**★★★★★ — dpayne3, April 2023**

I would highly recommend SHB to anyone who has fairly large rehab all the way to smaller new construction projects like a single family home.  Their team is very thorough and follows through until the job is done.  Their project manager is respectful and an extremely hard worker.
