**★★★★★ — HU-988962716, Aug. 2023**

> Highly recommend Hestia (Lisa) for home improvement projects. We did a complete gut and extension of our kitchen, significant grading of the yard, a full exterior paint, and a replacement of around 2000 sf of hardwood floors. The project included significant structural changes, electrical (including installation of a new panel), plumbing for the kitchen and a new laundry room, gas, and HVAC. The majority of the project Lisa was able to complete over summer break. She stays on top of her subcontractors and there was hardly ever a day where there wasn't constant activity without reason. Efficient, quality work. Good communication. Highly recommend.

**★★★★★ — Nini, May 2023**

> Lisa has been my GC on several projects. The most recent has been preparing a home to sell and working on a new purchased home. The most challenging project was creation and installation of modern grade reproduction windows for a loft home that was permitted as consistent with requirements in a Federal Historic neighborhood with stringent requirements. Obtaining the approvals is known to be difficult but she researched and took it through the entire process. She knowledgeable, competent and straightforward. Always my go-to for bigger, complex work.

**★★★★★ — Stephanie Harry, April 2023**

> Lisa is absolutely amazing!  She is very thorough and takes the extra time to explain "why" something needs to be done.  She is really great with breaking down the mechanics behind various projects, and is honest through and through. We have used her for several different projects over the years and have loved knowing that she will stand behind her work and will see her projects through to completion!  You can tell that she is passionate about good quality work!  Thanks Lisa!

**★★★★★ — Karen Hochman, Oct. 2019**

> We hired Hestia Construction for a major renovation project on our 1950s Druid Hills ranch style home in 2018. Lisa Manka (owner/project manager) did an outstanding job. She is a highly skilled professional with extensive knowledge and experience, who consistently went above and beyond to ensure that we were utterly delighted with the quality/workmanship/results. The project was completed on time and within budget. She helped us find an excellent architect and worked closely and respectfully with him and with our interior designer. She has remained consistently available to problem solve the inevitable post-construction issues. We recommend her highly and without reservation for diverse high-end home renovation projects.

**★ — Kate Amesbury, Feb. 2019**

> Their work is second rate. Had to redo much of their work after we parted ways. Hire at your own peril.

**★★★★★ — Klickie Aiken, June 2017**

> Lisa Manka, owner of Hestia construction redid a two bedroom, two bath condominium for me.  Top to bottom. Trim to tile.  Floor to ceiling. Lighting, new kitchen, new baths, etc.   Lisa never lost her composure and professionalism during the project.  It is a second home for me and Lisa found herself having to make decisions on her own or by taking the time to photograph with her phone and send pictures and questions.  She ran this project and brought it in within $5,000 of estimates.  I showed up and the project  was clean and well done and I was very satisfied. I like it more every day and I would not hesitate to recommend Hestia to anyone for future jobs.  I won't use anyone else.

**Comment from Hestia Construction:**

> Klickie, thank you for the kind words.  It was a real treat to work with you on your condo!

**★★★★★ — Mary H, Jan. 2017**

> Lisa at Hestia Construction has helped me complete projects at 3 different homes.  I love this company so much. I would not hesitate to recommend her to close friends, my kids & yes, even my parents.
>  The estimate has always been spot on - with no hidden "gottchas" in the middle of the project. I've always been comfortable with the people chosen to work on my home. They have respected my time, my home & my opinions.
>  Lisa has the highest expectations of herself & her contractors. Excellent company to trust with your forever home projects.

**Comment from Hestia Construction:**

> We wish you many years of bliss in your new home, Mary!  Thank you for your continued trust, and for sharing your experience.  We look forward to your future projects!

**★★★★★ — Maggie Edson, Sept. 2016**

> Hestia Construction replaced the old, rotting soffit under our roof.  Not a glamorous job, but the work was excellent.  Lisa Manka's expert knowledge, clear explanation, prompt estimate, respectful work crew, and her eager attention to every detail made this complex project a breeze.  I would recommend Hestia with joy.  In twenty years of owning a ninety-year-old house, no other contractor comes close to her cheerful, fanatical excellence.

**Comment from Hestia Construction:**

> It is my unwavering pleasure working with you and your family, Maggie. Thank you so much for your kind words!

**★★★★★ — lehsten, Aug. 2016**

> I have hired/referred Lisa and her company many times. I refer her to clients and they have all been pleased with the quality of work and her follow through. She has been helpful with clients in deciding if they should stay in their current home and renovate or move to something else. Honest and reliable. Very pleased with her services.

**★★★★★ — Dan, June 2016**

> Ours was the "Cresthill renovation" you may see pictured on this site. Lisa Manka, the woman behind Hestia, won the bid not by suggesting a low, low cost but by submitting an extraordinarily detailed proposal with realistic numbers attached. She began the project -- the complete redo of an attic renovation done on the cheap 20 years ago, in a 1920s Craftsman bungalow -- working hand in hand with our marvelous architect Ute Banse.  Throughout the project Lisa kept us informed of what was and wasn't happening, and was extremely protective of our private space (yes, we stayed in the house during the project). The few problems she immediately resolved -- heck, some of the problems we would never have noticed if she hadn't pointed them out and corrected them. Her contractors were outstanding craftspeople whom she managed with professionalism and tact. The project was beautifully completed on time and in budget and we remain on the very best of terms with Lisa and Hestia.

**Comment from Hestia Construction:**

> Thank you so much for your review, Dan.  The team and I took great pleasure and pride in working on your wonderful home!
