced contractor that understands time allowance, costs, and the right way to do things, hire Jack.  He finished my kitchen renovation that another contractor left unfinished a year ago.  I called Jack to paint, trim down, and install my closet door, properly finish my engineered flooring, including 5 thresholds the original contractor left undone, build and paint all my trim work, including custom made base, window, and door trim to match the rest of my house.   Jack finished painting what was left unpainted, filled in nail holes, sanded and painted throughout my kitchen.  He installed 2 built-in shelves,  3 door locks, hung 2 heavy mirrors and a coat rack for me.  He even stacked 3 cabinets on my back kitchen wall for me to give me more storage.  My kitchen is finally completed to my satisfaction, thanks to Jack.   I am very happy.
     Jack is a likable guy.  If you are honest with him, he will be honest with you.  He is a professional at what he does and it shows.  My job took a couple of days longer than estimated, but Jack stayed true to his original cost.

See above.

He did a good job, but I had a few problems.  He did fine, but it took him a long time for him to come back and fix some little things.  I asked him to give me bills on a few things and he never did that.  He did a good job and I liked his design concept.  I wanted the work to be done before my surgery, but it didn't.

The whole process started about a year ago when we had water in our basement after a heavy rain.  Not knowing who to call, we called Honey Creek Contracting.  They immediately sent someone out because they could hear the panic in my voice and they were on a job site close to us.  When they came out, they fully understood how we got the water in the first place and what needed to be done to correct the issue.  At that time, they gave us a "patch job" to get us through until we could have the entire roof replaced.  Prior to receiving this water in our basement, we had approximately four other roofing contractors out to diagnose the problem.  We heard everything from, "there is nothing wrong" to "it is your guttering."  After changing the guttering, and that did not help, we were back to square one, that is until HCC came out.

Fast forward to today, HCC has been on the job now for four days.  Our anticipated completion date is August 25, 2011.  You might think that is extremely too much time to put on a roof, but let me tell you, these guys have encountered just about everything that can go wrong!  Jack & Tom will NOT cover up something that needs to be redone.  They take their time and do it right the first time.  They understand that the Manufacturer's warranty that I recieve completely depends on how they do the installation and they will not let you down.  When taking off the old roofing, they found that some genius had not used any nails or screws to install our soffit and facia boards.  So, when they removed the roofing and got to the drip edge, everything else came tumbling down and it was that way all around our house!  Instead of covering up the issue and moving on, HCC has rebuilt the soffit boxes, replaced the facia boards and will be installing new soffit vents!  They will absolutely NOT cover up someone else's work, if it is not done to HCC's rigorous standards.  They are pulling off our old siding to make sure the roof will drain properly and not get behind the siding and cause our water problem again.

If you want someone to come in, do the work, and get out, Honey Creek Contracting and Jack Denny is probably not your best option.  They do not leave until the job is completed and completed correctly.  In talking it over with my wife (and Jack does not know this yet), when it comes time to redo our kitchen, he is our man!  There is not going to be any shopping around for contractors, it is going to be Honey Creek Contracting!  Jack and Tom Denny will always be welcome at our house!

The project went great.  There were some weather delays but all in all, they finished earlier than I thought they would.  The entire crew was professional and hard working. My house was built in 1916 and the roof was in terrible shape.  There were three layers of asphalt shingles on top of cedar shakes and it still leaked.  I decided to put a second story on but it was proving too much for one person to do. I called around and when I found Honey Creek on Angie's List, he was here the same day to inspect and take measurements.  The estimate was prompt as well.  The crew came out and re-tarped my bad roof because there were storms coming (before they even started on any of the removal). Everything is great now, I'm at a spot where I can finish the interior and the exterior house.  We just had a tremendous storm and there were no leaks! :) I have before and after pictures that I will try to upload so everyone can see how big of a job it was.  Including the clean up as the old roof was a lot of material in the yard. After all is said and done, I'd definitely hire them to tackle the projects I shouldn't or can't do.  I also highly recommend them for any construction needs.  I can't put into words how great of a job they did.

He is a very good contractor. He delivered what we were expecting. He paid attention to the project details. He was able to deliver the service on time. I would recommend him. The price was very reasonable. The quality of the work was very good.

Their work is excellent. Their professionalism and clean up is great as well.

We had decided to reroof and side our home and had gotten several estimates from other companies, Honey Creek Contracting came out and gave us not only an estimate but advice and ideas as well. Every day they were on site the guys were extremely polite and cheerful. I enjoyed them being there, they were very hard working and patient, never getting angry of frustrated when something went wrong... and with my old dilapidated house there were lots of unexpected problems, yet they tackeled every one with a positive note and a good solution. The job took longer than they expected but they were very detailed and and neat up to the very last moment. To say they left it cleaner than they found it would be an understatement. We are planning to do a room addition in the future and I will call NO ONE else for estimates... Honey Creek Contracting has our business from now on.

5 Star..from beginning to end.

Their estimate was not the cheapest I got, but a friend who is a retired contractor looked at all the estimates I had and said this one was the most thorough and that he thought the price was in line - that he probably couldn't do it any cheaper and I would invariably end up with some unpleasant surprises from the cheaper ones. Mr Denny was a bit slow in getting started, but it was largely due to trying to juggle projects already started with the excessive rain we were having. I had given him an absolute finish deadline and he had the job completed on time. He gave me all the possible options of how to do each of the three main parts of the jobs and gave me exactly what I asked for - even including a lot of extra work I know he did installing a special antique door I wanted to use between the kitchen and sun porch that didn't fit the opening and for which he practically had to move mountains to find hardware. I was especially impressed with his workers - they were POLITE, no foul language, never smoked where any smoke would get in the house, and when they did have a cigarette outside - THEY PICKED UP THE CIGARETTE BUTTS THEMSELVES!!!! It was obvious one of the workers was younger and less experienced and, as a teacher, I enjoyed observing how Mr. Denny supervised and taught him how to do every aspect of the work. They cleaned up the worksite at the end of each workday. Mr. Denny did a "walk-through" with me to double check that I was satisfied with everything when they were finished. Their workmanship was very good - especially considering they were faced with the challenges of tying new into existing materials. I probably should have borrowed the money to go ahead and replace all the sun porch windows at the same time - that's what he recommended,- but I was determined to stay in my cash budget. He purposely built the wall below the windows in such a way that when I'm ready to replace them, the work will tie in with minimal extra demolition required. I will certainly call him again for any remodeling work I need done.
