I hired them to renovate two bathrooms. They did a fantastic job, all the subcontractors were excellent, and Ryan consistently stayed on top of the job. He cares a lot about quality. All prices were clearly communicated and very fair. I’ve used several contractors over the years and Ryan and team are definitely at the top of the list. **★★★★★ — Roberto Zayas, March 2024** > I can't recommend Hammer Head enough. Ryan did a full renovation of my kitchen - and he did a fantastic job! Ryan is very professional, knowledgeable, and has superb communication skills. My wife and I are very pleased with Hammer Head and we will call Ryan next time we have a remodeling project. **★★★★★ — Darwin Grosse, Feb. 2021** > Ryan did an amazing remodel of our basement, and was so incredibly professional. Always showed up on time, and did the work on-budget - and the results are spectacular. We couldn't be happier, and look forward to using him for future work as well. **★★★★★ — HU-310497455, Dec. 2020** > We had Ryan build an addition on our home that I use as an office. I could not be more pleased with the project and working with Ryan. He came up with ideas that not only saved me money but improved my addition. His pricing for change orders was beyond fair, and he finished the project in a very timely manner in a very difficult year to get materials. > He allowed me a lot of flexibility in choosing materials and choosing purchasing options that were best for me. As a final thought the workmanship was beyond my expectations. I would choose Hammerhead Builders for any project I might have big or small. **★★★★★ — Rachel Kranz, Nov. 2020** > Ryan helped us remodel our kitchen and garage and did a WONDERFUL job. Very high quality work and excellent communication. We highly recommend him. We will definitely work with him in the future. **★★★★★ — HU-408664051, Aug. 2018** > Ryan at Hammer Head Builders remodeled 2 bathrooms and added a mudroom to our front entryway. We have nothing but wonderful things to say about working with Ryan. The work he did was beautiful. He was constantly communicating with us regarding decisions and time lines. He was open to changes and worked through any unexpected obstacles with us for the outcome that we wanted. He was very conscious of our budget and had great suggestions on how to stick to it. He left his worksite clean everyday and was always pleasant to work with. We would highly recommend Hammer Head builders. We love the work he did on our home. **★★★★★ — Angie, June 2018** > Ryan and his team from Hammer Head Builders were absolutely fantastic to work with!!! He completed our entire basement and did a fantastic job. He constantly communicated with us and we always knew exactly what was going to be done on any given day. All of his sub-contractors were very professional and Ryan made sure they knew exactly what to do. I highly recommend him if you need any home improvement work done. **★★★★★ — Amy M, June 2018** > We used Hammer Head Builders Inc. to finish our basement. We are extremely happy with the results. Ryan worked with us the entire way and was excellent at communicating. We had a few changes in process along the way and it was no problem, Ryan was helpful in providing sound answers and practical advice. We will use him again for future projects. **★★★★★ — bcoffer, Feb. 2014** > Ryan Moore and the crew from Hammer Head Builders have been wonderful! We embarked on a whole home remodel, and though we are avid DIYers, we needed help with some specific projects. Ryan was great to work with, as he was willing to do what we needed help with, and then let us take over to do our thing. Other contractors we met with wanted to take the project from start to finish, and perhaps let us paint! > > Hammer Head Builders are not only great to work with, but they are very professional and efficient. We have been very pleased with their work, and if ever there are issues, they are quick to make corrections. Love these guys and will recommend them to friends and family! **★★★★★ — jm61052, Feb. 2013** > Hammer Head Builders was great to work with. We hired them to finish our basement, and couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Respectful, trustworthy, and "going above and beyond" to make sure we were pleased with the finished project. They worked with us to give us a quality finished basement while sticking to the budget. Would definitely recommend them. **★★★★★ — ebjornard, Feb. 2013** > Great person to interact with. Great collaboration on project. Great communication around budget and schedule. Ryan has terrific subs that he works with. > > We recommend his services without reservations. **★★★★★ — User, Jan. 2013** > Hammerhead builders did a major kitchen - dining room reconstruction for us. The project was complicated. It involved gutting the existing kitchen and adjacent room, removing a load bearing wall between the rooms and then constructing a showcase kitchen and dining room. > > The work was done very well. Fit and finish were extremely important. > > Ryan is an excellent communicator. Listens well. Is open about discussing challenges and options. All in all he worked with us very well. ## Selected projects - [kitchen addition with a deck on roof](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-addition-with-a-deck-on-roof-pj-vj~7599098) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [House on the hill](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/house-on-the-hill-pj-vj~7342437) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 18 - [Exterior decks](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/exterior-decks-pj-vj~153917) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 19 - [Roseville Kitchen remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/roseville-kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~152990) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Rosemount 4 season porch with deck](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rosemount-4-season-porch-with-deck-pj-vj~152961) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Lupine house](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lupine-house-pj-vj~152944) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Miesville deck](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/miesville-deck-pj-vj~152931) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Inver Grove Heights basement finish](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/inver-grove-heights-basement-finish-pj-vj~152914) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Chester-Moore Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/chester-moore-home-pj-vj~152742) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Chester-Moore Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/chester-moore-kitchen-pj-vj~152729) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - Description: Beautiful kitchen in this 3600 sq ft custom built home [See all 10 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/general-contractors/hammer-head-builders-inc-pfvwus-pf~1451607496) ## Ideabooks - [new house ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/56142288/list/new-house-ideas) — 17 ideas - [laundry room](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/130400311/list/laundry-room) — 4 ideas - [Basement](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/93916725/list/basement) — 1 idea - [kitchen/pantry](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/56388518/list/kitchen-pantry) — 16 ideas - [Staircase](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/61600140/list/staircase) — 1 idea - [ryanbuilds's ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/7773707/list/ryanbuilds-s-ideas) — 37 ideas - [front porch](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/57151542/list/front-porch) — 4 ideas - [livingroom](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/56388915/list/livingroom) — 2 ideas - [bedroom](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/56392355/list/bedroom) — 2 ideas [See all 9 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/ryanbuilds) ## Community Q&A **Q: New look for 9 foot center island** *(in Design Dilemma)* I am in the process of updating kitchen and plan to put in large 9 foot center island that will utilize cupboard below existing island and take the place of the table. Our preference is to keep the corian on the surrounding counters. We still like it and it still in very good condition. It has a bit of a pink undertone with flecks of black and white. My challenge has been finding something that complements the corian. Ideas for new island? We have three boys so need something practical. I have been leaning toward a dramatic look and I like the look of a center island that complements but is not the same as the remaining countertop. I have looked at many types of granite (typhoon bordeaux, bianco antico, black marinace) - so far what I've liked the best that may complement pending the slab is titanium. We are considering replacing all the countertop if we can't find something that complements. We will also be updating the lighting over the center island to be transitional/contemporary fixtures. A: you can do multiple colors in the kitchen as you can see from our 9' island also being a different color than the main counter tops, we used Cambria a great product. **Q: love the kitchen units** *(in Photo Questions)* I was wondering how you get this effect, are the drawers rubbed with a candle wax to get that old look? I live in Portugal and would like to have that effect in my kitchen. I look forward to your reply. Thanks A: these cabinets are "Dura Supreme" made with knotty alder and have a rustic appearance. the edges are worn off after being painted to give it this look. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
