I would highly recommend them. Of the three companies that we contacted for an estimate, they impressed us the most. So even though they were slightly higher, we went with them because we felt they were the most qualified and he suggested a much preferable way to install the system. He always got back to us in a very timely manner. I would not hesitate to use them again. Very nice people.

Hetrick Construction And Home Safe Radon was great. We had done the radon testing and it came back positive with pretty high numbers, so we are re-doing our basement, so we though let's have this checked out by a professional and he came out and suggested remediation and he was very good about listening to what my husband had said how he wanted it done. I really didn't want that difference of opinion between the two of us, it was done very well and it was done promptly. I don't know about these things as far as what anybody else charges this. We had a couple of estimates and they seem to be the best. He was very prompt, very neat, cleaned out everything, which I consider a definite plus and he listened, which so often people don't do.

Jim Hetrick the owner and the operator was very, very experienced. He knew exactly what he was talking about. He gave us options. They quoted us really well as far as breaking down the options and basically he thought the base level would require additional remediation and what that would take. They are definitely the company that I would go with when we are ready. He was conscientious of how things are going to get installed. I really have a lot of confidence in him.
Description of Work: I had a quote from Hetrick Construction and Home Safe Radon for radon remediation.

Store-bought tests revieled high radon levels. Jim Hetrick promptly returned phone call to schedule estimate - agreeing to evening home-visit to accomodate our schedule. He immediately eased our concerns that basement interior remodel would be disturbed or that the venting would be placed in an obnoxious exterior location. We received the estimate via e-mail within two business days. We confirmed with them upon our return from vacation several weeks later, and Sue Hetrick called within a day to schedule install date for the following week. Jim and his son arrived on-time, and worked quickly, quietly, and cleanly for approx. 4 hours. The system looked like it had been built with the house - completely unobtrusive and quiet. Payment was due at completion. Just over one week later, we performed the complementary follow-up testing and received results from a local independent laboratory. Huge success! Radon practically non-existant.
Description of Work: Hetrick Construction professionally handled all aspects of our radon remediation. They promptly return phone calls, e-mails, schedule appointments, prepare estimates,and do the work. Jim Hetrick personally handles all details and installation of radon remediation - no subcontractors. They maintain a thorough website explaining their product and process, and we feel that Hetrick Construction offers one of the cleanest-looking, reliable, and quietest systems available. We had undertaken several estimates and Hetrick was comparable or slightly better in cost, but more than that, we were comfortable with Jim's calm, respectful approach. We also liked that they are locally based in Enola, PA. Jim Hetrick easily negotiated the system location in our finished basement so as to be minimally intrusive while being maximally effective without disturbing our interior design or creating exterior "clutter". The install process only took approx. 4 hours. We were provided with a follow-up test kit which verified that the install was a huge success! Now we're relieved and happier with less radon in our home AND with a General Contractor whom we can look forward to working with on other home projects.

Very good
Description of Work: Replaced gas tank hot water heater with a tankless Rhiani hot water heater in one day. Love it! Jim and his crew have done a family room addition, kitchen tiling, countertop, electrical work, and carpentry at our home. They are the best and I inherently trust their work.
