HT Construction Unlimited

We couldn't have been more pleased with the work that was completed. Sal and Terri were phenomenal! What should have been a much more stressful situation wasn't at all. Not only did they complete work efficiently and thoroughly, they were so reassuring and confident throughout the entire process. They made sure to submit our homeowner's insurance claim carefully so that we would be properly reimbursed (which we were without issue!). Our toddler daughter and dog even looked forward to seeing them every day! At the end of it all it looked like nothing had ever happened to our kitchen ceiling/bathroom floor. The new door in the garage is a huge convenience and was installed perfectly. If you're looking for home repairs, renovation, or construction you will NOT be sorry going with this team. We can't recommend them enough- we will keep HT Construction as our first choice for any of our needs in the future; we can't imagine having anyone else in our home after hiring Sal and Terri!

Outstanding! Sal and Terri assisted with suggestions for tile and trim. Sal's design for trim of the niches was a work of art. He suggested materials for added seat and threshold, base around floor and finishing touches that really showcased his work. Sal and his "team" where punctual, hard working, clean, extremely friendly and truly a pleasure to work with. He went over and above our contract agreement to help me with items around my home at no additional charge to me. I would be delighted to have them back in the future for any work.

The steps were broken and they did it when it was cold.

I purchased the deal back in November. He told me he was busy and I told him I would call him back in a few weeks. My father became ill; I talked to Sal about pushing an appointment back. He said no problem and that even if the coupon was expired he would still honor it. I called back before the deal expired and he said he couldn’t get out till after the deal expired but that he would still honor the deal. We started playing phone tag, there were dozen phone calls that were not returned or it took a long time to return my call. Finally was set the appointment up for 8/19/14 and he never showed up. He never called, I had to call him.

Everything looks great. They were friendly and very knowledgeable about the work that they performed. We will certainly call them in the future for any remodeling or repairs that come up.

He kept pushing back the starting date. He jerked me around for 3 months, then stated that the price had increased to $9600.

Sal called ahead to confirm the appointment. He arrived on time and did a great job.

There was some difficulty in setting up a day, illness on both fronts was the cause. My only problem was we installed a new floor so the moulding was short. We did have more moulding, I thought he would use that to make up the shortage. The work that he did was very good and looks nice. My son-in-law finished of the shortage of the moulding. Love my moulding.

Hammer Time Construction (HTC) came to the house in November to quote the job of adding trim to my kitchen cabinets. The AL deal was $99 for 4 hours of general contracting services. HTC said that it would take two people 6 hours to complete the job (12 hours total) but they would honor the $25/hr cost on any additional labor needed. With these quoted numbers the job should have cost $200 in addition to the $99 AL deal I purchased. We set a date of 1/18/14 for the work to be completed. On 1/16/14 I received a call from HTC that said they had an water-related emergency on the job they were currently working on and would have to reschedule my appt. I contacted HTC on 1/28 to reschedule the work in my kitchen. In that email I reviewed the scope of the work to be done as well as the time and cost involved. In the response to me, HTC said that it would take additional time/work/cost to complete the job we had discussed in November. "The Angie's deal was a discount for handy man work. The work that you need done is no handyman service. I can handle the job but that skill is worth more than a rate of $25.00 per hour. If you decide you don't agree then you can request a refund." The new quote HTC provided to me was for $950 minus the $100 AL Deal for total additional out of pocket cost to me of $850. This is $650 more than I was originally quoted in November. That drastic change is unacceptable and as a result I have decided not to use the services of HTC. I am requesting a refund in the amount of $99 (equal to the value of my AL purchase).

He is wanting to charge me $750 for the project and I have to buy all of the supplies. He said he would deduct the $99. He called me 2 or 3 times thinking I was someone else and apologized for not having the appointment scheduled. He also called me 4 times the day he came for the estimate to ask for my address. I got another estimate for the job and it was only $400.

Initially it was a negative review but now it's good. He was supposed to come a couple of times but he didn't and I guess it ended up that he was sick for a couple of weeks. So the day that he did come to look at the job, he actually did it right then. My stairs were bad so he fixed them the day that he came and it was like 14 degrees out there so that impressed me. It was $100 for labor and $35 for materials.

Punctual and friendly, did a great job even though it was a terribly cold day.

They came out and repaired my stairs on one of the coldest days we had.

Showed up to review work and scheduled a time to return. We took off time from work to meet them to have the work performed and they never showed up and did not respond to any of our calls or emails. They took our money and did nothing.

I purchased this service through Angie's List via one of the special limited offerings. The owner, Sal Arcuri, fit my relatively small job in his schedule rather quickly at my convenience. He made use of some of the materials I had on hand and gave me a list of additional materials he would need to complete the job. I volunteered to pick up the materials to enable him to spend his time on the work I couldn't do myself. He brought another worker with him, and the two of them finished the job in two hours. They also cleaned up the workspace and bagged the trash. Another thing I liked about Sal is that he improvised when I had not bought the proper zip ties he requested. The assistant at the Home Depot translated Sal's request from zip ties to pipe clamps. I trusted his judgment which was a mistake. But Sal didn't hold up the job because of it. He used another type of zip tie, and it still gets the job done. Nothing but praise for this company.

Sal showed up on time, did exactly what we needed. Very happy with his work and will be calling him for more work at the house we moved to.

My garage floor had buckled badly from tree roots. After the tree was removed by another company Sal Arcuri, Sr. and his crew came in and removed a large triple cabinet that was attached to the floor along with the steps going into the garage. Then, with a jack hammer, sledge hammers and shovels they pains-takingly broke up and removed the old concrete floor. Wow--that is back-breaking work! They brought in crushed stone, tamped it into place, then poured a 4" thick concrete floor. He secured the cabinet back in place with special bracing that he made and then made new steps to replace the old rickety steps he had removed. The floor turned out GREAT! Friends & family who do construction work have told me that they were impressed with the job Hammer Time Construction did. I highly recommend this company.

We're adding on to the back of our house and it's an 8 ft. by 24 ft. addition but it includes the roof and stuff like that and they are going to enlarge our living room-dining room area by 8 ft. back and the kitchen by 8 ft. and it's going to be 24 ft. all the way across which it isn't now, it's the kitchen and the dining room basically. I found that there are a lot of things left up in the air when he first gave us a quote and I had a lot of questions for him and I think my husband had some too so I called him and asked him if he could come over and we could talk about these things and he did, he did come and we did talked about some things and got them straightened out pretty well but there was still other questions and things are still up in the air so then he told me that he would, when I called him and said that we had decided to use him, that was after he came over and we've been asking questions on the written contract thing. We haven't signed anything with them by the way, he said that he would get the permits hold and get things set up and everything and that was probably, I put it away and I don't have it right here, but it was probably close to a month ago now and he hasn't done that because when I talked to him on Wednesday, he hasn't pulled the permits yet, he said he have to do that and then he had to come over and draw a plan and stuff like that so I don't think he's really done anything toward it but I'm hoping he will. The reason that we decided was because of the fact that he did give us a written estimate on it, he was the only one that did that and the fact that he had pretty good feedback on your list, that's why we decided to use him and he was right in the middle of what everybody else had said, most of the other said between $25,000-$35,000 but they weren't really definite about what end of it they were on. He does get back to you when you call him which a lot of them haven't and I can't believe it, we live outside of Syracuse, New York and there's always people and there's always contractors around, it's like pulling hands fee to get somebody to do something.

I contacted this contractor to provide an estimate on repairing my sagging front porch and roof. He ended up being the lowest bid, and I decided to go with him not solely because he was the lowest bid, but because of his prior positive reviews on this site. I thought that his price was fair for the services provided and my first impression of Sal was positive. We ended up agreeing on the scope of work, and then the work started when he promised me it would. During the project the scope of work changed several times, as we decided there were some details we wanted changed, and Sal adapted to these changes to meet our requests. He spent about 3 full days doing the job, and a few partial days to return and complete parts of the job which were left unfinished due to rain. When the job was finished, there were a few things that I wanted changed or redone with some of the finishing details (trimwork, etc) and Sal returned and addressed all of these issues to our satisfaction without complaint. It was clear to me that Sal wanted us to be happy customers, and worked hard to make that happen. Overall, we are pleased with the final product. I would recommend this contractor, and will be using him in the future for other projects.

They were very nice people. They gave me a verbal estimate, but never heard from them again. They quoted $2500 for the job. They were excellent. I needed a written estimate before we could start the work. They showed up when they said they were going to show. They just didn't follow-up.

The job went well. Moving the steps was a difficult task but they were able to figure it out , move them and move them back without any incident.

They did a good job at a good price. I will recommend them. They came and gave me a good deal. Everything stayed true to its form. Everything they said was done.

Sal and his wife Terri came as scheduled to look over both our garage floor that needs repair and front entrance for which we wanted new small porch and steps as well as sidewalk. They work very well together as a team, ensuring that customers' desires are fully understood. We did not go with them as another reputable (as per Angie's list) business gave us lower estimate for similar work. However, we may use Sal/HammerTime for new roof in the future.

It was an incredibly positive experience. They arrived on time and were always on site when they said they would be. There was always good communication about what they were doing, what would be done next and when to expect completion of the job. Workers were pleasant and courteous and always cleaned up the work area at the end of the day. We really felt that they wanted to do the best job possible for us, took pride in their work and went out of their way to help us in any way possible. For example, we didn't want to install the carpeting until after the movers had finished, but hoped to have it done quickly after that so that our dog (who has a spinal defect) would be able to go safely upstairs to the second floor of the home. We moved on a Friday and Hammer Time coordinated things so that we had carpet within a couple days' time. We would definitely use Hammer Time again!

It went very well overall. Sal and his son were there each day along with other employees and they worked very hard and very professionally. They really know their stuff and we would recommend them highly. Thank you Sal!
