Ray is the "BEST" manager you could ever have. He certainly knows the business and he's so knowledgeable in all areas of the construction work. He goes out of his way to help us. Javier, Peter, Byron and Oscar were very hard working and efficient. They never seem to tire out! They all were very pleasant and "top grade" with their work. Thank you for being our construction company. I highly recommend your service.

I wish to thank Hammer Construction Quality Restoration and Ronnie Mack for his work at Stella Maris House. Mr. Mack always checks the jobs and makes sure that all is going well. He comes into my office to keep me informed of the latest details. He isn't just friendly, but caring as well. He and his group work excellently together. Stella Maris House is happy with the job he is doing. Once again, thank you for Mr. McLeroy.

The house looks great! I'm very impressed with your work, having your company handle the work on this structural damage has been the only good thing to come out of this mess. I was particularly impressed with the floors. I was so worried that the new hardwood floors would never match up properly with the old hardwood floors that have been in place since 1926. The match is stunning! In addition, your professionalism and that of your crew, especially Jesse, was an absolute pleasure and refreshing change. Your staff at the office, although I never met them in person, always knew who I was when I called and they were prompt and polite in dealing with my questions. I appreciated their sense of humor through this experience. Thank you so much for alerting me to problems, explaining the procedure in rebuilding, running around to help me select tile for a house that I lost patience with and simply being an exceptionally helpful and supportive person in this process. Your kindness, patience and concern for my well-being really meant a lot to me.

Thank you for sending a wonderful crew that worked in the renovation of my office. It is such a pleasant experience for me coming back to the place with everything in order, neat and all the furniture rearranged to my request. Again my special thanks for these hard working employees; Mr. Raymond Rodriguez and his accommodating crews Pedro C., Luis C., Humbertoc., and Dallas C. My sincere thanks and may God bless you all and your company.

I have been dealing with Mr. Vandenburg during the repair and reconstruction of my Miami apartment. The apartment was severely damaged in a flood and has required extensive repair and reconstruction. The project required communication and cooperation in order to obtain the best result. Mr. Vandenburg has provided the utmost in guidance, communication and oversight and is clearly responsible for the excellent outcome and the efficient and timely manner in which the work was completed. It was a pleasure dealing with him and I'm sure that you know how lucky you are to have such a "complete" Project Manager on your staff.

Please accept this letter as my enthusiastic of Norman Newell, president of Hammer Construction Corp. I first became associated with Mr. Newell and his company following the devastating landfalls of hurricanes Jeanne and Frances. Upon being introduced and recommended to me by Ross Fury of Public Risk Management, the insurance provider for Okeechobee County, I was impressed with his professionalism and apparent competence with disaster restoration. Shortly thereafter, Hammer Construction was authorized to commence repair and restoration of most of the county's damaged facilities covered by PRM. Being a fiscally constrained rural county, the willingness of Hammer Construction to interface with our insurance provider as well as adjusters and underwriters to immediately commence critical repairs while at the same time ensuring the county's financial participation was limited to contractual deductibles, was a significant factor in the county's selection of this company. Throughout the entire restoration process, I, along with other county officials, observed Mr. Newell's company competently implement and successfully complete a logistically complex large-scale insurance claim. Further, Hammer Construction was both willing and capable of financing this extensive work pending receipt of insurance reimbursement - which we all know is an increasingly time consuming and burdensome process. Mr. Newell and his entire staff continuously worked closely with representatives from all parties involved in the recovery. Whether it was our county's officials, insurance adjusters or tenants of our properties, Hammer always maintained direct lines of communication that allowed for efficient and satisfactory issue resolution. Naturally, the most valuable advantage to our county's relationship with Mr. Newell was his understanding of the insurance-restoration practice. Mr. Newell was adept at obtaining PRM's approval for coverage issues and proper upgrades on behalf of Okeechobee County. In summary, Mr. Newell and Hammer Construction Corp. competently undertook and completed a significant disaster restoration for Okeechobee County and would certainly be considered should services of this nature again be required. As such, without hesitation, I would recommend this contractor to others requiring similar services.
