— Kristin C.

— J. Rice

Whole-Home Remodeling

"I have used Honey-Doers for several projects — an exterior door, gutters, landscaping, and even a raccoon that took up residence in our house. Each project was completed in an affordable, timely and professional manner. Honey-Doers is our first call for projects large and small!"

— Darrell S.

Home Maintenance

"High praise to the whole Honey-Doers team! I needed an exterior door install — a smaller job that's hard to find folks willing to take on. Rick, Shelly, Joe & Elliott were all fantastic. Great communication and workmanship. Will definitely use them again!"

— Nick H.

Home Maintenance

"The project involved removing the old popcorn finish, repairing cracks, re-finishing with knockdown ceiling, installing new recessed lighting and painting several rooms. Kudos to Rick, Dan, Shelley, Joe, Freddy, Victor and others. I was always kept informed of scheduling. I'm very pleased with the end result and would highly recommend Honey-Doers."

— Sandy H.

Whole-Home Remodeling

— Toni A.

Whole-Home Remodeling

"I have done a number of projects with Honey-Doers and have been 100% satisfied with their work. They are my go-to people for complex or simple jobs. Their work ethic is excellent and the quality of their work is first rate. They just completed a deck repair — demo and replacement of floor boards all in one day. The finished work is absolutely perfect!"

— Bob B.

Exterior & Outdoor

"I want to thank everyone at Honey-Doers for the amazing work on my deck rebuild. It was fast and everyone was professional and pleasant to work with. I give this company 10+ stars.

— Kim M.

— Howard K.

Exterior & Outdoor

"We just completed a major kitchen and laundry room remodel. The project was completed on time in a seamless, no problems manner. Dan, Dana, Joe, Ryan and Joey were terrific to work with. We ended up saving $35,000 compared to another contractor's bid. They were an incredible choice, and we would unequivocally recommend them. No project is too small or too big for them."

— Dale J.

Kitchen Remodeling

"I met Randy in 1996-97 when we built our house — he's been our fix-it guy ever since. Rick, Joe, and Shelley have all been just as prompt, courteous, and competent. Over nearly 30 years they've handled windows, doors, a radon vent, and countless repairs. If they say they can do the job, they can."

— Bridget H.

Home Maintenance

"We had an overflowing shower that wrecked flooring, carpet, woodwork and a ceiling. We selected Honey-Doers and it was the absolute best choice possible. They worked with our insurance company, took care of everything, and did a fantastic job returning our home to better than before the flood."

— Mike S.

Whole-Home Remodeling

"Honey Doers completed a two bathroom refresh for me including a tub to walk-in shower conversion with custom tile. Very pleased with the craftsmanship and project management."

— Perry G.

Bathroom Remodeling

"I have a 100+ year old home and had storm damage. From beginning to end Adam was regularly in touch, honest, responsive and helpful. He understood all the issues, gave great advice and sorted through the insurance maze. All the subs knew what to do and clearly were treated with respect. I enthusiastically give them 5 stars."

— Mary A.

Home Maintenance

"Honey-Doers accomplished two projects in an office condo we recently purchased. When most contractors are in a hurry to get the job done and move on, their professional took his time to make sure everything was right and we were satisfied. A refreshing change. I would highly recommend Honey-Doers."

— Douglas A.

Whole-Home Remodeling

"ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! Dan is a master at coordinating so many details. He explained things to me in plain English and helped me navigate the nightmare of insurance claims when no one else would. Larry and Joe were super friendly and helpful. Everyone was prompt — when they said they were coming at a certain time, they showed up then. For my next project, I will go back to them and nobody else!"

— Karin R.

Home Maintenance

"In a world where service has kind of gone downhill, this team blows it out of the water. We had water damage — a massive hole in both the wall and ceiling. Honey-Doers came out ahead of a snow storm and began exterior work to make sure we were insulated and safe before it hit. They were quick and masters at their craft. I would recommend Honey-Doers to all."

— Jack D.

Whole-Home Remodeling

"My home flooded from the upstairs through to the main level just after Thanksgiving — our baby was just 6 months old. I had never filed a claim before and had no idea what to do. From start to finish Dan and his team went above and beyond. I've never had a business treat me with such respect, patience and understanding. I couldn't be more happy with how it turned out."

— Crystal C.

Whole-Home Remodeling

"Honey-Doers is my go-to company for home repair needs. I am a Realtor and refer them to my clients prior to listing their homes and after they get settled into their new home. Honey-Doers staff are responsive and do a great job!"

— Eileen C.

Home Maintenance

"The Honey-Doers team are A+ to work with. Organized, detailed, knowledgeable, professional are top words to describe this remodeling company. As interior designers, it's very important to our design firm that we have reliable teams to work with on remodel projects — and Honey-Doers fits that mold."

— Amber G.

Whole-Home Remodeling

"My relationship with Honey-Doers started with replacing an entrance door. For even that isolated project I could tell they cared about quality workmanship. Their latest work involved replacing home windows and a storm door — they matched trim and wall colors, and replaced rotted materials uncovered during the project. I have no reservations recommending them for projects from simple to those that impact the worthiness and worth of one's home."

— Steve K.
