Description of Work: Drywall, painting and flooring of basement. Very knowledgeable of what they were doing and doing it well. Very disciplined work ethic. The only thing I may have preferred was they not work as FAST as they did to ensure quality work was being done. But in the end. quality was not an issue. Martin and team ROCKED it. Highly recommended for your basement finishing project.

Description of Work: They were the greatest. They had their work cut out for them finishing / fixing sub-standard work done that was done by another contractor. Can't have asked for anything more. Drywall, paint, new door, and woodworking too. They did it all. Even gave us extra advice on how to go about completing other projects. We hope to have them back for flooring, installing cabinets and other projects soon.

Didn't happen
Description of Work: Martin came out to our home in July - he was punctual, friendly, knowledgable, etc. He spent almost 2 hours with us ~ listening to what we wanted to do and offering his opinions. He told us he would get back to us within 2 days - we didn't hear anything. A week later I called and left him a voice mail - nothing. It's a shame, we really liked him - but we have decided to go with another contractor. Missed out on a $20k to $30k job and there won't be any referrals from us.

Response from Basement Finishing by Hartel Constr. Grp., Inc.
After having such a great reputation for so long and serving so many clients w/out issue throughout the years it has been brought to my attention its just plain time to hire on an office manager. Between leading my team of guys, working in the field, answering phone calls/questions, and meeting w/ potential clients its just to much for one person in a 10 hr. day. So this week I have interviewed 3 potention personnel to fill this position and will be hiring one of them on shortly to handle the overwelming work load. My sincere apologies to any and all persons that we have not gotten back to in a timely fashion. Thanks for checking in w/ us and leaving your comments/concerns.

Not only were they punctual, but exceeded my expectations. The speed that they worked at was fast!!! The trim was out and in and painted in 2 days. Crown mold as well as all base and door casing. The workmanship was top notch. I built the house myself but a car accident prohibits me from doing the work myself now. The attention to detail is what impressed me most. Martin took the time to match up trim exactly instead of using what he had on site. I know this took him an extra 2 hours of time and sounds trivial, but that attention to detail is what sets him apart from so many other contractors. I will continue to reccomend his company to anyone that asks.

S.e above,
Description of Work: Our house had an unfinished basement. We received an estimate from Martin Hartel that was both much more reasonable and covered a shorter period of time to complete the work. The job included water proofing the walls, wood framing, electrical wiring for recessed lighting, outlets and base board heaters. Martin and his crew hung drywall for the walls and ceiling. They built a wonderful bookcase into one wall. Multiple storage areas were created behind the walls and access was provided by different types of doors. The entire area was painted and hardware installed on all doors. Martin and his guys were a joy to work with during the entire project. They were professional, polite and considerate at all times. While working they were very aware to clean up the job site and even tried to minimize noise they thought might bother our neighbors. This contractor kept to his scheduled, was extremely flexible and called if he was delayed. He was a pleasure to work with and we would not hesitate to use him in the future. We gladly recommend Hartel Construction Group.

The first week was fast.The crew arrived on a monday and started tearing out the stud walls and the old suspended ceiling. within a week the basement was bare and then the insulation. studs and drywall began to be placed. They were careful but speedy Electrical placement of lights were determined. Placement of the wet bar was decided and we ordered a cabinet and sink. Hoping it would be back by the time it was to be installed, it was. Mr. Hartel's wrecking crew was hard working , steady.and neat. We decided on the color of tile for the bathroom and layout that we wanted and purchased it. The insulation, ceilings and walls now competed. The bathroom and shower was tiled and cabinet with faucet was installed. Because of the family height the cabinet was raised, Hartel did a great customize job on the cabinet. It is distinctive and we love it. a quality job. Once the bathroom was finished. Hartel installed a laminate floor in the office area painted and created doors to fit on the utility room entrance. When the job was completed we were more than pleased. We are jumping with excitement.. Hartel and his crew are professional efficient, reliable, and punctual, We did get several estimates along with Mr. Hartels and found him to be the best candidate for the job base on his past job performances and competitive pricing. We are thrilled with the results.

I had a nightmare experience with a contractor who had to be told to leave the job. Martin and his team not only completed the job of installing a new composite deck on our second floor, he identified and fixed the other contractor's errors. I have since used Martin on many jobs and would not consider going to anyone else. His prices are fair, he's very responsive, and extremely talented. He does a wide variety of work and will let you know if a job is out of his range of expertise (which is a welcome relief compared to contractors who will simply take the money to do an amateur job). I would highly recommend Martin to anyone looking for a general contractor. I've been burned before in this area and don't want the same thing to happen to others. A+ work all around.
Description of Work: Stopped and fixed water damage, repaired drywall in kitchen and sun porch, waterproofed, installed deck and deck railings, installed a new door with framed woodwork, ran electric to deck, replaced gutters and repaired roof.

Hartel Construction did a superior job. All work that was completed by them was done in a professional and timely manner. The workers were extremely reliable and talented. The cost was as quoted and every effort was made for our convenience. I will always call Hartel Construction first when I have any work to be done.

Two large 90 inch windows were installed in the first two days and the two guys had to brave 40-50 degree temps and some rain but all was done successfully despite the weather. The next couple days involved securing the ceiling drywall and mounting the oak hardwood over top. Next they repaired and painted the room walls. Finally the guys removed the carpet, reinforced the subfloor and the installed the flooring and molding in another couple of days. All work was done professionally, without cutting corners, and was absolutely gorgeous when finished. The guys were professional, courteous, timely and had great attention to detail. Their moto was, the job will be done right because they did not want to receive a phone call from me in the future with any problems. I highly recommend them and plan to use them for future renovations. All work was warranteed and they filled a few additional requests I had when they were here
Description of Work: installed hardwood on both the ceiling and floor as well as replacing two windows with larger ones - also installed several bathroom faucets.

They were very, very good and we would use them again. Their workmanship was good and we didn't have any problems. They did exactly what they said they would do on the bid. They were nice to work with. The price was good. We would absolutely use them again.
Description of Work: We used Hartel Construction Group to do a drywall job. They installed drywall on a paneled room and put in a closet. They dry walled a partial ceiling and installed a drop ceiling grid on the rest of the room. They put spacers around the doors to compensate for the thickness of the drywall.

Three men spent all day clearing out the basement, removing all of the old insulation, and replacing it. They used the best insulation and doubled it, placing it above code. They left everything immaculate, better than they found it. He is an experienced electrician and is creative and practical in design plans. He is outstanding.
Description of Work: Martin Hartel spent a decent amount of time explaining what was needed and why. He examined the outside perimiter of the house with foam to see if there was any hole or leakage that would have been part of the cause of the insulation being replaced. He gave a very reasonable estimate--actually the best out of four--and replaced insulation in my basement. He also discussed in detail the phases of a future, larger project, creating a living area in the basement. In comparison to others who gave us estimates, he knew the most and the estimate was the best. He is very honest and friendly. A month later I had him back to give an estimate for finishing the rest of the basement.

The job was started on Monday Feb 2 worked from 8 O'Clock with a break for lunch M-F. We were alway advised and asked for approval during the job of any minor suggestions that may have been needed to improve the outcome of the project. The workers cleaned up everyday before leaving. Upon finishing the job on Feb 12 we were called up for the inspection and were very pleased.
