What our clients say about us

“I’m sitting on the sofa looking through our new windows into our sunny backyard while watching football and listening to music with the fireplace going, all of which reminded me that I wanted to let you guys know how happy we continue to be with the remodel! I’m so happy with all the work you did with the Doug fir. It’s like artwork to look at.”

Dan

“I can’t thank you enough for getting our project done right and so quickly! Josh was fast, efficient and a pleasure to be around. And best of all, my husband is thrilled! The biggest thing a business can give is customer service (everything from getting back to the customer, returning calls, giving email updates and finishing in a timely manner) and Hammer & Hand certainly provides that. Kudos to you and your company!”

 

Kris

“My husband and I are delighted with our new table. It is beautiful, as promised and perfect in every way. We appreciate all of it — the design, the hand made artistry and craft, and the attentive and thoughtful customer service.”

Sylvie & Larry

“The work looks GREAT.  I’m so happy. Our experience was fabulous – and Darin and crew were really great. Thanks again for an outstanding job.”

Sara

“Doug and I would like to say once again how happy we are with our new kitchen, and how pleased we were to have worked with Hammer & Hand. Everyone who worked on our project did a great job, and we were impressed with the company from our first meeting on. We are happy to recommend Hammer & Hand to anyone, and we will look forward to using you in our future projects.”

Kathy & Doug

“We knew of the quality of workmanship that Hammer & Hand had from their owners through to their crew all the way to their subcontractors. When we hired H&H I had seen some of their work previously and every customer I talked to of theirs in the past was 100% satisfied…And what was nice was every day they cleaned the house and work area – you came home from work and you wouldn’t even know they were there.”

Stan

“Hammer & Hand did the build out of my new store, Stock & Pantry, and did an amazing job – they are not “just carpenters” but are actually very skilled and can adapt materials to suit my needs and come up with solutions to sticky situations. The guys who worked on site were polite and funny, and gave enormous attention to detail, which is very important to me.”

Sasha

“Hammer & Hand did a beautiful job with our kitchen remodel. Our site manager, Kevin, is simply the best. He does beautiful work and insists that everyone working on the project does as well. He’s detail oriented and doesn’t cut corners. Kevin is also just a great guy – the kind of person that you don’t mind having show up bright and early at your house each day for a few months. I’d be remiss not to also give a shout out to Ellen (the project admin), who kept everything organized and made sure no details slipped through the cracks. And, of course, Alex, who understood and was as enthusiastic about our vision as we were.”

Kristin

“We had a great experience working with Hammer and Hand to remodel our garage and build an in-law on top. The project was well managed and the skill level was top-notch. We especially appreciated our site superintendent (Will) who patiently helped us navigate through decisions, was detail oriented in carrying out the design, and worked well with our interior designer and architect. Should we find ourselves with another construction project, we wouldn’t hesitate to call Hammer and Hand again.”

Amy

“Thank you for persevering and for doing so with grace and aplomb.  The sink is wonderful and so deep!!  The floors are amazing!  The garage doors are up and swinging away!  And best of all, we have the most beautiful basement in all of Portland (and beyond!) thanks to all of you. Our sincerest thanks and gratitude for a job very well done.”

Sylvia

“Thank you for taking such good care of us throughout the remodel process. We love our new bathroom and know our little one will, too. We’ve been spreading the word about your good work.“

Linh

“Hammer & Hand built a kitchen island for our condo unit. They were very supportive throughout the project and we had an excellent working relationship. The work was completed earlier than scheduled and all work was completed within our budget. The Hammer & Hand team was easy to communicate with and they stayed in touch with us during the construction project. We will certainly use Hammer & Hand in the future should we have any needs for additional remodeling work. We highly recommend them.”

Kim

“The quality of the workmanship is outstanding.”

Kim

“I am so pleased with every aspect of working with H&H. Between your professionalism, communication flow, advice and guidance, and the extra challenges of a very short timeframe to plan and execute, not to mention increasing the scope of the project just a week before demolition, I am amazed at how well it has gone, and all under budget and on time. It’s wonderful to have Hammer & Hand’s stamp on the house!”

Janina

“Thank you for the beautiful job you did in our downstairs bathroom. We are so pleased with how it turned out! You were so responsive throughout the process, and were reliable and thorough. The end result is beautiful. So thanks!”

Marilyn

“I’m so happy with all the work you did with the Doug Fir. It’s like artwork to look at.”

Dan

“From the beginning we knew we were working with great people. We were thrilled with everyone’s work, professionalism and attitude. We loved Dan’s commitment to building a great house! It aligned with our vision and made the project very enjoyable. We are very pleased with the product and we now get to appreciate and enjoy pieces of it everyday!”

Jonah

“Hammer & Hand were fantastic to work with, from the craftsmanship to the attention to detail and budget considerations. We love our “new” home and are extremely happy with the high quality workmanship.”

Jay | Portland

“Everyone at Hammer & Hand was a pleasure to work with. They, and all the H&H crew, subs and support staff, made a potentially disruptive project (a major kitchen remodel) as easy as it could be. I would recommend Hammer & Hand without hesitation.”

Sura | Portland

After a nightmarish experience with an unlicensed contractor, I turned to Hammer and Hand to undo a disastrous bathroom remodel. My partner and I had been without a bathroom for 6 weeks! Hammer and Hand mobilized immediately, produced an estimate and began work within a week of my first contact. We enjoyed the relationship with our project manager Kevin and lead carpenter so much that we engaged them to finish a long-delayed bedroom project as well, and are currently developing a basement remodel that will hopefully begin next month. We love our new bathroom and it’s cozy heated floor. Kevin and the crew were professional and reliable. They finished the project under budget and on-time. I highly recommend Hammer and Hand for any project, big or small.

Rachael

Excellent craftsmanship, thoughtful problem solving, and expert project management are the tools Hammer & Hand uses to deliver beautiful work. We worked with Hammer and Hand on a complex remodel that turned an old gas station in the Hillman City neighborhood of Seattle into a hip new restaurant space for Big Chickie. Throughout the project we met weekly with the entire team to work through all the challenges that re-purposing an old building presents. Six months later, after daily restaurant operations, their craftsmanship continues to shine through.  We regularly hear from our customers how impressed they are with the wood work.
