H2 DEVELOPMENT INC

About us

Ed Hatterschide and Phil Hartz are H2 Development, general contractors with over twenty years in the home remodeling business. Ed and Kristi lead busy lives, very centered around their three great kids, Alberta, attending the University of Minnesota, and Robin and Bennett, still at home. Phil and Barb's lives have taken on a new dimension. Barb refers to herself as a "casualty" of the Northwest/Delta merger, commuting to and from Atlanta to Sweet Home Minnesota. Both are dedicated to family life, enjoying activities that include music, sports, camping and fishing. They compliment each other nicely. When family demands intervene, they cover for each other, overseeing that a project continues on time, on course. They are respectful that their "job site" is someone's "home," and attempt to keep the family's upheaval to a minimum while working in their home. They are receptive to family glitches, children and/or pets in the mix.

Very well. Ed supervised the workers very well, they in turn were professional and very careful and neat.

They did an excellent job building the new deck.  We have worked with them before in an extensive bathroom remodeling and in repairing storm damage to our house, and have never been disappointed.  They and the contractors that they use do their work with unmatched quality and attention to details.  Early in the construction, Phil told us that the deck framing was 1/4 inch out of square but that it would be fixed when they completed the rest of it.  1/4 inch in a 20 foot deck?  Who would ever notice that?  That's just one example of how meticulous they are.

I didn't have them do any remodeling because I have just one toilet and couldn't be without a toilet for 3 weeks. They offered to put a toilet in the basement for me to use, but it would be more money for something I wouldn't use after the bathroom was remodeled. They got the plan back to me in a timely manner.

Phil did a great job of listening to what was important to us for our kitchen redesign. He had good ideas that met our needs and was prompt in the service he provided. H2 did the design for our kitchen. Although they bid for the construction work I wanted to do the work myself so did not hire them. Their bid was complete and I have confidence they would have done a good job on the construction.

I'm afraid this put me always at the bottom of their lists. I had to call and email several times through this process to finally get my plans sent to me. Rated lower on professionalism as I was chastised in one of his emails because he said I should have used the deal sooner. I called him on it and he did apologize.

The finished products looks great. The doors should have been ordered sooner. The painter who worked on the stain did a great job. They did a great job.

I had hired another contractor to start this project. I hired H2 to finish it. I was unsure of H2 because their costs were vague. When their bill came, is was fair and reasonable. I should have hired H2 in the beginning.

Excellent. Phil is very attentive to detail. Work done on schedule. I have worked as a master electrician for several decades. I know construction. I can no longer work. I am pleased with the quality of their contacting and fair price.

We couldn't be happier with H2 Development. Phil is wonderful to work with. He gave us regular updates on the work (by e-mail almost every night) and made sure we were satisfied with the work. The people he subcontracts with for things he doesn't do himself are top notch. In particular, the person who did the sheet rock was outstanding. The ceilings are sloped and the lines in the sheet rock were perfect. Phil is extremely professional, has high standards, and cares about the customer. The work was done promptly and was high quality. Phil is also very personable. I highly recommend this company. Excellent work, excellent value. We have since used H2 Development for a second project and will use them again in the future whenever we need work done.

It was nice that either Phil or Ed (the two H2 owners) or both were here almost every day, whether they were doing the work themselves or just checking to make sure their subcontractors were doing things correctly. They were great to work with both personally and professionally. The quality of their work was outstanding. We have not had any problems, but they guarantee their own work, as well as the work that subcontractors did.
It was evident that Phil really took pride in his work and with the final results. I think he was almost as excited and pleased as we were with the final results. I highly recommend them.

We are not yet finished but are ahead of estimated schedule. They began the work as scheduled. They are kind, considerate and patient with us. The boys and the dog have new best friends. They went out of their way to make sure the house was not unnecessarily invaded and always clean up at the end of the day. The quality of workmanship is exceptional. Even the smallest details are attended to. We are now in the process of waiting for the counter tops to be finished as per plan.

I purchased a coupon for $49 for a consultation and 3D drawing of a bathroom remodel. They came to take a look at the bathroom; explained how many people had purchased coupons and how busy they were. They said they would get back to me with the drawing and explain the plan. I never did get the drawing and didn't hear back from them. It was a waste of my $49 as I received absolutely no benefit.
Response from H2 DEVELOPMENT INC
"Member, I regret that you are dissatisfied with our communications over this project. Per our phone conversation, I did admit that we were behind with these coupon offers and were taking longer than we wanted getting back to you. Then, I did call and email you a few times to set up a meeting to discuss the plans, but received no response. I assumed that you were no longer interested, so I contacted Angies List on 8/29/12 to refund your $49. If you haven't received it, I will make sure you do. Please confirm your mailing address. All our customers are important to us. We do take your unhappiness seriously and want to make this right. Thanks Ed Hatterschide, H2 Development Inc. 612 290 8151 [email protected]"

Excellent workmanship, attention to detail, and communication and responsiveness and straight forward honesty.
They were wonderfully respectful and accommodating to my pets (large dog and a few cats) during the project.
Also did a very good job of cleaning up after themselves every day before leaving my house.
Ed did a great job following up with me as appropriate during the project asking for feedback and whether I had any concerns with quality, clean up, and etc. He also was very respectful and responsive to all my questions and any little nits and nats of concerns I raised along the way.
One time there was a very MINOR electrical issue that a certain outlet was not working where I had my bed temporarily relocated to, I called him that evening simply to report it to be addressed, and he offered to do whatever it would take to make sure I was OK that evening, even if it meant coming over that evening with extension cords to get me by! It was not a big deal to me and I was able to handle it just fine until they were able to get there, which turned out to be first thing the next morning to correct. His willingness to go above and beyond however should be duly noted.
There was some scope creep during the project as a result of issues noted along the way [not surprising with my house], like with my electrical service, insulation, and some exterior issues with the brick siding, and etc.. What I really appreciated as these and quot;issuesand quot; arised, was how Ed would explain the situation with no pressure for me to spend extra money, he simply explained the facts and offered alternate solutions, cheapest to most expensive, as well as and quot;do nothingand quot;, and left it to me with no pressure. In some cases after taking these to my independent designer, I chose a few of the more costly solutions for the sake of the long run resale value of my house and etc. I really like that I was given more than one option to consider rather than being manipulated into the most expensive option as if it were the only solution!
Also, I really appreciated, that although I used someone else for the carpet purchase and install, Ed chose to work around that schedule to have final paint coat and stain and related touch up be done after the carpet install, when he was under no obligation to do so. He could have just done all the work per contract to the letter, and then leave and whatever happens with the remainder of my project (nicks and scratches from carpet install or whatever) oh well,so be it. But he wanted to make sure it would be in good shape for my final product, indicative of his desire to make sure I was satisfied overall regardless. He also threw in a couple small and quot;freebiesand quot; along the way that technically were not in the contract just to make sure things would look great when all was said and done.
I think he does great work with integrity.

Bought the offered $50 design Angie's List special. Frankly, disappointed. First visit, something was wrong with computer. Ended up over a week later with an ultra-simple drawing of the existing bathroom for $50. I could have done that online with Home Depot's web design program and 5 minutes of taking measurements.
Nice enough, and professional behaviors, just was a waste of time and $50.

Project was excellent-quote was under original estimate, work was begun on time and completed on time. I increased the work by 50% because I was so satisfied with the original plan-I added new windows beyond the bathroom and kitchen, upgraded the original plan for cabinets and counters, added patio door, new front door, two gas fireplace inserts, and had my laundry room tiled.. The workers were trustworthy, friendly, and thorough.

The project went very well and took 3 months. The scope of the job doubled as I requested more work based upon the excellent completed work. The two owners did the demolition and carpentry. Licensed contractors did the electrical and plumbing. The tile and sheetrock contractors were excellent. I totally trusted the owners (Ed and Phil) and the contractors that they hired. Everyone was friendly, meticulous, trustworthy, and professional.

Did a lot of work himself with his partner. Anything he didn't do, he brought in (electrician, plumber, painters). He called constantly to make sure everything was right during the job. Has called twice since it was done to make sure everything is still right. He is absolutely wonderful. Very honest guy. Works to make sure you have the best deal but still quality. He even scraped up a dead mouse in our garage when my husband was out of town! I totally trusted him in my home. The people he hired on are very trustworthy as well. He has a relationship with them so they are not strangers to him.
