**★★★★★ — Beech Tree Woodworks, Nov. 2019**

> I've worked with Hammer and Hand on several projects and have current projects with them. I find them to be supremely professional, organized, and just all around have a great attitude.  They are pros at problem solving and are easy to communicate with.  I love teaming up with Hammer and Hand.

**★★★★★ — Board & Vellum, Nov. 2016**

> We are a full service Architecture, Interior Design, and Landscape Architecture firm that has worked with Hammer & Hand on residential projects.  They have been a pleasure to work with and their team brings a passion to the art of building that is hard to find.  They deeply care about the built environment and the science behind building a truly sustainable and durable project.  They are organized, detail-oriented, and a pleasure to work with.

**★★★★★ — pddalton, Oct. 2014**

> The project was to create a lower level master bedroom suite. Hammer and Hand worked from architect drawings to create a new bedroom in an unfinished area, convert another bedroom to a new master bathroom and hallway, and take out walls between three closets to merge them into a large walk-in closet. They also were willing to take on several less creative tasks that were critical to making the area a cohesive and comfortable retreat - refinishing the deck, transforming a hall bathroom, replacing all the doors and some windows, and updating an ugly bar area into an efficient kitchenette. They were well organized and while, like most projects, there were some unexpected problems, they were great about ensuring that we were satisfied with the final outcome. The costs were a little higher than we expected but they worked with us to reduce the project scope to fit within our budget.
