Hunt General Contracting LLC

Jim Hunt and his team were exceptional. We had a tight deadline to complete our basement renovation, and his team sped through the work required in record time. They even came in on weekends to work around our schedule. After our basement flooded, they redid the drywall, vinyl flooring, re-painted, etc. All of this was completed in <10 days. Jim and all of his team were professional, speedy, and all of the work was top quality. I?d recommend them to anyone.

Jim did an excellent job. He was responsive and provided details of what was being done. He was punctual and performed the job in a timely manner at a very reasonable price. I would certainly use his services next time and would recommend him.

What a GREAT find! Hunt General Contracting is definitely the contractor to hire! I needed 2 textured ceiling torn down and new drywall ceilings installed. Jim responded to my email right away and from that point on it was a great experience! The job was scheduled at my convenience and they arrived every day on time as promised! I never once heard a complaint about running into a problem. Each day Jim would end the day on a positive note by saying " everything went smooth today". Each day Jim introduced me to his guys as they entered my home. That made for a great feeling. Everyone was very polite and focused on making sure the job was done the way I wanted it done. Each day before they left, they told me what time they would be back the next day so I could schedule my day appropriately. I am so pleased with the way my ceilings turned out. The work was done quickly and looks fantastic. There is not one thing I could say bad about my experience with this contractor, his work, or the men that work with him. I waited 2 years to find a contractor I felt comfortable with doing the work. The wait was well worth it! To Jim and his crew...... you have got it right. What a way to run a business!

The project turned out beautifully. Jim and especially his crew Joe, Greg, Bobby, and Teddy were extraordinary. They were responsive, professional, and a pleasure to deal with. I would recommend these company to anyone. I intend to use them for future projects. The price and quality of work was excellent.

Very well with Hunt. The manufacturer of the doors, not so much. They were warped and had to be re-ordered and there was some confusion over who was to do the job. The manufacturer had a very limited warranty policy and Hunt finished the installation in professional fashion.

Part of my front bedroom ceiling came down and I needed some work done on my back bedroom ceiling. They replace the whole front bedroom ceiling and painted. They repaired the back bedroom ceiling and painted that. Clean up was also included. I took a chance with Hunt General and I'm glad I did. I would definitely consult with them on any future repairs I made need in my home.

Jim and his team came back to help us around the house. We needed trim work and a closet done. Again I was very pleased with everything they do. Very personable, professional, and overall caring. They went above and beyond accommodating family needs around there work when I had to reschedule at times. They kept communication up to find the best time to finalize everything.between sick kids and different commitments. I really appreciate all they do again and again.

I used Jim once again after having a great experience with drywall installation. Jim responded to me right away as he did the first time. Work was started and completed in same day. All his guys have been very professional and down to earth. I left them alone in my home once again with no problems. The floor looks awesome and the guys did a great job cleaning up what mess was made during the installation. I have already recommended them to my coworkers. Thanks again Jim, Ted, Bobby and Greg!

We had water damage due to the extreme ice produced during the various winter storms. One wall in our press room suffered water damage. We contacted Jim and he came out to our business the same day. He approach to correcting the problem was very reasonable. He provided a quote which was accepted by our Ins. Adjustor and Ins. company. The repairs to the pressroom required coordination as the roof suffered damage. The various snow storms delayed the roof repairs. Jim was very flexible when scheduling our work. We arranged for the work to start on 3/24/14. Jim and his crew arrived on time and did a nice job. They were neat, professional and completed the work as promised. In addition, Jim replaced an outside door on our building. This required rebuilding the frame. This was completed on the same day. In summary, we are very pleased with Jim and his company. We will continue to use them for work at our business.

UPDATE: Jim Hunt's response to this review is filled with inaccuracies. For example, Mr. Hunt never provided a "detailed" invoice, rather a fabricated invoice that did not include the entire contracted scope of work nor an accurate reflection of the work done on my property (such as charging for trash removal, when I had to remove 15 contractor bags filled with tile and debris and stuffed into my closet and chimney - causing damage to the brickwork - myself). Additionally, Mr. Hunt did such an unacceptable job and was so unprofessional in communications (telling me I should not call or email him at all - even when he built shelves not cut the correct length, nor all cut the same length, nor hung to specification - because I did not know what I was taking about), I could not allow him to continue work on my property. I can only imagine where his positive reviews came from - friends and family? I would sincerely recommend all Angie's List subscribers steer clear of Hunt General Contracting. I paid an initial deposit of $2,500, but had to terminate the contract for reasons outlined below. At the time of termination, I requested that Mr. Hunt invoice me for services rendered and return the excess payment paid through my deposit. Mr. Hunt provided an invoice fraught with discrepancies. It included a breakdown of material and labor totaling $4,850, the full proposed cost of the project, yet the included categories (demo, drywall, floor, electric, trim, paint, trash removal, gas, insurance) did not cover the entire scope of work nor did the accrued total reflect the work that was actually done at the property. I made numerous attempts to resolve the issue amicably; however, Mr. Hunt indicated refusal to communicate with me about this issue. I have supporting documentation outlining the unacceptable work and unprofessional dealings I had with Mr. Hunt. With no other recourse available, I have filed a complaint with the Pennsylvania Department of State and plan on filing a complaint in small claims court as I need the excess funds I provided Mr. Hunt to complete this project on my property. Reasons for Termination Outlined in Letter of Termination: -Work did not start on the project in a timely manner. The original project start date was scheduled for 2/18/14. Work did not begin until 2/21/14. -Work is not being completed on the project in a timely manner. When work commenced on 2/21/14, two workers were at the property for less than three hours. When work continued on 2/24/14, one worker was at the property for roughly three hours. I was informed on 2/24/14 that work would not take place on 2/25/14, and would not begin again until 2/26/14. On 2/26/14, two workers were at the property for roughly six hours. -Workers have not arrived at the property at the specified start time. I was told that a worker would arrive at 8am on 2/24/14. I received a text message at 7:51 that morning stating that the worker would be late, with an estimated arrival time of 9:30am; however, the worker did not arrive until after 10am. -Specific concerns about access to the main water valve have continually not been addressed. Workers covered access to the main water valve on 2/21/14. The worker that arrived on 2/24/14 was informed that it would be necessary to create an opening to access this valve. The worker made a small hole extending from an existing outlet hole that did not provide proper access to the valve. I addressed this concern again on 2/26/14; no progress was made and access is still insufficient. -Open shelving plans were discussed in advance of the written contract. You indicated that the shelves would be hung without detectible supports. On the morning of 2/26/14, you indicated that the shelves would be hung with a 3/4 inch piece of wood underneath for support. However, the shelves were hung with L-brackets, which I had specifically mentioned during both previous conversations (prior to receiving the estimate and on the morning of 2/26/14) that I did not want. You stated that the shelves would be redone as they did not meet the specifications, and the materials could not be reused. -I spoke with you and provided a diagram for the desired measurements for the open shelving, indicating 82 inches for the new counter length on the wall below the cabinet. The shelves were to be centered above the counter with six inches free on either side. I also stated that I wanted the space to be equal between the shelves. The shelves were not cut to the proper length, leaving six inches on the left side and NO space on the right side. Further, the shelves were spaced 10 inches apart and 10.5 inches apart. There is also a gap along the backside of the shelves. -Drywall installed next to the exposed rear wall is not level on the sides or on the ceiling. -Careless plastering has left plaster on the exposed wall, on existing stained wood trim, and cabinets that it was known were being reused. -No effort has been made to put down drop cloths or protect kitchen appliances or hard wood floors in the living room. -No trash has been removed from the property, and the space is filled with full trash bags. -Work completed to-date has been careless and unacceptable. Work is also being completed in haphazard way. The open shelves were installed on walls that are damaged and unfinished, rather than on finished, painted walls. -I have attempted to communicate my concerns about this work on several occasions. I have email documentation of both email communications and phone conversations that have taken place. I have not been treated with respect during our phone conversations, and I do not feel that my concerns have been adequately addressed.

Jim was great and his staff worked hard to finish all the projects in a timely manner. At the first visit Jim will let you know what he can do, what he can't and will offer a very fair price quote. He always gets back to you and will work on getting you materials, really he will try to assist with whatever to get the job done. I would not hesitate to use Jim for future home projects.

I love those guys, they did a great job. I have an 11/2 storey house and the second floor was like a dorm bedroom, really long narrow bedroom with a lot of paneling and drop ceilings. They took down the drop ceiling, they put up dry wall, they skin coated the paneling, painted everything and added baseboards. It looked really great when it was all done. They also cleaned up really well. They did not leave anything lying around. They are really nice honest guys.

Jim answered my first e-mail within minutes. From there we exchanged information which led to him providing me what I thought was a very fair price. He started when he said he would and finished in a more than reasonable amount of time. His crew were all very professional and polite. They worked hard and did a great job! I have already given his business cards to co-workers and he is probably coming back in the near future to do some additional work for me. I would highly recommend him. This is the first time I used Angie's List and it worked out great.

This project finished on time and on budget. Jim was very easy to work with and accommodating. Crew was courteous, professional and hardworking. Would definitely recommend and use again. Completed basement job looks fantastic!

When I first contacted Jim he was very professional and came out to provide an estimate within a week. He prepared a clear estimate with a full breakout of the entire scope of work. His employees were just as professional....we had no problem letting them work in our house while my wife and I went to work. Jim worked with us also when issues popped up......making this project happen with the least amount of stress for the homeowner. We look forward to working with Jim and his team again soon. Thanks again guys for your hard work.

Jim Hunt and his crew were courteous and punctual. They removed all trash and left the room clean each day. Jim kept to the calendar schedule he projected for our remodeling and finished when he planned. He kept to the proposed price of the project. He was the low bid but the quality of work was high. We would absolutely hire him again for additional projects. We highly recommend him.

The work was accomplished all in one long day. Everything was put back in place and the new floor looks great. He had a crew of five and they worked well together. His plumber was unable to replace a few valves so that work did not go forward.

Jim and his team finished our basement this winter. They did an excellent job with all areas of the construction. Jim handled coordinating permits and code standards with the township, and also worked with us on the design and floor plan. We had two rooms (den and bedroom), an egress window, a full bathroom, a finished closet, and two unfinished rooms (storage and mechanical) put in. Jim subbed out the electrical, plumbing, tile, and the window well dig-out to reputable, insured sub-contractors. Jim seems to ?know a guy? for any aspect of the job. They also did a bunch of custom carpentry including cubbies under the stairwell and built-in bookcases and cabinets for the entertainment area. We are very happy with the job Hunt General Contracting did, and would definitely use them again for future projects.

It went very good I was pleased with every thing that they have done I would recamend them I may even call them again on my next project.

My overall experience with Hunt General Contracting was phenomenal. Jim and the team were professional and efficient. Because of the tight timeline, the whole team worked 12 hours on one day and it was a Holiday Weekend. The quality of the work was great. Wish I could upload some pictures to show what a great job they have done. Will hire them again in couple weeks for basement remodeling work.

About 3 months ago, water leak from my neighbor's house caused damage to my kitchen ceiling. The contractor I hired prior to General Hunt did not complete the job. . At that time, I contacted General Hunt and Jim return my phone call promptly. He completed the job within 2 weeks. The job was done to my satisfaction. After finishing the job, Jim and his workers cleaned up the area very well. There were 2 times when Jim had to cancel my appointment, but he made up the time by coming to work on Sunday. I will hire General Hunt again.

Jim Hunt and his team did an outstanding job. We could not be more pleased. His team arrived on time each morning and were clearly dedicated to their trade and dedicated to their customer. They were receptive to our scheduling needs as we wanted to remain at home as long as possible during the floor job. The floors were done in two phases as directed by us without question by Hunt and the floor company. The floor company used by Hunt also gets and A for all categories. The entire job was completed in a timely manner and the home was left neat and cleaner than we imagined it could be after a hardwood floor sand/refinish job. And we are always very concerned with cleanliness when selecting contractors. Price was fair for both the family room job and floors. Hunt also made great suggestions to enhance final appearance. Furthermore, upon arrival the first day, we added two relatively minor jobs and after hearing them stated he would not raise the price given at original estimate. It is evident he prides himself in customer satisfaction. I highly recommend him to any member reading these reviews.

HUNT GENERAL CONTRACTORS WERE PUNCTUAL AND COURTEOUS. THEY WERE VERY EAGER TO PLEASE AND REASONABLE PRICING. I AM HAVING THEM BACK SHORTLY FOR TWO OTHER JOBS WE NEED DONE!!

Jim and his team were extremely professional. They showed up when they said they would and completed all of the work in a timely and efficient manor. Any issue that came up Jim quickly resolved. He was always very responsive whenever I had a question and was very willing to offer suggestions on what would look best. They gutted my entire upstairs and downstairs, as well as my basement. They built 2 spacious closets, drywalled and painted all bedrooms, and completely remodeled the bathroom. They knocked back 2 walls in the downstairs and refinished the hardwood floors, drywalled and painted, and installed ceiling fans. They laid new tile, installed all appliances, and built a custom pantry in the kitchen. They waterproofed the basement as well. The entire project was about 6 weeks and Jim and the crew did an outstanding job. I would most certainly hire Jim again. Many thanks to Joe, Ted, and Bobby for their hard work. The house has now become a home.

We did not end up going with this contractor, but he responded very quickly to my call, set up a free estimate in a timely manner, and arrived when he said he would for the estimate. He emailed the estimate the next day. I would definitely consult him again in the future.
