We recently had our walkway and stone retaining wall replaced by HeMax Construction. Chip was our project manager and was easy to communicate with both in person and by text. The workers were highly skilled, 5 day install. We researched, received 3 estimates and highly recommend HeMax Construction. read more

A neighbor uses Hemax. We called them the day after the ice storm and asked if they coud shovel our driveway. They said they charge $75 per person per hour and, depending on the size of our driveway, it could take 4-5 persons 4-5 hours. They came the next day with 2 men and a plow. They finished the job in exactly an hour. We got an invoice 3 days later for $450, with no explanation how that figure was arrived at. When I called, I was told it included travel time. I said their company is a half hour from our house so that made no sense. I asked that the charge be reconsidered. When I called again, I was told they have a 6 hour minimum ($75/hr for 6 hours is $450) for any job. No minimum had been mentioned before. I asked for a manager to call me but have heard nothing. They did good work but we won't use them again. read more

The design, and execution of the project were flawless. The team kept us informed, and the results exceed our expectations. The crew, the management team, and the crews that worked on the project were all polite, thorough, and very neat. I cannot say enough good things about this firm! read more

Our HOA needed to replace a failed 60-foot long drainage pipe that ran across one our private roads leading into a cul de sac and also had to address a number of erosion issues that the HOA had been dealing with at the pipe entrance and exit for many years.  The HOA solicited potential solutions and 4 bids for the job from local contractors.  Full-time access for residents during the project and ensuring that all necessary materials were available in a timely manner was a huge consideration for the HOA - especially with winter approaching.  HEMAX was selected because they provided a solid plan, assured material availability, a guaranteed project start date and submitted the most competitive quote. The project involved asphalt cutting, excavation and replacement of a 24-inch corrugated metal drainage pipe with a high density polyethylene pipe, installation and compaction of fill over the new pipe to specifications and the application of hot-patch asphalt to repair the road surface.  The project also included: the creation of new culverts and catch basins, the establishment of a head wall at the new pipe entrance, repair of existing culverts, and providing additional fill and re-grading of both sides of the private road for safety and also to help ease future maintenance of the area.  Afterward, all work was seeded, covered with erosion control matting and lined with rip rap. Throughout the whole project, the HEMAX team kept the HOA Board informed and did an outstanding job.  The project started and completed on-time and was efficiently executed so that residents had full-time access to the area and were minimally affected.  Each night, the work area was well cleaned and all equipment safely stowed.  The HOA Board highly recommends HEMAX based on their cost and performance on this project and will definitely consider them for future work within the HOA. read more

After a recent, horrendous experience with a general contractor who created surface water drainage problems resulting in repeated incidents of rain water in my basement and crawl space, then refused to fix the problems and imposed a mechanics lien when I refused to make final payment (subject of another review), I was desperate to find a reputable and competent contractor to fix the mess created by the first contractor. I found HEMAX, and I'm glad I did. I had on-site interviews with four companies before choosing HEMAX. In addition to fixing grading and surface water drainage problems, HEMAX installed a 50' x 3' curved retaining wall and a 400sqft paver patio, as well as 500sqft of sod and mulch. From the hands-on company co-owner and sales/project manager to the crew of guys who did the work, everyone I dealt with was professional and responsive. The same guys showed up every day, put in a full-day's work every day, leaving time at the end of each day to clean up the work site. Not only would I highly recommend HEMAX, I have already recommended HEMAX several times. read more

I had a yucky looking back yard. It was always wet and the path to get to the shed was a mess because that was also the path the water took when it rained hard. HEMAX solved our problems by installing field stepping stones & a river stone swale. They also added a patio. We are extremely happy with the work they did for us. They were recommended to us by neighbors and we have recommended them to other neighbors. They started on time and finished on time. The workers were friendly and respectful. They cleaned up the work area and paid attention to details. I got 3 estimates, and Hemax was not the lowest, but the other companies just didn't seem like they knew what they were doing or would do a "cheap" job. Oh... and our mosquito problem went way down in our back yard because it isn't always so wet back there now. read more

We have had two experiences with the folks from Hemax and could not be happier. The first was two years ago when we had problems with flooding through our window well. Not only was Henry helpful in responding quickly to diagnose all of the issues that caused the problems, he worked with us and with the home owners's association on designing the best solution. We chose to have our patio replaced at the same time as the window well and are so pleased we did. Not only was the work done efficiently and on schedule, but the advice I received was most helpful in making decisions about scope and cost of the project. Most recently, Hemax has been doing work throughout our complex and one of the HOA projects was replacing a retaining wall behind our patio fence. While we did not contract with them directly, I was kept abreast of the progress throughout the project and the managers were onsite everyday to check on the status which was completed on time. The wall is beautifully constructed and all of the surrounding area has been replanted with sod. I even met the manager this morning who was making sure they HOA staff knew to water the area regularly during the heat wave. Great job! read more

HEMAX of Herndon, VA recently completed an exterior drainage project at my residence which consisted of laying PVC pipes underground down the sides and rear of our property and tying in seven rain gutter outlets/hoses to the pipes to direct the water flow to a single outlet at the rear of the property. Because of the angle of our sloped lot and design of the gutter system, we were experiencing excessive water overflow during heavy rains that resulted in gullies and trenches being dug through our mulched beds and grass. We obtained three estimates and chose HEMAX based on their explanation and description of the proposed solution and the professionalism demonstrated throughout the proposal process. Of the three companies consulted HEMAX was in the middle on price but used the best material (PVC Pipe Schedule 40) and gave me a sense of confidence in their ability to perform. Their work and workers far exceeded our expectations in every way. They were timely, neat, polite, and committed. They worked tirelessly in very hot weather, cleaned up each evening, and left our affected yard areas in a greatly improved condition upon job completion. Our project was managed by Max who made the initial onsite inspection, developed the proposal, and oversaw work performance. I also worked with Tatiana (Office Manager) on finalizing the contract and various administrative details. She too was extremely professional and courteous. I would definitely hire this company again for any services they provide. read more
