Pete Minten has worked for me before and done excellent work, and this time was no exception. Pete has always been easy to work with and knows his job well. He has been doing this job his whole career and is always willing to accommodate special requests and adjusts to your schedule well. BTW, Dan is no longer with Hand M and Pete is the owner. Call him at 2532616798. His expertise with replacing windows without cutting siding to put in builder windows instead of remodel windows saved the exterior look of the house and those wood borders around the windows you so often see. His expertise with trim work is great - the baseboards and casing around doors/pantry/closet show good workmanship with the joints and a true eye for making things look good. His drywall skills are way beyond mine and he has a knack for making the repairs to any drywall disappear and blend with the surrounding texture. His expertise also showed when installing the fans in the laundry and bath off the family room. They both function well with no intrusion into the crowded overhead space between floors. He also kept me informed of any decisions or schedule changes he needed help on or when he wasn't going to be working that day. He also worked a couple weekends late into the night since the house was unoccupied at the time and he had free reign, which shows he was interested in making good use of the time to get the job done. His cost to do this job was about $5000 less than another bid I received for the same work, and that company uses contractors to do the work for the most part. His price is fair and reasonable and I believe we both got what we wanted. He sticks to his estimate unless there is a major cost upper and then informs you when there are issues and will work with you to make you happy. That, in my opinion, is what makes a great contractor. By all means, call Pete, you will not regret your decision.
Description of Work: This particular job entailed: replacing two sliding glass doors; finishing an unfinished family room with a half bath and laundry area; finishing out skylights; replacing windows in the kitchen, bedrooms, and a big picture window in the living room; finishing out a foyer with new floor and baseboards and door trim; and finishing trim work on a closet/pantry area.

He was prompt, professional and very informative. He worked with us and assisted us with figuring out what work we could do independently to lower our cost. We learned a lot from Pete and hope to use him in the near future. Pete called us when he was waiting to see if we were going to choose him to work on our home and let us know that he had received a kitchen remodel that was to start on Monday and that he would not be able to do our job. He then made sure to tell me to be sure that who ever did our remodel took all rotted boards completely out or the rot would continue to spread. I felt like he had our best interest in mind. Excellent service and we hope to use him in the near future.
Description of Work: Pete came in to assess and bid on fixing some water damage to an upstairs bathroom, bedroom and downstairs ceiling and wall.

It went very smoothly. Dan and Pete do good work, and are honest and fair priced. They go over everything and make sure your happy with whats going on during the whole construction. What I really like about them is they don't over extend themselves so they can concentrate on your home and not be running off trying to do several jobs at once. They also give good advice. This is the second house they have remodeled for us. We are having them come back this late spring and re-do our back deck next. Great people and would recomend them.
Description of Work: Fully updated a 1950's kitchen with new cabinets, countertops, tile flooring, backsplash, can lights. Remodeled bath with new tub, cabinets changed around toliet and sink to help make more room in a very small bathroom. Re-plumb whole house with new pex pipe and now have great water pressure again. Changed around a laundry room added a very nice sink & cabinet, tile floor. Totally updated our ugly fireplace with a beautiful oak mantel and built around the existing brick so we could have it tiled with slate and add in a gas insert.

Hand M Contracting not only met our expectations, they exceeded them. After purchasing our condo, we decided that it basically needed a complete remodel. It was built in the 1960’s and still had most of the original features. However, finding a contractor wasn’t an easy process. Some of the people we called didn’t even bother to call back. Dan from Hand M was a professional from the first phone call. After meeting with us and accessing our desired changes he let us know what his company could do, when they could begin work, and even gave us a verbal preliminary estimate. Later he emailed us an estimate in writing. Adding to the challenge of the remodel was the fact that we lived 150 miles away from the condo. Even with that obstacle, Dan kept us informed on the progress of the remodel and even made suggestions that improved the original vision we had for the space, advising that we meet him at the condo in person when major decisions had to be made. When we added additional features, he accomplished those with little interruption to the timeline of the remodel. When it was completed the revisions that he suggested and Hand M’s workmanship far exceeded our expectations and visions for the space. We would (and have) recommend Hand M Contracting to anyone with renovation needs.
Description of Work: WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY!

Dan Hoyt was excellent to work with. Even though it was a small job, he worked us in and completed the project in one day. He added water hook-ups for an additional washer and dryer, as well as correcting the original dryer vent. Everthing looked great and works well.
Description of Work: Additional washer/dryer hook-ups and vent were added in the garage at my sister's home.

Dan and Pete, of Hand M Contracting, came highly recommended by three other homeowners that we know well. Hand M were as good as the other homeowners said. They were polite, friendly, efficient and fairly priced. They minimized the impact to our daily lives by timing replacement of kitchen appliances and counters in a narrow window of time and by cleaning all debris throughout each day of work. Dan and Pete made sensible suggestions on how to improve the project and even corrected several mistakes made by the original builder of our house. We had them come back for removal and replacement of our air-to-water heat exchanger in late 2010 and we have another project that we hope to have them do during Summer 2011. Another family that we encouraged to use Hand M were also very pleased with their remodel. Hand M's work is consistent.
Description of Work: Dan and Pete completed a kitchen, dining room, master bedroom and master bathroom remodel for us in Spring 2010. They removed a wall and replaced it with a support beam between the dining room and the eating area adjacent to the kitchen. They replaced several appliances including new airducting and down draft fan system. They removed the carpet in the living room and dining room and replaced it with hardwood that was interlaced with the existing kitchen/eating area and front door entry. They leveled low points in the subfloor and the hardwood interlacing was flawless. They also removed old shower and counters in the master bathroom and moved a wall between the master bathroom and master bedroom. Drywall was replaced and blended in to existing walls smoothly. After subcontractors installed granite counters in the kitchen and tile in the master bathroom, Dan and Pete installed sinks, plumbing, mirrored cabinets and new lighting.

When they were done the ceiling looked better than it had ever looked before. They kept the dirt and debris confined to the room they were working in and cleaned up well enough when they were finished that we didn't have to do any cleaning other than washing the window. They are prompt, courteous and professional. Their quality is excellent.
Description of Work: They repaired a drywall ceiling that had been damaged by a water leak.

The ventilation fans in the master bathroom, hall bathroom and laundry room were at least 20 years old and had become very noisy. They replaced all three fans with fans I had purchased myself. They had done excellent work for us before and we are very satisfied with the work performed on this job. We would recommend them highly.
Description of Work: Replaced three very noisy ceiling ventilation fans: two in bathrooms and one in the laundry room.

We had contracted our kitchen remodel with a national and quot;big boxand quot; chain. We were fortunate that the subcontractors to this chain that were assigned to our job were H and M Contracting. They did an excellent job. They were prompt, courteous and we were very pleased by their work ethic. They stayed with our job until completion and did a very professional job. We had issues with some of the cabinets that had been ordered. H and M resolved the problems directly with the big box chain relieving us of that headache.
Description of Work: Remodeling of kitchen: replaced cabinets (including island), counter tops, sink and faucet. Built new enclosure for the refrigerator.
