HDK Construction & Handyman Services

I was no longer able to get in touch with them the past year. No answers and no call backs.

I think you can infer from these reviews that HDK offers one of the most reasonably priced contractor in the area. However, you can also infer how poor Hans is in managing his projects.
I chose HDK based on their pricing but the 4 day project got extended to 14 days including some of the weekends they tried to make up for. I found out from one of his crews that aside from other projects, he is also busy traveling. Just imagine what will happen to your project if he gets a bigger one and he’ll be out of town for some time.
Based on my experience, Hans is a nice guy in terms of cost and quality of work. What he lacks is professionalism in communication and skills in project management. His work is guaranteed, but he hires questionable laborers who should have no business handling saws and hammers when left on their own because their boss is busy on another project.
HDK is a case of a «what could have been».

Called Hans at 10:00 AM for a small job– Christmas lights removal, he was there at 10:45AM! Very quick service, professional and was extremely reasonably priced. He left me with a flyer and it looks like they do quite a bit of work, I recommend him!

I just bought a new house and needed some work done. I called this company to get an estimate for the work. Hans and I agreed on a day. Unfortunately, just like one of the prior reviewers, HE STOOD ME UP without even calling or texting to let me know he wasn’t coming. Instead, he texts me the NEXT day saying he «got busy». What an insult!!! Apparently, he was too busy to call. And, he was too busy to text. As an attorney and business owner, I know a thing or two about being busy. Yet, I have never stood up a client. BEWARE.

HDK has a good record on Unilocal,gave them a chance on 2 medium jobs. Spoke with Hans, very professional.
They did very good work, price wasn’t expensive or cheap, quality was excellent.
I’ll use them again in the future and will refer to friends.

Called HDK a while back to get a quote for some work that needed to be done in Highland. They were here a couple of hours later. Came back the next morning to take care if the most pressing issue on the list and were done before we knew it. Very reasonably priced and definitely very professional!

Hans and his crew came out and fixed some drywall in several areas of my home. He was very friendly and VERY VERY clean about his work! I would hire him again for other projects very reasonably priced would highly recommend him

I hired Hans to install fascia board for the front of my house and garage where some protruding wood was removed due to dry rot. He came right on time to give me a price and explained very thoroughly what was needed. I also had him replace the window surrounds and doors to a work shed. All of the work was excellent and I am now having someone else put rain gutters on the fascia board. That person mentioned that the fascia board was installed in such a way that the rain gutters will work better due to the front angle that was employed on the fascia board. A couple of weeks later, I had the floor replaced under my gazebo which is a raised floor. Hans was actually able to replace the floor without removing the gazebo. I watched as the work was done and could not believe it could be accomplished, considering the gazebo is 25 years old and quite fragile. He explained what I needed to do to the gazebo to ensure i could keep it for a few more years without replacing it. I have since done that work and am thankful that he did not suggest I have a new gazebo installed. I always appreciate any trades person that does not suggest I do some extra work just to give themselves an extra job. I highly recommend Hans Lage for carpentry repair work or new carpentry work such as my fascia board. and shed doors.

I saw HDK Construction on Unilocal and decided to give them a call last minute after reading other Unilocalers’ reviews. I needed to get a couple of things done in our house, such as toilet bowl replacements, door installations, and plumbing work. Hans gave me a very reasonable price. Not only did he complete the job on time but also in such high quality. I can tell that he really cares about his customer and he takes care of the house as it’s his own which I appreciate the most. In addition to getting the things that we agreed upon done, he also fixed a couple of other things, such as the sprinkler and timer, for no extra charge. He’s also very easy to deal with and it’s a pleasure to work with him. I highly recommend Hans if you need a Handyman service or other renovation work in your house.

I was referred from my friend whom used Hans in the past. So I called him and we spoke on the phone regarding some problems my husband and I were having around the house (creaky floors, fireplace maintenance, etc.) He scheduled an appointment, but never showed up. He even emailed to confirm the appointment the day of. Pretty much wasted my time waiting at home. No cancellation emails or phone calls.

We had Hans and crew do work on the house we are moving into this weekend. They did:
–plumbing (installing toilet, finding and removing a shampoo cap that was plugging a drain under the house, getting the valves in the shower working again, installing new faucet in the kitchen, fixing the horrible leaks in the kitchen sink, etc.)
–carpentry (building a cabinet to put a dishwasher in since the house had never had one before, cutting/​adjusting the cabinets in the kitchen to make room for a microwave and a taller fridge)
–electrical for dishwasher
–miscellaneous (putting up gutters and downspouts, getting the gate closed that was not installed correctly by the original people, fixing all the cabinet doors that were hanging off in the kitchen, patching the mess of a wall under the kitchen sink and making all the valves accessible, hooking up the washer/​dryer)
There were three guys there for a full day, plus two guys for about five hours the next day. They seemed to be working hard from the time they got there until they left. Given how many workers there were and what they accomplished, their rates seemed reasonable.
The thing that stood out to me the most about this company is that they fixed a couple of little things at no charge (e.g. putting new washers in outdoor spigots to reduce leaking). In fact, the door frame to our sliding door was not attached properly to the wall and could easily have been broken into. I never showed it to Hans, but I noticed that they fixed that as well. Nobody even mentioned to us that they had done it, which surprised me. I had felt a little unsafe about that door, so it meant a lot that they just did that for us.
Also, Hans gave us advice about how to deal with other issues we want to tackle ourselves (removing rust from the fences, etc.) and he seemed interested in making his customers happy.
Because we were happy with his work, we not only recommend Hans and his crew, but we are hiring them again next week to help us install appliances and do a few more projects.

I had recently purchased my first home, which of course needed some TLC. Hans has a wide array of knowledge on just about anything you might need done inside, or outside, of your home. I had my kitchen completely remodeled (with cabinets he completely installed), baseboards and crown molding added, toilets replaced, along with cement added to my driveway area. He is straightforward and gets the job done efficiently. I get so many comments on how beautiful my home turned out and would definitely recommend him to anyone. He gives a fair price and will give you exactly what you want!

Good, reasonable prices. Very good service. Hans cleaned up after they were done. Straight forward. No non-​sense. Honest. How many handymen can you sat that about? I had only 1 odd job for him to do, but he offered a better service than what I requested & got it done in good time.

I have been working with Hans of HDK Construction for two months. He has proven to be absolutely invaluable to our organization. Hans is EXTREMELY reliable and knowledgeable (and skilled) in a wide array of construction trades.
I will definitely continue to work with Hans as long as he is available. Five stars all around!
