Jeff is by far the easiest contractor I have worked with. We needed new front steps and a deck so I…read morereached out to four businesses and Jeff was the only one to respond right away. Within days, he evaluated the project and had a reasonable quote sent our way. The work took a little longer than we thought because of a structural issue found during demo, but Jeff found time among his other jobs to finish ours and we couldn't be happier with the final result. We will absolutely use Hammer and Grain for projects in the future!

We just wanted to finish our space, nicely, to have more room for our family and our kids' friends to hang out. Despite it not being Facebook-worthy, Adam treated us as if we were his most important customer. His communication was frequent and thorough, and we always felt like we knew what was going on. The guys he used were prompt, professional and courteous to us and our home. He was always willing to take our call or email, and immediately fix any issue (they were small and infrequent - to be expected on a major construction project) without complaint. My husband is handy and we wanted to do some pieces of the remodel ourselves. Adam completely understood that and worked with us on that to ensure we stayed on budget and on schedule. I have nothing but the highest praise for Adam and his team, and would recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone looking at contractors.

We downloaded calculators that factored the spring angel and interior wall angle to give us the bevel degree, and still couldn't get it to work. Our angled coping skills were laughable. It got to the point that my husband and I didn't even speak for an entire morning. Then he found Darin, our new favorite addition to our home remodel. Darin, of Level Best, saved our guest room. He knocked it out in about an hour. His prices were extremely fair. He even hung a medicine chest for me. This man is my new crush. If you've bitten off more than you can chew, or, even better, know your limits beforehand, give this guy a call.
