HALM & PERKINS, LLC

There wasn’t one thing that we didn’t enjoy and appreciate about hiring Halm & Perkins to do a complete renovation of our East Lansing condo. Joe and Lisa and their entire team were very professional and thoughtful and went above and beyond to help us with every detail. Originally, we were anxious about being able to find people that we could trust to create a design and suggest ideas that would work best for us and the space. From the first interview meeting Joe & Lisa our fears were assuaged and we liked them immediately. They made the entire process from start to finish easy. Both Joe and Lisa even got my husband’s quirky sense of humor and ran with it, keeping us all laughing. We did not expect to have so much fun with a renovation! We appreciated how well they listened to our ideas and questions and they never let us feel that anything we thought or asked was silly or stupid, communicating often with us via text, calls or emails and directing us to websites for ideas or clarification as needed. Joe and Lisa are a great team and often when we were stuck on a decision one of them would come through with photos or thoughts that helped what the other was suggesting so that we could understand. They both did a fantastic job guiding us through the myriad of decisions that were needed, or choosing something for us when we asked them to do so. They came up with ideas we would not have thought of like bricking some of the walls and we are so pleased with how that, and other ideas we trusted them with, turned out. We asked for more storage space and they made sure we had that in every room with ways we could not have thought up ourselves. We wanted more light in the combined kitchen-living area and they exceeded our expectations in providing that in new ways. We had some dreams we weren’t sure were feasible, like making room for a two person jacuzzi tub and they made it happen, thanks to Joe’s expertise and Lisa’s design ideas. When they didn’t know the answers they had experts to consult. I often felt like we were on an episode of HGTV’s “Fixer Upper” with Chip & Joanna Gaines. We now walk into our condo and have happy sighs that we get to live here. Thanks, Joe & Lisa and the whole Halm & Perkins team!

Really well.

Jim & Joe dry walled, painted & tiled a small shower/bath, the quality of work is excellent and price reasonable.

Work was done thoroughly and extremely well. Crews cleaned up completely each evening. Everything from exterior plants to a flag holder to house numbers to lights were rehung exactly where they had been located previously. Plants were protected throughout. Window box had been rebuilt once, but not adequately, so Halm and Perkins had to re-do the work of another company. Halm and Perkins did the job as it should have been done originally, assuring the box would not once again rot from improper roof slope for drainage and a lack of ice and water shields. High-quality materials and paints were used for the entire job. The on-site crew was considerate and pleasant. My neighbors even commented on how polite, respectful, and kind Joe and Jonathan were to interact with. Each piece of the work was discussed in advance and detail and changes to the original scope of work were negotiated transparently with the pros and cons of various choices and all costs well explained. The company was also extremely accommodating about changes to the scope of work and flexible in working around other crews who were performing work at the house in tandem. Billing was detailed and consistent with the original proposal (same with all of the modifications to the original to which each party agreed). I will have Halm and Perkins bid on future work without hesitation.

The remodel went wonderfully. Jim and Jonathan were on time, easy to have in the house. Their daily clean up and work ethic was great. I have used Halm and Perkins on two other projects and continue to be very pleased with the results.

Ham and Perkins men, on time, dependable, had each day planned out for projects, & completed them as planned & projected. Were cheerful, considerate, clean, focused & very definitely reasonable. We are already planning to use them again as weather permits. Just excellent work!

Did all three jobs at one visit. Pleasant to work with. Provided good suggestions on how to accomplish what we wanted to do.

They were very professional. It was an extremely good price. The guy has done work for me before. He always shows up on time. He always cleans up after himself. It is him and his partner who is his son-in-law. He asks for feedback whenever there is a questionable decision to be made. I would use them again in the future.
