Dana helped us with a major chimney reconstruction project after he snow ripped it off our wall. He was very responsive during a time when most contractors were too busy to pick up the phone (he was busy too). The project went great and the quality was awesome. Definitely recommend. read more

Dana Hawley met with me in 2020, and gave me a verbal price for the scope of work, stating he would give me a contract for signature. He not only did not do that, after I had requested it four times, his crew came to my place, in July of 202, did work which had to be re-done, some of which included: not leaving enough space between custom- ordered cabinets they installed so they were scratched, (we reinstalled them - trying to hide his crew's mistake), someone on his crew fell through my kitchen floor to the sealed bedroom below and they didn't repair it nor tell me about it (to this day I still am not sure what happened), they broke a thousand dollar in - drawer microwave installing it, they left the TV/internet cable that was supposed to be buried under the laminate floor, but by far the worst to happen was that he billed me 80 hours for a demo that we did prior to his arrival, which I refused to pay. In the end he sued me - sold my debt to a debt collection agency law firm in socal - for $5,000, and got up on the stand in July 2925, stating we entered into a contract. I couldn't afford an attorney - this was in civil court because in small claims you represent yourself - but I did point out - and got him to admit when I cross - examined him - that there was no contract, which is the law as he is a member of the California state labor board. Therefore I was victorious in this lawsuit - nothing else mattered including the fact he lied about the cabinets arriving damaged and he claimed his team repaired them, or the fact that he ignored four requests for discovery - I wanted to examine the timesheets and all other paperwork related to the job. Discovery obviously never happened but because Business and Professions Code 7159 requires a home improvement contract be in writing, I won. I wasted four years of my life dealing with his unlawful lawsuit - and all over $5,000. read more

We had Dana and team do a deck repair which stopped just shy of a full replacement and saved us big money on permitting. We couldn't be happier with the result nor could we have asked for a better group of guys to work with. Dana is a professional with a capital P, not only in his interactions and stellar communication but the quality of workmanship was outstanding. Matt was the lead on the project and his craftsmanship and attention to detail was evident throughout not to mention his personable nature. The job consisted of a main deck off the front of the house, an entry deck and a cute stone path landing off the front stairs. There was no need to call them back out to address any flaws when the work was complete because there were none. These guys are hardworking good people doing good work. While the deck construction was going on, we were also dealing with several water leaks, one the responsibility of TCPUD and the other leak under the house was on us. I called every local plumber within 20 miles and none were available or willing to do the repair. Understanding the bind we were in, Dana offered to do the work himself and although not a licensed plumber, he had the skills and experience needed to do the job. He quickly diagnosed the issue but completing the job was anything but quick and had NOTHING to do with Dana. PUD has been out three different times to excavate and as I write this review, they still haven't resolved the issue and will be coming back for a fourth round. During this time, Dana was communicating with PUD and providing updates to me regularly, traveling to our place multiple times. Thankfully, Dana was able to figure out how to complete the under house leak repair without waiting for PUD. Dana went above and beyond taking on this plumbing issue and we're grateful the work was completed before winter sets in. We highly recommend Dana and his crew of skilled tradesmen at Hawley Construction. read more

I serendipitously met Dana while his team was repairing a subfloor leak under my neighbor's garage. At about that time, in early autumn, I finally saw the vision of where to place a hot tub next to my existing deck. I wanted to extend the deck for a "step-down" experience for the hot tub, but also had free time to do some of the work myself. Winter was approaching. Dana stopped over and we talked through my plans, guided me through the engineering and permitting processes, then was able to squeeze in the construction during a gap with his bigger projects. I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome and overall experience. He made it happen, coached me and allowed me to jump in to maintain costs. Not only did Dana provide great quality work, he and his crew were also a pleasure to get to acquaint with! I can't wait to find another project for them to work on! read more

Our deck was in major need of repair. The support beams were splitting and the concrete foundation was crumbling away. I called Dana and he provided me 2 quotes- 1 to rebuild the entire deck and 1 to just replace the beams and the foundation. We ended up just having him fix the deck instead of replace it. But he did an awesome job!! He kept reminding me all winter to keep the snow shoveled off the deck so it would last the winter until he could come fix it. He was always very responsive and even brought us some duck eggs on his last day on the project. A great guy and company to work with. I highly recommend him and will hire them again when wee actually rebuild our deck and add stairs to it. read more

I have been dealing with Dana since an improptu meeting in Tahoe City 20 years ago when I bumped into him at a gas station. I was riding my bike and saw that he had a trailer full of trash and was on his way to the dump. I asked him if he would consider swinging by my place and grabbing some piles of landscaping I was at a loss for how to remove. He graciously said sure and that has turned into 20 years of choosing Dana for everything from Tree Removal, Deck Replacement, Remodel Plans, and plain old good advice. I can't say enough great things about Dana's pride in the final product, his quick response to either answer the phone himself or get back to you immediately, and willingness to help whenever possible. We love our place at Tahoe and oh much of that love to Dana! read more

I hired them for a second project. This one was also completed on time, to specification, quickly, and with no unpleasant surprises. These guys are the best. read more

Exceptional quality workmanship, high work ethics, within cost estimates and we were able to move in within the timeframe promised. What more can we say about Hawley Construction? Dana and his crew, especially foreman Spike and his able assistant Hugo, are exceptional. They treated our remodel/addition project with the care and thoughtfulness as if they were working on their own homes. Dana went the extra mile as a contractor and spokesperson on our behalf. He was constantly advocating for us when interfacing with the Planning Office and departments, other contractors, vendors and retailers. As with any sizeable project, everything does not always go as planned. With their experience and expertise, Dana and his crew were up to the task whenever obstacles and problems arose. My husband and I trusted their judgment and recommendations. Hawley Construction comes with our highest recommendation. Bob and Lisa O. read more

We reviewed quite a few companies before landing on the one who would work with us on our renovation and landscape project. Our home is not the easiest as the access is challenging and the size can be too much for many smaller contractors. Hawley and crews were very professional, punctual and it seemed at every turn they were going beyond what we could have expected in workmanship. In other words we feel for the work and price we came out way ahead. It is hard to choose a contractor even based on what other people may say. I can assure you that Dana and his company will not only be a pleasure with which to work but you will realize you have found a key asset in keeping your home beautifully up to date, inside and out, in Dana's care. Our home is beautifully renovated and we were able to occupy on time: as planned. Thank you so much Hawley Construction! read more

We have used Dana and Hawley construction for several projects. They stepped in and completely re-modeled our Condo after a hot water failure in the middle of winter. They did a great job and very timely. They followed up on all the little punch list items until everyone was happy. Dana has always been available to help and you just don't find committed contractors like him these days. I highly recommend Dana and Hawley construction for large and small projects. You will not be disappointed. read more

Last fall, we had a bear break into our house in Homewood through the front door. It continued to the kitchen where it clawed and bent cupboard doors and made a horrendous mess. Dana Hawley was willing to take on a relatively small job to help us out at a time when his company was extremely busy. We really appreciated it because the front door was flimsily boarded up heading into winter. The carpenters and painters that do work for Dana are very experienced, personable and talented. We had a very good experience with Hawley Construction and will certainly use them again. read more

If I could give Dana and his crew more than 5 stars I would. We needed to replace our deck at our home. There were several issues that we encountered that Dana solved quickly and professionally. I would highly recommend Hawley Construction for any projects you might need. Dana and his crew are the best! read more

After the heavy snowfall in 2016, our home in Incline Village needed some repairs. Because we live out of town, we needed a contractor who we trusted to complete the job timely, for a reasonable cost and someone we could trust. We were lucky to have Dana Hawley in charge of our project which was completed the end of 2017. Our driveway repair ended up being much more extensive. Dana worked overtime to get things completed quickly and the finished project was gorgeous! The work Dana did made a huge difference in the curb appeal of our home. We are currently looking at a new home in Incline Village and plan to have Dana and his crew help with the remodeling. Dana was a pleasure to work with and I'll look forward to working with him on our new projects. read more

Recently I have had an occasion to use Hawley Construction to remodel and repair my home. The owner, Dana Hawley has proven to be very knowledgeable about the needs for my repair/remodel. He has made suggestions that will add beauty and value to my home, and I followed all of them. Every time there is a change, he calls to inform me of the price and time for that immediate job. This company is the best I have EVER worked with. I have used previous contractors that don't add up to someone of this caliber. His enthusiasm is contagious! I would highly recommend him and his company to anyone. It was a pleasure working with him and having him work with me. He is the best! read more

I found Hawley construction and Dana through Yelp. There was an option to request a quote. I gave my project to Dana and a couple of others...I have yet to hear back from the others! Dana replied within a day. Originally the project was not going to be completed until the end of the summer (a month or so later) as there were a lot of projects already on their schedule. The next day Dana contacted me and said he could get it done sooner. Tom and a laborer came out and got started two days after my initial reply! The project got complicated quickly, but Dana's crew was able to handle it, no problem. Very satisfied, will use them again, and highly recommend them. read more

Our huge renovation project is now complete. The owner, Dana, and the entire team at Hawley Construction are incredible. Our vacation home in Tahoe had the entire interior renovated and a huge redwood deck built. Every detail was looked at and the quality of the work is absolutely top notch. We could not be happier. Out of five stars, I'd give Dana and his team six. Thanks Hawley Construction! read more

Used Hawley at my Tahoe vacation house. Beautiful craftsmanship. Incredibly professional and timely work. Among the many renovations he did, he water proofed my basement and we haven't seen a leak since! read more

We hired Hawley Construction to extend a deck and repair some stairs. The workers arrived every day on time and cleaned up daily. The workmanship was excellent and finished ahead of schedule. The bid was fair and money was returned as some of the construction was not as extensive as originally bid. There were two minor items on the punch list and they were taken care of immediately. Highly recommend !! read more

I received an official looking notice from what appeared to be the local fire district in Tahoe, citing an ordinance requiring removal of tree limbs near buildings. I called the number on the bottom of the notice, which indicated Hawley Construction was qualified to do the tree maintenance. I had recieved similar notices from PG&E to trim trees on another property with a recommended firm (Davey Tree, who is a PG&E contractor), so nothing seemed out of the ordinary with the notice. I dutifully contacted the number and scheduled the work. When I arrived to inspect the work after it was completed, I was agahst to see the trees shorn of all of their limbs. Upon investigation, I learned the official notice was not from the Tahoe fire district, but cleverly disguised marketing material from Hawley intended to seduce the unwary into hiring them for tree triming work, that was not required by any official agency. The work itself was pathetic. No artful removal of limbs against building, but instead, shearing of entire trees. The arborist I hired to assess the damage said every short cut immaginable was taken by Hawley's crew and the trees should now be fully removed. I was billed over $1,000 by Hawley for unnecessary work. I have spent over $7,000 planting new trees to hide the damage they have done to my home and formerly wooded lot. Save yourself time and aggravationa and do not do business with Dana Hawley. This is an unscrupulous contractor. read more
