I had the unfortunate experience of hiring this company for lawn mowing, snowplowing and fixing up…read moremy landscaping beds. I was very disappointed in their quality of work and professionalism. In my opinion it was a very bad experience. They were supposed to trim all my bushes and trees. They forgot to trim several of them and the others were done haphazardly. They ripped out flowers that were perennials because they thought they were weeds. Many areas were missing weed barrier, even though it was in the contract. The company admitted that the job needed more mulch, but because they underbid the job and was losing money, they would not provide any more mulch. They also admitted that their workers were new and not properly trained. In my opinion they harassed us for more money because they could not estimate the job properly. The owner continously told us of a toll bill for $1800 he owed to gain our sympathy. The owner assured us that he had arborists working for him but this statement appears to be false looking at the completed project. For snowplowing, they had to be constantly called and asked when they were coming out. The company provided an expired certificate of insurance to trick me into signing a contract. They tried to tell me that a car insurance certificate would be just as good. I have a copy of the car insurance certificate the company gave me. This company has had numerous people complain about their snowplowing service, but they delete all of their negative comments and 1 star reviews off of their social media pages. This company was hired by my elderly neighbor to cut her grass. She is 90 years old and has a hard time seeing and hearing. She paid them a lot of money. They rarely show up to cut her grass. They never even provided her with a receipt for her money or a contract. Her family had to get involved to help her. They refused to bag the grass clippings after they cut my lawn even though the contract stated they would. The grass looked atrocious with all the loose grass on it. The company canceled my contract and wanted to give it to his friend. He was going to pay him a fraction of what I paid him and keep the rest for himself. The pictures submitted with this review is how this company actually left my lawn. When I explained to them that is was unacceptable they proceeded to cancel my grasscutting contract. Most businesses when they get negative reviews they get upset and do everything in their power to have the reviews removed. Instead businesses should look at the negative reviews as a learning tool to improve their business and their employees. People really do not want to put down local businesses but they most certainly do not want to be taken advantage of. In response to the owner's comments: The fictitious accusations that this company has made instead of responding to the actual problems with his company should tell you everything you need to know about who you would be hiring

I paid Mike Hammer construction $24,000.00 to remove and replace my garage floor and driveway and…read moreadd some additional concrete for a patio and stairs. He was also supposed to remove and replace the cap on my front porch wall. The finish on the concrete is awful. He poured too much at one time in the summer heat and the concrete set up before they could properly finish it. It looks terrible. They spattered concrete all over my front porch stone wall, my brick and my vinyl doors. Inside the garage they raised the bucket on their Bobcat and dented my brand new garage door. During the winter the driveway lifted in front of the garage and now water and snow won't drain out of the garage. At last count 6 of the slabs have cracked in less than a year. When the job was complete I waited a month then power washed the driveway so they could apply the sealant. As I was power washing, the concrete kept washing away exposing dozens of leaves just below the surface that they troweled over. I was so discussed I had to quit washing after doing only 4 slabs. Mike said they're was so many leaves they couldn't get them all so they finished right over them. Can you believe that?? The garage floor looked so bad I had to paint it. Mike comes off as a real nice guy and his prices seem decent. Don't let that fool you. His quality SUCKS. I wouldn't trust Mike Hammer Construction to pour a pad for a dog house.

Plus he seemed nice and provided a lot of good info upon meeting. We had him remodel our additon entertainment room. He took it down to the bones and recontructed the room - new tile floors, a tray ceiling, crown molding, installed surround sound speakers, new walls, painted, added recessed lighting, added a stair into the room, replaced the ceiling fan, and completely did a 360 on the room. It took just under a month to complete (it was during the Christmas holidays so it probably would have taken less time but we were in no rush and let him know that). His crew was nice and very trustworthy. We gave them access to our house each day and I never worried. We tried to get a guy to come look at some drywall plastering upstairs but he refused to go behind the owner's back and take on a private project. That is so respectful and made me trust these guys even more. We just discovered we have a dropped ceiling in our kitchen and having these guys come back to put in a matching tray ceiling. Plus he is going to quote our front porch. I would definitely recommend them. PS - you should probably have a clear idea of what you want already before you talk to him. He will throw some ideas but I was happy I knew exactly what I wanted prior! Oh and funny story - I tried to get the room back together before my husband came home. Upon moving the kegerator into the room, it fell off the step and into the wall - leaving a big dent. I called Thomas and he sent someone over the next day to fix it for me - for free! Phew - my heart dropped at that moment and I appreicate him being so easy going about it.

7 weeks for 4 steps--poor communication and failed inspections…read moreDo I have steps? Yes. That is the only reason this isn't a 1 star review. We hired this company to remove our old, broken concrete front steps and pour new ones. While the initial communication was great, it became incredibly un-dependable and hard to come by as the job progressed. Ultimately, it took 7 weeks to complete a 4-step project due to poor craftsmanship and multiple delays. The issues began when the initial pour completely failed inspection. The step measurements were wildly inconsistent--the top step had a 4-inch rise, while the others varied from 7.5 to 8.5 inches from step to step, and it sloped from left to right. When I brought this up, the contractor was defensive, insisting that everything they poured was "up to code" and there was nothing wrong with them. However, they later admitted the mold had been stepped on by the crew. After several communication gaps, missed timelines, and a partial refund discussion, the city inspector officially failed the steps on May 4th, stating they required a complete tear-out and replace due to the safety and rise inconsistencies. The second round of demolition and pouring took another three weeks. Throughout this entire process, I was never notified in advance when plans changed or when the crew would show up. I had to actively chase the contractor for updates just to find out when people would be at my house. While the second set of steps finally passed inspection, they still have visible flaws. If you are looking for clear communication, reliable timelines, and a job done right the first time, I would look elsewhere.
