It is our pleasure to write about our personal experience with Hammers Construction. We own a small-animal veterinary clinic, and we were practicing out of a leased space on the edge of Black Forest. Due to increased growth in our practice, we needed a larger place and there were no existing buildings in the area to buy or lease. We knew our only option would be to buy land and build a new clinic. We had no experience with this process whatsoever. We heard that Hammers Construction had built another vet clinic, so we called and set up a meeting with Steve and Jason. They were very personable and extremely knowledgeable and put us right at ease. Even though it was an overwhelming thought, they walked us through the process and answered all our questions. Hammers is different in that they are a “one-stop-shop” construction company. They can help you with picking the right piece of land, to permitting and budgeting, to designing and building what you want (even if you do not know exactly what you want in the beginning!) They recommended a commercial realtor, Lester, who quickly came up with several options for property nearby. Then we began making our “wish list,” and with the help of our SBA lender, Mark, and Joe, our project manager, we began to narrow down exactly what we wanted and could afford. We cannot say enough about Joe. He had previous experience designing a vet clinic, so he was well-versed in what was important already, he listened to what we wanted, and he took our ideas and drew up the plans. He was attentive to our needs and communicated with us throughout the 6-month build and was not phased at all the few times we wanted to make some changes. We were also very impressed with Mike, the supervisor on site, he and his crew were there every day, they were professional, respectful and efficient. Joe did not close out the project until we were happy with every detail. They completed our project on time and within our budget. We would highly recommend Hammers Construction. We had an excellent overall experience, and we are extremely happy with our new veterinary clinic. Dr. Rick and Kristen Coufal

We began our process with Hammers Construction in February of 2019. Jason Kvols and Robert Green, our project manager, helped us with several discovery documents to assess the strengths and problems of possible building sites. Through this we were able to choose the perfect building location. Our needs were complicated by the fact that we were doing a 1031 Exchange, so timing was very important. By May of 2019 we had a contract on the land and were off to the development phase. Robert Green was instrumental in guiding us through the architectural and engineering process. This phase of any development can be difficult but with the guidance of Hammers we did not encounter any problems. They have a staff member, Lisa Peterson that is at the city and regional offices much of the time and will guide the application through the process. For us this took the balance of 2019. We closed on our land in January of 2020 and construction began end of February. WOW, covid hit! We were worried our construction may have been closed or slowed down, but that did not happen. The spring and summer went by fairly quickly. Robert Green was always available to meet with us or answer emails immediately. All of the milestones were crossed and we took possession of the building in October of 2020. This is a multi-tenant project. The fact that we were pre-leased in all the spaces before the construction was complete speaks volumes about how the site and design of the building were superb. Hammers also completed the tenant finish for our tenant Ascent Cycling. This space is so beautiful! A huge mezzanine was part of that finish. We had the best experience possible with Hammers Construction, I would recommend them to anyone doing a project!!

Incredible. Timely. Efficient. Fair. Professional. Honest. Just a few words to describe our experience. We’ve had too many issues with construction to name and ACE really stepped in to fix the other company’s work. The guys worked us in to their busy schedule and communicated from the jump. They identified some significant concerns based on the previous work done by another installer but gave us assurance and confidence they were the fix. Boy were they!! We knew when they would be in, they texted when they were on the way, they sent us a confirmation outlining the work they planned to do, and they gave us a detailed report after completing the work. Upon receiving our invoice it became clear the original work done by our original contractor had not been done correctly and ACE was able to correct the mistakes and get us back up and running. The price they did the job for was more than reasonable and SIGNIFICANTLY less than what we were quoted by our original construction team. ACE doesn’t cut corners. For a Commercial Business their attention to detail was UNBELIEVABLE. Competent pros that we unapologetically would give our highest praise and referral. Thanks to Coda & the boys for getting our Scratch Kitchen working correctly!!!

Steve Hammers and his crew are simply the best! In my entire career as a CEO I contracted for about 80 commercial construction projects. Hammers Construction is the best construction company we ever had. Recently, they completed an addition to a shopping center for us that another contractor had screwed up. We were in panic mode when I called Hammers. The project was behind schedule and plagued with problems. They fast tracked the entire project and their pricing was less than I expected. Just after they got started we had 7 weeks of impossible weather. Hammers worked nights and weekends to make up the time and did not charge us anything extra. Their project manager, Joe Butler, did an amazing job and went way beyond in solving a variety of problems with our tenants. It was a pleasure doing business with real professionals. I highly recommend Hammers Construction. If you would like to talk to a Hammers Customer please call me! Steve Hammers has my cell number. Sincerely, Bill Pearse

Hammers Construction built our Veterinary Center. We were completely new to the construction process and in over our heads in the beginning. Hammers took care of everything for us including platting process of our lot, permitting, etc. allowing us to focus our time on starting our business. We regret working with an outside company's Architect to design the basic layout of our facility because it was much easier to have weekly meetings with Joe on the design. Throughout construction, as difficulties and unforeseen issues arose, Hammers was able to be proactive in creating solutions. Hammer's subcontractor's did a great job as well. We were very nervous about receiving our certificate of occupancy before our open house, but in the end Hammers got it done. Overall, the quality of their work is excellent and whenever something was not done to their standards, our superintendent personally took care of it himself. We feel that we received an tremendous value for the budget that we had.
